After the Nintendo Switch event on Jan. 13, our hype for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is at an all-time high.

We, being two guys who love video games and play them all the time, came up with a few features we hope the newest installment in the legendary franchise includes.

The game comes out on March 3, so it's unlikely that Nintendo will be able to include any of our very good and real ideas in time for release, but we hope that at least a few of these are already in there.

Let us know what you think, and if you know of any job openings at Nintendo.

1. Link is in favor of not repealing the Affordable Care Act.

2. The primary theme music is replaced with Hozier's "Take Me to Church."

3. Zelda is a Republican and Link is a Democrat and when they are reunited they shake hands and say, "I respect your right to exist."

4. You now finally have the choice to compliment somebody on their house.
