Listening to the sound of my younger sister and her husband talk video games with our eldest niece and nephews.
“The owl has more usefulness than Sheik!”
“We get the picture!”
I accidentally mentioned that I wish there was more Sheik usage in the game “Zelda: Ocarina of Time.” It was the only Zelda game that I ever played as a kid and my eldest niece was asking for pointers on how to do something for the Princess of the Twilight (is that the right one?) game that she had borrowed from one of her aunts. I know nothing about that game other than Link is the main character and Zelda will likely be mentioned in it somewhere.
Her response was amusing.
“You mean I have to figure this game out by myself?!”
shrugs I like getting them into vintage games. They are harder and take a little bit more skill than some of the newer games that are gore-free. Most of the kid-friendly games nowadays seem to have built-in cheats that make them easier to move up in levels with less skill. Not that they spend a lot of time on anything electronic anyway, but sometimes they need something a little more challenging when they are playing video games.
Now if only Wii would have “Donkey Kong: Country” available in their Wii Store again.
