Dragon Quest 8 did it well, so I can't see how it couldn't work with Zelda. I felt it was definitely missing in Skyward Sword, even though I have still enjoyed the game a lot.
If you really don't want to annoy people, have to option to turn the voice off or something.
I always thought the scene in OoT where you jump over the wall of Lon Lon ranch to escape was pretty awesome. I had a lot of fond memories of that game, but that one was one I remember as something special the first time I played it.
I have lots of good memories of Zelda 2 as well, but that's just more of the 'feeling' and locations of the game, as opposed to a big scene or something.
This is the only Nintendo console I haven't played. I didn't play a whole lot of games a this point in time (except for a little of my brothers PS2), so most of my Gamecube experiences are from playing them on the Wii. Mario Sunshine, Windwaker, and OoT Master Quest are the only ones I've played, and I really enjoyed them.
The controller is great too. It was awesome for Zelda (wish I played the GC version of Twilight Princess) and even better for all the Mario Karts.
There's a few other games I'd like to play, but might have to wait for a re-release or something.
@timp29 - I'm sure he'd be able to afford people to do his chores for him, so his after work hours are free. Then again, he's probably 'working' most of the time anyway.
But yes, I agree with what you're on about. I try and forget about things on the must-do list while I'm playing, but there's always something in the back of my mind telling me that I should be doing something more productive. Stupid mind...

Kid Icarus! Never finished it, so looking forward to it.
Trip Woods looks promising too.

Re: Join Our Mario Kart 7 Communities for Festive Fun!
@Aqueous. Damn, don't have my 3DS on me at the moment. Hopefully another time.
Re: Review: Mighty Switch Force! (3DSWare)
This came out in Aus too, so will definitely be getting this when I'm back from holidays.
Re: Game of the Year: You Decide!
Can't go past Zelda for GotY. Pullblox has been a pleasant suprise too.
Re: Merry Christmas from Nintendo Life!
Hope you all had a Merry Christmas. Still feeling it today...
Re: Review: Tetris (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy)
Want Tetris on my 3DS, and I think this will be the one I'll get. Love that old-school theme.
Re: Join Our Mario Kart 7 Communities for Festive Fun!
I've went on a couple of times but havent seen anybody on there. I'll try a bit more in the new year.
Re: Japanese eShop Gets Picross e Sequel Next Week
More Picross? OK then...

I want that.
Re: 3DS Ambassador GBA Games Out Friday in Europe
Awesome news.
Re: 3DS Ambassador Game Boy Advance Games Revealed
Been wanting to play Minish Cap for a while. Will be nice to play a Fire Emblem game as well.
I can also get rid of 2 of my GBA carts- Yoshi's Island and Wario Land 4. Oh man, Wario Land 4 is awesome.
Re: Nintendo Europe's 2012 3DS Release Schedule Is In
VVVVVV!
Re: Inazuma Eleven 2 Shoots for Europe in 2012
I've got the first game at home, but haven't played it yet. These new 3DS games have gotten me occupied.
Re: Cake Ninja is Fruit Ninja But With Cakes Instead
Must be a lie.
Re: Talking Point: The Overcrowded Holiday Release Schedule
Just means I'll get a lot of them cheaper once I have time next year.
Re: Japanese eShop Takes a Trip to Wario Land Next Week
Would love to play this. Can't remember if I played it back in the day or not.
Re: Aonuma: "We'll See" About Zelda Voice Acting
Dragon Quest 8 did it well, so I can't see how it couldn't work with Zelda. I felt it was definitely missing in Skyward Sword, even though I have still enjoyed the game a lot.
If you really don't want to annoy people, have to option to turn the voice off or something.
It will happen eventually.
Re: Feature: Memorable Zelda Moments
I always thought the scene in OoT where you jump over the wall of Lon Lon ranch to escape was pretty awesome. I had a lot of fond memories of that game, but that one was one I remember as something special the first time I played it.
I have lots of good memories of Zelda 2 as well, but that's just more of the 'feeling' and locations of the game, as opposed to a big scene or something.
And yes, the underwater Hyrule in WW was amazing.
Re: Reggie: Virtual Console on Wii Isn't Dead
I was actually thinking this morning how good it used to be, going into the Wii Shop (& here, of course) to see what the next batch of VC games were.
Now, I cant remember the last time I've gone into the WiiShop to have a look around.
Also, I would love to see those 3 Enix games on VC. I'd snap them up pretty quickly.
Re: Nintendo UK Reconfirms GBA Ambassador Games for This Month
Haha could see this coming...
Re: Rumour: GBA Ambassador Games Delayed to 2012
Haha could see this coming.
Re: Australia Rates Mega Man X2 for Virtual Console
Good news. Never really played X2 and X3, so looking forward to them coming out. Hopefully it also means that X1 isn't too far away either.
You would think...
Re: Vigil Games Talks Darksiders II for Wii U
What Waltz said.
Re: Feature: The Most Bizarre Nintendo Life Search Results
Haha I love these articles. Read through that thread, and it turns out I commented in it. It feels so long ago...
I want to see this dead goat party.

Re: Nintendo Download: 17th November 2011 (Europe)
Nice. Guess I will be playing Kirby tomorrow.
Re: PETA Launches Campaign Against Mario
@IrSasquatch - That's awesome!
Re: Miyamoto Plays Games, a Lot
@timp29 - I'm sure he'd be able to afford people to do his chores for him, so his after work hours are free. Then again, he's probably 'working' most of the time anyway.

Re: Rumour: Limited Edition Zelda 3DS to be Released in North America
I think I might wait for an update with the slide pad built in. And hopefully an update of the Start and Select buttons- proper buttons please!
Re: Super Street Fighter II with Online Coming Westward Too
I forgot there was a Wii Virtual Console.
Re: Feature: How Japanese Folklore Inspired Mario’s Tanooki Suit
Great article.
Re: Feature: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword in Motion
Gee, it must be hard being a reviewer sometimes.
Re: Review: Super Mario 3D Land (3DS)
This game looks like a whole lot of fun.
Re: Zelda Top Brass Discuss Link To the Past in 3D
What would be awesome is an all new 2D Zelda game the style of ALttP.
Re: Review: Halloween: Trick or Treat (DSiWare)
Those kids on the top there look pretty freaky.
Re: Iwata Reveals Big New Improvements for eShop
Multiple downloads, and background downloads please.
Re: First Impressions: Mighty Switch Force
Probably won't come out here.
Re: New Monsters and Weapons Ahoy in Monster Hunter 3 G Video
Do want. Was that a black Deviljho at the end there?
Re: Classic Courses Captured in Mario Kart 7 Stills
That looks good. Wasn't real interested until seeing that.
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th October 2011 (Europe)
Oh well, had a good run for a while. Still got to catch up on the last few VC releases. I just wish they'd put out Mega Man X.
@37 - it'll probably sell because Mario is on the cover.
Re: Review: Wario World (GameCube)
That picture of Wario on the cover freaks me out...
Re: Review: Catrap (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy)
Looking forward to trying this.
Re: Two More Super Mario 3D Land Trailers for You
Looks better every time I see it. Can't wait.
Re: Nicalis Announces VVVVVV for 3DS eShop
Can't wait. Now I might finally get that veni vidi vici trinket...
Then again, maybe not.
Re: Go First-Person in New Mario Kart 7 Trailer
The fire flower power-up looks great. Seems odd looking at it now that it hasn't been thought of before.
