Was this the first ever zelda game--Rapido 20:08, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
- Uh...this was never a Zelda game. This was an old NES game that featured a 2D man-like cartoon that you controlled in a number of minigames. He is a playable character in SSBM and SSBB. —Seablue 20:11, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
- Incorrect, sir.
- The Game & Watch (as the article itself so lovingly states) was a stand-alone system, containing one game. It was a dual-screen system (so a lot of people were confusing it with the DS once the DS had been announced), but there were many of them with Donkey Kong, Mario, and other random games, sometimes single-screen (Manhole, etc.). The Zelda game didn't feature the man we now know as Mr. Game & Watch, but rather Link himself.
- As for the original question, Rapido, in a sense, yes. The Game & Watch Zelda was basically a portable version of the first game, redone with different graphics (old-timey LCD screen graphics) and such. However, the NES game was made BEFORE this. So this was made AFTER the original game, but it's still the same basic game. —Ando (talk) 20:31, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
ok that makes more sense now--Rapido 20:35, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
References
Two sections of this article (Story and Characters) have been copied directly from the user manual, and prefaced with a note declaring as much. As such, it is also possible to reference these quotes with citations (pages 1 and 5 respectively of said manual). Would citing these in the reference list be preferable to, or used in conjunction with, this notice or should it be left as is? Agahnim's Shadow 12:05, 24 September 2012 (EDT)
- Looking at other pages on the wiki, The Legend of Zelda cites the manual in the reference list. Personally, I much prefer what was done on the Zelda II page: an actual plot synopsis along with a "Manual Excerpt" subsection. It feels more professional and less... lazy. Is there enough of a plot to do that here? I'd imagine G&W isn't exactly plot-heavy... — Hylian King [*] 19:12, 25 September 2012 (EDT)
- G&W is not plot-heavy in the least. I suppose I could paraphrase it (after all, it's hardly prize-winning literature anyway) and reference where necessary. Agahnim's Shadow 15:09, 27 September 2012 (EDT)
