That's nice, but I'm more of a K-T kind of gamer. My favorite game series is Legend of Zelda. In fact, I was planning on doing a run-through of the game with a cheat active that caused even the slightest amount of damage done to Link be lethal. Sad to say the cheat cut out half-way through the game.

Blah…

Link to the Past and Link’s Awakening were great. Ocarina of Time was fine. I knew it wasn’t going to be the huge deal everypony was making it out to be, but whatever.

In fact, Metroid and Mario are probably the only two franchises from way back that actually did the transition into 3D successfully. Mega Man too, in the form of Mega Man Legends, but that’s now completely defunked.

Storywise? Sorry, I don’t care if Link is the most popular video game character ever. I’ll take JC Denton or Raziel any day. Give me a dynamic character that actually grows. Not some flat nothing that turns into ‘the big darn hero’, just so you can project yourself on to them. But somepony that already has convictions that they have to battle against, as much as they do their surroundings. Because when they have to make 'that decision’, or 'that sacrifice’, it’s meaningful.
