Bought myself Link's awakening seeing as I no longer have a full time job and I've got a soft spot for Oracle of Ages/Seasons. Apparently I can't cope with too many dimensions as I'm still utterly pathetic at the N64 games after years of practise :frown: Woe.


If you've never played it before, you're in for a treat :biggrin:

I'm the opposite, I'm terrible at the 2D ones (not the ones on the DS though) but I'm alright at the 3D ones :tongue:

I also seem to be better at the 3D ones. :tongue:

I did used to love the old Oracle of Ages/Seasons though. :biggrin:

As soon as I've finished my exams and essays (I have 2 exams and 2 more essays to do) I will be going through Majora's Mask again :sogood:


I shamefully havn't completed Majoras Mask yet. I think I should change that sometime soon :redface:
Majora's Mask is my favourite one and I've played all besides ONE of the CDi ones; Zelda's Quest. Yes, I have Gamelon'd the hell out of my brain in the interest of science, for real.

Majora's Mask has some of the most deep, emotional, adult themes in ANY Zelda game; forget the ones that do that pseudo Lord of the Rings "mature but not really mature" crap like Twilight Princess; talk about the emotional turmoil of a man due to marry his beloved before the moon crushes earth but is trapped in the body of a young boy. Now THAT's good eatins.

Ooh it is pretty good int it?

The only thing I've found though is that the bosses (so far) seem to be a lot easier than the other GBC games in terms of 'method' if you get what I mean. Like, there seems to be a lot of 'have at it with yer sword before it can do anything'.
Then again maybe I'm speaking too soon. It is a delightful little thing :smile:
Ghirahim really filled my heart with rainbows.

I'm a bonafide Zelda fan (I went to the 25th Anniversary symphony in Hammersmith) but I though Syward Sword was mediocre compared to the other 3D games.

Ghirahim was one of the best charcters ever. Loved him. While I absolutely loved Skyward Sword I do feel it was a little linear in sections. For example, find 3 of said thing, go to the sky, find 3 more things, go to the sky etc.
The locations were really interesting and beautiful, though. I loved when Faron Woods got flooded.

Can't wait for HD Zelda on the WiiU *drools*

Those of us hoping for some Zelda news from E3, here's Miyamoto's comment: http://uk.ign.com/articles/2012/06/08/e3-2012-miyamoto-talks-zelda-wii-u
"Still in R&D with a number of different experiments going on" ...so we'll be waiting a fair while, I guess :sad:

Also, I'm rather late to find it, but look at what IGN thought to be the greatest ever videogame weapon :biggrin: http://uk.ign.com/videos/2012/03/30/1-the-master-sword-legend-of-zelda-igns-top-100-video-game-weapons

I would've thought they'd've had something for the 3DS, though, if only MM.

I said I'd post when the time came and the time has come.

You need to make an account at one of these sites and payment is either by Paypal or Credit Card. Shipping should be by either SAL (2-5 weeks) or EMS (3-5 days, also HMRC's best friend). May seem like a lot for one 6" action figure of Link if you factor in the price of approx £21+shipping for a figure if you've never bought one before; but considering how expensive crap, non-articulated versions are, this is still a bargain if you're a first time buyer.

Already ordered one. May order some extras.

I was going to link to Samus as well since her action figure went up for a second round of pre-orders. But that sold out within half an hour.

That's enough viral marketing from me. Don't feel pressured into spending money you wouldn't otherwise spend. But it's a nice opportunity to actually get some Zelda merchandise that isn't £100+ or complete crap.

Such as this:

(edited 11 years ago)
Skyward Sword is £14.99 in Argos delivery or collection:
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Search/searchTerms/SKYWARD+SWORD.htm

£31.99 at currys and pcworld:
http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/nintendo-the-legend-of-zelda-skyward-sword-for-wii-11487993-pdt.html
http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/nintendo-the-legend-of-zelda-skyward-sword-for-wii-11487993-pdt.html

Can do a pricematch and 10% of the difference to get it for £13.29.

I rang up to do the price match and the guy said he'd phone back in 20 after he'd checked but he didn't bother. Went in store to do it instead, and took them ages to check argos price and kept whispering to each other he's right, it is £14.99 (duh, that's why I said). Anyway once we'd established that, they tried to do the same price, I pointed out the 10% of difference off, it then took two members of staff to minus, £14.99 from £31.99, which they came up with £16 instead of £17, but it took them so long I didn't want to start all over again, took a bit longer for them to work out what 10% of £16 was. Then 3 attempts and me correcting them on what £14.99 minus £1.60 was.

Got the game for £13.39 in the end (due to their bad maths). I wish I'd paid £14.99 and avoided that shocking experience. However, if your local store has employees with a basic grasp of primary school maths then you can get a good deal, if not, Argos at £14.99 is good anyway.

Apparently Argos is reduced as it's been re-released without the bonus cd (Argos and pcworld/currys both have this atm).

Best Zelda game ever.
Majora's Mask is undoubtedly the deepest, most mature and complex Zelda game to date, and my personal favourite. All of them have their plus points, from the sheer freedom of the original, the sense of discovery in Link's Awakening, the beautiful multiple states of the Oracles games, the unique controls of Phantom Hourglass and the sheer sense of characterisation of Wind Waker. But for me, it is the sense of inevitability, impending destiny, the tragedy of death and love unrequited, of doomed relationships and forgotten heroes that Majora's Mask has, and no other Zelda has since equalled.

SKRAT! HEIT! SEET! YAHHH!
