One of the best games I’ve ever played.
Simply genius.

I remember reading about this game in Nintendo Power, and being utterly amazed. I decided to pre-order it and counted down the days until it arrived. Out of the blue, I called on the evening before they were supposed to get them in to see whether they were there yet, and they were! But only for people who had pre-ordered. I was slightly disappointed to find that I didn’t get the gold-colored cartridge they promised with a pre-order, but that wasn’t what was important. That game was amazing. And challenging, too.

In fact, my very first introduction to Japanese was in that article in Nintendo Power, where they said that at a preview showing of the Japanese version, people would call out “Konnichiwa!” Since then (though for various reasons) I’ve spent 7 years studying Japanese! Mostly on my own, on and off, but 2 years in university as well. Just a little memory I can attribute to Zelda OoT :)
