New Zelda Info

[DarkMaster]

"- The story begins with Link as an adult (he is 16 years old in this game and will grow up as the game progresses)
- The village that appears in the pics is the first area in the game (as Kokiri Village in OoT)
- Controls are similar to those of OoT and Wind Waker
- The game's extension is 2 to 3 times bigger than Ocarina of Time
- The adventure can last up to 70 hours
- Horse battles will be a main part of the game
- Eiji Aonuma says: "Making the water trasparent in this new Zelda as opossed to Wind Waker will allow us to give a realistic and more beautiful feel to the game and also open the game to a new subaquactic world"
- Z targetting found in OoT is again used (with the L button in the GC's controller)
- Jumping is again automatic
- Eiji Aonuma wants the graphical style to be close to manga-style (he thinks that the Link found in the SpaceWorld 2000 demo looked like a puppet and lacked personality)"

Stolen from Gaming-Age or Modojo, not sure who had it first.

[Dark Samurai]

Whoa...

Its mine as soon as it comes out...

(Here comes the tag team...)

[Canyarion]

*searches for the pics*

Edit: where's your source? Were those new pics? Can't find anything.

[MuGen]

if anyone thinks this will definitely take a stronghold against the unveiling of X360 and PS3 then your nuts..

if you think this game will be awesome and will definitely pick it up when it comes out... then your good to go.

[Dark Samurai]

Did anyone notice that the "Young" Link there kinda look like the Link in WW?

And Kyuzo, youre funny...

[Null]

looks good. i'll take one :)

[GameMaster]

Ugh, the human faces look terrible...especially those children, I love how their eyes follow Link but they're heads don't, creepy little things. I hope I'll have the option to remove their heads with a 360 degree sword spin.

And as for Link...well, let's just say he must have been given birth to by Falco and Elrond, leading to the construction of an awful looking face as is apparent in the above screens. All he's missing are a beak, feathers, and some mystical clothing..

All I can say is those horse battles better be fun, the success of this game appears to have very little else to ride on.

[Blackmane]

Is Link wearing a toga in some of those screens?

[DeathsHand]

Is Link wearing a toga in some of those screens?

I don't think it's a toga so much as it is a woman's shirt and a couple of pillows...

[Blackmane]

I don't think it's a toga so much as it is a woman's shirt and a couple of pillows...

Oh...

...Well at least he's pimpin the town's lady folk now. One of his quests must be to find the b**** who took his clothes last night. :D

[Jonbo298]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Why do you do this? Why do you spoil the thread? :unsure:

Anyway, looks pretty! And it has a whole new sphere.... like a Japanese town.

BaB, pics don't link, can you fix that somehow? :confused:

Thats why I said he was funny, because he and Null try to kill any good Nintendo related news...

How the hell can you see that?

[Dyne]

Damnit, I can't see any of the screens.

[Ginkasa]

Me either...

And Kyuzo: shut up. Until someone actually claims that Zelda will still steam from Microsoft or Sony, don't try to argue against it. You just make yourself look like a stupid fanboy.

image 7
The new zelda: It will have an unfolding with lots of combat, adventure, exploration and presumably mini-games.

image 8 - 9
Nothing. Hobby Consolas is the name of the mag.

image 10
- the tight graphics the game will offer will be impressive. Backgrounds and characters will have a level of detail never before seen in a console.

- the battles will again be in real time, beeing very dynamic and fun. (rest is cut-off)

image 12
nothing

image 13

You got owned by imageshack.

[Teuthida]

So far things WW has over the new game:

- Lobster shirt beats farmgirl clothing hands down.
- Snot-nosed kid over little plastic looking children of the corn.

Looks very Japanese inspired. And those cows...man, gonna have fun tormenting those cows. They look more fun than the pigs... But a farm with no cuccos makes me sad.

Really glad there's gonna be humor is this game. Thought they were just gonna do some serious realistic blah blah LOTR rip game... But looks very promising.

[Canyarion]

:eek3: must...... own..... that..... POSTER!!!!!!!!!!!! :drool:

I love this thread!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Link looks like a sissy in those Japanese clothes. :p

Edit: Dan, didn't you see the Cucco??

[Teuthida]

AH, missed that. Whoa...ultra realistic cock. Wonder if they still gang rape Link.

[Dyne]

I wonder if cows can gang-rape Link.

That would be ****ing awesome!

[Canyarion]

Whoa, look at his hand in the lowest pic! :D

http://www.jeux-france.com/Webmasters/Images/3024320050421_175852_0_big.jpg

And Dyne, why do I never come up with putting cool images in my avatar? :(

Edit: if I'd had to guess, I'd say he was a girl in the pic above.... my fiancee also thought Link was a girl the first time she saw him. :rolleyes:

[Dyne]

Whoa, look at his hand in the lowest pic! :D

And Dyne, why do I never come up with putting cool images in my avatar? :(

What? "Bob after going through the internet" is way cooler than the Link I have now.

Well, Link IS an elf after all, just like girly-boy Legolas. No wonder Tingle is so interested in him.. :sneaky:

[Canyarion]

And the screens are gone again. :D Luckily I saved them to my HD.

Aaaaaah this game will be great.

[Dyne]

Well, they still appear for me, but I saved them anyways.

You know how nice it is to talk about a GAME for once rather than arguing about consoles? I love this thread. <33

So... 70 hours of gameplay? Do you think that's going to be like over ten dungeons? :D I know they had two almost-done dungeons from Wind Waker, so transferring over couldn't have been hard.

[GameMaster]

Me either...

And Kyuzo: shut up. Until someone actually claims that Zelda will still steam from Microsoft or Sony, don't try to argue against it. You just make yourself look like a stupid fanboy.


* Link1130 shrugs and walks away


Alright, break it up, break it up. Opinions are fine, but please deliver them in a constructive manner. None of us are a finished product. During the jounrey of growth and understanding we will all make mistakes sometimes. In the future, please try to be more kind.

I'm going to save these pictures too and upload them to my Comcast space.

+rep to Danchastu for the great references to the creepy looking kids. :D

[DeathsHand]

I would quite enjoy a 70+ hour Zelda game, unfortunately we all know how full of BS approx. game length numbers can be...

And this game is still months away :p

BUT HERE'S HOPING FOR GOOD LONG FUN!!

[Dyne]

Ok, seventy hours. Halve that, and you get the numbers the reviewers say it is. Subtract 10, and you have a good estimate of how much I'll play it.

25 hours for an adventure game is really, really good. And I always beat Zeldas at least twice.

Yum.

[Jason1]

If its anything near the length of OOT I'll be pretty damn impressed.

[Typhoid]

Phil, I call dibs on the game, and your GC when you beat it.


Be a pal.


I'll pay you in denairo. Or L'argent. Whichever you prefer.

[Teuthida]

10 hours for the actual game. 60 for finding all those triforce shards.

Interesting observation: It does not appear that any of the villagers have pointed ears. So Link may be an outsider. Whereas in WW everyone did no matter their race.

And about the cucco gang rape...I found this on the IGN boards:
http://img52.echo.cx/img52/5770/ff2mm.jpg

[DimHalo]

I want this game so much. Sadly, I probably won't get to play it when it finally comes out. Is winter 2005 the possible release time?

[Acebot44]

Sounds good. I think I'll buy a GC just to play this game.

[Canyarion]

10 hours for the actual game. 60 for finding all those triforce shards.
No, that's your TWW game. :D

I didn't mind the graphics that much in TWW, the gameplay was just very poor. :)

[Teuthida]

I enjoyed the gameplay very much...more so than Oot. I guess I wasn't really bothered by finding the shards since I it did it between side quests instead of trying to do it all at once.

[Canyarion]

Sidequest? :eyes: You don't mean the photo's I hope? :green: I didn't enjoy the sidequests either... they were pretty vague IMO.

But let's stop whining about Zelda games, they're all great. :D

Edit: Have I mentioned the cool art work? It's purdy!!!!!

I just don't get 1 thing..... on 1 of those pages you see the left half of Link.... so where's the right half? :confused:

[Teuthida]

Naw, only did the photos my second time through. I mean finding all the great fairies, killing all the giant squids, the cannon ball game, finding heart pieces and other treasures, Goron trading, etc.


And yeah, it does appear that a page is missing...who knows what marvelous things exist on it.

[MuGen]

Ugh... the only who misconceive my notions are Nintendo/Zelda extremists....

+rep GM for taking it as a joke, and not at face value. They totally overlooked the fact that I actually complimented the game, and added to the value of this thread....

[Canyarion]

The missing page: http://www.cube-europe.com/~news/zeldascans/2.jpg

And Kyuzo, perhaps I misunderstood it, it just sounded like one of your negative posts about Nintendo.

[MuGen]

Well I know everyone thinks I'm a Sony fanboy, so I joke around a lot about Nintendo... cuz I know Nintendo fans on this forum outnumber Sony or MS fans 1000 to 1.

[Blackmane]

Well I know everyone thinks I'm a Sony fanboy, so I joke around a lot about Nintendo... cuz I know Nintendo fans on this forum outnumber Sony or MS fans 1000 to 1.

Probably more like 10 to 1, but I'll take your hyperbole at face value. :D

Well, you have a rep now, Kyuzo. That rep will follow you all of your days until you run away to a different country, change your passports and name, and start a new life somewhere.

[Canyarion]

4 years ago it might have been 10 to1. These days it's more like 2 to 1. So for every Sony joke I make, you can make 2.
Just make sure everybody understands it's a joke... And stop feeling better (or pretending to [or making us believe you are]) just because 'your' company is doing better. We're having some tough times lately. :(

[MuGen]

How about I just say I'm sorry for my constant Nintendo pranks and be over with it... I can be big about this situation.

[Canyarion]

Deal. :)

*hugs Kyuzo*

[MuGen]

*pushes Canyarion away*

No offense, but I don't want anyone getting the wrong idea.... especially your other half... :)

[Dyne]

Sigh.

Here I thought we had a 99% game topic, for once, but I sign on and I see offtopic posts.

But I'm glad you guys are settled.

So do you guys think this game will be multi-disc? I sure hope it is. If "70 hours" all fits on to one disc, then we're probably going to see some hollowed gameplay, or something.

[Ginkasa]

Ugh... the only who misconceive my notions are Nintendo/Zelda extremists....


If it was a joke, then it was sarcasm. Sarcasm does not translate well to text, so you can hardly blame for taking it seriously. If you don't want to look like a fanboy, quit making jokes like that.

Anyway....

I wouldn't describe TWW's actual gameplay horrible... Just perhaps the organization and proportions of dungeon to nondungeon stuff...

And I see no reason to believe it has to be multi-disc. I would be very surprised if 70 hours wasn't super generous. I'd probably expect something closer to 30 hours...


/me shrugs and walks away

[Bond]

How about I just say I'm sorry for my constant Nintendo pranks and be over with it... I can be big about this situation.
Yes. You should stop. Everyone else should stop as well.

Now, back to this thread's original topic, Zelda.

[Canyarion]

I'm pretty sure it'll fit on one disc, unless they have voice acting.

[GameMaster]

I'm pretty sure it'll fit on one disc, unless they have voice acting.

To have voice acting, would be to destroy every principle that the Zelda franchise rests upon. There will be NO voice acting. Voice acting is almost as bad as revealing a picture of yourself on forums. It destroys people's imagined concept.

When you make a game, you have voices from the start or none at all ever, in my opinion.

[Dyne]

WW had "voice acting."

SPLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISH!!!

I think it's going to be the same type as WW. It would make sense.

As long as they don't overuse tracks during gameplay. [see: Navi]

[Teuthida]

Also "COME-ON!"

[Blackmane]

I don't mind little quips from other characters, but if Link says even a single word, I will burn Nintendo's headquarters down.

[Dyne]

I don't mind little quips from other characters, but if Link says even a single word, I will burn Nintendo's headquarters down.

Link meowed, and like Dan said, he would yell "Come on!" to his partners in WW.

This doesn't have to resort to arson. :(

I don't mind. If it's Mario-paced talking, that's fine.

[DarkMaster]

It's already been confirmed that there will be no full voice acting for this game. The only people on board for voices are the same two guys who have done Link/misc. and Ganondorf/misc. since OoT.

[Teuthida]

I have no problem with Link making little sounds like in WW. But since the dialogue is text-based...in that context he should remain mute. Like if he said "meow" or "come on" in text that would be wrong.

[Vampyr]

I have no problem with Link making little sounds like in WW. But since the dialogue is text-based...in that context he should remain mute. Like if he said "meow" or "come on" in text that would be wrong.

Agreed.

And DM's news comforts me.

I always love the grunts and noises that the characters make instead of actually talking. :D

[Dyne]

It's already been confirmed that there will be no full voice acting for this game. The only people on board for voices are the same two guys who have done Link/misc. and Ganondorf/misc. since OoT.

Are you sure Ganondorf's voice actor is in? Url?

I was kinda hoping it would be like Majora's Mask, in that there is no Ganon.

[DarkMaster]

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0441877/

[Teuthida]

I give you the voice of Ganondorf! (as well Big the Cat)
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/images/encyc/P4771-12.jpg

And here's Link.
http://overthrown.nu/link/hero/pics/nobuyuki.jpghttp://www.digimonitalia.it/cast/Nobuyuki%20Hiyama.jpg

Both do many different voices for other video games and anime.

[Canyarion]

Having someone that did the voice of Ganon doesn't mean Ganon will be in the game.

But actually I do hope he's in there, just not the standard story.

IGN's Matt seems to die for voice acting... :unsure:

[Teuthida]

I would just like to see how he would like in that style. His WW look was pure perfection...needs to keep the beard. As for Vaati...eh.

Someone pointed out this game looks very much like Miyazaki's Mononoke Hime. And it was said WW was sorta based on his movies. Then there's also talk about demons in the game...and there seems to be a crapload of animals...I think we'll see an entirely new badguy. Some animal demon guy...but then Ganon is a pig demon...and there are a lot of boars featured...hmm

[DarkMaster]

Information from the new EGM:

-There is no voice acting.
-The official title is undecided.
-Fishing is back.
-Using Cuccos to fly is back.
-The Tauro Village is grand in scale, very realistic.
-Link is out to save Zelda from Ganon.
-No GBA connectivity.
-The article has artwork of Zelda herself, brandishing a sword.

[Teuthida]

No GBA connectivity? Bah, not worth buying then.

[Ginkasa]

-There is no voice acting.

Yay!

-The official title is undecided.

:unsure:

-Fishing is back.

Groovy.

-Using Cuccos to fly is back.

Heh, sweet.

-The Tauro Village is grand in scale, very realistic.

Awesome.

-Link is out to save Zelda from Ganon.

:D

-No GBA connectivity.

/me shrugs

-The article has artwork of Zelda herself, brandishing a sword

O_o


/me shrugs and walks away

[Teuthida]

I'm kinda disappointed it's classic Zeldaness with Ganon and Zelda. Thought that was WW's job and that like with MM we would get some twisted side story.

[Jonbo298]

Classic Zelda gaming for the win! :D Even though its repetitive, if its an improvement in more ways then one, im not gonna complain

[Canyarion]

How bout the Zelda with sword pic? :D

[Xantar]

Ask and you shall receive. I posted this as a link so as not to distort anything.

http://purevideogames.net/purevideogames/htdocs/iB_html/uploads/post-3-37786-ZeldaSword.jpg

I'm really liking her dress. And the braids are a nice touch, too. I'm not sure from that picture whether she actually will use that sword, though. It could be just a ceremonial sword since it's so thin.

[Canyarion]

They were right about the new Link looking better than in the tech demo: http://www.zeldauniverse.net/gallery/albums/videos/techdemos/spaceworld2000.WMV
:unsure:

[DimHalo]

heh, Link looks tough when he throws down the shield like that
