Does Tingle cross the Time Space Barrier to be in this Game?
No
Are there Great Fairies? Are they still Hot?
Not that I saw.
Is there a Magic System? (I don't remember seeing one in the screens)
Nope
How many different types of ways did you have to hold th Wiimote with the Different Items?
It never gets absurd. Actually, the game doesn't even fully use the pointer for aiming. I lazily played it with my hands facing away from the TV for a few minutes, and outside of doing it in reverse, it worked.
Are Rupees important or do the go to quick irrevelants like in other games?
It depends on how much you get into crafting and forging
Is stealth optional?
There is a token stealth section, but it's actually really good. I can't talk details, but I kind of felt like Link was Solid Snake. Awesome moment.
Does the game have a New Game+ Mode?
Yes. It's called Hero Mode. I'm not 100% sure what the differences are, and I can't go into detail on it until the game's release day.
Did the story keep you going till the end or did it peter out in the middle like TP or get delayed ridiculous long by a stupid set of fetching like WW?
It's coherent, which seems weird, but I honestly didn't know what the hell was going on in TP. There were like clone Links or something? I don't even know.
The cut scene direction is rather good. Dialog is fantastic.
How big are the areas?
They're not gigantic, but they're dense.
Can you make any non-scripted lasting changes to an area? (Like cutting down a sign and it stay cut or look like someone repaired it when you come back.)
Not that I could tell.
Did you ever feel a need to use the upgrade system? (I've heard reports that it is fully optional in a way.)
It's optional, but you'll likely want to upgrade your shield(s).
Is the game Linear? (In other words there are a certian order you must do about everything. Like taking out bosses traditional or more Mega Man style?)
It seems to be linear. I'm not sure if you can do stuff out of order. It might have a moment like in OoT where you can do Spirit or Shadow.
Did you encounter any slowdown or glitching from the system being pushed harder then it probably should have been?
It was smooth like butter (also, not dual layer disc)
Do enemies still com 1 at a time to engage or were you mobbed a lot?
Yes and no. It kind of varies. You don't get swarmed, but more than one guy will attack you at once.
Were there many duplicate items? (Like the Bow is essentially an upgrade to the Slingshot in OoT.)
Sort of. The example you gave is true here, too.
What was the difficulty curve like?
Gentle.
Shadow Link?
Negative
Are there Pigs in the game?
What about Chickens? Do they get angry and Maim you?
Not that I saw.
Any just plain silly dungeons or is it intense the whole time?
It's generally intense, but there's always light hearted stuff.
When will we be seeing the Floodgates of Info opening?
Friday is review day. I think we can talk about the second act of the game then. Then, final embargo is up on release day.
