These were post at IGN along side pictures of the Jap. Zelda boxart (bleh), which featured URA and OOT.

But dont get your hopes up, they are renders:

All renders of OOT. I assume Nintendo made them.

If you notice, the first one is the forest temple, when link is on his way to the room with the spinning platform, and he must hit the Ice-covered eye.

The second of course is Ghoma.

The thirds I thought was him swimming to the floor of Lake Hylia, about to enter the water temple. But, Ive never seen that map before, or really an entrance like that. Perhaps the last is an Ura one. *shrugs*

Hmm interesting. But that 3rd pic looks too good to be real (-time).

I disagree...I would think that Gamecube is capable of that and more

Hmm, looks cool, thats the game that might be shipped with zelda right? that would be awsome, i hope they do, and it looks great, the third pic especially.

I cant believe you people, those are obviously from OOT, although that third one looks a little strange, and link seems to be adult in all of the pics...and he should be a child in the Ghoma one...And if they were renders, why would they have the Action Icons, heart containers, and map all on the screen? I dont think these are just renders...they look like something more to me, something much yummier...

Maybe they put all the action icons and such in there because that's what you see in the game? :unsure:

Did Nintendo make the renders or did IGN or something else decide to make renders just for the hell of it?

Cuz if Nintendo made them, the graphics are obviously better than the N64 OoT, so even if these weren't screenshots from the actual game, it seems like it'd kinda be saying that the graphics will be updated a bit... or something...

But if they're renders that somebody else made then it doesn't mean anything :p

I really have no idea who made them, they were posted in the media section along side the poster advertising ZeldaGC and the side games.

Either way, they say they are renders, and dont even seem to mention them in the news. If they were real, Im sure they would be yelling it at us. Whoever made it, likely put the icons in, for the effect of in-game.

They're fan-made.

Some how, I don't think Nintendo made these.

I could be wrong.. :unsure:

The best you can hope for is a better resolution.

incorrect.... best i can hope for is real VR zelda, put on glasses. walk around with perfectly realistic graphics where you are Actually IN the game.

hell, after thinking about it. i could prolly find things to hope for that are better for that.




Seriously tho. rumors had been going around for a long time that Nintendo will remake OOT and MM in the zelda spaceworld 2000 graphics.

First of all, I reckon the GC hardware is capable of doing much better stuff than that (But it's still better than N64). Secondly, as far as we know, these are just renders sent in by a zelda fan.

If they were at IGN, they are official. I'm pretty sure they had them on that flier with the cover, though I'm not sure.

If this is what is an actual pics from the remakes, then those are pretty great. Better looking than the '64 ones.

Gee talking about understatement... :rolleyes:

These graphics would sell this game better than the completely new GC Zelda!

Too bad they weren't actually done by Nintendo. Actually, they were done by a fan. The reason IGN has them is the aforementioned fan sent those renders that he made to Peer Schneider who posted them in the latest Hyrule Times column.

Considering they were done by an amateur, they aren't half bad.
