Zelda: OOT Comparison

[Alpha Six]

I don't want to end up having to physically remove my hands from the controls to tap the screen, momentarily stopping me from moving or doing anything that the entire right side of the console controls.

you still had to do this on the original. it was a red button called "pause".

yes, because moving your thumb == taking your entire hand off the controls

Uh, I don't know how big the 3DS is, but I can do that on my DS Lite just fine. In fact, my thumbs can cross each other over the touch screen.

So, what's the problem?
