I realized that I played The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening a little later than I could have.

I found out that The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening was first released on August 2nd in 1993. Later that week, I went on a vacation to Florida and I wanted a new video game to take with me. So I chose Kirby's Dream Land, not knowing I could have gotten Link's Awakening. So now I'm kicking myself for that. I made my decision based on the Game Boy games list in the Top 20 section of the latest Nintendo Power magazine. I already owned the top two games, the third game was Metroid II and I wasn't up for Metroid at the time, and Kirby's Dream Land was number 4. (Link's Awakening happened to be number 5 by the way.) Now Kirby's Dream Land isn't a bad game. It's just short. I actually finished the game on THE MORNING I FLEW DOWN. Link's Awakening would have kept me busy throughout my whole vacation, and I still wouldn't have been finished with it even by the time I came back. For the record, I even went and sold my copy of Kirby's Dream Land two months ago.

Talk about a missed opportunity.
