The Legend Of Zelda - General Thread

Oh dear. I hope you have to fall from a very high ledge to set that off, and that your movement isn't impaired at all once you put on the cast.

Also, Link only has one hat. What happens if he breaks both legs?

Tingle buys you a wheelchair out of pity.

That's not realistic! Tingle would never buy you something.

Seriously, I'm hoping by "realistic", they're talking about the world's verisimilitude; they appeared to be trying for rounder characters in Twilight Princess. They sort of succeeded (at least for the Ordonians and Rusl's buddies), but didn't really use them satisfactorily, and the overworld felt a bit empty.

What I'm wondering about is how they'll change that basic structure Aonuma mentioned. I'm guessing inter-connected dungeons?

Zelda+Ultima?

'minor fracture detected. Injecting morphine'.

I saw some Gender Flipped Link cosplays at a convention once.

I didn't know whether to be outraged or aroused.

But then again...

So, I just beat Twilight Princess.

What is the trope name already for different character names in different localizations?

Byrne seems to be the only character who whanged name in the same language while crossing the Pond... (he's named Staven in the European English version).

Also, unrelated rant: I didn't even try the French version because nowadays it requires changing the console options. Why did they stopped making games that allowed you to select a language different from the console's?

So I tried Zelda II on my crappy FC Mobile II, noticed that I can press left and right simulatneously due to the diagonally-cut D-pad, and all I gotta say is: Link drift.

I beat the Sand Temple in Spirit Tracks today. The boss was fun.

^I beat the Ocean Temple last night/this morning. Those stone heads with gaping mouths were creepy.

EDIT: Anyone else spot the Super Mario Galaxy reference?

Is anyone here familliar with Parallel Worlds, a romhack of Link to the Past? the SA LP for it is hillarious. I started playing it myself and it's really really hard. "WATCH OUT FOR THAT BEAMOS" Indeed.....

Lulz.

You know I was planning on picking up Wind Waker... Until The King of Red Lions' trophy on Brawl spoiled me. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

OOT, best game of all time for me.

Also, I actually LIKE the original Lo Z. I still own a NES, and ahve the golden cartridge. I mean, if you ask..it has the best overworld in the series. Full of mystery, bushes to be burned and walls to be bombed. And also, the Nintendo Hard part of the original Zelda game are the enemies. The puzzles are basically, bomb this wall and push this block.

My favorite part of Twilight Princess? Judo-throwing goats.

How come this is the only relevant pic that appears when you google both "spirit tracks" and FMA?

I am disappoint.

I love Zelda. I first started with Oo T, then Link's Awakening. When Majora's Mask came out, I immediately found my new favorite Zelda title — that game is absolutely flawless to me. MM deserves far more recognition than it gets.

I've played and beat every Zelda game since then, except for Twilight Princess (which I never felt compelled to finish), the DS titles and Minish Cap. I also haven't really touched the NES games, but I think I'm okay with that.

If there's one thing i believe OOT should have learned from it's 2D brethren, it's that it should really know how to arrange it's topography.

I kinda hate how OOT's forests don't look like forests and all the topography is compartmentalized. The "woods" is strictly in the "woods" area, mountains and hills are strictly in the mountains area, and there are all rivers (two of them, i think) all lead to one place.

Still, the game play is what matter so in that regard OTT RAWKS!

Well I ordered the Collectors Edition Game Guide for Spirit Tracks today, it comes with some collectable cloth maps of hyrule.

Looking forward to the delivery!

I started the Sand Temple yesterday. It's kinda tricky.

Ahh, here's a series I quite enjoy. I've played and beaten every game in the series except the ones on the NES (I never owned one) and the handhelds, for the same reason. Ocarina Of Time is my favorite, and The Wind Waker is hugely underrated. I'm looking forward to the new Zelda Wii, which is supposed to come out this year, but... well, c'mon. Delays. They're gunna happen.
