Here's the first hints of my next batch. Also when looking at all you guys's hint I really feel like I barely know anything about games .

#40: Probably the coolest special edition I own is the one for this game, it comes with a wooden miniature of an Onager that you could build yourself.
#39: This game features an instrument, which here is just a minor item, but it was used (and so probably retconned) as a major artefact in its (console) successor.
#38: The first in the series to feature naval battles, which is fitting considering the game's imperial era.
#37: Technically just a palet swap of another strategy game, and considering the franchise this is part of, shouldn't they have done more?
#36: A handheld entry in the series which unlike its console brother actually is a numbered sequel.

38.  Empire Total War?

37.  Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle?

36.  Metroid 2?

38 is correct, very good!

37 is not. Though re-reading my own hint "palette swap" isn't really correct anyway, a better word would be "sprite swap". Changing that.

36 is very close. Not Metroid 2 (or the remake), but it can really be only one other.

I feel like the item is an ocarina, and the game is Link's Awakening? Or A Link to the Past? Not sure what the instrument is in ALttP.

Correct! It is A Link to the Past. It could have been Link's Awakening as well I guess, in that game the instrument is actually called 'Ocarina', but in LttP, while the instrument is just called 'Flute', its sprite is a blue Ocarina, exactly like the Ocarina of Time.

Yeah I can't seem to begin to guess most people's games, but to be fair nobody can guess a few of my games as well.

#40 is Age of Empires 2?

#39 is Zelda game? Link's Awakening?

Both incorrect, 39 was close but the answer is A Link to the Past as drbunnig guessed right before you. Age of Empires II actually has something to do with one of those other hints though so that's funny.

And, your list is all JRPG, which is also an extra handicap for me when trying to guess things . I guess a lot depends on what your experience coincidentally wound up being through the years.
