Yeah but if we're going to accept that argument, what about the black box NES/Famicom rereleases on the same system? You're probably right anyway, but Nintendo isn't always that logical with their choices.
That aside I'm surprised the Zelda games never got an "Allstars" treatment of the earlier games at least. Though they may have seen this as competition to the Dragon Quest collections they made with Enix.
Too awkward for me to rate. Majora's Mask is my third favorite game of all time and OoT is certainly up there as well, but MM's relatively poor performance and the lack of both ALttP and Link's Awakening prevent this from being the "quintessential" Zelda compilation. Having a Wind Waker demo is pretty cool though.
Just had Majora’s Mask crash on me after getting my 12th stray fairy in Great Bay Temple, and I have to restart from before I got all the Zora eggs. Fuck this shit. Life is a hell. Now I have to kill all those fucking snakes again so the seahorses can kiss. Seriously feeling very lost right now
Just happened again after the 13th fairy in Stone Tower Temple. I sat there in a daze for what must have been 10 minutes listening to the droning buzz from my CRT as Link stood frozen in time, his light arrow hanging in midair halfway between his readied bow and a floating Death Armos. We are all like that arrow, I suppose, raging bitterly against the current of time toward some Death Armos forever just out of reach. We watch that brilliant light arrow, confident that though it may not reach its destination today, tomorrow it will fly a little faster, and then one fine morning— So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
Why Zelda II and not ALttP?
