Lots of neat little things in that trailer.. it's still all sinking in.. one thing that sticks out though to me is *ducks* the crappy awkward looking animations and stuff. It doesn't look fun to control, and in some scenes Link moves like a rejected Enter the Matrix character, but I guess this trailer isn't really gameplay footage so I can't judge that. The frame rate looks dodgy but that's just the video's fault I guess.

I'll have to watch it more, MORE!

Don'tHate, you have some good observations, but he doesn't lose his shield in the Goron battle, it just switches to being onto his back. You can see it as he gets up.

Also, bomb arrows = best.

Mario, the animation looks fluid to me...Particularly in the Boomerang Baboon scene...Flawless...

Oh My ! What a siiiiickkk trailer !!

Hmm, now, is it just me or does this game look a lot like parts from Ocarina of Time / Majoras Mask ?
-The wolf at the end...similar to majora and the moon
-The Goron and Link fighting - Can it be the land of Hyrule?
-The ghosts look like they're in the well from OoT
-The castle - could it be the new kingdom or Hyrule from the past?
-The music at the end of the video - its like mystical, similar to a majora kind of tune, no?
-Huge wide open land like OoT and forests like MM
-And the huge spider is like Gohma from OoT
-Big guy looks like one of those 4 giants from MM

HmMm only time will tell I suppose

NOTE: Heh, ya sorry I noticed some things have been said, I just copied it over from another thread XD

This will be the best Zelda ever simply because they're bringing back the bomb/arrow combo. Please, please, PLEASE let me be able to steal from the stores (with consequences, of course

)

Oh yeah, I'd like the return of the shovel plz. An underground cavern-like dungeon would be cool, too. As a side note, I really think the environments from Nausicaa would be terrific in a Zelda game, but......no one cares

Wow, best looking game I have scene yet. Gives RE4 a run for its money in terms of visuals prestige. From the video, it really looks like Nintendo is adding alot of gameplay elements to this installment. WW pretty much played exactly like OoT, but it looks their is going to be alot more to fighting enemies than before. This will be the game to play at E3, and will be the game of the year for just about every nintendo gamer. Link is definately taking a few steps up the evolutionary ladder. I wonder what it is about Zelda that makes it such a special series? I have played throgh OoT at least 20 times, most games I may never play through more than twice.

mantidor · « **Reply #581 on:** March 10, 2005, 02:37:57 PM »

I care! although Ive never seen Nausicaa, but we are talking about Ghibli here...

So Im waiting impatiently to get that trailer, damn! every site offers it in stream, and my conection is so bad that I hardly see three frames before the clip ends, I need a place to download it as soon as possible and I cant find it

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #582 on:** March 10, 2005, 02:51:39 PM »

Watch Nausicaa if only for the environments (it's a great movie anyway, and it's finally out on DVD in the States). One scene in particular just took my breath away.

If you sign up for the basic gamespot package thing (free, of course ^_^) they let you download all of the videos that they let you stream. Once you get past the initial hassle of signing up everything goes smoothly

Polemistis · « **Reply #583 on:** March 10, 2005, 03:04:21 PM »

I downloaded mine from IGN Cubed.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #584 on:** March 10, 2005, 03:28:33 PM »

Anyone else interested in seeing what that Gohma "Jurassic Park" esque chase scene is all about? Looks quite thrilling!

mantidor · « **Reply #585 on:** March 10, 2005, 03:30:58 PM »

So I finally got it, and from the IGN, the site I couldnt dislike more! ^_^... well, it was so amazing! but thats a given, so Ill just mention my only complain....

Link walks so weird, when hes fighting and going backwards his feet dont move, he seems so stiff for some reason in one of the scenes of the trailer... but anyway I just need to post this:

OMFG THIS GAME IS AWESOME!!1!1!!

sorry...

oh I forgot, I found the direct link to Nintendo's official site trailer http://media.nintendo.com/mediaFiles/52937b07-384a-4364-b8fc-e6f11617d1ab.mov

Mario · « **Reply #586 on:** March 10, 2005, 03:53:00 PM »

Yeah, hopefully he just looks like that because they are using different camera views to just show off the game because it's a trailer, and the game wasn't designed to be seen like that, but when you're playing it you might not notice it.

The water looks amazing...

mantidor · « **Reply #587 on:** March 10, 2005, 04:12:44 PM »

the water is awesome!

and I also loved how "epona" stepped over the fallen bat-like monster, it was great.

and omg that moon!! those sunsets!! it was really really beautiful!

His feet moved just fine. It's called shuffling. It's easier (and less dangerous) to "slide" or "hop" with your feet instead of complete steps over quick, short distances. Applied in many sports and games.

OH I DON'T KNOW

Aussie Ben PGC · « **Reply #589 on:** March 10, 2005, 05:04:40 PM »

Hooray! Nintendo's cool - they give dog lovers Nintendogs, and kitten lovers a new Zelda game! It works out perfectly for everyone!

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #590 on:** March 10, 2005, 05:33:24 PM »

It'll be on the back of the box..."Nintencats, only in Zelda XII!"

"Link walks so weird, when hes fighting and going backwards his feet dont move, he seems so stiff for some reason in one of the scenes of the trailer... but anyway I just need to post this:"

If I know which one you're talking about, look at it again... he's fighting on an incline, and one of his knees is already bent as he stands.

Unless you're talking about the fight with the lizard dudes... that's probably an early scene, because if you watch his legs at the scene right after that (the boomer baboon) the animation looks absolutely natural.

Guys -

Isn't it obvious that that golem-like figure is the Deku tree, in one if his many avatars?

I can't say I was impressed by the outdoor graphics, but the indoor ones were great

. Not that the graphics make too much of a difference to me in this case (or in any case) - what I'm really excited about is that the game looks like it might have a PLOT. Imagine that?! Link to the Past and Wind Waker were both great games, but both of them had stories but not really plots. I'm a plot guy

. My two biggest heuristics for game-appraisal are

#1 Vibe
#2 Plot

and everything else comes after that. So obviously I'm very excited about this new LoZ - OoT had the copious amounts of excellent vibe and plot (actually MM wasn't so bad in the vibe department either), WW, had the gameplay, and I think this will be the best of both worlds, with something new in the mix.

I wish Nintendo would release more factual details, though - I want an interview! Tell us about the new multi-faceted battle system

give us some shots of Link in a town or engaging in some pleasant, cheerful gameplay

hey, you could even harp on about the graphics engine if you really want, just talk to us about it! And in the meantime let's speculate.

Definitely Deku Tree.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #593 on:** March 10, 2005, 06:19:14 PM »

And I'll bet it's not the Deku Tree...How many rupees are we betting on this? ^_^

(I personally think Wind Waker's story was overall better than OoT's since it was more down-to-earth and rustic, and didn't have the OMG YOU ARE THE WORLD'S LAST CHANCE vibe...Of course, I still think nothing can touch Link's Awakening's story...)

mantidor · « **Reply #594 on:** March 10, 2005, 08:11:32 PM »

well, I still thinks he walks funny, but previous 3D Zelda games didnt dissapointed me with that, so Ill be expecting the movement to look better in the game.

And I just noticed that the moon seems to be from Majora's Mask, which is very weird, how could it fit in the story? and did you notice the wings of those dragon-like things waving in the air? they werent stiff wings like we are used too! it looked so awesome!, this game is just so, so beautiful I feel I cant bear it.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #595 on:** March 10, 2005, 09:23:04 PM »

The moon doesn't have a huge scary face, it's not anything like that.
It just happens to be a massively massive moon, they like those in Zelda

I'm doubting it's the Deku Tree, per se, but it's something of that nature. The cats seem to gather around that hollowed-out tree, where that thing is, or so it appears.

Mario · « **Reply #596 on:** March 10, 2005, 09:31:24 PM »

Yeah.. what's with all the dead trees?

Hemmorrhoid · « **Reply #597 on:** March 10, 2005, 10:21:00 PM »

Looks heavily LOTR inspired, but WOW!!!

mantidor · « **Reply #598 on:** March 11, 2005, 03:10:29 AM »

I all honest and truth, everything that fits the fantasy genre was inspired by LOTR, so its fine. I found it more like a mix of OoT, MM and Princess Mononoke (the boars, the wolfs, the forest!)

Now Im almost sure that moon is from MM, in the trailer the moon is so bright that we cannot see its details very well, but when it fades to black at the end we see this:

http://img193.exs.cx/img193/459/nuevo13vq.jpg

It looks better in the trailer, but trust me I cannot forget those creepy eyes, why the hell MM got an E rating? that moon was so scary! >_< maybe it was the fact that it looked a lot like Freddy Krueger, my childhood monster (I even had a nightmare with him, now thats scary)

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #599 on:** March 11, 2005, 03:13:11 AM »

That looks NOTHING like the Majora's Mask moon...

(And I'm sick and tired of hearing people saying this looks like LotR, because it DOESN'T)
