I have it reserved.

I almost ordered it from Japan, but I don't have any money, and I can't read Japanese. XD

So, until October first, I'm going to be waiting. ...Or sometime in August, then I'll get Loveless 6 and then re-read it for another two months.

Yeah, I don't even have a DS. I think everybody can figure it out from there.

I have it reserved.  Now I just need to make sure I have the money for when it comes out.  Maybe if I beg, the GameStop I reserved it at will hire me.  Filling out the application and turning it in wouldn't hurt, of course.

I've been looking forward to this game far more than I've been "looking forward" to TP, so, YES! I really want this game. But right now, my eyes are set on Tingle RPG, which should be out in 1.5 month.

I accidentally voted already have it. Because I don't know what I'll do.

Hopefully, I'm importing it when it comes out in America, it will probably take another 4+ months for a european release date.

That's a good idea. It's a good thing the DS doesn't have any region blockers.

The release date in Europe and Australia is about December... not too long, two months. ^^;

Ooh, I didn't know that, that's weird since it's quite text heavy.
I'll still import it anyway, I cant wait for this game!

I'll get it close to it's release date.  Maybe I'll see whether Jack will allow me to write articles and submit to the site.

Well, it came out on Monday here in North America, but it wasn't at GameStop until Tuesday. So I'm getting it tonight. JOY!!! ;D

Got it last night. Not nearly as epic as say LttP, TP, or even OoT, but compared to non-Zelda games, so far(first dungeon) 6/10(being harsh).

I got it on the second!!!;D;D(it didn't come out until 2 were I live.)

It's not that good.  Even though I hate Cel-shading with an ungodly passion, I would prefer WW to this... :(

I really like it. Much less linear than TP, kinda goin back to basics. Graphics are good for what they are. It's clever too. And the controls rock.

got it TODAY :]]]

I got it on Wednesday. It's awesome! Actually, Ciela is probably the least annoying fairy sidekick ever.

I got it Tuesday. (: Love it so far, except for that blasted Temple of the Ocean King.

It's great! It isn't complicated, but it's clever. Where TP was more of a generic, mainstream game, PH is all creativity and ingeniuety. And it's hard in a differnet way. You aren't usually gonna get killed by one big enemy, but by being worn down, by lots of weak ones or running out of time with the hourglass. I just beat the second dungeon. And I don't think twelve minutes will be enough. The second time(ten minutes), I had no time left and was running on hearts at the end. Sailing is fun. Ciela seems like a naive, yet realistic person. And your loot hunting companion Lineback is great, and somewhat funny. All the best parts of Zelda are brought together for this. LAND AND SEA OCTOROKS(and one flying one) NOW THATS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
And there are references to WW. Like this golden frog that rides on cyclones says that he's the only frog that does that(and his mustache looks like cyclos' eybrows). And in the Northwest seas there is a soldier dressed really simliar to Link, that sails in the Prince of Red Lions(which looks familiar... but that beard...) and calls himself the Hero.

The guy on the Prince of Red Lions also has a brother who wants to be a guard. He gets attacked by retarded miniblins. :D

"The best thing to do when bad guys are around is to play dead."

Or something like that.

I picked it up today.  As an administrator(kind of) of this site, I'll try to look into writing a guide as I go.

You kidding? I beat it, easy.

Post by: Vaati on November 09, 2007, 08:13:22 AM
I can't beat it. I'm not used to the new gameplay. So, it's gotten boring and I never want to play it again. My friend got me past the first temple, but I'm still disappointed at how the game is.

That's what turned a lot of people off from MM too. Nintendo's creativeness has negative effects as well as positive...
