    Technically Four Swords Adventure is the sequel since it's in the same timeline LOZ.

    But how could they make it happen? Unless someone by a miracle collects all the shards of the mirror and open the gate again?

    Which game should I play next? A Link to the Past or Wind Waker?

    That's a win-win situation.

    Wind Waker. I love ALttP, but I like Wind Waker more. You can't go wrong either way, as both are my second and third favorite games in the series.

    WWHD did put it almost at the very top of my favorite 3D Zeldas. It fixed most of the gripes I had about it, and I almost forgot about how expressive Link's eyes were in that game.

    ALttP first since it'll be shorter to complete and 100% if you've been aiming for that.

    A Link to the Past. The game is brilliant.

    Why aren't ANY Super Nintendo games available on the 3DS shop?

    I'd kill to have Earthbound for download on there instead of the Wii U. (I own an actual copy of Earthbound still for my SNES.

    I'd easily shell out 10-15 bucks for ALttP, Super Metroid, and Earthbound for the 3DS. Aint no way I'm buying a Wii.

    Decided to go for the two Oracle games since those two were available and I haven't played them yet... but it's such a waste not to have A Link to the Past on the 3DS considering A Link Between Worlds is on the same system.

    I wouldn't mind playing it on my Wii U, but I'm not sure if game systems will be allowed to army bases... heck, I'm not sure if they'll allow for the 3DS since it got a camera! I shamelessly have it on my phone but smart phones won't be allowed there either! How the heck will I spend my free time there with no smartphones or internet? Especially the first month when I'll be stuck there for three weeks! Gaah!!

    Got that covered, but I can't live with just books!

    On a serious note I will have weekends I'll spend in my house so it's not like it'll be that different from how it is now.

    Today I started with A Link to the Past. The game so far so good, but I have three complaints about it:

    1- The hit detection is a bit off. After being used to Link's Awakening and earlier start with The Minnish Cap I find myself having a little problem hitting my enemies with my sword.

    2- Slippery controls. Not sure if it's my problem but there are times when Link doesn't get through doors as smoothly as it should be. More often he appears to be slipping his feet before it gets to the other room.

    3- Having a complete map from the start. While it's nice to give me the whole land map from the start, I find it more annoyance to not know which areas I have been to already or not.

    EDIT: Two other complaints:

    4- When I load my game it doesn't start me where I last saved. The only options I have are Link's house and the Sanctuary. It doesn't start me in the dungeon I was in current progress and it annoys me to walk all that distance to continue were I was.

    5- Another thing that annoys me when I load my game it doesn't start me with full health so that's another chore I have to do before I set out to my next destination.

    Are you playing it on the Wii U or the GBA version?

    The Wii U is the SNES version, which like the original game, started you back at the sanctuary.

    I'm playing it on the Wii U. Currently I'm trying to reach the third pendant and turned to a pink rabbit.

    Holy crap it took me five days to finish the game!

    Well, I did get addicted to it to the point I sacrificed my anime timeslot just to play it. The game was amazing for its time and still amazing today. The quests, the puzzle solving all was exciting to do. At first it was a simple game with dungeons easy to finish, but as it went on it got encrypted and twisty trying to figure out hoe to get the next room to the point it turned to a puzzle game rather than an adventure game.

    Favorite game? It's at the top, but I still prefer Twilight Princess over it. But compared to Link's Awakening it was miles better.

    I need to take a break from Zelda games. I played so much to the point my dreams started to merge with the game!
