Wait, forget the more in-depth interview I alluded to, I was actually thinking of the “timeline” question further down the page. So yeah, that link sums it up pretty well.

If you’re really hardcore, I suggest [this site](http://www.n-sider.com/index_content.php?page=features/legendsofzelda.htm). It has all you would ever need to know about Zelda continuity.

I was going to mention that too, but I didn’t want to confuse the poor lad 😉

Also, that was written before the interview. Interesting how accurately it turned out.

Anyone get their copy yet. I was told to wait until the 24th, now they are saying, “Oh, someone made a mistake… that’s the shipping date.”

This has happened before, damnit. Why can’t people get used to saying when the game will BE OUT rather than the day it ships!?

Do you hear film ads that say, “Shipping this Thursday to a theater near you”? NO, BECAUSE IT WOULD CONFUSE THE SHIT OUT OF PEOPLE!

I was specifically told I would get my hands on the mother today.

☹

Call the store & ask them, they might let it go early like some did with the gba sp…Im pretty sure they have it in store already, but in the back just waiting for the time to bring them out 🙂
