BloodWolfX Nov 11, 2010

I don't think there was another kingdom, Ordon was just a small outlying province like the desert and Snowpeak. But yeah, I've already expressed that I'd like to see another kingdom with Hyrule, possibly at war.
I guess we will kinda get that with the whole sky place, unless that's going to be like Ordon.

Super Link Bros, starring Link and Tingle.
Kinda reminds me of a game on Newgrounds... It was Super Mario Bros. but u could switch between all the different 8-bit Characters like Link and Samus and Megaman. Can't remember the name though.

Here's something to think about: what if Zelda wasn't Zelda? What if Ocarina of Time wasn't a Zelda game, but a new IP? Would it still have been the #1 game for so long? Or any other in the series, for that matter.
Playing through Wind Waker after beating it, when you don't get the iconic green tunic, it made me think about that. How much of what makes us love Zelda is just the "Zelda theme" of it?
DarthTofu Nov 08, 2010

Or maybe we can screw origin stories completely and just throw Link into a new land Oracle style!
Idk, I like the idea of revisiting Termina, or even a game that involves more than one kingdom at a time, maybe even how they interact with Hyrule. (I mean, TP had Ordon which wasn't part of Hyrule, but you can't really call that a Kingdom unless there we just never saw the rest of that country.) But I'm kinda sick of origin stories.

Hrm.... flying Epona and Bowser. Haha! I like that idea. XD
BloodWolfX Nov 07, 2010

Screw Ganon entirely, Link should fight Bowser at the end. Just to switch it up, lmao.

Hmm... A dragon would be nice, but maybe they can just give Epona wings, making her a pegasus. We can dream right? XD Err... Not that I dream about pegasi often.

I was thinking just today, I wouldn't totally object to visiting Termina again. Maybe a game about the origin of Termina, the way SS is for Hyrule?
DarthTofu Nov 05, 2010

Well, Technically in TMC Link *wasn't* reborn to fight Ganon. But then again it was Vaati's origin story and eventually the Four Swords DID involve Ganon even though technically TMC was a prequel and all that, well, that's a different story arc and SS is directly tied to OoT so my point is moot anyway.

I'm a fan of having a horse as long as it's actually necessary for most of the game, or at least convenient. (warping so early in TP *cough*) But I definitely did enjoy the horseback battles a lot. Though if this Link is from the sky, I wouldn't say no to a dragon, either. Just saying. :P
BloodWolfX Nov 03, 2010

I remember getting sheet music and trying to play it on the ocarina. Who knows, maybe the origin of the Ocarina of Time will be in SS.

Lol, the evil that begets Ganon? Perhaps Ganon's ancestors, or the founders of the Gerudo tribe.
Every time Link has been "reborn," it was to combat Ganon, so maybe it will be some kind of Ganon-prelude.

Another question, horse or no horse?
DarthTofu Nov 02, 2010

I definitely agree about the lack of music in TP. Wolf howling and whistling and stuff was so limited compared to the "I feel like playing something right now" of the previous games, ESPECIALLY the ocarina. (I LOVED how you could play an every note on that thing with different button combinations; it was like a real instrument). Especially since a whistle of some kind has been present since the very first game. It's practically a staple! And that little horshoe thing to call Epona doesn't count.

I wonder if they'll have like, an origin of whatever made Ganon evil in the first place thing, like the evil behind the evil that eventually combines to turn Ganondorf into Ganon? idk. I'm pretty hung up on the idea of keeping Ganon in the picture. XD
BloodWolfX Nov 01, 2010

I recently played through Assassin's Creed 2 so I have the image of Link in Ezio's place stuck in my head. XD But yeah, a more mobile Link will be nice.
It will be interesting to see what they do about the final boss. It would be difficult to have Ganon and make it fit in the timeline. I wouldn't mind if it wasn't Ganon, though.

More than anything, I want music in the game. I was disappointed when TP didn't have music beyond wolf howling at specific points in the game. Lmao, maybe since they have 1 to 1 control, they could give Link a violin.
DarthTofu Nov 01, 2010

Oh, thanks for that link! I still check zeldalegends.net instead of zeldauniverse since that was my favorite site back in the day... even if it IS not nearly as up-to-date.

Orchestrated music? Nice. I also LOVE that Link is going to be more mobile. :D Though I'm not sure if I like limited climbing abilities. If it lasts as long as it did in Shadow of the Colossus, than fine, but if it's like swimming in TWW... Oh boy.

Swordbeams are back? O.O I haven't been keeping up either. I shall now go read up on it.

Ok, I read up here. http://www.zeldauniverse.net/zelda-news/everything-you-need-to-know-about-skyward-sword/
Doesn't say jump button, but it seems more like SS has a more active Link, I guess going with the trend of free-running in games.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT.
As a Zelda fangirl...

oh, btw, 3DS... is so freakin' expensive. I think I'll actually wait before getting one. :\

I'm really really late on this, but apparently swordbeams are back in Skyward Sword, and apparently manual jump has been added? Unless I'm confused. I haven't been keeping up.

What about the 3D aspect of it? Do you see it as a great new way to play like they intend, or as just a novelty?

Lol, it's been awhile since we've heard anything about ST. How is it so far? XD I need new games for my DS, I only have Soulsilver.

Also, I want to share this.

It just really stuck with me when I saw it, because I played quite a bit of Link's Awakening as a kid.

I'm actually also very excited about the 3DS remake... for a very simple reason: I'm by and large a portable gamer. My DS games get more playtime than my famicom/Wii/GCN/PS1-2-3 games combined. And that's not counting the several thousand batteries I went through on my gameboy.... so a portable OoT will basically be played to death. I actually replayed a bit of it today. :) Been awhile, clear forgot how much I loved it.

...Oddly enough, I breezed through the Water Temple (it still took around 4 hours, but I never actually got stuck. Just lost haha). Maybe because I had already heard the horror stories so I concentrated extra hard while playing it. XD Jabu-Jabu's Belly in OoA was EVIL though. GAAAAH.

TWW is my favorite. ^^ Though I think it had sooo much untapped potential, it's just so... AWESOME. It's cute, it's funny, it has a cohesive and mature story... Pity Phantom Hourglass sucked.

And I STILL haven't finished ST. I'm on the last temple actually. Kinda really annoying.
BloodWolfX Jul 29, 2010

Great choices. I actually had the urge to replay WW a while ago.

Aonuma said he thought 3D is perfect for Zelda.

megrace33 Jul 29, 2010

Oh, my favorite hands down is the Ocarina of Time. ^-^ I've replayed it soooo many times (always getting stuck in the water temple. >.< ) Wind Waker comes in second for me. Very cute and uniquely different compared to all the other games. It was a very refreshing, new take on Zelda.

And I have to say...I can't wait for the re-make of OoT! lol. Being my favorite video game ever and all. ;) I'm curious to see the 3D part of the 3DS during gameplay...My mind is blown by the whole concept of the 3DS. @-@ I'm dying to see it!
BloodWolfX Jul 28, 2010

Greetings, megrace, welcome to the group. What are your favorite Zelda games?

For the sake of boosting activity a little ^^; what are everyone's thoughts on the 3DS remake of OoT? Oddly, I don't think we've covered this yet.
I think I'll throw up an entry for it in the upcoming titles section, despite not having any good information on it. XD

Aonuma's explanation of SS's art style (according to ZU):
megrace33 Jul 28, 2010

lol. Of course. Just doing what I need to do to join. =) I love your Link fan art btw. That IS mad skills right there. lol. And the perfect size for my desktop bg. xD I think I'll use it as a wall if you don't mind. ^-~

(I love your avatar! I <3 Muse [long before Twilight]. ;) )
DarthTofu Jul 27, 2010

All aspirant members are now official members! Sorry about the delay! :) Thank you megrace for alerting me to the cause!
megrace33 Jul 22, 2010

Hello! I'd like to join! =) I love Zelda and can't wait till Skyward Sword comes out. I've been playing through the games to tide me over. I'm on the Wind Waker right now. ^-^

Thanks! <3
DarthTofu Jun 20, 2010

OH YEAH. fanart. XD I made this without a reference... will probably make another one tonight. Still without a reference but at least this time I'll have looked at the official art properly. :p

DarthTofu Jun 19, 2010

Heh, well, there's the Spaceworld tech demo and then Wind Waker. (yeah yeah, I know spaceworld 2000 was a tech demo and not the game... Just saying...) I much prefer the current style than the one from the art we were given. :)

Anyway: Aonuma comments on Zelda easiness. Makes me happy. :)
http://www.zeldauniverse.net/zelda-news/aonuma-doesnt-want-to-make-zelda-easy/#more-14850

And he also said something about being sorry about the Water Temple in OoT, and how 3DS will solve that problem by making it easy to switch between items. :D

And OoT has also been pushed down to #2 on gamerankings.com for the first time ever. D: By Super Mario Galaxy, and not by much, but still. :P
BloodWolfX Jun 18, 2010

Ah, alright, XD I'm not that out of the loop.

I'll go ahead and take ST down.

Also, notice the drastic change from the sole image we were given last year to this year's demo?

It has a totally different tone now.
DarthTofu Jun 18, 2010

Oh,I was talking about Tingle's Balloon Fight... oops...
Yeah, Color Changing Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love hasn't been released yet. :p Sorry 'bout that.
BloodWolfX Jun 17, 2010

No, this is a different game, you are thinking about Tingle's Rosey Rupeeland.

And I think I'm going to pre-order Skyward Sword with my next paycheck.
