Zelda Trailer

Yes! Just watched it, and it got me pumped as all get-out. Can't wait to be playing this game, whenever that may be.

Well IMO some parts of the game are animated quite well, like when Link was going to dive in the water, you can see him open his mouth can take in air.......... and the facial expression when the spider was chasing him was nice, however the side stepping animation needs some work.

It also looks like the combat has improved a bit......Link can now downward stab an enemy like in SC2 and he can also use his shield to hit an enemy or atleast push em back
( That can be seen when the trailer hits 1:08 or 1:10 when he's fighting the strafos (sp), hey maybe he was being taught that move when he was fighting with the Rock guy )

Also, Link can ride boars, I wonder if he can hit riders off of their boars and then ride them?

Or maybe he can jump on the boars with the riders still on them and then throw them off and take control.

I do admit it's taking me a while to get adjusted to the look and the over all feel of the game but it looks like it's gonna be great.

I wonder what's new gameplay wise in terms of puzzles and stuff.

O and if that music is in game music then I'll be very happy.

Wow. What a great way to end the day. Wasnt expecting this at all. It's looking pretty amazing.

Fingers, the music is from Conan the Barbarian. I think they can only use it for trailers and not ingame.

Notice the beautiful fish in the water.

What? *sigh* and I really like that music. Maybe Nintendo will purchase the Conan soundtrack. (j/k)

That's the 2nd Zelda that was released on Nes, right?

You guys liked the music?

I thought it complimented the action, but it was neither catchy nor pleasant-sounding to me.

GIVE ME ORCHESTRAL, Nintendo.

Balls.

I actually didn't like the music... I was hoping for a nice version of the traditional Zelda theme :<

I guessed the same thing... just because he said he has no siblings...

It's HIS son. The son of the guy speaking.

I've been watching the trailer a bit more and I've noticed some nice details in the scene after he runs from the big spider (so I mean the one with the 2 skellies).

Shield Bash: Link can now push away enemies with his shield.
Dodge: Link can (passively??) evade attacks by dodging them.
Enemy Hit Areas: Link can probably destroy different parts of enemies (like the shield in this case).

Pretty cool.

Some other details:

Facial Responses: not just expressions, but Link also watches an enemy as he runs over it with Epona. Notice the cats following Link.
Improved graphics since the E³ 2004 version: pretty obvious, but notice the change! The first scene in the trailer is the last scene of the previous one, only played backwards. It really makes it easy to compare.
Taunt function?: like in Super Smash Bros? I'd love that, it would make fighting/finishing enemies even cooler.

Z-targeting: Looks like it's back again!

Lizard enemies (what are they called again, lizaldos or something?) have a weapon on their tail.
