And this 'whole new level of realism' is something I truly wanted for the next zelda game, it would be huge, it would be marvellous, it would look, feel, sound, smell and even taste real. After the huge and highly successful thread I started waaaaaaaaaaaay back on Nintendose which was carried to here and lived on for many months I had very high expections for the 'next zelda game'. Then came the spaceworld video and I crapped myself, OH MY GOD, this is precicely what the genra needs to evolve into.
And then... then came Link's next appearance, I waited with high hopes and... got crapped on by Nintendo. I am sure you remember the first and perhaps rash reactions of many forum members, myself included. The thread I made 'The Legend Of Zelda: Adventures Of Pansi Boy' springs to mind.
I commend Nintendo for branching out and experimenting with new things, buy why oh why did they have to do this to Zelda, how hard would it have been to develope a completly new franchise and give the consumer what they truly wanted, a 'Real' Zelda.
Final note: I feel this is a downward spiral for the Zelda genra, I/we wanted a real, living, breathing, interactive world so they didnt give it to us. I will not be able to take this game seriously as I had wished to and Zelda may well be knocked from the top spot of my personal favourite games. All I can say is, it better damn be good, not what I expected, but it better be damn good Mr. Miyamoto.
Hope: This is a remake of the first Zelda game for Nes, the video clip was even called The Legend Of Zelda. And the one we really want is in development, this is a quick cash in, next comes a remake of TLOZ: The Adventure Of Link and then the much called for, Link To The Past. Wishful thinking???? Perhaps.

heheh I know how Ric feels........but I'll tell you why most people will prefer the more realistic Zelda.....it's because people hate change especially when it's for no apparent reason. Sure Shiggy said " we can do alot more with the gameplay now"....but on the demo he didn't show us what could be done......it looked like the same old GP to me...although the video was only for about 30 seconds.
but I'm sure if he had shown something revolutionary that could only be done with Cell shaded graphics people might not have freaked out.
I really liked it the way it was.....when I saw it at space world i watched it over and over...I couldn't believe it....the animation and the graphics at that time were unbelievable , i never seen anything like it. This is how I picture Zelda on a more powerful system than the N64. In fact this how I pictured all adventure games for this generation and the only ones games that I saw fulfilling this was Project Ego and this Zelda, but we all know what happened to Zelda.
Now I'm not saying that this Zelda will not be good, because if Shiggy delivers on his revolutionary gameplay thingy that he mentioned then this game has the potential to blow everyone away. That's if Shiggy delivers
Well I hope that Nintendo releases another Zelda game with realistic graphics if this one doesn't work out or even if this one works out.
