You gotta know someone like that though who uses it. You can't just run around saying it if your as pale as I am.

Not to get of topic, but either a word is racist or it isn't. I hate when I hear a black person say it's OK for them to use it but not anyone else. You can't can't have a word be OK for some people to use and not others.

Stratos · « **Reply #52 on:** June 03, 2009, 12:32:22 AM »

Like BnM said, a lot of people use it now in a non-racist way so it is becoming more acceptable to use. JUST LIKE (returning to topic) Celda is now considered an acceptable term for the cel shaded Zelda games.

SPEAKING of Zelda, I am curious to see what they do for the multiplayer since it was revealed that it will support up to 4 players in game.

Train Wars?

I personally loved the multiplayer in the last DS Zelda and would love to see that expanded. Two people vying for triforce shards and two hunting down players would be really neat.

sure we can. we had to take ownership of the word.
Other people in the past have proven to use the word as a negative label, and black people took the word and redefined it among themselves.
I personally don't use it (it may slip out on a rare occasion or two) and my friends know not to use the word (around me) either.
Not that it really bothers me, but they do it out of respect, since I don't even use the word myself.

It has become more of a mainstream hip hop greeting or term, but that doesn't mean that just anybody can use it, and definitely not anytime they feel like it. If the wrong person says that at the wrong time infront of the wrong people, they might have just started an incident, whether they meant it negatively or not.

but anyway.... Did you guys hear about Mature Link... yadda yadda yadda... insert joke about having a beard here.

Link in Twilight Princess seemed pretty mature to me, not sure what else they really need to do.

Stratos · « **Reply #55 on:** June 03, 2009, 12:39:01 AM »

Has anyone leaked the picture yet? You know someone got a shot of it on a phone or something.

IGN said more grown up, not more mature. Implying older. He's still pretty young in TP.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #57 on:** June 03, 2009, 12:48:20 AM »

Yeah, I think Link has never been older than his late teens in Zelda games.

Stratos · « **Reply #58 on:** June 03, 2009, 12:49:57 AM »

Yeah, Link in TP was not Mature to me. Probably because he didn't speak. And that ridiculous getup before you got your proper outfit. I hated that. Was it just pieces of cloth held together with a belt? I also felt it was a bit anticlimactic how he got his real tunic. After having your dear old Grandma hand sew you one it felt wrong to just 'magically' have one appear on you.

Also, his oldest recorded age in a game has been 17 in Zelda 2 on NES. I think that is still technically the latest game in the cannon outside of the Wind Waker/Celda games.

So I guess we're going to see a twenty-something Link who's fresh out of college and just secured a mundane office job?

Well with all the lady friends he seems to attract on his travels he was bound to hook up with one at some point, right? The question is, who? I guess Marin.

mantidor · « **Reply #63 on:** June 03, 2009, 01:02:08 AM »

An actual adult Link? now I'm interested.

Still, I'm surprised the development is apparently so far behind, it's been 3 years already.

NovaQ · « **Reply #64 on:** June 03, 2009, 01:05:36 AM »

I guess they had to wait for Link to get a little older.

Adrock · « **Reply #65 on:** June 03, 2009, 01:06:50 AM »

That's assuming development is behind. They could just be holding onto the game. If the game uses Motion Plus and the peripheral gets off to a rough start, Zelda will basically validate its existence because we all know fans would buy anything for the next big Zelda.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #66 on:** June 03, 2009, 01:07:08 AM »

I bet its further along than you think, they just didn't want everyone getting over-hyped and over-looking Zelda: Spirit Tracks.

Agreed

Marin > Malon

Even though Marin turns into a stupid bird at the end..... She wanted Link's babies so bad.

Except the number of Zelda fans that would buy Motion+ just for this game aren't many compared to all of the customers I'm sure Miyamoto and Nintendo hope to reach with this game. During a roundtable discussion earlier tonight, Miyamoto said that the game may be Motion+ exclusive if the accessory is really successful. The developers may be kind of stuck right now trying to decide if they should go M+ exclusive or design the game to be used without it. That would slow progress, I imagine.

Adrock · « **Reply #70 on:** June 03, 2009, 01:19:26 AM »

I don't think that would stop them. If Motion Plus makes the game better, it'll use the peripheral. Case in point, Twilight Princess. The game didn't need to use the Wii remote, but it certainly added something to the game and Nintendo wouldn't have bothered if they didn't think it would work.

Smoke39 · « **Reply #71 on:** June 03, 2009, 01:22:02 AM »

TP's Wii controls were tacked on and awful. Bad example.

I don't think it would stop them, either. I wonder, though, if it would slow development time and/or make the game feel like it's "stuck" in between the two control sensitivities (M+ and regular Wiimote). Call me crazy, but I feel like TP suffered the same effects because of its eventual dual development.

Right, what he said. Kinda.

Stratos · « **Reply #73 on:** June 03, 2009, 01:24:42 AM »

New idea: This Zelda is the new Majora's Mask. Majora required the expansion pak. If the new Zelda requires M+ it may help bring more people on board the M+Express.

NovaQ · « **Reply #74 on:** June 03, 2009, 01:28:15 AM »

Hey, the more parallels with MM, the better, I say.

You know, as long as it's still its own game.
