I like the idea of having a big open world but sailing on the sea in order to collect some stuff was absolutely boring!!! that´s why I never finished it but I give it a try sometime. still a very good game imo.
So who's getting this then? $69.99 for the wiimote+ bundle. I'm sure we'll get this in Europe, but nothing's been announced so far.
the first zelda game i played was OOT on PC (UltraHLE + Voodoo2) in ~2001 it was different from the games i usually played and it took some time to adjust but overall i quite liked it. soon as i had enough money i bought a n64 and oot and finished it again. Majora's Mask i couldn't get into because of the stupid time limit. I didn't mind Wind Waker (not walker ffs, why do so many people call it that) at all. Sure the sailing was tedious sometimes but the graphics were amazing. Finished both Master Quest and Ocarina of Time on GC as well. Minish Cap for the GBA was great. Love the multiplayer in Four Sword Adventures on Gamecube. Twilight Princess was so much better on GC, not big on the Wii controls. I did go back and play A Link to the Past and finished it, probably one of the best games in the series, shame i wasn't in a position to play back in the day. Secret of Mana i still my favourite Snes rpg though. Don't own a 3DS yet, nothing much out there at the moment but i did preorder OOT. Will have to go back and finish the NES and GBx versions, i hear they're great.
OMG Metroid is Space Zelda! Is that official cannon? I mean Samus has yellow hair like Princess Zelda and all, so I could see it happen. Someone needs to update Wikipedia.
Tried to play Phantom Hourglass the other day, I cannot stand using a stylus to move Link around. Maybe I'll get drunk enough one night to love it but otherwise it seems like a perfectly good waste of a game because of the shoehorning of DS features. Kirby's Canvas Curse on the other hand made great use of the stylus.
I hear you. I loved the graphic style, but making him follow the stylus as well as drawing the path of the boomerang >< N really forced the touch aspects of that.
OK so I'm up to the shadow world in TP... and it's really made me think... in my opinion this is the absolute worst of the console Zelda games Nintendo has made. I just wanted to say it publicly. The other games, even the ones that I had a problem with or that I don't understand others fascination with (Oot, I'm looking at you) I had a good time playing. They were a joy to play. TP... it's a pain in the ass. It's reached the point where I've invested enough time in it that I'm going to finish it, but I will never ever come back to it again and I will not speak kindly of it in mixed company. I'll give you my personal ranking of Zelda console games here in a second, but I think one of the things that's dogging Zelda games is this: there's no sense of pacing. Here is is, the end of the kingdom, and there's a chicken asking me if I want to play a game and count cats. WTF. There's no sense of urgency in Zelda games. No sense that the world is going it end. Hell, take time off and go fishing and catch bugs. Gannon will wait. Pacing. Nintendo. Work on it. Here's the top Zelda games IMHO: Zelda II: Link's Advanture Zelda: Link to the Past The Legend of Zelda Zelda Wind Walker Zelda Oop Zelda TP
I have Hour Glass for the DS as well, but I had to stop playing it. I was getting Link what I wanted to do with the damn stylus, keep wanting to use the control pad. :banghead: Not to mention I was getting tired of returning to the same damn dudgeon with a time limit! =hugh
