The Legend Of Zelda - General Thread

oh duh of course why didnt i think of that

It does seem like the setup for a Trapped In Game World show a la Sword Art Online.

To me, it just sounds like someone's going to be trampled to death in a stampede.

500, that doesn't seem like good odds for one to be generous enough to share that footage.

It could be that or it could be that they don't have enough room to set up that many demo stations.

Let's go over the math, even if you gave each of the 500 people 30 minutes of demo time, that's still 250 hours, and there are only so many hours in the day.

Giving a maximum of 12 hours (9 am to 9 pm) over the course of the six day period (for a maximum of 72 hours), you would need at least 4 demo stations.

And I don't know the squareage of the second floor of the building is, or how big the demo stations are going to be, and I'm also just assuming the length of the demo and how much time during the day the demo will be available.

Or maybe Zelda UX is just a bad game or still in a shoddy state.

Not much reason to worry lack of footage, considering Nintendo itself is streaming Zelda UX from the show floor before any E3-goer gets their mitts on the demo.

Some things are best watched from afar. And people struggling for one of those 500 berths might be one of them. =v

On a different note, what would you guys think about a Zelda game that included a deadly Tournament Arc? Or even an ancient Athletic Arena Level where you had to participate in medieval-style competitions? Or that wouldn't mesh too well with the series?

I could see a tournament being held, but not a deadly one.

I'm generally not a fan of playing through tournaments in video games- they typically remove most of what makes tournaments interesting to me in favour of just throwing the player through a low-stakes match against every other participant.

There is going to be two demos for a total of 90 minutes long at E3 itself.

One with male Link going through 45 minutes of tutorials. The other with female Link auto-riding, proving that yes, you can indeed go to that mountain.

So... anybody else find Cave Of Shadows, the Woof Lonk amiibo dungeon, infuriating?

Mostly because wulf likn combat controls kind of badly and the fact that he has to leap around too much with each attack and has huge end lag in them and all of that becomes a "get hit by fucking anything that doesn't die in one hit" fuckfest with the fact that you can't block anything is when sodium levels reach critical mass.

Okay, it's only around when those goddamn statue things show up when CoS becomes bullshit. Doubly so with slippery floor, killer ice walls and just when you try to attack the spear throwing lanky ass fuck shit but Link thinks you meant the bat thats too high to reach and then you get impaled and your first born child is molested and your pet dog drafted to fight in a religious war and everything goes to hell and why can't I just call it quits to update the number of hearts on the wluf lokn amibio instead of it being like "lol no u feget u got those herts lats tiem when i blokc'd axes to teh rest of teh dugneon, deel wif eat"

Only good fighting move wolf Link has is the homing rush thing, so who though it was good idea to make a marathon level filled with stuff wolf Link isn't made to handle?

Whenever I fought as Wolf Link in TP literally the only move I ever used was Midna's target circle thing.

Problem is that it takes forever to activate and you're being pelted by arrows, ice spears and the homing attack thing likes to hit fire pillars and icy walls of death.

Akira Himekawa's manga adaptation of Twilight Princess getting dubbed in English by VIZ Media and German by TOKYOPOP Deutschland.

"Manga dub?" What, does it come with an audio track?

I'd assume it's just that this kind of conversation tends to be about media with audio components, so "dub" ends up sneaking in without someone meaning "vocal track in another language."

The Zelda manga are all extremely meh, but hey, official releases.

Is the TP manga light-hearted?

Agreed except for the Wind Waker 4-koma. That's a thing of beauty.

I don't think most manga adaptations of videogames have turned out very good.

Well in the "Link gets knocked out by Bulblins" scene they actively try to drown him and actually cut his arm off, only being stopped because they don't have the time to do that properly. And then it gets reattached because of the power of the Triforce of Courage.

... O__O Yikes.

x3 The Kingdom Hearts manga are decent.

They really aren't

Have you not read the Days manga?
