Totaly agree.

Also people dont understand that Wind Waker have highest attach rate for any Zelda game after OoT.

 

thats nothing to be proud of when the game was on there worst selling home console(not counting Wii U). People tout this like its a good thing, if anything it just shows how poorly the system sold.

I never understood the attach rate argument for a games success, especially for a game like Zelda who's sales aren't dictated that much by install base. Adventure of Link, Link's Awakening, Link to the Past, Majora's Mask, Oracle of Ages/Seasons, Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, Skyward Sword, A Link Between Worlds all have or will have sold in the 3-5 range on devices with install bases ranging from 20-155 million so install base really isn't that big of a factor when talking about a game like Zelda with a strong and dedicated fanbase.

 

some fans will do anything to make the situation look better than it actually is. Its hilariously pathetic. Im sure the execs arent sitting around saying "but the attach rate is good!" There probably saying "God damn this system is selling like crap!"
