This is a frequent problem with DLC. Adding new patched elements that you don't particularly want to have added can be annoying. It frequently happens with PS3 games for me when it comes to their trophy system. I will be at 95% of trophies achieved, then they patch the game and add a bunch...

Would it be too much to ask for them to include Error? Make him a huge jovial, burly type -- you know, the kind that would grab Link in a bear hug and not know he's crushing the life out of him. Give him a huge axe and let him go to down on some Stalfos and I would pay money to have him...

I personally hope for no transformation to be included because I feel it's been done somewhat recently. I know TP was almost 10 years ago now, but it's only one console title removed from WiiU's Zelda. Playing Wind Waker HD again though, I rather enjoyed being in control of a creature...

I don't think I've ever been caught off guard in a "Oh right, I'm in real life" way, but I do have little reminders of games pop up in real life which are usually relating to the game I'm currently playing. For example, I was sitting in a food court once and looked up to see a skylight that...

They've had adapting music like that in Hyrule Field, OoT and TP come to mind, but it was based solely on your actions or level of movement. Run around and the music was vibrant. Stop and smell the roses and the music became softer. Combine that with battle music and the day-night cycle...

Changing an element to make it 'better' would imply that the game needed fixing to begin with! But them, I'm a die-hard AoL fan as it was the first Zelda game I owned, and the only one I owned until OoT came out... :) But my AoL bias aside, I think removing the overworld map would make the...

I really thought I would only play with the pro controller, but on my first sitting with the game I thought "Well, let's give the Gamepad a try once, then I'll switch next time..." Well, I'm just short of beating the game now some 35 hours later and I've only used the Gamepad. I really liked...

As much as I'd love to be playing it right now, I'm waiting for the physical copy. I really enjoy having my games on a shelf where I can see them, and be reminded that I have them. There's also something lost to me when it's just a file on a system. I know it's just files on a disc the way I...

I already chimed in on the release date thread, but I'll reiterate my answer here since this is where the discussion is happening. I like it! I think it's one of the nicer pieces of Zelda box art in awhile. It reminds me of the type of art they'd put on a SNES RPG title (not specifically...

Maybe "easier" isn't the proper term. Rather, it's the same puzzle from a different perspective. Regardless, they had to make the game playable for people who didn't use the 3D mode, or who couldn't properly see the 3D effect, so it still had to be achievable in the end. The 2DS wouldn't have...

The puzzles in Mario 3D Land weren't 3D dependent, they were just more easily solved in 3D. All of those puzzles could be solved with the placement of shadows and watching how the lines of the blocks intercepted each other. I only put the 3D slider on for the first level, and the final Bowser...

I will take my chances as I've only ever pre-ordered a video game once, and I probably didn't have to in the end. I've never had trouble finding new video games in retail stores on the date they're released. Even weeks later, new games are still plentiful. The only time I SHOULD have...

I hope it's just a tiered buying system where the items get more expensive depending on when you need them in the game. I don't mind grinding for rupees since it was something I did regularly in the original LoZ in order to have arrows and replacement shields. I'm not fond of a renting...

I hope that's the final box art because honestly I think that's one of the nicer pieces of Zelda box art in awhile. It reminds me of the type of art they'd put on a SNES RPG title (not specifically Zelda, but in general). I'm glad it wasn't just a style-guide character compilation shot like...

I'm aware of that, as I own both, but neither are close to a 46" TV! :)

The only time I really use Off-TV play is for the Virtual Console games. Now that Nintendo's gone HD, I'd much rather see the games as large as possible on my LCD TV. The idea of Off-TV play was really exciting to me originally, but on the gamepad HD games just feel... small. Of course, they...

As mentioned above, it was never officially announced. I believe it was Miyamoto (although it could have been Aonuma) who once asked press if they'd like to see Majora's Mask 3D, an A Link To The Past remake, or an A Link To The Past Sequel. Of course, we now know A Link Between Worlds is sort...

I don't mean it in the literal sense, but in fiction it's a common theme. This really isn't the place for real-life discussion on that though...

I got the impression that pretty much the whole town was wiped out. Maybe I'm forgetting dialogue that says otherwise, but I don't think it was a case of having a lot of time to prepare or get to safety before an attack would have happened. It was a spur of the moment event where people looked...

I would have loved if this were an actual movie, art style an all! I really enjoyed that TMNT film and was disappointed to find a sequel was cancelled in favour of a new live-action film. TMNT aside, Zelda is a franchise that really has a lot of film potential, and this type of animation would...

This is the first I've heard of it! That is a pretty impressive set for collectors, especially if you missed out on the previous releases. It seems pricey for what it is, but essentially it's only $25 for each hardcover. (Plus whatever shipping may apply to send something that heavy through...

The other day I finished Level-9 in the original LoZ (hence, beating the game). I seem to play through the original once annually since it was released on the Wii VC. I can now complete the game without a guide... except for Level-9. I still get confused as to which passageway leads where...

I think it's that 'Boba Fett' appeal of the character in that we don't know much about him, so we therefore want to know more. A bigger, starring role could flesh out deeper origins for the concept of this dark doppelganger and perhaps could connect to other lore from older titles. It...

I definitely don't think we'll ever see a Top Secret hint book again. I say this since Nintendo has already started putting this in their Warning section of their manuals: "NEED HELP PLAYING A GAME? For game play assistance, we recommend using your farvourite Internet search engine to find...

I don't know if I can agree with this, because mostly these are comments on a game from a certain era. The choices you made to argue this here are against technical limitations of the day. (Except for perhaps the rupee argument, but that could be said to be a first move by Nintendo in an...

A thousand times yes it SHOULD come with a map, but the reality is I doubt this will happen. I say this because of Nintendo's recent dropping of an actual instruction manual in favour of the instruction fold-out in order to save paper. (Although they still love to keep in the Warning brochure...

While I would agree with most and say I would LIKE to see the tech demo style graphics (although without any spider-based bosses... *shudder*), I would think that we might be in for WW style graphics. I do believe it's been said that the developers do not wish to have the same development time...

I'd have to agree with that because on the flipside of this scene (the one where she's put to sleep) is probably the saddest scene in a Zelda title that I can remember. I truly believed we were in for another sad / bitter-sweet ending when that happened, and to find that this was the complete...

As said, any game for you, no matter how educational, can be bad for you if you let it dominate your life. But really, then it becomes no worse or different than any obsession that takes too much time away from more important things. Even going outside and getting fresh air can be "bad for...

Definitely Adventure of Link, but really it should never have to be dusted off, because it should be constantly within the rotation of games you're currently playing! ;) But seriously, it's a great title. To anyone who thinks modern Zelda is too easy, I say give it a shot. It's not one that...

I think to expect 100 hours of main quest gameplay is really not reasonable, and figured the original quote was more to the side fo 50 hours for the story, and 100 for everything else (possibly including some kind of second quest). I'm not disappointed by any means though, because most seem to...

I'm a bit confused that the Whip is being "revealed" here since it was originally a part of what I believe was the first screenshot gallery we ever got for the game. This was back in June of 2010 (at least according to saved files I have from those images, which I dated "June 15th, 2010"). I...

I think my only concern is the gameplay time. I know they are promising 50 to 100 hours, but I don't know if that includes a second playthrough. (IE - 50 for one play, 100 for two). I managed to get 65 hours of play out of one time through Twilight Princess (including a lot of noodling around...

I am wondering just how this is researched, as it seems to be more of a matter of opinion. I personally feel that spoiling the story of a game does indeed decrease my enjoyment of the game when it comes to modern story-heavy video games. I want to have it unfold before me as I play, and not...

BestBuy.ca has the special edition listed at $69.99, same as the US price. Given the current state of the dollar, I'm glad they are advertising at par. There's no reason why the Canadian version should be $10 more at this point in time. In other words Canadians... Don't buy it at places...

I think Mario should stay the primary mascot because the Mario franchise does represent the company better than the Zelda franchise does. With Mario characters appearing in all kinds of titles, from the main series, to off-shoot titles, to sports and party games, Mario really covers the spread...

I would much prefer to have a golden plastic case, similar to that of the red case for New Super Mario Bros Wii and later the Mario DS series in red. I really miss the old days of the Zelda games having that special packaging that elevated the game above all the rest. I think, especially since...

I think there's still something to be said about the difference between Triforce powers within an individual, and one that is floating free within a castle waiting to be claimed.

AoL is, indeed, one of my top 3 Zelda titles, but then maybe this is because for the longest time it was the only Zelda title I had to play back on the NES. (A friend owned LoZ, so to my parents, it didn't warrant being purchased as my friend and I were always hanging out.) I think what amuses...

The story also says that the King who hid the ToC said that the crest would appear on the hand of a person worthy of using it. But it also said that someone else could have used the power before that person was found: "But, what will happen if someone else uses the Triforce before then?"...

I've seen ALttP/LA -- LoZ/AoL, but not that OoX was added in. That part I don't believe is generally accepted. It just seems like the backup they're providing here on the placement of the original NES duo is a game yet ot be made, when it can be backed up in a number of different ways. I just...

It seems plausible, but to back up theories with games that have "yet to be shown" doesn't really work with me. Yes, it's assumed other games may come along and fill in gaps, but only have LOZ / AOL at the end on the basis that Ganon somehow returns in a game not yet made isn't solid. It would...

Well, my standard answer would be the Arbiter's Grounds, because of the variety of enemies, and the dark atmosphere. Those little swarms of knee-high creatures give me the willies, not to mention both the mini-boss and Stalord himself. The whole lore about the building itself as well adds to...

I only went to one store and they had about 7 copies on display. I did not preorder it either. I've never had to preorder any video game as I seem to be able to walk into any store upon release date and find it in stock. Maybe it's just the location I'm in I suppose, but I never believed any...

I think a bundle is almost the only way to go with this in a way. The game needs Wii Motion Plus to play it, there's no other way. So, the bundle will aid in that regard as people without Wii Motion Plus will need a Wiimote with it to play the game. Secondly, to release it separately seems...

I seem to remember an old thread on this from way back, (prior to SS' announcement even), but as it hasn't been talked about in some time I thought I would answer here again. I would personally like to see Lynels return. It seems odd to me that they haven't, because it seems like a natural...

I voted for "No Rule" if only because the term spoiler is just too hard to define. One may assume it's only the most shocking of secret plot points while others figure saying what's inside the first cave in the original LoZ is a spoiler. It can't be measured as it's different from person to...

I didn't want to respond because I felt that I would get myself into one of my classic "basement24 is a crotchety jerk" moments, but I couldn't stay away. SPOILERS! I'm about to get crotchety! I had Twilight Princess almost completely spoiled for me before I laid hands on it because I came...

I would have to vote for Zelda over Okami. In particular, Twilight Princess I suppose since it was simiar in nature because of the wolf aspect. I really wanted to like Okami, but after about 5 hours into the Wii version, I realized the whole time I wish I were just playing Twilight Princess...

I would be tempted to say the Bottom of the Well, or the Spirit Temple, but I really think it would have to be the Forest Temple. There's really nothing much going on in there in terms of creepy enemies (even the ghosts), or scary environmental appearances... It's just that bone-chilling music...
