The Legend Of Zelda - General Thread

I didn't understand the last ten posts and very much want them to stop, please.

All for using the Ocarina to go back in time and stop those last few posts?

*sings the Song of Time*

You played the Song of Time!

...

But this is CD-i Land, so nothing happened.

Damnit...

*sings the Serenade of Water*

*Hums the Bolero of Fire*

Okay, where's the brain bleach?

Everyone like my new avatar? It's relevant to the topic at hand.

Avatar? I don't see anything. It must not exist.

It is the face of EVIL.

That...got a little out of hand, huh? My bad.

Yeah, Spirit Tracks is...kinda hard. :/

I beat the game after getting all the Golden Train parts.

That was way better than I expected. Probably surpassed WW's final battle for me.

The final boss battle theme may just be the best song in Zelda history. Yeah. I said it.

Molegra can suck it for all I care.

Okay, so, how the fuck do I get Zelda to drop something she's holding that isn't Link?

I just hit her.

...I can't hit her. She's down in the lava, and I'm on a ledge, and there's no way up to where I am for her.

20th floor of the Spirit Tower.

Throw a bomb or use the whip.

I've played all of the Zelda games, mostly because I was extremely fortunate in finding The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition containing the N64 and NES games in a used video game store a few years ago.

My favorite have got to be Link's Awakening, Majora's Mask, and the Wind Waker. I recently got Spirit Tracks, and I like where it's going so far, but I'm unsure on touching it much, as I have yet to beat Phantom Hourglass thanks to that @#$% Temple of the Ocean King.

It's way better than Phantom Hourglass.

You know, the more I think about OOT and MM, the more I come to realize that the Link in these two games must be incredibly traumatized. Heard it a jillion times before, I know, but... Things just kinda click together in an extremely creepy way. And that's not even counting the confusion that comes with the whole time travel business!

Somebody on the design team must have a very twisted mind...

Or maybe I do, and is just overthinking this?

So I just got the following e-mail from Zelda universe:

"It’s been a long time coming, but the next big major console Zelda game is now officially less than a year away! Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata confirmed in an interview today that a new Zelda game for the Wii will be coming out before the end of 2010.

The Zelda team have been giving hints about the content of the game for a couple of months now, and have confirmed that they will reveal a lot more about the game at E3 2010. Zelda Director Eiji Aonuma had this to say back in November 2009: “So far, the basic flow of the Zelda games is you’re exploring a field, you go to a dungeon, you conquer it and return to the field. We’re looking at altering that traditional flow. That’s all I can share, and I can’t say more until E3 next year.”

Aonuma has also stated that the last big console Zelda game, Twilight Princess, didn’t fully complete Nintendo’s objective of creating the most realistic and immersive Zelda experience ever, and says that Zelda Wii will take what they’ve built in Twilight Princess and adapt it for a more realistic playing experience.

From all the hints so far, the game is shaping up to be excellent, though we will have to wait until E3 this June to find out the exact details."

Discuss.

My favorite Zelda game has got to be Twilight Princess. Midna is by far the most well-developed character in the series, plus she's twice as snarky as Tatl, and only half as bitchy. =D

There's not really much to discuss regarding the next game, hmm. Not much information out yet.

We could discuss what "realistic" means.

Aonuma: Good news everyone! Link's legs will now break if he jumps off of a high ledge. With the Wiimote-Nunchuck setup, you'll be able to set a cast using two Deku Sticks and your hat/tunic!
