ddsfjaihshalskggda I loved the Oracle games. ; o ; I hate that a bully from elementary school stole them from me as a kid. At least I had the true ending.

Guess I'm the only person in existence who doesn't really like Earthbound all that much. I've played it before, and I just don't think it aged very well. It probably helps that I don't have any nostalgia for the game either.

As for LttP, I had the GBA version when I was younger but I didn't enjoy it very much. I'd probably enjoy it more now, but I no longer have the cartridge so I'll just get it when it inevitably makes it's way to the Virtual Console.

Never played the Oracle games, so I'm looking forward to trying them!

I was okay with paying $50 for SMT IV even without the bonus stuff, so that makes it all the better.

Super excited for Bravely Default, but I'm not a fan of the long wait.

Everything else doesn't really interest me.

It's not so much the nostalgia, but the fact the game has so much charm and heart in it. XD Yes, it didn't age well, but honestly, I prefer it over Mother 3.

Do I need any other reason?

I'm so sad that I lost my copy of Oracle of Seasons. It bothers me so much, because I have absolutely no idea where it could have gone. For years, I was convinced it was behind the bookshelf in my closet, until I finally moved it and was crushed to not see it there.

T-T It... it thought you didn't want it anymore and moved on to the Island of Misfit Toys. You fool!

@Earthbound: No, Lostman. I didn't care for the game, either. It was... funny for the first fifteen minutes, but after that it was like playing a game a friend made using RPG MAKER or something.

@LttP: I LOVE the graphics of the game and the world and the story. The manual had time and effort put into it. The story was simplistic and cliche, but it was elegant. I literally cried tears for Flute Boy and his grandfather . Like any aged game, you can't go into it thinking it's going to be Ocarina of Time with a full-fledged story and pages and pages of dialogue.
Short and sweet: it's about a boy who loses his uncle at the beginning of the game, and is the last remaining of the bloodline of Knights who were charged with keeping the Princess safe - and his destiny to obtain the Master Sword. If you can't go into the game with that sort of inspiration ^_^; it's probably going to fail you.

But the puzzles and the dungeons! O_O *drools*
I like this math:
LoZ - 9 dungeons
AoL - 7
LttP - 12 (13 if you count Hyrule Castle twice)
LA - 8
Ocarina of Time - 9
and well... let's just say, it never breaks 10 in any other Zelda game. It's lucky if it breaks 8.

And Skyward Sword has the most pathetic excuse for dungeons in the whole series. <_< Controls aside (which I enjoyed) that game was a serious wash. I've honestly not completed it. I've not had the drive to do so.

Hey! Guess whose used 3DS is starting to bite him in the ass by his R button being finicky on weapons that need the R button!?

This guy!

LoZ: LttP is still my favorite game in the series.

Link to the Past is still my favorite Zelda title of all time. Then again, I'm a bit of a fanatic for 2D art, so the newer titles can't really compare in my mind.

I'd like to say Link to the Past is my favourite, but mostly by default, as I've only ever completed that and the original Zelda on my old Famicom. I don't remember playing more than an hour of any of the other installments in the series.

(I miss my Famicom. Woke up one morning to find that mice had chewed through some of the wiring. Never got around to replacing....)

My Famicom works better than my NES.

Freakin' top loaders, man.
