Wow... Anyone Seen the New Zelda Video?

*R-iZZy* · 03-14-2005, 02:21 AM

My apologies if a thread for this topic has already been posted, but IGN posted a new video for the new Zelda game coming on GameCube. If there is another thread with this topic, close this. If not... we all have some discussing to do.

http://media.cube.ign.com/media/572/...html?fromint=1

All I have to say is: O... M... G!!!

If anyone wants the video to have rather than the stream (Hi-Res or Lo-Res, got both), PM me.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 03-14-2005, 02:40 AM

Oh yeah dude, we have TOTALLY been digging this sucker lately. It just makes you want to drop dead and drool.

We're covering it in the NIntendo thread, but I'll leave this one up. It's a big topic.

Honestly, I'm wondering what the wolves have to do with the gameplay. It looks deeply rooted in the gameplay somehow. E3 is too damn far away.

**Barkworm** · 03-14-2005, 02:48 AM

I'm pretty sure that the theme of the game will be something about animals, considering the number of different animals Link interacted with in both videos. We saw cats, dogs, a giant hog, a horse and a wolf (ok, Link didn't interact with the wolf but still).

**ThirdMarioBro** · 03-14-2005, 12:38 PM

Didn't interact with the wolf....yet.

*R-iZZy* · 03-14-2005, 01:10 PM

I was hearing theories on other boards about a connection between Epona and the wolf..... but, that seems a little too ridiculous, there isn't enough backbone to that. But I do expect this game to have plenty to do with animals. There was a rumored title floating around somewhere. Does anyone remember it?

**ThirdMarioBro** · 03-14-2005, 01:35 PM

I dunno, but they usually don't even have the final title ready for E3, so I assume it's all fake until I get the real one, or at least a leak in late summer/early fall.

Until then I just call it "The Legend of Zelda - The Halo Killer"

*Kid Icarus* · 03-14-2005, 02:55 PM

Perhaps Link's going to turn into diffrent animals in this game? That could be why we didn't see him with the wolf...

My favorite part of the trailer was that battle with the boomerang throwing ape. That's gonna be fun. And those ghosts! :-O.

Not to mention the breathtaking water effects, and the fish in the water.

I can't wait for this game to come out... I'm gonna have to take time off work to play it in one sitting.

Dinny · 03-14-2005, 03:07 PM

I think the battle with the Goron will be epic, and fighting on horses! I've always wanted to do that in a game, you know it's gonna be good.

Demented Utrom · 03-14-2005, 04:01 PM

The Wolf your referring to is called a Wolflos.The next game is bringing back tons of old enemies.Some I saw in the trailer the Deelers from 2,The rhino birds 2 and 3.The Lizaflos came from 2 actually also.Staflos knights back also.

The skelton dogs are new,So are the boars that the bokogoblins ride.The boomerang throwing baboon is a midboss.It would not be a boss.Expected release for this game Quarter 4.The fall.

The E3 one might be 80% or 90% complete if the game is coming out in the fall.The game was worked on for 2 years.

Wolflos were werewolfs Different sprite this time.More enemies I would like to see Goriyas.Darknuts.Ironknuckles from 2.Ironknuckles from Zelda Oot.Moblins from Windwaker and the ones from Zelda Oot.Octorocks on land.Redeads and Gibdos.The Centaurs from the first one.Geldarms and Gels.Evil Zoras.Wizrobes.Keese.Poes.

Returning Bosses Twin Rova should be one.Harder enemies.Geelok in 3D.Digdogger.Shadow Link.

*Kid Icarus* · 03-14-2005, 04:10 PM

Wolfos are formed diffrently, more like a werewolf. That was an actual wolf.

Oh I think it was a little longer than that. It's far more complete than they're letting on.

*Kid Icarus* · 03-15-2005, 01:24 AM

I'm positive the game's done. All they're doing now is pry shining the heck outta it. That, and they want time to build hype up.

Here's what needs to happen for this sucker to sell like mad crazy:

People play it at E3, give it stunning reviews.

Nintendo backs it with a huge ad campain (and, since we have Reggie, it won't be another 'Clean is Better then Dirty' fiasco).

Make a preorder deal that gives away all of the Gameboy Zelda titles on a GCN disc, excluding Link to the Past (that's already avalable on GBA and GBP anyway). Include this with the game when it ships, and give people who preorder it and those that pick it up from the first shipment a Limited Edition that comes with an art book, and a book explaining the Zelda timeline. Heck, toss in a gold Memory Card 59 just for kicks. Slap "Collectors Edition" on EVERYTHING in the bundle.

Bundle it in with another Zelda Gamecube (metalic gold, like the NES Zelda 1 cart, with a hologram Triforce in the circle plate and a matching controller). Include the first Zelda collection for GCN in the package as well.

And boom. You've got the best selling game of this generation. I'll be damned if Reggie doesn't out do this though. We've yet to really see that man flex his muscles at Nintendo. I can see what he did for VH1 though, and it's just scary knowing we're going to see a new Nintendo with in 2 years.

Demented Utrom · 03-15-2005, 02:14 AM

If it's done it should released then.People lose interest when games are delayed too much.June or earlier should be the release date.It looked a 100% complete since they had the midboss music playing already.Hopefully it takes more then a week to finish.

It should get a World wide release.This time I want Battles and puzzles balanced.Too many puzzles gets boring.

What is the point of waiting till the fall if the game is a 100% complete.nintendo would get more sales during the summer less during the winter.

I have time during the summer to play long games.Fall usually other games come out.

*That Matt Guy* · 03-15-2005, 02:37 AM

Needs more "Grumble, grumble"

Pretty cool.

Not so... No one lost intrest in Ocarina of Time because of it's delay. "A delayed game is eventualy good, a bad game is bad forever." - Shigeru Miyamoto. Besides, they never announced a set release date.

Not ever gonna happen. Text takes time to translate.

Zelda was never about the battles, but rather the puzzles. You want a game focused around battles, try Street Fighter.

No, actually, they'll get more durring the holiday shopping spree. "Hey, that's a new game Little Timmy might like... Oh, and it's rated T for Tubular!". This ties into Nintendo's grand marketing that should happen.

Other games of this magnitude? This is THE Zelda we've been wanting since Spaceworld 2000. This is what everyone wanted instead of Wind Waker. This game is the only game IMHO that could possibly out do Resident Evil 4, and that's saying a hell of a lot. There won't BE any other games you'll wanna play except this one, and if there is... I feel pity for you.

, I was just playing through that game. Hopefuly we'll getta feed giant apes those kittens... That'd rock. Specially if you have to raise the kittens... It'd be more tragic then Bambi.

Shut your filthy mouth!

Demented Utrom · 03-17-2005, 10:14 PM

Well the new Zelda will sell the Nintendo revolution since it works with the gamecube games.I hope this game is fairly long.Wind waker was to short.8 or more levels then Ganon's Castle will be enough.

**Barkworm** · 03-18-2005, 12:05 AM

Yeah, I also hope for more dungeons.

*Kid Icarus* · 03-18-2005, 12:28 AM

I want at least 2 levels at the same dificulty (or higher) as the Water Temple from OoT.

Actually, OoT and MC were released worldwide at almost the same time I think. I know for a fact that the European (In five languages) version of MC came out only one or two weeks after the Japanese version, so it is possible.

I actually think that's going to happen with this new game too. Heads will roll if I have to wait 'till 2006.
