I LOVE it <333

Looks fucking great. 99 cent game my ass. So much stupid hyperbole

 

[Not]

I bet Miyamoto told the team to only include characters, items and enemies from LTTP as well as making sure gameplay was the focus, a la Sticker Star.

Don't think I can take much more of this.

He gots the Miyamoto fatigue

 

[SteeloDMZ]

I think that wall mechanic is gonna make for some great 3D puzzles.

 

[Majine]

Don't speak for its looks until you watch the 3D video, I say. It looks more vibrant, you see the vertical gameplay better, etc.

 

[Tookay]

That art style is... not great. There are some assets that look recycled from the DS Zeldas.

But it looks like there are some neat ideas at play, so I'm okay with it.

 

[Bel_Air_Jeff]

Pokemon + Zelda = nintendo owns this holiday

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Zelda 2 says you are wrong:

looks decent for a NES game...

 

[MYE]

For everyone who's decided to furiously masturbate over this, remember that Nintendo is going to fuck up the legacy of LTTP with padding, tutorials and a companion.

Don't let your childhood get ruined. Boycott this shit.

What the hell are you trying to achieve here dude?

 

[Zhengi]

Awesome! Nintendo is really bringing it for 3DS.

 

[Portugeezer]

Ok, I watched the trailer on 3DS and it looks much better, reminds me of Minish Cap which I loved.

Still, I can't help but feel it could have looked much better, 3DS deserves better.

Where is it on the e-shop?

Search Zelda.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

I suppose you're talking about me? You literally stepped around what I said to badmouth because you don't like what I have to say. I specifically said it has nothing to do with the art direction, it's in the execution. It has nothing to do with color.

I'm trying to have a reasonable discusion, and you're the one making childish comments.

I wasn't talking about you at all, sorry.

Nah, that's what they did with every console zelda N64 and after. This looks nothing like they're apologizing for just that and giving us a bunch of awesome.

 

[daakusedo]

While being a next link to the past is important, contrary to the hammer, the hieroglyph Link seems to be a strong idea and not just one of the upgrade items, I guess it's part of an extended power and defining element of the game.

 

[Not Spaceghost]

I never asked for this.

 

[Morts]

Looks great, I don't get the hate.

Pink hair is probably DLC.

 

[cws]

Just downloaded the Trailer on my XL. Looks amazing in 3D - you can see this was clearly designed to be experienced in 3D.

 

[pvpness]

So fucking hyped. Been waiting a long time for another Zelda that's like LttP. Good show!

 

[Linkhero1]

New discussion: Will Nintendo provide pink hair DLC? Thoughts? Opinions?

 

[yami4ct]

The fact it's called A Link to the Past? Couldn't care less. It's just a name. The fact it's top down? Holy hell, get hyped. Also, that wall flat Link is the greatest. Cannot wait.

 

[BGBW]

Listen I'm just gonna lay this out there but every Zelda game that hasn't had a top down camera angle sucked* and seeing as the 3DS doesn't have a proper secondary stick I don't want to deal with tapping a button to reposition the camera again.

*Of course there are exceptions to everything and Majora's is the one for that.

Ignoring opinion presented as fact, I thought I'd point out that the majority of 3d Zelda games have coped without a secondary stick.

 

[outunderthestars]

I LOVE it <333

Dear God I am so happy about this game.

I'm going to buy two copies just to ruin the nowaffles boycott.

 

[Arthr2ShdsJcksn]

Definitely seems like a better direction than Spirit Tracks. I don't particularly like the graphics, but I'm looking forward to this.

 

[radioheadrule83]

PREVIOUSLY on Link to the Past:


Video

Going to the concert and reading the interviews I always felt this might be coming but I hadn't DARED dream it would be true:

Aonuma has been suggesting he'd like to do LTTP for years, I hadn't realised Miyamoto was saying similar...

a new game in a new style, taking heavy inspiration from it - would be amazing.

SM3D Land is inspired heavily by Mario 3 and plays differently from all other 3D marios, so we shouldn't assume they mean top-down...

LTTP is still the best Zelda imo. It's deep in terms of gameplay, but lean, and light on dialogue and melodrama. Compared to the newer games it looks simple now, but it is one of the few Zelda games to evoke a strong emotional response in me. That epilogue and end credits will stay with me until I die. It's the SMB3 or Super Metroid of the Zelda universe -- it is the right masterpiece to take inspiration from.

I am PUMPED!

Additional hype:

MPO file for 3D Link to the Past Pyramid

Orioto's masterpiece depicting the beginning of the original game

Triforce room diorama:

Cross stitched map of the original game

Haters?

 

[dead souls]

I will now buy a 3DS

Same here. I've been holding out for a long time, even though there are already a bunch of games I want for the system, but this has put me over the top.

A sequel to the best Zelda game ever? I can't wait.

 

[Miroku129]

Wow. Shitty art direction and I'm so sick of 2.5D. Make it 2D. 2D Sprites would look awesome on the 3DS and the 3D could be awesome.

UGH.

That. Seems like a fan made game for iOS... >_>

 

[commanderpepper]

I'm not even disappointed in this announcement, I'm just indifferent. Nintendo let me down with the last two Zelda games for both the DS and Wii. I just don't think I care anymore.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

The worst console Zelda gets a sequel. Fuck today.

Mmmm your rage is delicious.

 

[dreamghost]

Looks good on the 3ds trailer from the eshop. Guess there is not enough brown & grays for some people.

 

[Easy_D]

http://www.zeldadungeon.net/wiki/Mole

No one recognises it?

 

[Etzer]

I LOVE it <333

Yep. The part where he turned into a drawing really sold me on it. I thought it looked nice. Yoshi's Island, on the other hand...

 

[Fey]

The 3D trailer was great. Really sold on this now. *.*

 

[Portugeezer]

I LOVE it <333

The trees as still hideous.

 

[thetrin]

Yuck. Why not go for full 3D like Ocarina of Time? : /

Because then it would be a full 3D Zelda game? How are you not getting this?

 

[orioto]

Yep.

It looks like LTTP....only in 3D.

The game looks great. Yeah, it's not pixel art, but for what it is, it's fantastic.

Yeah i mean the only way to do something more acurate would be to have a nds with a better rez style and to map low poly with 16 bit unfiltred pixel art texture. I would love that but that would look more like a direct extrapolation of the snes game.

Dude, sorry, but you're not six anymore. Nintendo just don't make games the same way

 

[Banjotanooki]

Guys, WATCH THE 3D VIDEO!!!!

Looks wayyy better than what was shown. Also, as shown at the beginning of the video:
THE FOLLOWING GAME FOOTAGE IS FROM A GAME STILL IN DEVELOPMENT.

It still has time to improve and look better by holiday 2013.

 

[fabricated backlash]

It wouldn't be a Zelda thread without most posters being able to develop a better game in the series.

Or find better iOS games for 0.99$

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

This is the best post in the thread.....

It shouldn't be. What they did with LTTP was special, the graphics and art were mind blowing at the time and even now still looks incredible. This looks like amateur hour compared to that. It's not a Celda situation. On top of that, this is a sequel to LTTP, so comparisons to the quality of that game should be expected. The truth is, Nintendo doesn't have the magic they did in the SNES days, when they went above and beyond anyone else to make truly spectacular games.

 

[Maedhros]

Looks fucking great. 99 cent game my ass. So much stupid hyperbole

So NSMB looks great too? The graphics looks pretty similar, with that cheap ass plastic fell to them. =/

 

[Akainu]

This and Yoshi Island are nice but what is with them being so ugly?

 

[TheCongressman1]

I wasn't talking about you at all, sorry.

Ok, it's hard to tell when heat gets flying around here. No problem.

 

[jj984jj]

Who put Sideway into my Zelda? :\

 

[ec0ec0]

You all know that ,even if the game is a masterpiece, is going to have slow movement, slow and limited gameplay, is going to be easy easy and, maybe, is going to have stupid tutorials too... almost all nintendo franchises have suffered this change because, nowadays, nintendo games are for "everyone" so you all better forget about that feeling of a "classic" game like a link to the past. For example: if we pick old 2d mario games and we compare them with the new super mario bros series... or if we compare 3d zeldas like ocarina of time and skiward sword... or super mario 64 and super mario galaxy... before it was like if the game was telling you just "go" and nothing more but now... you know is true...

 

[Rickenslacker]

Ignoring opinion presented as fact, I thought I'd point out that the majority of 3d Zelda games have coped without a secondary stick.

Like I said, I don't want to deal with tapping a button to reposition the camera again. Ever again hopefully.

 

[Tuck]

The DS games were fine. The forced touch controls weren't great, but the dungeon design of both were really good and the world and characters of Spirit Tracks were great.

No they weren't. Like, at all. The central dungeon in the second game was decent, but everything else was just standard fare - going through the motions. No thinking required.

But thats besides the point. I'm talking visually. The DS games were this weird take on the WW style.

This game looks much better - especially in 3D.

 

[MYE]

Listen I'm just gonna lay this out there but every Zelda game that hasn't had a top down camera angle sucked* and seeing as the 3DS doesn't have a proper secondary stick I don't want to deal with tapping a button to reposition the camera again.

...

This thread...it should've been a happy one. But it isnt! Goddamn

 

[Sinthetic]

Trailer looks fantastic in 3D. Massive sense of verticality which demands to be played in 3D.

I'm a big fan of the wall mechanic too. Seriously looking forward to it.

 

[eot]

Heh, I will never get why people go all gaga over this, but good for you guys.

 

[Not]

...but everyone's right, those graphics could use a tune-up

 

[TheOGB]

I'm statistically more inclined to finish a top-down Zelda than a 3D one, so I look forward to this.

Won't somebody think of the childhoods?!
