WHAT

Why would you do that?

"what? O_o I finished OoT the first time without Epona... "

So did I.

"Before you could even access the area though you needed Epona and before that her song...."

No you can hookshot over there but Epona jumping over was soooooooo much cooler.

I predict Nintendo will launch the game a few months prior to Revolution but possibly use it as a hook to sell Revs as well. I think launching it at the same time as Revolution could kill sales. I know I'll likely skip over it if that happens, unless Revolution's launch lineup is pretty weak.

I hope Nintendo doesn't get the idea that it can use this game to replace true Revolution launch games. I'm sure it could appeal to a lot of people, but overall I don't think people will feel confident about buying a brand-new system for a game that they could play on a $25 used GameCube.

Yeah, but they could always re-release a Revolution version with improved graphics or some new feature that the GameCube version doesn't support. Regardless, games like Final Fantasy IX was one of the best selling games when the PS2 came around, and it saw a boost in sales that week.

Either way, the game looks better -- and it already looked great.

I sincerely hope that all those people in the marketplace have as much personality as any other Zelda NPC. I don't want to replace quantity with quality. However, if they do. . . awesome.
Otherwise, looks nice. The coral reef particularly.

Error probably had the most personality out of any NPC in any game ever.

That "I'm sorry, I know nothing" girl is a close second.

I had no idea I could get Epona out of Lon Lon Ranch, imagine my surprise when I found out...

Im actually pretty excited now about the new screenshoots like the marketplace, even with the guy who goes through the tent and the overall "browness" for lack of a better word. This is the Zelda team, if you've noticed in OoT the marketplace was like 5 NPC and several clones of the people buying things, you couldnt even look at their faces in the entire game, and still it was the most lively marketplace from that time, because Zelda games always have the ability to capture a mood extremely well, even if "technically" the graphics or polygon models dont acomplish that, the complete package is of unmatched quality.

On the crowded marketplace: I'm sure Nintendo will take care of it, even the NPCs in Super Mario Sunshine had quite a bit to say.

Marketplaces, shmarketplaces. I want my dungeons! WW was short in that department. Comparitively. If I want to walk around and talk to people I'll play Animal Crossing and talk to Tom whom I've made say "DOOKIE!" at the end of every sentence.

...I just thought of something that would be kind of cool for horse combat...what if instead of just pressing the b button to slash, you could use the C-stick to sort of do whacked-out combos and stuff? Kind of like how NBA Street V3 uses the C-stick...as in rotating the C-stick in a circle would rotate the sword in a circle...and you could learn new combos and stuff...

tp has combos and so did ww stick up + b = up to down slash, stick in circle = spin and tp will have more combos.

Damn, bill's right...but you must admit, it's a cool idea...

I've said this too many times, but the game could be programmed to allow you to control such weapons as the sword abstractly using the gyro in the REV controller. They could do it, but they are more likely to add the Four sword in as an unlockable by playing the game on REV than to create an alternative style of control that can only be done with a REV controller; essentially saying the GameCube is useless now.

Only three words could explain my feelings for this game.

"OMG I WANT!"

Seriously. Looks promising to say the least. As much as I liked The Wind Waker (and while I'm at it, I may as well state it's my favorite of the Zelda games), I've been itching for another 'dark' Zelda game like Ocarina of Time. From the various video clips and screen shots, it seems like this game will provide just that.

Ocarina was quite bright and colorful compared to Majora's Mask.

ThePerm · « **Reply #1567 on:** August 24, 2005, 11:29:04 AM »

when he means dark...when link kills something...he has a cold uncaring expression...and doesnt dance around like a fairy boy....dark.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #1568 on:** August 24, 2005, 01:00:25 PM »

Oh, you mean boring Link. I get it.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #1569 on:** August 24, 2005, 01:05:35 PM »

Wind Waker was a lot darker than people seem to give credit to...Just because a game is in a cute graphic style doesn't mean the story is cutesy as well...

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #1570 on:** August 24, 2005, 02:01:33 PM »

Link should be alive and expressive in combat (best example is WW). In TP, he still is (we just don't see it so clearly with his new-old-found small skull) -- and i think is not the aspect that qualifies it as dark. Considering the controls schemes haven't drastically changed in all the 3D series games, I don't see how he can dance around, -OR-, he's alway's been dancing around, and he'll always be the fairy boy.

Travelling the corners of the world and directly acquiring the essence of the fallen in the form of a mask, is dark.

"Ocarina was quite bright and colorful compared to Majora's Mask. "

but there was no...

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #1572 on:** August 24, 2005, 03:28:22 PM »

Did he just say something? No? That's what I thought.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #1573 on:** August 24, 2005, 03:30:29 PM »

He left mid-sentence to go get a sandwich! =O

TMW · « **Reply #1574 on:** August 24, 2005, 04:30:50 PM »

I hope he comes back.
I kinda want to know what he was talking about.
