Hm. That's funny, I didn't spoil anything.

As it stands, Link going off to save the world will involve saving Ilia. When she gets shot by the Marauder's arrow, becoming injured (as Nintendo Power issue 194 just confirmed), and she becomes whisked off to the twilight realm (also confirmed), Link will no doubt set out to rescue her and her brother Colin. In other words, they'll meet again some time after the whole episode in Toaru Village.

Well, okay, okay, I should say "friend who is a girl." Though, Ilia DOES have a crush on Link, and Link is suggested as having tenderer feelings for her, too. Both hide it, however, what with Ilia "scolding" Link when he jumps fences with the horse and all.
I strongly suspect something might develop between them down the road. Who wouldn't want that--they're a cute couple!

Anybody else think that Link's new girlfriend Ilia is shaping up to be a Saria-caliber classic? You know, one of those characters that hopeless romantics will write about in their fanfics for years to come? I'm starting to get that vibe, but hey, the more memorable characters, the better! The little boy Colin, the mustachioed Mayor, and even the pot-bellied Chieftain Marauder all look like classic characters, too.
Nintendo's design work truly is stellar. Twilight Princess isn't even out yet (won't be for several more months, sadly), but already the people and worlds in it have that special, timeless quality, as though we've been with them for ages. That's the sign of a winning Zelda, if you ask me.

Actually, there have been a number of dragons in Zeldas past, among them Volvagia and Valoo. And I'm well aware of Zoras, though in keeping the "beast" theme of each dungeon, having Link work with dolphins in the Water Temple would be perfectly fitting.
Hey, in the Forest Temple he's working with chimps and not Kokori or Dekus--what's up with that? (sarcasm)
As for my user icon, thanks for the specifications; I'll change it as soon as I get back from church.

I'm not sure if anybody's mentioned this, but yes, Eiji Aonuma has confirmed that Twilight Princess will boast AT LEAST as many full-fledged dungeons as its legendary predecessor, Ocarina of Time.
That means that Twilight Princess will at least have eight dungeons and eight bosses (and we already know that some additional bosses are featured in the overworld, like the boar-riding Chieftan Marauder).
What's especially promising is that the tentatively titled Forest Temple, which is purportedly the first true dungeon in the game, already looks ten times larger and more complex than the Great Deku Tree. This comes as no surprise; in the same way that Majora's Mask ramped up its difficulty for those who had experienced Ocarina, so too will this game take it up a notch for those who have already met the challenge of Wind Waker (however little challenge that might have been).
Also, we've already seen that there's a ton of exposition leading up to the first dungeon, namely Toaru Village, the Twilight Castle mini-dungeon (think of it as the TP equivalent of the Forsaken Fortress in TWW), and the Chieftan Marauder chase.
All in all, it's looking good so far. IGN did confirm that Miyamoto is a lot more involved in this one, so by combining his brilliance with that of Aonuma, this should be one huge game. Perhaps it really will live up to its claim of having seventy hours of gameplay minimum...
P.S. Does anybody think that the dungeons in this game will be beast-themed, as opposed to element-themed? In the "Forest Temple," there's a huge emphasis on working together with the resident monkeys. Perhaps in a "Water Temple," you'll work with dolphins, and in a "Fire Temple," you'll contend with dragons? Link is a beastmaster in this game, after all!

General Chat / mouse_clicker's Short Story
« on: July 05, 2003, 07:08:55 AM »
It's a shame that the names and terminology in LotR have to be so needlessly complicated and watonly geeky, but other then an uninteresting introduction (the weakest point --- start it off with a bang to grab peoples' attention) and the fact that every three words is followed by some obscure reference to the author's literary notes, it was pretty good, with an awesome battle to heat the action up. Maybe a little more imagery could be used to describe the characters, especially the Balrog, whose description I wouldn't be able to identify with had I not seen the movies and recognized the fiery whips and sword.
Ah, but don't worry about what I say, I've always been cynical towards domestic fantasy. I hate the names. But the movies are awesome. Aragorn kicks all sorts of ass.

General Chat / Downright hilarious --- a must-see Flash movie for any Nintendo fan!
« on: June 22, 2003, 04:58:28 PM »
I was browsing the Zelda boards over at IGN earlier today when I stumbled upon a link to an AWESOME Flash movie on the Zelda games, one called "The Return of Ganondorf." I didn't know what to expect at first (I clicked on it only out of curiosity) but I was literally smiling ear to ear by the time the end credits rolled. It's absolutely hilarious, a total pleasure to watch, with colorful, smoothly animated illustrations and brilliant voice work, making the Zelda fanatic in me warm and tingly with glee, and I think that even casual fans of the series could find some enjoyment in it. It's really good, in my opinion. But enough blabbing. Check it out at:
The Return of Ganondorf
As its rating clearly indicates, it's totally clean, so you can rest easy as you enjoy the hilarious antics of Link as he investigates Ganondorf's sudden change of character. And it downloads quickly, too, in spite of its good length. You'll love it, I guarantee. And I know this would be better suited for the Zelda boards, but please moderators, leave it here, where this great work of art can get some proper exposure. This movie made me really happy, and I bet it'll make others here happy too. Don't take it as an ad; take it as a heads-up for a real Nintendo fan treat.
Anyways, be sure to post your thoughts afterwards. Perhaps this will encourage the guy (or girl) who made the movie to make a sequel. And try clicking a bunch of times on Ganondorf's squeak doll at the end for another special treat!
God, I love this movie. I'll put it in my sig.
