Part of me just died. Pardon me as I kill the rest.
Well, not really. And yet... I feel a little empty.

Personally though, I think Nintendo should make a timeline, a canon if you will, for the Zelda series. Wouldn't be a bad idea. Heck, the guy's theory even makes pretty good sense.
But, I can see where they're going with this, and it's not bad either. Though it doesn't help their case when they make direct sequels to some of the Zelda games.

All you can really do between the games is pick links (subtle puns ftw) rather than make a specific timeline for all the games.

also nintendo hasn`t put out a TOP OF THE LINE system since the SNES (handhels excluded). The N64 was the beginning of the end, the Gamecube left them limping and the Wii slaughtered their ****; in a fan appreciation way, they`re rich as all ****.

The N64 had some great games, but it was clearly lacking the library the PS1 had, and it WAS a step in the wrong direction.
And name ten must buys on the GC. Not gonna happen.

I'm sure there's more, but I threw in more than 10 because I'm sure there's a number of titles in that list that you'll say aren't good enough to buy.

I can agree with most of your cuts, but I would still consider WW and SMB2 to be must buys as they were both really entertaining games. Same goes for Kirby Air Ride, and most of my friends like it as well, but I can agree that it's not really a must buy.

eg. wind waker and twilight princess both refer back to oot, but they don't fit into a perfect timeline. The games kinda work under the assumption that if it is a single world on a timeline, all these events happen so far apart that they occur in isolation. If the events of a previous game did occur in the same universe, they were so long ago that they have faded into legends about a hero and an embodyment of evil.
That's all they do each game. They create a new hero and new nemesis in the same image and just do something new and inventive with the circumstances of their conflict.
