Anyone who doesn't think Zelda won't be a big success in NA must be misinformed...

-preorders alone should swallow first shipped copies
-Zelda always has been a success in NA
-Gamecube fans have been waiting for this game for almost TOO long

but the fact that a lot of zelda fans wont like it cause its cel shaded might not have it be as big as say OoT or i dunno.. other zelda titles..

Im sure zelda will sell quite well in the states, but not as well as it could have im sure. I hate to say it, but there are a lot of idiots out there that wont look past the graphics.

yeah...so many idiots...not just the ones you mentioned, but others, too! like the ones with one-tracked minds who won't look at anything outside of Nintendo.

Well, the only thing, Nintendo could hope for are that a lot of people are taking by it's animaiton and whatnot.

It's rather weird, I went to EBGames on Saturday with my friend to look for his GCN, and Zelda looks cool and all but just looks like no comepetiton standing next to the Halo 2 video that was playing.

I saw a commercial for WW, and trust me, people will not overlook it because of the graphics. They will probably buy it because of it, lol. Seeing the graphics in motion on a TV is beaut-e-ful.

Nobody I know likes the new look of Zelda except like 2 people... And one of them might not like the new look, but he has it pre-ordered either way...

I went to the mall with a group of friends and they had the Zelda demo set up so I was playing it and 2 peepsles I was with thought it looked so stupid, the other didn't seem to like the new look either, and he also wasn't happy that there was no jump button (he hasn't played the N64 games)... *shrugs*

I've only ran into one guy who likes the new look, and another person I know has it pre-ordered, but I'm not sure if he likes the new look or if he just wants it because it's Zelda...

I'm sure Zelda will still sell good enough though :p And even if it doesn't I don't care cuz I'll still enjoy it

Yeah, one of the main reasons Im buying it is the graphics. There so COOL!

As long as I get my copy, I don't care about anything else.

IMO Zelda will sell and will sell a lot... only problen it won't move the number of systems people will want.
