What we know about Legend of Zelda Wii prior to E3 2010

I not only beat it with no guide, I got every single secret in the game without any exposure to information of any type except what came in the box.

Years later I did the same thing with the 2nd quest since I never had.

It's the goddamned game industry that hasn't aged well, since it now clings to the belief that players can't (or won't) think for themselves. Zelda has aged just fine. It's still the best NES game by a country mile.

Quoted for truth. There is no excitement or adventure when you know what to expect.

Selig.... gone???

I realize he is Nintendo fanboy all the way and can be an idiot sometimes... but banning him RIGHT before E3? Wow, even I would be really pissed about that if it happened to me. Selig must be in pretty bad shape right now. Dude treated NeoGAF as if it was his LIFE.

Selig, keep on breathing man. One breath at a time.

Yeah, I know what you mean. He made some silly posts sometimes, but I kind of felt bad for him with how he was treated at times. And now being banned. I hope it wasn't a perma.

Well all the we know about the game's actual premise is the art work and Miyamoto's hint with the creepy Queen of Fairies Master Sword chick and Link not having a sword.

So if its the case the game is about the Master Sword or a sword and or the chick I would assume the title will involve one or both of those aspects. So with that:

The Legend of Zelda: Sword Looks Like a Lady
Fuck Aerosmith
 
Personally, I think Nintendo will take a different approach to naming this game. Instead of naming the game something like Zelda: The Adjective Item, they'll do something more like A Link to the Past or Link's Awakening.

Actually... in Japan, both of those names were named "The Adjective Item"... So maybe I'm wrong.

I liked selig before it was cool. :(

Eh. Well, hopefully it wasn't permanent, but yeah. I figured a lot were getting a little silly in the thread, since there's not much else to do or talk about... but yeah.

Aw, I was looking forward to selig's antics during E3. :( Perhaps I should take it upon myself to try and recreate the "selig experience" so no one else has to miss out these next few days...

Someone please post the Majora's mask moon image to go with this? I'm posting on my phone.

Also, RIP selig, our very own Ralph Wiggum. We hardly knew ye. Goodnight sweet prince.

I also miss HUELEN10. He was a little insane, but I liked his style.

They're a bit like pets. Sure, they eat their own feces and slobber on your paper every morning, but somehow you can't stay mad at them.

Also, Subrosians were in Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland, but they weren't called Subrosians.

Selig! I'm sorry! I was joking!!

I don't envy Nintendo. Every single Zelda fan, I think, wants a different game.

Like, I would do unspeakable things for another mature, story-driven thematic experience like Majora's Mask.
That I could play with a GCN controller.
Exploration thing would be cool, but not completely drop you in to an unknown wilderness. Maybe that, if there were a signpost or something pointing to where you should start?

Which is exactly why Nintendo (and every dev) should never listen to their fans (unless they all did agree, but that's another topic entirely).
Nintendo works best when left to their own devices.
 
We should all start the Zelda backlash early this year... "I hate the sword girl's design, yuck!" there, now your turn

meltdowns too if you are up to it

For all the bad things that I say about Selig it's always sad to see someone get banned. Usually. Okay I don't in this scenario but I miss Huelen.

We'll see what happens

I guarantee there will be at least one amazingly comical, genuine meltdown

I hope we get something as epic as "shot themselves in the foot" from this.
Would be priceless.


It would probably go like this.

Zelda showcase.

"Now here's some more Metroid!"

Impossible.
Regardless of the outcome of the game, there will be something from the viewers.
Even if it's a full scale riot and Reggie gets shanked.

Chances are people will have to suffer through the whole press conference till the last 5 minutes to see Zelda. That in itself should be a riot.

I actually think this is an impossiblity just the art style alone will be enough to get them loud cheers regardless of what it is. Both Real and Cell fans would be happy until they showed it only to be a mini game fest with no adventuring.

Though it would be pretty awesome because it might be the first time the entire fanbase actually sees eye to eye. Actually that still wouldn't work because they would argue over how to kill Reggie, so even them killing someone would lead to Zelda fanbase divide.

So what if Zelda was based in the year 20XX? Remember that fake spoof they made? Lazer crossbows! Electric boogaloo hookshots! Mechanized talking bombs. And Zelda's a robot.

Personally, I'd dig it.
As long as Link for a hover bike and a trench coat.
Yes, I'm a sucker for the Matrix crap.

Even that would have at least one fan. Hell it isn't that rare to see people wanting a futuristic Zelda. Granted I wouldn't be into it but it certainly wouldn't go unwanted by everyone.

i caught selig's zelda ideas, but was the space marine Metroid his idea too? i cant recall.

this still needs to be done, by a more talented gaffer.

Actually, they could remember the NES times and name it "Link: The Legend of Zelda". That would be pretty cool, if you ask me.

my sources say they're gonna go with Legend of Zelda 3
i do not have sources on anything ever

So long as it retains the basic Zelda charm and mythology and gameplay, then by all means, Nintendo, take it wherever the fuck you want.

I'd love to take the Wayne Brady gif and somehow insert Reggie in it but I doubt I could pull it off.

Personally I can't see that happening. While Zelda games do change from game to game it's not as drastic as a change between the games in Final Fantasy. I don't know how I'd feel about that sort of change but I know either way I'd buy it. :lol

Anyway the Twilight Realm (the real Twilight Realm) had a sort of tech-ish visual style. I'd be happy with that.

Shit, I had forgotten about that, and it was one of my favorite places in the game. I guess I might have to eat my own words about a fake Zelda damn it :lol

"Hey, hat man!"

I can't find a Youtube video that actually stops to talk to the first Bob-omb Buddy in Bob-omb Battlefield. First thing everyone does is long-jump toward the path.

I would love Futurama Zelda or Zelda in Space.

As much as I love Futurama and as much as I am basically am the living embodiment of Fry I cannot support this or any Zelda setting other than an early medieval one. Its just not the same in any other time. It might not even feel right if they were to use a crossbow in this game instead of a regular bow.

There just so much else they could do to make things fresh and exciting without having to mess with core stuff like the base setting.

On topic though, I am getting HHYPPPEEDDD for Tuesday. That latest batch of rumors would be awesome if it was true honestly. Especially the 2 difficulties and seamless dungeon-overworld transitions.

Yeah thats what I was guessing, I havent really been following whats been going, but eh I figure its at least worth making a post about it on the off 1% chance it might be real.

Then again maybe its because I really like the idea of two difficulties and the stuff about bosses and dungeons. :lol

Why does anyone think it would be even slightly possible that those Zelda Informer rumors were true? Random fan sites leak top secret Nintendo stuff all the time, right?

Sounds like Metroid to me.

Was this already posted?: http://www.zeldainformer.com/2010/0...t-e3-leaked-lots-of-zelda-wii-information.php

I was thinking about making a new thread for it, but its all complete rumor with no substantiation. If that stuff is true, sounds good.


"The Legend of Zelda", no subtitle? and Dungeons that appear not to be dungeons? WAT?
