The game really looks like they're trying to flesh her character out a little more. Speaking of which…I liked Tetra a hell of a lot but I'm kind of glad to have “Zelda” back for Spirit Tracks.

I'm hoping someone actually picks it up as a gift this year for me. Do you remember how long it was? I'm trying to catch up on my lack of Minish Cap and Phantom Hourglass before Spirit Tracks.

Ocarina of Time's ending wouldn't be nearly as touching if they kissed and made out. it's way more dificult to convey feelings by the way characters behave, express themselves and move their eyes than… you know, materializing it.

final fantasy for instance, usually takes the cheap path, thankfully Zelda games don't.
