A father's wish of a Zelda-playing son comes true

How do you make sure your son is going to be a Legend of Zelda-loving gamer? You feed him as much Zelda as possible until he can actually play a game for himself! Showing your kid Zelda cartoons as he's in his early years, decorating his room with Zelda artwork before he can talk and so on.

All that lead up to that very special day where that son managed to complete The Legend of Zelda, the original NES game, via 3DS. Check out the journey of father and son below.

That feels disturbingly like what some people do to their sons... but with religion.

Regardless, that was a very fun article to read. And, surprisingly, they used an inception joke WITH THE CORRECT DEFINITION OF THE WORD!! *gasp*

Kids are impressionable, who knew?

Also what the hell does "Zelda is the Casey Anthony of video games" EVEN MEAN!? NO REALLY. What an out-there comparison. ._.

Wow. Forcing something like that on your kid, even something as harmless as Zelda, is messed up.

Something inside me kinda feels a bit sickened. It's like shoving drugs down your sons throat :/

I don't see what the big deal is. The kid liked it. But, I think it's cute. Whatever.

Probably varies with the subject. You also have some who just don't like to push ideals so young in a child's life.

Zelda is so important to this guy that it's more important to him than his kid developing his own interest and hobbies and life!

BEST DAD

edit: although wow does this description make the article sound creepier than it is.
