Supposedly the update leaked though. There's a damned stream going on where they're installing the game and waiting on the 2gb download from megaupload that will supposedly apply the required "update".

So uh, maybe not much longer.

Update. Reddit has a guy with an early Wii U copy, doing an AMA. Shown screen shots (no real spoilers, and talks about frame rate. )Game runs great! Looks very good, and only dips when it's a combo of heavy weather effects and a lot going on. He says it doesn't effect the experience much, and is loving it.

Yes, and literally nothing else to do but travel from point to point to reach them.

I just want to know if dead enemies respawn somehow. For instance, they would come back to life if you left an area in Ocarina and then returned to it.

I don't want to run out of adorable Bokoblin camps to interrupt.

Regarding respawns:
There is a mechanic that occurs every couple nights where a "Blood Moon" occurs, causing any enemies killed to respawn

Or a 104, depending on your point of view.

Figuring out how to get into the 4 main dungeons seems like a pretty big challenge in itself.

There's a Wii U emulator and there's a piracy app that downloads direct from the Wii U servers. The games even run on Wii U without exploits if they were on disk.

It would be nice if there was smart enemy spawning. For instance in OoT, you're clearing out these temples because they've been corrupted by evil. Once I kill the boss, why are there still monsters in the temple? I guess it's just so there's something to do if you go back in. Hopefully enemies don't respawn while you're in the dungeon. So I can go back to a beginning room and the monsters I've killed haven't come back, but maybe they can respawn if I leave and come back later.

If that's true, strategy guides will basically destroy this. You have saved me from spending money to ruin my enjoyment. Thanks. :)

90% of games currently run like a dogs butthole on it at 10fps though, so I imagine it's going to be years before BotW is emulatable at full speed.

If you root a 3DS, you can download games from Nintendo for free. They kind of goofed it.

Someone answer my Zelda spoiler/reveal speculation:

Is it that Link can be either male or female? I've seen two different character models, think I've seen them referred to as Archer Link and Rider Link, the female looking, hood-wearing one being the latter

I'm glad I have money now and am not a poor kid 'cause that's crazy. Is there a digital pre-order thru the eshop + preload? I haven't really tried doing that before on the Wii U so I wasn't sure if there was a preorder/load.
