My 4 year old son can’t read yet. But don’t try to tell him that. He will play Nintendo games until he falls asleep. That means he’d play sun up to sun down if we’d allow it which sometimes happens when his mom takes a trip to Utah.
But that fact is that our son loves games. And he especially loves the Zelda games. He’ll play Zelda: Ocarina of Time on the N64 for a while. Then he’ll move to the Gamecube and jump from Windwaker to Twilight Princess. I don’t see how he can keep track of them all. But if you ask him where he is in any of the the games, he’ll give you a detailed description such as, “I’m in the forest cave where there’s lava and I need to get two more keys and free one more monkey before I fight the spider”. That’s just the type of kid that he is.
But when he gets stuck he will ask Kim or me to pull out the strategy guides and help him get through. Most of the time I can’t make out where he is in relation to the guide so I’m of dubious help. But he’ll open the books, look at the pictures and figure out the way through the levels at an amazing pace for a little guy.
