Zelda: A Link Between Worlds |OT| All in all you're just another Link in the wall
- Thread starter Frolow
- Start date
Was a European thing, but how one got it depended on where you live. In the UK you had two options, buy it from Nintendo's own store for £40 and get it as a preorder bonus or buy GAME's £50 pack that also gave you Link's Awakening and a poster that I assume was folded.
I went with the former myself.
Beat the first dungeon. Enjoying it so far.
How about YOU explain how you can do what shouldn't be possible. European 3DS systems cannot change to anything that is not in the PAL-region. So I would be shocked if now all of a sudden the North American 3DS became region free and could switch its region to Europe/AU/NZ without anyone noticing.

Amazon:I understand this is frustrating, I'm a gamer too.
Give me few minutes, I'll get back to you with an answer.
Thank you for patiently waiting.
Me:You understand?
My wife will leave me if this game doesn't arrive today
And you better believe I'm not joking

Amazon:There's a possibility if we issue refund, the item will arrive, I'm afraid you need to send it back to us.
Me:Well, you can refund me and I promise I'll send it back
I'm not like amazon, I will actually keep to my promise
I just need the money to buy the game, my wife will be home soon

Amazon:I understand your concern, I'm still working with this.
I apologise for this has happened.
Me:she says she didn't poison my pet fish, but I know she did
that's okay Ansel, just let me know soon
Amazon:I understand that, I'm also a husband of weird woman.
Me:shhh
she might see
I had this e-mailed to my account, she might be reading it now
I love my wife, she's brilliant
she'd never lock me under the stairs
Amazon:My wife is weird, but I love her so much.
We have one daughter.
Me:I am happy for you
Amazon:Regarding with your concern, I'm glad to inform you that I've already process a full refund for this order.

Amazon:Usually it take 2-3 business days, I will update you as soon as possible.
I'll take care of this personally.
Me:I see, I hope I have enough to buy the game today
might need to sell something, but as long as I get the game here by 4pm it should be okay
thank you for your help, it is unfortunate that this has happened
Amazon:Not a problem.
I'm glad, I'm able to help you
Me:I don't think all the help in the world would do me any good Ansel, not with my lady wife
I must go, she'll be back soon, I need to clear my browsing history and prepare the house, she has cult members coming round tonight
goodbye Ansel, speak to you soon
thank you for your help
Amazon:Thank you for choosing amazon.co.uk chat support.

Arg this is gonna be the longest work day ever.
The poster came in a massive cardboard tube, it's quite a large poster.
But I didn't get the rest of the limited edition stuff - including the game - so I'm stuck messing around with a cardboard tube now.

yeah it's gonna... hang on, I finish work in 20 mins. that progress bar on the download will suck a bit though.
Yep, just had the conversation now.

Sir!
RTOP.
Risks be damned, this is going to be an eShop download for me. I love the idea of having damn near every Zelda game available on the 3DS at all times.

I had to plug my 3DS into my Logitech THX speakers. It had to be done.The music is too good.

How can they possibly refund you when the game is already in the hands of the post office? Should they take your word for it that you will mail it back when you get it in?
Just go buy it and return the Amazon copy to the physical retailer when it comes in, or mail it back to Amazon.
Yes, like I took their word that they'd deliver on time.

My opinion after 5-6h, Dark World, 6 dungeons finished:
Best Zelda Handheld game after Links Awakening, but not on the same level of quality as ALTTP and Links Awakening.
The whole Ravio 'You get all items from the start!' was definitely something that Nintendo decided to do in the very late development stages of the game since the world doesn't seem to be really laid out for it and makes excuses for this feature all the time.
The overworlds in LA and ALTTP were still a bit deeper / better design wise.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Zelda, treasure chest and ridiculously sized poster arrived. How quickly can you enable streetpass?

My god, this game is so good. I didn't think it could live up to LttP in any way, but it's amazing.
Pretty much immediately if you know where to go.

I got GTA5 on time no issues, only game I have pre-ordered from Amazon. Shit happens, if I really REALLY want a game on launch I go to a shop, you can't rely on the post.

pm'd - best of luck to your friend!
That's really cool. Too bad they don't sell the shirts in my size. It would also make an amazing poster.
Hell yeah, jump in the hype is nice!
I picked up the 3ds xl bundle today at walmart. It was a pain in the ass. I went to the same walmart that I went to earlier in the week when they had it out on the shelf. They had "sale not allowed" stickers on the systems, so they were trying to say they couldn't sell them anymore.
I told them it was just because the street date is today, and there is an ad online saying it comes out today for $200. They finally tried to scan it, and it worked. What a pain.
It is pretty though.
Also... If anyone got an extra chest promotion... Man I'd like to have one of those for my work desk!

I really hate the no-manual trend in 3DS games. It's poopy.
Wii U games has the same trend as well

If you have a 3DS and have never played Link's Awakening, and haven't downloaded it yet, you are a bad person and puppies don't like you and your butt smells.

Aw shucks, Zelda games used to have lovely manuals as well. I know they are not 'needed' now, but still a shame. I still have my LoZ and ALTTP carts with the manuals and maps, sometimes just get them out to look at them.

My 3DS is getting plugged into my 7.1 surround system the SECOND I can pull myself away from SM3DW.

It is! I normally really don't care a lot, but yesterday I realized that it's a habit of mine that after playing a new Zelda game for awhile I grab the box and enjoy the smell of a freshly printed manual.
Too bad that there was none. ;(
Nintendo's special edition stuff tends to sell out rather quickly and they do not bring in more stock once it sells out. My guess is these will be available until January 2014. There appears to be more stock available of the Zelda 3DS XL than there was for the Animal Crossing and Pokemon one so I doubt this will sell out as quickly. Stores are holding copies for Black Friday.

Today is going to be the longest day of work since the last thing I was looking forward to. This thread will help me, I will live vicariously through some of you.
