Same, but with Link's Awakening. LttP is a close second, though.

I keep waffling back and forth between whether I should get this at launch

the one thing I liked about Nintendo's online was that it was free and I really can't believe they are only providing 32 gigs of space in the thing by default

Any game made and published by Nintendo or a second party holds its value insanely well
He'll up until relatively recently brawl was still selling for like 50 dollars

I heard about that but I looked up some random Nintendo titles on eBay and you were able to get all of them under :10bux:, N64 games seem to keep the value up though.

To be fair the online is going to be like 25 dollars a year, starting in the fall.

32gb kinda sucks I guess but at this point who doesn't have a giant SD card laying around?

32 gbs is Zelda plus like 4 other games or more right now so you can worry about space later or do a combo of physical and digital and not worry longer

I remember when the guy who wrote that had a literal meltdown over the first Wind Waker trailer.

A lot of fans really wanted this franchise about fighting a giant pig man to be this super serious and tragic epic that would prove games could be art.

Zelda is big but other games aren't

Disgaea 5 – 5.92 GB
Dragon Quest Heroes I & II – 32 GB
I Am Setsuna – 1.40 GB
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – 13.4 GB
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – 7 GB
Nobunaga’s Ambition – 5 GB
Puyo Puyo Tetris – 1.09 GB
Snipperclips – 1.60 GB

I'm excited for Splatoon 2, but I do hope they keep things trickling in a little faster than last time. By the time the last 2 maps were unveiled, I was burnt out on it.

It's better to keep the playerbase alive by spreading content over a long period of time though, so there's always something new to check out. What would be most ideal is if they could speed up the updates while still having enough to spread over the same length of time.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I liked playing and learning the small amount of maps when Splatoon launched. And when they'd release a couple of stages and some new weapons, it renewed my interest in the game many more times than it would've if they'd dropped all the levels into the game on day one. The updates made the world feel really alive

The updates were fantastic. I could be OK with a slightly faster release schedule, but I think that was fine too.

Keeping it FRESH was part of it but also keeping the learning curve as smooth as possible for people who didn't get in on day one. A really good system.


Also, I fully support the stage and mode rotations. I'd be fine with three stages or shorter times, but it really encouraged you to GET GUD at different combinations rather than just mastering your one sniper nest or whatever.

And the hilarious part is that Wind Waker is about as metal as it gets, especially the ending where the King of Hyrule goes "SUCK MY DICK, I AM FLOODING THIS FAILED KINGDOM FOREVER!" and Link jams a sword into a dude's head.

Definitely like this too. It feels like each round of stages is an event, and whenever me and my friend's favorite stages and modes would come up, we'd set up a time to play

I read an article by a certain someone with an affinity for Zelda who works for Easy Allies now who in his younger days during the aftermath of the E3 2004 Mature Zelda trailer wrote ways in which he thought the game could be truly "Mature", the number one way of course would be that "Link has to die, onscreen and it's very sad."

Granted we did get a Dead Link in Twilight Princess after all, even if it wasn't the one we were playing as. And he was more of an Undead Link.

Do you like the color of whatever you want? Because decals exist and are very good. And easier to apply then a screen protector.
