Even if it was indeed larger, which it may have been, once you left the main town, there was nowhere to go except in one of the 4 main compass point directions. Sure, Zelda: OoT was more or less the same (not exactly at the compass points, I know), but it seemed a lot more segmented to me in Majora's Mask. The more I hear about Ura Zelda, I realize it's just Zelda: OoT remix. I was hoping for whole new dungeons and areas to explore, but apparantly it's just Ocarina of Time with a few puzzles changed. Kinda weak, but hey, it's free, and being like OoT is *not* a bad thing ... ~Matt ~Matt "Reality continues to ruin my life." - - Calvin, Calvin and Hobbes [ To quit the NGamers mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe ] [ NGamers" (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2002 19:46:17 -0500 From: DarkBastion@aol.com Subject: Re: [NG] Nintendo Officially Confirms U.S. Zelda Bonus Disc Promo In a message dated 12/17/2002 5:45:03 PM Eastern Standard Time, Jedcross2 writes: > In a message dated 12/17/02 6:31:50 AM Eastern Standard Time, treytable@earthlink.net writes: > > > > Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is scheduled to ship on March 24, 2003 in the US. > Source: GameSpot > > > > What is "Legend of Zelda: The Wing Waker" is that for GCN? > -Jed > > > "According to my Calculations, when this baby hits 88 Miles > per hour, we're gonna see some serious shit" > ~Doc Brown, Back to the Future You stupid son of a bitch.
