"Aunoma also confessed that he wants to make another game with the graphics engine of the wind waker in the future"

Oh yes. My prayers have been answered!

what I really found interesting was the explanation about the lack of some real underwater adventures in tWW, it makes perfect sense! celshaded transparent water is not really something easy to pull off, so they had to make the most water based Zelda of all to lack any real underwater action. Maybe in the future they'll be able to make some great celshaded transparent water, although I think it will be pretty hard to make it work well.

Yay! I hope he does.

This is what clear water would look like.

It looks like it may have been able to work in dungeons, but in the ocean you can't see the bottom.....

The problem is that transparent water looks out of place in a cartoony enviroment, in any animation show you dont see transparent water a lot, and when it does appear transparent is not like the one you can see there or in any other game, its very peculiar, and I think that kind of effect is hard to pull off.

While I'm not totally against this idea I hope they time the release of another cel-shaded Zelda better. The Cube got branded as a kids system pretty quickly once Wind Waker was shown. It's stupid but people did get turned off by the graphics. Ideally when launching the Rev they should try to be as superficial as possible so that insecure people don't get turned off. Release another non-cel-shaded Zelda on the Revolution first to encourage system sales and then release cel-shaded Zelda later when the Rev is established and is in a secure enough position where such a game won't turn away potential buyers.

I figure some people here will say "who cares if superficial are turned off" but the thing is if you're going to get both games anyway what difference does it make to you what order they get released in. It's in everyone's best interest for Nintendo to time the releases in such a way to attract more sales.

I also would have thought that transparent water would look out of place...but the test map screens show us otherwise.

New storyline details (possible rumor)

nickmitch · « **Reply #982 on:** April 23, 2005, 04:40:02 PM »

Sounds like someone just made up some story to go with the trailer from GDC.

Don'tHate742 · « **Reply #983 on:** April 23, 2005, 09:35:52 PM »

Basically....sounded like someone pulled that out of their ass. I wouldn't be surprised, however, if it invovles some of the details mentioned.

As for the see-through water...It would have made the game look sooo ugly. I wouldn't have minded WW including a nice pond to dive in, but the whole ocean transparent...meh...

I never saw a game over in Ocarina of Time, and I was 11 years old going through the game, so it must be ridiculous...

It cerainly is if you did a straight runthrough. But if you took the time to get extra bottles and half-damage and such, meh. Prepubescence is often an advantage in these things.

Link begins the game in Toaru Village, which is not in Hyrule. The village is actually a rural place that sells cattle to the kingdom of Hyrule (Link is a cattle cowboy). Every year, there is a festival where the leaders of all the outlying villages meet in Hyrule. However this year the village chief asks Link to go again. On the way there is an accident and that's how the story starts.

Oh, and chicken gliding is back. And there won't be voice acting or GBA connectivity.

mantidor · « **Reply #986 on:** April 24, 2005, 05:45:09 PM »

damn, now Im going to leave this thread alone, and somehow I have to manage to avoid any specific info on the game, I dont like to know already how the game starts >_<! argh, the wait will be painful, but worth it hopefully.

MrMojoRising · « **Reply #987 on:** April 24, 2005, 10:31:15 PM »

I don't understand why people put so much into not knowing the story ahead of time. You're going to be link and you're going to have to rescue someone...that's always what it is, the real interesting stuff doesn't happen until at least halfway through the game and we won't find that out until the game's released. For instance, when you go under the water in windwaker into hyrule castle...that was amazing, but I don't think knowing that Link is trying to rescue his sister would ruin the excitement at that part of the game.

All I can say is... IT'S ABOUT FRIGGIN TIME!!

I can't wait. I'm going to go out and buy a GameCube again just for this game because I sold my original after seeing Wind Waker and the Cel-awfulness. Finally the glory is back and I can have pride in being a realistic/graphics Zelda fan. Thank the heavens!!!

mantidor · « **Reply #990 on:** April 25, 2005, 06:34:27 AM »

Id be ashamed, not proud for dissing the Wind Waker and thinking Im a real fan of Zelda because I like the new one

See? I cant resist

the good thing about knowing nothing about the game is that it will be surprise after surprise constantly, and Zelda games main great feature is that constant sense of wonder and exploration. Its like maximizing the already big potential for "awesomeness" of the game. But I cant help my curiosity.

a little question, Link is left haded, right? but I just noticed that in the WW he holds the bow with his right hand, I have to check the other games, but it seems that hes not left handed after all, which makes me sad because Im left handed and I founf Link being one too to be really really cool.

Pepsolman should be banned for stupid.

I believe Link is left handed, mantidor, I know at least he holds his sword in his left hand.
What do you mean holds the bow with his right hand? I'm right handed and I hold the bow with my left hand and draw the string with my right hand. I believe Link holds it in his right hand and draws with his left, meaning he would be left handed.

So you sold your Gamecube, just cause Wind Waker came out? ummm couldn't you have just, not like bought the game? or somethin. your pride missed you out on a great game, and you know its some terms the Wind Waker is the most realistic Zelda to date.

I'm going to have to ditto Hostile's remark here...I'm left-handed as well and I hold a bow in my right hand...

Though I don't agree with Pepsolman, I bet there are alot of loney toons out there who feel the same way. With that I hope they are alot like him and will get a new Gamecube just for the game.

Hey look at this cool Master Sword on ebay!

Let the guy have his opinion.

Anyway, yeah, Link is left-handed, but it doesn't really matter that he holds his bow in his right hand. He probably needs the strength of his left hand to pull the string.

Artimus · « **Reply #999 on:** April 25, 2005, 11:27:31 AM »

Link is always said to be ambidextrous like Miyamoto.

But any left handed person holds a bow with their right hand. Just like any right handed person holds it with their left...
