PAL Zelda

pauljames · 29-04-2003, 1:31 PM

I have a copy (with bonus disk) in my hands now!

Was on pre-order from Game web site and arrived this morning.

But I'm at work and I'm sure 7 hours will never feel so long until I can get home and see if it is really worth 10/10 (according to the box art).

Now only 6 hours 55 minutes and counting....

Cheers,
Paul

It's a mini-guide, not an in-depth players guide

James45 · 29-04-2003, 7:27 PM

wayhay!! order shipped and I only ordered it 3 hours 40 minutes ago!

Pulsar · 29-04-2003, 10:30 PM

Hi,

I will answer my own question.

I have received my Platinum cube with Zelda.

Nuff said.

Rob

James45 · 30-04-2003, 12:37 AM

beauty! I'm so tempted with a platinum cube.

30-04-2003, 5:11 AM

I desperately want a platinum cube! If the trade in on cubes wasn't so low, I'd seriously consider trading in my purple one for a platinum one. I get wound up about this. I wanted a cube, got one as soon as I could. Then, THEN, they release the s****y silver one to try and tempt people to get one, when they don't even want one! If you're desperate for a platinum gamecube, or a green xbox, chances are you've had a stock one for ages already.
P.S is zelda good? I've never been into zelda, but this time round I think I'm tempted.. Is it Zelda Newbie friendly?

It deleted the middle of the word s w a n k y. Pfff.

Pulsar · 30-04-2003, 12:20 PM

Hi,

The Platinum Cube does look quite cool, and matches my silver/platinum Gamboy Advance SP nicely.

Pardonthewait,
I have never really played much Zeelda before, but the gamecube one is very easy to get into, and yes it is a very good game.

This is my first experience of a Zelda game and I must say I'm loving it. I was ready to go back to Mario Sunshine during the start of the game because it's soooo tedious but I'm glad I kept playing cos I can't put it down. I was a bit sceptical about the cartoony graphics too but they work so well and I think fit the nature of the game.

Can't wait to start on Ocinara either....

Might have to look into that... Personally, I love the graphics. Video I've seen of the game makes it look just like a cartoon, and I don't see how that's bad... It just looks so fluid, and his face is amazingly expressive. The animation team did a fine job.

RL123 · 01-05-2003, 9:15 PM

Amazon dispatched mine today

Should be here tomorrow (or Saturday at the latest)

James45 · 02-05-2003, 12:46 AM

mine still hasn't arrived with next day delivery from Game on Tuesday... should have stuck with amazon

BIONIC MAN · 02-05-2003, 1:06 PM

Rec'd mine today with BONUS DISC Well Happy

Just one thing it's all in one case and not two like the ntsc disc's
were , It that correct for the Pal release

I trought it was going to be the same as the ntsc release ,
So to all that have rec'd there Pal Zelda's did the two disc come in a Limited Edition Gold case .

Also do you get the Bonus Disc in the Zelda GameCube Pak

RL123 · 02-05-2003, 1:45 PM

Got my discs this morning from Amazon

Yes it comes in a LE gold case with the bonus disc on a little plastic inlay (ala Resident Evil)

Bloody good game btw...played it for 5 minutes and I already loved the graphics. Played it for about an hour or so this morning and it's really impressed me

Should be a great game

BIONIC MAN · 02-05-2003, 8:50 PM

Just how Limited is the Limited Edition with Bonus Disc

As WWW.Play.Com still have them instock , so they have not sold many on Pre-order or they just rec'd shed loads of Zelda with the Bonus Disc

Also There's loads forsale on Ebay

To me it's not sold that well , or it's been a Big con just to get people to buy on Pre-Order

What do you all Think

RL123 · 03-05-2003, 12:45 AM

How limited? Not very. Most shops were selling the 2-disc version today.

I'd guess about 500,000 were produced for PAL regions

Dont know what happened there then? i ordered mine on Thursdayy morning about 1am from game used same postage as you and it arrived today

RL123 · 03-05-2003, 1:56 PM

To those who have it:

Anyone else think 'best graphcis ever'?

It's absolutlely incredible IMO and easily one of the best-looking games I've ever seen.

People are entitled to think it looks rubbish, but they're wrong. Simple as that IMO.

Nintendo made a very wise move by cel-shading it. There is so much emotion and detail in Link's face that it wouldn't have been possible if the game was like the Spaceworld version.

Nero · 03-05-2003, 2:51 PM

Had this since Thursday now, superb game, and i think think the graphics are stunning. Love the facial expressions.

They're courier lost it, they're sending out another one tuesday, not really the point as I wanted it for this weekend!!

Definitely should have stuck with amazon.

BIONIC MAN · 03-05-2003, 5:32 PM

Just go into any games shop and buy the Game with the Bonus disc

As every shop I went into today had it for sale , not that Limited
Then ? ?
