Beee-yootiful. Just might be enough to finally push me into buying a GC, depending on how the game plays.

You should see it in video. :drool: I truely hate cell shadding so I could hardly stand playing Wind Waker but it wasn't bad. There is also a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game coming out that moved away from shadding and looks MUCH better.

So is this the original Link again or the new generation link that took over?

Dunno if it means anything but the shield he's holding is identical to the one from Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask...

You know... it kinda looks like a remake.

It seems that is it Ocarina of Time but with boosted graphics.

I hope that is not the case.

It's not a remake.

Buzzkill

Yeah, that was a demonstration of the Gamecube's power at Spaceworld, and that was 4 years ago. Asshole.

Ninti the Mad
05-12-2004, 08:00 PM
How do you know?

Show me the way. :'(

The castle looks the same.

Epona, I am assuming is the horse's name, is there.

The dungeon picture with the guy with the axe looks like the Forest Temple main room.

The fire guy kinda looks like the guy from the Mountain dungeon when Link is a kid in OoT.

Alot of similarities. I'm not saying a complete remake but I just hope it isnt very similar to the other storyline.

I was actually looking forward to a Cel-Shaded follow up for the Gamecube, and I don't know why but it's kinda disapointing. :?:

But OMFG!! Obviously those graphics will be wayyyyy better when the game is released, and I would jizz everywhere just playing that game now, but like OMFG this is going to be so f</>ucking sweet and mad hot.

Maybe Nintendo are going in a good direction again, finally :D

Every Zelda game has similar elements in all of them. They all feature the same enemies and the like, and they have the castle and all, because they're all based in the same country (or region/city/whatever)

Majora's Mask was extremely similar to OoT in terms of enemies/items/etc, but was a totally different game.

Anyways, just since nobody really cares what I have to say, straight from the horse's mouth:

http://cube.ign.com/articles/513/513962p1.html

Nintendo however confirmed to IGNcube that the newly redesigned title does in fact run on a modified version of the Wind Waker engine. The company also revealed that the new Legend of Zelda is in fact not a remake of any kind, but instead an entirely original undertaking.

Buzzkill

Each new zelda game, its a totally different Link. (except for OoT and MM)

DS
05-12-2004, 08:46 PM
They said it was the same Zelda just grown up at E3 about 4 times.

This game looks great. Even though I don't know what the story will be yet, I'm definately buying this.

Wow, I expected that'd try to make Link look even dumber than that last game, but those pics do make me think otherwise. I'm not a fan of Zelda games, by any means, but those do look nice.

I'm a fan of the oldschool Zelda games, but not so much the Next Gen ones.

Ocarina is probably my favorite of them all, then the SNES one.

Out of all of them, I haven't played Majora's Mask or Wind Waker yet though :o

Kane Knight
05-14-2004, 02:26 PM
I think my fave of the games has to be Link's Awakening (For the GB). I dunno why.

I'll believe it when I see it in stores. After they tricked me with that demo footage, I am suspicious.

Link to the Past will always be my favorite, then the original Legend of Zelda.

IGN has a trailer up. It looks amazing.

The original wasnt all that great.

Maybe for it's time but some of the others blow it out of the water.

Is it just titled the legend of Zelda? Probably wont be released until christmas

Kane Knight

YOU'RE KIDDING!

I just saw the trailer for this last night at gametrailers.com and my jaw just dropped. This was the way people wanted Link before they went all cell shaded with him. This looks just amazing. Its like they took the link from the Soul Calibur games and put him in it. Cant wait till this comes out. Must buy.

Nothing to wow over. Even in it's time, it wasnt that good.

Zelda truly shined on the SNES.

I'd prefer the Final Fantasy games on the NES than Zelda.
