Most likely cited by longtime fans, this limitation of sorts strikes a nerve due to its almost directly contradictory nature to a core aspect what early titles in the series: freedom of choice in exploration.

Nintendo is currently working on getting into the mobile gaming market, and it has a lot of people questioning what that means for their favorite series, including Zelda. The scale of the games, the exact nature of the gamplay possibilities, the controls; everything about the upcoming games, really, could be completely different from what we are used to.

The Zelda franchise has a long history of being incredibly versatile, borrowing disparate elements from many different series such as God of War, Darksiders, and Goof Troop. Lately, however, the franchise has stalled a bit, failing to bring any exciting new elements to the table. But the gaming industry overall has never been more diverse; there are so many series that Zelda can look to for inspiration, and perhaps the most exciting one is Call of Duty.

There is so much fuss about all the newest mobile devices nowadays. Everything is going mobile so it just makes sense that console games would eventually end up on our mobile devices as well. Now, if you own a Kindle Fire, you are able to play at least two Nintendo 64 games on it.
