Since the Majora's Mask can be seen in the game shop, I bet the connection is to termina (which had the inverted triforce too). But you know, they probalby have linked both things.

Since the Majora's Mask can be seen in the game shop, I bet the connection is to termina (which had the inverted triforce too). But you know, they probalby have linked both things.
I think it would be pretty neat, especially considering
Yuga is wearing Ghirahim's earrings
part of the Demon World. At least that would give it some justification for not being the Dark World or the Twilight Realm.
Better question: Why isn't EVERYONE farming bushes?
Have you played ANY Zelda game? Do you not remember what treasures lie underneath a bush in the Zelda-world?

I guess this is going to be more than a cameo then:
wait, what? Is this from the trailer from a while ago?

500 years ago what would the land that is now Canada be called by the locals?
the thing is none of these places have to be named the same over the ages
kinda disappointed we got Hilda and not Midna but as an expansion to the ever growing world of Zelda I still welcome exploring new places and seeing how they connect
they sure know how to feed us fans
oh man this is great haha

Double sold. I was already planning on getting a 3DS tonight for Pokemon. This will be great for November.
The music during that first look definitely evoke of Gerudo Valley/Majora's Mask sound era.
Link.............. ew
I'm sure the gameplay will be brilliant though! ....
I'm a huge Zelda fan and Link just looks horrible to me.
To go from this:
To this:
Even OoT has a better looking link. Ugh.

The game got intereting to me after the Iwata revelation. But the artsyle, i just can't asymilate it. And for reference i didn't have any problems even with that sharp departure the Wind Waker visuals were at the time.

The DS Zeldas were derivative bullshit though, this actually looks like the most promising Zelda in a decade.
Glorious overworld music
Edit: and seashells collection comes back. If you found enough of them, something good is bound to happen.

I'll just say how you find the heart piece around the 3:00 mark is hilariously self-aware, as is the zelda fan audience's reaction to it.
Most excellent. Pegasus armor is not too shabby looking on Link either. That fan art further cements my opinion that I could do with a total reinvention of this franchise.
Reminds me of the first time EAD tried to port the original Link design to 3D:
Standard sword at the beginning confirmed.
Call me nostalgic but I'm fascinated by the chibi style and relatively low poly models employed.
Oh man... that actually sounds plausible. :O
Mind you I'm not referring to the graphical fidelity. I'm merely referencing Link's design. Look at the DS Zelda games they use the same link design as Wind Waker so it has nothing to do with the power of the system.

Ah but it's classic LttP Link really, minus the purple hair. Nowt wrong with it really. Classic late 80's.

Damn, this game looks ugly. How could they screw the graphisms that bad? OoT 3DS looks 10 times better. The 3DS is a very capable console, games like Resident Evil Revelaitons, Mario Kart 7 and Kid Icarus showed that.
That won't prevent me from buying it and enjoy it, but damned, it's a full price game, it shouldn't be that ugly.

Love the dark world remix and it'll be fun trying to find all those Maimai's.

That thread was an embarrassment.
Well, that confirms that Lorule is not the Dark World then. Fantastic music also.

There was never a Final Fantasy game for the 64. What are you talking about?

Likewise. The retro-style Link design really speaks to me, almost as much as Kotabe's classic Mario is integrated into 3D World.
There's a tech demo out there.

Yeah, I like the Zelda fetch quests when they're optional and you get something unique instead of rupees, like the upgraded sword in LttP or here the upgraded Bow and Arrow. But I do like all the little side caves and "dungeons" with a single puzzle/traversal ement with a bit of treasure at the end. You're can go straight to the main dungeons, but having a dense overworld full of enemies and secrets and optional content, that you can quickly traverse...I mean, that's my ideal Zelda to me.
Maybe it wouldn't look like this, but I rather enjoyed that gameplay presentation and gave me an even greater feeling about how this game is gonna play it. I just hope the item renting is properly balanced out.

I'm waiting for impressions. It's hitting all the nostalgia notes but I am nervous how it's gonna turn out.
Not to mention playing it means I would have to buy a new 3DS and I really don't want to do that
