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 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.

In terms of story yea, if that's what you mean but gameplay wise no.

Slash when their open
Sheild when they attack you
Use your newly acquired weapon/item for that dungeon boss
Use your newly acquired weapon/item outside of the dungeon to find new areas
Hookshot is always the same
Tunics have the same properties
Different swords but really only need THE MASTER SWORD
Bosses die after 3 cycles(after you attack the obvious exposed weakness)
and there's so much more

How exactly can you say the Zelda series hasn't been re-using the same gameplay for the last 25 years? That's one of the big points of the Zelda games to familiarise your self with the gameplay from the other games. Not only that but it's the story for the Zelda games that changes. The Zelda games are just as guilt as any CoD game, because that's what the players want.
