not 1 1/2 stars not by the reveiws I read. There is no reason people can demote this game before it comes out. There is alos no way you can praise it. But, I feel that it will be a great game not a "Mario Party Clone". But, personally I am a Zelda Manic. I buy just about every Zelda game the day it comes out. I will buy this one the first day it comes out. I got a few problems with it but no game is perfect. Like Zelda the Wind Waker. People said "Oh, the graphic suck. I am not going to buy it." Nintendo replied "Just wait and try it." To me the same will happen

This video game is by far the worst game we have ever gotten our kids.
The game itself isn't bad actually -- the problem is that it causes huge fights between our children and with our children.

The first issue is that you cannot save the game except at the end of each level, and the levels sometimes can take over an hour to complete -- this is a major problem for us because we have a time-limit on game-playing and that simply doesn't work with this game.

The second issue is sharing -- there are many items that are available during the game, but they are not equivalent and it is difficult to distribute them fairly among the players. This is a particular problem with young players who do not understand why they cannot have the "Pegasus Boots" or the only 1000-gem powerup.

The third issue is that this game requires cooperation between the players to get where you want to go. Unfortunately, some kids want to explore and try and find hidden things on the screen, etc. So you end up with one kid impatiently wanting to finish and other kids dawdling around, and then a fight of course. Not only that, the players can attack each other, kill each other, pick each other up and throw, and steal items from each-other -- AAAARRGH!

Finally, just to add insult to injury, there is a "voting" system at the end of each level where the players can vote for "most annoying player," "least helpful player," etc. and then it tallies up the results, adds in the items that were found during the game, and makes a huge deal over who got the most points and is the "hero of light" ... the worst player is the (...)

If you like the puzzles you'll like it

My 4 year old and I finished this game in 2 weeks. I am NOT what you'd call a Nintendo guru or anything. We have all of the Zelda games and this is BY FAR the easiest. If you enjoy the zelda games for the plots, fighting and game experience, you'll be disappointed. If you enjoy the Zelda games for the puzzles, you'll enjoy it completely. I am very happy that finally once you get rid of things they are gone and don't come back when you re-enter the room. And I enjoyed all the puzzle games. But if I can beat all the bosses....anyone can.

Use only with Gameboy Advance

This game is not worth buying or renting unless you have other players, to play with you, which also means you need the Gameboy Advance, and the cable to connect it to the Gamecube. The graphics are what you would see on a Gameboy Color, so unless you are using as a multiplayer game, don't bother even renting it.

It will be great

This game will be great, it even comes with a GBA-GCN gamelink cable so you can use your GBA(if you have one)but the only thing you need the GBA and the cable is for multiplayer. THere is a one player mode, and you can use a GCN controller. This game will be great.

This game is definatley different from most other Zelda games. But that definatley DOES NOT mean it is any less fun. It is great. The levels are kind of short, but there are alot of them though. 24 to be exact. Well actually there is 8, but each level is divided into 3 mini-levels. The picture is sort of bad, but that is definatley understandable because it is a remake of an older game, from like the 80's or something. Actually its not even a remake, its the same game just made onto a disc, for more modern systems. This isn't one of those games you beat once and never want to play it again. It is one of the ones you like to play over and over.

one of the best out there

I just got done playing this game. it is great. I love how you can connect with your gameboy. it is a good multiplayer game and is good single player game too. it may not have the best graphics but they're pretty good for gameboy. try playing it, it's really good.

Personally, i was dissapointed in this game. After nintendo had overdone themselves with other zelda games, they threw it away in this 2D world. yeah, the fact that you can be 4 different people is cool, but there is hardly any challenge. Also, the story line was hardly standerd for a Zelda game. It had a lot of holes and the suprise ending was pretty lame. I was so excited that it was a multiplayer too. But to play multiplayer, you have to have 4 gameboy advanced and conection cables too.
