Re: What made you feel giddy today?
I went to GameStop today and purchased The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD for the Wii U, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection for the PlayStation 4, and a Wii U Pro Controller - Black (although I'm not trying to brag about my purchase). Oh, and I preordered Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse.
What made me feel giddy about this was the waves of nostalgia and euphoria I felt while playing Twilight Princess after not having played the game in so long. Heh... I must say, no matter how many great games come out (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Fallout 4, Dragon's Dogma, Dark Souls III, and so on) nor how many great games will come out in the future (Persona 5, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, Cyberpunk 2077, Pokemon Sun & Moon, and so on) I must say that The Legend of Zelda series always strikes an epic note with me. I can still fondly remember the days I used to play The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on my Nintendo 64, as well as The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Ah... I loved and still love the Legend of Zelda series to this day that when I was in high school I decided to make the Fierce Deity's Mask as a project for drama/theater class. Those were good times indeed.
Long story short for anyone who thought this post was tl;dr, what makes me feel giddy is the influx of happy memories and emotions I get from the nostalgia that the HD upgrades of The Legend of Zelda games can provide. I sincerely hope that The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword one day gets the same treatment.
