Won an original Link's Awakening Game Boy manual on a Goodwill charity auction. Had to share the nostalgia.

This is something me and my brother always did whenever we collectively bought a new game for our N64/GameCube. I'll never forget snapping that shrink wrap off, popping open the case, and whiffing in the wood-pulpy smell of a freshly-printed, made-with-love Wind Waker manual. It was all ogre when we bought the walkthrough manual; not even my wife smells that good.

Or should I have mentioned Pokemon Stadium...?
