My mom only plays the portable games. I mean, she never minds going through Minish Cap, Spirit Tracks or Phantom Hourglass (the only Zelda games she's not afraid of playing for some reason...) but used to shake at the mention of OoT. She only played Wind Waker, as far as I can remember, but she never finished the main quest, only got far enough to get all the heart pieces and complete pretty much every side quest except the figurines. Seriously, she always seemed to like the exploring aspect better.
She has a monthly habit of 100-ing the games I mentioned. Funny that the console games always seemd to scare the heck out of her, though...no, wait, she also fonished both quests in the classic nes series edition of Legend of Zelda for some reason.
So, yeah, my mom kinda italks Zelda. She's finished some of the games but always forgets the names of the characters.
