Oh I'll probably like that to... However I'm not far enough yet, so to me it's still 'the same', but like I said... That sentiment will probably change once I get further along .

Of course. But combine that with the thing those other games lack (or rather, the thing that makes the difference in those other games) which is the exact same world filled with the same enemies and characters, those events happening at exactly the same locations that look exactly the same with the same timing as in the original, that start is exactly the same to me.

But like I said, the sentiment'll probably go away once I get further along and the game starts to differentiate itself from it's predecessor.

Damn you Rol!!! Damn you!

In other news: Jose Otero is Sushi-X

Edit: Jose Otero just messaged me and admitted to not being the real Sushi-X XD

So a little update:

After a minute to 6 hours in, I'm now at the doorstep of the third dungeon and the game finally does away a little from it's A Link to the Past roots. Maybe this'll calm down Rol a bit, but I was pleasantly surprised by Death Mountain having a completely different lay-out and the third dungeon seems to be  different altogether. So there's hope yet. I think you can do those dungeons out-of-order, but I went to the tower on Death Mountain (the dungeon in the trailers) first.

Though I still feel I know exactly what items I get where, because most remain the same. Fairy Fountains are in the same caves and the Zora Flippers are there in the same spot. There's even still a guy underneath the bridge who gives you an Empty Bottle. I'm still not sure if it was the right decision to have this game play in the exact same world as A Link to the Past, but Miyamoto was right to have it inspired by it instead of the DS-games. I know it won't matter to those that never played ALttP before and for them it's a solid overworld with many secrets, but it's still too predictable to me. I think the best parts until now are actually the small mini-dungeons which contain elaborate block-puzzles where you need clever use of the wall-merging ability, sadly I've only seen them having treasure within though. Some really made me think, so I hope there's going to be a dungeon that uses that concept heavily down the line.

I think the game is good overall, definitely worth the purchase, but as usual I think the euphoria by some reviewers is exaggerated. It's not the "best Zelda since..." and it doesn't "...do everything ALttP did but better".

Glad you're enjoying it, Peelman. Sorry it hasn't blown you away so far :/

Well, I'm probably a bit harsh on it anyway. It's just that a Zelda game has to fill such big shoes. But, be assured, anyone that doesn't know every nook and cranny of the ALttP world will be blown away .

Nonono...

I did the Mountain Tower second.

I'm at the Wind Dungeon now, which like I said I am glad is actually different.

Just finished the first dungeon. So far I'm liking it a lot, but I will give my full thoughts when I'm farther into the game.

This game is quite amazing. It's definitely better (mechanically) than any Zelda released since Majora's Mask. I just completed my first Lorule dungeon, "Dark Palace", and I've got to say that the freedom in this game is excellent. It is very much like LoZ in terms of freedom, but you have just as much, if not more freedom with item rentals and purchases. I hope they have rentals in Zelda Wii U and enable a fuller over-world with many options in terms of organization.

For reference my favorite Zelda games are ALttP = Majora's Mask , then LoZ .
