Me personally very excited since I enjoy the Zelda series. This game was the reason I planned on getting a DS when I heard about it a while ago. Really felt I could do fine without one but this game sealed it for me. Now I am a happy DS owner and I will be getting this game Tuesday.

I'll pick it up once I know they for sure have a few copies at the EB. They always get DS shipments late here.

Got it at Circuit City along with some free stuff:

Phantom hourglass stylus pen
A green cloth screen cleaner
Headphones with Hero of Winds Link on it.

Game is great... I just got the first temple after getting the Phantom Hourglass,

My hand keeps on getting in way of the screen. They should have just made this book form like Brain Age.

Wait wait wait. This released yesterday??

Ho-crap.

I bought a couple of japanese stylus pens before the game came out here and these pens are WIN!

Perfect for Zelda but seriously add +10 to whatever you thought of elite beat agents, point blank, and a bunch of other games. Should be obvious but the betterness is over the top, for true.

Yeah the game shipped on Monday instead of the normal media release day of tuesday.

I'm gonna try to get this tomorrow.

So how is this game, i'm no zelda fanboy and I only think zelda is ok but are the features in this like really innovative and fun that I may like it?

Well I got it yesterday, played a few hours of it so far, and I can assure you that it uses every single feature of the DS... well not so much of any buttons except for some shortcuts like to pull your maps. You will mostly use the touch screen, but the microphone will come to use as well. And if you played Trace Memory, you will find that some of the puzzles are solved in similar ways.

I must say.. I'm currently at a part where I'm glad to be at home, because I would just look like a total maniac if I was out in the bus playing (shouting at a tinny machine is never the way people tend to enjoy getting attention).

My brother erased my only save file...I think I'm gonna cry...
