Meanwhile at Nintendo
Hey now, it's not like Zelda is Metroid or anything
If you can find yourself a copy (or digital) of The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Special Orchestra CD, it's worth it.

Beautiful.I still have my golden cart NES game, boxed, complete.
My favorite series, and I look forward to a bright future.
It's funny because whether or not my opinion on any individual game in this post is "Holy shit this is GREAT!" or "Meh..." they're all HIGH QUALITY games with a ton of love and thought put into them.
I so desperately wish that IPs like Sonic the Hedgehog, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, (3D) Bomberman, etc etc. shared Zelda's fate of maintaining an impeccable pedigree for the past 3+ decades.
Happy 35th Anniversary, LoZ!!
Every work day is relaxing Zelda music day. Definitely check out the Zelda mixes from shadowatnoon, tenpers and vapidbobcat on YouTube if you haven't.Gonna celebrate by listening to Wind Waker's music today
Happy birthday, Zelda! I started the series late (Wind Waker) since my parents thought the series was too violent for me as a little kid, but once I was an adolescent, it was smooth sailing from there (no pun intended). I got the Collector's Edition shortly thereafter and played them all, ingraining myself as a fan for life. Here's to 35 more years and many more.
Hey now, even the CD-i games have their charms. But then again, maybe I'm biased lol

Not enough can be said for how groundbreaking The Legend of Zelda was for the adventure genre in much the same way SMB was for platformers. I'll never forget the first time I played it and hearing the ambient and moody dungeon music with the sound of the boss eerily roaring in the distance when you approached its lair, that was the moment I was hooked:
And last time I checked in 2006 (during the 20th anniversary) the battery save in my gold cart still worked!

Still waiting on Zelda 1 and 2 remakes from Nintendo. I'm playing the Third Quest patch for the BS Zelda remake on snes and it's very good. Makes it much more easier and accessible while still maintaining the feel of the 1986 version.
So is it safe to say Nintendo will release a collection of the older games similar to Super Mario 3D All-Stars? Since I'll buy the shit out of that.
The only mainline game I've played is BotW so I have lot of catching up to do.

At best, you will get a 60 bucks collection of OOT and MM.
But the rest? No. WW HD 60 bucks, TW HD 60 bucks, SS HD 60 bucks.
See this feels a lot more personal to me than Mario's 35th.
I'm currently replaying LttP on NSO and might do the same with the Link's Awakening remake. Might also be a good excuse to finally finish the BotW DLC before the sequel.
I might buy a Wind Waker/Twilight HD double-pack, but I'm not touching that Skyward Sword port, nor the overpriced drift-magnet joycons. Fucking do better Nintendo.

What a sight, wow. What an amazing franchise. Some of the best games ever.I still have my golden cart NES game, boxed, complete.

My favorite series even though I never got to play most of them until after BotW came out. I had the N64 version of OoT and that was it. I have to use CEMU to play TP and WW and I hope Nintendo ports them to Switch.
Also, probably an unpopular opinion, but BotW Link is best Link. They finally ditched the goofy hat.
That thing never looked cool.
I just played them back to back - but reversed. I like WW's art style better, but I thought TP was the better game overall - minus the slow intro.

Yup. I reaaaaaaally hope we get the same treatment links awakening got.
OMG the nostalgia! I love Spirit Tracks and Phantom Hourglass.Most Zelda companions aren't great, but Midna was superb.
The only competition I think she has is Ghost Zelda from Spirit Tracks.
It's February 21st in Japan
Best Link. Still got my golden carts lying around somewhere here too, great memories from back in the day.
i only just realized that he has the whole inventory with him... is that the only link that was able to do that? all other had that magic bag or whatever...
Haha I love that this was apparently a sincere question. :P
I did mean Zelda the character being playable in a full capacity. But also, Phantom Hourglass is literally unplayable for me.
🤣
Can anyone succinctly explain to me why Nintendo hasn't acknowledged this? I mean, it's weird, right?
Yeah I don't understand it. Like who is running their Twitter and social media pages???
