I don't think OoA/OoS are mainline, are they? They're Capcom developed IIRC. So that means just Spirit Tracks and Link's Awakening.

Everything that's not a CD-i game is "mainline", because YOU asked for it!

Anything in the TIMELINE is mainline and canon and whatever else you want it to be. They are all... linked, you might say.

That's a dumb definition of mainline and I refuse to use it. :colbert: Also the time line is loving bullshit. I love Zelda to the point that I own Adventures of Link on cartridge, but the time line is just a bunch of fan wank IMO.

I would say mainline Zelda games would be ones that appeared on Nintendo systems. It's simple and excludes any cd-i.

Nope, all three Capcom Zeldas (OoA/OoS/TMC) are full mainline Zeldas, and among the best games in the series.

So as of tomorrow, the only mainline Zelda games not playable on an NA Wii U, besides the GB/GBC titles, will be Majora's Mask and Spirit Tracks, with Skyward Sword available for physical but not digital play.

(This is excluding Four Swords Adventures for obvious reasons)

If Nintendo is trying to build Zelda hype before E3, will we see at least one of Majora's Mask, Spirit Tracks, or Skyward Sword added to VC before E3?

Well if you want to say, including having a 3DS, you can play every major Zelda game (you can play four swords adventure on a modded wii-mode)

So if they add Spirit Tracks, which is likely, you have the ability to play every main Zelda game and most of the spinoffs on just a Wiiu alone.

I think it's a totally new composition for the eShop. Usually changes only last a week or so before they revert to the default - this has been playing for more than that.

skyward sword seems like an obvious eShop release for E3, which would be great because it's one of the last couple of wii games that still cost $60+

if they can get Radiant Dawn on there that would make the collectors so pissed and that would make me happy
