It's two games? I must have missed that or it wasn't mentioned in the European Direct. There it sounded more like a The Sacred Stones campaign where you have to choose a path after you've reached a certain point in the story, only this time around it's not going to be two paths that lead to the same outcome.

On topic: There was nothing to make up for, because 3D Zelda games get delayed all the time. The best thing about the Direct was that the rumor about a new Ganondorf weapon in Hyrule Warriors wasn't true.

She's back! Kim lives! Thank god.

It wasn't mentioned in the European or American Directs, probably because they're at least thinking about simply selling it as one package in the West. It's easiest to explain using the digital version, which there is only one of. When you reach chapter six, you choose between the two sides. From that point, the campaign branches into (essentially) two completely different games. Different story, different characters, different battles, presumably different maps. But once you choose one branch, the other is locked away as ~$15 DLC. In Japan at least, the two campaigns will be sold as separate cartridges (white version and black version). Even with the physical versions, you can still unlock the other campaign for the same price.

Intelligent Systems claims that each version is distinct and has as much content on its own as Awakening had.
