Ocarina of Time warps onto Virtual Console this Monday

by Ludwig Kietzmann { Feb 23rd 2007 at 7:00PM }

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is surely a game that needs no introduction.

So, in closing, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will be available on the Wii's Virtual Console service this Monday as of 9AM Pacific Time. The chance to ride Epona, exact vengeance upon the Skull Kid, travel through time and hurl verbal atrocities at the Water Temple designers can be yours once again for the sum of 1,000 Wii points ($10, or more rupees than your current purse can hold).

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in!]

Confirmed: Ocarina of Time on the VC this Monday

by Alisha Karabinus { Feb 23rd 2007 at 4:27PM }

After this morning's news, we hoped that the U.S. would see The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on the Virtual Console soon, but we'd only prayed that it might come as soon as Monday. Those prayers, it seems, have been answered. For a mere $10, gamers will be able to relive -- and for some, experience for the first time -- one of the most acclaimed experiences in gaming history.

We're counting down the seconds.

[Thanks, vidGuy!]

VC Friday: Riots in the streets

by Alisha Karabinus { Feb 23rd 2007 at 10:45AM }

Today's news: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time hits the Virtual Console in Europe, and every gamer in Japan and the U.S. shakes their fist and curses Nintendo. What a coup! It seems like things are really hot and cold for Europe when it comes to gaming. Usually, gamers have to pace around, waiting for games and systems that are months delayed, but when you guys get something early, it tends to be pretty awesome.

So ... you downloading it today? OoT isn't cheap by VC standards, but is that much to pay for what many consider to be one of the best video games of all time?

Today's releases:

Kid Icarus -- NES -- 500 Wii points
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time -- N64 -- 1000 Wii points

For Wii-less GameCube owners it's a no-brainer; you pro'ly been had your copy of Twilight Princess. But for those few Wii owners who are considering the GameCube edition, still unable to take decisive action, here are several takes on how the two versions match up:

Ocarina of Time adult Link collectible statue

by Christopher Grant { Dec 8th 2006 at 9:55AM }

First4Figures is back again, with another collectible statue based on the ever-so-popular Nintendo franchises of our youth. This time it's not the growth-hormone abusing Fierce Deity Link or the creepy Skull Kid, but the hunky all-~~American~~Hylian Ocarina of Time Link, adult version. Like the rest of F4F's offerings, this one doesn't come cheap. These aren't action figures you're going to be playing with, but collectible statues you're supposed to display. Think of it more like the collectible statues in Wind Waker, except you don't need to take pictures of people to get them ... and you don't have to find a sculptor's hidden underground lair.
