My favorite final bosses in the 3D Zelda games are still Ganon from Ocarina of Time and Ganondorf from Wind Waker, but Majora's Mask's is a close third. Perhaps my favorite thing about him is that he is an overwhelmingly different kind of enemy than the final foes in the other 3D games. All of...

I wouldn't mind motion controls being left out of Zelda Wii U. Ever since the Wii U's tablet controller was unveiled, I sort of doubted that it would use the Wii Remote. Major first party games should take advantage of a console's prominent features. Motion controls simply are not at the...

The quality of the music in Skyward Sword was amazing. My ears were happy campers when I was playing that game. :cool: Still, there weren't that many super memorable pieces that I could hum off the top of my head. It was mostly atmospheric tracks, which have their place in any game, but...

You mean like in Link's Awakening? I'm honestly not a huge fan of the "it was all a dream" trope. I mean, what was the point of going through an adventure to save a land that doesn't even exist? Also, all the people Link would meet and befriend on his quest would cease to exist once he woke...

I would definitely love to see a new kid Link in the next game. To me Link, like Goku from Dragon Ball, is an overwhelmingly better character when he's a child. There's more energy to his personality, and his adventure takes on a greater larger than life feel. You have to admit that saving the...

Even though I think Skyward Sword's art style stemmed partially from Nintendo wanting to mask how obsolete the Wii's graphical capabilities were by the time it was released, I also have to agree with ILU here. Just because Nintendo has an HD capable system doesn't mean they have to use a...

I'm pretty sure the next game won't vary too much in terms of length compared to recent console Zeldas. 50 hours seems to be standard for beating Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword the first time through. I doubt we'll get much more than that. After all, the Zelda team is starting out on a new...

It would be interesting to see Agahnim acting on his own without Ganon pulling the strings. Since Nintendo is borrowing practically everything else from A Link to the Past with this game, what should stop from bringing back its original villain?

I imagine we'll be seeing more than a few bosses from the old game appear with different strategies to beat them.

I don't own either systems, but the original Xbox just doesn't look like a very appealing system. It's design is ugly as butt and I hear its controller is rather uncomfortable. Also, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of exclusive games on it worth anyone's time except Halo and maybe Fable...

The only non-Nintendo console I own is the Xbox360, and I'm honestly not a big fan of it. None of its exclusives interest me, and I've been hungering to get a PS3 for years now. With that said, my favorite way to play non-Nintendo games is on my PC.

The Fire Sanctuary in Skyward Sword.

I agree with TSter. A little change and a smudge of realism is okay in Zelda, but overall it needs to stick to its whimsical identity. Not copy the style of other games. Doing something like that is why Resident Evil 6 got so much flack from the series's old school fans. Zelda definitely...

This is going to sound really weird, but it usually takes me months to finish a Zelda game the first time. Not because I find them too difficult or anything, but I simply don't end up with a lot of time to play games. The process usually goes like this: I get the game and play it a lot at first...

I agree with the the Oracles/Wind Waker cut off. I definitely don't think Zelda games have gotten any worse or better overall, but they definitely have a different vibe starting at Wind Waker. Maybe the distinction comes from the stories becoming a little more character based and cinematic. Then...

It's hard to tell what his state of mind is at any point in the game, really. Link in Ocarina of Time isn't exactly known for his emotional expressiveness.

It's just a possibility the developers overlooked. If you look hard enough, you can find a plot hole in anything.

It seems some people aren't familiar with the Zelda manga ;) Akira Himekawa made Link so lovey-dovey in this scene, it's hilarious. I guess they were making up for the blank stare he always greeted people with in the game. :D In all seriousness, I don't think Zelda and Link need to kiss on...

I think its still a little too soon for Ganon/Ganondorf to make another appearance. Him being shoehorned into Twilight Princess really highlighted the fact that Nintendo was running out of ways to make him interesting. I think one more major console Zelda without him should give him enough time...

@Ventus: Nobody buys video games just for graphics. If that was the case, they'd be better off seeing a movie. Video games are first and foremost interactive entertainment. Call me crazy, but staring at pretty graphics doesn't sound veryinteractive to me. People bought FFXIII because it...

I definitely want the upgrade system to return. I would be quite disappointed if it didn't. It was one of Skyward Sword's chief innovations, an addition to series that finally brought a degree of newness and modernity to the Zelda formula. If it returns- and again, I really hope it does- I hope...

We're almost certainly going to get another companion. We've had one in every 3D Zelda so far. This doesn't mean I think Zelda Wii U necessarily needs one, of course. In fact, I'd prefer it if Nintendo left the sidekick out this time around. Not because I hate companions or anything. I even like...

Then why do you have SS Link as your avatar? ----------- Some of my own favorite moments: LOZ: Exploring the over world for hidden secrets and dungeons. OoT: Traveling Seven years into the future + the fight against Ganon's final form MM: Exploring Clock Town over the course of the three...

Humor has it's place in Zelda, but there are plenty of better ways to make the games funny than raunchy adult humor. Toon Link in Wind Waker, for example, had a number of funny moments that serve as a good example of how humor should be used in Zelda. I particularity like the scene where he...

Like other's have said, Link is traditionally portrayed as left handed. With that said, since there are multiple different Links, it isn't much of a stretch for them to have different dominant hands.

Except tons of people in the U.S. like Wind Waker. I almost never hear anything bad about it voiced in the gaming press these days, and positive posts about it on Zelda forums, such as here, usually outnumber the negative. Also, the hate in the west for Tingle is really an exaggeration. He's...

Since you've already said you're getting the Wii u version, my saying you should get the Wii U version is rather pointless, but regardless, I think you should get the Wii U version. Wind Waker on Game Cube is a great experience, and I wouldn't trade my memories of it for the world. The HD...

I don't see Nintendo ever being able to top Majoras Mask in terms of darkness. That game was literally nightmare fuel incarnate. Regardless, I think this whole debate of darkness vs. lightness is Zelda is rather silly. Each game has its own share of both, even if some fall on one side more...

I for one am tired of sidekick characters that follow Link around constantly. I'm not saying I hate characters like Fi, Ezlo, Midna and Navi or the roles they play in their respective games. In fact, Link's partners are among my favorite characters in the games. I don't really find any of them...

Neither of these games really need a prequel, but I'd have to say Twilight Princess should get one over Minish Cap. The Hero of Man back story doesn't really need to shown in a game, mainly because it's so generic, and I see the Minish as a onetime race, who don't really need any further...

I honestly think it's only a matter of time. The framework for the game is already there in the form of Ocarina of Time 3D and the fanbase has been pretty vocal about how much they want it.

I like what Nintendo has shown so far as paying homage to the original game, but I honestly want to know more about what will differentiate A Link Between Worlds from A link to the Past. All we've seen so far is the wall drawing mechanic. We know nothing about how the game world will differ...

As much as I'm fine with Nintendo bringing in a new Link for this game, they better do something to make him stand out. So far he look's completely identical to the previous Link, who didn't have much of personality to begin with. Admittedly, it's rather hard to add personality to mute...

I think it could turn out to be an interesting mechanic,. It will certainly make dungeon exploration different from other Zelda titles. Overall, I see it either adding an extra layer of depth to the game, or becoming a mere curious oddity. I think the main problem at the moment is we don't know...

I honestly have to agree with this. Both the Child and Adult Timelines lack the strong plot continuity of the Decline Timeline. I think the only reason people don't give it as much credit is because the games are so much older than the one's in the other timelines. I'm also glad that I'm not the...

Excitement for Zelda U is pretty much the same thing as excitement for the Wii U. What console isn't driven by excitement over its games? I fail to see how anyone would regret buying the Wii U due to lack of games after the plethora of them on display at E3. At the very least they could look...

I'm fine with this. Nintendo needs all the development time to work on the single player experience (3D Zelda games are massive after all). It's best to leave multiplayer modes to the handheld titles, like they did with the DS games. As fun as that sounds, I think a Zelda game would have to...

But Nintendo needs to focus on software now. The Wii U has been out for over half a year, and is selling at a snails pace. Iwata himself has blamed this on the lack of top-notch titles for the system. Right now the Wii U is the only next generation system on the market. They should be trying to...

Nintendo's being stupid again. With Sony and Microsoft making big waves with their new consoles, Nintendo needed to steal the show in order to sell the Wii U as a meaningful alternative to gamers. Holding back its top gun, something they could have shown but didn't, wasn't a good move...

I honestly don't know how I feel about this design for Link. Perhaps the best word I could use describe it is "generic". Nothing about him stands out from the character's past iterations, except the HD rendering. I also feel his overall appearance is a little too glossy. In my opinion, this...

Yeah, I don't see Sci-Fi Zelda ever being pulled off well. Even having robots in Skyward Sword felt a little iffy. I think the level of technology in Zelda should never exceed early industrial era type stuff. Stuff like trains, cannons and steamships are okay with me. Honestly, these types of...

To each their own I guess. I personally preferred the original look too, originally, but the new E3 screens have won me over. Still, both art styles have their own distinct feel, and one isn't objectively better than the other.

Eh, the Bridge of Eldin stage never really did anything for me. All it was was a flat surface that was sometimes broken up with the middle collapsing and King Bulbin charging past.

Honestly, I prefer something in between, where there's enough back story to make each individual Link a compelling character in their own right, but not enough to anchor him with a ton of preexisting relationships. I think Wind Waker was the perfect mix of this. Link had a strong relationship...

Wait, do we know for a fact there will be stamina system in A Link Between World? I don't see how that could work well in a 2D game.

I understand where you're coming from, but the updated visuals look quite soft to me, which is another thing I like about them. Just compare this shot of Wind Waker HD with this screen of the original game running in HD on the Dolphin Emulator. I think it's safe to say the original game's...

Demise is the original source of all evil in the Zelda universe, similar to Melkor in the Lord of the Rings. His origin likely lies before the creation of Hyrule, along with that of the three Goddesses. It's kind of hard to judge how he compares in power with Din Faroe and Nayru, since we...

So what do you guys think about Wind Waker's updated graphics now that we've been given a ton of new game footage? Do you think it maintains the original character of the Game Cube era art style? Do you consider the changes to be a worthwhile update? Have some of you who disliked Wind Waker's...

A Four Swords game would definitely work better on an online-capable system like the Wii U and 3DS compared to past tiles that required an assortment of cumbersome cords to work. I'd definitely say it's a possibility, though I wonder if the Four Swords games are popular enough for a sequel to...

I never had any problems with the sailing pace in the original game. Rather than feeling tedious, it felt relaxing to me, and it really allowed you to take in the beauty of the rolling waves and the cries of seagulls overhead. Besides, there was plenty of distractions out on the open sea...
