It emphasizes the intimate connection people have with beloved Nintendo franchises like Zelda and Pokémon, making the case that these cultural touchstones will only gain value with time. A blurb about Zelda on the Otis app explains that it "is one of Nintendo's most prominent and successful franchises. Its success is in part attributed to the series' consistent release cycle that's covered every generation of Nintendo devices, thereby cementing its relevance." Otis says that the success of 2017's Breath of the Wild will "likely bring in demand for this franchise's memorabilia."
