Did I mention it looks stunning, you can ride a horse and a giant boar, you can fight while riding, you can turn into a wolf, it looks scary, big enemies and a weird sinister looking gremlin thing? And hot Zelda.


Feel free to continue.

They all do look freakishly formed.
Well ... if you think about, it was only a matter of time before the effects of Hyrulian in-breeding were noticed.

That kind of styling could work in WW when everything was a bit cartoony, but with the more realistic graphics it just looks scary.

I like their stylised look. Gives them some country-bumpkin like character.

The game looks incredible, I wouldn't worry about the game being "spoilt", Nintendo are famed for only showing the world some of the game.

Nintendo have kept me hooked on the series since I first saw the cartoon (I'm sure I'm the only fan of it). I didn't play the first two games (through not knowing they existed at the time, and not having a NES) so my first taste of Zelda was on the SNES, and I've loved it ever since!

Admittedly, there are a few games which aren't so fun...the Oracle games on the GBC are two of them, but I trust Nintendo aren't going to muck this one up. It looks brilliant and I'm sure it will play well too.

The oracle series on the GBC, although hard, were fantastic!

I was dissapointed, expecting another Link's Awakening.

I remember riding around on some blue bear.. that's about it. Haven't played in years.

I disagree with NGC when they said it was the best 2D Zelda games ever. But I really really enjoyed them. My most challenging Zelda experiences.

72 hours is no joke, so you probably won't be finishing this game as soon as you think
