Zelda DS Revealed
« on: March 23, 2006, 08:38:23 AM »
Breaking news from Iwata's GDC keynote!

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is the name of the first Zelda title for Nintendo DS, which features cel-shaded graphics like those in Wind Waker.  The game may in fact be a sequel to Wind Waker, as Michael Cole reports that the video footage showed a steam boat similar to the King of Red Lions.  He also noted that the game looks just like a portable version of Wind Waker, i.e. it is fully 3D, using a miture of top-down and more dynamic camera angles.  The touch screen is used to solve puzzles.  Iwata confirmed that Eiji Aonuma's development team is working on the game.  Aonuma has directed Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess.  The game is due in fall 2006.

This is very cool, I am glad to see another cel-shaded one too.  However if they are going to go for cel shaded, I hope they choose the cell shaded link style from minish cap.

"Wow, I wasn't aware the DS could pull off decent Cel-Shading."

If I'm not mistaken, it's specifically designed to do it well.

This is incredible news.  A (mostly) 2D cel-shaded Zelda = man juices staining my pantalones.  I am so thrilled about this.  Two Zelda games out at once, holy crap.

Is Nintendo developing Zelda PH in house or is it a third party effort like Minish Cap?

It's being developed internally I believe, seeing that Anouma and his team are working on that project.

Better than Wind Waker.  At least "Phantom" and "Hourglass" are words.

What a great video...

I am so hyped for this Zelda now. The touchscreen elements look interesting, indeed.

Ok.  This game looks amazing.  Great Graphic design.  (Which proves Wind Waker Graphics were awesome.)

Gameplay looks fresh and inventive.  (Actually new mechanics to master within the game.)

Potentially the game that continues the story from Wind Waker and possibly links it to Twillight Princess?  

I dunno but I am excited about this game.

Weeeeeell, Twilight Princess is a prequel to Wind Waker, so I doubt it'll link to it...I DO really want to see Wind Waker Link's story played out more, so I'm excited about that...

It would totally rock if this was a sequel to Wind Waker.  

Hopefully Tetra will make a comeback too.
