Never pre-ordered it, thank goodness for that. And as much as simply ignoring this game would be easy, why would I want to? I used to love the Zelda series. Had some of my best gaming moments with the older Zelda games, like the 1st two, or the handheld ones, but all the recent ones have been so meh. And you're just telling me that I should forget about it? Hell no. I want new Zelda games and great ones at that, but this just isn't happening.

Not sure if you're putting the quotation marks to be sarcastic, but what a Zelda game should be is an action-RPG, and not a series of puzzles linked by a crappy story. Or if you prefer, play the 1st game, and everything that's in it is what a Zelda game should be, and nearly everything else is unnecessary, and even detrimental to the games. Exception is if it stays true to being action-y or RPG-ish.

And it gets to me how some people lap this game up, even though it spits on the older Zelda games. But yeah, skipped out on spirit tracks, and it seems I'll be doing the same thing here. Unfortunately.


I couldn't have been laying it on thicker there, you are killing me.

I don't care what you think a Zelda game should be; nobody gets to dictate that.

You were missing out on the unspoken corollary, there. If you ignore the game, I don't have to have my eyes drawn to your self-entitled posts about how it's not what you want it to be. See? You pretend it doesn't exist, I get to pretend your opinion doesn't exist. It's the exact arrangement I have with fans of Other M. Everyone wins.

Oh how horribly wrong you are. People, like you, me and every other person who's interested in games gets to decide what a Zelda game should be. Without going into an analysis of Zelda sales, I can easily point to Metroid other M and say that what that game was doing is not what Metroid should be, since so much less people bought it. Easy.

Sometimes ignoring people is a virtue, but here it screams of immaturity. Running away from criticism is what kids might do, so grow a pair, and maybe listen to these criticisms. As a writer, that's one of the things you should do, yet you don't want to apparently.

And no, everyone doesn't win, since I end up with a crap game, which at least you'll enjoy, but I won't.
