E3 2016: 4 Ups & 7 Downs From Nintendo's Treehouse
4. Bill Trinen Forgets To Turn The Zelda Demo Timer Off

Even when it finally came to the extended Zelda gameplay demonstration, Nintendo couldn't quite get it right. Nintendo of America's Senior Product Marketing Manager Bill Trinen forgot to turn off the 20-minute demo timer intended for people playing it on the show floor, resulting in a "Thank you for playing!" screen shutting down gameplay after those 20 minutes.
Cue Bill and the other presenters awkwardly having to kill time while he once again rushes through the opening of the game and tries to get back to where he was.
It really just underlined how utterly, ridiculously amateur Nintendo's livestream came across this year on the whole, but at least Trinen, who was probably crapping himself on the inside, took it in his stride.
