Technically your missing one game-Four Swords, which was included with “A Link to the Past” on the GBA. Good Luck!
Ohmygodohmygodohmygod!!
THIS IS GOING TO BE EPIC!
Awesome! I can’t wait for this! Good luck!
P.S. I didn’t get the chance to say it, but great job on the Pokemon marathon.
looks good!
but I wanna know one thing… why dont you put the cam-picture in the lower left corner? I believe allmost every zelda game uses the upper left for showing health. I dont know if the lower left is used for anything in any zelda games, though.
anyway… im just being picky. Good job so far! I srsly cant wait!
OMIGOSH! Can’t wait!
If you hear a beeping sound, they’re almost dead. If they die, they obviously died. It’s not going to be like that on their screen, and we don’t really need to see it.
Don’t worry guys, the cam will be put where its’ best. It will probably end up in the lower left hand.
This is gonna be awesome! Good luck for all the players.
omgggg cant wait!

We have not been internally recording the video, however some viewers have taken it upon themselves to capture certain moments. We might do something in the future, however nothing has been planned.
