[methodman]

that gameplay video with the crowd is why nintendo needs a live e3 .

that video quality on ustream was fucking trash for that e3 direct

 

[Jetman]

Can't wait! Everything looks and sounds good to me. November isn't that far away GAF! We'll be playing this real soon

 

[RurouniZel]

I need this so badly!

 

[Mejilan]

Music is unbelievable.
Shit, I don't even mind if it's all mostly remixes, going by what we've heard so far.
Amazing stuff.

They were talking about an ALttP 3DS remake since years, but Aonuma also didn't want to go from one remake to the next so they enhanced it.

Are you suggesting that LbW is a remake of LttP? Because that's in no way true.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

It looks kinda bad, but it hits all the nostalgia.

Goddamn I'm such a sucker for Link, and they made a 'sequel' to my 2nd favourite Zelda game...

I'll get it and grumble about it...

 

[Volotaire]

Majora related ending!? . The hero of time trilogy comes nearer to fruition!

But seriously games is looking great.

I actually think he was suggesting that the remake they were talking about turned into this game, which actually makes a lot of sense if you think about it.

 

[anotherVegan]

Inject this game straight into my veins. I am tossing money at the screen but nothing is happening!

 

[Synless]

Graphics are shit, everything else looks great.

 

[NotDreamcast]

Chuckled at Lorule. Excited for this though. I've been wanting to play a new top-down Zelda for a long time.

 

[Spieler Eins]

yes. its confirmed iirc

 

[Altazor]

be still my beating heart.

The trailer + the gameplay video + Aonuma's comments just made me desperately want this game.

 

[linkboy]

I'm fine with the graphics, at least they don't look as bad as the DS games did (mainly due to the artwork being a lot better).

 

[Fuzzy]

But does it take place before or after The Legend of Zelda and/or Adventures of Link?

Nintendo needs to keep a version of the timeline on their site that they update with each new game.

 

[georly]

What's that weird ghost/zelda looking thing in the video?

Here it is behind one of the enemies

and then it vanishes into the wall. What?

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

There's a tech demo out there.

oh, he meant the ffvi tech demo

 

[linkboy]

I really don't think they care that much, just let the Zelda Universe guys handle it, you know, after they examine it 175,000 times looking for a minor paradox to destroy the entire timeline.

It looks like a poe. It's a ghost holding a lantern.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Those trumpets gave me serious vibes of one of the tracks created as trailer music for Twilight Princess

This part

 

[georly]

Good call, the poe's in a link to the past were yellow!

 

[Yanksfan]

Hot damn, I am really excited for this. The music is unbelievable and the game just looks like a blast. I haven't thoroughly enjoyed a handheld Zelda since Link's Awakening (though I really need to give Minish Cap another go..never did finish it). Despite that, I have a lot of confidence in this game.

Uh... Oracles?

 

[SuperAndroid17]

Dat title screen theme

So good.

Looks like ganon is in the game? :/

 

[Dion Blaster]

Lorule is so cheesy that it's almost good.

 

[Marjar]

Lorule is so cheesy that it's almost good.

Nah it's pretty much just amazing.

 

[Skab]

I'm glad that the alternate world in this isn't the Dark World from LTTP. Would have been to much of a re-tread.

 

[ivysaur12]

Lorule, Hilda, Femme Gannon emergerd.

I had no hype before. Now I have all of the hype.

 

[shadowkat]

Link looks weird. Everything else is great. I can't wait for this.

 

[rabhw]

The game looks fun but the art style looks like either:

1. 5th grade art project
2. Early 3D tech demos before artists could properly proportion characters in 3D

Kind of feels like a low budget clone of a Zelda game.

To me it looks like early PS1 cg cutscene models. But I actually like that look. Reminds me of saturday morning cartoons or something.

This is actually my opinion of the graphics too. They look like CG from a 90's PS1 game. It's endearing to me.

 

[Mr. West]

Not a fan of the art style or the 2D gimmick, but it looks really faithful to ALTTP. Looking pretty good.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Seriously. I MUST KNOW

 

[linkboy]

How is 2D a gimmick, if anything, it's nice to see a traditional Zelda game again.

 

[alundra311]

That was a very nice trailer. The music is amazing in this game from what I've heard.

Just some screencaps;

Am I the only one who gets goosebumps everytime when reading Hilda's lines? It just feels kinda creepy which is awesome.

Anyway, hype levels are through the roof.

 

[FSLink]

They're clearly referring to the "paper Link" like mechanic.

 

[butman]

Classic Puzzle Zelda at his finest!

 

[Jade Knight 08]

Huzzah!!! I can't wait. I had to stop myself from seeing these videos (saw few seconds and clicked it off) cuz i don't want spoil myself for it.

 

[Tunavi]

Art style is much improved.

 

[ArcaneFreeze]

I just realized. Princess Zelda, Princess Hilda.

Aunt Zelda, Aunt Hilda....

Auonuma been watching too much Sabrina the Teenage Witch during development.

 

[EatChildren]

How many alternate worlds does this franchise have?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

even the alternate timelines have alternate worlds

 

[BishopLamont]

This > Pokemans.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Looks great, system seller for me

 

[GaimeGuy]

How many alternate worlds does this franchise have?

Well, there's the twilight realm, the dark world, termina, lorule... I suppose koholint island counts as well

 

[shadyspace]

World of the Ocean King

 

[RagnarokX]

How many alternate worlds does this franchise have?

Hmmm, well if you count split timelines as worlds, those 3.

Sacred Realm and Dark World are the same place

Twilight Realm.

Whatever world the Minish are from.

Termina

Windfish's dream count?

Whatever world the Lokomo are from.

Dark Realm in Spirit Tracks.

Phantom Hourglass may have been an alternate dimension, another Windfish dream, or maybe real.

Silent Realm? I'm not sure that really counts as a world... I think it was a test made inside Link's spirit or something.

Demon realm or whatever that Demise and his demons came from.

Lorule

Lorule

I've always kind of broke down these as being the same, just different times.

Dark/Sacred/Twilight

We'll have to see what the deal with Lorule is...

 

[flintstryker]

One thing I notice from that Kotaku video is the amount of hits enemies seem to need before they croak I don't beleive any other 2d Zelda had such resilient fodders

 

[Vire]

Looks to be the same as A Link to the Past to me.
