this link (if it works) is to the preview video for it and it is looking pretty cool

[Notorious Lightning Yoshi]

OH HELL YEAH! ZELDA NEVER LOOKED SO KICKASS

...

but when is it coming out? I want it!!

[Immortal Goat]

Dammit, Drev, you beat me to it!

Yes, this is the proof that Nintendo is finally regaining some sanity.

[Matt Harty]

I wonder what the storylines going to be like. Looks great so far. :O

[eggyolk]

Windwaker 2 has some potential also. As long as they don't fuck it up again.

Storyline? In Zelda? Well, it's probably gonna be about how Link goes through a bunch of dungeons and find items that 90% of the time are conveniently the key to defeating the boss of that dungeon. Then he goes off to fight Ganon or Ganondorf or some giant faggy dream fish. Special guest appearance by Tingle.

I bet this is actually just going to be some sort of DDR clone. You know, in case Donkey Konga doesn't do so well.

But seriously, it does look nice, though they'll hopefully fix the animation. We'll just have to see how it's going to play.

[HickMan]

Yeah. Probobally. But at least it isn't like FF where the same thing happens every time. AM I RIGHT JAMES???

Yeah, the story is going to be about the same as the old ones. But, the story isn't what's so great about zelda. It's the gameplay. Something FF dosn't have much of. Doofus faggot

You have to wear water wings in the shower, don't you?

SWEET MOTHER OF GOD! I think i just jizzed myself.

[GADZOOKS]

Don't have a heart attack, fatass.

[Dr. V]

BLARG! I'M DOWN!

[the_dudefather]

video....kick....ass....need....words.......

HEY NONNY NONNY!!!!

best i could come up with after a shock.

[timrpgland]

Very cool. Can't wait to see more of it. I've liked them all so far. (I don't cound the CD-I games).

[Matt Harty]

I meant more of the storys base. OOT was about the sages, MM was the meteor, WW was the kidnapped sister.

I mean, how many fucking times can you seal Ganon.

[timrpgland]

As long as the dungeons are interesting, the "puzzles" start getting better like before and the gameplay is still fun, I could stop Ganon til I'm 60.

[MrAdventure]

ps the gba game The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap is also looking terrific go to gametrailers.com to get to the video with no hassle, it's an awesome site with none of the membership/download client bullshit of all the popular gaming sites

[the_dudefather]

maybe the story is based around ganons taking over of hyrule (as described in the wind waker intro)

(this was a very bad guess by the way)

[DamnthatDavid]

This Zelda looks like what Nintendo promised us with that trailer back when GameCube was first coming out.
And what Soul Calibur teased us with.

Sword on Horseback, impressive, darker style graphics... holy shit, I might just fall into seizures right now.

Wind Waker was cute, a fun little game to pass the time between OoT and this new game.
Majora's Mask was a major let down, the bosses sucked, I hated the temples, even more so then the Water Temple in OoT... The only fun was the ability to kick so much ass after you recived the fierce diety mask. (To bad you couldn't run around town with it.)

[Dr. V]

you guys should check out zeldauniverse.net. it's got shit loads on info on all of the games, including this new one.

[Drev]

I have this feeling that this game will be the story from the orginal LoZ NES game, but with more detail.

[James]

I'd love it if this game had voice acting. With Ocarina of Time, the Zelda series showed that it could present itself with a cinematic flair, and I think this game could really shine with voices incorporated. And while we're on the subject of sound, I also hope they incorporate more of those too. I never played Wind Waker, but the N64 games felt a little flat with a lack of ambient noises and enemy sounds.

And it would also be really funny if they made Link say "Well excuuuuuuuse me, Princess!"

[ItalianStereotype]

I'm pretty sure that the conspicuous lack of voice acting in the Zelda games is intentional, james, and I don't think it would be the same if they included it. it wouldn't have the same feel if Link had a voice...or Samus for that matter. it works for Mario because they can pull off that Italian stereotype (heh).

[James]

I don't count Mario's 3 words of speech as voice acting.

I know that the idea of Link is that he's silent. He's never even had any text for his part, let alone a voice. But I think that given the nature of the games, it would really help to give the characters more... character, by adding voices. Especially in a game where the design isn't as fruity.
