Zelda: Which button layout?

[Drunk Hobbit]

It's changed three times. Twice since Tuesday. So which is the final one?

The first or last one. The middle one looks... horrible.

[Ginkasa]

I like the last one. Either that one or the middle.

[Jin]

Any of those would do, but I like the 2nd and 3rd ones a little better than the 1st one.

[Drunk Hobbit]

I think its pretty safe to say that the first one will not be used. It's been almost a year since we've seen it. The second one was in the trailer. The third one is what the people at E3 are viewing when they play it. That'll probably be the final one. But why the sudden change from the second to the third and showing both in the same show?

Video was prolly made earlier. and they've remodeled things since.

i would believe the 3rd is the final but ya never know. 3rd looks the best.

[Gamer]

Yeah, the third looks best, lie when that thing blows the fire the lighting is great.

:eek: There's a jump button :eek:

I am not really sure myself, rest assured Mr. Miyamoto will probably find the best configuration by the time the game's released.

Why do I keep noticing Link has 64 rupees. On the video he has 64 in the boat, jumps a barrel and gets a green (value of 1) rupee then still has 64. :confused: :unsure:

No, that the case sensitive button, like A in OoT. Its only the "Jump" button in that situation, like jump up to a ledge or something.

What I'm wondering about is that sometimes the B button flashes "attack". If the A(sword), X(item), Y(item) are attack buttons then what exactly does B do in those situtations?

Roll. Remember OoT and MM?

[Drunk Hobbit]

*Bangs head against wall* Of course! Long time since the N64's been played.

[Angrist]

third one. And about the 64 rupees, remember the N64?? 64 is Nintendo's number. :)

:doh: So it is, however the screen I was referring to Link has a great big monster in front of him, perhaps you have to jump the lava he spits out or something? The one next to it he is hanging on a ledge and it says Drop, how did I not spot that :doh:

Has anyone noticed that the more recent screens reveal that the Z button is now used for the 'Shield' and to 'Defend' unlike the earlier incarnation where the Z button isn't used.

[Angrist]

The Z button is case sensitive now too.

[Drunk Hobbit]

Actually that's the R button there, not the Z button.

[Drunk Hobbit]

The R button is used for the shield or for R button action.
Z is used for free look or a hint in certain areas.

[Ric]

Ok Mr.Smart Arse, show me up in front of everyone why dont you, lol. J/K

I saw the second shot you posted, the background of one of the buttons is purple, the Z botton is purple, thats why I got the idea you use the Z button.

[Angrist]

So I was right about the Z-button being context-sensitive. Lol, L-targetting! :D
