well first of all WHY DO YOU ALREADY HAVE YOUR N-ZONE AND I DON'T??? Ah I know, because I live in Switzerland and the post is lazy, so that I always have to wait a week until I get mine

But I'm a bit puzzled... First of all, I want to say that N-Zone is normally quite reliable and not biased. You also have to know that their scores are a bit special (I think) because getting a score below 80 % means the game is not good normally, while at other sites/magazines a 7/10 is still good. But then again, a score around 90 % is still very good.

And what I'm really more interested about are the dungeons rather than the sidequests. How is the dungeon architecture? Are there difficult, clever puzzles? I read there are seven dungeons, and I think this is enough for a handheld game, so altough I usually trust N-Zone, I'll go with the score rather than the words.

It's a handheld Zelda and you're trying to compare it to GC/Wii Zeldas, clearly you're going to be disappointed. ;>

I have the nasty feeling the dungeons are gonna have a 'casual' architecture... Which means... No REALLY HARD puzzles on which i have to think for more then 10 minutes. Which i find sad... Cuzz thats what i loved about Zelda games. I was even scared to buy Windwaker... Cuzz i found Ocarina of time so hard... And i didn't know if i could finish it... But now, they dungeons keep having a downward trend on dificulty!... Btw: The Zelda games are still amongst the most respected games in my book ... And i hope the games turns out nice!... Great dungeons that is ... And the online is gonna rock my world... Now im gonna continue playing pokémon. Sad, isn't it ...

@DKII: Once more now, they compared it to a Link to the past and they were dissapointed. I compared the game to nothing.

@ Nintendo_fanboy: They said the puzzles are different from every other Zelda game before, sometimes crazy but often classic Zelda things with touchscreen control.

They also didn´t rate the graphics and sound that high (under 85%) and said the music isn´t new but rather "ported" from earlier games.

And yeah, the game is pretty "casual" and easy. What I actually read between the lines was the game is a better casual than hardcore game.

Maybe Legends is better than expected. We have seen like, nothing - about it so far.

It gets a higher score than Umbrella Chronicles (which is starting to worry me).

Bring on Mario & Metroid...
