Where did you buy it?!

[Ginkasa]

I preordered it off of Amazon. They shipped it early ^_^


*laughs and leaps away*

[DarkMaster]

Just to let you know, I heard it was the worst game ever made.




Not really

[bobcat]

I'd be lying if I didn't say I was jealous.......

DM is right, it's a **** game.....just sell it on ebay .....somehow only to me....for $5

I face the daunting choice of whether to wait until I can afford these systems or burn my credit and get them now.

Decisions decisions...

I don't believe you!!! But I'll give you a chance. Just ship the game to me as proof that you do have it and I'll ship it back to you.

Reviews are coming in and some are saying it may just be better then OoT..which is something that is hard to do but I'm excited since I saved up just enough to get a Wii and Zelda Have to wait til next week to get another game after I beat it >.>

If it is actually better than OOT like Nintendo themselves have claimed, not only will it be the best game ever made, it will be gamings finest moment. I have my doubts that it really will though. Still, if it somehow is, Nintendo will once and for all be essisentially the equivalent of god.

It's a subjective statement, and "better" simply can't constitute a bigger and longer OoT.

To copy my post:

IGN threw down a fat 9.5, but gamespot gave it an 8.8, which is still a damn good score. I have a feeling it's going to be a lot like Ocarina. I might wait a few months before I plunge into the Wii, I still really want to play TP, and I don't want to do it on the cube....since I have a TV that can run 480.

You'll almost certainly enjoy the game for its terrific puzzles, colorful characters, and compelling story, but at some point the feeling of nostalgia crosses the line and holds this game back from being as unbelievably good as some of its predecessors. So as impressive of a game as it is, Twilight Princess seems like it could have been so much more with a few presentational updates and more effective and interesting uses of the Wii's unique control scheme. But even without those things, Twilight Princess is a great game that stays extremely true to the Zelda franchise's past. That's excellent news for fans of the series, who'll find in Twilight Princess a true-blue Zelda game with updated visuals, some new twists, plenty of challenging puzzles, and a faithful dedication to the series' roots.

It is also one of the finest games I have ever played. The experience is made better and not worse on Wii. The Wii remote and nunchuk add accuracy and speed to exploration and combat for a heightened sense of immersion. While the game has just about everything going for it, including improved controls, a long and engrossing quest, brain-teasing dungeons and some beautiful graphics, it's not perfect. The difficulty has been upped over Wind Waker, but I wish it were harder still – the boss fights are oftentimes too easy, for example. Additionally, while the visuals are generally impressive, some textures remain blurry to the point they are noticeable. And finally, I still question why Nintendo refuses to add either voice work to the side characters (especially since Twilight Princess features such an improved, dark storyline) or orchestrated music to the soundtrack.

"greatest zelda game" is quite a feat to hold, or comment to make

i don't care much to point out that ign can aim high and gamespot can be critical, especially when it's a zelda game and you know it's going to kick ass. personally, as long as it's something like OoT, MM or Wind Waker I'll be happy. And for me, I don't really care where it falls in terms of ranking with other zelda games. I personally think OoT is the best, and I think OoT will always be the best, because of its story, its atmosphere, and the 2 years of my life it consumed (longer than any other story-driven adventure game). A Link to the Past has a sepcial place in my heart, as well as Link's Awakening. And The Minish Cap and Majora's Mask are both contendors for great games that I would probably love a lot more if I still had the time in life to play through them 9 times like I literally did with OoT. Wind Waker just wasn't worth playing through 9 times. Anyway....I'm excited, but I think I'll wait till at least January to pick up a Wii. I want to see how TP does on the Cube as well.
