People need to stop comparing this to LotR. They could've been secretly making this game since the E3 demo but released the cel-shaded version first just to piss us off and make us want a mature zelda even more.

When the reviews come around on this, I better not see every other site comparing this to LotR otherwise I will send them a helpful email that THIS ISNT ANYWHERE CLOSE TO LOTR.

Damn right, Jonbo!!!

[thatmariolover]

It's just a depiction of a realistic fantasy world. From PoP to LotR, it's often going to look kind of similar. I really like the cloud shadows and grass textures (and the rocks and streams). Very natural.

Anyway....

[Rndm_Perfection]

Exactly, TML. Epic fantasy looks like Epic fantasy; no shame on you if you try to compare the two.

Especially if the game somehow has a balrog-esque boss *looks around*

You are such a loser man. Is really does remind many people about LOTR, and you know what, that is a great thing! So just calm down, and be thankful Nintendo has provided you with such a great upcoming game, which realisically should have allready been released (see the SpaceWorld 2000 Link vs Gannon demo, lol)

And what if Nintendo wants it to be like LOTR? Will you then write Nintendo an email saying how you disagree? Or if that is Nintendo's intention, it would be good, because they can do no harm, right?

:rolleyes:

[Jonbo298]

All I said was that it annoy's me that people are constantly comparing it to LotR already and the game hasnt had much said yet. I never said I hate the new game, I'm just starting to get annoyed at all the sites that are saying its close to LotR.

[Dyne]

I bet people got pissed at D&D for being like LOTR too.

[Perfect Stu]

awesome...when will The Legend of Zelda: the Two Towers be released?

[Vampyr]

Yeah...fantasy is fantasy...Nearly every fantasy novel, movie, or game is comparable to LotR, as it is comarable to whatever fantasy came before it. It's all almost the same.

Which is why the world of fantasy NOVELS has begun to bore me. It's hard to find an original title now-a-days.

[Typhoid]

there is a picture of a dragon/dog thing breathing fire and you call it realistic?....j/k, the game does look mighty awesome, and i think i shall join the gang in buying said game...does anyone know the release date for it?....I also think they should branch Zelda games out to other system too,...unless they already did....then good for them...

That has nothing to do with the fantasy genre itself. The reason why fantasy novels have become so boring and unoriginal is that hardly anyone (publishers, authors, readers) is willing to break out from the style and method LotR used and publish, writer, or read something different.

I'm actually writing a report on that for school. Funny how it's come up...


*shrugs and walks away*

[TheSlyMoogle]

I think it's awesome.

I almost creamed my pants when I saw it.

Um, you have to admit it looks very LotR. Really, what's so bad about that? Besides I'm sure it will have a completely awesome story, very non-LotR.

Besides, Ganon will always be there.

Also, you guys do realize Video Games will suck when Shiggy retires? The thought came to me a while earlier... What will we do without his games?!

Thats nothing....
































*Picks up Kleenex*

[GameMaster]

I'll defend Jonbo in that it is kind of annoying because the Legends of Zelda games existed way before any of Peter Jackson's renditions. So if anything, all three Lord of the Rings movies are complete, total, lousy rip-offs of the Legend of Zelda story. In your face LotR fans!

[Ginkasa]

*could rip holes in GM's comment a mile wide each*

*and I am far more fanboyish about Zelda than he is*

*and I suck at picking apart people's comments*

*which goes to show how stupid his comment was*

*which leads me to believe that it was made in jest*

*at least hope it was made in jest*

*shrugs and walks away*

I've thought about this, but Shiggy isn't even directing this game according to IGN. He's still a producer, but I have a feeling that Shiggy can pass his wisdom down to the point where a capable young gentlemen can make a new Zelda game. Wasn't Capcom very involved with the development of Seasons and Ages? I think the Zelda formula is pretty obvious. I'd hope no one comes along and screws it up.

[Blackmane]

Yay, buying game and playing game for sure.

Well, capcom originally was making the Oracle games without the help of Shiggy, but then they realized they couldnt do it. They called up Shiggy, and he helped them fix everything that wasnt right. And that my friends is the story of how the Oracle games became awesome.

But, I think there is someone somewhere who can fill Shiggy's shoes.

That's BS and you know it.

The games before this one didn't look remotely like the Lord of the Rings movies. Not to mention the fact that the movies were obviously based on the books which were released long before the Legend of Zelda. Even still, the Lord of the Rings movies themselves had zero influence from the appearance of the Legend of Zelda series.

I hope for your sake that you were joking.
