    I really underestimated the stylus gameplay before for Zelda and now after I played it for an hour I realized how innovative it is. It is really a great game I have to say.

    Got the game, but wasn't Nintendo suppose to be giving out a free Quill Stylus if you registered the game on their site? I registered, but didn't see no ad for it and I remember hearing about it.
