Pretty sure it has three save slots.
Maybe this can tide you over.
Agahnim is pretty much just Ganon spelled differently. It's sort of silly on the level of Lorule.
Not really. In Japanese, the spelling of his name (アグニム
has nothing to do with Ganon.Thank you!
Finished it earlier tonight. Wrote a few comments on my Twitter, so I'll just paste 'em here:
- Finished #ALBW. My favorite Zelda since Majora's Mask, maaaaybe since ALTTP. So, so good. Post-clear playtime:
- Lots of powerful nostalgia for peeps who played ALTTP, and of course much of it comes from the music, which was just phenomenal.
- I wouldn't give it a 10, but prolly a 9 or 9.5. Big steps in the right direction with regard to (lack of) hand-holding and linearity.
- Dungeons could've been a little longer, I think. Or just give us more of 'em in exchange for them not being quite as large.
- This guy is listed in the credits as the composer, BTW. Dude deserves a medal: http://www.mariowiki.com/Ryo_Nagamatsu

I kinda share the same opinion. I liked it better than ALTTP.
But alttp2 is in the fallen hero timeline which is completely unrelated to MM, obviously the skull kid never got his hands on Majora's Mask in this timeline, don't see how it ruins it.

Oh man this post isn't helping my hype. Glad to hear you enjoyed it a lot.

Better than Majora's Mask? Oh no, hype spiraling out of control...
Guess what other Zelda game had Mario paintings.
And ALBW takes place in a different timeline from the one MM took place in. That info has no impact on timelines.

Why did I open this thread... November 22nd seems so fucking far away now.
Nope, probably 95% though. I was pretty thorough. If you want to know specifics (warning: spoilers):
I'm missing 5 heart pieces, one item that I know of (somehow I went the entire game without ever getting the Net...WTF), and the hardest level of a couple of the mini-games to clear. Will point out, too, that I never used the fortune-teller for anything, nor did I ask any media or NOA friends for help!
BTW, re: Majora's Mask in Link's house -
there's no real story reason for it to be there that I know of. I see two reasons for it to exist:
1. If you merge into the wall and stand behind it, it's perfectly placed to look like Link is wearing it. (In other words, the devs were just having some fun.)
2. Since it's got no real story value, seems to me like it very well could just be a hint at the next remake, no? Hope so, anyway.

Dude, there is not a way you could have put it that would have made me more hyped. I'm trying to keep my expectations low given my feelings on the franchise in recent years, but the way you frame it is difficult to ignore. Those are my two favorites, and imo they put everything post-MM to shame. Now I have to wait until next Friday to play, and balance it against Super Mario 3D Land. WHHHHHYYYYYY????

Yeah, Nintendo Land's sound work is a piece of art.
He did not say that at all. This is how dumb rumors start.
And that answer is "maybe"

Pretty sure he did say that, actually.

Calling it now:
MM3D - Summer/Fall 2014
Zelda U - Winter 2014/Spring 2015

You have to differentiate between what you want to hear, what you heard, what was said and what he could have also meant to say before it went through the interpreter.
I would like to know whether it's a secret worth chasing (NSMB2 million coins hurr durr).
I didn't even plan on picking this up, but given the impressions, I just might.
I have a bit of a problem getting through 2D-style Zeldas for some reason, but at the request of a friend, I think I'm just going to power through A Link to the Past.
What version would be best to go through and how long would it take?

What do you mean by "version?" There are no different "versions" of it (no need to bring up the GBA port with Four Swords since that is the exact same game with extra content hardly anybody will ever see due to the multiplayer requirement for FS)
Oh lawd. Also now that you've reminded me, I still want a proper Zelda game with the Zelda Battle Quest aesthetic!
Yeah, I was mostly referring to the GBA port since I played that very briefly some years ago, but I didn't know exactly what new content was in it.

I would feast upon the reactions if Zelda U had that art-style.
A new temple + move (Hurricane Spin), but only if you completed the included Four Swords. Which I never got to because boo multi-cart.
Got it yesterday at Fnac. Seems everyone is seliing it one week early in France.
The beginning might be one of my new favourite Zelda beginnings.
The game looks amazing in 3D and dare I say it, has more charm than ALTTP.
The characters are more alive and full of personality. Ocarina Of Time characterization with ALTTP structure basically.

Well I would guess that
it was given to Link's family for safe keeping by the Happy Mask salesman. I know it isn't the same timeline as MM but the salesman is a mysterious guy and he might have somehow known that there is no safer place for such a powerful relic then with Link.
Small spoiler about music.

Thanks for the info! 24 hrs for 95% or so seems like a reasonable play time. In terms of 3DS games, I felt like LM: DM was a reasonably long adventure and that was 20 hrs or so.
From what I remember for the Gamestop one at least, it will print out on your receipt when you pick it up in store, so I imagine you will get an online one emailed at release.

Yes the download code will be on your receipt when you pick up your game.
Oh yes!
