Thoughts??

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 :/

Majora's Mask is great. I'm currently playing it again

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

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.

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 :/

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