Sorry, but not much in the way of news in Hyrule today. But with Zelda coming in less than a month, you can bet on some tommorow.

Think we have slipped by all the Zelda delays? No. You poor people in Europe and Australia have to wait three more weeks!!!!!!!!! It will now be released on December 18, instead of November 27th. The American version is still scheduled for November 23, and the Japanese version still for November 21. I live in the USA, but I feel for ya. I really do. This is a horrible mess. "Why did this happen?!", I hear you wail at your computer screen. Reasons are unclear. Sorry.

Legend of Zelda action figures? Fine by me. If you look at the picture below, it seems there is adult Link, adult Zelda, and Ganondorf Dragmire. Also, another intresting tidbit, look closely at the side of the box. Doesn't Ganondorf look cool? Maybe that's him after he's become Ganon. These I am definetly collecting.

Also, today, Zelda will start to be put out on display, yes, to play, at many stores. Within a week or so, it should be at most places that are putting it up. Exciting, eh? I think it's exciting :-)
