LttP can be tricky in the sense of using the time warp mirror in the correct place, or digging for the flute, but I wouldnt consider that 'hard' just tricky/confusing.

Who remembers the Iron-knuckles from Zelda 2? Especially the blue ones, those could really take away alot of your life fighting them.

Difficult as in you die often. You used to die alot playing zelda 1, 2 and ALTTP (especially 2), often having to continue or restart the dungeon over. Hearts were also harder to come by in those games.

I seriously cannot ever recall dying in OoT, MM, WW or TP, where in those first 3 zeldas I would die left and right.

Ok, so heres my thoughts. 3rd party support for Nintendo is horrible!! Is has been since N64 days. My only reason for purchasing nintendo is for the 1st party games.

And this is the case for many gamers from what I have heard. To be frank I worry for Ninty, 3rd Party's this Gen has really sucked big time. Maybe the worst its ever been for them. And i am not talking sales, but quality. Where are the big multi plats? (SF4, Bioshock, AC, MWF2 etc etc.) Where is our AAAE 3rd party games?

So, does Nintendo have to adrress this seriously. Like build more 1st party studios? We seriously need more f-zero, starfox, donkey kong, pikmin, kirby... hell i will even take a ice climbers game.

the lack of Nintendo IP's this gen is dissappointing.

just my two cents.

Agreed 100%. I could care less about most 3rd party games. I only buy nintendo systems so I can play mario, zelda etc. Starfox and f-zero should have been released a long time ago.

dont get your hopes up fellas. they still havent posted any screenshots / videos of the game.

i am guessing Q4 '11

You really only have to grind a little bit before the marsh cave. If you can get to level 13-14 before entering the marsh cave, you should be able to just play the rest of the game and level up as you go without having to sit and grind for a long time.

I hope not. One more thing i'll have to buy.

looks awesome. when is it coming out?

I see some mario and zelda elements in the game for sure.

nintendo definitely is throwing out some heavy hitters. i guess it is making up for the lackluster 09 year (NSMBW excluded)

Awesome game, it does not get enough love. Definitely not the worst in the series.

I dont beleive I have used those buttons in any VC game I have played.
