And for those who don't necessarily want to be scared of dying? How hard is it to get enough rupees to purchase the key items?

More like a sense of frustration. Me and my friend were doing a play through of the game and we lost all our progress on an entire dungeon (even though we already beat it) because apparently we didn't do a "permanent" save, just a temporary.

The only way to go. Zelda GOAT.

Skyward Sword has bursts of the best moments in Zelda history, but Ocarina is the better made game. They excel in different ways.
Majora's Mask was short, but it also had a brilliantly-realized world.
LttP is probably the hardest version, but it had crappy graphics for its time.
Look at the game on an actual 3DS screen, not blown up on your computer monitor ... not nearly as bad.
I enjoy the Zelda discussion and criticism, but it should always be remembered that they are all fantastic games, and many of them are god-tier classics.

Can't say at all about this specific game and I hate 3d in general bit I would recommend a 2ds to people price conscious. I play my 3ds xl with 3d off. Sounds like another game to go in my Nintendo fridge. Will need another freezer; the Nintendo backlog is enormous from this year alone
is there on gaf something like a number of times that you can ask for someone being banned??
because i want to use one of those now...It's 60fps, a first for a Zelda game and oh, it retains it's framerate in 3D mode. For that, it's very impressive.

There are people in this thread who claim the DS Zeldas are better than Link's Awakening, I certainly hope so.

I'm on media black out for this, but it's good to hear that impressions are positive.
Link's Awakening is a great game but it is overrated. There are a TON of annoyances in that game that would cause GAF to explode if they existed today (you can't move that rock!, etc.). And this wasn't a sign of the times...these annoyances didn't exist in LTTP.
And phantom hourglass and spirit tracks are not awful games, in fact, I think spirit tracks is really great.
That being said, Link's Awakening is the best out of the 3.

You can get the special edition 3DS with ALBW built into it for $220, saving $20 on the game.

As if I wasn't hyped enough. Why the hell does this have to come out same day as Mario 3D World!
This is what I like to see.
Nov. 22nd I'm going to lose it honestly.
I bet Mario 3D World gets 10/10 too.

go to walmart (<<<< i think) and pick up 2ds to put it on layaway for $149. Then go back on black friday pick it up on for $99 when the price is reduced. Viola!
so, that way you don't have to fight all those people gettin' in your way and grabbing everything in sight.
My frothing demand increases 10 folds. I can't wait!
If you want to have a incredibly detailed conversation about Zelda design, ping me anytime.
Side note: I noticed a lot of opposition to my original claim in this thread. So here's the challenge, if you can describe the overarching design philosophies exhibited through the execution/design of Links Awakening vs Phantom Hourglass vs Spirit Tracks, then I'll give you a Zelda cookie.
If not, we'll all just continue to have a good laugh.

Wow! It sounds like my first impressions of this game were dead wrong. I am getting hyped. I still dislike the graphics though.

Damn Nintendo had done a great job pushing the hype for this game. Netting a great review just sweetens it up that much more.

A Link Between Tworlds
TP has always been the best entry in the series. I make it a point to ignore most people's opinions when making up my mind about games, because they're just so frequently absurd.
My only explanation is that people played it on Wii instead of Gamecube like they should have.
I would die if we got TP HD or Mario Sunshine HD on Wii U. Both fantastic games, but they get absurd amounts of criticism in some gaming circles.

I think I have bad taste in graphics, because nothing about these graphics has ever bothered me. Then again, if I'm not mistaken, more than a few people have said "ALttP is a great game except for the art design" (sorry no evidence, maybe someone with this opinion can confirm), and I had no problem with ALttP graphics either.
What exactly is wrong with the graphics in this game? Looks kind of like how I'd imagine 2D Link of old would look in 3D had I never seen a manual with drawings of Link.

Starting with three of the worst dungeons in the series plus only having two good ones later on (arbiter and yetis house) probably has something to do with it
Oh no, sir. Wii all the way. Pointer controls!!

I couldn't get into the Fire Emblem games (I hate strat RPGs), I hated the Monster Hunter demo on Wii U, I don't have the time for Animal Crossing, I'm not really interested in SMTIV, I hated all previous Mario and Luigi games, and I don't really care for Pokemon. Luigi's Mansion is fairly interesting, but not enough to warrant a purchase right now. I'll probably pick it up eventually when it gets cheaper and I have the time/money.
