I don’t remember much about my Year 9 school camp. I have vague impressions of stretches of bushland, and another class being made to perform the Nutbush while mine was spared, but the part I remember with the greatest clarity is that the camp ended on May 17, 2002 โ€“ the same day that the Nintendo GameCube launched in Australia.

It’s the easiest Zelda game ever made, but also maybe the most charming, and the cel-shaded visual style still looks gorgeous. As much as I liked the HD version released on the Wii U, a part of me prefers the bolder, brighter colours of the GameCube version.
