If you’ve ever held a Zelda-themed weekend sleepover with friends, you might have faced the fear of lemonade stains, or any liquid for that matter.

There’s no denying that Nintendo has problems at the moment, as Iwata revealed in their recent financial report.

Do you remember when Nintendo revealed the 2DS? If so, you surely are going to remember as well how half of–if not the whole of–the gaming community made fun of it.

Shack News sat down with Eiji Aonuma and dug for the answer…
Nintendo likes to reward its customers with pre-order exclusives; that’s nothing new, as the latest Zelda games already rewarded loyal fans who pre-ordered their games with WWHD’s figurine and Skyward Sword’s special edition Wii Remote.
