How long does it take to charge a new 3DSXL out of the box? How long does it take to download the game on a decent connection?

 

[pringles]

But it increases the resell value of your console - but anyway, why would you ever want to sell the console/game? I want to hold onto mine till I'm an old man and pass it down to my kids or nephews.

This! So glad I still have my DS lite, dusted it off and have been blasting through GBA LTTP this week. Handhelds are so easy to hang on to.

I belive mine took about 3-4 hours to charge. Games don't seem to take to long, I downloaded AC New Leaf in under a hour.

Usually 3DS units have about half a charge, so a few hours for it to fully charge I guess? Typically it'll be faster if you have a decent connection!

 

[Robin64]

How odd, when did you all pre-order?

Like a month ago.

...anyone know of any stores that will sell this to me tonight? A Tesco maybe?

 

[BGBW]

Guess I wasn't lucky with the post this time. Hopefully tomorrow

But then again the post I got for a house two doors down doesn't fill me confidence. If a neighbour has my game because of this shoddy new postal service…

………

…well it will be TNT for TNT.

 

[RE lover]

I've just finished the game, took me 3 days. Now I'm trying to complete it 100%. I must say I think it was too easy. I guess this is because I've played ALTTP so many times that I knew where should I go almost all the time. Still awesome game, my favourite dungeon is the ice one (which I played last in my run)

BUT... I can't believe I haven't found

Spoiler

the pegasus boots

yet lol... been searching like a crazy man but there's something I'm clearly missing... anyone found it yet?

 

[Seda]

I was able to get Amazon.com to change my order to release date shipping (no charge). Should have it by the end of the say tomorrow, at least.

Good luck getting past the chaos that will be the Xbone launch.

 

[Ein Bear]

In the same boat. Guys! Seriously, what!

Same here. My copy still hasn't shipped.

And the same thing happened to me with Wind Waker HD, which was the very first time ShopTo didn't get a game to me a day early. ShopTo seem to be cursed with Zelda games :S

Use the wall to sneak behind the shady guy in Kakariko who runs away when you approach him. It's the same guy who stole the Zora Queen's stone.

 

[antennaehead]

I can't help it - every time I enter this thread, Another Brick in the Wall starts playing in my head!
Couple of hours left!

Spoiler

really?? I thought you needed the boots precisely to catch him! Now that's one difference from ALTTP lol

thanks for the quick response guys!

Oh BTW I think the fire rod is waaaay too overpowered in this game,

Spoiler

specially once you have it upgraded!

But still so much fun to use it, might become one of my favourite zelda items

I wish. More like a little over 22 hours left for me.

Too long .__.

 

[pulsemyne]

Oh my word is this good stuff. Just spent a couple of hours with it. The wall/Painting stuff is fantastic.

 

[Deleted member 8095]

I've been on a media blackout on this game basically since it was announced. Can't wait to pick it up with Mario 3D World tomorrow! Thank you Best Buy for giving me $100 for a 20GB launch PS3!

 

[robotzombie]

I can't believe all of my usual spots have failed me.

Hopefully this will be easy enough to grab tomorrow from target or whatever

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Too long .__.

You can play while charging. And actually the screen is super-bright when you do

 

[Nosgoroth]

Got it! And by "it" I mean the 3DS XL LE~~!

Now, I suppose I can transfer without it registering on Club Nintendo, right? Because I'd need to wait until the end of the month to register it and qualify for the free SM3DL code. Now, I'm not going to wait to redeem the Zelda ALBW code, but Bravely Default will qualify me anyway.

Now to wait until midnight to redeem the game code, I guess?

 

[Sane_Man]

I'm stuck on (about 5 hours in)

Spoiler

The Thieves' Hideout.

Spoiler

I just can't figure this one out. There are lots of spots with two red switches on the floor but there's nothing I can find to place on top of the other switch, nor do any of the items seem to help. Can anyone help please??

You need to find the thief girl and free her from her jail. She will then follow you everywhere and you'll have to protect her from the ennemies and also use her to activate the switches. I think she is on the lowest floor.

 

[Kamina]

Man, that 3DS XL looks so sexy!

You should have made Link lift the XL above his head! LOL!

"Now, hold it above your head
for the whole world to see, OK?
It's good for business!"

LOL yeah, sadly the figure isn't that powerful.
Though, I believe Samus would be stable enough.

 

[RagnarokX]

Man I can't wait until tomorrow.

I'm upgrading to the Zelda XL. Do you have to make a family account to get CN coins for an XL if you already have a regular 3DS?

 

[Lyte Edge]

All the back and forths I've had with Amazon seems to be over- I'm being told again that the game will be delivered tomorrow and I'm being credited $20 for all the nonsense that led to this.

If you go back to the entrance of the dungeon, you can get a glimpse of her, waiting down there.

And you're welcome !

break the rock in front of the temple that is south Link's House?

Using the Circle Pad to move Link and pressing the B Button to slash his sword.

How it should be.

West from there there's a guy who grows a big bomb flower in his garden. You'll have to pay him 200 rupees to use it. And then you'll have to pick it up and it will follow you everywhere. Protect it from the ennemies or else it will explode and you'll have to go back to take another one with you.

 

[Keyouta]

My copy probably won't ship until Tuesday, and then it will take a week to get here. I don't have much hope in futureshop.

Game looks great though, can't wait to play!

 

[masterkajo]

Everyone getting their 3DS XL Gold editions. At my local retailer they say they won't release until the 29th. Are you guys getting it early or is my retailer not knowing his stuff (again).

They are getting it early, but the street date is the 22nd.

 

[oatmeal]

I hope the great feedback from reviewers on this game and the non-linear/non-handholdy approach makes Nintendo really look at what they're doing with the Wii U one.

You don't break the rocks, you need an item to lift the boulders.

Was he talking about Hyrule or Lorule? The "temple" south of Link's House in Hyrule is a treasure dungeon blocked by large boulders.

I think I'll swing by GameStop on my lunch tomorrow to maximize my chances of getting that treasure chest.

I've got a PS4 and Xbone, yet this is what I'm looking forward to the most.
