    What's interesting is that I think a lot of placements on this list would be a lot different if you started the timer when you were able to control Link instead of when you started the game.

    I think that rain may fulfill the letter of the requirement but perhaps not its spirit. "Touching water" usually means "touching a body of water " (such as a puddle, river or lake). If you wanted to be super-technical, there's moisture in the air so that's automatically "touching water", but it's not in the spirit of the challenge.

    I bought a WiiU after the Switch came out. My rationale was there was nothing out for the Switch except for Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey because this was the initial slow period before Nintendo ported everything from WiiU to Switch. It just didn't make good financial sense at the time.
    So when I got my WiiU, I got BotW, Bayonetta, Mario Kart, Mario 3D World, the two Zelda remasters, along with some Wii games like Mario Galaxy and New SMB (since I skipped the Wii generation), and a few other games. It was a good haul. Most of the games were used and really cheap by then. I had a ton of fun with it and got my money's worth.
    I didn't upgrade to the Switch until late 2019 when Octopath Traveler came out (and I didn't have to deal with scalpers). While I no longer have my WiiU, I still believe that it was a good financial decision to get the WiiU for the first year of the Switch lifespan.
