I generally don't like some of the Zelda fanbase

Can I ask you to elaborate on this one? I only ask because I have never noticed anything displeasing from them myself.

I've come across so many of them as being elitist dorks. They take pride in saying "CoD is a shitty generic bland series that reuses the same old crap etc" yet the Zelda series has been doing it for the last 25 years.
Or any level of critcism towards the Zelda series(no matter how well constructed) is instantly wiped off with "Go play CoD on your Xbox".
If it's not that, then they generalise the Xbox 360/PS3 as being inferior consoles with crap games despite the fact I've had some of the best gaming experiences ever on the Xbox (Bioshock, Dead Space, Journey, MAss Effect, the insane amount of hours and matches in Street Fighter 4, The Witcher 2, Ni No Kuni etc)
Lastly was when I was saying how I thought Fi was one of the most annoying characters ever, people will blindly defend her or be insulted it by what I say because they can't admit the Zelda series has flaws/bad game choices.

I love Ocarina of Time but if I want to be completely level head, fair, balanced and unbiased about the game, I could pick out problems with it. Not as easily as Skyward Sword but I know of it's few problems. Some (some) of them just come off as smug elitists.

Oh wow. I guess i'm lucky i've never come across that side of the fandom.
And I still agree- Fi is incredibly annoying. All games have flaws, it just takes a true fan (or an open minded one) to admit it.

I haven't come into them often but there are so man I've seen on YouTube comments and forums. It's with anything really. Clingy fandom.

I generally don't understand people who buy games or whatever and never open them. It's just so weird. Yet, I have my Ninja Masters cart for NeoGeo X sealed and I propably won't open it either.

To put it bluntly, people collect stamps, fish, coins, cars and I collect games. I just like having them sealed to then sell on a later price like my Zelda consoles or sealed TP, WW, OoT3D etc. Then give it on to someone else to take care of when I'm dead.

I'm more the kind of person who doesn't like to have stuff just for looks. That's why I collect games, movies and comics. So I can play, watch and read them all I want. Having one just sitting on my shelf feels like defeating the purpose. Yet I still break that one little rule of mine.
The good thing about the Zelda series is they usually have a special edition that'd made for collection (Skyward Sword with it's anniversary edition, or the NES and N64 gold carts) and I wouldn't really want to use the special Zelda consoles when the current 3DS is fine.

Back on topic (whoops).
