Sounds like a good reference for my screenplay.

Neonridr4098d ago

I preordered this thing months ago. I can't believe it comes out today. I should have mine delivered within the next day or two. Very excited to pour over it.

Ilovetheps54098d ago

I ordered mine a couple months back from Amazon and it just gotdelivered earlier this morning. I can't wait to get home and read it.

sitharrefus4098d ago

Pre-ordered it last night since it was still on Amazon with a huge discount :D cant wait to get it Friday, hope the mail person doesn't get lost!

Xof4098d ago

Just got mine in the mail.

It's... cool enough, I suppose. 1/4 of it is dedicated solely to Skyward Sword, 1/4 is dedicated to the manga, 1/4 is dedicated to cataloging how the art style has evolved over the past 25 years, 1/4 is the Hyrule Timeline.

I mean, it's not disappointing per se, and I really appreciate all of the art in it, but I would have really liked to have seen more background material--more background on how the games were made and conceived, and things like that. You know, more nonfiction elements.

Oh: and the thing is huge. 12 inches wide, 18 inches long.

Honestly I really changed my mind on Fi with the remaster because they didn't make her interrupt your gameplay every 5 seconds, that drastically changed my views on her

Inverno72d ago

Technically she's in ToTK but obviously can't take any other form than the sword she was made into. Also the companion feature has been done plenty of times in Zelda, I don't think it'll add anything new. If anything should be brought back it should be the Minish.

Directionless Modern Zelda Should Return to its 3D Roots

Matt from We Game Daily writes "The Legend of Zelda series has gone in a different direction. One which, try as I have, I just can’t get on board with. Here is why I think Zelda should return to its 3D roots."

Amen! A good, tight, Zelda game with a focus on dungeons and puzzles. Let people have the new style Zelda if you gotta, but let us have the OoT style games too. That's not without precedent either, the handheld 2D Zelda's in the style of A Link to the Past etc have coexisted alongside the 3D Zelda's before

As much as I like BoTW, TotK, I need my traditional Zelda games as well, I could not endlessly play the open world Zelda games, plus it's harder to keep those fresher than the traditional games.

Eidolon103d ago (Edited 103d ago )

BotW was just as fresh to the franchise as OoT was. TokT was great but the next LoZ would have to move from that formula to be fresh again. There's only so much they can do with the hardware. I think they focused too much on making the world big instead impactful. I felt the world was sort of empty and repetitive in TotK, sure there was a lot to do but no more difference a Ubisoft game..

anast103d ago

I wouldn't worry too much. Nintendo knows what they are doing.

Ristul102d ago

Wind Waker had a perfect balance of open world and a cool, well hand-crafted design. Maybe try to keep the open world but put in effort to make more memorable story driven quests and locations.

I like it would also be cool if some created Dragon Caesar in the game I would love to watch the two going at it.
