I've done the 3-heart challenge too. It was actually only the second time I played through OoT. Fun stuff. I found it is most helpful to have 1 fairy and 3 bottles of milk. That way you get one insurance life if you make a stupid mistake or an enemy gets a lucky hit (like those Iron Knuckles) but you also get 6 life-refills since each bottle of milk holds 2 drinks. I'm playing through MM and WW this way as well, and got stuck at the fish boss in the Water Temple on MM. That was a couple years ago though... WW I played more recently, and am starting on the Triforce Hunt.
It really is a fun and challenging way to play though the games. I highly recommend it. I think I tried with LttP, but there was some reason that you couldn't stay at only 3 hearts, like you automatically got one after each boss. I can't remember...
But anyway, I still hold Ocarina of Time as my favorite game ever. LttP is 2nd. Some things that I recall being special:
Kakariko Village. The music, the atmosphere, and most especially that cutscreen tour of the village the first time you enter it.
Running up the steps of Gannon's Tower around and around while the creepy organ gets louder and louder, finally entering his room and seeing him playing with his back turned.
Jumping out of Lon Lon Ranch with Epona the first time.
Everything about the game was so well done. It was so new and fresh, and now so much of what was introduced in OoT is just standard. Like the day/night stuff. I spent hours watching the sun move through the sky and how the light changed and the shadows and all that. Special times.
I really think they are going to be able to top OoT with Twilight Princess. I don't know how, but I think it's gonna happen.
