Christmas Eve with Zelda and Link

I’ve always liked my Wii, in spite of not using it as much as I should do. Today we went up town for some last minute Christmas shopping. And I ended up buying a copy of the “swan song” game for this console, which is due for replacement next year with the Wii U.

Watching number one son play the game I was struck by just how good Nintendo are at constructing things like this. Everything works, everything is charming, and pretty much everything has a purpose. Just a great way to spend time.
