Error: The game actually launches on the 22nd, which is Friday, not Saturday.

Edit: Apparently the text following the video correctly says "Friday," but the opening and the sub-headline both use "Saturday."

Maybe he played through the Japanese version that I think came out first? Either that or yeah the original game.

Whilst many find it a wonderful game (it's definitely one of my three favourites), it was also quite divisive, largely because many people are too inept to use/are quite prejudiced towards the 1:1 motion controls, and similarly because quite a few didn't like the visual aesthetic/were disappointed it wasn't "realistic" and "dark" like Twilight Princess.

What I find more questionable is the implication that it's better than Oot, MM, and WW. Clearly the reviewer just doesn't like the 3D games...

I think it's a matter of tastes too, at least to some extent.
Currently, my top-3 is this one:
1) Majora's Mask
2) Skyward Sword
3) Ocarina of Time

And I also have Link's Awakening, Oracle of Seasons and Spirit Tracks among my other favourite titles in the series.
The ones I like the least are The Adventure of Link (which I never finished) and Twilight Princess among the polygonal ones, but all Zelda games are really good games in my opinion, and often masterpieces.

I can't wait to play A Link Between Worlds and the TWW HD, too. I think I'll get at least one of them this December. ^^

Since I last posted to this thread I got the Gold 3DSXL bundle, and A Link Between Worlds is so fun. Just about to beat the 1st temple. Smile
