Zelda - Phantom Hourglass

*hyedipin* · 01-05-07, 10:34 PM

Is anyone looking forward to the new zelda game on DS? There has been so many delays, and finally it was set for 2008, but from what I can see on many online stores, it is expected by end of Jan 07. Cartridge Release Date: 1/31/2007.

What do you think?

well, being a huge fan of the zelda series, and the fact that i really fell in love with the minish cap for gba, i for one, will be the first at the door to get my hands on another zelda. im currently enjoying the gamecube version of the twilight princess, and its just amazing.

later this month would be awsome, however, i dont think its very likely, at least from what ive been reading at places like ign and other reputable resources.

when it does come out, you probably wont see too many posts from me here or anywhere else for a while

You are like me then, my first zelda agame was Awakening on GB, later I got a hold of Zelda on SNES but at that time I was never a big fan. The lighning stroke me when I played the Wind Waker early 2006 (yes very late, but I am so glad). After finishing that game and seeing that it is one of the best games ever, I dove into Minish Cap on my GBA. My wife says I spend too much time on Zelda, so that's the reason I am not getting Twilight Princess for game cube just yet. Recalling the hours spent on WW (sometimes 5 hours a night) I know she is right..

No, I am lucky with the SMB, my wife is in same situation as me, and she loves Mario, since she had been playing with it since NES.

I think, like basically all Nintendo games, it will be excellent. Nintendo would never be stupid enough to screw up one of their main series (Zelda) and I am pretty sure we can expect nothing but the best.

Yes, and we are still waiting. Zelda is very complicated game, and needs a lot of testing. Anything that the developer may have forgotten can come back and bite them in the a$$. For example and item that should not be revealed earlier, or a spot that should not be visited could be visited, and it could cause a chain reaction and end of universe!

heh. You get the point. I don't mind waiting, the more we wait, the better final product will be

What about the rumoured Tingle game? Not so sure this one would be a Nintendo hit.

*hyedipin* · 06-07-07, 10:02 AM

Wow, it's been such a long time and the game delayed for about 11 more months..
A few sites state that it should be out by October of 07 while a few anticipate that it will only be ready for the Christmas season!

With Twilight Princess game already completed (well almost completed) I have to now tuck away my cube until I find another great game to play.

I'm holding out hope for October. The waiting is driving me nuts! Though I'd rather wait and have it be great .... *sigh*

Phantom Hourglass wasn't ever given an official release date, which is why websites have all sorts of different dates on them. I believe the last 'official' word was that it would ship when it was ready, but not until then.

I've been a huge fan of the series since it came out, as well, and own pretty much every Zelda game in any format it's been released on. I even had 2 of the bonus discs that were offered for joining Nintendo Power back in 2005. Now that they're releasing the games on the Virtual Console for my Wii, guess who got suckered into buying them again

Anyways.. I'm hoping that it will be before Christmas. If they were going to release it that soon, I think we should have heard more about it during E3. I don't remember reading anything, though, so I'll have to look into it further.

I've heard the rumor mill saying that it will be a worldwide release, not a territorial one, so we'll see. If nothing else, I guess I get to learn Japanese by playing my first import.

Well, it has been released in Japan for some time. So there is no reason why they would hold it here in the states, other than "christmas shopping craziness" time.
