: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. {{:User:Seablue254/sig}} 20:11, 19 July 2008 (UTC) | :Uh...this was never a Zelda game.

::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. | ::The Game & Watch ''(as the '''article itself so lovingly states''')'' was a stand-alone system, containing one game.

::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.

:Looking at other pages on the wiki, [[The Legend of Zelda | :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: The Adventure of Link|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... {{:User:Hylian King/sig}} 19:12, 25 September 2012 (EDT) | ||
