It's simply impossible to discuss mind-blowing E3 moments without mentioning surely the single most enthusiastically received game to ever be shown at E3 - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

Nintendo concluded their 2004 presser with a reveal trailer for the upcoming GameCube game, showing off its gorgeous graphics and fluid gameplay to an audience that couldn't be more thrilled.

And to top it all off, once the trailer finished Shigeru Miyamoto came out onto the stage, rocking the Master Sword and Hylian Shield to the sort of response typically afforded to rock stars.

Audience videos from the Zelda reveal have become iconic in their own right over the last 20 years, typifying just how damn excited people were to get their hands on Link's latest adventure.
