(Originally written April 10, 2006)Nintendo is now offering a new, fixed Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess disc for those who have experienced either of the infuriating bugs. The glitchy areas effectively halt your progress in the game, requiring you to do at least 3 dungeons over. Apparently the new disc will fix the problem even with a glitched save, no need to restart the game for the fix to work.

Nintendo's directions:
Write a letter explaining how you encountered the issue, along with name, address, and daytime telephone number, and mail it along with just the game disc (no case) to the following address:

NINTENDO OF AMERICA
ATTN: CS ADMIN
4900 150TH AVE NE
REDMOND WA 98052-5171



My opinion: This is a great move, and even better that it fixes saves already glitched. To go back into the US version code and change for future prints is a pretty stand up move.

It does come a bit late, especially for the many people it's already happened to and had to start over. The glitch shouldn't have been there in the first place, and it's quite strange to see such a bad bug in a high profile 1st party Nintendo game.

I haven't encountered the glitch yet, but from what I've read up on it, I'm fairly close to where it CAN happen. I'll probably be sending in my disc soon, and recommend everyone do the same. What better time than with Super Paper Mario this week to keep you busy until the replacement disc arrives?
