As bad as Walmart can be, Best Buy has always been the worst store for electronics, for me. Always been obnoxious and rough just to get in and out, for some reason, was sad when Circuit City closed years back.

If only Zelda had more Call of Duty in it.
I didn't notice that. I'm not good at noticing frame drops if they're not very bad, but I'm certain I'd notice such a huge drop.

I wasn't expecting to be able to rent every item in Ravio's shop and still have 800 rupees left over :| Guess I'll do another full sweep of Hyrule to find everything I can before heading to the next dungeons. Being able to rent/buy everything easily was probably my biggest concern with the game going in, hopefully the combo of having a bunch of items instantly and wall link allows the devs to come up with some crazy dungeons.

Zelda leans over the table, his gruff hands pushing aside the beer cans that cover the map of the enemy battlegrounds. "Okay, team, we need to get the Triforce over on the other side of Hyrule. I'm gunna be frank, there's a lot of shit coming our way."
Link turns away. "Aw fuck this shit."
Zelda slaps him. "This ain't no time for fucking around, you piece of shit" he growled. "You take your goddamn MD17 with a 56 caliber sniper gun blaster and you point it at those fuckers until they die. This ain't no time to be messing around."
Link hollers at Zelda, "Fuck you. I ain't waiting for Ganon and the other Soviet Islamic terrorists to be heading our way. You ain't got nobody but me and Mountain Dew."
They both look at the camera.
"Okay rookie," barks Zelda, his muscles flexing and shining in some unholy sheen, "I'll take point, you follow behind me."
He runs over to the door, kicks it down, before he's shot down by a Deku Scrub.
"Fuck," he mutters in a pool of his own blood. Link grabs his arm in macho, non-gay camaraderie. "Go get those bastards for me. Don't you dare let them win. Hyrule's freedom lies in your hands."
Credits roll.

Whoops was enjoying the game and Ace Attorney lol, you should expect 2. Game will be in smallish box, poster in poster tube (which I'm waiting for)
LOL. People that play this crap and complain about Nintendo's stories are something else.
I would take the Zelda's sleep scene or Fi's farewell in Skyward Sword any day over any story in a dudebro shooter.

3D effect really helps in the dungeons and when trying to figure out where you need to merge with the walls.

Best use of 3d on the system for sure. I've never really been a fan of the feature, but I have no interest in playing Zelda with it turned off. The usage in the dungeons in particular is fantastic. If the game keeps up like it's been so far, this may just be a perfect 2d Zelda experience.
So it seems like I'm stuck. I can't find a way to access the last dungeon in Lorule, the one
. If anybody got a clue to put me on the right direction, I'd be grateful.
Edit : Okay nevermind, I finally found a way in !
in the desert, south/west on the map (I saved it for last since I didn't know how to reach it)

This is shaping up to be one of my favorite Zeldas ever. And I'll admit, a large part of that is due to nostalgia. I first played Link to the Past when I was seven or eight, and finally beat it when I was ten. Zelda, and LTTP in particular, was a huge part of my childhood imagination. Getting to revisit the LTTP world and seeing how it has changed gives me the same feeling I get when I visit the neighborhood I used to live in as a little kid, or the old camp ground my mom and I used to go to.
I have to say, though, I'm not a fan of the Ocarina of Time references. I was never a huge fan of that game, and seeing people like
and hearing the house music from OOT kinda rubs me the wrong way. I want this to be 100% Link to the Past fan service. It's a minor thing, but it still bugs me. Otherwise, this game has been amazing.

Man, just started up this game, beat the Eastern Palace. It's a fantastic game, but the one thing that did kinda sorta bother me is that this game opted for the modern, "peaceful start" to a zelda game where you run around a bit doing errands before really getting into it. One of the best things about ALTTP was that it threw you right into the action and drama right away.
Oh well, it's still a relatively quick and snappy intro, it isn't offensive in the least bit. Just a shame that they didn't use this opportunity.
Also: I love those milk bar musicians. They are so good. I can tell this game was composed by the Nintendoland composer, there's a lot of similarities.

Yeah in Tower of Hera, I was like "whoa" when i jumped to the next level.
Ugh how much longer will it take for Miiverse 3DS? I want to post things!

Oh lord Circuit City that takes me back. Going there as a kid in the last 80s/early 90s and seeing those Mind's Eye computer animation VHS tapes they'd have on loop showing off CRTs. I even remember seeing them selling Sega CDs and even playing clips from Night Trap lol. I feel old.

There is no dungeon in the South West of Lorule. Actually, that part is used as
a battle arena for a boss later on
I believe the sand rod only becomes available for rent/buy after you've cleared the first Lorule dungeon, also I'd HIGHLY recommend buying+upgrading this item because then it creates permanent sand columns instead of just temporary.

I'm sure this has been mentioned already, but I love how the sound switches to (mono? stereo?) when you're in portrait mode.

I like the drawn animations period.
By the way you do eventually get to find the rent items, right?

Just got to the Eastern Palace, and HNNNNNNNNNNNNG. Feels good, man.
I still have Mario to crack open too. What a weekend it will be.

I felt like I got my $40 worth after seeing that amazing title screen. Fortunately everything that follows up to
has been sublime. The first dungeon was a great warm up and the wall mechanics are pretty inventive and provide for some neat camera tricks.

You are controlling everything. Holding circle pad neutral, up or down controls the distance. Then, depending on your timing, the ball will go left or right (left = hit ball late, right = hit the ball early).
You get the option to buy them pretty early in the game, at the same place. Costs between 800-1200 rupees with 50% off for first purchase (so buy Ice or Fire rod as first purchase).
This game is so fucking good. And I have never liked Zelda game a lot.
This will be me next week (already got Zelda and Tearaway. Mario releases next friday in Eu).

So my fear was confirmed, because the game can't assume the player has any item minus the one required to enter the dungeon your other items are even more useless in this game. Sure there are some areas that offer more then one solution if you have multiple items, but it's not any easier or more efficient so far. Maybe the later dungeons make you wish you had all the items but so far these earlier ones aren't cutting it.
