Ever since Wind Waker the Zelda series began to ignore the implementation of magic and magic bars in Link's toolset. Magic has been present in most Zelda gales but recently it seems the developers aren't interested to include it anymore in the series. When SS was announced I was expecting the...
I have been recently playing with my Wii Remote, the Motion Plus accesory (I do not have a Wii Remote Plus) and the nunchuk. The problem is that sometime the nunchuk begins to do things in its own. The c buttom seems to act on its own andthe game acts like I have shaken the nunchuk in order to...
I am not exactly sure if this should go somewhere else, but because it deals with SS I will post it here. Hope you guys read all this an comment. :)
This generation of gaming has been notable for a high focus in graphics. Many games that try to stand out usually do so by using their graphics an...
So, I assume many of you have heard from these two PS2 classics. Most notewrothy is Shadow which is more popular than ICO. For those who do not know, ICO and Shadow of the Colossus are two games that were released for the PS2. Both are famous for employing minimalism (to do much with as many...
So, with the release of SS around the corner it makes me thing how we have waited more than two years since the game was announced back in E3 2009. Behind closed doors, and it was just a piece of artwork, but still, the announcement was made and SS was confirmed. And sadly we didn´t have the...
It has become common these days that games are considered hardcore if they have blood, gore, HD graphics, foul language and a mature setting. It has become very common and especially in gaming sites these days you will usually see how people comment that in order to be hardcore you must play...
If you are not aware, there is right now going on a fan Project whose main goal is to make Nintendo of America acknowledge that there is fan support for three games that are right know Japan exclusive. I am talking about: The Last Story, Xenoblade (also known as Monado) and Pandora´s Tower...
I open this thread for those who own a 3DS and have questions about the system you want to ask and for fellow ZD members to answer them. To begin, I will ask my own question. I bought a 3DS a month ago. I tend to play lying on my back in my bed. When I do so, the top lid where the widescreen is...
This Thursdays Nintendo uploades several 3D trailers including one for Ocarina 3D. I was very intrigued to watch the 3D in action. After watching many trailers I notoced the 3D effect does not stand out and instead creates only a sense of deph into the screen. Not all of them but most only had...
A Zelda game without a villain
The home consoles have now an expected Zelda game, which will bring us something new. Yet, the 3DS still has to have a new Zelda game for it. Considering this, I think this is a good opportunity to discuss what could they bring to this game. Not from the point of...
Throught the announcement and development of Ocarina of Time 3D I took for granted that Nintendo's own EAD (their mayor development team) would be in charge of developing the title. It was not until recently that it was revealed that the ones responsible of their development is Greezo, a...
First, I must leave this clear. I like the graphics in Ocarina of Time, bothe what I've seen on the new version and the original. I am not a gamer that puts scrutinating detail to graphics. Taking a look at the graphic quality of Ocarina of Time for the 3DS, I have to say that the game simply...
Not so long I saw a video in Youtube. In the comment section there was a discussion about impressionism. The editor of the video firmly supports the new art style. I like it aswell, but I think the game lacks far too many detail in some areas. More specifically; there are few effects in the...
Players hating Navi is no novelty. Bu I find her rather charming. Yet there is somethong that bugs me of one of my favorite characters in the series, she has no character development. Later characters in the series that serve the role of sidekick to Link have become more and more complex. This...
The cave of ordeals has proven to be an interestng concept. You figh through hordes of enemies with increasing difficulty while you try to survive with no recovery hearts. I like to do this, because Zelda focuses on exploration, not on combat (there is a lot of combat, but Zelda is more about...
I love magic in Zelda. And one of my favorite magical item is any ice related weapon. Ice weapons allow you to freeze opponents, drain their health, freeze them on place and then get some payback on them for all the torture they've made you go trough. the best thing of all? The cannot do...
Many races that made their debut on previous Zelda games have by now been long forgotten. OoT and MM did a great job to introduce races such as the Deku, Gerudo, the Sheikah and more, but many haven't had an appearence in recent Zelda titles. Some like the Goron and the Zora have become staples...
I was lookin over there in Youtube and I found this:

Its very interesting to notice that there are not that many differences between the two versions, OoT 3DS looks much more colorful. Personally I don't like that Gohma looks so colorful, the...
