There is a lot of confusion as to when LOZ:TWW is released; 2nd or 3rd. I've been (reliably) informed that Nintendo wanted the release date to be may 3rd. Research shows there are certain dates that are more memorable than others, and Nintendo wanted to release one of their biggest games of the year on a memorable day. The stores, however, wanted to release the game on Friday in the hope of selling more copies. Who is right? I don't know, hopefully, it'll be delivered in time for tomorrow, though:D

It's not as good as OOT, because the whole wind thing is unecessarily drawn out and awkward, but it's still great.

I'm hoping it comes tomorrow, but I'm still happy to wait until Saturday if I have to.

After all, it hasn't actually clicked that retailers will be selling it tomorrow...I've had "May 3rd" repeating in my head for ages now...

They wanted it to be the third as it's a year after the release of the Cube.

Not if their listed release date is tomorrow.
And I don't get post on Saturdays.
And even if they post it today it won't come.
Then it's Sunday, Bank Holiday, and then maybe I'll get it if I'm lucky.

Special Reserve tend to get games to you for the release dates, so you should get it on Saturday.
