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.

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.
You found the bad side of the fan base, because most people that are part of the Legend of Zelda fan base will usually talk about flaws and mistakes in any LoZ game and most will say whether a game is bad or whether a certain character is annoying as shit or not.
As I said before, it's only some, but they're just as bad any other crazy fandom-base I've ever come across. This goes for everything, but(some of) the Zelda fanbase can seriously pride themselves.
More:
Even though I really started to hate Capcom, I've still given them the most money and play the majority of their games.
I miss the old days of local multiplayer :(
Same with Xannidel, I don't sport/racers but the only exceptions are he fun version such as Mario Smash Football, Burnout, Mario Kart. I hate Forza/Gran Turismo(but don't consider it to be a bad series in anyway)...just boring as hell
I enjoy extremely difficult/high execution games
I'd rather be playing games that "socialising"(as in getting drunk and posting it on Facebook) but prefer to be around gamers/same culture type.
I did the first pick pocket mission in Assassins Creed 1 and never went back to the series. Really no into that series(but like Forza, I think it's a solid game).
