The Legend of Zelda

[Storm Eagle]

More Zelda Symphony Dates for this year have been announced up to September so far, in case anyone might want to check it out. They've even got three shows in May happening in Europe. They had two shows in Australia earlier this month. This is the first year where they're holding shows outside of the US and Canada.

No news on a western release date, but this is definitely great news. I hope they get released in the US soon.

i will buy both... but it sucks they are DELAYING the packaged deal where you can get both for a discount... :T

hope they release them in the usa soon

I already purchased link's awakening DX for 3DS and received zelda I, II (both nes) and minish cap (gba) as ambassador benefits. may as well try to own them all

[Brodie]

Well, the delay is on the Japanese release. Hopefully when it makes the release in other territories, it'll have the option out the gate. Doubt it though.

Me too. Plus that Four Swords Anniversary thing...I haven't really played that yet. I've never played the Oracle Games before so looking forward to the 3DS releases!

It'd be cool if they also released LTTP as a 3D classics like Miyamoto mentioned he wanted to do but with the failure of 3D classics, who knows. If we get LTTP it'll probably be the GBA version before the SNES version, but I guess that isn't too bad, both versions had pros and cons. If that'd happen then I'd love to have Majoras Mask so we could at least have all the pre-Gamecube Zelda's on the go.

With WW getting a remake on the Wii U, chances for it on the 3DS are null, it'd be cool if they released the 2 DS games on the Wii shop too.

Saw legend of zelda cartoon series at best buy...almost picked it up,anyone ever watched?

[Candy Kappa]

The cartoon can be enjoyable if you know what cheese you're in for, very much like the D&D cartoon.

[gobo]

Only get it if you don't mind hearing "well, excuuuuuse me, princess" every five minutes. The couple of Captain N/Zelda crossovers were substantially less slapsticky.

I like the Zelda cartoon, it's pretty fun for what it is, and counting it's a videogame cartoon from the 80s it definitely aged well. The fact that each episode is only like 12 minutes helps since it ends before you get bored. Take into account that this cartoon was made when only Zelda 1 had been out so they didn't have a lot to work with storywise and even then it managed to include many zelda tropes of future games like his horse, fairy etc.

I love the cartoon, cheesy as it is. I picked it up the day the original DVD release came out 5 or 6 years ago. I saw the newer set, it doesn't look as spiffy to me.

Majora's Mask was a sequel. And the second game on the NES was literally called Zelda II.

[CyberCubed]

Phantom Hourglass was also a Wind Waker sequel using the same Link.

[Voltron]

Oh, Jake. Something tells me you'll never live this down. Had this been another area of the forum, you might one day escape the label you've just plastered on your forehead, but video games? Hell, I'm friends with these people and still tread lightly through these halls.

LOL, oh I remember the trouble I had with Zelda II for NES. It was my first Zelda game I owned, I had briefly played the first Zelda game for NES with my cousin during vacations, but Zelda II was the game my family bought for me since it was "newer".

I was a bit surprised by the different game play of it since it was more side-scrolling instead of being completely a top-down perspective. It was easy going through Parapa Palace/North West Hyrule, but Death Mountain...lol.. was the death of my patience. I remember as a small kid trying to actually draw out the maze of tunnels to figure out where I had to go, but those enemies in the caves were TOUGH. I know games are supposed to get progressively more difficult, but the difficulty was just so sudden.

I think my lack of patience for the game was because my parents only allowed me to play 2 hours of video games a day, but only on Friday and weekends and never on a school night. I found myself being more frustrated rather than enjoying the game by never really making it through those caves and I just abandoned the game altogether. Whatever time I had in playing video games, I wanted to actually enjoy it. Therefore...

I stuck with more instant gratifying games (i.e. shoot-'em up/beat-'em up games, racing games, and side-scrolling games [Mario series]), game themes that are more geared toward the arcade, because all that effort in those long adventure games just wasn't worth it to me anymore.

I'm not saying the Zelda series is bad, far from it, but I just realized that I leaned much more toward casual gaming than anything else.

I have a lot of unfinished business when it comes to saving Hyrule. I just picked up LotP, and still need to finish up WW. I understand that I'm about 20 years late to the party, but that's usually how I roll.

To be clear, I've played every game save for Majora's Mask, Spirit Tracks, and SS. I just get side tracked and lose my place in the game. If I stop playing a game for a week, I lose all momentum and have to start over completely.

One time I put down WW for a whole year, came back and found Link sitting in the middle of the ocean. I had no idea where to go.

Are you forgetting about Zelda 2 on the NES? That's a sequel.
