+ The game is said to be 2 - 3 times *larger* than OOT.
+ Link will grow up as the game progresses
+ The starting town acts as an introduction where you wear normal clothes and have to round up cows on your horse within a time limit.

Nintendo, a release date of tomorrow please.
EGM: Is it safe to say there is some major gameplay element we still don't know about, like the sailboat in Windwaker, that will remain secret until just before the game comes out?
EA: You're right.
Is just jism-inducing.
I mean ... *shivers* ... woo

Sometimes it was hard to hit A at the right moment but I admit it was kinda cheap. Cool animation though :)

Fishing!
Gliding!
Hurrah!

Counter-attack?
I thought it made things a bit easy. Like fighting against a massive room of knight-people was supposed to be really hard, but you just had to keep out the way and wait for the button to flash.

Yeah.

The game really requires a lot of attention. It's not that complicated, but if you do a bit and then leave it for a while and come back you just get completely lost. Luckily I managed to do it without too much confusion, but there were a couple of times when I tried to do things I'd already done and so on. I really really enjoyed it - I think it is slightly better than Windwaker, but only because the dungeons are better and you get to ride a horse, although the fighting in WW is way better.
There is definitely a potential for a proper time scale element in this new Zelda. Something like the randomised schedules of NPCs from Oblivion, which coincide with wherever you are in the storyline, would certainly be nice.
