Why I’ll Always Preorder Zelda, Even Blindly

I’ve been playing The Legend of Zelda for over thirty years, and I plan to continue as long as I’m able to hold a controller. Like Super Mario, it remains popular and successful for good reason. Zelda games consistently rank among the greatest of all time, praised for their innovative design and lasting impact on the video game industry. The series has earned some of the highest review scores ever seen, with several games receiving perfect scores and Ocarina of Time even holding a world record. While those accolades are impressive, Zelda means something more to me personally—which is why I’ll always preorder the latest installment, without hesitation.
