Hyrule Town Square

Eh, minor difference, really. They didn't use Legend of Zelda for the Tingle games or Link's Crossbow Training either. Simply means they are spinoffs/side games.

Neither of those are canon games either.

Canon or not, there is an example of a playable Zelda in a Nintendo sanctioned game before this so The Mighty Mollusk's post is both factually and technically correct, The ad doesn't say anything about canon, it simply states "Play as Zelda for the first time". LoZ canon is fluid anyway. Nintendo themselves can't even be bothered to keep a consistent timeline for the games.

From my understanding of the Phillips situation; Nintendo was trying to pull out of letting them play with their toys but things were so far along (production wise, and legal wise) they couldn't stop them. So THOSE games didn't even have the support. Like when you ask someone if you can do something, knowing full well they can't do anything to stop you.

So, if correct, it's another of several reasons why Nintendo is adamant, and correct, about striking down and out any mention, reference, or even existence of those games.

Then you have nerds who insist on "um..... actually" just to show off.

But the fact Nintendo insists on the "Play as the first time as Zelda!" when Hyrule Warriors exist....

Either way, the answer to "Am I a joke to you?" when it comes to that (and the other two CD-i games) is nothing short of a big fat "YES!"
