Yea, Ocarina of Time, and Majora's Mask was so easy that any old fool could beat it in a day in the first day of playing it. Shigeru Miyamoto just wanted to make a game where you play for a day and beat it the same day. The day where you beat OoT in a day is the day I give up gaming. I even have a hard time seeing Triffy beat OoT in a day (not saying he can't, but still I have a hard time seeing that).

...

My personal best is 12 hours. Which is an awful awful time. The record is...around six hours I believe. I slowly improve each time. I completely severed my 11 hour run over the summer though. So sad. T_T; So many mistakes.

Time for you to give up gaming. And just before the release of the Wii too. What a shame. XD

Anyway...a standard first runthrough of TP should take around 50-70 hours depending on your skill level.

(If there was any confusion though. I did not beat OoT in one day when I first played it. I experienced it fully. Only through recent playthroughs have I tried to do that)

I feel ashamed XD
Being a UK gamer, I have to suffer the pain of letting other people play the Wii weeks before me.
I really couldn't care what scores reviewers give the game, aslong as I enjoy playing it.
I'm good.
All you got to do is fly over to the US, grab a Wii, find some way to plug in the Wii over there and there you have it. XD

Yo dudes, have you ever heard about this game called Elite Beat Agents? When I saw some gameplay videos I was all like wow this game sure looks awesome!

Heck even EGM gave it almost a straight 9.0 for that game.

This is another reason why I need to get a DS quick!

You can check out this video and see for yourself!

I saw the game when X-Play talked about it when they where at the TGS back in 05. It doesn't really look like a game I want. But that's just me. XD

Was that 12 hours over days, or 12 hours straight? Because I'm talking about one day. XD

No it's not, not unless you're Mario Famous. XD

For me I always take far longer then what they say it takes. FFXII is said to take 40 hours yet I'm already on 50, mainly because I always going around running around everywhere and checking everything.

Twelve hours straight, of course.

I plan before hand when I want to play OoT all day. So, I make sure I'm free. Wake up early, and play until I'm done. Whenever I have to eat, have a drink, or go to the washroom, I'll pause. Then I write how much time that took, and subtract it from my total play time afterwards.

You beat Zelda pretty fast Tirforce. I have only tried speed runs on two games which are Metroid Prime and Resident Evil 4. It took me 6:38 to pass Prime, I thought everything ahead, the levels, the bosses and how I would beat them, it was all perfectly planned, I thought it was good but the record is 1:54! Resident Evil 4 only took me 6 hours, it was a good time, at least that's what I thought, especially starting a new file so you don't have all the weapons you end with. However, I did pass it again in like 2 hours but that time I was equipped with the Matilda so that made it much, much easier. For the record, my first tries on both games were the following(approximate times because I don't remember exact times): 20-22 for Prime and 12-15 for RE4.

I did just pass Gears of War, with my brother, in about 8 hours our first time through. On "Hardcore" difficulty.

Anyways, I was going to buy the Wii, Zelda, an extra nunchuck, Rayman, and another game but now I'm just getting the Wii, and Zelda on launch and I will then get the other games later...and the extra controller set.

I've actually seen a Zelda stopwatch before, Andy. XD It was green, and featured Link from the original game.

The only stop watches I have are those cheap ones from cereal boxes, and I can't seem to operate those properly. T_T;

I never plan out my playthrough before hand. I just go. And, I only slightly go for speed. Someimtes I take time to find the Biggoron's Sword, sometimes not. Sometimes I read everything, sometimes I just skip it. Sometimes I roll, sometimes I walk (I should walk backwards, but that's hard).

I'd never be able to speed run...I find it impossible to sit there and play a game for more than an hour or two straight without taking a break, and coming back later. XD

I'd been trying to replay OoT (only the second time I've played through it...first was yeeeeeeeears ago when one of my friends let me play it XD), but Andy got me hooked on FFX, and plus I started the Water Temple. Holy crap I hate that place. >>

So yeah...I haven't played OoT that much since I got FFX...

I know I can't get all those as soon as possible. I'm wanting to get a Wii and Zelda:Twilight Princess on the same day. As soon as possible is what I hope for, but I think I should just stick to the idea of getting both in Christmas. I haven't really checked out any other games for the Wii, because I don't want to be obsessed over more than one, that'll just make it harder for me to choose between them. But, I was checking out Call of Duty 3, and I was interested in getting it for the Wii. But, I don't have the systems which are Xbox360, PS2 or PS3 to get it. =\

I've never tried a speed run on any game. To me it there really isn't a point to it, if you're going to play a game then play it to have fun.
And duh, FFX is only the best RPG.... best game ever made. XD

I'm getting a Wii, TP, and an extra Wiimote at launch. And maybe a nunchuck. Not sure yet. Although Circuit City's gonna have $5 off all Wii accessories.

I've actually been thinking of getting Trauma Center too, since I just learned that I'm gonna be getting $200 for helping out with a dinner in two weeks. o_O;;

I just got an e-mail from eb games, it seems that they will not hold on to your pre-order 24 hours after the launch day. Looks like I have to make it up there no matter how the weather or traffic conditions looks.

The PS3 is selling well in Japan, with at least eighty thousands consoles sold!
Nintendo has some serious competition!
Look up on eBay and Japanese Yahoo website auction.

Eh, I expected the PS3 to do well, it has a blue ray DVD player and the system is cheaper than one of those and its a gaming system. Im still going with the Wii though, and have been losing sleep over it for about a week now. Im almost scared to know how many Wiis will sell if sony had a shortage of PS3s...
Im Ronike BTW, and Ive owned every nintendo system that ever was besides NES.

I just pre-ordered the Gamecube version of Twillight Princess for my little brother! It should be delivered by December 15! ^_^
Should have got it for the Wii. XD

Right.... Nintendo needs help on selling systems. Here's some numbers for you. November 6th to the 12th.

1. DSL - 148,174
2. PS3 - 81,639 (81,639)
3. PSP - 19,123 (1,492,596)
4. PS2 - 16,157
5. 360 - 3,864
6. GBASP - 1,320
7. GBM - 1,213
8. NGC - 496
9. NDS - 279
10. GBA - 12
11. XBX - 3

Sure the DS had some days on the PS3. But I find it funny that it's at the top of the list with 12K short of being double that of the PS3.
And I think the Wii sells will be far far higher then the PS3 sells. Just wait a few days and see for yourself.

Well, I find speed-runs very entertaining, even though I've only done it twice. Yeah, it's better playing the game traditionally but speed-runs are still fun. Besides I will always play a game right the first time, speed-running through an entire game without having played it before must be hard, almost impossible for...you know...speed-running.

Of course the PS3 sold well, it just launched, that's the most demanding time for a system, when it's just out The launch demand is even higher than the Holiday demand for a system.

Speaking of the PS3 launch. Me and Robo was watching a live feed on GS. And the reporter there was offered some weed, I kid you not. Someone said "Hey you want some weed?". XD

That was hilarious. I nearly died when I saw that. XD

Then there was the guy that they asked what games he was getting with his PS3. He said Gears of War. XD

Gah, I hope I can get a Wii on Sunday...they'd better not all be sold out. >>

If it was the worst then why did you say "Nice"? XD

Well not really, I thought I heard the guy say that but I wasn't 100% sure till Robo said it. XD

I'm going to ask today, because it isn't fun to wait till tomorrow. XD

Yes it was, and I still can't get over it. XD

I wish someone was there and said "I'm in line to get a Wii". But that GoW guy was good. XD

You'll get one Robo, don't worry.

All we need to do is get Jorfe to get it. Then everyone in our lovely Higher Staff Ring (Me, Robo, David, Erica, and Jorfe) will get a Wii. XD

or I could wait.
I can't believe Aus get it one day before the UK XD so pointless

I plan to get Wii Play soon after launch, so I get a free Wiimote with it.

Well, atleast I think that the UK gets phantom hourglass first (when we finally find out,)
