That pic reminds me of that Windwaker commercial with that girl in the tower.

Wait, HUH? That's incorrect...I've watched the roundtable, and Bill Trinen says "a few decades after OCARINA OF TIME"

Waitaminute. If it's a few decades after Wind Waker (Or Ocarina of Time) wouldn't that mean that the original Link is still alive? So that would mean that there'd be two Links alive at once.

Unless of course Link somehow died 17 years before and was reincarnated immediately at such a young age...

Something tells me that that timeline wouldn't make sense. :/

Few decades could mean 30 to 40 years.

Besides, in MM I don't think that Link gets to go home to Hyrule after his little adventure in Termina, and since Twilight appears to be a different "place" than Termina, then I think that effectively takes the Hero of Time out of the picture.

Or he died of a brain aneurism.

And if it takes place after WW...well, then I just don't know.

stevey · « **Reply #1304 on:** May 18, 2005, 02:31:14 PM »

how do know the name of the girl that riding link isn't that the twilight princess?

Kokoro · « **Reply #1305 on:** May 18, 2005, 03:44:56 PM »

I am pretty sure Zelda is the twiligt princess, the cloak she wears represses the twilight world's effect. Midna is supposed to be evil but is helping link against a greater evil kind of like Majora's Mask

Gamefreak · « **Reply #1306 on:** May 18, 2005, 06:02:37 PM »

Gamespy is wrong, it's between Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.
Also, Bill said a "few decades" after OoT but you shouldn't take that so literally. Miyamoto said Wind Waker was about a hundred years after OoT off hand and in the final game we found out it was really centuries after.

Since there are centuries between OoT/MM and WW, Twilight Princess will fall somewhere in the middle. By a "few decades" he could actually mean a hundred years or so... Besides, Nintendo never cares much about the whole timeline thing anyway and just throws around vague comments on the subject which the Zelda fanboys quickly analyze beyond belief. I mean, I can't help but crack up when I see entire forums produce pages of long, drawn-out arguments over one or two little lines Miyamoto happened to toss out without thinking about them much.

Anyway... GameSpot has two detailed previews up (one on the roundtable, one hands-on) as well as videos of the roundtable...
And if you have GameSpot Complete you can download the entire trailer in HD resolution. The file runs at a bitrate of over 3 MB per second and it's incredible watching it in fullscreen. I wasn't impressed with Zelda's graphics too much before but seeing that trailer in HD really shows you the richness of the colors and the amazing lighting (especially the horse battle and the joust clip right at the end with the sunset). This game is going to look amazing when it ships, especially on a nice TV.

Heh... I love how excited that girl gets when she's asking you to "thrust".

Haha, someone else noticed it...

I didn't expect to see the innuendo so early on...

RazorX · « **Reply #1310 on:** May 18, 2005, 09:13:29 PM »

Is it at all possible....maybe....or am i hoping too much... that after OOT link did not go back to the forest and instead made residence at this new village....and this is indead the same link? I would love nothing more than for Nintendo to bring some continuity to this series...nothing more.....

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #1311 on:** May 19, 2005, 03:20:34 AM »

No, it's been confirmed that this is indeed a new Link...

Kaplan says ZERUDA: EVENING GIRLIE will be released this year, worldwide.

where!? is the Kaplan interview already up?

No transcript, just interpretations of excerpts. See IGNCuub news updates (right-hand side).

IceCold · « **Reply #1316 on:** May 20, 2005, 10:31:14 AM »

Yea - that's great news - a Japan/North American/Eurpoean simultaneous release is what everyone was hoping for.

There's an Iwata and Shiggy interview on IGNCuub too - they don't say anything that they believe is an integral part of the "game system" or the storyline, but there are some nice tidbits, including you might be able to fly, no time travel, stuff about Midna etc

Previews I have read have said no blood, and I expect it to stay that way. It'll be a T game. As it should be.

mantidor · « **Reply #1319 on:** May 20, 2005, 03:10:43 PM »

so Im the only one who think that the new ESRB +10 rating was made specifically for this game?

Artimus · « **Reply #1320 on:** May 20, 2005, 03:13:28 PM »

This game will be Teen.

Nope...Looking at the material thus-far, the game could still be considered for an E-10...

jasonditz · « **Reply #1322 on:** May 20, 2005, 05:08:02 PM »

That's only because they haven't showed Link contracting Gonorrhea after a hot Kokiri three-way

nickmitch · « **Reply #1323 on:** May 20, 2005, 06:53:51 PM »

Yeah, but that's beacuse no one would EVER want to see that.

mantidor · « **Reply #1324 on:** May 20, 2005, 07:59:50 PM »

I concur, I have enough "scars" about certain someone saying something about Kaplan and Reggie to have to read THAT >_<!!!!

so.. uhm, wasnt it great how Aunoma introduced the trailer's DS cartridge singing the "got item" fanfare? he did the same in the gamespot interview when he gave away two of the cartridges signed by him, I really would love to have one of those.
