Yeah, they did. I've been playing it and it's a pretty decent adaptation.

I suspected as much.
Well, I may need to look into getting it, then.  All my friends had N64s, so I only got to play it at friends' houses.

I think I might be enjoying this one more than Twilight Princess.  It has a lot more to just randomly discover, I think.  And Medli is the freaking best.  I'm at the part where she's sailing around with me right now.  :D

I take it you haven't watched the full game grumps playthrough then. There are some golden moments involving Medli in that series.

Twilight Princess is good but it's far from my favourite.

Nah, I skipped most of that one.  I plan on watching it through once I finish the game though.

Yeah, it's the only one I've actually played, before now, so it was the only one I knew about.  Having not played a Zelda game before it, I thought it was fantastic.  It seems a lot slower than Wind Waker, though.  Like, there are a lot of times in the game where... not much happens.

Twilight Princess is generally seen as the worst Zelda game, after the CD-I ones, of course.. I personally think it's pretty decent, could have been a lot better tho..but I DID enjoy it more than Skyward Sword (don't kill me, Zelda fans..). I think the worst I've played was the 'sequel to windwaker' on the DS, I even forgot the name..there were two, I didn't bother with the second one.

My first Zelda game was Oracle of Ages, it's super cute. I always picked the dodongo companion : 3

The DS games were Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks (now that I think about it Spirit Tracks sounds like a moonshine smuggling operation). Phantom Hourglass I played to the end despite the outrageous "Temple of the Ocean King" thing which made so many people dislike it. I liked the game but I rank it below Twilight Princess. Spirit Tracks is slightly better than Phantom Hourglass but Ironically I didn't finish all of it.

Oracle of Ages is the only Oracle game I've played. I liked the island with the severely birdbrained reptiles.

Oooohhh :D That's awesome, I love Pokemon Trozei! When the newest one came out, the place I was living didn't have wifi that my 3DS liked so I had to take the train all the way to bestbuy, get a nintendo points card, then go to a McDonalds near my house and leech their wifi for like 40 minutes while it dowloaded >_>

IN THE RAIN, NO LESS!!!
Gah, doing things in the rain is really tiring. :I
I love leeching BK's, McD, and the library's wifi if I ever need them. :P (And DD if they have a good connection; I haven't used theirs much)

I've played both and I think Spirit Tracks solved a lot of problems that Phantom Hourglass had, like: unnecessary timed dungeons, clunky stealth portions, and kind of generic storyline. I hadn't finished it yet because I am horrible at finishing games (and I lent my DSi to a friend), but I loved the trains and being able to adventure with Zelda and the bunnies and just ~everything~ about it.

Yes, I actually played through Phantom Hourglass (thanks) a few times, it's just after the wind waker, it seems so weak of a sequel.

Ah yes, the reptiles! That was a fun part...and I remember thinking the Zoras were underwater ghosts xD

Oh yeah, there was some bunny stuff now that you mention it. I have this vague memory of hunting down and blasting rabbits with train-mounted cannons. Then there was this amazonian all-male lumberjack village that was looking for ma!l-order brides. Now I want to play the game again to get these things sorted out.

I think both of those are correct :D
