Hey Conegamer! Where is the next review? When did IGN say they were putting there's out?

IGN's review is Friday. But, it's all looking positive!

Tweets (avoiding spoilers):

"This orchestra CD reminds me how good the Zelda music is...I mean it's stunning"

"Took me 45 hours to complete. Didn't do all the sidequests and sorta rushed through it to do the review. Good length. Certainly the biggest Zelda yet."

"I think they've shown about 50% of the stuff in the game. Hard to quantify"

"Fans will be happy with all the Zelda references"

"The dungeons are possibly the best in any Zelda, ever"

"Can anyone remember when they actually needed Rupees in a Zelda game rather than having too many?"

"I'm actually messing with equipment in preparation for the final boss. Never thought I'd do that in a Zelda game."

"Holy hell this is amazing..."

 

And there were others. Just these were perhaps my favourites.

 

Also, here's some screenshots from ONM while you wait. Lots and lots and lots...

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Apparently, there's a new review:

Games Master - 96%

Sadly, I don't have any source, just a post in 'some' forum. Anyway, let wait to see if is true. On another note, very, VERY good news about the second quest at IGN Rich's Tweet:

"Nintendo has plubicly said there's a second quest. That's all I can/will say. =)"



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

96 is great!

Conegamer are they saying rupees matter now?

I know I'm not Conegamer, but it seems in this game the rupees will be used a lot, and is easy to spend a huge amount.

You have learnt well, young one

Correct. Rupees WILL be worthwhile. It sounds as though the rupee goes well beyond 999 rupees, and many items will require that cost (badges, item upgrades etc., and we still don't really know what Beedle does...)

Remember, there's a lot more stuff worth buying in this game. And it looks like the rupoor is back!

 

Also, quick note. It looks like that...thing you were on about is confirmed, and is of 'Dark Souls' difficulty. Now, I don't have Dark Souls (want it!), but I know it is really hard. So this bodes well!



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Also, I'm not gonna add that 96% GamesMaster score until there's a link...

...remember how ONM were 'supposed' to give it 75%, then 88%, then 92%? It was none of those. So I'd rather wait

Of course, I hope it's right!

What's supposed to be 'Dark Souls' difficulty?

About as hard as Monster Hunter, if even that. All it really means is that you can't rush in, swing your sword around wildly and expect everything to be dead while taking minimum damage. Blocking or dodging attacks is actually required and that's why a lot of people call it a hard game.

Like I said, I've never played Dark Souls, but it seems to be for a number of people the definition of a 'hard' game. But, as you say, that could be due to actually needing skill rather than just spamming attacks

 

And Monster Hunter is a difficult game!
