Legend of Zelda A Link Between Worlds NYCC Trailer
- Thread starter georly
- Start date
Some of the music has Majora's Mask vibes. This could be Termina.
Got DAMN at all of the audio and visual cues.
Nostalgia overload.
Especially at the return of the classic overworld theme, the triforce unite jingle, and the LTTP title theme.
The whole Hyrule/Lorule Zelda/Hilda and Twinrova-like female Gerudo big bad (presumably Lorule's version of Ganon) had me... smiling.

You're right. That laugh sounds incredibly odd. Like an old witch
Let's call it: Unspecified New Zelda Antagonist = UNZA!
UNZA during its first face-off with Link who has no clue what is waiting for him.
UNZA turns into a painting as a defense mechanism.
Link runs into the wall as if we're in a Road Runner cartoon.
UNZA: (laughs)
Now what is this? Part of Hyrule castle? The land below looks like the cemetery area or potentially a bigger inner court? We've also seen the Lorule version of that skybridge.
Is this accessible from the start or is it maybe actually a separate sky-dungeon/castle?
Maybe that skybridge is how you get into this tower peak and access what is probably the first rift?
... to cross over into Lorule?

Lorule is awesome but what is the name of the upside-down shadow triforce?

Outset Island in Wind Waker and Demise in SS liked upside down triforces, too.

While I can't confirm it, apparently Aonuma said the name of the Villain is Yuga. According to Jose Otero on Twitter.
People in Lorule wearing masks. The plot thickens

it would take them too long to do it on 3DS I guess
it is not as if we do not have great looking 3DS games I am not sure what the excuse is here but I would like to know who really worked on the assets

I'm really liking what they've shown thus far, this is how a portable Zelda should be like.
I don't know, you tell us.

At the press conference at comic con Aonuma apparently said something related to Majora's Mask is in the game.

Referring to the mask in the shop I'd guess. Nice little cameo.
I'd go as far as to argue Zelda is the only franchise that consistently changes art styles with almost every iteration.

Wasn't going to get it right away, but man, looks pretttty good. Having never played a 2D Zelda beyond 4 Swords, I want to give it a go.
As someone who isn't that into Zelda, particularly post MM, I'm surprised how much it excites me.

Second from left is Majora.
To long to do what? I was saying that albw was another new art style. I personally wasn't calling it ugly...I'm not calling it pretty either.
Man, I'm officially excited. Think this is the first trailer I've seen since the announcement trailer. Gotta admit, one of the first things I wonder is how this fits in the timeline if it will at all. I want to say that lorule becomes the twilight realm or based on that art of hyrule/lorule artwork that it is somehow the strange alternate universe in which majora mask takes place.
Title screen music give me the chills. I am so ready to play this.

Guy said it could be much more than just the Mask, it could be more!
So.....Majora's mask 3D confirmed?1?!
The way he answered the question seemed to indicate more apparently.

Ok I guess what I am saying is I don't really think they intensionally went about designing a new art style I think they tried to copy ALTTP and rushed it.
just because we have some nice drawings in a new style does not mean these polygons matched up
That's that I'm thinking. It seems like such a risky strategy, but it works out for them...eventually.
Imagine if the first FF of a new generation went with cel shaded or Chibi graphics. People would flip out even more than for WW. That initial trailer for even Crystal Bearers had people enraged.
Isn't Termina supposed to be a parallel world. Technically it shouldn't be affected by the timey wimey nonsense of Hyrule?Since this is in a different timeline from Majora's Mask, what if Lorule is an alternate version of Termina that was destroyed by the moon since OoT Link an't there to stop it?

I think this right here is what I'm having a problem with, parts of the game look great, but things like this look like what a shitty flash game maker would do back when he first learned to keyframe. I dont get how the game can look so inconsistent and cheap, yet other parts look super polished. Parts of it seem like they are trying to go for a "rough around the edges, no production quality" look.

Lorule is presented as the twisted mirror image of Hyrule, while Termina had stuff like Clocktown that had no equivalent in Hyrule. Anything's possible, especially after you've had a moon crash into the planet, but it would be weird if the world of Termina, after experiencing a cataclysmic event, went on to create a land that coincidentally looks extremely similar to Hyrule.
Oh I see. Ben though its from alttp, I guess i still consider it a new arts tyke because it hasn't been seen before. Even if its jut a 3d version of a style.

Pretty sure that's not the title screen, just the logo for the video.
I mean, maybe it is the title screen, but I think it's just the visual tag for the end of the trailer.
