Am I the only one that thinks Zelda could use some more platforming? There's a little more in Skyward Sword, but I kinda want more. I think a little of Prince of Persia (not too much) could really fit in the series.

Jump button!

 

[guek]

boooooo!

Zelda just needs more hardware juice. I'm excited about what nintendo will be able to pull off when they can just go nuts (compared to the last 10 years of zelda development)

 

[Laughing Banana]

Really, one of the the most BAFFLING things in Zelda games is how Nintendo seem to insist that a jump button is a bad idea.

I really dislike auto-jump, and inclusion of a jump button can lead to a greater freedom/precision in platforming which I reckon can do adventuring in Zelda a lot of wonders.

 

[shadyspace]

Of all the games to have included a jump button it would have been this one.

 

[Zekes!]

I've never felt a jump button was necessary for Zelda.

 

[Laughing Banana]

It's just annoying that I have to rely to Z-targeting to properly adjust the angle of Link's jump.

Oh, one more thing: the fact that the camera always swirls upward when you are at the edge of a platform. SO GODDAMN ANNOYING!

 

[Gummb]

I don't want another 5 year wait for a new Zelda!

What's funny about these threads is it appears that everyone has decided that Zelda titles seem to be a tier-2 or AA series. Apparently all Zelda games were actually just mediocre, each having considerable flaws.

What is also funny is that many of these reviews complain about some fetch quests in Zelda, and then reward the game a good (8.0) score. Well, I've been playing Skyrim for a few days now, and literally, the entire game is a fetch quest. However, Skyrim is apparently pure AAA god-tier of a game.

Oh well, I can't wait for Zelda so that I can love it as much as every Zelda title, all of which are ridiculously good, especially in the context of their time of release.

Uh, guys? The Zelda games are no strangers to jumping and platforming:

Now jumping in one of the 3D games? Totally unnecessary, in my opinion. Perhaps Link could be a bit more acrobatic, running along walls and swinging around poles, but I don't think he needs to jump.

 

[BY2K]

IT BEGINS!

 

[Hypatia]

I wouldn't mind being able to jump but only if it contributed to more ways to explore the enviroment. If it did exactly what the auto jump does already it'd be a complete waste of a button.

But I do love me some PoP.

 

[The M.O.B]

I don't think a dude wearing chainmail should be that agile in the first place....but you know it's a videogame so anything goes.

Just turned the 17th here

17 plus let's see... 3... equals 20

Dat Zelda HD Experience. *Bite lips*

Dat Zelda HD Experience. *Bite lips*

And judging by the Zelda tech demos for the N64 and GC, we haven't seen anything yet.

 

[GamerSoul]

I love how he staggers abit when the spider hits the floor but readies his shield. Those Details.

 

[zoukka]

Needs more bloom.

Also fuck amazo uk. I'm buying a second version from the stores tomorrow :x

 

[brandonh83]

if you guys think we're going to get a WiiU Zelda that looks anything close to that good

lol

note: yes, go ahead and bookmark this post if you feel like you'll have a chance at proving me wrong at a later date, but I'm pretty confident!

Err why the fuck not? Not like that tech demo had anything the HD twins Couldn't accomplish and the art was clearly just "what if we made a generic Zelda".

I expect the WiiU Zelda looking way better.

 

[shadyspace]

HD Link really hammers home how dumb the hat is.

The HD twins couldn't pull off that demo at all. The lighting was way beyond anything that's on console today.

 

[BY2K]

The Zelda Marathon guys are playing 3 games at once. Geez.

Then you must know something I don't. I can't even see any dynamic shadows in that gif.

Waat!? It completes Links character design. If he took off the hat, he would look like Jak from Jak and Daxter with the hip goatee.

There is no way to make a guy wearing a windsock on his head look badass.

*looks down and the brand spanking new SS special editions delivered about 30 seconds before typing this very post*

most of the time it sucks to be european in a gaming sense, once in a blue moon its the best place to be

 

[udivision]

Zelda's problem has nothing to do with how powerful the hardware is, if it has a problem at all.

Link doesn't have to look badass to be a complete badass.

HOW DOES IT STAY ON?

Same question I had for this guy:

 

[zoukka]

There is no way to make a guy wearing a windsock on his head look badass.

Yeah I think a young fairy boy isn't meant to look "badass" :b

More freedom of movement in general. DEFINITELY.

That's part of why I love Darksiders so much. It's Zelda with more freedom of movement. Ughhhh c'mon Nintendooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

The ears will cease to be an issue once we're far enough into the timeline where Hylians become extinct.

 

[Poyunch]

Yeah I really wanted a Roc's Cape/Feather as an item for this game. :S

 

[gdt]

Adult link is supposed to be badass, young link is scrappy.

So yes, the hat is hard to pull off, but Link got dat shit.

 

[xxracerxx]

HD Link really hammers home how dumb the hat is.

He just sliced off the tip of his hat in that clip if it had hit detection.

 

[zoukka]

You can make anything look badass in 2D artwork.

And personally, I like the cap, it's something iconic and original. But badass was never the term I would use when describing Link.

 

[SYNTAX182]

I knew this would come in handy one day:

 

[DrForester]

Man wears a hat like that, you know he isn't afraid of anything.

 

[Poyunch]

I dunno, killing off Hylians would make Link and Zelda more significant. You could see it in Wind Waker when Ganon sent the Helmaroc King to hunt down females with pointy ears.

 

[The Lamp]

The blurry paint effect that is amplified in Dolphin looks horrible. Is there a way to turn it off?
