Default Well Zelda has officially been sent from the US

to Sydney.

I will be getting this soon, I gather next week. I can't wait!

Although the road to getting this was an uneasy one. Basically I ordered it through Ebworld, then this idiot says that there are "some things" they can't export due to Nintendo's policy or something. So seen as I ordered the game, I assumed he was talking about that (why else would he email me?).

So I cancelled it, then afterwards (a day or so) I send an email asking him if Zelda is unable to be exported from US to Syd. He said that it was. So giving all the time differences, we only get an email a day so it takes time.

I ordered Zelda AGAIN, paying the ridiculous shipping fee of $29 USD and after 2 days, the order is still pending. So friggin slow. Then 3 days later it goes through (saying Open Order). WTF does that mean???

Send em another email asking them when the hell it is going to be sent. Then they send me another email saying "item shipped". FINALLY

The reason why I get it from here is because it has the bonus disc. It's so hard to import elsewhere. I tried EBay a lot of times, but keep losing.

My friends, this has been an uneasy method of getting Zelda, but point is I'll be having it soon.

It does!

Especially when the games you buy come out 4 months later, and suffer from PAL framerate/speed problems

Have damn good fun with Zelda. I did (rental until I can get the monies for it). At least problems are finally sorted out and you can keep using the good ol' Freeloader

I don't know why they have to make NSTC and PAL. What does it accomplish?

I beat it on Monday. The game isn't super incredibly long, maybe not as long as OoT, but its not incredibly short either. I would have prefferd there have been less Triforce pieces and have each piece with its own dungeon instead of the eight peice scavenger hunt though. It would have made the game longer, funner, and less annoying.

The main game is shorter. But there are tons more side things to do/get. Zelda:WW has the most replayability so far in any Zelda games released to this date, at least in my opinion.

Well, he is either an idiot and doesn't know how to count, or he was telling a really crappy joke.
