i dont know how to do the link thing so there is the address. It says that there are 7 or 8 zelda games on there. Can anyone confirm or deny this? It also has new information concerning gameplay of the disc.

If you come to these boards, you should be gettin it anyway. It's $20 bucks or somtin for a year.
It all goes down after tomorrow, when you can subscribe and choose the collecters edition disk as your free gift.
That's how I'm doin it.
Post by: The King of red Lions on November 16, 2003, 02:05:46 PM
It's not a documentary, it's a very, very short retrospective montage of footage from 4 or 5 games.
Besides, why would you be gettin it for that. You should be gettin it for the 4 zelda games, all in one place, all on one system.

I don't get Nintendo Power. But I might get Mario Party 5, or do something that is quite possibly illegal. Whatever. I'm not really that concerned about it, it'd just be nice to have.

I'm not really a fan of the newer Nintendo Power, as they cater to the younger crowds. (On second thought, they ALWAYS catered to the younger crowd, I just got older, and refused to grow with me.) But since its a relitively cheaper option than two games or a 'cube, it might be my only option. Mario Kart's in the bag, but the other titles don't float my boat. I've been itching for Secret of Mana on the Gba for a loooong time, I'm not going to substitute for Superstar Saga.
Oh well, I can think of it this way. I paid 20 or so dollars for the game and I just so happen to get a subscription which I can cancel

I might get Mario Kart, I heard it got bad reviews and I read them. So I dunno. 1080, plays really well and it is fun, but I am owried about the real game and whethere it is going to be fun. Mario Luigi, is a little bit boring, I have played it and I would consider a different game like Sword of Mana. Mario Party 5is a joke, it will never beat #2.
Anyway, at least I am finally gonna be able to beat Zelda2. My uncle has it for the NES, but the battery is shot and you can't save, so I have never gotten past the 3 castle.

TWO bad reviews, and that's only if you count a 7.9 as bad, which it isn't. Go to Game Rankings and read the reviews THEY have- everything else has given it above a 9.0. Hell, EGM gave a 10, 10, 9.5.

You won't be dissappointed with Majora's Mask, it is my favorite Zelda game. It is maybe a tab bit short in lenght but not in excitement. The time of day thing might be confusing for some people but I had no problem with it, in fact, it was great cause you knew what was going to happen that day, kinda like Groundhogs Day, but with Link and milk bars.
Although there is a disclaimer before playing MM on the bonus disk, it says there will be sounds of hiccups or delays of whatnot, but I dunno, well see how much it hurts.

A GB Player is as worth owning as a GBA itself. In fact since it's cheaper is arguably even more worth it unless portability is really important to you. For three games yes it's worth it.
I've made the mistake of putting Mario Kart on my birthday/Christmas list so the earliest I can get it is December 1 (my birthday) and in a worst case scenario I can't buy it for myself until after Christmas in case someone else has bought it for me. If I get really desperate I'll go the Nintendo Power route for the disc. I hope Nintendo made a lot of these discs because I'm going to be royally pissed off if they run out before I can get it.

Me: "Hi"
Clerk: "Hey there's no price on this. I'll have to ask the manager."
Manager: "Oh we can't sell that seperately. You have to buy a Gamecube."
Me: "But I already have a Gamecube."
Manager: "Well then TOUGH SH!T LOSER!! HA HA HA HA!"
Okay I made up the last line but it could have happened and that's what's important. Anyway I'm planning on checking out some other locations in the next few days. I can confirm that not all stores have them only in the Cube boxes so that's worth knowing.
Post by: Hostile Creation on November 19, 2003, 04:18:55 PM
However, this means that I'll probably get Mario and Luigi Supersaga (even though it is an RPG, I know. . .), so I'll probably end up getting this demo disc. So it applies to this thread. Yay.

In Europe outside of the Mario Kart bundle...
You can only get it via NOE's online store star catalog...
Which means you have to save up 4500 stars...
Which means at 250 stars per registered game...
I'd have to register about 18 Nintendo games!
Now I'm a big fan and all, but that's just insane
To top it off, the Zelda compilation disc will only be available in limited quantities in the star catalog. And it doesn't even come with it's own case nor cover. I don't think I've ever felt this screwed over before over something that's free

I already have my own disc on the way, so it's not like I am trying to rip you off. If you would like, you can get the disc sent to one of my aliases, Clyde Arrowny.

I guess maybe this was a mistake and, if so, I hope it follows through and I actually get the disc. I was eventually either going to buy MP5 or M&L and I still will, but now I might get the disc a lot sooner than I expected.

http://server4.uploadit.org/files/211103-mail.jpg <----------My Email from nintendo telling me they are sending the disc

It appears Nintendo did not think it was fair for people who bought a gamecube earlier (like 2 weeks ago and later) did not get a zelda disc and the people who buy the system now for the same price get one. In order to make it fair to all they allow you to get the disc by simply registering your Gamecube. This way, as long as you bought a gamecube, you dont miss out on the FREE disc. If you register a brand new gamecube that came with a zelda disc you will not recieve another one

For those of you that got the disc by ordering a subscription, just go to your subscription page and it will say that your subscription came with the disc and when it shipped.
I just ordered a subscription online, and they had a huge list of free things from which I could choose one to be shipped with my first copy. One of those things was the Zelda Collector's Edition, so I went ahead and selected that. Maybe people who mail in a subscription get it by default.

Hello,
Thank you for registering your Nintendo GameCube at Nintendo.com.
We wanted to make you aware of an error in our product registration
program. In order to qualify for the Zelda collector's disc, we
requested that two software titles be registered in addition to a
Nintendo GameCube system. However, due to a programming error, you
received an e-mail letting you know that you had qualified for the
Zelda collector's disc before all required products had been
registered.
We wanted to let you know that despite the error, we have gone ahead
and sent you the disc as stated in our e-mail. It was sent via the
postal service and should be received in 3-5 days.
If you haven't yet registered any software titles, please be sure to
do so in order to be eligible for future promotions that are in the
works at Nintendo!
Thank you.
Nintendo of America
Hahaha! dude, they screwed up!! but I'm still getting the disc! YAY!!
It doesn't matter though because I'm expecting Mario Kart: DD and Mario & Luigi any day now.

I didn't want to exploit a glitch because I've actually bought both games too (they are on their way). And I'm gonna register them both when I get them.
And since I'm in France, I should have them in a few days, not like my bonus disc that should arrive at a friend's in California and then be shipped again to me.

1. Ask them to email you your password. Just type it in where it tells you to on the login page. They will send you a temporary password.
2. Open your email and copy the password. Paste it to the password area. For me this didn't work at first, but the password HAD to be right, so I pushed the send button a few times and finally it worked.
3. Now you MUST change your password and that's the only thing they let you do so do that.
4. Enjoy
If anyone knows why I can't register my Cube, I would appreciate the help.

I also got an email today from NOA saying they're sending me (sent) a disc via First Class Mail because I registered enough games to qualify (MKDD + 1080). Does this mean I'm getting 2 discs now?

Post by: Gibdo Master on December 08, 2003, 10:58:34 AM
The e-mail said that if I get both disks I should send one of them back to them. My question is what could they do to me if I didn't? I would really like to give the second one to my niece since my brother is too lazy to sign her up for a NP subscription even though she's had one before. The more evil thing I would do is make a quick sixty or so bucks by selling it on ebay. I figured the worse thing Nintendo could do is not send me my NP subscriptions until I send the disk back or something like that. Of course how could they know if I get both disks anyway?
Post by: Ian Sane on December 08, 2003, 11:16:40 AM
Of course they don't really know that you're Gibdo Master since you likely used your real name for your subscription.
Maybe they never sent you the first disc period and are just saying they'll send a second because that sounds better than "DUH We forgot to send you the disc." Considering they messed up the registration process it's possible that they goofed on the shipping as well. That could explain why so many of us haven't got the disc yet. Of course the post office being swamped with all sorts of Christmas stuff is a more likely reason.
I too haven't got my disc yet but it's not two weeks for me until Wednesday so I'll be nice and give them until the end of the week.

They are sending me another, and I WILL return it. This whole Zelda collection was generous of NOA to do, especially sending the "backup" disc without any proof that I didnt recieve the original, and I am not going to be one of the losers that tries get take for anything I can.
Then again, it makes you think they have literally millions of copies that 'need' liquidate in a certain time.
Maybe they will use in a press release after the holiday season "20 million Zelda disc were shipped during the holiday period, and sony can suck it" type thing.
Either way, thanks to NOA for making this Zelda thing happen.

I called Friday to see what's up with my disc, and they offered to send another. Naturally, the disc arrived Saturday morning, and now I feel like a jerk. After all, it's not Nintendo's fault that the USPS takes three weeks to ship something cross-country.
But, I got my disc and I am happy.
I saw in the manual that there's something screwy with the sound in Majora's Mask. How bad is it? Having never played it, I was hoping to take advantage of this opportunity.

The "history of Zelda" video is a huge disappointment. The barebones approach to it is annoying enough but what really pissed me off is that they f*cked up the order of the games. They put the Oracle games before Majora's Mask even though MM came out in 2000 and the Oracle games came out in 2001. I mean it's pretty f*cking simple to figure out which game came out first. I hate it when Nintendo themselves can't even get this sort of stuff straight. It's the "Metroid came out in 1989" SSBM trophy all over again. If I was in charge of NOA I would be a huge stickler over that sort of thing.

The PSX port was a disaster. The load times, and the HORRIBLE sound really killed the game. That kind of stuff is tolerable from a free game, but not when you are expected to pay for it.
That being said, I think I FAR prefer the N64 version of Majora's Mask. The GCN version gives me a headache.
I just got my disc today. Ordered it as soon as it came out in Canada (well... a couple days late, but only because the games were late).

Majora's Mask three times (Once on N64, twice on Cube)
Buahahahahahahaha!!! More... more... I need more...

Post by: Gibdo Master on December 19, 2003, 02:31:30 PM
Something else I think is completely stupid is that the game makers didn't put in anyway for you to warp to different areas in the over-world. It's just too hard to have to start at the North Castle each time you want to play considering how large the map is and how hard it is to get from one end to the other. Another thing that makes the game difficult is Link's short attack range. If they would have doubled the length of his sword and thrown in some warps in the over-world this game would have been much easier and more enjoyable.
I do have a lot of respect for the game though. Even though it is the black sheep of the Zelda series it was the first game to implement a lot of things that now have to be in a Zelda game. Things like the towns, more interaction with the characters, and the use of magic. There's probably more than that but that's all I can think of right now.

Worst. Miyamoto game. Evar.
Also, none of you truly own all the Nintendo made Zelda games unless you own Game & Watch Gallery 4, since it includes the Zelda G&W game. It's pretty good, and actually has some depth, relatively speaking.

That bugs me in both games. It's an irritating problem in Zelda 1 as well since all Link does is a sissy little stab so you have to be like right next to an enemy to hit him. Why couldn't they just make it Link SWINGS his sword in both games? Other NES games have done it so it's certainly not a hardware restriction thing. If they ever make an updated remake I hope they change the sword attack from a stab to a swing.

if they did that people would be complaining that they made the game too easy and they shouldn't mess with classics.
would you like them to add an *umph* everytime link attacks, too?
Post by: Ian Sane on December 22, 2003, 11:32:47 AM
I'm talking about if they made a remake where they completely redid the graphics and sound and maybe added some new dungeons or items. It would be sort of like the Resident Evil remake. I don't want any voice samples though. Man those always suck.
I wouldn't have a problem with these changes because the original is available on the Cube unchanged. I have no problem with reworking or remaking a classic provided they allow you to also play the original. I think the Super Mario Advance games should have allowed you to play it either in the new format or exactly as it was on the NES.

I really hope that when Wind Waker 2 is released they have another pre-order bonus disk with just Majora's Mask with all of these problems fixed. Normally I wouldn't expect Nintendo to do that but Ocarina of Time has been released on two bonus disks so it's not impossible. As a note I have the N64 version but after playing the Zelda games with the higher resolution I refuse to play them on my N64. The N64 versions have such horrible resolution I get sick from looking at the screen and it gives me headaches.

Seeing as they've got the original source code they could always port it over instead of getting cute with emulators.

The funny part of it is that they warn you when the game is loading up that there are problems with the sound when that is the least of the game's problems. Why didn't they also mention there was some nasty slow down in some areas and it has a tendency to freeze?

That's not necessarily true, especially for a 3d game that's rasterized in hardware.
I believe someone even went so far as to extract the OoT ROM from the Gamecube disc, which seems like fairly conclusive proof that the game is emulated.

Learn to use your shield properly. Even if it means practising on guys with arrows or whatever, it'll be worth it. Save your money, there is an expensive item that will reduce the damage you take by half. Most of all, try to be sure you're in the right dungeon. You can aimlessly wander into one that is way to hard and that you don't even have the items to complete. If one dungeon seems to ramp up the learning curve too much, just go searching for another one.

Ocarina of Time was one of the greatest ever made in 1998. Still is today. Ocarina of Time is arguably best Zelda ever, and best ever. I can find almost no faults, and will forever be cherished as a classic. However, LTTP is also my number 1 Zelda ever, and favorite of all time (along with Metroid Prime). I love OOT (the ) even more, especially after it being re-released. All 9 dungeons were SO enjoyable. Inside the Deku Tree, Dodongo's Cavern, Jabu-Jabu's Belly, Forest Temple, Fire Temple, Water Temple, Shadow Temple, Spirit Temple, and Ganon's Tower. From beginning to end a classic. Near perfection.
Majora's Mask had a live up to, from the (IMHO) near-perfect OOT and LTTP. It didn't quite live up to either, but is still a near-classic and is a solid entry into the Zelda series. The lack of dungeons, the foolish focusing on side-quests made it (like tWW) seem rushed. Other than several major and minor flaws, Majora's Mask is worth playing and is one of the best N64 . The three-day system was sheer genius. The four dungeons were all long and engaging- Woodfall Temple, Snowhead Temple, Great Bay Temple, and Stone Tower Temple. The came out and some loved it even more than OOT.

I dunno, I actually enjoyed the sidequests MORE than the main quest in Majora's Mask. I liked going on these missions to help out other people, just to see how their stories would turn out.

Actually, no I don't. You are entitled to your opinion; although I strongly disagree with it.

1. Ocarina of Time
2. Majora's Mask
3. A Link to the Past
4. Wind Waker
Post by: Berny on January 17, 2004, 09:14:01 AM
1. Any game (or anything RESEMBLING a game) with the words "The Legend of Zelda" in the title, WW being the first among equals.
Silly Octavian. He's trickys with his words. False he is.

VERY hard though. I don't know what happened but when Zelda went into 3D it got REALLY easy.

tWW was very rushed, and it is so obvious. OoT is much more memorable. Like when I walked out of the Temple of Time and seeing Hyrule Market Town in ruins.
And dungeons, OoT had 9 dungeons, while tWW had 5. OoT had twice more.
tWW was not as good as either OoT or MM, IMHO. It just didn't live up to them.
There, now that should spark a debate!
Post by: mouse_clicker on January 18, 2004, 07:38:34 AM
While I do prefer both OoT and MM to WW, I have to say, the first time I entered Hyrule Temple in Wind Waker, where everything was black and white and frozen, and then walked out of the Temple in the back, I was blown away. That, along with the ending to Ico, is one of the most memorable videogame sequences I think I will ever experience.
Post by: Smashman on January 18, 2004, 10:41:37 AM
Anyways, tWW is so great, yet so flawed, and could have easily blown away OoT if only it had a few more dungeons and a bit harder.

I remember at one point, thinking "I need to save the world.........after Im done fishing.

OoT is still my favorite game of all-time. All other Zeldas bow down to it. AHAHAHAHAHA!
