hahaha classic cartoon. It was so bad, yet so interesting to watch. I especially was fond of how he said what he was going to do before he did it. While struggling, "I....have....to get to.....the main control center.....before....it's too late" hehe

I noticed that Hyrule or whatever will have a river.....like a big river, where you need a bridge or a snorkel for "epona" to get across it. Look at :30, all the way in the background you can see a gurge (sp) of some kind, and I am almost positive it is a river, especially because it curves and bends. Also notice in the Goron fighting scene, there seems to be a village there. If you look in the background you can see a weird shaped builing and some siluhettes (sp) of buildings.

When Link is riding his trusty boar (1:14), there is a huge hill with a sharp point indicating a forest. It is especially larger than the hill seen at 1:11, with the same remincent point. How do I know it's larger than this hill? Well for one thing, you can see three tree shaped figures to the left of the point indicating that unless those trees are mammoth in proportion, it must be a small hill. The other hill though (1:14), is huge! You can see bumps on it telling you that it has many trees, and since it's so far away, yet even bigger than the hill of 1:11, it most definitely most be a huge mountian hill forest area....thing. Do you think this is where the wolf was when it howled?

First of all, we don't have a good perspective on the distance he travels while diving. Second of all, from the screen shot of that tree beast type thing, that place is HUGE. Look at link.....he's tiny.

I didn't express myself very clearly, sorry. In the tree shot, the ground begins at the bottom of the cave. You can see where and how big the cave is in proportion to the tree. Though you cannot tell how far Link dives down, you can see from the position of the two branches that there should at least be the top of the cave showing. To my intuition, Link should be near the bottom, but that's just me I guess.

Let's get things into reference... at 0:10 Link is BARELY as tall as the vines are long (maybe longer!), a few feet from his position. In the bright SWAMP THING screen shot, Link is well into the foreground -- so if we were to place him deeper into the background closer to the vines, his relative image would definitely shrink, becoming comparable to the size of the vines. So as i see it, when Link dives, his body made a vertical plunge and he totally submerges himself with this feet getting below the surface. But he soon slows down, as a simulated viscous Zelda liquid would cause, and changes his angle, shown at 0:14 by looking straight into his eyes in which this line traces back to the far edge of the water surface that touches the tree behind him. If he was still vertical, and we were looking into his eyes as such, we should be able to get a look at the sky, but that's not the case. Even at 0:14, the vines still seem close by. Why? cuz they're BIG.

In conclusion, Link barely reaches the top of the archway/cave opening, which isn't even halfway down to the "real" bottom (SWAMP THING screen shows a nice flat floor, but the Watery Jungle-ish screen shows tons of crap in the bottom blocking much of the archway). Link will command the animals by throwing cats into the action as bait incentives.

Caillan · « **Reply #678 on:** March 14, 2005, 10:18:52 PM »

Ah, I see now. I was confused regarding the points at which the angle changes on each tree, leading me to think the tree in the trailer much smaller than it actually is. Sorry 'bout that.

Don'tHate742 · « **Reply #679 on:** March 14, 2005, 10:23:21 PM »

If you look at 0:15 you can clearly see how small Link is. Though I don't think this is the same entrance as shown in the official shot, it should show how small he is comparative to the ponds border.

the latest rumor! its kind of a minor spoiler if you want, but seems *SPOILER!

* that ganondorf will be in the game

http://imdb.com/title/tt0441877/

imdb is not the kind of site you would go to get info on games, but their databases are always accurate, and for what Ive seen so far imdb isnt the kind of site that would put false information.

Just a reminder, but this doesnt mean there will be voice dialogs, since the same actor has already participated in previous Zelda games, they just need them to do the grunts and yells and things like that.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #681 on:** March 15, 2005, 02:08:34 PM »

Notice that Ganondorf has a last name in the new Zelda, but is just "Ganondorf" in WW. Nintendo is not going to give the 'real' Ganondorf a last name. But obviously if he's named Ganondorf and he has a voice actor than he's going to be important in one way or another, I just doubt he'll be the main villian.

According to that site, though, he was "voice" in Mario Power Tennis, and I refuse to believe that the annoying announcer in MPT is none other than Ganondorf.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #682 on:** March 15, 2005, 02:17:35 PM »

Dragmire, what? If this is real, then this is definitely a new character, and not the Ganondorf we know and love (hate, whoops)...Then again, it could be fake fake fake...

MysticGohan24 · « **Reply #683 on:** March 15, 2005, 02:48:47 PM »

Actually bill In OOT Ganon's name was revealed as Ganondorf Dragmire, Dragmire being his last name, from what I remembered in a Nintendo power issue and at E3 when OOT was playable.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #684 on:** March 15, 2005, 02:52:41 PM »

Not in the game, from what I recall...I would remember it otherwise...

mantidor · « **Reply #685 on:** March 15, 2005, 02:54:22 PM »

I wouldnt mind ganondorf with a last name, it wouldnt be so shocking for my tastes, and I could even tolerate Zelda's last name, as long as its not some ackward name. I actually like Dragmire, it sounds nice.

I think it would be really funny to find out about the actors who do the voices in games, the could easily play two completly different characters and we wouldnt even have a clue that its the voice of the same person. They are voice actors after all, it wouldnt look so good for an actor like that to only have one type of voice.

MysticGohan24 · « **Reply #686 on:** March 15, 2005, 02:54:30 PM »

Perhaps, but the fact remains that was his official name back at e3 97'-98'

Miyamoto came up with it

Im sure Bloodworth or Rick can confirm it

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #687 on:** March 15, 2005, 02:57:00 PM »

Actually, after going through my old manuals, the name Dragmire dates back to Link to the Past...

MysticGohan24 · « **Reply #688 on:** March 15, 2005, 03:01:15 PM »

Really? Cool, I don't know since I haven't seen mine in such a long time, I just remembered what Miyamoto called him at E3 when they had OOT out and that's where we learned of everything, heh.

There you have it, Ganondorf Dragmire

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #689 on:** March 15, 2005, 04:09:32 PM »

Wow, I would have been willing to the miracle of birth that Ganondorf didn't have a last name.......Of course, it seems vaguely familiar now that I think of it, but still...>_>

I really don't like the fact that he's got a last name. It just makes me all.....squirmy. I liked "Link, Zelda, Ganon[dorf]." If you wanted variation, just add a prefix (Pupput/Phantom Ganon, Shadow Link, etc). Bleah.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #690 on:** March 15, 2005, 04:29:22 PM »

I'm doubting this is true, mainly because I don't think imdb would be aware of this sort of information without the entire gaming society being aware. I'm guessing they're making assumptions. I've seen them do it before, and I hardly even use the site.
Not to say Ganon won't be in it, but I highly doubt he will, and I wouldn't count this as being a reliable source.
Dragmire is a pretty cool name, though.

Edit: Also, it seems Nobuyuki Hiyama has quite a long and prestigious record of making noises for characters in video games.

Shorty McNostril · « **Reply #691 on:** March 15, 2005, 08:43:14 PM »

Wasn't Ganon in the old trailer fighting Link with the chains in the ring of fire? (as the Beast)

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #692 on:** March 15, 2005, 08:54:15 PM »

Why on earth would you assume that was Ganon? It just looked like a fairly standard boss to me, probably the boss to the fire temple.

eh. imdb is notorious for essentially posting any information/rumors/random guesses they come up with without any confirmation.

I can't imagine Ganondorf not being in this one, though.

I can.....*looks at Majora's Mask*

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #695 on:** March 17, 2005, 05:48:51 AM »

Yeah, it's teh realistic Ocarina of Time so of course Ganondorf needs to be in it. I mean, it's absolutely inconceivable, BEYOND THE POWER OF THE IMAGINATION, to even consider the fact that Ganondorf MIGHT not be in it. How could anyone possibly even ponder something like that, it's ridiculous!

They showed Icons Legend of Zelda on G4 a couple of days ago... It was great. I still hope Nintendo would do something like that for the release of the game

They interviewed Matt fom IGN though ...

vudu · « **Reply #699 on:** March 17, 2005, 11:38:45 AM »

Hey Bill, has Nintendo in any way, shape or form referred to the new Zelda game as Zelda XII? Just curious. I saw someone else referring to the game as Zelda X (he counted the Oracle games as a single game, and Four Swords didn't get a number because it was a spin-off, a'la Code Veronica).
