@streakmachine I wouldn't necessarily say "too different from the old stuff" though. For gamers that follow certain series, like Zelda or Mario or GTA even, the mentality is more "too different from what we're used to".

@streakmachine It's definitely better to form your own opinion on a game rather than solely base your thoughts on reviews you've seen or heard. I think the one thing that has put me off starting Zelda from the beginning is the whole depth perception thing. Playing a game from a bird's eye view slightly freaks me out. I felt the same way playing the early GTA games too.

@streakmachine Definitely!! That being said I have not played any Zelda today but rather watched it being played, which is just as nice in my opinion. It's making me want Breath of the Wild more and more though. I'm tempted to play a little now before I hit the bed but knowing how addictive it is, I'm likely to stay awake for longer than I need to. It's the end of Easter weekend and I'm back at work tomorrow … sigh!
@kdfrawg It's ok, it was more about venting frustration than anything else. He is more focused on being in his own little bubble and doesn't much care for what's happening around him. He makes an idiot of himself at every family gathering and I don't know what else I can do to make him see that. My mum actually said something to me today that I'm strongly thinking about too. I think I'll let all the emotion of the day die down first before I make any important decisions.
Is it really only 9.57pm?? I thought it was way later than that. Just means more Zelda for me … I'll probably end up in bed at some ridiculous hour, and with 1 more day of my 4 day weekend left, that'll suit me just fine.
@streakmachine I'll see how quickly I can finish Ocarina and then maybe I'll explore going further back. Interestingly enough, I've heard mixed reviews on some of the later Zelda games (i.e. Majora's Mask, Skyward Sword).

@matigo I had an original GameBoy back in the day1. I remember having a few Kirby games and a few others but never any of the Zelda games. I wonder if I could get a GameBoy Colour on eBay …

The old black & white one that took AA batteries!! Ok, now I feel old!
