So, do we know if the auto-jump is back or not?? You know, in general, we really got surprisingly little information on this game.

Hey! "the guy who started the thread"--that's me! Now, a note to the Mods on this site, I have been chided for making arguments that are a little too strong, but I do hope that as I respond to this it is noted that I am responding to something that is very strongly worded, and directed at...

Um, why is it good for handheld games, but not on a console? That just sounds like bias for staying in one's stodgy old ways. Now that E3 is upon us, I want to bring this up again, what do you think the chances are that there will be a jump button? 0% 10% 50% 90% ? My guess has gone up the...

Please explain. Doesn't it add an extra element of difficulty? If the game was designed with jumping in mind it could become another thing you would need to think about for (1) combat, (2) challenges, (3) puzzles. Absolutely yes.

Buttons, buttons, buttons. Lots of comments about how jumping would eat up a button--a totally legit concern in my opinion...but! I think we are not thinking out of the box enough. We are not thinking Wii. I think that item select with Wii could be very different: A.) You could use the...

Needing a Roc's Cape to jump is--I mean no offense--just silly. Link is an action hero--he can jump with his own blessed legs! The fact that he is pinned to the ground is just, just, just annoying and dumb! NOBODY NEEDS AN ITEM TO JUMP *steps away from keyboard, jumps up and down...

Maybe...but they have had jumping in numerous other Zelda games...and they have been adamant that this game will be a complete refresh of the series and different in many ways.

IGN makes some good points on jumping in Zelda (though I think needing an item to jump is flat out goofy): Don't get us wrong, we don't want a Zelda platformer. But no contemporary video game character should be hindered by small streams, low walls and short fences -- that sort of thing may...

Midna, do you really think that the auto jump is what makes Zelda unique, what sets it apart from other games? Stop and think about it for a moment. Do you play Zelda games because of the auto jump, or do you play it for all the many other things that make this such a wonderful franchise...

You can't honestly believe this. I can see just not thinking it is necessary (it's obviously not necessary) or worrying about not having enough buttons on the controls. But you can't honestly believe that the lack of jumping is what makes Zelda different from other Nintendo games. That's the...

If you read through the comments made on this thread before yours you will see your points being torn apart. 1. How would link jump with all his equipment on? Well, ummm, he already does. You even point out that he does! As you say, "Jumping comes with interaction." So you're...

Bah! Haxon you make no sense. Why would you have a jump with a Roc's Cape or a Roc's Feather or a Roc's anything but not have it otherwise???? Why? Why? Why in the dear Lord's name would you need an item to jump. I am going to put down my laptop and jump up and down--without an...

Ok, fair enough, looks like I misunderstood you. I agree emphatically that the Wiimote needs more buttons. I think their philosophy when they designed it was familiarity + simplicity = accessibility. And I think they were right. Just look at the Wiimote, it hardly has the style of a video...

"Buttons work", you say. And I agree, but that does not mean motion controls are somehow not gaming. That's silly. Do you really think that the motion controls detract from, say, SMG or NSMB Wii? I think they really added a nice touch to those games. And the aiming mechanism in games like...

Well, I agree the the jumps you make in the game don't feel unrealistic when you're playing, the fit in the game. What does feel unrealistic is that I can only jump when I Z-target an enemy. I can (IRL!) jump up a three foot high ledge--so somebody please tell me how it is going to be...

But you can already jump in the games, big jumps, in ways that are "unrealistic". In combat you jump sidways and forward, you even back flip!! So, I'm sorry, but this argument that it is too "unrealistic" was lost before you started it. The only question is why can't Link jump on command?

I agree the puzzles have always been pretty good (they're some of the best puzzles in gaming!). I personally would not mind added difficulty whether that came from jumping or something else. But more than difficulty, it would just give us some more options and variation on the puzzles that are...

@Raven If what you meant is that you would like there to be a jump on command option but with something other than a button, like a motion or a pedal or something, then I apologize. Those are interesting ideas. On the other hand if you are resistant to it because it would make Zelda like God...

@Raven "some jumping Link", that's what you call it if you were to have a jump button? You don't think it's weird that you have to walk up to a waist high ledge and push up against it to get on top? You don't think it's weird that you can forward roll all the time but you can't jump? That's...

Again, I don't mean to be too aggressive, but I don't think people who think Link should not be able to jump have strong reasons. @Master Kokiri 9 "Like Zarom said it would feel more like a Mario game than a Zelda game. But if they put an item in ZW2 like the Roc's Feather persay then it would...

@Zarom @xinnamin @Ikana Ok, I am really going to take issue with you on this. Because (a) I disagree and (b) I think your reasons make very little sense. 1. It or he would be like Mario: What?? So anyone that jumps is like Mario? Any game that has jumping is like Mario? No. Not at all...

Will there be a jump button in the new Zelda? Do you want a Jump Button in Zelda Wii. My answers: I think there is a 51% chance that there will be a jump button. I definitely want it :wave: I think that the auto-jump was a good fit for OoT but has only been kept in out of tradition since...
