okay so why am I having such a fucking sad over not having a game system capable of playing anything Legend of Zelda? I haven't played anything Zelda since I was nineteen, okay, and that was on a borrowed game system, I have never owned a game system unless we count 'desktop computer' under 'game system', I have not got the money for a game system now and it is so not on the priorities list (especially since I'd need several different game systems to play all the different versions, I'm sure), and I'm pretty sure no desktop can legally play any Zelda...

come on, self, get in gear, you owe your sister's bridal party five pendants and possibly matching earrings and you really ought to have them finished before the bachelorette party tonight...

Desktops can't legally play Zelda, unless you own the game and are using a backup rom--at least, that's pretty much the scenario for cartridge-based systems. I don't know about CD or DVD-based ones!

I don't think there are CD- or DVD-based Zelda games. But yeah.

There was one, but it is not spoken of and the system it was for has long since been discontinued.

In any case, using an object such as Dolphin and proper discs for Wii could make legal Zelda gaming possible on a desktop.

I don't know what that means.

The Retron5 will let you play the cartridge Zeldas and has a chip slot for roms of the others.

Ooh. Okay. :)

Still spendy, though. :(

A bit, yeah. But if you still have the games, it is definitely worth it for some people.
