Peanut, I generally agree with your opinions on Zelda games, and you're scaring me here. You're scaring me.

Peanut · 10-11-2007, 12:49 PM

I really don't know what to tell you, man. The magic just isn't there. Its got that Wind Waker style and flare, but the game just doesn't hold up. I actually prefer TP over this...

*Dr. Doom* · 10-11-2007, 01:03 PM

More Twilight Princess for me, I guess.

Does that mean this game is an 8.7??!!

*gobo* · 10-11-2007, 01:33 PM

As much as I love Zelda, I still haven't gotten this title or several others. I'm so behind. >_<

*Dr. Doom* · 10-11-2007, 02:21 PM

I kinda wanna play Twilight Princess again now.

*Mecha Cow* · 10-19-2007, 11:47 AM

Just got the game. Enjoying it so far but I really don't like the controls.

**Barkworm** · 10-19-2007, 02:15 PM

I'm also having trouble adjusting to the controls. I like the game so far but it's definitely lacking something.

Peanut · 10-19-2007, 02:53 PM

The control issues will go away, for the most part, you still occasionally find yourself falling off ledges or frantically trying to get the right weapon out, but you'll settle into it for the most part.

However, the thing about the game lacking something will haunt you the whole way through.

*R-iZZy* · 10-20-2007, 03:26 AM

Dude, I love this game! I like the new aspects added to this game, and I like the fact that this game brilliantly takes advantage of the the DS' strength, the stylus. It really makes you feel like the DS has a stylus for a reason other than pressing things.

The story is cool. I'm glad it's following to a story (ala Majora's Mask to Ocarina of Time), that's been the direction I've wanted this franchise to take, although I'd rather it all be one Link going on multiple adventures rather than a new generation's Link taking off. But then again, this franchise would be called the Legend of Zelda for nothing.

**Barkworm** · 10-22-2007, 01:38 PM

I still haven't played much of it but the Ocean King dungeon? Completely retarded. What a god awful game to stall the game.

*Mecha Cow* · 10-22-2007, 02:00 PM

I have to be a bitch, but I still cannot stand these controls. Technically they work, but they don't work. Why the hell can't I just walk with the D-Pad? Also, they somehow managed to make the sailing a million times more boring than it ever was in Wind Waker.

*Dr. Doom* · 10-22-2007, 03:39 PM

I liked sailing in Wind Waker.

*Mecha Cow* · 10-22-2007, 04:13 PM

So did I, but it f*cking sucks in this game.

Peanut · 10-29-2007, 12:29 PM

Did anyone...like...beat this game? I was fixing up my game shelf yesterday afternoon, trying to make a space for Zak & Wiki, when I knocked Phantom Hourglass off my top shelf. Not only had I not even bothered to find a place for it on the shelf, (something I'm extremely anal about) but it also surprised me to realize that the game had completely left my mind all-together. I haven't thought about it since a couple of days after I got it. The desire to play the game is just completely gone. I don't think I'll ever beat it...

Because casual gamers don't like D-pads, which means you're just stuck with what they like because Nintendo kisses their ass--not your's.

I haven't finished it either, but its because I drag my ass on all Zelda games. I'll finish it within a month.

I think I'm somewhere near the end but I bought MP3 and the last Castlevania game and my ambition to beat it has completely disappeared. I like the game but it's nothing spectacular.

*Mecha Cow* · 10-29-2007, 01:16 PM

Wait, no-one has beaten it yet? Damn.

I'm going slow as hell (I only play like one hour every other day) so I haven't even done the second dungeon yet. I still don't like the controls but I've learned to tolerate them. Like Barkworm said it's not especially great but I'm enjoying it so far.

愛 · 10-29-2007, 02:32 PM

I beat it. I enjoyed the game. I just really hated the dungeon you have to repeat over and over again.

*R-iZZy* · 11-01-2007, 03:18 PM

^ Totally agree. The Ocean King dungeon is pretty retarded.

Spoiler: I hope finding the sea chart to the Northeastern part of the seas is the last time I have to go to that dungeon. I got so sick of having to find charts in that dungeon over and over again. __________________
