Ha, Ruto still wanting to be carried even in her adulthood.

Looks good.

The flying fish and whirlpool attacks stood out in particular. Though for some reason, her basic combos remind me of the general flow of Kingdom Hearts combat.

Guess this means no Zora with a fishbone guitar.

I'm okay with Ruto. Even just one one Zora is adequate.

Well, I'm mildly mortified. Been looking at stuff on youtube randomly.

Extra Credits showed me brief glimpses of the old Zelda cartoon, and one of the top ten countdowns showed me the old Zelda CDI games.

I thought those animations were ridiculous pet projects people were putting up on youtube. People actually put those in official games?

The Zelda cartoon was the Friday episodes of the Super Mario Bros Super Show, and while it's cornier than Iowa, it was at least vaguely watchable compared to the Monday-Thursday episodes.

The really bizarre and poorly-done stuff is from a pair of Phillip's CD-i games made as a result of a deal with Nintendo to make a CD add-on for the SNES that wound up imploding on itself- The same is true of the similarly-animated bits from Hotel Mario. There was a third, even worse Zelda game made for that console, but that one wasn't animated and was rather dull aside from being a sterling example of what not to do in game design.

The ridiculous pet projects are cobbled-together audio and video clips called Youtube Poop- Because of the cornball writing, massive over- or under-acting and bizarre interpretations of beloved Nintendo characters, the CD-i Zelda games and Hotel Mario wound up being some of the first and most popular sources for editing materials.

This has been Pulse's long-winded explanation of poor cartoons and video games being used for mid-league internet memes.

Ah Ruto. Even when an adult she needs to be carried like a box. She looks fun to use.

Huh. Never noticed those fish in that water bubble she conjured. It seems like the English trailers have little higher resolution than the official Japanese trailers, at least to me. The sound also seems a little clearer.

The music used is interesting, although I don't recognize it (I'm assuming it's an original piece). Sounds like this game has more variety of music than Pirate Warriors did (not that I hated the music in that game. Not at all).

The source material is a series that is celebrated for, among many other things, the sheer glory of the music. Koji Kondo set the series to a high standard from day one and even now that he's not the main composer all those after him have worked damn hard to live up to it.

From what I understand the third CD-i game, Zelda's Adventure, is actually considered a vast improvement over Faces of Evil and Wand of Gamelon. Just has excessive loading times.

It's considered that by people who haven't played it based on it looking more like a top-down Zelda.

When there are dungeons that contain nothing at the end and lengthy puzzles that ultimately have no point, it's not any good. Guess what Zelda's Adventure has, along with plenty of other issues?

I'm really digging the music from Ruto's trailer. I don't know why but it just seemed to really fit well with how she fights.

Uhg. My hype for this game is reaching critical levels.

According to Nintendo Zelda Wii U will feature a new Nemesis.

This software is a Wii U Edition new legend of Zelda series. Faced with mysteries in the world of Zelda spread indefinitely without boundaries, a new link, a new nemesis.

Footage of Hyrule Warriors from the San Diego Comic Con pretty much confirms that Sheik is a disguised Zelda.

Also, someone else is masquerading as Princess Zelda and thus that image we saw earlier was more than likely the fake Zelda being revealed by the Lens of Truth.

One of the comments in that website bring up something: When was the last time we had a properly intimidating main villain? I am not going to count Cia since we don't know how she turns out (like the case with Zant).

"Imitating?" or "Intimidating?"

Ah. Well, I thought Ghirahim was pretty intimidating, along with Demise.
