Once upon a time, there was a small 2D land called Dotnia Kingdom.

The people there led peaceful lives, protected by the mysterious six orbs and the sages that protected them.

But one day, the Dark Lord Onyx set his gaze on the power of the orbs, and captured them and their sages.

Then a great hero came and saved the world.

But as time passed, people got tired of that same old cliched story, and wanted something cool. Something hip.

Coming out of the IMAX 3D theater, King Tezro decided it was time to bring his kingdom to the 3rd dimension.

And so the Dotnia Kingdom was now in 3D.

The citizens loved the new look, and felt it was time to tell the story again....​

I've never been interested in Zelda (other than sexy Link in Twilight Princess), but I want this game.

CONFLICTED ON PAYING FOR IT.

 

[HappyBivouac]

This is going to be epic.

 

[backflip10019]

So excited. I love the art direction.

I'm kind of confused about it, though. Isn't this Zelda?

2nd best $40 ever behind SSFIV

Reserved, and ready to pick up as soon as I can. So excited for this. I can't believe how much play my PS3 has been getting in the last few months. :lol

 

[Withnail]

Nice work on the OP Willy105. I'm hyped for this game, looks awesome.

 

[MattNY]

I am probably more excited for this game than any others for the rest of the year. Too bad I will be traveling when it is released.

 

[chubigans]

I need a break from Demon Souls...this should be awesome.

[protonion]

Day 1! I love 2D Zelda games (and all it's clones).
I'd really like to play this game as Link. Are there any instructions on how to make one? I saw a really good one in a video. I could never do it myself.

 

[SilverLunar]

this game looks great, i'll get it eventually, but not soon.

 

[GeoramA]

Finally going to get my HD Zelda fix

I was under the impression that you could import a character that had been uploaded online (not through the game, but via your PC + Thumb Drive) so expect Link and other characters very soon after launch.

If you wait a couple of days after the launch (provided you can't access the Japanese version servers), there probably will be a "dot hero" made like Zelda. The game is supposed to tout a community model thing.

 

[Jinaar]

Great work, Willy105! Another Japanese gaming gem coming our way.

 

[DanDeschain]

Wow, great OP. Really looking forward to this.

 

[reminder]

Day 1. It's fullprice here in germany, though, but I'm actually happy it'll be released here so i'll support this move instead of importing it from the US.

 

[Johnas]

Despite the original Zelda being possibly my favorite game ever, I was initially on the fence about this game.

Then I played Demon's Souls, and I was pushed off the fence. From is awesome, can't wait to play another one of their titles.

Still think the water looks weird, but I'll get over it.
