I know what you mean about how protective Nintendo is. I have watched them shut down projects quickly, let others get near completion, and all forms in between over the years.
Sadly, they are probably too protective. I know even making videos with predominently Nintendo published games on YouTube will result in Nintendo copyright claiming and taking at least part of the revenue earned from the video.
I need to check out Bloodborne. I agree with you about A Link to the Past, that was an amazing title. I grabbed a used 3DS and a copy of that 3DS follow up Nintendo released (I picked it up for $5 new at Walmart - grabbed 2 extra copies of the 8 they had in stock and flipped those on eBay, paying for the 3DS I bought).
