Quote :

"Naturally, though, the biggest addition to the demo is the new sword-fighting mechanic. In a truth that will undoubtedly annoy some die-hard Nintendo fans, Link is a right-hander now. Nintendo chose to go this route because it feels much more natural to swing the character's arm with the Wii-mote, which is typically gripped in the right hand and the nunchuck in the left."

good call

all i know is link turns into a fucking werewolf (sp?)

9/15/2006 7:59:24 AM

yea somethin like that

9/15/2006 8:00:58 AM

I wonder if Link will also be right-handed in the Gamecube version as well, or if that's only true of the Wii version.

Either way, I can hardly wait for Dec. 11 to get here.

i'm left-handed so that sucks

9/15/2006 10:55:07 AM

Link is considered ambidexterous. Yes it is a cop-out. He has always played with the sword in his left hand, but a lot of his merchendise has him holding his sword in his right. Really, its just a minor thing.

9/15/2006 11:28:36 AM

In LttP Link would swing with his right hand when facing to the right. I remember reading in Nintendo Power or EGM that there was a myth in Hyrule that's it's good luck to always have your shield pointing towards Death Mountain or something like that.

9/15/2006 1:02:20 PM

i think this zelda is said to be in another dimension. so problem solved.

Looks like Link can turn into a hawk too.

"After I spent 10 hours with the game, I barely managed to squeak by two temples, with the third so far off that I could scarcely imagine getting there, let alone approach the objective. (For the record, out of 30 or so journalists, nobody came close to the third temple.) I asked how long it took Nintendo's testers to complete the entire game the first time through. The answer is a whopping 70-plus hours. Adding insult to injury, diabolical Nintendo translator and localization manager Bill Trinen told me that he was working on his second play-through of the game. Knowing what to do and where to go, and skipping cut-scenes, Trinen said that he had logged about 27 hours to make it about two thirds of the way through the temples themselves - and that doesn't account for any of the side quests or time sucks like fishing, a single operation that could easily add hours upon hours to Zelda's depth. ."

I happen to have that guide under my desk.

Quote :

"Link is Left-handed Link will swing his Sword with his left hand except when he's facing to the east. No one is exactly sure why Link employs this right- handed technique when he faces east. Some say it is a boyish superstition that makes Link hold his Shield toward Death Mountain when battling a foe to the east or west. Link is sure that the evil power is originating from Death Mountain."

2 weeks from now i'll be 9 hours and 16 minutes into the game.

11/5/2006 7:16:11 PM

^^^I remember everyone talking up playing time on Wind Waker... until everyone discovered that you spend most of the time just sitting there waiting for the boat to get from point A to point B. So when I read:

Quote :

"with the third so far off that I could scarcely imagine getting there"

I get a bit skeptical. 70 hours, but it takes 50 minutes to traverse the desert to get from temple to temple

11/6/2006 8:29:12 AM

bumpdiggety

I've logged about 12 hours on this game, and I'm about to fight the second dungeon boss

11/21/2006 4:10:22 PM

I'm slow, 9 hours and I finished the first temple and am exploring hyrule field.

11/21/2006 4:12:09 PM

so how is it with the wiimote?

11/21/2006 5:39:22 PM

Is the first temple that considered the twilight place when you first become a dog or am I still far far away from seeing the first one?

11/21/2006 5:40:46 PM

far away... i'm just now going back to twilight and collecting those spirits to get to the first dungeon (i assume)

11/21/2006 7:14:43 PM

the first dungeon is the forest dungeon with the monkeys... you'll know it when you see it

i think i played for 4-5 hours before i got to the first dungeon..

11/21/2006 8:06:08 PM

i'm 1.5 hours in and i just became a wolf. i'm locked in the prison cell

11/21/2006 8:26:11 PM

this game is fucking crack...the second dungeon is getting annoying with all the damned timed stuff though

11/23/2006 12:26:45 AM

I just started exploring hyrule field. beat the first dungeon early this morning and then had to pack everything up to make the drive home. bought to bust it back out and play for a few hours before i fall asleep

11/23/2006 12:50:36 AM

do ya chain hang low?

11/23/2006 2:54:23 AM

i'm at 5.5 hours and just beat the forest temple

11/23/2006 8:39:54 PM

left game on the Wii pause button for 5 hours and it counted it

11/23/2006 11:47:04 PM

that first damn "joust" on the horse was about to piss me off. took me a little while to get used to dodging the dude on the boar and swing my sword at the same time. hit him 4 times and then died. restarted and hit him once and the fatass fell off the edge. WTF. just got the iron boots and tossed the first goron. heading up to the second dungeon. played wii sports all day. time to get crackin on the zelda

11/24/2006 1:30:05 AM

i'm at 7.5 hours and just started goron mines temple...

the horseback fight was AWESOME... and the shot at the end when link knocked that dude off the bridge was epic

11/24/2006 12:13:22 PM

i'm at 21 hours and just beat 3rd temple

so far every single temple has been really fun and satisfying to beat

they've all been hard enough to make you think, but not so hard that you just run around for hours not knowing what to do

All of the boss fights have been a little too easy though, and their "weak spot" is always painfully obvious

11/24/2006 12:31:53 PM

i'm at 9 hours and just beat the 2nd temple. i also have 7 heart containers

11/24/2006 2:24:14 PM

I finished the 2nd temple, i'm right at 11 hours. loved the magnetic rock.

^ i'm only sitting at 6

[Edited on November 24, 2006 at 3:14 PM. Reason : .]

11/24/2006 3:14:27 PM

about to go into the 3rd temple

sitting pretty at 7 hearts too. exploring for random heart pieces is one of my favorite parts.

11/24/2006 5:04:14 PM

OK, whoever has completed the 2nd temple and gotten the compass to make sure you got all treasures... did anyone actually get them ALL? there's one i can't get to that i can't even see but is showing up on the compass... it's in the area where the guys shoot arrows at you initially and there's a chest in the bottom of the water w/ 50 rupees in there, too.
