I guess we can't win.....Phantom Hourglass sounds like a Star Wars flick, and the Wind Waker sounds like a Mentos ad......what can you do, eh?

Wow... that video's impressive, the DS continues to surprise me with just how powerful it can be.

bah you people suck ,phantom hourglass sounds great, the wind waker sounds great, the only title of a Zelda game I dont like is Twilight Princess, now thats awful

.

UltimatePartyBear · « **Reply #28 on:** March 23, 2006, 11:08:03 AM »

But Phantom Hourglass doesn't start with DS. Maybe they could go with Demon Sand-in-a-glass.

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #29 on:** March 23, 2006, 11:29:54 AM »

Looks incredible. DS needs more more MORE cel shading.

ThePerm · « **Reply #30 on:** March 23, 2006, 12:10:57 PM »

so the q is will this connect to twilight princess on revolution?

also will it have multiplayer.....4 swords style?

Wind Waker is a great name >=O Phantom Hourglass, though, is lame.

After watching the video though, I'm pretty excited in the pants, no terrible name can ruin this.

Ian Sane · « **Reply #32 on:** March 23, 2006, 12:31:27 PM »

I don't see how anyone can have a problem with this title. How is it any different than Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask? Those just describe some magical artifact and I figure Phantom Hourglass is the same thing. Everyone with a brain knows what an hourglass is and one would assume that in this case it has some ghostly relation.

Wind Waker is a dumb name because "Waker" is not a word. It sounds like something someone with a very weak grasp of the English language would come up with, which is fitting since that's probably exactly what happened.

Wind Waker am a gooder name comparing towards Phantom Hourglass. I talk well English!

I just think it sounds stupid okay OKAY.

I thought the same thing about Twilight Princess at first too, but now I like it.

OKAY. I think it's because it doesn't, uhh, fit. When I hear Majora's Mask, I think of dark and twisted, like the game. When I hear Twilight Princess I think dark and eerie, which it is. When I hear Wind Waker, I think bright and peaceful. Same with Minish Cap. They all fit. But when I hear Phantom Hourglass I'm thinking more along the lines of dark and creepy, I think of Hyrule at night with creepy purple glowing poes and stuff. But the game is bright like Wind Waker. I don't think cel-shading can give me what I expect out of a title like Phantom Hourglass.

Of course, I greater prefer the cel-shading, so whatever.

I like the name and I love how it's cel-shaded!

Ian Sane · « **Reply #37 on:** March 23, 2006, 01:20:08 PM »

I'll give credit to PartyBear for finding "waker" in a dictionary. I just used the spellcheck in Outlook to determine if it was a word or not. The spellcheck failed so I assumed it wasn't.

Phantom Hourglass is actually the first Zelda name since the Oracle games that I like. I don't even care for "Twilight Princess". It would be nice to have a new Zelda name that didn't just consist of two unrelated nouns jammed together.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #38 on:** March 23, 2006, 01:49:24 PM »

I've liked all the Zelda titles, so I guess I'm in the minority.
If I had to pick one I liked least, it'd be Minish Cap. It sounds kinda silly. But I like it, and it describes the central artifact in the story.

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #39 on:** March 23, 2006, 02:45:24 PM »

Is it just me or does the steamboat portion look like you tell the boat where to move then just control its cannon?

Or maybe the line drawn on the map is just for general guidance.

Svevan · « **Reply #40 on:** March 23, 2006, 03:05:50 PM »

No, Paladin, you are exactly correct. It does not seem you get to control the boat, at least in the portion of the game we're seeing here. I like how the map moves between the top and bottom screens. And best of all, you control the boomerang with the stylus. NICE.

Edit: It also seems that drawing on the map is for your own reference. That is, you can draw whatever the flip you want. It's probably necessary for solving certain puzzles, or remembering important info.

Edit: Yeah, that's a two screen boss fight at the end. Sweet.

I like it how when waaaaaaaaaaaay back we were talking about Zelda DS that it was a minority of us wanting 3-D zelda and everyone else was like " OH NOES NOT OUR PRECIOUS HANDHELD ZELDA THEY CANT DO IT TO US WE WANT OUT 2-Dness ZELDA WILL BE RUINED :: WAILS :: " Yet, now all of you are like "Awesome~!" Is this because you are just dealing with what Nintendo dealt you or are you people telling me now that you actually ARE for 3-D reitterations of Nintendo Classic IP's on the Ds?

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #42 on:** March 23, 2006, 03:27:49 PM »

I think it's because this game is awesome and shut up.

Actually, it's because from what we've seen, this game has what are essentially 2D dungeons. Then it's got 3D other stuff. Best of btoh worlds, plus hawt graffx.

Ian Sane · « **Reply #43 on:** March 23, 2006, 03:40:57 PM »

"Yet, now all of you are like 'Awesome~!' Is this because you are just dealing with what Nintendo dealt you or are you people telling me now that you actually ARE for 3-D reitterations of Nintendo Classic IP's on the Ds?"

I'm excited about this game because I think it looks awesome. I would like 2D Zeldas with sprites to continue but that doesn't mean I'm not interested in this.

Louieturkey · « **Reply #44 on:** March 23, 2006, 03:53:52 PM »

2D Zelda is for Capcom to make.

animecyberrat · « **Reply #45 on:** March 23, 2006, 03:59:38 PM »

damn! That looks awesome, I hope it is more fun than Wind Waker was. Now I have got to get my DS fixed asap.

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #46 on:** March 23, 2006, 04:05:36 PM »

darkheart, the gameplay is in 2d and that's all that matters.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #47 on:** March 23, 2006, 04:31:39 PM »

It looks absolutely incredible. I'm guesing it will be the highest rated DS game ever, and remain that way forever.

The game will be delayed in fall 2006.

Fixed

On a serious note, could this be the direct sequel that was expected back at GDC 2k4? Interesting... Nintendo moves the project to the DS, and gives the majority what they wanted on the Cube/Revolution: A more life-like, expansive Zelda. I doubt any one will bitch about the shading this time, since the DS can handle it with out a doubt.

Phantom Hourglass? Makes grammatical sense. They couldn't keep using musical intstruments in the subtitles forever...

No, that honour will go to New Super Mario Bros
