Link can grab her by her neck and swing her around to break stuff... I see nothing wrong with that.

I can see the lawsuits against Nintendo now when some kid wants to try that out with his little sister which results in serious injury or worse...

Wow, nice concept art. I don't know where IGN was getting the impression that this was a much more "mature" Link. He looks the same age to me he looked in Twilight Princess, which was the same age he looked in the Smash Bros. games, which was the same age he looked in Ocarina of Time.

As for the girl, I don't think she's the embodiment of anything or a G'nark/Crystal-style weapon. It strikes me that we've had the Master Sword in the Zelda series ever since Link to the Past, but anyone else wonder who made it? I'm willing to bet the girl is from the race of people who forged the Master Sword, and you may get to meet them in this new Zelda game. She actually reminded me a lot of the look for the Sages in Twilight Princess with those masks they wore.

I definitely side with theory 1.

Instead of re-describing what you are referring to, maybe you should find an actual example so people understand. I'm sure google pics has plenty of excellent examples to illustrate your idea.

Now, let's load this thread with even more images. I went looking, and I've found some examples that might help illustrate what I mean by a watercolored game world for this new Zelda:

A (likely simplified) take on this kind of visual style could be fantastic.

I like the second picture's style.

The following post is unrelated to Zelda.

I imagined Mario Sunshine would look something like the third one. Part of that very first trailer made it look like the whole world would be flooded with paint; I wouldn't mind another FLUDDventure if it could take on a deeper sense of gameplay. Maybe Bowser takes control of the sun and starts melting stuff, I just thought that would make more sense in the Mario universe.

Wow, I hadn't even thought about the similarity of the girl to the Great Fairy Queen in Wind Waker. Interesting...

wow link is buff, with some work i've made these

usually zelda concept art looks like this, here is some from a link to the past

a recurring theme

recurring theme 2 the doorway

i like the theory that the girl is his sword

reacurring theme?

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #33 on:** June 05, 2009, 04:17:35 AM »

Have you guys thought maybe she uses Link as a weapon? I just BLEW your minds!

ThePerm · « **Reply #34 on:** June 05, 2009, 05:01:55 AM »

nwr asked me if i could use my picture, before the real art appeared everywhere. I could have spent more time on it to make it look like TP art, but first come.....that was a blury pic....as many filters as i ran it through it was hard to pick out details... in the art work links wearing his ocarina wear

Chozo Ghost · « **Reply #35 on:** June 05, 2009, 07:56:44 AM »

Link has the poor girl's decapitated head stuck onto the end of his sword like some macabre trophy!

Edit: Also, it appears her head has shrunken somehow. This proves the game includes a head shrinking mini game.... hopefully with M+ support!

lol I love that this artwork was released. Our NOA rep hunted me down yesterday telling us to immediately take down the picture. I'm guessing you can thank NWR for this official artwork getting out to the world.

You're work is well appreciated, NWR! Your years of anti-Nintendoism are forgiven. (too bad you guys are never going to another E3 ever again...)

No, just no Miyomoto roundtables!

stevey · « **Reply #40 on:** June 05, 2009, 09:45:05 AM »

Well, NWR could just send out a press release say the the one who did it was fired. Problem solved.

Going back on topic... Wasn't there artwork shown with Link painting? Maybe this new Zelda is the Zelda Ripoff Ripoff with Link drawing on a piece of transpart paper to summon bombs, slashes, keys, stairs, etc and Mistress Sword makes it happen.

Problem solved. Zelda Ripoff

1st of all, I had no idea you could do that. This is the 2nd time I've learned a forum trick by quoting you. Last time was getting giant text in you post on the old forum software, this time I did'nt even notice the trick in your post until I quoted it.

It wouldn't make sense the other way, her neck would have stretch waaay too far to be sword & link would have to stop what he's doing and grab her by her ankles (not as fun as it sounds) to use her.

I not sure what the line of code you got going on in the 2nd part of this post is, so I'm sending you a PM.

Wait, is my photobucket account going to be hit with a cease and desist?

This is an interesting point. I too hoped that the world covered in paint had a deeper relationship to the gameplay. More than just clean vs. not clean, and more than making the surface slippery so Mario could slide about. The transformation of buildings and structures was a hint towards this direction, but those were mostly canned instances. If Bowser could melt structures, I could see Mario also melting structures or creating supplemental structures to aid his platforming depending on the substance that was sprayed. It already worked in some capacity in Kirby's Canvas Curse, using an ability that's reminiscent of comic book Ice Men who travel on flying frozen sidewalks.

ThePerm · « **Reply #44 on:** June 05, 2009, 03:06:56 PM »

lol if only we were game developers we could turn that into a game

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #45 on:** June 05, 2009, 03:33:20 PM »

Oh, right, I think the game was called "Spray" for Wii. lols

This industry is a mess.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #46 on:** June 06, 2009, 02:18:35 AM »

So do you guys think this game will be more exploration based than recent Zeldas?

Caterkiller · « **Reply #47 on:** June 06, 2009, 03:01:53 AM »

There will probably be just as much exploring as there ever was Maxi. But something has seriously got to change. I love realistic style, but I like when there is a cartoony ness to the characters, much like TP had, but still something is missing all together. I thought most of the invironments were kinda lame, except for the sky temple. Most everything just looked fairly boring. Don't get me wrong I loved what I went through, I just didn't like to look at much of it. Now Hyrul field on the other hand I loved, and thought it looked great.

Actually now that I think about it, I really liked that Sandy temple, Hyrul castle(liked the way it looked not what was in there to be done, lame!) and going down the river shooting the vases was very magical to me, and that part had the only memorable music in the game.

I can't really think what they will do to make it fresh and unique. Mario is zany enough that they can take him into space and do all these wierd things, and it worked perfectly, I think most would agree on that. But zelda, seems like its stuck in an ancient time period and there is only so much you can do. But you know what, since its fantasy they can go nuts, and I can't wait to see what they come up with.

Anyone else want a way to fly? Like a dragon or owl to ride over the land scape? Its not ground breaking but I think i would be a welcome addition to the zelda universa. But how could you make Epona not obsolete?

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #48 on:** June 06, 2009, 03:22:39 AM »

I think that there was more exploration in the NES and SNES Zeldas.Maybe that had to do with the time those games came out.

Maybe with the transportation you could do something like in the GC Tales game. You start by walking then get Epona later then near the end of the game you get a dragon but Epona is still needed for different areas.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #49 on:** June 06, 2009, 03:29:45 AM »

or how about Epona gets a magical upgrade late in the game that makes him a Pegasus.
You know, you feed Epona a Redbull then all of a sudden he has wings.
