Happy New Year!

This year saw the release of some awesome Nintendo stuff. The main one being the 3DS, which had a poor launch, but is picking up some steam now. For the 3DS, masterpieces like the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of TIme 3D and Lylat Wars 3D came out, taking us back to the age of Nintendo 64. Aside from that, we had some new games to take home like Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land and Super Street Fighter 3D, but not all that many great things aside from that. Coming up though: Kid Icarus Uprising and the next incarnation of the Super Smash Bros Franchise. 
This year, the Wii U was announced, causing much controversy amongst gamers. Some hated it, some saw potential and some are just in a wait and see attitude. Next E3 is when they'll be showing it again, so...fingers crossed?
The Wii saw the release of Kirby, Xenoblade Chronicles and above all: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, the best game of all time!
Happy new Year!

4EVER's favourite Zelda games 6

Doctor will most certainly rage about this, but The Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks is at number 6 on my list. Basically, Spirit Tracks is an add on to Phantom Hourglass where Link is now an engineer in training in a world set "a generation" after Phantom hourglass. Almost everything about this game is done better than Hourglass, from the puzzles and design to the story and characters. For the first time, Zelda was your companion and friend, not just a kid waiting for you to collect some rocks for her. The world of Spirit Tracks is the most engaging of all the Zelda's I've played and thanks to that, the one I've completed the most. I've done everything bar catching some bunnies, but honestly, I think that's forgivable. And no more repeating the Temple of the Ocean King over and over, this time, you can skip all the floors of the Spirit Tower that you've done. However, on the minus side, the train in the game is just plain annoying. It's so slow and so frustrating. In fact,everything bad about the game can be attributed to the train. The graphics, the combat, the slowness. But, all that aside, Spirit Tracks is probably the best game on DS, that and TWEWY.

4EVER's favourite Zelda games 7

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass was the first of two Zelda games to hit the DS, and it hit hard. It had some amazing ideas for controls, puzzles and boss battles, utilising both screens in a unique manner. The sword combat deserves a mention. It's remarkably fun, if simple. 
Set after the events of Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass let you explore the open sea as Toon Link once again to save Zelda. While this game has so much going for it, there is one thing that is really frustrating about it which pushes it back. The Temple of the Ocean King. WHYYYYYYYY!?!?!?
For starters, each time you return to it (and you return to it a lot) You have to do everything you did beforehand all over again. Sure, there are a few shortcuts, but seriously! Plus, you have a yippy skippy time limit as well. But Phantom Hourglass does do much right. The temples, the exploring, the ship combat, the boss battles. So good!

4EVER's favourite Zelda games 8

Ima do my list of my 8 favourite zelda games. Your probably wondering, why eight? SHUT UP! DIS BE MAH BLOG< NAWT YAWS!!


At number 8, we have the loveable game: The Legend of Zelda Four Sword (25th anniversary edition) This little game was really fun seeing as it had some fantastic and unique multiplayer (which Terfle and the Doctor really enjoyed) so, if I had so much fun, why number eight? Because, well, with the three of our effort combined, it took a mere 3 hours to beat. That's right. 3. Merely. Hours... While it was a blast to play and had some epic puzzles, boss battles and fights, it was over in three hours. That and single player mode is not fun at all. Tried it, failed to even come close to having fun. That coupled with the fact that it's only local multiplayer makes it one of the most lackluster Zelda titles in the franchise. Still, it is just so much fun to play with friends. I do recommend this, even if you only get it to play multiplayer. (Free though)


Nintendo, me want moar.
