Gamespot posted their E3 2004 documentary: "Stupid Pants Operation: Gamespot at E3 2004" in the Zelda section, because it's related... It's and interesting video, you should check it out...
This one is tough for me... 3-D games make the world that much more real, but I grew up with 2-D games and unlike most people I can go from GCN to NES without even blinking at graphics. I really love the look of Minish Cap or the GCN's Four Swords Adventures, I also like the gameplay in 2-D. But there was nothing like playing OoT for the first time, it was so immersive. I'd say I'm down the middle with this.
Continuing to do 2-D Zelda's would be cool, but you could do a OoT style game on the DS, which would also be cool. But a Zelda game on DS, might sway me to actually getting a DS.
I liked Minish Cap overall, but I found it pretty easy. And I didn't like the dungeons, they where pretty simple and most of them had an obvious line that if you followed, you'd get through in one pass. But it's got nice graphics and the shrinking idea was played out well.
I finished the game! I really enjoyed it, I went in with low expectations, but came out pleased with how the adventure turned out. The final palace is tricky, but I eventually figured out the route that would take me as quickly as possible to the final destination. During the run I basically tried to get as far as possible on one life as I could saving the others, just incase I need a nother shot at the Thunderbird. I managed to beat him this time, thanks to having reflect as well as shield and jump.
Zelda II is definately a different experience than the other Zelda games, but if you just take it for what it's worth, it's a pretty good game. Thumbs UP!
I don't mind having a fairy for a helper, as long as I don't have to hear: "HEY!!" every time I start exploring, just because she thinks I need a hint.
