Looking forward to the impressions..

New "Experience" videos are up on the Wii site showing people playing Zelda, specifically sword and bow-and-arrow parts.

9 hours was only a tease? Oh my god, this game is going to be amazing.

Windy, does it out-OOT OOT? Does the word revolutionary pop into your head at any point?

I will tell you forum-dwellers no more. Much like Nintendo is teased me with the first 9 hours of the game, I will tease you by telling you to look forward to Friday evening where I can start posting the good stuff on the site.

Oh, I will say this: Zelda on Wii is the real deal.

What time on Friday can we expect your (and the rest of the internet's) impressions of this game? Or to be more specific, when exactly does Nazi Nintendo lift their embargoes?

Ugh, on second thought, Friday-ton may make the next two and a half weeks even harder... maybe I'll avoid this...

Is this going to be like the Uber Podcast and were not getting it till the day after?

I told myself this morning I wasn't going to watch the intro video, but I caved. Screw being spoiled, I need more Zelda.

Both videos were awesome. The intro gave me a feeling of both excitement and nostalgia, which was awesome. OoT was the game that affected me most as a child, and this intro gave me the same feeling I had back then, which I hadn't experienced in a long time. Probably since OoT

Wind Waker was a fantastic game, but it never really made me feel "that way." The ending of the intro especially, when that note is held, gave me a chill.

I see no reason why this isn't going to be the best game ever.

You guys make me feel old sometimes.

it's possible the a+b has to do with the sleep mode. maybe after waking up, this trailer is played first, and you jump back to the game with a+b, or if you just press a (or any other button) go to a menu where you can resume or start a new game.

Ceric · « **Reply #159 on:** November 02, 2006, 09:29:35 AM »

That make sense so you can't exactly bump the controller and come in.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #160 on:** November 02, 2006, 09:31:41 AM »

A+B is the new start. Seriously, I think a few games do it.

Also, OoT released in 1998. TP releases in 2006. That means that I'll be 24 when the next most awesomest Zelda comes out. The best [three dimensional] Zeldas come in eight year intervals. CONFIRMED.

Nice 'Wii-working' [snort] of the trailer. I think that will convert any holdouts to the new twilight realm look. The boat bit looked the business.

No, it was ripped from OoT not Shadow of the Colossus.

Yeah, I suppose both are indebted to what was established with OoT. But it's clear that TP's intro is much closer to SotC than OoT. I don't think it's unreasonable to think that the Zelda developers haven't derived some visual design from SotC. In particular riding across the bridge and along the cliffs, as well as the tone of the music. Still, maybe that's simply the natural evolution of Zelda to a greater scale and more serious mood. It rawks fer shur, tho.

"The best Zeldas come in eight year intervals. CONFIRMED."

This is only true if Link's Awakening came out in 1990. And I'm 96% certain that it did not.

Each Zelda game affects me in a different way. Well, that's not exactly right. They all affect me in the same way, with different variations. There's a similar strand between all of them, that same spectacular feeling that comes over me, but it varies slightly between the games (probably due to the differences in the games and the differences in my life at the times I played them). I consider the sensation of Wind Waker and OoT on par, pretty much, but I don't think anything in Wind Waker gives me QUITE the feeling that watching the opening to OoT does. It's just this feeling of everything being right in the world.
This intro is very much like that. It doesn't have quite the magic, but Wind Waker didn't have the magic until I'd played it. Until I'd experienced it and looked back and it was just like the rest.
Can't wait to start up this intro, once I've played the game, and then reflect upon what an incredible game it is.

(In regards to the trailer, I'm pretty sure the plot of TP has changed about seven times since the first trailer)

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #163 on:** November 02, 2006, 11:55:42 AM »

Link's awakening serves as an exception because it's just so awesome. Actually, I shall ammend my previous comment to include the words "three dimensional," since 2D and 3D Zelda's are entirely different beasts.

But TP will be better than LA and OoT. FACT.

The intro is pretty bland actually, it doesn't have that same magic UNTIL the end. That's just the coolest scene ever.

Luckily Zelda: TP will have tons more depth than the relitively shallow SotC :-P.

I don't care if TP does manage to top LA in my book...I will still deny it and put TP at #2 on my Fav Games Ever list! >=O

ok I don't know why I popped into this thread, but you all people are wrong, and sorry to tell you the truth, but Majora's Mask intro is a million times better than this one, and that is indeed a real fact!

I love this intro, but why is the world so barren? its my only complain

Caliban · « **Reply #170 on:** November 02, 2006, 06:11:28 PM »

I too asked that same question to myself, Mantidor, however it is best to leave it without an answer because we could be judging that out of context and without having any playing experience of this game we are going nowhere.

I have a feeling they used the almost lifeless scenary to portray how epic and huge the game is. My guess is that it is out of context or a particular area.

IceCold · « **Reply #173 on:** November 02, 2006, 06:41:06 PM »

It's just an intro.. I'm sure the real world will be a lot busier

This needed to be posted because I forgot to when I first found it...
