Yeah, that is the symbol of the Sheikah...

But it's also the shape of the Lens of Truth. Doesn't that guy look like he could have something to do with the undead in this game?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #1051 on:** April 26, 2005, 02:29:15 PM »

I always believed the Lens of Truth was a Sheikan item...

Nevermid, I got my answer already. The person on the cover looks a bit tall to be one person and too short to be another. Mystery this is.

don't think voice acting in a Zelda series would add anything...

And i say adding it wouldnt ruin it... the general excuse i see is, if its a bad voice acting job then it ruins the game. Sure, but if the gameplay is bad, graphics is bad, music is bad... it ruins the game as well. I dont mind voice overs, and dont see how it would ruin the series. I dont think The Lack of Voice Acting is going to ruin it for me either... Im going to buy it and love it regardless, but i just dont thing Matt is totally incorrect. Matt/IGN Bashing is fun and stuff but occasionally exagerated. His other complaint is that, its Zelda, Gannon and Link again. You know what? Hes right. a good Zelda game doesnt need Gannon to be great. Links Awekening on the GB is one of my favorite games ever, and it had a Giant Egg, not Gannon.

Well, I disagree, in this case, Ganon being or not in the game is irrelevant, wether he or Zelda appear, the game will be awesome, we have as proof Ocarina and Majora's Mask, well at least for me

Its true, and thats why Mononoke Hime's Voice translation was succesfull, they hired real professional actors, ( I can only remember Gillian Anderson from the top of my head). For a movie is great, dialog is really nice, although silent movies were just as awesome, if not more, but Im digressing. A game is different, as I said before, unless the characters could say a different thing every time, voice acting wont enhance the game's quality. And it would be kind of ugly to hear the NPC talking and talking the same line, even if the acting is mindblowing, after hearing it a couple of times, it will become dull.

Ok, stop talking about stupid voiceacting now...

I've been able to find the full piece of artwork that EGM used on its cover, and it is mindblowing...It DOES contain a spoiler of a new character (identity unknown) for those avoiding every new Zelda tidbit, so beware...Link (lol pun)

YOURS fails for just being the EGM cover, while mine is the full artwork... =D

Ian Sane · « **Reply #1060 on:** April 26, 2005, 07:14:29 PM »

Well I just checked out the cover. I figure I'm going to see the damn thing in stores ANYWAY so there's no point in fighting it. Plus a site like IGN will probably at some point use this art for a front page banner for an article so as much as I want to avoid it I won't. Yeah I'm making up lame ass excuses.

Cool art nonetheless and the spoiler is pretty minor. I want to try to avoid content related details like actual game play. Art isn't that big of a deal since odds are it will be on promotional material in stores anyway.

I've been thinking of this voice acting stuff and while reading IGN's impressions of Fire Emblem I figured out a good way to do voice acting (though I don't really want it) without the irritation of NPCs reading off the same lines again and again. Fire Emblem is mostly text. There are voices only during certain cinematics. Just make it so that voices only appear in scenes where dialogue only occurs once. So in Ocarina of Time for example there would be voice for the scene in the beginning when Navi wakes you up and you talk to Saria. That's a cutscene and the dialogue happens only once. However when you go around the village talking to NPCs the words would be text.

Its so beautiful ^_^ now Im going to seriously avoid more info ( Iwont be able to, I know it)

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #1064 on:** April 26, 2005, 08:30:25 PM »

Notice the castle on the mysterious stranger's side and the wolf on Link's side. Maybe I'm overreacting but I think the placement is deliberate... they've forced those two to coexist in the picture, notice the really sharp contrast between them. Maybe the stranger is this Zelda's Tetra.

If only they could make a background of that artwork.

Savior · « **Reply #1065 on:** April 26, 2005, 09:03:07 PM »

That thing of which PaLaDin speaks of... Caught my eye as well

Im wondering its significance in the game...

Caliban · « **Reply #1066 on:** April 26, 2005, 09:06:45 PM »

Bill, thanks for linking that artwork. I now seriously want Nintendo to give an artbook as an offer to everyone that pre-orders the game.

I agree with Paladin in that it looks like they are making it a forceful contrast. I could be totally wrong but I think that in this game all the species that usually were "friends" with link are going to become enemies.

Edit: Eeeks! I just got this terrifying idea, what if Zelda also goes against Link?! *slaps his face so he wakes up from nightmare* .

That's actually a very dawnting (sp?) stab in the dark. We've already seen a Goron fight Link in the overworld. Now you have what looks like a Sheikah Mage of some sort, somewhat young and ruthless looking. It's very possible that he is the new enemy.

It seems as if Link could be battling a magician that may/may not ressurect Ganondorf.

Very nice artwork by the way. I want a soundtrack, but an artwork book would be nice also.

EDIT: I'd like to add one more thing. In that very pic, it looks like the castles in the background are in flames. It might be the way the artist decided to display the castles, but still, it's interesting to say the least.

Couple that with the flying monster BIRDS, that soar above the castles and you have well....the plot.....almost.

Artimus · « **Reply #1070 on:** April 26, 2005, 10:55:53 PM »

The art is absolutely astounding, especially Link's face. It's the perfect 3D realistic successor to Link to the Past. In my opinion the art has far more in common with Wind Waker than Ocarina. It has a lot more spirit (something I've never felt Ocarina had).

kirby_killer_dedede · « **Reply #1071 on:** April 27, 2005, 02:48:38 AM »

That stupid wolf! WHAT THE HELL DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH THIS GAME I MUST KNOW.

This is without a doubt the most I've ever wanted any game ever. That art is sweeeet. Time to go crop for wallpaper.

And Princess Zelda's looking hawt.

Also, did anyone notcie the picture with Link being happy or mean? If that's the way the game is giving the expressions, then I'm all for it. One of the things I loved about WW was how Link's expressions changed from time to time and it just brought a smile on my face seeing him smile when he saw his Aryll [but made me laugh like crazy seeing him get plowed into the side of the Tower of the Gods though] ;-)

Which picture is that? (i.e. which number from the above links?) I'm trying to avoid as many spoilers as possible, but I'm interested in this one.

Here you go, vudu...Oh, and just remember people, direct-linking is a no-no...
