  • I hope this works.

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Like could have been equally expressive in the form we saw him in during those E3 movies, just without all of this Saturday Morning cartoon bullshit. I'm sure these incredible expressions that baby Link is capable of will be awe-inspiring to children, but Zelda has been the one series Nintendo had (other than Metroid) that had incredible potential to appeal to older, more mature audiences. I think they have their priorities mixed up.

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Comparing Miyamato to Picasso is like comparing apples to... no, oranges won't cut it. Vaginal moisturizers, maybe. They're artists in completely different fields, and besides, Miyamato never made "beautiful copies." His are all originals.</div>
