What are you playing this weekend/these days?

Finished Skyward Sword (Wii). Best Zelda game I've played so far. Integration of the motion controls into combat is really well done and greatly adds to the experience. A gamepad with gyro sensor is highly recommended when emulating the game in addition to mapping the sword strokes to the right analogue stick. Over 60 hours of ingame time - wow.

SS is underrated. It's just another masterpiece..

Looking back, I had a LoZ golden age about 20 years ago. Wii was my first console after SNES and I played SS, TP, WW and OoT, all in close succession. I didn't have a preference I loved them all.

Have you played Links Awakening? I'm interested in whether you think 3D is really better.

No I haven't played Link's Awakening. As far as the old portable games go I'm only a few hours into Oracle of Seasons. I should really buy a handheld to play those old titles. Looks weird playing them on PC all blown up.

While A Link to the Past is one of my favourite games, I think the verticality adds tremendously to the dungeon designs and the fun of exploration.
