But didn't they also fix it so you could get it over WiFi? I never take my 3DS out, and when I do it's never some where that I could get Street Pass. When I was playing A Link Between Worlds, I was able to fight Shadow Link a few times. I thought that was from getting Street Pass over WiFi. No?
A Link Between Worlds generates shadow links automatically on occasion. It's so you can get the in game achievements without needing streetpass.

Ah, OK.

Well, damn. You should be able to get Street Pass over WiFi (the Internet). Maybe the rule could be that if you haven't collected a Street Pass in X amount of time then you're sent one over WiFi. For the people like me that never get Street Pass.

I finally beat A Link Between Worlds last night. I pulled my normal thing, of playing a game a bunch, then dropping it for no reason. I got in the mood to play it, and it turns out, I was pretty close to the end (just had the ice dungeon and the final castle). The music in the Ice Dungeon was awesome, and I loved the layout. I ended up with just over half of the squid babies, didn't really feel like tracking down the rest of them, seeing as the upgraded items are not really necessary. Overall excellent game, and I loved the ending!

Full confession: I've hardly played any Zelda in my life. I keep hearing how good this 3DS iteration is though. So much praise I think it demands a purchase, even though I have no idea what type of game it is.

On an unrelated note is anyone playing Project X Zone or is that old news? I actually love that game but it's about 10+ hours too long and I'm not friggin' done yet.

I think a lot of the praise is coming from people that have played A Link to the Past (SNES). I'm not saying that some one who hasn't played LttP wouldn't enjoy A Link Between Worlds, but nostalgia is definitely a factor.

I am one of the people who didn't even enjoy LttP (I've only gotten to the first dungeon of the dark world before I gave up) and I consider ALBW my favorite Zelda game by far.

After enjoying ALBW, have you tried going back to LttP and seeing if you're feelings have changed about it? I ask because I know with myself, there's been games that I couldn't get into but years later was able to.

Well last time I tried was in 2013, so I don't feel my feelings will have changed so soon :P. The problem is that I find it very frustrating to traverse that game's map while in ALBW it's fast and fun.

A Link Between Worlds is pretty good but I'd say it's my least favorite Zelda game I've played. I wasn't a fan of the item rental shop and how it affected the game's progression.

I always like how in Zelda games you take mental notes of places to come back to that you can't access at the time. But in ALBW you basically get all the items from the get go. It'd probably be a really good beginner Zelda game though.

Well summer is here and my intentions is going on the 3ds all summer. I want to really dig into this thing. Since its on the go and games are cheaper than their home console counterparts, I can pick these games up. I have enough points at gamestop to get 20.00 of and I was thinking of getting Kirby return to dreamland on the wii but I already have been there and done that and the new Kirby looks amazing. I think im going to enjoy it.
