I'm definitely getting Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask vibes from these videos. Which is a good thing. Twilight Princess seemed to be lacking that LoZ 'vibe'...even though it was a good game in its own right.

[Cpt_kitten]

eh disappointing, zelda games will never be the same....and no im not talking about like OOT im talking before that

edit please elaborate disagrees...butthurt the classic ones are still the best?

[krazykombatant]

Ummm you talking about titles such as Adventures of Link? that far back?

Seriously, OOT was great in its own right, but play it again and i'm sure you'll complain about how the camera sucks and how somethings in the game were atrocious (having to be lined up to the other ledge to jump). Obviously we over look those parts for the greater picture, such as ME having great storyline and gameplay(imo), but of course some people had to bitch..

Anyways, I thought that windwaker was great, except for the long boat rides. And Twilight princess is by far an amazing game, it went back to being a dark game. Sure this one looks a lot happier and child like. To be honest I think they've turned link into a girl. His face idk look to feminine. I digress yet again, I'll be picking this up and I'm sure you will too. Until then let's not bash one of the best franchises out there.

In which i'm sure that if Ninty were to go under (which will never happen but there are people out there that think so). Zelda could easily become something horrible like sonic did. Anyways thats my two cents.

[Cpt_kitten]

yeah OOt was great but not amazingly great that it needs to be re-released on every generation of systems, and yeah a lot of 95 was spent playing that game till my parents had to take the controller away but nothing will ever beat the old games

but its time to step it up a knotch and go darker than then the others its time to stop rehashing the same thing over and over again, i would like for them to leave a cliff hanger where link is in a pinch or someone dies but its made for childeren which is where it cuts pulled back but to have link doing the same thing and fighting bosses with that are basically the same from the previous games and navigating nearly the same dungeons over and over since OOT is just ridiculous i liked the wind waker but i really got sick of the same old song and dance half way through TP

I'll agree with you on your second post, but as far as I've heard Nintendo tend to change how the game works this time around, won't necessarily fight a boss or get an item in a dungeon. Which is pretty good I think, they definitely need to get out of the comfort zone. Obviously, the old games are what set the standard for us and what made us immerse within our own little world.

I see Nintendo, as the weed of gaming. (Personally I don't partake on drugs, but anyways). Nintendo for me opened gaming, I do understand how they need keep their child like audience going, but it would be really nice to see games like zelda become really dark or something where Link or someone is really in peril of death or idk something new and fresh. Almost like metroid prime trilogy. Which was very dark. Anyways we'll just have to wait and see how SS turns out.

[Bolts]

Oh no, it's the fearsome emo boss.

[tunaks1]

how is he emo, looks pretty happy to me.

[Pozzle]

He's not emo. His hair is too ~fabulous~ for that. :D

[CrescentFang]

I wonder why they skipped... You could tell whoever was playing was having a hard time haha

[DeeZee]

Well he's flamboyant...

[bangoskank]

I like that they are still using pantomime over voice overs.
Zelda just wouldn't be the same with dialogue. I actually might buy a wii for this and the operation rainfall games if they are ever localized. Will wait until the wii's price plummets though.

[krazykombatant]

Anyone else have a hard time trying to keep up as the person playing flew by the reading. Anyways the game looks amazing!

[JohnnyMann420]

Hey I like zelda games like the next person but this "display of strength" by that wannabe boss is stupid. He looks dumb as hell just walking forward holding his fingers out.

Nintendo if you want him to seem "tough" make him warp behind Link and tap his shoulder or some crap.

He just looks horrible walking forward at link for 2 mins.

[Arnon]

Probably because he was toying with him? I guess you didn't look at his health when they had to skip the video did you?

[JohnnyMann420]

yeha i know he was toying with him (read my display of strength above) My point was it was done horribly.
