You must have an amazing wife.
Anyway, I just finished my second dungeon, & this is only Day 1. At least I'm enjoying every second of it.

I'll start panicking if my

aren't here by Wednesday :[
Just beat it in Hero Mode. 100%'d it again. In the final boss, I only got hit by those annoying
. It did become more challenging, just wish the dungeons were remixed.

No.

I feel so lonely being the only one who doesn't think this is a great Zelda at all. :-(.
Are people really that happy with a super easy and very short Zelda game? Like, really OVER the moon? Did the standards drop that low?
This Zelda has the bestest music EVER!!! 11/10!
Not that easy for me.....
Either. They're both great. I did Seasons > Ages and it felt pretty good to me.
Am I supposed to catch that thief or just buy the smooth gem back?

Difficulty and quality aren't necessarily linked.
Of course, it'd probably be best to have Hero Mode available from the start from now on.
There is at least one other person who doesn't like ALBW -- BassForever, I think his/her name is. For me, this is the first Zelda since Majora's Mask where I've had to really think to figure out certain things. I also feel like I'm actually exploring, uncovering secrets left and right. It saved this series for me.I feel so lonely being the only one who doesn't think this is a great Zelda at all. :-(.

Thank you. Good to know there isn't a certain order.

I think it is very good but not great. Also, it is about as long as ALTTP... You have to understand that this type of game is much faster paced than the 3D games, so I think it's length is appropriate. As for the difficulty, I feel it is in line with the difficulty of most modern Zelda games... The series has not been known for it's difficulty in decades.
You'll want to catch him. There's a guy close to him that gives a good hint on how to go about it.
I love this speed and precision. They took LTTP and made it arcadey.
I view this game as the Master Quest LTTP should have had 20 years ago. A very enjoyable remix of the classic.
Rupees everywhere! Rupees for everybody!
I have never been this rich in a Zelda game.
There has also been some serious inflation since 1992.
The game is ALOT prettier than website images would suggest.

Well did you?To everyone saying they 100%'ed the game, did you clear all the StreetPass challenges and get the Cucco reward (?) for 999 seconds?
If not, let's say you 99%'ed it.
The brown spot on the left wall can be hookshotted too and then you can merge on to that wall immediately.
If you want a little more input, Seasons has more fighting, and Ages has more puzzles. Ages is generally considered more difficult than Seasons, partially due to the differences in the main conceits. Seasons has a rod that changes the Seasons for an area, so most of the time it's just swapping weather until you can progress past an obstacle that's blocking you. Ages involves traveling between the present and the past and getting stuff done that way. While it doesn't really matter which one you play first, when you finish one, you get a password to input into the other game, which gets you access to certain stronger items eventually, and you also start with an extra heart and the sword if I remember right, so it can make the second game a little easier for you I guess. Granted, I haven't played either in like...10 years or whatever, so perhaps I'm remembering incorrectly
Game is great. I'm really glad Nintendo is just letting this game "be" without the heavy hand holding that have plagued their games in the past generation, especially in Wind Waker. Really refreshing and hope they keep this up. Also, not having a flying fairy telling you stuff every 5 seconds is pretty great too!
Well did you?

I'm doing that but
I just keep slamming against the wall. Am I not pressing A fast enough or something?
edit - nvm, got it literally my first try after posting this. thank you!

(The StreetPass thing is kinda impossible for me right now since I'm in Japan and the game isn't out here until Dec. 26.)

I finally put some more time into this... I'm absolutely terrified of dying and losing all my rentals, so now I've been carefully grinding rupees until I can buy everything and get rid of that fear. :\
Link should stick onto the wall for a half second or so. Merge when he is stuck.
The standard 'indoors' song thats an import from OOT is so fucking jarring. I'm enjoying all this early 90s nostalgia and then all of a sudden I receive the most generic song from OOT through my headphones. The only blemish on a perfect soundtrack.
Also was pissed that the LTTP item sound didn't make the cut.

You got it, but I may as well say you do indeed have to press A faster.
No prob.
I got everything in Hero Mode, so all that is left are those 2 things you've mentioned.Working on it! About to finish on Hero Mode with everything else (including), then it's Cucco city from now until I realize it's probably impossible.the Super Net
StreetPass challenges is kind of a problem since I've mostly been staying at home and studying the past few weeks and seem to forget to bring my 3DS when I go to classes lol. I don't think I will really focus on that.
Now the Cucco Endless thing is what I want to do. I've gotten to 382 seconds so far as my record. I should try more often though.

I've been watching live streams a lot on Twitch lately; I want to see attempts on the 999.
Whaaaa?? So there are still 40 babies out there crying for their mummy and you're just giving up on them? HOW DARE YOU! ;_;
...A little OT but
Eiji Aonuma wants the next Zelda to provide a unique experience that is beyond your expectations
Hopefully they learned some great things from ALBW.

Serves them right for hiding under bushes and clinging onto walls. If they were all just lying on the ground they'd all be safe by now.

I finished it today at 18 hours played with 18 hearts and all the upgrades. It's probably my favorite handheld Zelda, but it's a bit easier than the others.
This guy has a few shortcuts in dungeons that are pretty cool: http://www.twitch.tv/parax0/profile
Woah you beat the whole game without the second slot for items ? I didn't know you could avoid it !
Anyway, at the beginning of the game, when you're in Hyrule, right after the first dungeon (the one where you fight against Yuga and gain the wall merging power), go in the middle parts of the "regular" woods (not the lost ones). It's near your house and the guy with the flower bomb in his garden
You'll meet the blacksmith wife, which tells you she's looking for her son. Go up (one screen above where she tells you this) and you'll find the pouch, which is the second slot (for X button)
The game isn't super easy. I found the challenge level to be at a good level. The dungeons and puzzles weren't difficult but not complete pushovers. The game has much better pacing, but in terms of dungeons and general challenge TP and SS are better. I'm interested to see what they do with the Wii U game.I feel so lonely being the only one who doesn't think this is a great Zelda at all. :-(.

Even Skyward Sword let you make decisions about how to progress in the 3rd act. Then you got NSMBU where you can chose between level and worlds.
Oh shit, I need to get that!
I love how this game will just leave major stuff like this for the player to just stumble upon.
I'll start panicking if myandaren't here by Wednesday :[
I pre-ordered this package from overseas (non-UK EU country) and it said 2-5 work days. They sent it the tuesday before launch, and it arrived the following monday ;_;
I was willing to take the risk, so that's that. However the A0 poster was missing and I emailed them, got a response two days later that says "I can confirm we have sent it, you should be receiving it soon" still nothing. Add me to the list of "fuck GAME"

That's too bad, I was kinda hoping for a traditional experience that met or were somewhat below my expectations

Well excuuuuuuuuse me if he states the obvious!
I remember there was an interview a while back that never got posted where Aonuma was saying that in the next installment he wanted to create a Hyrule nobody had imagined before.
"There are no limitations on what kind of place Hyrule can be, other than that it is a country where Zelda exists as its Princess. We now have many titles in the series, so we are seeing characters and location names from previous titles coming up again. We are using these when it adds to the fun, but there is no rule that we have to use these at all. We may even need to change things you might take for granted like Zelda being a Princess. I would really like the next Hyrule to be a setting no one has ever imagined before."

So what we can gather about Zelda U:
- It will do non-linear stuff in a way similar to ALBW
- It might have some kind of multiplayer component or messaging system ala Tingle Bottles
- Wind Waker HD using sea charts like a GPS map is having an influence on Zelda U
- Hyrule will be very different from in the past.
Just finished this.
Was that the best Zelda since OOT?
It was certainly the one I had the most fun playing. I couldn't put it down. "Just one more dungeon..."
It certainly had the most responsive controls. (60 fps ftw, just a pleasure to play)
It certainly had the best soundtrack. (dat post-Master Sword Hyrule theme)
It was certainly the least annoying. The absence of handholding and the necessity of making decisions was wonderful. Only a lack of item slots grated (2 ain't enough).
If this design sensibility made its way into Zelda U I'd be really happy.

My favorite things about Zelda games have always been exploring the worlds and discovering secrets, as well as fighting the random monsters around. The dungeons interested me only to an extent so I don't mind them being shorter and easier. It's actually nice to be able to get them out of the way so quickly so I can have a new item to explore more areas with.
Also, I much prefer short games now. I'd prefer a Zelda game around eight to ten hours, in all honesty. But one taking me a little over fifteen hours is no big deal.
