I'd love to travel a bit as well! Japan would probably destroy my finances - I'd wind up living there as I wouldn't have the money to get home! - but I'd love to go to some places like New Zealand, or anywhere else with a lot of natural beauty. There's plenty of that in this country if you know where to go, but it's not quite as...exciting.
It's pretty fun! I wouldn't call it a fighting game, but more of a hack and slash, although I think of fighting games as strictly 2D, button combo affairs...the ones I suck at. xD;
It's got difficulty modes, though...on easy mode you can pretty much win just by button mashing. I haven't tried hard yet, and won't until I've built my characters up a bit, aha. It's like any Dynasty Warriors game, only with Zelda characters, making it much better (really not keen on normal DW games; they're so bland!) and the music is pretty good, too.
