I ordered this game in advance and when I got it I have to say I am very disappointed, I have owned and completed every Zelda game since the first and this just does not grap me at all. I did not mind going back to 2D it could of been a blast to the past and i was looking forward to that sort of simple format, after all the complex gaming and controls we have now I thought we were going back to gameplay. but having to control four links all the time is painful and unneccessary. This game is just the old SNES game and game boy games mixed together without the imagination, also it is level based and I HATE that, zelda is about learning as you go with mini games to add that bit extra, exploring and feeling like you achive something when you are able (or want to) get to the next part or get a new weapon and more life, in this it robs you of the weapons and life you work for, every time you get to the next level and you can only carry one item at a time so you feel as though you are not getting stronger. I have played this for day and hope it gets better because at the moment I think this is the worsted ever zelda game. This seems game seems to be about selling more gameboy SP's and cables then giving the gamer a good single player game. I will not buy another nintendo system unless they get the next zelda game right.
