<3 Container the Zelda series. ;D

Games I have Completed:
The Legend of Zelda (NES)
Link's awakening (Gameboy)
A Link to the Past (Super NES)
Ocarina of time (Nintendo 64)
Oracle of Ages/Oracle of Seasons(Gameboy Color)
Minish cap (Gameboy Advance)

I haven't and won't play the DS titles, because a stylus based control scheme in an action adventure game seems retarded to me.
I have tried Playing Adventure of Link, (NES) but it's a pretty big departure from the other games in the series. I tried playing Twilight Princess, but I hated the easy difficulty level and thought the story line was very poor. I need to finish Windwaker. I need to finish Skyward Sword, but I can never seem to find the time. D:

My favorite would probably be A link to the Past or Ocarina of time. The Minish Cap was also quite excellent, as were the gameboy installments.

Woo, good to see someone else likes the Oracle games. Those are the only ones I ever managed to finish. (Well, nearly Minish Cap, but gPsP died on me :P

Yea, Ages/Seasons was really cool. One was more fighting oriented(and a throwback to the original game) and one was more puzzle oriented. I forget which was which though. The password system that let allowed you to get items and such  from the other game once you completed certain milestones was cool too.

I really need to try Ages/Seasons one day. Back in the late '90s and early 2000's I wasn't too fond of the idea of buying/supporting new Nintendo console games because at that time I felt that all they tried every sneaky way possible to grab money from us hardcore gamers by doing the following practices:

-Charging $79.99 for games instead of $59.99 like on the Playstation and Sega Dreamcast. It's not because of cartridges, because until late 2004 they did it on the GameCube too (sometimes you could get the console for cheaper).
-Requiring buying an extra $39.99 expansion pack to play most late Nintendo 64 games, as if $79.99 for a game wasn't enough. Not only that, but that expansion pack was nearly impossible to find in any store.
-Requiring purchasing an extra game in order to 100% a game (Most Pokémon games and Zelda OoA/OoS) and sometimes even an extra Game Boy Advance.

Of course now it isn't as bad so I don't really mind anymore. I was kinda angry at Sony too for starting the memory card trend (although mem cards and cartridges with memory backup were quite handy since you could bring them at friend's house).

You could as well have a friend get the other game so that you exchange with him. That's what it was intended for. ;)

True, although it was hard if all your friends just had a Playstation (Blame Final Fantasy VII). :P

I heard recently that it was confirmed Ages/Seasons are going to be on the 3DS eShop in the future, so that might be a good time to try them :D

Or find yourself a well-functioning emu. I ran through the Oracle games with gbc4nspire :P

What I don't like about that option, though, is that I always confuse the savestate button with loadstate. There needs to be a way to have to confirm reloading/saving to avoid accidental progress loss. On other emulators it's less confusing in general.

Well, yeah. At least a key configuration would've been nice, so that you couldn't accidentally press the wrong button :P

Back on topic, though, I'm starting a playthrough on Majora's Mask, and generally miserably failing. Maybe it has to do with my emu controls, but I'm too lazy to fix them, so it's not going too well :/

That's why when I save state, I always save in two different slots to have a backup, and I save every few minutes :P

Which doesn't work for gbc4nspire, as there's only one save-load-state slot :P

Yeah the keys are just ridiculously hard to find in Zelda 2 due to the dungeon layout being very simple and thus, confusing.

Well, I don't know if it renders the game impossible to continue literally, as maybe I did miss another key somewhere, but you can end up searching for hours for such key. I think it's particularly bad in the 4th palace.
Oh, that makes more sense then :)

That reminds me, I forgot about Majora's Mask. That is yet another one I need to complete.
