Can't wait for this game it looks stunning. Im hoping this takes place before Skyward sword and is the story of the first link.

AogamiZephyr3601d ago

Just know Skyward sword was the story of the first Link and Zelda <Spoiler> however they were the reincarnation of the Goddess Hylia (Zelda) and the Hero chosen by the goddess (Link) so if you want a true origin story it would need to about those and the great war that happened in that age against demons.

amazinglover3601d ago

That's the story I was referring to though they don't ever give the hero a name that I know of I think it's safe to assume he would be called Link.

I cant wait till I'm able to chop down all that grass and collect a treasure trove of ruppies. My goal will be to cut the grass of the entire world map, only to discover that the grass regenerates every 15 seconds lol

Xof3601d ago

It's just a CGI trailer, though, right? If the actual game were in that state, they'd have been able to show off more than a 30-second teaser. It also wouldn't look so obviously better than anything else on the WiiU.

All rendered from the Wii U

Aonuma: "Zelda Wii U Trailer Wasn’t Just In-Engine, It was Actually Gameplay"

http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

Keep in mind the Wii-U is using PowerPC just like the 360 so games will continuously look better over time.

Xof3601d ago

Hm... maybe, but that statement is still suspect as the trailer very clearly wasn't gameplay. At best you could argue it was a cinematic rendered in-game, but the camera angles make it pretty clear it wasn't gameplay.

Vegamyster3601d ago

@Xof

The first part where Link is just over looking the landscape easily could have been, the next part might have been a on rails section like a boss fight. Won't get a good idea until they show more.

paulcek3601d ago

It could've been gameplay with different camera angles. They would have access to the various camera angles to make it look more cinematic. Obviously you wouldn't be able to use those camera angles while playing. This is all just speculation though...

At the very least, it was in-engine and not pre-rendered.

Xof3601d ago

If so, that's really impressive, but developers--especially at E3--have such a long and storied history of showing off CGI and calling it gameplay that I'm not gonna be able to fully believe it until I see it for myself.

Not just for the best Zelda but also the best Metroid experience.

MetroidFREAK211160d ago (Edited 1160d ago )

Not sure why you got downvoted when you are right on the money... You got the NES game, Super Metroid, the two GBA games (Fusion and Zero Mission) Metroid Prime Hunters (story mode only) and the Metroid Prime Trilogy and Other M on backwards compatibility or digital download. If you like or want to get into Metroid, that's the system to get.

MetalProxy1160d ago

Why downvoted? It’s darth that’s why

darthv721160d ago

@proxy, I can only speak for myself but I vote based on the comment a person makes, not the person saying it. Others on this site seem like they hold a grudge and vote against a person no matter what.

ForwardDude1160d ago (Edited 1160d ago )

FYI the Wii U is hackable by visiting a specific website.

franwex1160d ago

The best metal gear experience is the PS3. Really.

MetroidFREAK211160d ago

Yes it is, and I own all MGS games available on PS3

Guyfamily9991160d ago

Or a moderately recent PC, CEMU is amazing. Even a 1050 can emulate the games at a higher res than the Wii U :)

Kados1159d ago

Cemu, like almost every emulator, is CPU bound. My 750ti was enough to beat BotW at 1080p/30 with greatly enhanced textures and shaders.

Guyfamily9991159d ago

Yeah, luckily you don't need a crazy CPU anymore to run it. If you're trying to exceed the default framerates of games like in Botw you need a beefy CPU, but very few games have fps unlock mods. So a decent quad core does the job :) the best part is playing games like MK8, Pikmin 3, etc at 4K. The art styles are so clean and crisp and hold up great!

XxINFERNUSxX1160d ago

No you just need this https://cemu.info/ and the roms. It will look so much better on the PC even in 4K, you can even use reshade to make it look even better. How about a little ray tracing to 😁 https://www.youtube.com/wat...

anonymousfan1159d ago

Yup I you can even play A Link btw Worlds and upscale OoT 3D and MM 3D :). Only reason I still play Zelda on Switch / 3DS is for portability.
