56k nothin'! I had the XBand in all it's 28.8 glory, and playing Killer Instinct had zero lag on a regular basis, with the exception of a few matches here and there. Mario Kart is a game I didn't get the chance to use my XBand with while the service was still around, but from what I hear it was lag free too, and FUN.
Well, yeah Link's a child here in WW, but I guess ya never know with the next one. Usually Link is always a child who is adult or at least late teen in the sequal. Like for instance, Zelda 1, he was like 12 or so, at least around there when you look at the instruction booklet illustrations (in all their robotech, original Gundam, Speed Racer, Lupin the 3rd quality graphical glory :D, but at least it's not GIGANTOR, who by the way would have it's arse handed to it by The Iron Giant). Zelda II, he's 16, and of course you can tell both by the fact that the instruction booklet specifically states his age and the fact that his sprite is proportioned like an adult (plus it's the only reason he'd be teenaged in both of the cartoons he appeared in during the 80's). LTTP, well he's said to be a kid, but from the booklet illustrations he appears to be more teenage. I suppose he's a young teen, like 13. Link's Awakening, if you believe this Link is in fact LTTP's Link, is in fact a few years older from his journeying. Link in OOT seemed to be around 10 or 11, and adult form was certainly the oldest he's ever been, at 17 or 18. Then I assume in MM he was like 13 or so (his model was even changed for that game). Now with WW, I think he looks mostly like an 11 year old (if you take into account the graphical style anyway) with the arms of a 20 year old orangutan. Eh, wow I have no idea why I just listed his apparent age in each Zelda game... I guess it's just weird that Miyamoto was once quoted as saying Link has been a child in each and every Zelda game and OOT was the exception, when clearly that's not the case. I guess that may have been a mistranslation, as I think it's just that each and every LINK has first appeared as a child, but it seems they all become older by the sequal (though in the case of MM, only older by a few years).

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
