This evening needs more Eurobeat!
@matigo Amen, brother!
If a game maker, particularly Nintendo, makes a new installment in a series, it's often called "milking a franchise". But when they make something completely new, sometimes a brand new franchise, it's instead "too different from the old stuff".
Damned if they do, dammed if they don't.

@matigo Boy howdy is it! You'd "love" the purchasing system we have at my job. It's made by engineers, for aliens, or something. Never before have I had to deal with such an illogical system that has labels and call things by a utterly bizarre terminology, and I've been in IT for quite a few years now. ?
@whoisashygirl I recognize that. Following Ocarina of Time some people found the dark and heavy tone of Majora's Mask to be a bit much, and they also didn't like the time-system. Personally, I love Majora's Mask for those very reasons, so I guess it's a binary thing. Original Nintendo 64 version is pretty solid, but the new 3DS remake is a great refinement on the original.
Skyward Sword is apparently heavy on the motion controls, which gets converted to "Wii gimmicky" in some people's minds, and that's a comment I see all over the place regarding that game. Have yet to play it myself, so I don't know how good or bad it might be. Looks very pretty though.

@matigo Sounds much like the epublishing stuff I've encountered over the years.
@whoisashygirl Link's Awakening is a surprisingly solid entry into the series. Kind of between the style and feel of the original and A Link To the Past on SNES, with really great music. Storyline is a bit kooky, but it's still a good play, I'd say.
Original or DX version, you'll be in for a good adventure and not as short as you might expect of Game Boy game.
