When I got Zelda for the original Nintendo system, my then-ten-year-old son wasn't impressed. It hooked me, though. So, he would go into his room and I would stay in the living room playing Zelda until I came upon a monster that I just couldn't beat. Then I'd call him out, and, of course, he would defeat it easily.
I've been a Zelda fan ever since, and I'm anxiously looking forward to the new one.
I like Zelda games in all flavors--2D and 3D--so I'm also desperately looking forward to the new Gameboy Zelda--the Minish Cap. Looks terrific.
Way cool! I never liked the "Cell Look" of Wind Walker.
It was the Zelda games that we played (the main character was Link, I believe).
Anyway, I appreciate pepople jogging my memory about happy times in the early 80's. And I do still have that Nintendo set with all of the games.
