Sounds good to me.

Re: The Next Wii Zelda

I now have a fear that it will be something like Zelda: Wii Sports. I think Nintendo is smart enough not to do that to Zelda, but then again I think they can also be dumb enough to do it. I'll expect the worst and hope for the best.

I was going to add "They shouldn't try to beat OoT" to my post, but then I read Manasecrets. With that in mind, trying to beat OoT is a good thing. They won't make a sports game. :)

If only they haven't outdone OoT twice since then....

But yeah I don't know why folks fear this becoming Zelda Sports or some wagglefest.

Nintendo has figured out the balance between waggle-fest and legit games, they have made 2 new Marios, Metroid, Smash Bros and Kart without really dumbing any of it down. This Zelda.. if started from when TP was released has been in the making for at least 3 years, 4 by the time it is released.

Zelda: Extreme Dolphin Courtroom

Re: The Next Wii Zelda

I'd like to transform into a dolphin (or a seal would be better since it can walk on land) for some underwater action like in MM.

I hope they add lots of gameplay styles, like more + better snowboard action that TP had.

And the man continues to talk,

The Legend of Zelda: The Everlasting Discussion

Quote:

That's why, in the case of the new Legend of Zelda on Wii, he's trying to take more direct hands-on and specifically at least once every month we are having a very intimate meeting where we confirm the status quo, we discuss what needs to be done and Mr Miyamoto gives instructions as to what we need to do.

And in such a situation, of course there are some heated arguments, because each of us has his own idea as to what a Zelda game should look like, should play like. As time passes and as we are growing in terms of number of people working for the same department, naturally Mr Miyamoto has to keep some distance away from any other producers and developers, but I think we always try to have as close communications as possible in one way or the other. That's how I think everyone including me has been communicating with Mr Miyamoto at Nintendo.

Quote:

Talking first on Wii MotionPlus, I've been working on the Wii version of The Legend of Zelda simultaneously with working on Spirit Tracks and now we have already come to the stage that Link is wielding his sword just as you are shaking your Wii remote. It's so natural I sometimes have to wonder why it was not available in previous games.

I think it's going to be quite surprising, but it's so natural maybe not so surprising for new Zelda fans. But it must be quite a surprise for existing and long-term Zelda fans. Maybe they will say, 'why couldn't Nintendo apply the same system to Twilight Princess? You already had the Wii remote.' Among the fans I think it's going to be quite a big difference.

As to other elements of Wii MotionPlus, I'm afraid I have to refrain from talking anything probably until E3 next year. The only thing I may be able to confirm is, we are trying to change the structure, how the game proceeds, in terms of how you have been playing The Legend of Zelda franchise so far. That's a little thing I can say, but I hope people will be surprised by knowing what I mean right now.

If many people make many speculations, some of them might be correct...

Interesting. Someone already called a Pegasus Epona. Personally I might prefer transforming to an eagle.

But it's probably some lame steam punk technology. IF he's really going to fly.

Well, in Wind Waker you could use those hyoi pears to possess the seagulls and fly around. It probably isn't far off at all.

Re: The Next Wii Zelda

Hm... TWW had a quite different world structure. Other Zelda games use small, closed off land areas. If you could fly in those, you'd keep flying into invisible walls.

So they'd need to change the world structure. Like Blizzard is doing for the original World of Warcraft. I'd love that, but I wonder if they'll take that route. We'll probably end up with some very limited flight.

Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess were good, but they were no OOT. OOT is the best game ever made, personally I dont think it will ever be topped.

I am assuming those were the 2 games you were foolishly referring to...

Re: The Next Wii Zelda

Let's not lump Majora's Mask into this shit-fest. No doubt OoT is the best of the OoT/WW/TP batch, but Majora's Mask is this weird bastard child Zelda title that is hugely original and timeless in its own way. A better comparison between OoT/MM would be looking at Zelda 1/Zelda 2 on the NES.

I actually wish Nintendo would try something like Majora's Mask again since it was by far the most original direction Zelda has moved since the transition from 2D to 3D.

Re: The Next Wii Zelda

Rumors surface!

The game is virtually finished, the team are putting together the final touches. There will be a playable demo at E3.
Time travel does happen, but this time through the use of a new blade.
Link’s hometown is said to be much larger than previous outings.
There will be Majora’s Mask styled sideques, with more character interaction than previous games.
The dungeon - field ��" dungeon method is said to be changed, with one portion seeing players go from one dungeon immediately to the next.
The girl in the image is known as Adelle.
Combat is fluent and innovative, "no previous Wii title can give you a good example of its unique style".
Relies heavily on sword combat over other items, there's said to be less items, but used more frequently. Link will be replacing the bow and arrow with a crossbow.
Link will be taking to the skies with significant portions of flight.

Some of that stuff is pretty much confirmed in interviews (from dungeon to dungeon; flying...).
Other things just sound like wishes fans have had for a long time (less items but more use; time travel; MM-styled sidequests; fluent combat).

Thoughts??

Re: The Next Wii Zelda (Now With Added Rumors)

HEY! LISTEN!

Oh god, Na'vi, you so crazy.

Making the sword talk isnt the craziest thing I've scene from this franchise. I wonder what the gimick for this one is going to be.

For reference
OoT - 3D
Majoras Mask - Groundhog Day
Wind Waker - Sailing
Twilight Princess - Shadow Worlds

With any luck this one will be all about the sword being able to walk/float around independently of Link, and give us a whole games worth of puzzles requiring two people (kinda like four swords, but on a platform people care about and not requiring extra players)

Re: The Next Wii Zelda (Now With Added Rumors)

Hm I don't think the term 'gimmick' is appropriate here. I'd rather call them themes or concepts.
And the shadow world didn't play a big role in TP. It felt like they tried to include a poor version of the alternative worlds of ALttP and OoT.

I still hope the new Zelda will let Link transform into multiple animals. :)

Word/rumor is that the title will be LoZ: Prophet of Light

I will never believe any Zelda title rumors. I don't think the title ever leaked.
Although I have to say this one sounds pretty Zelda-ish and cool.

I might be misremembering, but I do think Majora's Mask leaked fairly early.

Re: The Next Wii Zelda (Now With Added Rumors)

Yeah that was the one game I wasn't sure about. But I think the rumor was "Mask of Majora." Pretty close I guess.

Also, is a 2 week's leak that interesting?

This is all I really want out of a new Zelda game. Anything bringing it closer to MM will have me hyped to the moon

@Default: "Hyped to the moon", I see what you did there :P

I fucking loved Majora's Mask, kinda feels like it needed a second act after the final boss though :/

Just 3 days to go but we have ourselves another round of rumors.

Quote:

Zelda Wii's official title is "The Legend of Zelda". There will be no subtitle.
The game tells a story several hundred years before Ocarina of Time.It also answers the question of how the Mastersword came into being.
The fairy-like girl plays is a very important character in the game. Her Name is Zordiana.
The Hookshot is also in the game and it has new abilities. It will not pull you immediately to the target you aimed. Now it is possible to swing with the Hookshot, like with the Grappling Hook from WW. The Hookshot makes no use of Wii Motion Plus.
Sometimes you have to "draw" a specific symbol on a door with your sword, to open it.
The Bow-Control is very similar to the Bow-Control in Wii Sports Resort, as the script shows.
There are two levels of difficulty. Aonuma put it through. Miyamoto didn't want to include it.The Normal-Mode for amateurs. The Hero-Mode has no "Super Guide" included and the enemies tougher.
The On-Stage Dungeon, which is also playable at E3, isn't a Dungeon as we know it from the Zelda series. When entering a Dungeon, you will not notice you are in one. It will be a smooth gradation. There will be Dungeons with no Bosses and Bosses with no Dungeon. The "Dungeon" you are able to play at E3 will be an Ice-Level. It will be the frist "Dungeon" in the Game.

Some of these sound better than others (bosses being out in the open, dungeons that aren't dungeons, using your sword for puzzles) but Nintendo isn't known for its many leaks.

Re: The Next Wii Zelda (Now With Added Rumors)

I thought we liked the dungeons, arnt they the main reason why anyone plays a Zelda game? Meh, best of luck with the dungeons that are dungeons approach.

Also, why do we need something to explain where the Master Sword came from? I always kinda liked that there were only very very faint connections between each of the game :/

Re: The Next Wii Zelda (Now With Added Rumors)

Looks like none of the rumors were true. :) The ones BaB posted were unreliable because of the Miyamoto/Aonuma argument.

All times are GMT -4. The time now is 08:39 AM.
