Because no one in my family attempts to disguise the presents they wrap, I'm pretty sure I'm getting Resistance II. It was the only PS3 game on my list and the wrapped gift is the perfect size.

Ocarina of Time is my favorite game of all time. Majora's Mask isn't too far behind either. Do you have a Wii? If so, you can download Ocarina of Time on the virtual console now.

My family has always disguised my presents in really odd ways. Once they put an Xbox game in this tube container. When I got my Gamecube, they wrapped a blanket around the box, so the present felt fluffy. I still guessed it was a Gamecube though. XD

Better yet, there's a disc for GC that's got Ocarina of Time and Master Quest on it (and some other games, I think), it's not that expensive at all

Something like that, except it just has the original and Master Quest versions of Ocarina of Time. That's the only time Master Quest was released in America though.

Originally you could only get it if you pre-ordered Wind Waker, that's how I got mine, but I think I've seen them sold individually now.

There's also a gamecube disc that has almost all the Zelda games on it up to Majora's Mask. That came in special editions of the Gamecube, you could probably find it on Ebay.

I still have my N64 so I whip that out to play my old Zelda games.

Well, I ended up with Resistance 2 (saw that one coming), Prince of Persia and Mirror's Edge. I'm thinking about trading that one in for Fallout 3 though.

I don't think they were, but you can find them at used game shops all the time.
