    Awesome, I can't wait until it is out in the UK. I haven't bought a DS game in a fair while, but I sure am picking this up. Loving the gameplay footage and of course it is a Zelda game, so it will be a great gaming experience.

    That's pretty good. Zelda seems to always sell pretty well. Now let's just hope it is a great game like it looks.

    That's good for the Zelda series. I will also pick this one up, got just about all the Zelda games. And Zelda on-the-go is even better.

    That doesn't surprise me, considering it's the first Zelda game for the DS and it was highly anticipated.

    The touch controls sound awesome. So far the only games I have had significant playtime with on DS are FF3 and Pokemon, neither of which really use touch controls to a great extent. I really want something that shows off the capabilities of the touchscreen.
