Hrmm, looks like I missed most of the Zelda discussion.
I'm just gonna through a few of my few thoughts, because I really don't want to full story tell here.
1) In every Zelda game, the Water Temple is the worst. By that I mean it's the most confusing asshole of a dungeon, and they know it, and they do it as tradition just to piss you off.
2) I thought Wind Waker was a solid game, and it had great replay value. Wearing normal clothes is fun and all, but being able to understand Hylian makes it so much more interesting for those scenes.
3) My top three Zelda games are Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, and A Link To The Past.
4) I thought A Link To The Past had the best selection of items and weapons. Seriously, there's 20 items (23 if you count all 4 jars seperately) you can use, Pegasus Boots, Gauntlets (lvl 1, 2), flippers, a magic pearl, shield (lvl 1, 2, 3), armour (lvl 1, 2, 3) and sword (lvl 1, 2, 3, 4)
5) I'm fucking excited for the new Zelda game. I can't wait for it to come out, because I am pumped!
