Posted May 5, 2015 I say very good on them, I'm very impressed and I think their dedication over the last few months with paid and free (Amiibo) DLC has worked wonders. I remember before release reading that they're hoping to sell a million copies overall and I nearly spat out my drink thinking it would be impossible. 1 million copies? On a failing console? With a niche franchise? Surely even the Zelda name can't save that. But hey, it turned out to be a quality title with masses of fan service and a great life-span so they deserve all the money they get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 5, 2015 The number is now 1,000,001. I bought it over the weekend. Bought the DLC ages ago(Russian eShop loophole), so now I'll finally be able to shift that HW icon in my notifications. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 5, 2015 What was annoying was that almost a year later I had to pay the RRP for the game. I might as well have bought it day 1 so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 6, 2015 It's amazing how well Ninty games tend to hold their value. Some of them are difficult to find, that's part of the problem. Third party games, they're the complete opposite. Most of them you can pick up for relatively little. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 7, 2015 This game is deep. It's actually a bit overwhelming. I had to click through countless times just to get to the main menu. No word of a lie it was at least 30 times, probably 50 times. So many unlockables, updates, weapons, items, characters. It took 3/4 hour for the first stage. What have I let myself in for?

It is at first. It stick with it. So so good. Adventure maps are also hard to get in to but well worth it. Though I'd use a faq for the items as it can be a horrible grind at times.

Posted May 7, 2015 I missed a Skulltula which is still annoying me, it disappeared before I could finish the objective. I know it sounds silly but couldn't figure out the map. I probably have OCD when it comes to games, it definitely doesn't extend outside of there. But I wouldn't finish the level until all red was obliterated from the map. Oh yeah and I missed killing the wizard, had to retreat to get hearts and he f*cked off. Every 30 seconds there was a pop-up with something new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Story wouldn't get very far if you killed everyone straight away. If you try to kill everything on the map, prepare to fail a lot. It's all about deciding what most requires your attention. Generally for Legend Mode, do what people tell you. (And don't even touch Adventure Mode until you see the credits, trust me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(And don't even touch Adventure Mode until you see the credits, trust me. I thought the Skulltula would be at the centre of the web, didn't realise it was a search within the web and that they're hidden. Their sound helps a tiny bit. I did try Adventure Mode but realise now I'm way to weak and it's all locked away really. It's a good game, I like it, something I'll pick up now and again to complete. It's very deep with so much to do and customise. I unlocked the Smithy but haven't made anything yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 19, 2015 In Legend Mode, is the lower path, the one that starts with Cia, is it meant to be harder? The game really throws you in at the deep end. It took a long while to figure things out like defending bases or defending certain characters within the battlefield. I'm still figuring things out. Should I finish the upper path before doing the baddies. I presume that's what that's all about, their side of the story? I play an hour here or there every second night. Any advice I should know about? I've made a few badges for each character. Should I be using the Smithy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It really is something that you should be doing after the main story with the goodies. It takes you through the basics of keep capturing etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 16, 2015 Shall I get it for 34,99 euros (don't try to convert it to pounds, as it doesn't help me in this case)? If your a Zelda fan then go for it. It has hours worth of content, although it is pretty grindy. If you have a 3DS you might want to consider waiting for that version, although the Wii U version will probably remain the better version.

I know it's action only game which is the only thing that worries me (doesn't matter how many of them you kill, more will come) is the story "good" (has just to be OK, I don't expect something brilliant, it's not that kind of game) and do you feel the upgrades when you do upgrade?

It's a fairly typical Zelda plot, but I enjoyed it. It's nothing groundbreaking. The upgrades certainly help kill monsters quicker which means you can kill more and a lot of the weapons have nice little throwbacks to the previous Zelda games or some are just fun to mess around with.
