How many of you have Zelda:WW Reserved?

[Kakyo]

I was just wondering. I have and I am more eagerly anticipating OoT Masterquest than WW itself. OoT=best 3D game ever...new version:roll:

[Jason1]

I havent yet, but you can bet I will as soon as I can when they start giving out those Bonus Discs. OOT is just so great...

[GameKinG]

I have it reserved.

[Crono]

I pre ordered mine 2 weeks ago, but my local EB still doesn't know if they're doing the pre order campaign, I hope they do.

[GameKinG]

All EBs should.

[Dyne]

Ooh, ooh..

*raises hand*

[BreakABone]

Well, I spoke with the Gamestop that I reserved the game at since like last summer, and they said that it is better to pre-order before so you can receive the free disc.

[DarkMaster]

i reserved mine about a month ago

Same here. The EB clercks (except one) are gonna get their a$$es so beaten if I don't get the bonus discs.:boxing:

[Null]

i reserved at EB.

last week they called and asked me to come by and put an extra $10 down to Garentee me the bonus disc.

[Mushlafa]

I reserved it at my local EB.. pretty much they said that they're not sure if there will be enough bonus discs to go around... then i told them that on nintendos website it sais that everyone that pre-orders gets a free disk.. n they didnt say anything so i walked away..

[Seth]

I preordered as soon as ebgames.com put up the bonus disc option. I better get the bonus discs, cuz, they've charged me the extra shipping costs for them. There has to be enough for everyone that preorders..otherwise there'll be a lot of pissed of fanboys.

[DeathsHand]

I've had it pre-ordered from EBgames.com siiiiince.... I think April 2002... Yep...

[Shadow_Link]

I have.

[Bad Religion]

i did too, i always wanted to play more of OOT than I was able to (borrowed N64), now I can on Feb 17th according to my local eb

[The Germanator]

I reserved it from EB a couple weeks ago...they say I'll get the bonus disc sometime before the actual game.

[Gamer]

I work at Toys R Us so once we get the pre-orders i will be buying my self one.

[Jonbo298]

I am taking a wait til' it begins approach. But I might go to EB's this weekend to see if I can pre-order now and be guaranteed the disc.

[Cyrax9]

It's Reserved adn I'm paying my mother for it, who I had order it to mkae my life easier. I'm wortking on "Zelda: A Link ot the past" for the GBA and I intend to fini**** before I start Windwaker and TOoT for the GCN, I only pre-orderted for the goodies, but It's still a good reason, Nintendo better have their NEXT Zelda ready to keep sales up, remeber if M$ outdoes Nintendo we'll all be stuck on Xboxes and PS2's, this isn;'t nessecarily bad, but it'll be worse than losing Atarti and Sega was, we need to keep the big "N" Alive. Alghouthgn if they win their lawsuit against Sony for the Playstaion name, or get a Ca$h settlement, we'll have something good either way.

[Storm Eagle]

I wonder what kind of packaging the Ocarina of Time/Ocarina of Time Master Quest disc will come in.

[DeathsHand]

If it's like the Japanese one, a slip cover with a crummy lil' instruction thing...

Or whatever IGN said it came with :p

[Sigma]

i have mine reserved and i'm so going on the 16th to get my copy of OOT. I preordered at EB and they told me that the bonus cd comes out on the 16, but the game only comes out next month.

I can't wait!

I'm going to have to take extra good care of this thing when I get it. It's a rarity after all. And I'm not lending it out to anybody. And I mean I AM NOT lending it out to anybody.

I hope the Gamecube controller will be comfortable to use with those games too.

If rarity equals "everyone who preorders the new Zelda game will get a re-release and remix of OoT in a cardboard clip cover" then yep, its a rarity.

Don't get your hopes up though.

[GameKinG]

Its not suppose to be cardboard:

http://cubemedia.ign.com/cube/image/zeldadiscbox.jpg

I dont care what it comes in, as long as there is a game inside. Otherwise Ill be really pissed...

Why wouldn't there be a game inside? :)

Don't worry. It won't have anthrax.

[TheGame]

hmm... do you have to reserve it to get the bonus disk? Is it gonna be limited quantity or somthing?

I'm sure Nintendo will have to release it seperatly because there may be more demand for that bonus disk than the acctual game. I know I want the bonus disk more *shrugs*

Maybe I'll reserve it, then cancel after getting the free bonus disk.

[Crash]

local gamespot store just said that they will be getting the bonus disks starting tomorrow, thats the 6th ladies. i can't wait.

yeah, you know the release dates don't make much sense now that i look at a calendar, the 15 and 16h are a weekend and the 17th is a holiday (presidents day)... i think i'll stop in eb on the way home tonight, either way i have a 3 day weekend with OOT coming up! :D

[Ginkasa]

Babbage's said they were getting it starting the 16th...


:unsure:


*shrugs and walks away*

[Seth]

ebgames.com said that the game's shipping on the 5th....so i'm assuming it'll be at my house by the 7th.

EDIT: Damnit...just checked the shipping order for my disc and it's coming the 16th. Oh well.

[Jonbo298]

argh! just now reading about some stores getting this early MAKES me want to find $15! (Short on cash at the moment :() *begins a massive hunt*

[GameKinG]

Nintendo wont release it seperately. Despite whether you want the game or not, the only way you will get the disk without TWW is not going to be retail.

Amazon made one of the worst deals ever. They give you TWW, and the bonus disc for $50. But they also offer just the bonus disc for $70. One less game for 20 more dollars? Even if you dont want TWW, its a worse deal...oh well...

If there are extra after pre-ordering stops, on the day of TWW's release, they will likely include with non-preorders to they run out.

[Jonbo298]

I think I understood what you mean GKG. I said $15 because thats what EB requires as a deposit. And with my town only having EB, thats about my only option.

[Blix]

I completely paid my copy now. The clerks at EB didn´t know exactly how much you had to pay to assure your copy of the bonus disc. The add said $15, but some of the clercks were saying $20.

[Ridley]

Yeah I've had my copy reserved for a couple weeks now. Went to EB, asked them if they were reserving and if it included the bonus disc and they said yes. I had to put $20 down in order to get the bonus disc though. Probably with my luck, they'll give me a bonus disc, but not the one with Ocarina of Time and Master Quest on it. If that happens, there's going to be some EB employees with a foot up their @$$.

:D

sweet....didn't know i'd be getting a sneak peak at 1080, f-zero, and warioland.

[Jonbo298]

It takes 15 blocks?! I guess I will HAVE to get another mem. card since I can't just delete my PSO files. And I notice that its Progressive Scan compatible:drool:

[Ginkasa]

Wow, it was a cardboard sleeve in Japan...

:D

Japan always gets cardboard stuff...

Question...

What if I were to reserve Celda... get the bonus disk, then cancel my reservation... what would happen? :deal:

[BreakABone]

As far as it seems, if you cancel your pre-order you have to bring back the bonus disc unopened and return it before you cancel your pre-order, I don't know if that holds true everywhere but that's seems to be the deal.

[Gamer]

Thats the deal where im buying it. Basically you pay 20$(cnd) for the bonus disk, and pay the rest for the actual game.

[Jason1]

YES!!!! I SO wanted a DVD case to protect this baby! (the cardboard things make them scratch easily) I wonder if any stores will have them there this weekend...so I could just walk in, pre-order, put my money down, and walk out with the Disc:D

[Crono]

Originally posted by TheGame

If you think about it, that really wouldnt be fair to the people who DO plan on buying the game. (Why don't you want it anyway?) Like if it's only limited copies and some other person who does plan on buying it and can't get the bonus disc because of people like you, then it isn't fair...IMO. Do whatever you want, I just felt like adding in my opinion...

I don't see why you don't want Wind Waker though... maybe you don't have enough cash? And if you get it from EB, theres always the 10 day return policy (I'm not sure if its in the US but is at EB Canada).

[DeathsHand]

ebgames says you CAN'T cancel the order UNLESS you send the bonus disc back...

My bonus disc is in Maryland!... SO CLOSE YET SO FAR! COME TO MEEEEE!!!

See I got the same E-mail, only for mine it says 1 of 1 of the web only presells was shipped... but the legend of zelda wind waker pre order bonus? 0 of 1 shipped... doesn't make sense, does it? :p But it obviously shipped cuz there's a tracker number and all and it's in Maryland now so yeah..

[Jason1]

I think im goning to the mall today...Im praying either EB or Babbages might have some bonus discs in...think its possible guys? Everyone seems to know that these things are being shipped to online pre-orders, but nobody seems to have any clue if any stores have them in.

[GameKinG]

Most stores have told me all sales are final unless you bring the bonus back.

[Jason1]

Well I placed my pre-order today at Babbages, the guy said they should have the bonus disc's in the 16th, but he is going to call when they get them in.

[TheGame]

I decided I'll just reserve the game and buy it at launch.... I guess I'll have to scrap up some extra $$$ for Pokemon.

[Seth]

Well, I just got 2 discs via fedex. They look exactly the same though? I still haven't put them in my cube yet...seeay.

/me goes off to play some OOT.

[ZebraRampage]

I preordered mine last weekend and I get my bonus disc on the 16th, but I'm watching the Daytona 500 first so I might not be able to get it on Sunday, so I'll get it on Monday.

[gekko]

Mine has arrived.

[Seth]

K....sorry about the size..http://66.183.206.141/AGB/pics/Misc/oot%2Ejpg


Also......My cube isn't connected to my TV at this time so i still have yet to try out the discs.....but do the rest of you have 2 of the exact same cases? The pamphlets in the inside are the same too. ? whatever..maybe i should actually play the games.

[gekko]

I don't know why you have 2 copies. Both games are on a single disc.

[Jason1]

Bah! Bah! Im so envious! I cant pick mine up til the 16th!

[Seth]

[.hack//]

I'm gonna reserve my copy of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on Feburary 16th (when my EB gets copies of Oot/MQ).

Oh, and btw, anybody here play the Wind Waker demo yet??

[Crash]

got my pre order disk, pics and impressions tomorrow....

Same here...:(



*sighs and walks away*

[Seth]

I've played about 1 hour into OOT. The video clips of 1080, F-Zero, and stuff aren't that great. Just footage from the games. But ya, OOT is running on a higher resolution. I don't know what else to say about the disc....cept that I mysteriously got 2 discs instead of one.

[Ginkasa]

One disc is OoT. The other disc is the actual treasure, Ura Zelda. Ura Zelda is a remix of OoT, like the second adventure in the original LoZ.

Did you not know that?


*duh*


*shrugs and walks away*

[Crash]

no, both games are on one disk, at least in the US version. it's cool... it says legend of zelda on one side... .so far, just got my deku shield, so nothing new as of yet... cept for the "L" targeting system!

[Seth]

Ya....master quest/oot are on one disc...along with the sneak peaks. So....i got 2 discs. I got my sword and shield and I'm in the great deku tree. I'm at the point where I have to break through a cobweb thing in the floor...but I don't know how. I didn't play OOT back when it was released:(

[Crash]

you gotta jump from high up, and break it...

[Seth]

I did jump....but all it did was bounce. Do I have to climb those vines? I climb but once I get to the top it's blocked off.

[Crash]

if it bounces, you're not high enough

[Ginkasa]

You have to climb as high as you can before it breaks.


*shrugs and walks away*

[GameKinG]

Get to the very top. There should be a spider the pops down when you head towards the edge of the platform. Kill it and fall down. There is a chance you can miss the web, then you have to go back up...

[Crash]

this is awesome, EVERYTHINGS moved around, and enemies are all different.... you da man nintendo!

PS gameking, is MQ there are no spiders, there are man eating plants!

[TheGame]

hmm... everything is moved around? Can you give some examples?

Is the game's story line any different from the original Zelda OoT?

[Crash]

the games story line is the same, but where you'd find the slingshot, is where the compus used to be, and stuff.

[TheGame]

ok, cool... is it any more diffucult that OoT? Cause I had lots of trouble the moment Link grew up. Even though I eventually beat every temple I had attempted

Then your REALLY in for a treat:D

[ZeroCool51]

Duffman has reserved Zelda and would like to know what is the difference between OCT and masterquest.

[Ginkasa]

Master Quest has a few items in different places and different enemies and stuff.


*shrugs and walks away*

[Gamer]

I cant get my pre-order disk untill sunday, that is when they start pre-selling officially, and since i work at Toys R Us, and get a discount, that is where i am going to buy it. I need to get 4 copies, lol, one for myself, a second for my ebay sale, a third and fourth for friends.

[Bond]

Oh yeah, my pre-order disc thingie is in! Going to pick it up tomorrow.

:D

[Jonbo298]

I've been playing a copy one of my friends got. So far I'm getting ready to head back to the mountain as an adult. OoT:MQ is odd in some places.
*Possible Spoilers*















The Dodongo Cavern seemed like I was doing it backwards! That threw me off once in a while! And in Jabu Jabu's Belly, there are friggin cows in the walls!:wtf: What was Nintendo thinking when they re-made OoT a few years ago.












*End Spoilers*:D

[Ginkasa]

I've only gotten so far as to right after you leave Hyrule Castle to go to Death Mountain. I haven't seen anything wierd yet, but I am looking forward to the cow thing :D

Must have had some problems digesting or something.


*shrugs and walks away*

[Bond]

Alrighty, just got back from picking up my preorder disc. But I do have one quick question for anyone. I never played the original Ocarina of Time, considering I never owned a Nintendo 64. So I was wondering would you suggest that I play the original OoT? Or just jump right into the Master Quest?

Thanks in advance.

[Ginkasa]

You're supposed to play the original first. Master Quest is intended for the people have already played through OoT at least once and know the puzzles and stuff.

It doesn't matter if you play Master Quest first, its just slightly more challenging than OoT, possibly more so since you haven't played OoT first.

Plus, the differences in Master Quest won't mean anything unless you've played OoT already.

In conclusion, I siggest you play OoT first, but it won't be the end of the world if you skip to Master Quest.


*shrugs and walks away*

*shrugs and walks away*

I don't see how the dungeons are necesarily harder... they're just different (although I've only played the deku tree dungeon so far)... and considering they have the same story and everything else, if you havn't played the original yet I don't think it would really matter which one you play... The differences in MQ don't mean anything unless you've played OoT already? But then if you play MQ first, then play OoT, there would be just as many differences as there were if you played OoT first and then MQ.... sooo... *shrugs*...

Maybe I only think its harder because I'm used to knowing how to get through the puzzles with no problem instead of having to figure it out...

*shrugs*

I don't know...


*shrugs again and walks away*

[Jonbo298]

Dodongo's Cavern seemed like I was doing it backwards. Thats been the biggest challenge so far. Anyone with MQ and is up to the Fire Temple (Adult), I have a question. How do you get the door with the bars open at the very beginning?! I can't remember and I think doing it is new. But after this, comes the Water Temple:errr: That will take a few days since I don't have the strategy guide for OoT and I can't remember exactly how it goes.

[Dyne]

*cough*

Well, I was sick all weekend with a deadly fever. Funny I should get sick on my time off. >_>

Anyways, yesterday I had awaited the blissfull call that this disc was in. But it wasn't coming. I phoned them just now, and they're (EB) giving me this crap that they won't get it until they get WW. God, idiots. I may have to revert to Microplay. :(

[Crono]

My EB won't have the bonus disc until tomorrow, stupid bastards.

[Ridley]

I have the disc, except I won't be able to play it for like two months because I'm in college and my system is at home (which is about a 19 hour drive away) :unsure:.

[The Germanator]

My EB may have the disc, but Delaware is in a State of Emergency, so no cars allowed to drive unless in an emergency situation...Does getting the bonus disc count as an emergency?

[GameMaster]

I reserved it yesterday and got the bonus disc. This is my first time playing OoT and so far it's been quite boring, I've only talked to the Deku Tree and gotten the sword and shield so I still need to give it some more time. Is Master Quest just a hard version of OoT?

[Ginkasa]

1. You haven't even started the game yet. The first part is just a little introduction to get you used to the controls and stuff.

2. Master Quest has more complicated puzzles and monsters in places they didn't used to be so... Yeah, its a little bit harder. Not extremely though.


*shrugs and walks away*

[Gamer]

I finally got my Zelda pre-order yesterday :):) And so far i have only played the deku tree. I already got stuck, lol, on the part where the platform is moving across the water, and you have to go under the rotating spiky bar. I didnt realise that you didnt have to lower the water, and just duck, so i was stuck for a while. But now i beat it, and just got Zelda's letter. Good game, im surprised they changed alot. :D

Keep calling them and telling them that you have sources saying that you get the Bonus Discs NOW! And have any friends also call them every day until they figure out that people aren't stupid. But I'm surprised that some EB's don't have it yet. Mine has had them since Thurs. But just keep pestering them until they give in:D
