Any plans for Christmas yet? For me, and I guess some of you, the latest Zelda game will play as big a part as turkey and booze. Let's face it, the latest installment of the classic series - it launches alongside the Wii - is one of the few truly must-have games this year. But after my initial experiences with the Wii and some disturbing reports elsewhere I'm beginning to think the Gamecube version - out a week later on Dec 15th - will be the one to get. The graphics appear to be the same and I can live without the Wii-only fishing element if it means I can play a potential classic for hours without being removed from the gaming illusion by fatigue or frustration. I've got hands-on session planned for next week so I'll get a clearer impression of how Wii Zelda feels after an hour's play. For Christmas Day gaming with gran the Wii will be perfect but I've got a feeling I'll be dusting down the Gamecube for one last hurrah.
