Oddly enough, this is the one I have the hardest time believing.

How would it be a disastor? It's an means to end an enemy's life. Why does it matter if it isn't perfect 1:1? The differences in gameplay it would bring are basically none, and would only over complicate combat.Kilrogg said:
Do you realize the impossibility of your expectations? There is no way to perfectly do 1:1 combat, because there's no recoil of any kind. If you hit an enemy's shield, the player's arm is going to keep moving in the motion, even if the character on screen is forced to stop. It's unrealistic to expect the player to be in synch with the on screen character, but at the same time expect everything to be fluid and to not get disoriented or "off."

Yeah, bad hyperbole on my part, sorry about that. I don't even know why I said that, I hate hyperbole :lol.
I'm just picturing Link in an open-world where the player controls him and fights with a sword AND a shield. These differences alone make me think that there will be notable differences between Zelda swordfighting and WSR swordfighting. I'm really really curious about that.

The idea of snowblower Link and snowplow Epona excites me ~300% more than the concept art/actual game does.

You know how much I love my Zelda boo <3
Full days. There's just Monday now. We're halfway through Sunday where I am, and Nintendo's conference takes place right in the middle of Tuesday. So there are two half-days left, but just one full day separating us.
It made sense in my mind, at least.

I hope it's not clearing snow away, because that would mean a lot of dungeons with ice in them, and therefore ice block puzzles and enemies that can freeze you.
Also, it'd just be a slightly different version of the clearing twilight away in TP.

Reboots seems to be a trend (Medal of Honor, Prince of Persia, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, etc) but I don't really see Nintendo following the suit.Willy105 said:
The structure of the game may undergo some serious changes but the series itself doesn't need a reboot at all. Every Zelda is a new adventure and the franchise still has a huge selling power.

Yup. If we're going to get a reboot, then let it be on the next console. It's not like Twilight Princess was that bad that we need to completely start over :lol

Each game is practically a reboot anyways. They could get away with severely changing gameplay mechanics and still not calling it a Zelda reboot.

I don't want Zelda to be any more difficult than Twilight Princess was. It took me 60 hours to complete both times as it was. What I would like to see is puzzles that are of a larger scale (like PoP: Sands of Time had) and those which feel more rewarding than remembering what the last item you found was and looking for the appropriate solution.
I believe Nintendo when they say they've really shaken to formula up. Twilight Princess might have felt similar to Ocarina a decade prior, but in between them Majora's Mask and Wind Waker were worlds apart in so many respects. I fully expect them to show it as being different in ways that none of us expected, and there aren't many publishers/developers who do that at the moment.

I don't know if you can call Other M a reboot. It sounds like a 3D sequel to Super Metroid any way you look at it, with Prime first-person mode thrown in for good measure.

I'll believe it when I see it. ZI have been right about things in the past but some of their behaviour in the past week has been sketchy to say the least (notably launching their website amid the frenzy of Zelda hype and disguising predictions as news).
Wouldn't mind it being true (except for Zordiana) though. We'll see.

I always feel like that with any Nintendo game I'm anticipating. They're such a contrary company, so genius at game design and the business side as well, but they make some of the most frustratingly stupid mistakes and oversights in both areas.

Agreed. That one thing instantly signifies this info as fake to me!
Plus adding difficulty levels is so very un-Nintendo and is pretty much pointless if it has the Super Guide (since the whole point of it is to let Nintendo make their games harder in the first place!)

Seeing this makes me think Zelda II sequel with Muramasa-style animation. On the Wii-HD so as to match the art.Myriadis said:

that ice temple drawing has me wondering what another sidescroller Zelda would be like, with hand drawn sprites.
Obviously that's not going to be this Zelda, since we know it uses M+, and I can't see how you could use it in a sidescroller, but it is something that would be kind of cool, if done right.

Well, in fairness, many of the complaints I'd have I would also have if it were any other company. For example, dumbed-down difficulty and hand-holding (which I hate) are hardly specific to Nintendo. From my experience, it's an industry-wide direction.
Also, I'd say Zelda is a bit special. I feel like Nintendo doesn't know where to go with the series. Maybe it's just me though. There are games for which I have no fears. For instance, I knew Rhythm Heaven DS would be awesome
. It's just that I never know what to expect when it comes to Zelda. Cel-shading? Realism? Less dungeons? More dungeons? Spiritual sequel (see OOT > TP)? Straight sequel (PH > ST)? Interesting gimmicks? Strange gimmicks (train...)?My apprehension is at an all-time high because motion controls is now added to these usual questions. Considering I didn't buy a Wii just to play Gamecube games or arcade games but expect games that exploit motion controls, Zelda Wii has a lot to live up to in my book. I'd be less concerned if there were more MotionPlus games in the making at Nintendo. Aside from FlingSmash and optional M+ support in Zangeki, there doesn't seem to be any on the horizon.

If the sword girl really is that central to the story, it'll be called "The Legend of Zelda: The ??? Blade" or something.BertramCooper said:
