Look guys. I am old. I played The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past when it came out 20 years ago, as a young teenager. I was never a big fan of Nintendo or handhelds, but the quicklook of The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds left me captivated. So I spontaniously bought the special edition.

The shop experience was kinda strange, as the store clerk clearly assumed I would buy this for my kids. Anyway. Sadly (and not surprisingly) I am locked to playing games in german. Because companies love to region lock stuff for no reason.

So I am currently downloading Zelda. What next? There do I set up an account or something to put money in? I will be using this mainly on my Christmas trip home. So what are other good games? Fire Emblem: Awakening is on top of my list since I love XCOM. I do not like platformers that much, so I am not sure if I should give good old Mario a spin.
