Zelda was known for being one of the only Nintendo mature games, and now that isn't the case anymore.

I don't consider Zelda a "mature" game. You're a little elf boy in tights [or in some cases kilt style :eek:] whacking chickens with a sword. Sure the games create a great sense of feeling and whatnot but there's still a lot of comical stuff in it. Miyamoto never intended the series to be "mature". Link is a mischievous boy. Always was. Always will be. Going into various houses and smashing the residents' pots and bombing their walls. Seemed like an elf version of Dennis the Menace.
Then again the "mature" games aren't mature anyway. "Dude, let's go shoot zombies, run over people in cars, and save the world from aliens...again." Violence and realisim doesn't have anything to do with the maturity level of a game. It's the subject matter and plot that makes something "mature". Take the anime "Metropolis" for example. You have astroboy looking cute people yet there's polictical scandels, murders, the quest of one's self, how the world is changing, and a look at society in general.
The people I know who play "mature" games have the lowest possible maturity level imaginable. Take the guy who reviewed all the GameCube games in Aza's topic. He seemed like a total idiot.
I forget the actual point I'm trying to make here so let's just say the above is food for thoguht.
