I'm LOVING this game omg...I hated it when I first saw it though but man was I wrong.
haha, glad I wasn't the only one. It's weird because I always check for it before warping out, must be because I played the dungeon at full speed

I so want to join the party here but can't get to dat eshop. At least the Zelda XL looks sexy.
I forgot that you had to download the game. Yikes. Christmas ruined.

I'm not finished yet, but are many people of the opinion that, outside the 100% goal and hero mode, there's no real reason to replay this and probably worth trading in?
Just finished the game.
Now, I have to think of other reasons to keep the 3DS. Feel like this was a one and done.
Super Mario 3D Land
New Super Mario Bros. 2
Fire Emblem: Awakening
Mario Kart 7
Zelda: OOT 3D
VC titles if you like Zelda: Link's Awakening DX, Oracle of Ages/Seasons,etc
What reason is there to replay any other game after you 100% it on hardest difficulty? I mean......
It's like any other Zelda game in that regard. The streetpass stuff is alright and I don't think the non-linear aspect of the game doesn't really help the replay value. Since you can just buy every item so easily, each dungeon is effectively isolated and standalone rather than really influenced by your past choices.

What the fuck?
How about for the fun of it?
Just finished the game after 26 hous. So great 
Never saw the ending coming
Just one question, does anybody knows the name of th song, that played while
Anyway, I am really happy that I bought some weeks ago a SNES with A Link To The Past, so could start now with the predecessor^^

Zelda gave Link the light arrows in the final battle? I think I heard it before in Twilight Princess but I am not aware of its name and it would be great, if I could listen again to it ^^

But it uses the same world map from LTTP?! How can it be a GOTY contender?!
/s
I'm on my second play through. Still great.
This is the second 3DS I've purchased. First one I had Luigi's Mansion, Mario Kart, and Mario 3D land. Really didn't get into it.
This time I got the Zelda model just for that game, but there really isn't anything else on the horizon.
Still one of the best games I've played in a few years. Best Zelda game for me since the N64.
If you like jrpgs and dungeon crawlers there's a lot of games to play, if not might as well sell it back.
Yeah, I'm likely going to head back to the store in a little bit.
I did the same thing with the PSP. In the end, I bought/returned eight of them. Would always pick up for a particular game and end up bringing it back or trading it in.
Just not a huge fan of handhelds any longer I guess.
Zelda did a fantastic job on the 3D though. I haven't been impressed with it once prior. Read somewhere the 60fps helped achieve that effect.

i actually looked back at the announcement thread and i'm amazed at that one dude insisting that this game would be a complete defilement of lttp with tons of padding and tutorials and companions

You can't think of a single other 3DS game you want to play? O_O
At the moment, no. I'll probably get excited for something when PAX East rolls around again.
Let's not derail the thread

it's pretty amazing how... alive hyrule and lorule are in this game. it doesn't feel like past zelda games where it's basically just one or two "islands" of people who seem to be completely cut off and ignorant of the world outside of their village screen. despite the lack of tutorials and exposition, this game is dense with npcs to talk to
I do lately. I just know this sexy looking gold handheld is going to sit around and collect dust for a while. I purchased it for strictly nostalgic reasons, and was thrilled the game didn't simply rely on those tactics. Game was absolutely everything I would have wanted in a Zelda title and the only one in years which has delivered this strongly.
As for OOT:3DS, I've only played it for brief periods of time. I revisited it not too long ago on the Gamecube though.
Maybe for you. The nostalgia factor wore off well before that for me. The door was sealed once I reached the final dungeon.

I can't believe I missed out
until I beat the game.
Loved every second of it.
I need more goddamn.

The
is kicking my ass, any advice? This is only the third Lorule dungeon I've done, after
and I just can't do anything against this guy.
Desert boss
the Thieves Den and the Turtle Rock or whatever
I can't dodge his little flying dudes and his sand beam effectively at the same time, and the collapsing sand bridges keep trapping me in bad positions where I have to make a new one into a dangerous position

I basically feel like this guy after completing it.
Game was way too easy. The dungeons need to be a lot harder, as well as the bosses.
If it's the one on the second floor in the middle then
you get into it using a flipping wall. In the room south of it with the switches that raise the platforms the southern most switch will also flip the wall between the two rooms.
The people in this thread convinced me to get this game for Christmas. Unfortunately I went to Canada with family for the holidays and my 3DS charger didn't work.
However I just got one from the lost and found in the hotel, and can play the game one day late! Just started the first five minutes - initial impression: I didn't believe people in this thread, but it really does look so much better in motion and in 3d. It still looks horrible in 2D though. Music is already good, but Link's character model is horrible, lol.
Can't wait to get stuck in.

You have a couple options. Upgrade the sand rod if you haven't. Also don't try and dodge the flying things, just kill them with your sword. You can also go to the the water dungeon and get its item which will help
blue tunic halves the damage you take
heh same here. It was pretty much a race to the last heart container

I finished most bosses on the last heart, but I rarely if ever brought healing items with me.

Hm, okay.
The one complaint I have about this game so far is that its the only game where I've felt that the Circle Pad was imprecise. I had trouble with the
Turtle Rock

hmm..well, upgrading the bow would also help, you can

That was the only puzzle in the game that I spoiled for myself. I don't think I'd ever have gotten it on my own.
Easily best puzzle in the game. Don't spoil yourself on it, just keep looking for signs or otherwise conspicuous elements in the room.
I never, ever bought a potion from the witch. i just used to sell all the monster parts for hard money, which i ultimately didn't even need
I always saw charm in the art style, but I was nonetheless really taken aback by how much better the game looks in 3D and in motion. You're in for an amazing ride. I beat the game in three days (I had good reason to rush through it!), and I seriously can't wait to jump back in and try out Hero Mode. The look is far from the only thing that totally surpassed my already relatively high expectations.
I rushed through the dungeon and ended up missing that chest. Ended up re-exploring various dungeons for missed chests, and yeah, it took me a minute to figure out how to get that one.
