    You can't tell me there are no Zelda whores around here. It's coming soon, and reviews have been good.

    Reviews have been good? Nintendo could put a turd in a case, call it Zelda and be praised as geniuses. I've been sick of that series since Majora's Mask. (Which was better than Ocarina of Time btw)

    That said, I'll probably still get it in the desperate hope for some actual innovation in a nostalgia filled series of my childhood.

    What the fuck is wrong with you?

    Really looking forward to Skyward Sword, the various reviews with their high praise are getting my hopes up again.

    Majora's Mask was the best Zelda game of all time. OF ALL TIME.

    Majora's Mask sucked donkey balls compared to Ocarina. Seriously. WTF is wrong with you?

    In my defense I mean better than usual. They're suggesting there's been a lot of fresh changes. Of course media site reviews can always be called into question, but we'll see.

    I'm just going to say one thing about Majora's mask...leaving the game running for twenty minutes because you caught all the stupid kids on day one. Other than that, as far as dungeons and side quests go, yeah sure.

    /but I still like OoT more, for some reason

    Never played MM. It was never in the bargain bin all those years back. I know enough to get the references though. >_>

    I loved Twilight Princess. I'm sure this will be fun when I get around to playing it.

    Wow... it looks like Link does some really hardcore... walking?

    Wii's hack+slash reaction thing ruined the Zelda games. Where are the fights that require shooting exploding mice creatures into the path of giant rolling lizards. What happened to spanking shit with your oversized hammer?

    ~snip~

    Also wut?

    EDIT: Ok, fine, you don't have to wait quite that long with the scarecrow. But there's still waiting involved. Which still breaks game flow. So nyah.

    And please note, I was talking about the beginning, -before you have the ocarina back.

    Pre-ordered the special edition that comes with a CD with the 25th anniversary symphony concert. Awesome.

    Such a Zelda fag it's not even funny (if avatar/sig aren't obvious enough). Just read IGN's review; I don't care if people think it's exaggerated or whatever; excitement/anticipation just shot through roof. Although saying that "Ocarina of Time has met its match" are heavy words. Either way it's gonna be epic, using the word in its literal sense.

    I've enjoyed all of the Zelda games except Wind Waker (I thought it was a piece of cartoon shit).

    I'm looking forward to Skyward Sword (already pre-ordered), but I feel like they have regressed in the graphics. Twilight Princess was so gritty and real... and this looks like a merger of that with the Wind Waker graphics.

    Fucking sucks... but it might be better once I get into it.

    We'll see...

    Just read that IGN review... Holy freaking shit. If it's even 1/10th as good as they say it is, I'm going to have the biggest nerdgasm ever.

    Skyward sword looks good from what little I have seen. I have always enjoyed Zelda games, my favorite being Ocarina of Time and Link's Awakening. I specifically got a Wii to play Twilight Princess. Unfortunately, I don't have a Wii anymore so I don't anticipate playing Skyward Sword anytime soon. :( I just don't feel purchasing the Wii again just to play SS is worth it.

    Well I just got it. I blew some extra money for the special edition. The 25th orchestra soundtrack is nice.

    I'll be playing it soon, so I'll let you know what I think after.

    I played about an hour or so, just long enough to get the sword and tunic. Pretty fun so far. I'll definitely play more, I'm just kinda tired (and watching MLG.)
