Pretty sure you pronounce it N. E. S. not Nes and S. N. E. S. not s-nes. Of course back then people just called it Nintendo and Super Nintendo.

Easily the best zelda game ever.

What does Jeff's shirt say? The video is old and poor quality, but it looks like the shirt says "Your momma is my business" or "Your money is my business". Jeff was so mellow in these GBA reviews. Looks like he wants to go back to bed.

I had this game, but I don't know where my copy went. :( I miss this game. It's one of the greatest games ever made, though Ocarina of Time is better.

To jmalo1 Yup it's a load of fun but it is kinda short with only 3 levels Althought you might want to finish it more than once because you can have a diferrent last dungeon depending on how well you did in the levels. And if you want challenge, you'll finish it just once to unlock the four swords dungeon in a link to the past.(the hardest dungeon ever!)
