Is this a make fun of mature link thread? That's what thought it was going to be. Or are you decrying the lack of a quality screen of the concept art?

Age does not equal maturity.

LOL WUT?

What I hate is everybody's got some kind of "Zelda Idea" and they all suck.

They're all about making him some kind of psychopath or some kind of pointless brooding anti-hero or a 20's detective or giving him a Mohawk or making him a Karate expert and putting him in a modern city and giving him guns and tattoos and having him be voiced by Eminem.

The worst part is there will be some dickhead who will reply to this very post and say "That be tight/sweet/wicked/da bomb." Probably Animecyberrat.

LOL, oops, I didn't notice that the article was updated with a high quality picture.

So are you then decrying them for posting it even if it was a no picture event? They didn't sign NDAs so I don't really care.

Well D Average then. Or DAVE RAGE or Da Verage. or however you say that.

Another bad thing is that most of these crappy idea come not from the hinterlands of Gamefaqs, but from real video game reporters who know better. Your role is not to usurp the director's chair with your crappy ideas about a steampunk Zelda fighting game. I mean do they do this with any other series or game company? Nobody envisions a Final Fantasy set in Chicago in 1880. Nobody begs for Metal Gear to have a Monkey Spy that shoots lighting from it's ass. Why does Zelda get this crap.

Hell not TWO MINUTES after I typed that, this post appears on GAF:

Open with a close-up of Link taking a drag from a cigarette. The camera zooms out to show Link tossing the cigarette away. Then the camera moves behind Link, showing the skyscrapers of Neo Hyrule. Then we hear Link, in the voice of Max Payne, "No one beats the city. We get a few draws, a few good dreams in a lifetime of nightmares, but the city always has one hand better. The drugs, the sex, the murder... it's a losing battle, and we're only along for the ride. Last night a man raped his daughter. She'll never tell anyone about it. It's a sick world, and this city's the virus. The whores walking the streets, the single mothers, the tycoons in their penthouses, they're all just cogs in the machine. But I'm no cog. I have the Triforce of Courage, and tonight I hold a winning hand.

What the hell is wrong with these people?

The day Link smokes cigarettes is the day that the first Zelda game I don't buy is released.

Frank Miller's Zelda?

This is both funny and sad.

wow.

Zelda cops it because the game features the same characters in each game but next to no relation in plot. Despite this the world in almost identical and the themes the same. So Zelda has the capacity to be a Western or a World War 2 love story.

giving him a Mohawk

You had me at mohawk.

But seriously, at what point do you play the "reboot card" and go in a new direction? Sure, Wind Waker hinted at that - and got bagged because of it but I think its about time to try something new.

Uh-oh, serious territory. Time for Funhouse derailment.

Oh yeah, don't ask me about Toilet Princess. I think I got a glitched PAL disc because I left Link in some dungeon because we couldn't be bothered finishing some puzzle. It was totally mutual though. I never finished the game, but it smacked of the whole same story (aside from defending that carridge mission, that was pretty rad). Sure, some people get off on riding horses around the countryside for 20 hours, and power to them for that.

But to the rest of us, something's gotta change. And not something trivial...

Oh sure, change is essential. But nothing shouted out on a games forum or posited by a pimply neck-bearded games journalism editor who just read 30 .docs of FFVII fanfiction with "illustrations."

If anything I just want a little equality. Like have 20 or so Mario fans in every FPS's demonstration asking where all the magic mushrooms are and getting all self-righteous when ignored. Because that's slightly less retarded that having Zelda "Ideas" coming from games journos that bear an uncanny resemblance to the hot new action movie that their sister site just blasted advertisements for.

I want a zelda where as soon as you walk out of the house it resets and saves your game.

Legend of Zelda: King of Reset.

It's fan fiction. If you want to judge other's pastimes go ahead and make yourself a fool, but do you really think so low of Nintendo will act based upon on what its fanbase (including videogame "journalists") wants?

We did get TP.

It was mirrored.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #22 on:** June 05, 2009, 01:38:34 PM »

And fanfic rehash.

Caliban · « **Reply #23 on:** June 05, 2009, 01:43:26 PM »

Not really. The only element the fanboys wanted back is that it didn't look like Wind Waker, and adult Link. Everything else that was in the game you can't say it was never in any other Zelda game.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #24 on:** June 05, 2009, 01:48:07 PM »

So it was rehash.
