I'm REALLY looking forward to the virtual console when I get my Wii. The lineup I saw on their website is tremendous. I never had another Nintendo console after the NES (until GC), so I've never played the stuff like Link to the Past, SMB64, SMWorld, etc. I'm excited to play this stuff that so many people consider classic.


I take it you have never experienced Ocarina of Time then either? Perhaps that game isn't as great as we all make it out to be, but for those of us who had played the Zelda games from the beginning this was long awaited and the first time we got to see our much visited world of Hyrule in 3D. It was amazing.

BITE YOUR TONGUE!

Ocarina is as close to gaming perfection as we'll ever get - it's every bit as good as we make it out to be!

I never did play Ocarina. I must confess, I purchased Wind Waker for GC and found it to be not so great. The camera controls were AWFUL and some of the movement frustrated me so I bailed early on.


WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Go back! Give it another chance! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?


I have thought about it. Maybe I'll visit it this weekend.

How are the camera controls awful? O_O ?? TWW has the same camera controls as GC Twilight Princess and Ocarina doesn't have any controls but centering with Z.


I hate, read: HATE floating over-the-shoulder cameras! You ALWAYS have to re-center with the damn things. Give me first person or a locked over the shoulder cam and I'd be happy.

Anyone think there'd be a market for a Zelda MMPORPG?


Not a 3D Zelda game, no... A 2D Zelda MMORPG? Yes! A 3D game wouldn't work online because of the puzzle focus, but a 2D game could.


You think 3-d and puzzle-oriented are mutually exclusive? I don't know. The Lara Croft series has been pretty successful at it. I just don't think Nintendo is too keen on that market.
