While practically everyone has played at least one modern Zelda title or another, few people these days are willing to go back and trudge through the mottled pixels of the original NES Legend of Zelda, or Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. While A Link to the Past, The Ocarina of Time and successive titles have built on the foundation of the original NES titles tremendously, there are still crucial elements found in the originals which never made it to the rest of the series.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
NE: "We predict all of the possible announcements and games Nintendo could release for The Legend of Zelda's 40th anniversary."
How about the original Legend of Zelda remade with the Echoes of Wisdom engine. Maybe throw in added dungeons, or expand the map to make the game longer than the original.

Is the OoT screenshot a comp of hyrule field with the Windows Vista desktop layered over the foreground?
nice i am going to read it noww
IMO it is hard to tell which Zelda was the best bc they were all so great. What I definately loved about the first one was that the clues were so limited. Half the fun of the game was finding all of the secret dungeons. Who could ever forget blowing the flute and the water turning to sand to reveal a dungeon.
They were all awesome games but I think the worst one was probably Zelda 2:AOL bc it strayed so far from it's roots.
Every website is doing these "retrospectives". Do we really need them?
