Hey! firstable, Happy new year.

Second, I'm going to disclose a TOP SECRET at Nintendo *SPOILER* Link super glue his hat before he begins any journey.

Come on, it's just a videogame, maybe Shigeru either Eiji have never think about such realism. Imagine they make the hat fall and everytime it does you have to pick it up, you'll spend more time picking up the hat than playing the game itself. I would even make a new game out of that, "who pick-up the hat faster".
