Okay, I've NEVER been one for handheld gaming, but I recently went and bought one of the Nintendo 3DS XLs and was very weary. I've had a few handhelds in the past, but never really took to them. But with Zelda titles exclusive to this system, I decided to take the plunge.
So far, I've really loved this system. I thought the 3D was a gimmick when I played demos in the store, but it isn't half bad. I do turn it off sometimes, however. And I'm glad it plays all the regular Nintendo DS titles too. I had bought the Zelda Limited Edition DS system off of eBay years ago to play Phantom Hourglass. And recently I grabbed Spirit Tracks on the cheap too.
As soon as I hit the Nintendo eShop, I bought the following Zelda titles: Legend of Zelda, Zelda II: Adventure of Link, Link's Awakening DX, Oracle of Ages, and Oracle of Seasons - plus a few others. I already own all of them, but I don't feel like having to switch back and forth between systems to play the other games and they weren't expensive to download.
Nintendo also announced a new 3DS Zelda title that is going to be based off of the gameplay and graphic style of Link to the Past from Super Nintendo. That was one of my all time favorite games, so that was also a big hook.
So, anyone else like the 3DS? I also bought Luigi's Mansion 2 as I loved the first one on the Gamecube. Haven't played it yet though.

My son has the 3DS, first edition console. He received it for Christmas two years ago, and he loves it. Like you, I was never much for hand held units...always preferring my console deck. After seeing him use it, and all the added features on it...it really is impressive. The graphics are great, and the access he has to download titles and bonus content are great for him.
I was impressed by it, game titles, and it's online features are very impressive. He does turn off the 3D aspect as he says it hurts his eyes, but I do think the 3D display is sharp, and looks great.
The next game my son wishes to buy is the Mario and Luigi Dream Team. He is very excited about playing it.

I have a 3DS, and it is currently one of my favorite gaming platforms. It's not only BC with the DS's great library, but it has it's own expanding library of great games.
Here's what I have, physical-wise (the ones with the asterisks are the ones that I'd personally recommend for all 3DS owners): Super Mario 3D Land* Mario Kart 7 Paper Mario: Sticker Star Mario & Luigi: Dream Team* Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D* Pokemon Rumble Blast Fire Emblem: Awakening* Kid Icarus: Uprising* Animal Crossing: New Leaf* Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked* Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers Shin Megami Tensei IV* Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan Code of Princess
In addition, I have Pokemon Y and The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds preordered.

It's not just that; it's a full-on sequel to A Link to the Past, taking place in the same world but some time after.
All I have in physical form right now is Zelda; Ocarina of Time 3D and Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. I haven't played Luigi's Mansion yet because I've been enjoying the hell out of playing Ocarina again. I've been so against Nintendo doing remakes, but man is this good! I can't wait for Zelda: A Link Between Worlds to come out!!!
In addition to those games I also picked up a few regular DS titles. I already owned the Zelda collectors edition of a DS Lite, but I honestly didn't play it much. So I still have to go back and beat Phantom Hourglass. But I picked up Spirit Tracks and Metroid Prime Hunters for the cheap on eBay.
Furthermore, I just got my Nintendo Wii U because they put out the Zelda collector's edition with the HD remake of Windwaker. Can't wait to give that a whirl. That system has been a pleasant surprise and flew under my radar as I wrote it off as a joke.

Fave games; Anything Nintendo. Zelda Ocarina of Time*, Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, Mario 3D Land*, New Mario 2, Fire Emblem*, Pokemon*
(starred what I considered the best) I love that system. If you delve further into the DS library then good luck with your spare time - there is a whole load of incredible games on that system.
The only thing the 3DS needs is GBA compatibility through the eShop. Nintendo always hit it out the park with their handheld systems, and the GBA, DS and 3DS have incredible libraries.
