I have an excellent memory for details like this. Games, movies, books, everything, I can remember tons of stuff about them. I love details.

I believe that's classified as Saria's Song, Kingvudu. In fact I'm sure it is

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #551 on:** March 03, 2005, 10:50:19 AM »

Saria's Song is a drug...If Ninty doesn't include it in the game it's getting a 7.9!

Not really, but I'll be really sad!

No pirated material here.

Link to all music Zelda that isn't out of print.

(Exchange rates are in the pits right now so it may be best to hold off on purchases a little while)

Awesome, thanks for the link. I'll definitely use this site in the future, just need to figure out the yen exchange rate

My experience of doing something in Zelda the normal way vs easy way comes from Gerudo's Fortress in OOT. I had no idea the patrolling guards could be rendered unconcious so I stealthed around resulting in much anger and frustration. It was only on my second play through that I even thought about using my bow on the guards. Brilliant.

Oh ya! Hahaha, you should of seen my face when I found that out. I was so pissed off. There was this impossible room to get through, this mid-sized room had not one, but three guards. Time and time again I would get cuaght and have to start all over. I was so frustrated that I took out my bow, and shot a guard right in the head. She stopped walking......WTF?!

Come to think of it, Gerudo's Valley was one of my favorite places in the game. Even getting to the valley was fun (having to jump the bridge with Epona).

Damn, what would I give for a graphically updated version of OOT, and I mean, updated to the quality of GCN upcoming one. I actually believe that would be a clever launch title for Revolution,updated power kickass graphics and some new controls, and since the game is so awesome theres nothing that could go wrong. Now obviously it would just be a remake, but certainly good to fill the void until the next Zelda in 2007/8!

Dasmos · « **Reply #557 on:** March 07, 2005, 10:55:50 PM »

I played OoT and Master Quest on my GC over the weekend. I started and timed myself on how long it took me to finish, from the start, the Great Deku tree dungeon. It took 12 minutes in OoT and 32 in master quest........ it is just plain harder to kill Queen Gohma i beleive...

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #558 on:** March 08, 2005, 05:59:33 AM »

No remakes, please.

I think I preferred sneaking into the Forsaken Fortress to the Gerudo infiltration. I'm not totally sure. The Forsaken Fortress was much more fun and a decent challenge, whereas the Gerudo Fortress was still fun but more of a challenge.

Hemmorrhoid · « **Reply #559 on:** March 09, 2005, 07:27:30 AM »

Indeed, the Forsaken Fortress was more of a challenge, but not very demanding nonetheless (and im a very average gamer). It was certainly more fun and had more of a "stealthy sneaky" atmosphere, especially since you could hide in a barrel.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #560 on:** March 09, 2005, 02:57:05 PM »

it is just plain harder to kill Queen Gohma i beleive...

Are you sure?...I can defeat her with a single deku seed in Master Quest, so I can't see her being much easier in the original game...

And back on subject, supposedly we get a new trailer tomorrow sometime during or after Iwata's GDC speech, but we'll see...

MysticGohan24 · « **Reply #561 on:** March 09, 2005, 04:52:18 PM »

Yes Bill, we will have a New Zelda trailer tomorrow from GDC around 11am PST probably 2:00pm EST/2:30

can't wait, Matt Cassamanfran has been credited along with "other" sources that points to a high chance of this happening tomorrow.

Now where's my cookie?

Rancid Planet · « **Reply #562 on:** March 09, 2005, 10:30:09 PM »

Do you prefer OREO or Chip's Ahoy?

That trailer better be something speacial. So many people are counting on it to reveal at least SOME details about the game. As for me, I just want something else to speculate over besides what we already have.

MysticGohan24 · « **Reply #563 on:** March 10, 2005, 02:33:35 AM »

I like Chips Ahoy! Matey. I told bill we would see something soon, and I was right Yay! can't wait.

I hope it's atleast 2 mins long full of the goodstuff

Wishfulthinking

Artimus · « **Reply #564 on:** March 10, 2005, 08:36:45 AM »

Oh my...the graphics in this new trailer are amazing! We're talking RE4 quality...

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #565 on:** March 10, 2005, 08:59:18 AM »

Notes from trailer...

- Link can "boar-jack" Bokoblins
- Link can swim
- Link appears to be fighting a Goron in a clip
- Link can pick up kitties (I THINK THAT IS AWESOME OK)
- Link's parry attack still seems to be included (or perhaps certain moves are part of a new battle engine)
- Stalfos return
- Scary ghost things ;_;
- Spider enemy can wrap Link up in its web
- Link can target enemies with his bow on horseback without going into first-person...
- Wolf howls at moon at end of clip...Wonder what that's supposed to mean?

Overall good stuff...

Don'tHate742 · « **Reply #566 on:** March 10, 2005, 08:59:23 AM »

Oh my god! It's amazing

you know how hard it is to type right now!

Ian Sane · « **Reply #567 on:** March 10, 2005, 09:21:17 AM »

Way to list the details, Bill. After viewing the trailer I was so wowed I could hardly remember what I saw.

They just showed so much stuff in that trailer. It's unreal. We can easily discuss this until E3. There are just so many bits to analyse.

What I love the most is that this trailer looked more like Ocarina of Time did than the first. A fair bit of people were concerned that maybe Zelda would get too mature and too realistic. But this looks like Zelda. The Goron looks like a Goron, the Stalfos look like Stalfos. There's a sense of goofiness in the whole thing like all the Zeldas have. At the same time the spider looks like a spider should and the ghosts are scary as ghosts should be. There's a really good balance of detail and traditional Zelda style. In terms of appearance they've NAILED it. This is exactly what "realistic Zelda" should look like.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #568 on:** March 10, 2005, 09:24:44 AM »

Oh yeah, the enemies now drop their weapons like in Wind Waker...I was worried they had taken it out after seeing the original trailer...

- Enemies seem to explode in a flash of light and body parts after being defeated (or at least, the spider does)
- The ghosts look like soldiers, and perhaps an item is used for them to appear (Lens of Truth?)
- You can see some forest guardian giant
- The statue enemy awakens much like the statues in the Tower of the Gods from Wind Waker...
- The Skeleton Beasts actually spray saliva everywhere after you strike them
- Parry attack seems to be...THE DOWNWARD THRUST! (from AoL and Super Smash Brothers!)
- Link has a Fire Arrow of some sort (uses on Pterodactyl-like enemies)
- Link shows emotion and actually looks behind him while running from Gohma...
- Link can destroy Stalfos shields
- Link has a fancy "put the sword away" animation (from the original trailer)
- 1:08 into the trailer, Link "smacks" a Stalfos with something other than his sword...His shield or fist?

Caterkiller · « **Reply #569 on:** March 10, 2005, 09:29:04 AM »

That was so refreshing to look at after that Shadow Gun stuff. But wow, I love the way the horse back fighting scenes look, dragons fly after you and you can run the moblin things over with the boar. It looks amazingly fun. Any one notice the Zelda II/Smash Bros/ Soul calibur downward thrust against the spider? How about the ghosts in that sewer looking place, I wonder if they were good or bad, they didn't seem to evil. Or that giant "Sand Man" type thing, couldn't tell if it was good or bad.

When Link took a dive, did you notice all the fish swimming about? Or that Link seemed to swim more like Mario(as in swimming where ever he wants under water) instead of strait down then up like OoT? Notice the dragon wings as they glide, the flap of skin flaps realisticly in the wind. The Goron looks amazing, with its yellow markings, im glad to see their back(or at least one with a cooler role) and not wearing anything that covers it up like in WW.

Or how about that red butted ape thing that has the boomarang? Its good to see the enemies can still hit each other.

And finaly it appears that link still keeps his eyes on an enemy and looks around at them as he fights. At least with the gigantic spider I could see that. I would have been very angry if that aspect of WW was left out. But with the same engine how could it?

This one defenitly seems more action packed. But no doubt plenty of great puzzles will be around in the dungeons.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #570 on:** March 10, 2005, 09:30:41 AM »

PICKING UP A KITTY? Now I need this game. No seriously, I love kitties.
I won't get to see the trailer until free-surf time here at work.

*Looks at clock*...one and a half hours to go...

Don'tHate742 · « **Reply #571 on:** March 10, 2005, 10:24:04 AM »

Bill amazing list....how'd you notice that he hit the Stalfo with his shield/fist?

Anyways here's some more...

-Link shield can also be destroyed/punched away (look at goron fighting scene)
-Mulitple enemies attack Link at the same time
-An item is used when looking at the ghosts becuase there is a thick yellow path of air that seems to lead to somewhere
-Link has a bomb arrow
-Enemies seem alot harder since they don't wait to attack, they just do it...
-Link can strike enemies that have fallen, but are not dead
-Link turns his head to look at enemies, even if he's not targeting them
-I'm not sure on your previous point about Link being able to lock on to things while riding his horse, but your right about him not going in to FPV to fire his bow
-Link travels to a range of local, but what else is new

EDIT: The goron could very well be training Link. The setting of the fight seems to be in some closed off area. I could be wrong since the Goron doesn't look very happy, but who knows.

nemo_83 · « **Reply #572 on:** March 10, 2005, 10:50:54 AM »

wow. That trailer was the phat.

The graphics were awesome, especially at the end when the wolf was howling. Maybe we will get to ride the wolf.

Doshin the Giant is in the game, that is awesome.

We can ride the boars.

The trees look better this time.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #573 on:** March 10, 2005, 11:29:04 AM »

I'll make logical commentary and stuff on this when I'm done cleaning up all the orgasm goo I made everywhere.

norebonomis · « **Reply #574 on:** March 10, 2005, 11:37:21 AM »

maybe link is picking up the kitty to feed some kind monster. haha. shutup i'm not evil.
