I wont be getting my Wind Waker until the end of the month, because I'm orderign Nintendo's bundle, and I probably wont get it sent out until later this week.

Might I suggest trying to beat it on your own before relying on the Strategy Guide. It's more fun when you can accomplish something on your own.

Well, Bobblehead isn't included, but cool that it's got the gold theme and the weird writing on the disc.

Shadow Fox · 03-17-2003, 10:22 PM

While I'm mad the game still won't be a gold cart (for obvious reasons), I've got the game preordered, and just beat Master Quest yesterday or the day before (I forget).

IMO, the Spirit Temple has officially replaced the Water Temple as the world's most aggrevating Zelda 64 level...

Anyways, I preordered this thing LONG ago (long before the Mario official preorders started), so I had to go back home and get my reciept to prove I'd preordered the game in full to get the Ura Zelda disc...

I was a bit pissed off at that, but considering my local Babbages' changed two managers in that time, I can sorta feel them on that...

At least the disc is gold (like the first copies of Zelda's Adventure for Cd-i), so it still has somewhat of a nostalgic appearance...

Where do you get a bobblehead?

Ginkasa · 03-18-2003, 01:09 AM

I've seen Babbage's selling these Nintendo themed bobble heads. I guess that's the Link one. I've never really payed attention to them so...

Wait, let me get this straight.

You wish nintendo wouldn't have switched to discs?

Hell no; I meant for nostalgic purposes, since almost all Zelda games were carts, and were gold for the most part.

But for the sake of arguement, a console consisting of cartridge slots would have a much better seek time, and if compressed, 90 hours worth of FMV could be stored instantaneously to a harddrive for playback in-game.

In other words, the ultimate console would've been an N64 with an HD, or an Xbox with a cart slot realistically, though prices would've been sky-high again ($70 for games and such). But you'd get what you pay for (NO LOADTIMES, in-game saves, no memory cards, no noise of the console "spinning up", etc).

It's all relative technical thinking, really...

*looks at the clock* "12:25am" 5 days

BTW, there are rumors saying that the game will actually arrive in the 25th. I dunno if it's true. Maybe it's just here in P.R. becuase since PSO we've been getting games one day later. Only the metro area gets them on the release date (Stupid F*cks). Anyway, can anybody clear this? is it everywhere or am I going to be the only one here who will have to wait an Extra day?

Ginkasa · 03-19-2003, 01:31 AM

I always have to wait an extra day. Babbage's even has a little dry erase board that says Zelda is being released on the 25th here, not 24th.

called EB up again....

they still say 24th. and people who reserved still might be able to pick it up 23rd.

this is usual tho. most places have different idea's when a game is comeing in usually.

I know some places only let people who reserved pick up one day. and tell everyone else another day.

ah well.
