Turns out not much when you can't properly research something
What happens when you try too hard to be "hip"

The Legend of Zelda series is Nintendos best-selling video game franchise enjoyed by more than two generations of gamers. The action-adventure game was released in 1986, only one year after Nintendos founding in 1985.

Wow, only one year after getting founded? That's even more impressive than Apple releasing the iPod only 3 years after they were founded!

Honestly a thread that deserves the posts from accidental gaming side thread creations.
What a joke.

Chumly · Aug 24, 2017

Honestly I thought the OP created a dumb thread title. I cannot believe someone from the GOP thought it was a good idea to put that on their website

YaBish · Aug 24, 2017

Dumbass bunch of clowns who can't even be bothered to hire interns capable of two seconds of fact-checking.

Simon Belmont · Aug 24, 2017

The hilarious thing to me isn't that it isn't fact checked, it's that it's fact checked so poorly. Nintendo of America was founded in 1985, but Zelda released in Japan in 86, and in America in 87.

So some details, but they're either mixed or flat out wrong. In two sentences.

Dishwalla · Aug 24, 2017

Funny, could've sworn I remember playing Donkey Kong by some company named Nintendo in 1982. Wonder if they are related?

What's one thing that the House GOP's platform and Ganondorf have in common?

They both deserve to be buried and forgotten at the bottom of the ocean.

DecoReturns · Aug 24, 2017

Nintendo is older then that.

Poor Zelda tho lol

Aaronrules380 · Aug 24, 2017

Guys I've cracked the code on what these two have in common: The republicans don't have a clue about what they're talking about with both subjects

How do you do fellow kids

Embarassing. OH WOW SOMETHING HAPPENED IN THE SAME YEAR. BUT WAIT, NOT ACTUALLY. BECAUSE WE GOT THE YEARS WRONG. *facepalm*

What do Fire Emblem and racial profiling have in common?

What do Elite Beat Agents and trickle-down economics have in common?

Did you know that Doki Doki Panic was originally brought over to North America as "Voter ID laws"?

In Super Mario Bros 2, Birdo wants to use the same bathroom AS YOUR KIDS, which is why Mario killed her repeatedly!

Where would they even get that info?

Iolo · Aug 24, 2017

I assume it's that both were developed by large corporations to make them huge profits

I mean, the article is still up so who cares about the tweet. It's the ratio that would have been the goodness, and it didn't even get that far.

Mozendo · Aug 24, 2017

At least they didn't say it's an Action RPG

Spaced Harrier · Aug 24, 2017

Ah, I misread, I thought they took the whole thing down

CazTGG · Aug 24, 2017

Wait, I get the connection: Zelda 1 had a dungeon in the shape of a swastika and the GOP's head is a Nazi-defending white supremacist.

Shaanyboi · Aug 24, 2017

Christ, Republicans really can't do shit
