I would hardly call a missing question mark, using than in place of then, and forgetting -ing on program in one instance "terrible" grammar. It's the idea that counted here anyways.

While I did enjoy Skyward Sword, I don't believe it was a 'great' Zelda game. Maybe slightly better than Twilight Princess.

Re: I'm at my wits end with this

My recommendation to you would be to download and install winrar or 7zip if you don't have one of those programs. Both are very powerful compression/extraction applications. With one installed, you should be able to right-click on the .zip file and tell it exactly where you want to extract the files...

Perhaps, but you didn't contribute to the world's pollution by buying it in a box, for that shame on you.
