Finally getting a few hours into this game and WOW. Best damn game on the Wii easily and best damn game to come out in years. This Zelda may actualy take the number 1 spot from Zelda: A Link To The Past as the best Zelda game ever. The non cell shaded graphics (loved Wind Waker too though) give the whole game a HUGE epic feel that is like no other Zelda game in the past. If you own a Wii and don't have Zelda then immediately smash your Wii and punch yourself in the face for not owning it.

would a non-rpg fan like this???

Ohh ya. It an action RPG game so it's more action oriented kinda like Resident Evil and not RPGish like Final Fantasy. It's not a point and clicker, you swing the Wiimote like a mad man to swing your sword,lol.

I can't believe that buffoon at Gamespot gave ZTP an 8.8.  He needs a swift kick up the arse and I hope he knows it, after reading how many 100% and 9.9/10 reviews this game has received.  If I'm not mistaken, the same guy did their review for Red Steel and, once again, gave it a horrible rating that it didn't deserve.  He obviously just doesn't like the Wii or Nintendo as a whole or something.

There's so much bias on Gamespot it's pathetic.  For instance, the Xbox 360 version of Elder Scrolls: Oblivion received an incredibly high score, while the PC version - a completely identical game - received a much lower one.  It's the same game, literally!

People should rely on services like Metacritic more.  They're so much more accurate than individual review sites like Gamespot, Gamespy, IGN, etc.

....well, that's today's rant.

Gameplay > Graphics.

Z:TP is one of the best Zelda games I've played and the most I've gotten into one. I mean the quest you do just to get the slingshot in the very beginning was awesome, not something I'd have expected right in the beginning. I'm constantly discovering new ways to use old stuff. I just wish I wasn't currently stuck >_<

Yea, that review at Gamespot is complete trash. I expected much higher, and after seeing an 8.8, almost reconsidered getting it and the Wii. Those reviews can really mean a lot to someone on the fence already about purchasing the Wii and ZTP.

But I thought about it, and said to myself, screw that, I'm still getting one!

Every time someone calls Zelda an RPG (or an action RPG, or anything RPG related) I die a little on the inside... Zelda is not, nor ever has been an RPG of any sort (the ONLY exception to this is Zelda 2, which actually did contain RPG elements, the other zelda's do not. They are action/adventure games)

k, I'm done whining. Can't get at my zelda till christmas. I got my wii though so that's happy news.

thinking about getting a wii for christmas, but I'm not sure how to tell my parents..
My brother constantly begged for a 360, but now gave up, and we all decided a Wii might work.
But the price is a little high for Christmas, so we would have to get it as an alltogether gift

should i?

I snagged this for my GC and could not be more impressed. This is one of the best games I have played is years. I can only imagine how much better it must be on the Wii. I was tempted to take a sick day at work this morning and spend the day on my couch.

True, you don't level, you have no control over skills gained, even new weapon acquirement is very linear(ie do a quest, find weapon, tool, instead of actually have to do some monster hunting or dungeon crawling to find such items), other then the character name there's no customization of him, you play as link no matter what, so even though is a great game its nowhere near something that can be considered a RPG.

Personally the first 10 hours were "pretty good" once I got past that it was more like "holy crap I cant stop playing and I need to go to work tomorrow"
I'm at about 30 hours now, and it feels like I've just begun to scratch the surface, I hear 50 or 70 hours to complete everything is around par.  The world is huge, one thing I wish they added is real time sword dynamics, or at least relative swings, not just button emulation, of course this was a GC port but it would have been sweet.

Zelda may not be a true RPG (thankfully) I personally dont know how people find pointing and clicking games like diablo fun (or at least as fun as zelda type action rpgs) and I've never been a fan of any turn based game other than chess.

Devs, you have played Ocarina of Time right? I for some reason never liked the top down Zeldas as much, Zelda 2 was my favorite old school Zelda, and Ocarina I think was hands down the best overall, and probably even best game of all time.  Personally I think it was slightly more epic than TP so far just not as vast due to the N64 (but at the time it was breathtaking).

PS: wii component cables are sweet.
