Zelda: WindWaker?

I read it's only if you pre-order it, that it comes with.

Sorry

Does anyone know the order of the games go in? Not release dates, but in story order? Like I said I played both of the games on the NES and I think one on the SNES. Never had a GameBoy or a N64 so I never got a chance to play any of the others. I'm playing through the Ocaraina of Time and am loving it so far. Makes me want to play the others, but I'd settle for just knowing the order of the stories.

Actually, I think some of the basic ideas are repeated, except for the Game Boy ones, which are mostly original (unless you've played both Oracles, along with secrets. I won't spoil it), that whole "Ganondorf trying to take over the world using the triforce" thing, except for, I believe, Majora's Mask.

Unofficial Zelda Timeline

In strict regard to the chronological order of the console games, that general timeline is basically accepted as fact.

Each Zelda game features a different Link and Princess Zelda, save for the original and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, which occured within a matter of years of each other. Link to the Past occurs many, many years before the original Zelda, and Ocarina of Time takes place about 100 years before Link to the Past (Shigeru Miyamoto has even said as much).

pre-ordered a while back, eagerly anticipating amazon sending it to me. I saw it in a store this weakend, whether an import or some pre-relaes thing I don't know and I was wowed even more so than the reviews wowed me into getting the pre-order.

Hey, I preordered it as well... except I preordered from the store at the mall rather than an internet vendor. Do you dudes know if I can pick up the bonus disc early, or do I have to wait for the game to be released?

I really don't want to miss out on the bonus disc, because I didn't own a Nintendo64 and I didn't get to play Ocarina. I have this irrational fear that I'll go to the store on release day and they'll say, "sorry man, we're out of the bonus discs." And then I will be forced to go on a killing spree.

It depends on the vendor. Some will ship the disc right away, others may ship it with Wind Waker. I'd email the vendor to find out for sure...

Thanks. I was in the area last night so I stopped by the store and inquired. According to the clerk, they had some bonus discs, but there's a shortage and I may not get one until sometime after the actual game is released (the unspoken additional words "if ever, hahahahah" hung in the air ). Bummer. Of course, knowing the way these stores work, they probably called all their friends first and gave away the bonus discs.

I really need to find a better vendor for these things. It's a shame there's such a shortage of RPGs for the cube, else I wouldn't be so hungering for this game.

Rumour is the reason their is a shortage is a lot of game stores were selling the game by its self for a profit, instead of just as the bonus deal Nintendo had planned.
