Nintendo isn't afraid to experiment, so it should be fun to see what they bring to the table in the new one.

Seriously though folks; wait for official word. This is just Majora's Mask all over again
[/QUOTE]
so... it's gonna be a fucking awesome game with an unsettling tone?
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;37582763]As far as I'm concerned, Zelda hasn't been done quite right since Wind Waker. I didn't really like Twilight Princess, as much as I hate to say it. I never played Skyward Sword though, so I could be wrong.[/QUOTE]
It's all opinion. I enjoyed Phantom Hourglass but I didn't like Spirit Tracks.
Did anyone ever finish Zelda II? That game was hard as balls and I always gave up partway through.

I hated that temple in phantom hourglass where you had to constantly go. The fact that it had a time limit sucked big time.

I made it to the final palace before I stopped for a while, and I haven't quite finished it yet. I actually really like it, and I wish that it had a proper sequel. The swordplay is lightning fast, and it's really fun. The big criticisms seem to be "It's really hard", and "It's not like the other Zelda games".
I really wish Nintendo had made it as its own series rather than being a Zelda game, because I think it would be remembered a lot more fondly than it is as a Zelda game.
[QUOTE=ironman17;37575865]I'm hoping this new Zelda is at least better than Skyward Sword. Also, do you think they'll deviate from the Ocarina style of gameplay or is that pretty much a "winning formula"?[/QUOTE]
It's a winning formula as long as they can expand upon it I think. Which is really a matter of just having more interactivity and a larger environment to quest around in.
Looks cool, shame about the Wii U.
25gb disks? Well played.

Even with cheats that game is hard as balls.
Skyward Sword is the first Zelda I've not finished. when I started Dungeon 2 I realised there is no overworld, no interesting NPC character depth, the NPCs don't even have schedules like previous games, the upgrade mechanic was not needed, the flying was pointless and the Wii controls were fucking touchy as hell. I hated coming up against enemies that needed a certain stroke as the wii would fuck up and do what I wasn't.
Skyward Sword was basically Mario Galaxy but Zelda. A hub world and a few levels with some fairly straight forward puzzles. Both Link and the bad guy were different stages of David Bowies life, it was pretty environments but the characters did look awful.

[QUOTE=Mingebox;37583237]And give it make to Retro Studios. Everything they touch is gold.[/QUOTE]
Other M was great but a fountain of lost potential. Donkey Kong Country Returns was brilliant.
I think Retro does better with Nintendo's flagships than Nintendo. I'd give them everything but Mario.

Retro did the Prime trilogy, not Other M.
[QUOTE=FpShepard;37575870]They are using the same style as from skyward sword ? Shit, the skyward sword look was good because wiis hardware sucked balls, would have nice to see a dark and gritty zelda like in TP and MM with modern graphics.[/QUOTE]
I hated TP's style, in fact I didn't like the game at all.
[editline]8th September 2012[/editline]
Somehow the darker tone in TP didn't fit the Zelda world, at least not to me. I think OoT adult world and MM's world were as dark as it should get.
i named my kitten zelda :3
[QUOTE=Silentfood;37589311]i named my kitten zelda :3[/QUOTE]
Robin Williams named his daughter Zelda.
Just for once, I'd like to have a game that's as creepy as Majora's Mask.
I'd like to imagine the Happy Mask Salesmen in the newer games if he were ever there.
[QUOTE=Mingebox;37589332]Robin Williams named his daughter Zelda.[/QUOTE]
I named my left hand Zelda.
i want another really dark zelda game. twilight princess wasn't dark. it was grimdark. majora's mask was heavily emotional with an oppressively thick atmosphere. i want another zelda like that.
if OoT is raiders of the lost ark, then MM is temple of doom.

If you're not going to finish the game, at least watch the last few hours. The game [sp]gets really dark and emotional. People die, shit gets broken and Link becomes a total badass.[/sp]
The one thing I don't like about Zelda is the difficulty. The game was plenty difficult when I was a child playing Ocarina of Time, but I just can't get engrossed in newer Zelda titles. It's just too easy. Sure some puzzles might throw me off for a bit, but there's no real challenge, no real danger. The enemies are really formulaic. You swing at an enemy and he blocks your attack, so the solution is to wait for him to attack you. Other enemies might shoot something at you, and you need to reflect it back at them. These are all fine ideas for enemy variety, but where's the difficulty? I want something that genuinely pushes me.
Given the material and audience of Zelda I don't think it needs to be Dark Souls difficult, but I honestly don't find the games that fun anymore. The art and atmosphere are great, but I'm not engrossed in the gameplay. Here's to hoping the next one bumps it up a bit.
I don't know about dungeons being hours long
i hope the areas within the dungeon are varied because the ones in the other games were long enough to to be fun but short enough where you didn't get bored of staying in them
hopefully this one will have the most intolerable companion yet
can they top Fi??? stay tuned
I liked Fi
Goddamnit nintendo, you make me want to buy a wii-u now, even though it will probably suck since the last 3 dissapointments wii, dsi, 3ds (they dissapointed me at least)
What exactly is it about the Wii-u that everyone thinks is going to suck? They've already shown that they have third party support, they've promised to fix their online service, they've upgraded the hardware... am I missing something?
What bothers me about the Wii-U, aside from the name, is that the hardware will probably give current gen consoles a run for their money, but the other next gen consoles will probably look at it and be all "eh, been there, did that 5 years ago"
As far as Zelda goes, I would LOVE to see the older games re-done in 3d. My personal favorite was SS, with MM being a close second. The MotionPlus gameplay from SS irked the crap out of me because the only time it worked right was when I was standing still practicing.I felt like the only certainties in life were death and the MotionPlus not working right in the heat of battle.
I loved 4S. I want to see more of that. Come on Nintendo, let me and my friends team up to conquer a dungeon. I'm excited to see what the next zelda game has in store for us. I will forever be a zelda fan, and will play anything with the zelda name because of that... except the CDi games.
I've played and beaten two of the CDi games. :v:
Also, I really didn't like 4S. It hardly felt like a Zelda game. Just a multiplayer hack-and-slash with zelda-themed levels. The whole thing really bothered me with how shallow it really was.

So OoT is good and MM is terrible and cheesy? What.:suicide:
[QUOTE=Dalndox;37593452]The whole thing really bothered me with how shallow it really was.[/QUOTE]
That's probably because it focuses more on the co-op experience, which I think is totally fine.
