And you?
He'll arrive January 10th in USA.november 12th in Europe (I'm european,yahoo héhé
)...it's strange too...
Post by: Bill Aurion on August 26, 2004, 10:30:07 AM
Yes, I am very much awaiting this title...Mainly because I'm a Zelda whore... ^_^
The kinstone idea sounds really intriguing, and I hope it's been implemented cleverly within the game, but I trust Flagship since they did the Oracles games...
I also hope to see plenty of cameos and perhaps a little backstory(that is, if the game is a direct sequel to Wind Waker like I assume)

Well, then I say "No" just to screw over those who didn't buy it...
Post by: Ian Sane on September 20, 2004, 09:54:27 AM
I did buy it... tens year ago or so.
It seems perfectly reasonable for them to do this since they had Mario Bros included with Mario & Luigi, which allowed people to get that multiplayer game with a non-port.
Post by: MysticGohan24 on September 21, 2004, 09:53:23 PM
I wonder what the Zelda DS will look like? if it's anything like four swords on GC I'm sold. The 2D sprites we're damn sexy. I'd like to see more of that, and with DS being wireless, it would be easier to get multiplayer going on.
Post by: couchmonkey on October 08, 2004, 07:02:55 AM
My personal nit-pick: I hope the King doesn't become a permanent character in the Zelda series. I thought he was a neat addition to the Wind Waker, but it just seems more..."traditional" for him to be a faceless character lurking in the background. But that seriously shouldn't hurt the game.

Now how am I supposed to buy 4 games in 2 weeks?

Of course there might be nothing more to the American version and it's just a trick to stop importers.

*Two months later*
Nintendo is proud to announce the release of The Legend of the Zelda: The Minish Cap featuring exclusive super powers. Yes if you buy this game you will magically gain super powers which you can use to terrorize Europe and Japan who have no powers. HA!

I always wait for this game. It looks awesome, sounds awesome. Come swiftly, January.

Do you ever post something that isn't negative?

That's positive... for us North Americans.

Post by: Ian Sane on November 15, 2004, 07:25:11 AM
Top 3 Zelda game EVER. That's some really high praise though I could see anti-3D types thinking that. Still even ignoring the 3D games that's pretty sweet. And best GBA ever isn't too shabby either (though the competition isn't quite as fierce in that category).

Maybe the new additions in the US version will reduce the number of times you get stuck?
Post by: Bill Aurion on December 06, 2004, 05:31:31 AM
"Lots of treasures to collect" and "Short-lived" seem contradictory...I'd like some clarification...
"Enemies are generally too easy to beat"
Like in every Zelda game?
You will get stuck too often
A Zelda vet NEVER gets stuck...
And those pros heavily outweigh the cons, so I think the end score was a little too strict...

That might have something to do with the fact that it was the first Zelda game i played (and beat).
Post by: Hostile Creation on January 06, 2005, 01:50:20 PM
I was going to get a game today, but apparently this game doesn't come out until later, either later this month or February, I'm not sure which. I suppose that's good, though, since I still have to beat Kirby.

Oh well, doesn't alter its qualities!

But I'm here commenting on Link's Awakening. It is definitley the best 2D handheld Zelda , which I am confident in saying even if I haven't played Minish Cap. It's quite possibly the best Zelda game ever, but it's teetering with OoT (srrylttp). Also, CHEN, I get stuck in Eagle's Tower every time I play through the game. Obviously it's not a permenant dilema, but I usually have to spend a long time on the orbs/pillars.
Post by: Hostile Creation on January 28, 2005, 05:27:54 PM
As for Link's Awakening, it's probably my favorite ever, too (though Wind Waker is damn close). I'm not sure of Minish Cap, I'll see.
And I also get stuck in Eagle's Tower every time. Huh.

Kinstones are freaking awesome, although it's kind of weird when one kinstone leads you to another. Kinda feel ripped off =\ The figurines are, thank god, easier to aquire than in WW. And I was seriously jumping for joy when I saw the secret seashells ='DI think the only thing keeping this game from surpassing LA is the amount of dungeons (hay Bill, notice I didn't say "length"
). LA had 8 of 'em, which is the perfect amount. Not too much, not too little.
Post by: Bill Aurion on January 30, 2005, 06:30:48 PM
(Oh, and KN, your green kinstones are random kinstones that lead you to more valuable blue and red kinstones...Red and blue kinstones lead you to more important things like heart pieces)
Post by: Hostile Creation on January 30, 2005, 06:43:30 PM
Secret Seashells?!
My anticipation meter is off the scales.
Post by: Hostile Creation on February 12, 2005, 09:16:02 PM
The figurines are easier to acquire, but there are a lot more, too. So the time it's taking me is almost the same (with Wind Waker being a bit harder, obviously). I will get them all, though.
I have more kinstone pieces than I know what to do with, though. I have a feeling that I'm going to go for 100% completion in this, or at least something very close.

Also, did they ever release high res versions of the art from the credits? I'd love to get my hands on that.

I'm just looking for the last kinstones now, about four. I can't think of anyone else that I haven't talked to, though, and I can't imagine I missed anyone.

The methods for getting the figures in WW and MC should have been switched. Pictures would have worked well in MC's smaller world.
