big guy, that's not what I'm talking about. It's all good and fine if that's your personal opinions, but ABF here is not just saying that "to me it sucks", he's acting as if his opinion is the only right one here.
And to respond to your comment about the creator not always being right, that's bullshit. Zelda is something born of the wonderful imagination of Miyamoto, something that is 100% his. Saying that he's not right would be like me saying that Van Gough's paintings aren't right, that they don't fit my vision of what they should be. My vision doesn't mean shit. It's his damn vision, not mine. If Miyamoto wanted to turn Link into a 100-foot lizard creature it would still be right because it's his creation! You could of course argue that he is making games for his fans, but that's not neccessarily true. Miyamoto could have just as easily been a painter or a toy maker or anything else. He continues to make video games because that is his artistic outlet. Now then you could say "well what matters is how well a game sells" and that would be partially true. Nintendo is in the business to make money, but that has never stopped the likes of Miyamoto from doing what they want to do. It just so happens that what he wants, most of us want.
