The Legend Of Zelda - General Thread

Considering Zelda is as big, if not bigger, in Europe when compared to America, this sounds like a stampede prevention measure.

I thought Zelda's biggest audience is in America? Though either way stampede concerns are probably legit.

Pretty cool remix of Fi's theme.

Flyover of the Temple of Time from BotW.

So, I just picked up Minnish Cap off of the eShop.

I didn't realize there was a version of Zelda that had ADHD.

Boy, does she ever . Every Zelda is a bit different, from the warm and friendly Skyward Sword Zelda, to the cold and serious Twilight Princess Zelda. Consult this famous chart for reference.◊

I don't know which one I find more amusing: OoT!Zelda's confusion or TP!Zelda's cold dismissal.

Probably means that turning her to stone is the cruelest way Vaati could have prevented her from interfering with his plans.

His appearance pretty much screamed "I'm the villain!" in capital letters from the second he came on screen, and that kind of got me thinking. Would people be opposed to them putting more complex plots in Zelda games? Something like "Childhood friend/rival joins the forces of darkness", or something along those lines.

Nope.

ST Zelda is still the best one.

I wouldn't be opposed but nor do I mind things how they are.

HW Zelda is pretty cool too, though.

30th anniversary artbook from Dark Horse incoming on February 21st.

Figma of Between Worlds Link is shipping out as I post this - my preorder just arrived at my local anime goods store :D

L has come to

We finally have dedicated Zelda amiibo!

Currently we have:

• Zelda 1 8-bit voxelized Link
• OoT Adult Link
• WW Link and Zelda

Technically, we had Zelda amiibo before in Wolf Link and the Bo TW ones that were announced at E3.

Neat but I already have the Smash one and the direct confirmed they act the same as other Links in existing games. Might get one if they have special functionality in Bot W.

Also Skyward Sword for eshop and Phantom Hourglass/ Spirit Tracks DLC for Hyrule Warriors Legends.

I'm just hoping for more dedicated amiibo like a dedicated TP Link (one that uses a pose from TP artwork instead of Smash) and SS Link.

Any idea if the new DLC for Legends will make it to the Wii U version like the other DLC?

I admit, I doubt it, but it'd still be cool.

Also, while I can understand why they did it, I'm sad that the Toon Zelda that made it in was her ghost self from Spirit Tracks.

As some of you know, I've wanted to see some incarnation of an older Zelda in the Toon Zelda dress, so I feel like that opportunity was missed (and by opportunity, I fully admit that I mean thing that I specifically wanted).

It still irks me that there are few pictures of an older Zelda in the Toon dress. There aren't even any good fan pictures, with most of them not being full body, ambiguous, or just looking kinda bad when they do draw her that way.

Yes, the PH/SS DLC is available for Wii U. (I checked the menu.)

Only the characters and weapons, not the maps or any other additional content.

So have fun with new characters but no actual place or motivation to use them.

They look nicer and have more animations, though.

Also, Reggie called this version the original version. Could it have been a slip of the tongue and we'll be getting some sort of different version soon? Like HD?

I'm somewhat hesitant to believe that we'd get a SS HD, especially so soon after it's original release. It's only been about 4 years.

Remasters have come much quicker after the original's release before. Regardless, SS HD obviously isn't happening this year, and they're not sending it out the same year as Breath of the Wild, so if it exists the earliest we'll see it is 2018.
