Stop stealing our F**king signs - [via]
I don’t swear on Binary Moon but in real life… it’s not unheard of. So I find this absolutely hilarious, especially the other towns of ‘Windpassing’ and ‘W**k on the Lake’ that suffer the same problem.

Especially since I have seen some new screen shots, in particular these gorgeous town scenes with loads of people, and this scene of Link as a wolf in the snow. Come on Nintendo, I know you won’t disappoint me, but I want to play…
