1. Gotten around to playing Four Swords. Since that requires another person this isn't easy, but it's the only official game I still have yet to play.
2. Gotten around to finishing Link's Awakening DX. I've played the non-DX version enough times but never played at least the Color Dungeon, sheesh.
3. Gotten the Hylian Loach in Ocarina Of Time. Grrr. And then if it's there, I'd probably have to do it again in the Master Quest version.
4. Gotten all the Heart Pieces in Minish Cap. I probably have to start over, though.
5. Shot up that fish guy in every location in Wind Waker. Oh, and finishing the game in his pyjamas.
6. Gotten to Level 99 in Weapon Master Mode of Soul Calibur II. I'm not good at using Link, but he's useful in one stage for quickly throwing a guy over the edge. It still takes hundreds more of that to get to the highest Level, though...yipes.
7. Finished The Legend Of Zelda in Animal Crossing. It's harder than I remember, I guess I got too used to more fluid controls.
8. Finished Zelda II: The Adventure Of Link on the Colectors Edition Disc.
9. Finished the various challenges in SSBM with Link, Young Link, Ganondorf, and Zelda/Sheik. I don't remember, but there are probably some Multi-Man Melees left to do.
10. Tried that riddle/basket-capture thing or whatever in the GBA version of A Link To The Past. I forget what this is about but it's still something I ought to do.
11. Gotten a hold of The Legend Of Zelda cartoon DVD. And then I'd have to watch it.
12. Fixed my glitched copy of Super Smash Bros. so that I can select characters other than Mario (like, say, for example, Link) in any of the 1-P modes.
13. Finished the Game & Watch Zelda. I'd have to find it again, though. I bought it in really good condition...hope it still is. I could play the Game & Watch Gallery version on the GBA, but then I'd have to earn it first too.
14. Gotten a hold of the Japanese version of Four Swords Adventures just for Tetra's Trackers. Hope I'll be able to understand it, though.
15. Gotten a hold of the Game Watch Zelda, not to be confused with the Game & Watch Zelda. And then I'd have to finish it.
16. Gotten a hold of the CD-i games and a CD-i, and braving those three weird Zelda games on it.
See? Lots still to do. I think I've probably forgotten something in the Oracle games, too...

2. I never figured out how they expected you to find the color dungeon on your own, sinc eyou have to move certain gravestones a certain direction in a certain order. It was cool though, you get to choose between two groovy items at the end =o
3. THE LOACH. Forgot about the loach, I have to do that too.
4. There's so much stuff in Minish Cap, I don't think I'll ever finish it. It's like the WW figurine gallery, except MC has a gallery too, plus boatloads of other stuff.
5-13. Stuff
14. Oh I see, you WERE talking about the GBA four swords.
15. Stuff.
16. OH MY

If I ever did somehow get a hold of them, and if they're as bad as everyone says, then I will add to my list:
17. Hunt down those people that mishandled the Zelda license.

My wish list, though this won't actually happen casue I don't have time with all the other games i'm playing ><
1. Actually finish Majoras Mask (I'm very ashamed of this)
2. Actually finish Adventures of Link (Not so ashamed of this as it was crazy hard when I was a kid)
3. Now that I own both Oracle Games and Links Awakening DX, I'd like to finish those as well (Just bought them for the first time recently so I'm not so ashamed of this either)
4. Play WW in Link's street clothes and get all of the trophies/figures.
Aside: I would also like the Zelda cartoon box set too, but that isn't really game related.
Also, I beat the hell out of Minish Cap.. first Zelda game I've ever done that on. There is nothing left I can do in that game. I feel for you though Jon. I will admit that the only time I had to go for a FAQ when I was playing it was to find my last remaining heart piece.

Again, assuming you mean the LttP/Four Swords version, yeah, do this. It's fun. Honestly, I find it more fun that FSA's Hyrulean Adventure in Multi-Player - There's less co-op in Four Swords than FSA/HA - which means less "You do this, I'll do that" and more exploring/playing.
I have two copies, if you want to come over and play sometime.
2. Gotten around to finishing Link's Awakening DX. I've played the non-DX version enough times but never played at least the Color Dungeon, sheesh.
SINNER! Best Game Ever! Although the Color Dungeon was a disapointment, still.
BTW, KnowsNothing, there's a [spoilers]book in the Library that tells you [/spoilers] how to move the stones.
11. Gotten a hold of The Legend Of Zelda cartoon DVD. And then I'd have to watch it.
16. Gotten a hold of the CD-i games and a CD-i, and braving those three weird Zelda games on it.
These two could be the hardest things of all to do.
The Zelda Cartoon is on WalMart.com and two of the three CD-i games are pretty easy to get. The third, Zelda's Adventure was only released on small scale in parts of Europe... Good luck on that.
13. Finished the Game & Watch Zelda. I'd have to find it again, though. I bought it in really good condition...hope it still is. I could play the Game & Watch Gallery version on the GBA, but then I'd have to earn it first too.
You could always easily download a GBA Savefile to unlock the Zelda for you.
It's fun on the GBA.14. Gotten a hold of the Japanese version of Four Swords Adventures just for Tetra's Trackers. Hope I'll be able to understand it, though.
If you use the FAQ file on GameFAQs for Tetra's Trackers, you'll be able to stumble through it pretty easily.
15. Gotten a hold of the Game Watch Zelda, not to be confused with the Game & Watch Zelda. And then I'd have to finish it.
They're on eBay quite often... but they can get kinda expensive at time... (Get it? Watch? Time? ha! I kill me!)

I did that. It just starts over.
I also did the Nintendo Gallery.
I beat Wind Waker about as much as it could have been beaten.
Post by: JonLeung on January 30, 2006, 05:39:59 PM
I also probably didn't do all the sliding puzzles. Grrr.
I think it's the sailing part of Wind Waker that I really didn't like. If only they could have a 3D Zelda game with enemies crawling all over the landscape like the 2D games. Not like Hyrule's and Termina's open, empty fields in the N64 games or Wind Waker's mostly boring sea. I realize that it's far from easy and probably requires a lot of processing power, though. Maybe the Revolution Zelda can handle a bit more excitement on the overworlds.
Post by: animecyberrat on January 30, 2006, 07:24:26 PM
So I want to sit down and beat original NES Zelda 1 and 2 and then OOT and then I plan on buying Wind Waker in the next month or so and play that all the way through just so I can get prepped for TP.
Other than that I dont have much else I need to do Zelda related. I do however plan on buying some new games for my DS and whatever I can find for GC that I still havent played yet.

QuoteHow about finish the second quest in the original Legend of Zelda? I've never done that, either.
The wait for Twilight Princess might give me some time to catch up on Zelda stuff. I'm a huge Zelda fan and even for me there are things I haven't yet done:

1. Play through Majora's Mask (started last night, in fact)
2. Get the rest of the figurines in Wind Waker
3. Buy/play Minish Cap (may do this before/during the figurine quest)
4. Play a little bit of all the Zelda games I already own
5. Beat Adventures of Link (ha ha, yeah right)
6. Buy/play Four Swords Adventures (could happen)
7. Buy/play the Oracles games (about as likely as beating Adventures of Link).

If I didn't have so many other Zelda-related things to do for the first time, I would want to finish these a second time at some point. (Well, some games like The Legend of Zelda in Animal Crossing and Zelda II on the Collectors Edition disc I thought I finished at some point on the NES, but they made the list...I guess I'm not consistent...)

I need to actually beat Majoras Mask...I'm currently stuck in the Goron Ice Temple thing....
It'd be nice to beat OOT and WW again, and I probably need to finish the Master Quest.
I also need to find EVERY LAST KINSTONE in Minish Cap...I think I have one left, and I refuse to beat the game until I find it.
I have up on the Hylian Loach long ago...
Alas...I'm going to have to wait until the Rev comes out before I can play any of the GB Zelda games, as I don't have the money to buy a GB compatible type game, and I'm hoping they will let you download GB games. I've heard Bill praise Links Awakening over and over, so I'd like to se what all the fuss is about.
And...erm....
I think thats it.
Worms DS and KH2 should also do well to tide me over.

All those who said "it looks too much like OoT" and/or "I don't get the time system" need to shut up and actually play it.
Unfortunately, I don't have the cartridge...I beat it on a rental but didn't actually "have" it until I got the Zelda Collectors Edition Disc. I beat it again there.
Why didn't they make all of the Zelda cartridges and discs gold?

Oh, at first I didn't understand this but now I see how you misunderstood my probably unclear question.
I didn't mean, "why isn't every copy a gold edition (of the games that have them)?" but rather "why don't all games have a gold version?"
You guys have pointed out that Majora's Mask is gold-ish despite my bad memory here, but I don't think all of the games are gold. I don't recall the Game Boy games being gold, but feel free to prove me wrong.
Post by: mantidor on February 07, 2006, 06:01:38 AM
I thought that gold cratridges were only if you preorder, which made a very happy man when I got Majora's Mask and to my surprise it was the gold one, I thought it was impossible to get a gold one over here.
but now that I think about it, did the Wind Waker have not-gold disks?
Post by: Hostile Creation on February 07, 2006, 06:24:31 AM
"temple minibosses ROCKED"
This is, in all honesty, my biggest disappointment in regards to Wind Waker. I wanted special mini-bosses.
Luckily, it appears as though they might be making a return for Twilight Princess

Link's Awaking (The best damn game ever made) had multiple releases, but most important is the grey cart (regular version) and black cart (DX version)
LttP had two major releases, with and without the "Player's Choice" logo on the label - but both grey carts.
