ONM has already received a review copy of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, and has shared lots of details about the game after playing the first four hours.

New information is as follows:

– Yuga appears and turns local sage Ceres into a painting
– He then takes down Link, who was delivering a sword to the captain of the palace guard
– Yuga is connected to Ganon
– Yuga is trying to gather the seven sages in order to free him from his magical prison
– Majora’s Mask is on the wall of your house
– Potions are now made by witches but can only be brewed if you you track down the right ingredients
– Some enemies drop particular items such as Monster Guts
– Will need a set number of these in order to get specific potions
– Button assignments aren’t immediately available
– Start off the game by assigning an item to “Y”
– You’ll find the Pouch later
– This lets you assign an item to the X button as well
– Hint Glasses is one of the first items you find
– Use the glasses to see Hint Ghosts (and possibly other hidden doorways)
– Ghosts demand payment before giving you hints

The full extent of Pokemon X and Pokemon Y’s sales is not yet known, but they’ve clearly gotten off to a fantastic start in the UK.

For the week ending October 12, both games took the top two spots in the individual formats category, and spots three/four in the all formats group. According to tracker Chart-Track, sales of Pokemon X/Y have doubled up on Black 2/White 2’s opening week.

I imagine we’ll be hearing more positive news about Pokemon X/Y’s sales in the coming days.
