EDGE magazine: Twilight Princess best Zelda ever

Bet you a million bucks it isn't. Nintendo always delay Zelda and for
good reason.
They're hardly going to release a flagship title (and a launch game)
with broken
controls. I've hardly ever encountered a bug in a Nintendo product let
alone
a dodgy control scheme - it's one of the things they excell at.

Yeah, but I think it's pretty unlikely that they're going to release
something that bad.

Anyway, pay no attention to Kögler. As far as I can tell, everything he
posts essentially boils down to "If it isn't HD, it must suck! HD HD HD
HD HD HD HD HD HD HD!" I've no idea if it's because he's a sony fanboi
(despite his protestations) or a simple troll, but everything he's ever
posted here is straight from their playbooks.

BTW, I saw a PS3 demo kiosk recently, and the graphics are definitely
very HD -- the best part of it is the resolution (it was on a very nice
big monitor). This kiosk was playing back demo videos, but they seemed
to be rendered on the PS3, judging from the aliasing shimmer,
occasionally horrible framerates (in some places the FPS was clearly in
the single-digit range!), and other weird rendering artifacts (like in
some places there was this very odd "disconnect" between the nicely
rendered characters and the background; I can't imagine they're using
pre-rendered backgrounds, it just doesn't make sense these days, but
there was clearly something funny going on). All very HD though.

Zelda Oracle series:
Gameboy Color - super games!
Your control system won't get more limited than that, and still these
are both classics!

that wasn't a dodgy control scheme though, just a crappy gameplay

Since when has Zelda been about graphics - its always been about
inovation and gameplay, thats what make the games so great.

If I want HD graphics i'll get a PS3 and Xbox360, if I want decent
gameplay i'll stick with the the Wii.

Having always had a nintendo since the nes, I guess i am a fanboy but i
do love what they do!

......memories of 4 player goldeneye at uni... so many missed lectures!!

Just because the control options (ie, one D-pad and two buttons) are
limited, doesn't mean that the control *system* is limited.
