Zeldahhhhhh!

[mank!]

Anyone else got their copy yet? Mine came this morning from GAME, pity I've got to go out this afternoon really :|

Or have you all had it for about a month already? :/

 

[silverthorn]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo
I see Game had debited my account last night for the amount... that means I'll be able to pick it up from the post office tomorrow morning...

Sweet lord here we go

BTW did anyone read that if you don't have a 60Hz TV your bonus discs won't do diddly squat?

Computer and Video Games has info about it on their site
www.computerandvideogames.com

 

[Xtro]

pfft, yes mank I've had it for a while now - US version of course

You'll enjoy it, nice game. Not got that far into it as I've been working or on Planetside. enjoy.

 

[lynchet]

Not got it yet.


Though I do find it interesting Game sent it early ----- when I mentioned other companies doing that as a plus in their favour the Game suit here got very high and mighty all about how that was illegal

 

[Jonny_Darko]

Hmmph. Not exactly sure about being called a "suit" - I am a person you know...with feelings and everything!

/me has just realised I am wearing a suit.

 

[Wij]

Not got mine yet...

 

[lynchet]

hehe Sorry Jonny -- just thought it was rather ironic

 

[MrBee]

completed it on saturday...far to easy

 

[]SK[]

Got mine yesterday. Came with the platinum GC too.

 

[silverthorn]

...and I got home and it was sitting there in its lovely brown envelope... YAY for me...

I gotta admit, this is the most stunning looking game I've seen in a while... the whole graphical style of it is just incredible

Only just played it for a few hours but DAMN it's goooooood

 

[sheepsteak]

I've had it for a month too but haven't had much time to play it recently. I love the music that plays when you are sailing! :viking:

 

[whipped]

Got home yesterday and it was waiting for me. I'm bloody knackered. Stayed up till 5:00am playing. Bloody Zelda.

"I'll just finish this dungeon and kill the boss."
"Ok, I'll just sail around for a bit and see whats out there."
"Oooo, that looks like that's where that treasure was"
"Ok, I'll just get to this levels dungeon."
.
.
.

"Shit, it's 5:00am. Must sleep"



I think I'll be repeating this series of events tonight.

 

[]SK[]

Heh, I did that. Said ill do dungeon and then story came and had to find sail. Not found it yet but met that green annoying thing and got a pictobox. Went to sleep at that part. Missus now has controll of the TV so I wont be getting much in tonight.

 

[Embattle]

Got mine on Tuesday, you still can't freely pick the game up at shops until Friday. Most online companies do ship early so that most people will get the game in time.

 

[Sar]

Get it tomorrow, after my job interview for the PSNI

 

[lynchet]

Got it today

Im new to Zelda and although it looks good it hasnt totally grabbed me yet. The gap whenever you open a door is really annoying and Im not too sure about the control system.

 

[whipped]

My God! Still playing. Must sleep

 

[Jonny_Darko]

Lynchet - it's very much a slow starter unfortuately...when it gets good it gets really good though!

 

[Hashmonster]

Mine arrived on friday! only just started playing now - just climed down that first ladder! wahey!

But i gave the ocarina of time a quick spin and it is noticeable how better it does look running at the high res..

As for the wind waker - i'm running it in 50hz as i seem to prefer it that way... weird!

I've been reading the posts, Please enlighten me....


I've been a keen Zelda player since it's release on the NES, but I don't know if I would like cartoon type games? I dont have a GC but would be willing to buy one if the game is true to the Zelda feel.

 

[lynchet]

Not having played previous Zelda games I couldnt say if it has the same feel.

The cartoon graphics do take some getting used to, but once you accept them for what they are then they are very impressive.

My comments on the annoying loading between rooms stands but I JD was right that Im getting into it a lot more now.

It is a very good game.


As for Mr Bee finding it too easy ! -- either hes a show off uber gamer or the games puzzles just happened to hit on the same wavelenght as he is on -- neither me nor a friend playing it are finding it easy !

 

[Hashmonster]

get the game - the graphics are superb and make a good change

Tho i'm doing that training bit where u learn the techniques... control system is very similar to N64 zelda but i don't seem to be able to do a vertical slice? i'm pressing L & B but it ain't happening! gah! and he won't let me out of training either

help!

 

[Hashmonster]

scratch that - just realised the joystick must have been held when i booted the machine up as link was slowly rotating!

A reset solved it \o/

Yes it is true to the Zelda series and just as enjoyable as Ocarina of Time. Also I love the look tbh

Im sure Im not showing off..I think
Ive never played a zelda game before and the hardest bit of the game I found was the first boss! I think the game gives you far too much health, at the end of the game I had 14 hearts and the last boss made me use a fairy once.

Im not saying the game was bad but probably could of been harder and challenging

does anyone know what happens if you play again after you complete it, as you get a new start save?

just a quick laugh

 

[sheepsteak]

I think one such bonus is being able to play again, wearing the blue outfit he wears at the beginning, all the way through the game

 

[north_star]

Great cartoon.

Thanks for the replies to my question... I'm convinced.... Off to the shops to buy the platinum bundle....

I never even considered a GC untill I saw Zelda coming out for it. I just spent £130 on all the new kit with Zelda. Plus so and so for a Memory Card.

Because of this I am now up till 4am and up about 10ish to carry on. The game is so adictive.

Ill be very honest, I havent had a game grip me like this since Metal Gear Solid. Zelda:WW certainly does deserve that 10/10.

Only thing after is to complete master quest after and from playing OOT on the N64 all them years ago I remember then the game too ages to finish. Still missing one spider and 3 quarters of a heart IIRC.

About completing the game with just normal clothes on. Is it worth it?

 

[sheepsteak]

There'll be some sickos who think it probably is

I haven't finished WW yet though so I don't know.

 

[Belle Donna]

im at the earth temple on WW, dunno if thats far or not but i just cant put it down

This is my 1st game for my GC and my 1st zelda game, but i prefer the new cell shaded look to ocarina's.
