Maybe it wasn't Link we saw in that E3 Trailer after all.

enough already with the female link. It's not happening in this game

SteamPowered3551d ago

Crxss, that's kind of my point. They would make a game revolve around Shiek if they wanted a female protagonist.

SoulMikeY3551d ago

You have no idea how many people would skip the game if that was the case...

aimforthehead3551d ago

Then those people are pathetic.

Summons753551d ago

Already confirmed its a boy after internet couldn't take a joke. Enough of that idiotic idea.

colonel1793551d ago

come on Sasuke don't start that rumor again. It has been confirmed that Link is male. The new Link just means is another story and it doesn't follow up on previous games. That's all.

MegaRay3551d ago (Edited 3551d ago )

You've been to every news article yet you skipped the one that confirmed link's gender? How ironic :D

<Spoilers>

If Demise in Skyward Sword cursed Link and Zelda for generations to come where they will carry out the same cycle of hatred with anyone in Zeldas bloodline and anyone who houses the hero's spirit then this game could feature out of that cycle.

Makes you wonder where it is on the timeline. I would say before Skyward Sword but the only game you could make before SS is if you feature Hylias chosen hero as the main character and it leads up to the great battle at the end.

Although saying that he wouldn't be called Link would he since the first Link ever was introduced in SS as the first person to house Hylias chosen hero's spirit.

That would, of course, be freaking awesome. I'm hopeful for a New Hyrule game, though.

Metallox3551d ago

I think it will be a sequel to Zelda II, finally.

CouldHaveYelledUiiW3550d ago

I loved Zelda 2.
I was glad that they returned to the original gameplay.

But I'd always hoped that the RPG elements would return.
SS kind of did this.

ChickeyCantor3551d ago

New link = new incarnation. Not a complete new character all together.

TM3333551d ago

I will eventually get a Wii U for this and Xeno. It'll be too difficult for me to resist at some point, especially once the games are out and I see a good discount on the console.

lilbroRx3551d ago (Edited 3551d ago )

Sigh, so basically a Zelda game that isn't one. I really wish that he would just make a new franchise to do all of this stuff with rather than ruining the Legend of Zelda I've come to love with forced changes made to appease raging internet posters and the gaming media.

I have a feeling that this is a Zelda game I will not be buying. I'm not sure if I can even call it a Zelda game anymore. Its more of a game with the name Zelda tattooed on it for name brand recognition sells at this point do to all of the alterations.

This will pretty much a be a lesser Skyrim with Zelda printed on the case.

randomass1713551d ago

That's really cynical thinking. Aonuma sought inspiration from the original Legend of Zelda on his own accord, not to appease fanboys. Why don't you give the game a chance before writing it off?

BattleN3551d ago

Playing Skyrim atm and there's so much to do mission wise. AI is dumb horse is slow and too many glitchs. Other problem is that there is not enough life to see or fight it's sorta empty.

Zelda U is saiid to be taking the most enjoyable ideas of Skyrim as inspiration so that's a good start!

eworthington03551d ago

Weve seen and heard seriously nothing about this game yet.
You dont know enough about it to say it sucks and youre gonna skip it.
Wait...

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

Inverno69d 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

FinalFantasyFanatic99d ago

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.

Eidolon99d ago (Edited 99d 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..

anast99d ago

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

Ristul99d 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.

Zelda Fan Brings Godzilla to Life in Tears of the Kingdom

A fan of The Legend of Zelda has recreated the iconic Japanese monster Godzilla in Tears of the Kingdom using the game's Zonai devices.

Knightofelemia137d ago

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.
