    Anyone else notice that the Game & Watch Collection on the Club Nintendo website now says "sold out"? I was only, like, two surveys away from getting that.

    Anybody know if they've been "sold out" before, only to be restocked later? Or am I going to be buying myself some posters and a pen case instead?

    They need another Zelda like Majora's mask.

    My god that game was epic, one of the only games where i actually thought the world was in peril.

    They couldn't wait a few months and add Conductor Link? Regardless, it's an awesome offer and I had no choice but to jump on it.

    Urgh, Wind Waker Link is on there like three times. God, I hate that design.

    That being said, I ordered it for the Twilight Princess poster, which is gorgeous.

    @sideshowbob916: Wind Waker was a pretty bad Zelda, especially compared to how good Majora and Ocarina were before it. Half the game was just sailing aimlessly around a featureless blue void looking for triforce pieces you COULDN'T FIND if you were using a Wavebird.

    The game had an amazing end-boss sequence and one of the most haunting stages ever (Hyrule Castle), but overall it was a pretty bad Zelda game (which still means it's decently better than most other games). Link's terrible "always giving the People's Eyebrow" character design didn't help either.

    @Archaotic: I replayed Wind Waker about a year ago and I really don't remember needing to use rumble to find any treasures, including the Triforce pieces.

    The Wind Waker was actually the only Zelda game I've genuinely enjoyed. It has its faults, sure, but the open seamless world heavy with exploration (I never found sailing to be an issue at all) mixed with the timeless graphics (Twilight Princess looks more outdated than Wind Waker to me) and a really good storyline makes me like Wind Waker the most. Twilight Princess was just Boring McGeneric Fest through and through for me. It had its moments but its gameplay felt archaic, significantly more than Wind Waker despite it being newer.

    I do agree that the Twilight Princess poster is awesome. The one thing I liked about Twilight Princess is its beautiful concept art, which sadly wasn't even close to being replicated in the actual game.

    @Ueziel: Fighting engine =/= entire gameplay scheme. Wind Waker introduced a variety of gameplay elements that were very well integrated with the game and the story. Twilight Princess focused nearly the entire time copying Ocarina of Time and adding a tiny twist to it just so they could call it "new".

    Pretty sure you meant "unwilling" infant rather than "unwitting". I mean, was the infant ignorant? Inadvertent? Accidental infant...what are you trying to say?
    Can an infant really be oblivious? Doesn't that entail...I don't know, consciousness? On an infant? And specifically consciousness of Zelda?
