I just beat the original Wind Waker (not the HD version) for the first time. I don't yet have a Wii U, so I can't play the HD version :(. I'm also playing Fire Emblem: Awakening for the 3DS. It's an excellent game. It's insane how many different relationship pairs and conversations there are. And the game itself plays like any other SRPG, which I find entertaining. I'm just wondering why I never got into Fire Emblem earlier (I did play it when it first came over to the states though).
What did you think of Windwaker? Forgive me for being surprised you've only just played it for the first time! But I'm glad you got to experience it, haha. Fire Emblem: Awakening got so many hours out of me. It has only just been replaced by Animal Crossing (soon to be Pokemon X/Y). The writing is stellar, and there's so much room for replayability! It's awesome.
Being a Zelda fan, I'm surprised at myself for not playing it yet. I found it to be quite an amazing experience, even though some parts were a bit tedious. Luckily everything that I found problematic about the game was supposedly fixed in the HD version. I got Animal Crossing before Fire Emblem, so it's currently sitting at my "most played" on my 3DS. I'm wondering if I'm going to be playing Fire Emblem long enough to top it. Though, when Link Between Worlds comes out, that'll most definitely hit the top of my list. Already have it pre-ordered :D
Nice! Yeah, the HD remake definitely fixes a lot of the tedious stuff. Windwaker Link is definitely my favorite Link of all. Those expressions of his give him so much more character than most other Links. I forgot Link Between Worlds is coming out soon! It's been totally under my radar, which is strange, as I'm a Zelda fan myself. I'll probably pick it up soon after it comes out. The 3DS is really on a roll as of late in terms of good releases.
