Never thought I'd be the proud owner of a 3DS. Yeah I said it, proud.

I recently got a Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Limited Edition 3DS, mainly for looks to be honest but also thought it was time for me to get it. I mean I was going to get it eventually when the new Kingdom Hearts came out but the amazing new look made me love it.

Well I'm going to start off by saying how great the system feels. This edition is slightly shorter in horizontal length than the other 3DSs (very small difference) and I just thought it looked way smaller than it did in videos/pictures online. I always laughed at people that decided to play 3DS games without 3D set on but to be honest my experience with Ocarina of Time has been mainly in 2D. The 3D is nice and all but I feel like it kinda detracts from the experience, I just don't like the fact that I'm stuck in one point of view and can't really move around in case I lose the 3D-"effect".

I paid 200$ for the system and have already spent around 20 hours on it. Pretty satisfied with the battery life when not using the 3D, however when turned on the battery drains so fast! I had read that to fully charge a 3DS back it'd take around 3 hours? Wasn't the case for me, happened in like 1 hour but still bothersome when really into a dungeon or something.

Furthermore, the 3DS has a lot of promised software due in early December that I can't judge just yet but really looking forward to it. I've only downloaded one game from the DS store (Zelda Four Swords because it was free) but looking forward to download a lot more games when the classics really start rolling out. Already have my eyes on "Link's Awakening", just waiting to finish Ocarina of Time first and then maybe purchase Super Mario 3D Land.

Anyways, I don't think I'll regret my purchase until I finish all the games I still have to play on this system. A few more RPGs, maybe a Pokemon or another Zelda will definitely make this system a must-buy. Until then I'm happy with OoT and SML 3D. I feel like I'm only going to be using this system for a total of 10 games in its lifestyle while the Vita will be my go to for games that come cross-handheld.

Would I recommend a 3DS? Only if you have the money to spare and are a big Nintendo fan. Can't wait to spend more time on it!
