Okay, so it has been announced. Now comes the disection of the interview and ideas of the story.

Aonuma states that it will be a sequel to wind waker, much like majoras mask was to ocarina. This should go for both a continuation of the graphical style, and the story. This means the game will likely take place on Link and Tetras "new land". ( Just something that gets me mad, it will be tetra throughout the game instead of Zelda because she doesn't have the triforce anymore, that sucks ).
He says the playing field hasn't been decided on yet, but he must have a rough outline of the story and whether it takes place on land or in the sea.
---My guess is this: Stuff will start happening in the new kingdom. Link will start having dreams of Hyrule, and of its king sunk on the ocean floor. Ganon will rise (somehow) and come search for the triforce yet again. The king will return to aid Link and tell him where the triforce has been hidden.

The core of the plot still eludes me, but I bet this is the beginning. In one year it should be playable, meaning in 5-7 months, maybe even earlier at spaceworld, we should see screenshots and more storyline bits. I am already excited about this new chapter in the series, It will be great!

Ummm why the hell did you state this topic as Wind Waker 2 ? That makes no sense what-so-ever. Calling the next game Wind Waker 2 is like calling Majora's Mask Ocarina of Time 2.

did you ever once think of the people who havent beat WW yet? thanks for spoiling everything...
just kidding, you didn't spoil everything, but wold you mind marking spoilers next time?

SPOILERS
I doubt anything Ganon related will happen. The ending implies that Hyrule and Ganon are gone forever.
END SPOILERS

Beyond that, I don't know. I'll see what happens. And BoB007, don't be so harsh. There's nothing better to call it yet, so for now, WW2 is perfectly acceptable.

BoB007 · « **Reply #4 on:** May 27, 2003, 09:22:43 AM »

Too harsh? I dont think so. If you want to see me harsh, then wake me up at 6 in the morning. THEN you'll see how harsh i can be.

Well Ganon maybe gone but I know the Big N is gonna put a good story, maybe the new land that they are loking for is haunted or needs to be cleaned and Link puts a water pack in his back ( just kidding). Whatever it may be you all know that Zelda will deliver just like this one.

Though I must admit the Windwaker was a fairly decent game, I can't help but think that any sequel Zelda game for the Gamecube just won't be that great. For one, OoT was awesome, and well... Majora's Mask was sorta okay, but not the best by far.

Then the fact that Oot and MM really had nothing to do with one another, as I think will be the same for these two Gamecube Zeldas. Plus Gannon and Hyrule are GONE, get over it. I'm sorry but without Hyrule Zelda just isn't Zelda, and Gannon is what makes Zelda also. (Except maybe the first GB Zelda which was awesome). I'm not trying to be negative or anything, I just don't think the next Gamecube Zelda will be any good.

Of course in the next gen NES system things could be different... rumors already state that the REAL Link might be coming back, though I'm not positive how anything like that would work. Maybe Link would return from traveling through time and find himself in a joint quest with the Windwaker. (Windwaker is a title for the new Link, and Hero of Time refers to how the old link mastered time.)

Who knows how things will work out but I will probably not be as satisfyied with a sequel to Windwaker as I was to the original. I still prefer Oot's plot and the old Link. Link to the Past rocks, and Zelda I will always be the best.

The ending of Wind Waker is very *spoilers*open*spoilers* and gives a lot of opportunities for a sequel, and different "set-ups".

Maybe Link's sea travel will take him to the land of the Gerudos. Or some mysterious Island. Doesn't need to be in Hyrule. You don't need Zelda or Ganon to get a great Zelda game : Link's Awakening is in my opinion the best of the series. You mesure the quality of a Zelda by the dungeon design, the puzzles, the gameplay. The plot is secondary.

Just makeup a new Hyrule and be happy. It's much more simple than what Konami tries to do by sticking new Castlevania games in obscure places in the timeline. Dracular was prematurely ressurrected at least, what, 4 times? They're almost at the point of having 2 games for every century Vlad Dracula Tepes was alive and undead. They used Bloodlines on Genesis to directly follow up Bram Stoker's storyline, yet they haven't used the 1950s yet. Maybe Drac didn't like the Cold War era, so he's sleeping until 2050.

I seem to remember a certain ending from another Zelda game which implied the exact same thing.

Quote
And the Master Sword Rests... FOREVER.

And whereas WW takes place after LTTP, I think, and they did bring Gannon back, it's possible that they will bring him back again.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #10 on:** May 28, 2003, 06:03:47 PM »

Let's see if Ganon comes back as many times as Dracula has.

I don't think that they should use the same game engine as The Wind Waker. If you think about it Majora's Mask used the same game engine as OOT and they only spent about a year developing it so it wasn't that great. They plan on doing the same thing for the Wind Waker sequal (if it is even a sequal). I think they should develope a whole new system and take their time on it so they can release it on the next-gen Nintendo console right when the console comes out. The game would probably be a lot better and they the graphic style would have a much better chance of going back to the real link that way. Having a zelda game at release would also boost the sales of their next console.

Backup a bit. A year. Because they used the same engine, THEY ONLY NEEDED A YEAR TO COMPLETE IT. NOT 4 FRIGGIN' YEARS. That alone is worth appreciating. For a game that only took a year to make, it was pretty fukking great.

Why not ? we'll get a good game quicker that way, and it means lower developping costs on a game that will sell a lot for Nintendo : everyone is happy

thepoga · « **Reply #14 on:** May 29, 2003, 01:11:02 PM »

does he even know why they use different game engines in games? the game engine is perfect for it as is. whats wrong with the engine right now? u could make a totally different game with the same engine. i think he means that they should make new game elements maybe or something. i dunno.he kinda not right in the head. just kidding dude. okie dokie. goodbye!

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #15 on:** May 29, 2003, 02:27:40 PM »

You don't need Zelda, Ganon, or Hyrule to make a good Zelda game. My two favorites lacked one to three of these: Link's Awakening doesn't have any of them and Wind Waker has very little of Hyrule and only a dash of Zelda. I'm just going to wait, and I probably won't be disappointed.

All I have to say is... "Hyrule has got to come back someday"

Take it how you will.

Sure, it'll come back. Exclusively on my floating, wireless Nintendo Tetrahedron.

Hyrule will come back. I'm guessing very few actually understood the ending.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #19 on:** June 01, 2003, 07:51:09 AM »

I don't think the ending was supposed to be hard to understand. Your years of playing Zelda has brainwashed you.

Yes, Hyrule may very well come back, but if so, I think it will be a game that occurs before Wind Waker. It was very clear that they wanted to try something new with the world.

As for "The Master Sword rests forever". . . they may have thought that was the last Zelda game at the time. The Zelda timeline runs on the whim of its creaters, not one puny line they thought would sound cool at the end of one of the stories. Lttp was Zelda still in its early stages, they weren't sure which way it would go. Now the series is well developed, and they probably know what they're going to do with it. Hyrule may come back, but only as a memory, I think.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #20 on:** June 01, 2003, 09:39:06 AM »

spoilers...as always

Though I wish for Hyrule to come back for the next game, I have a strong feeling that this next Zelda game will occur just after WW. The boat will probably be gone, as it seemed to be a one-time deal. Link and Tetra/Zelda will probably go to some distant land as implied at the end of the game. Also, because Ganon will not return until Hyrule does, a new villain will emerge.

/speculation

Perhaps. Or perhaps the land Link and Tetra find will be the new Hyrule. And they are guaranteed to find it.

Rymir · « **Reply #22 on:** June 01, 2003, 04:26:48 PM »

The New Hyrule after Windwaker will probably not come to exist until after Deku Tree's wish comes true, for trees to help a new continent emerge. Also the new Hyrule might possibly be the Hyrule that all old Zelda fans are used to, the original LoZ and LttP Hyrule.

In another post (the post about the end of Windwaker) I go more into details about this, but my guess is the future Zeldas with the current Link will be a bridge between the three different Hyrules, the OoT Hyrule, the Hyrule Islands in Windwaker, and the LttP/LoZ Hyrule, of course no one knows for sure.

Great. Another damn Cel-shaded Zelda. And people wonder why Nintendo will never get rid of its kiddie image.

And I wonder why there are so many graphics whores in the market. All these spoiled casual gamers with their fancy smooth 3D characters and "kill the prostitute" gameplay. I yearn for the old days where everyone drooled over Super Mario Brothers and the thing that made it fun...gameplay
