House Republicans Attempt Zelda Reference, Fuck It Up

House Republicans put out a thing today on tax reform, and for reasons unknown, they built the entire thing around a Zelda reference.

The Legend of Zelda series is Nintendo’s best-selling video game franchise enjoyed by more than two generations of gamers. The action-adventure game was released in 1986, only one year after Nintendo’s founding in 1985.

And you know what else was released in 1986? Yeah, you do. The last major reform to the American tax code was signed into law in 1986.

Nintendo was founded in 1889.
