Huh. I thought it was critical reception that was the problem. Shows me, then.

No, you're right. Still, if the game had been the best selling Zelda ever I don't think anyone would have cared that much.

Probably true, but combined Twilight Princess is fairly close, now.

I imagine that it has more to do with wanting to break Ocarina of Time's stranglehold on the legacy of the series in the eyes of the public. Considering how well Phantom Hourglass did and how much better Aonuma's games tend to be when he has free reign, I expect him to be as creative as possible for the next outing.

The idea excited me.

Well, I hope you're right.

I can't wait for a new zelda.

thats what the skippable thingy is. same hardcore level for all, but with skippability.

I was wondering if it would be worth it to go through the second time on the first LoZ. Is it more difficult or is everything just moved around? I was also wondering about Master Quest and what the differences are on that game as opposed to Ocarina.

I can't really comment on the second quest in the first game, but Master Quest is considerably harder in terms of puzzles than the original. A lot of people will say this is better, but it's not: the reason these puzzles weren't used the first time is that they are "second choice" material, every one of them, and they odn't mesh together well nearly as logically as the game's default. It's still worth it, as the game is very different, but prepare to be... confused.

Master quest is worth a play just to see all the cows in Jabu Jabu's stomach.

I will have to play it now.
