I wasn't a huge fan of the original; the zelda/link storyline and the
silent realm trials
were my favourite parts of the game as far as I recall.
I was kind of on the fence about buying the HD remake, but when I found out you can silence Fi I was on board. I haven't gotten too far in the game yet but I'm looking forward to seeing it all again and re-evaluating the game.

Did anyone else get it? How do you like it so far?

I haven't purchased the remake, however I have played the original. I enjoyed it a lot! I did find swinging my arm around tiring after long sessions, the gimmick of swinging your own sword got old fairly quickly IMO.

It has some fantastic dungeons. I recently watched this video outlining the brilliant dungeon design, I recommend anyone who has played the game take a look.
Groose is good looking, story is actually very fast developed, Song of the Hero is the best quest, and this game should be called the Legend of Link.

Oh, this video is familiar, but I'll give it a rewatch.

I remember being let down in the dungeons a bit. I think I kept reading the stone tablets in them expecting them to be riddles and then it ruined the puzzle for me :( so this time around I definitely won't be reading the tablets, and I will probably appreciate the dungeons a lot more
@liang stop trolling XD

@amu do you have a favourite dungeon? I remember really enjoying the Sandship when I played it.
In Skyward Sword? I think my favourite one was the one with all the time shifting stones - I think the Mining Facility one?
Sandship had a really cool theme, I remember enjoying the setting.

My favourite dungeon of all time might be Snowpeak in Twilight Princess. Just cause I love block puzzles for some reason :p and the hidden area in Twilight Princess where there are like 5 block puzzles in a row is 👌
I think it feels more satisfying to me to solve puzzles that don't involve your characters external space? or something? Solving a puzzle where I'm changing the environment is cool, but something about the block puzzles feels more tangible or more obvious as a puzzle so for some reason its more satisfying to me

Funny, I remember hating the Mining Facility! Can't remember why, but I know I felt a sense of relief when I finished that one.

To be honest...I've never played Twilight Princess. I know, I should get to it. I think it's the only Zelda game released on a console that I haven't played before.

In terms of all time favourite dungeon...Stone Tower Temple from Majora's Mask is probably the first one that comes to mind. Flipping the level upside-down in addition to being able to use all the previous abilities from the acquired masks was a great final dungeon for that game.
