I was finally able to view the trailer and I do think you're on to something, irate. :thumbsup:


Thanks again for the link, SM70.

Though, you gotta remember the game is pretty early on in it's dev cycle. A lotta things will change before release. But still, dem tings are leet.

That settles it, I'm getting a gamecube.

I'm with you, I used to just play the one at work but it's not enough anymore, I need one in my room at all times now.

i was thinking the other day... 99 bucks is nothing for a new system, especially one that competes in the current generation.

if you were to buy the controller (25 bucks) and AV hookups (15 bucks) separately... you'd be paying only 60 DOLLARS for the regular machine. I realize it doesn't break down like that on Nintendo's end... but for how far a dollar goes these days, 99 bucks is a steal.

Anyway, my current desktop background is a screen cap from this game... i'm a freakin nerd.

Yeah, that's the general reaction I'm getting.

Let me compare:
I show them the latest bunch of WW screens:
I cut out most of the expletives.

Now, I show them the new screens:
I think my PS2-loving friends speak for many, no?

I never got stuck, only once had problems with any enemies/bosses (final boss, mind you), and only died once (thanks to that final boss). I still think it's a pretty sweet game though, it could just be harder.

Heh, first time through I didn't die once. The only time I lost all my hearts was in the Savage Labyrinth, but I had a fairy, woot! Nintendo purposely dulled down WW though, both in the gameplay and controls.

I like these new developments from Nintendo. I just hope they can stay in this upward trend. I've always been a big nintendo fan, but recently they had been kind of dissapointing, that is until they unvieled new stuff like this.

now if they followed along with the OOT adult story script as mentioned earlier, wouldnt link have the mastersword instead of what looks like some kind of regular bastard sword?

Nope, he jammed that big ol' master sword right back into the pedastle of time, remember? He _has_ got the hylian shield, that's what made me suspicious =) It's still very early days, though.

They keep talking about how grown up/mature he is, so isn't it safe to assume it's later than all the other games? Or is that a bad assumption?

He's 16, the same age as he is in OoT. From the mouth of Shiggy.

I thought he was 17 in OoT?

Nope. Went from 9 to 16. His age wasn't revealed in any of the games or manuals, but it was widely believed to be 9 and 16, which Miyamato just confirmed.

I just pray they put in the classic Zelda Music, I loved the nintendo's Zelda's music.

this is the zelda everyones been waiting for

Well said.

I sure hope so.

I hate the hype that comes with previews like this, though. It's like you really hope that this will be the best Zelda ever released, but then again... it might not be. Chances are against em though, because how often does a game (or sequel) come out that just makes everyone wet their pants like OOT did?

It doesn't exactly have to be revolutionary (if it is, that's an additional plus), but by all means make it a BIG game, make it difficult, and make it fun! That's all I care about. I want something epic, not just something you play and get done with.

I dunno, if I was Nintendo, I'd take a look at the BEST selling game of the franchise and improve upon that particular title. OOT is widely recognized as the best game EVER made by most game sites. You'd think they would say to themselves, "Well, this is the game everyone loved, there's a reason for it. What were the elements involved, and what can we do to it to make it better?"

It makes you wonder WHY they made Wind Waker so different (lack of dungeons and overall length of the game, in particular). Sure, it was fun, but do they honestly think it was on par or BETTER than their best Zelda game of ALL TIME?

IMO, if you make a sequel... it better kick some ass and topple the titles before it.

Oh, and speaking of which, have you seen the new Zelda game for GBA?

That style looks good on the GBA, suits it much more than the GameCube.
