Zelda fan refrains to play the game for a while

In a recent Reddit post, a Zelda fan shared a personal mission of his. Apparently, the gamer has decided to refrain from playing the latest Tears of the Kingdom title, stating college studies as the reason. If he started playing the Tears of the Kingdom, he would probably get addicted to it. This will in turn result in him getting dropped out of college.

However, the Zelda fan would still be in touch with the series, just not with the latest title. He has opted to play The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on his Nintendo 3DS during the bus travel to the university. Ocarina of Time was a trendsetter in itself when it was launched. This 1998 title was the first game in The Legend of Zelda series with 3D graphics.

Meanwhile, this dedication of the Reddit user has earned the respect of his fellow gamers. They shared their encouragement by commenting on the post.

Fans applaud the commitment of the Reddit user

Gamers are coming forward to support the quest of the Reddit user and offering him words of encouragement. They are hoping he stays in college and gets good grades.

The Reddit user, however, will have to wait for a quite some time. He has given himself the waiting period from this game until December. After that, the Zelda fan can join the rest of the gamers in enjoying and exploring this Nintendo title.
