I've confirmed that there's a horse in this game.

I've confirmed that Link's probably in this game.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #152 on:** December 17, 2004, 11:31:44 AM »

NO WAY?!

I'm speculating he can block all kinds of things with a shield.

Major disappointment... I've heard rumors that Zelda wears clothes.

I'm sure that's a blow to plenty of people all over the world.

Or how about Link's sword having a finishing move where he thrusts it into an enemy, then the enemy turns to stone. Link can then smash the statue with his hammer or kick it with his magic boots and it crumbles. Otherwise he can probably jump onto it to reach a high ledge.

"kick it with his magic boots"
Ara? well, if you really wanted to go the stone route, I'm a sick bastard and I'd collect them instead of breaking them.

"Your stone collection is 97.1% complete!"

STONED GET!!

I hate you all for making a mockery out of this topic...

Poor Bill... Here, have a cookie.

I think the next Zelda is going to be pretty good...

Mario · « **Reply #159 on:** December 20, 2004, 07:52:52 PM »

Yeah I hope it's pretty good.

I can't wait to talk to the people in this game, I haven't seen any in the media so far, but it's a Zelda game so i'm guessing there will be lots of NPC interaction. I think that might be why Majora's Mask is better than Ocarina of Time, I loved all the characters in MM and i enjoyed talking to them and seeing what they had to say at certain times of day and after I had done certain things to see what they thought about something that happened. I cared about them!

Or maybe there will be no friendly NPC's? Besides Link, there are only enemies seen in the media so far, so maybe Link is the last person alive and it's Link vs the world of bad guys? After fighting bad guy after bad guy, Link gets tired and sits by the lake and questions his existance and expresses his angry thoughts via poetry. Then Link comes across an underwater city of survivers and recruits an army and thus a war between good and evil begins.

Ok, fine, some

NEW-OLD SCREENSHOTS that I capped from the E3 trailer.

NEW because Windows98 disk operating system tells me the files were created recently, and OLD because the trailer is &#@$$&%#%#@ old.

Now we can resume with bashing the N64-ish character designs that come from 7-month old video footage.

What's not to mock? OK, for Bill, back on subject.

TINGLE TEH ROX0RZ.

Given the "teh mature" style change, will Link still carry watermelon-sized bombs over his head, or will they be hand-held like in SSBM? This is all assuming the new game retains bombs.

What about pottery?

Will he be able to pickup girls?

kirby_killer_dedede · « **Reply #163 on:** December 21, 2004, 01:37:11 PM »

More than just pick them up.

He can throw them too.

AAHAHAHAHHA i'm funny, i know.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #164 on:** December 22, 2004, 06:17:26 AM »

There will definitely be NPCs in the game. I can't see Nintendo making do without, because NPCs are what drive the storyline in the Zelda series. I suppose they could try to drive it through enemy NPCs instead of friendlies...but...I'm losing my focus. I think we just haven't seen any NPCs because standing around talking in a town doesn't make for the most exciting screenshots and Nintendo doesn't want to show off too much of the game.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #165 on:** December 22, 2004, 01:07:22 PM »

Monster thing: "Grumble grumble."

Old man in red pajamas: "Goto the eastern hole something."

NPC interaction indeed!

NPCs are also what distract you from the main storyline/adventure. I LOVED FINDING CUCCOS.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #166 on:** December 23, 2004, 09:17:35 AM »

Ha ha, well I'm excepting the first game, obviously. I personally find the original Legend of Zelda kind of depressing specifically because of the lack of NPCs. It's a good game, but it feels devoid of life to me.
The main storyline of most Zelda games is pretty simplistic. Interesting side-stories give the game character and allow you to develop the personality you want for the hero. They also let you choose how involved you want to get. I read an interesting roundtable on the future of RPGs on RPGamer one time where someone argued that the current style of storytelling in RPGs is getting stale and he suggested stories that revolve around the people you meet and places you go. I think that's the kind of storytelling videogames are perfect for because they allow you to change the story and experience the story in a different order than any other player. In fact that's why I would argue that stories are worth having in games even if they aren't as well written as books or movies: they give you the opportunity to experience storytelling in a different way.

Meh...the first Zelda was okay. Just kinda..."a to slash".

I guess it would've been fun had I not played ocarina, Majora, and Wind Waker first. ^_^

MysticGohan24 · « **Reply #168 on:** December 23, 2004, 11:58:43 AM »

lol, I'd always found it fun.

even as of now. I will play the classics on my nes : )

Mario · « **Reply #169 on:** December 23, 2004, 01:04:15 PM »

The original Legend of Zelda is the most recent one i've played, I played it after OoT, MM, and Wind Waker, and I found it much harder and less boring.. but overall not as fun, it's better than LttP though, I find LttP incredibly boring. Zelda games definately went in another direction as of LttP, I've noticed I died over 100 times in the original Zelda, but LttP I only died about 10 times, and OoT, MM, TWW I didn't die at all. The emphasis seems to have changed from half action / half adventure (original Zelda) to 80% adventure and 20% action (ever since LttP). I hope the horse combat of this new one turns the action up a bit.

MysticGohan24 · « **Reply #170 on:** December 23, 2004, 03:57:54 PM »

better not tell Bill that, he may bite your head off

kirby_killer_dedede · « **Reply #171 on:** December 24, 2004, 08:20:46 AM »

ALttP is no doubt my favorite Zelda, just like many others'. I agree with what you said, Mario - it has some good things but the overall game isn't as fun.

AManatee2 · « **Reply #172 on:** December 25, 2004, 06:02:36 PM »

hehe, wow, you would probably kill me for saying that majora's mask just might be my favourite zelda.

the sad part is, my friend, i have no freaking idea WHYYYY.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #173 on:** December 25, 2004, 06:16:22 PM »

Mask of Mujula is my fav Zeruda too. People don't understand us.

kirby_killer_dedede · « **Reply #174 on:** December 26, 2004, 04:19:40 AM »

mmmm, mujulaaaaa.
