Nintendo's Zelda replacement policy

How do we know if we have that bug if we haven't gotten to that part of the game yet? is there a way by looking at serial codes or something?

Tha nature of the bug is a tricky one. It only happens if you save and quit in the middle of a story event so it is possible with all older Zelda discs. The new ones probably just have a small patch applied to keep that one glitch from happening, and all newer discs likely have it as well. My advice to avoid this bug in a non-spolier fashion: If you ever find yourself in a situation where you have a task to perform, but have to wait for someone to leave to perform it do not stop half way through. Just finish the task (there are very few that involve cannons) and then save afterwards and you should be safe.

See, thats just Nintendo being lazy, not good.

They should just send out a patch via WiiConnect24, but since they never built the infrastructure, Wii isn't capable of doing something like that...

Sucks to be me, livin' in Mexico....

And it's not lazy to ship a game that needs a patch the very first day?

All games need a patch the first day they ship.

Just make a habit of alternating among the three save slots. Problem (almost) solved.

I hope they do the same thing for the bridge bug (saving & quitting on the other side causes you to be the WRONG side when you reload) as it's completely hamstrung my game. Admittedly, not as drastic as 50 hours play time, but still...

What does the bug do? Ive already beat the game with no problems at all....

This is an online system.

I have to mail in my disc?

C'mon, Nintendo...
