heyf00L said:My friend's mom's name is Zelda. Of course she was born way before the game came out. That's the only person I've ever heard of having the name. Where in the world did Shiggy find that name?
As for the female name that is the title? Miyamoto admits that he took the name from F. Scott Fitzgerald's wife, Zelda. Literary critics, be forewarned: There's no hidden meaning or subtext. Miyamoto simply liked the sound of the name. Link, poor guy, has to settle for occasional second billing in the subtitles.
Effect said:First party. 100% owned by Nintendo.
GaimeGuy said:Nintendo purchased Retro for $1 million about 6 months before Metroid Prime was released.
Naked Snake said:I knew they were owned by Nintendo, what I meant by "second party" is that they are not an original Nintendo team like EAD and other internal teams in Japan.
Metroid Prime games were not easy either.
Metroid Killer said:New Ganondorf design for Skyward Sword confirmed!

hahahahahaha! I was not expecting that when scrolling down!
Commercial was surprisingly touching. Really cool that the Williams agreed to do it.
It's going to suck not having a 3DS... : (
edit: don't worry, miau, you're not alone.
GaimeGuy said:It's not like Zelda's that uncommon a name...

John Harker said:No, but I would if you know it's available
RockXLight said:How are people playing a game that isn't out again?
marc^o^ said:Can't stop playing. Zelda OOT is definitely the best handheld game ever made. The game plays like a dream, I wonder why Mario on 3DS needs a run button as the analog stick works so well to walk/run.
Surround sound is excellent, though I wish the volume was stronger on 3DS.
3D adds nice gimmicks effects, such as feathers coming at you when you hold a chicken. But more importantly, it adds an impressive depth of field, as if the game was in 21/9. This, added to an uncluttered upper screen makes the game look great.

Word. OOT imo is better than 99% of current gen games._Alkaline_ said:The Eurogamer does well in conveying what I've preached many times. Ocarina's design betrays it's age. It's not something where you go "oh yeah, it was great for the time, but now it's pretty unimpressive." It's too good for that. It still shames most modern day games.
Playing it just now, you can go into the options and turn off the motion controls.mrklaw said:they rave about the 3D and the motion controls, but any comments on whether you can only choose one? I found the AR games with 3D on very tricky to keep in the sweetspot. For smooth motion controlled aiming I'd want more freedom than that offered.
DoctorWho said::O
MAGIC!!
Hmm, any stores in particular or is it YMMV?Relix said:Stores break street dates. The 3DS is unhackable as far as I know so no one is playing ROM dumps.
It's out in Europe on Friday, but a few online retailers sent them out early.RockXLight said:How are people playing a game that isn't out again?

DAMN. I was there TWICE yesterday but only in the grocery/pharmacy section.Relix said:I think Target broke it yesterday, not sure if they are still doing it today

What size do you need? In the press kit, it's 5120x4000px.VOOK said:Anyone got a HUGE wallpaper of the Zelda+Epona on Hyrule Field art but with no logo?
wrowa said:I got the German pre-order poster today
Now I just need the pouch. And the game. Friday can't come soon enough.
Probably to evoke the memories of holding the run button all the time in 2D Marios (if you don't, you are playing them wrong).marc^o^ said:The game plays like a dream, I wonder why Mario on 3DS needs a run button as the analog stick works so well to walk/run.

shadyspace said:That Eurogamer review was astoundingly well written (even more so for something coming from games journalism) but I could not disagree with him more on the motion controls. They're useless at best and get in the way of gameplay at worst. When you're Z-Targeting the slightest movement will move your perspective about, a lot of the time AWAY from the enemy you're trying to dispatch. Same with going into first-person mode, there's no fine movement and you have to literally put some thought into keeping the camera stationary.
The 3D doesn't do much for me either, though I've warmed up to it some having gone through Inside the Deku Tree but the trade-off still isn't worth it for the loss of AA (and this is coming from someone who is typically very impressed with the 3DS 3D). The aliasing is so bad with the 3D on that you can't make out a NPC's facial features with it on from a small-to-medium distance, turn it off and they're crystal clear in definition.
That being said, it's still fuckin' OoT and those are both optional features. Having a blast.
You can but you if you have motion-enabled you get shake that goes along with that you're constantly fighting.TheBanditKing said:That AA problem is unfortunate but liveable, are the motion controls mandatory or can you aim and look around normally with the slider as well?
