Looks like awesome, I'm hyped!

 

[Glass Rebel]

It'll be an average game and a bad Zelda game.

You weren't right about Tomb Raider being a great game so why should anybody care about what you have to say about a game with actual gameplay?

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Im torn, on one side top down Zelda games can be fun and I do like them.. On the other side I prefer full 3D Zeldas and was hoping the 3DS would give us something along those lines. =/

 

[MYE]

haha

 

[Starsunder]

I think it looks great.

Day 1.

 

[Linkhero1]

one step closer to majora's mask

 

[Chairhome]

Important question: WHERE WILL THIS BE IN THE ZELDA TIMELINE?

 

[EnjoyIncubus]

Man, what happened to the artists over at Nintendo? Everything they do looks so bland and has no personality anymore.

 

[DaBoss]

I don't get how people are saying it is an ugly game? I can understand if you don't like the Link model, but the environment? no way.

 

[Not]

I wonder if people actually remember how bad CGI models for games in 1997 actually were, or if their memories are as bad as the people who think that the game where you turned into a pink bunny rabbit and fought a giant blue pig in crayon colors wasn't cartoony.

This and Wind Waker HD in 2013. Glorious tears

Just wait for the Plane one. I'm sure it's coming!

 

[takriel]

The real megaton everyone missed, diagonal arrows!!!

And auto-recovering magic?

Nope, that's the stamina meter. It also depleter when Link uses the hammer.

 

[qizah]

Just watched the 3D trailer, looks great!

 

[outunderthestars]

I was thinking the same thing. Seems like an interesting way to play on the lore of the series.

 

[metalslimer]

Not to mention 99% of what he says in nintendo threads is pure negativity

 

[Malvingt2]

oh wow...

 

[Not]

You're growing up, EnjoyIncubus.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Deserves a spot in the video game secrets thread. Awesome

 

[Nilaul]

Dam It... couldnt they not show the new puzzle mechanics? Its like having a Fi in a trailer ruining the surprises and puzzles for you.

 

[DaBoss]

Interesting.

Nope, that's the stamina meter. It also depleter when Link uses the hammer.

Yea, you are probably right.

 

[Niraj]

Looks much, much better in that downloadable video. Thought Link looked a bit too smooth in the direct, but I'm totally fine with it now. Can't wait.

 

[takriel]

Seeing as this game takes place in the Downfall Timeline, the story should be pretty dark and interesting.

 

[Portugeezer]

Those fucking trees man, I know Nintendo won't change them, but damnnnn

 

[Skilletor]

It's great for a 1991 game, not great for a modern game. I get being nostalgic for it, but I don't get being so obsessed with things you're nostalgic for.

It's one of the best games ever. Saying that somebody is nostalgic for it is not a valid criticism.

I wish more modern games were like LTTP. Games that trusted the player had half a brain in their head to figure shit out on their own. I miss that.

 

[Omegasquash]

I don't get how people are saying it is an ugly game? I can understand if you don't like the Link model, but the environment? no way.

Remember Celda?

Don't rag on a game on its looks this early, folks.

 

[MYE]

3D Dot Game Heroes is significantly prettier than what they showed of LTTP2 so far...

It had terrible dungeon design though.

As someone who owned 3DDot at some point, it had distracting, out of place bloom lighting and blurring. It was pretty in concept, not so much in reality. IMO anyway

 

[gamergirly]

Oh Shit

 

[Var]

Day 1

 

[Uncle Rupee]

3D Dot Game Heroes is significantly prettier than what they showed of LTTP2 so far...

It had terrible dungeon design though.

That's debatable. It has some depth of field and whatnot but the perspective is too tilted. I like that this new Zelda has a more overhead perspective.
It is a bit lifeless but hopefully they can improve it since they have another 6 months before they have to nail it down.

And yeah, I bought 3D dot game heroes, and played the first dungeon, and I was like... seriously? This is it?

At least you know this new Zelda is going to introduce new ideas, even if it looks similar to the old games.

 

[brandonh83]

Yep, still trying to process this. This is one of those "not in your wildest DREAMS would they ever do that" kind of thing.

 

[Josh7289]

Those fucking trees man, I know Nintendo won't change them, but damnnnn

The trees are amazing. This is really ALTTP in 3D.

 

[Oxnard Montalvo]

Looks real solid.

 

[campfireweekend]

Nope, I was right the first time. PH is the only actual Zelda game that made me say "No" and stop playing for months because it pissed me off so much with its bland dungeons and dumb gimmick temple, ST was fantastic.

I always feel like an outcast because of my opinion on ST. Bro-fist.

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

Which is exactly what I'm saying, the style doesn't directly translate into 3D. Those trees work well in 2D because it's supposed to be flat, but in 3D it just looks like it doesn't belong there.

I think it's also suffering from something SS does. The grass texture is way too light and empty. It makes things like flowers and trees else feel like they're not connected to the ground.

have you checked it out on the 3DS or just the direct?

interested to see how many more people change there mind about it once theyve seen it on the system.

LTTP is my favorite Zelda but even then I felt it was bland although it had its moments (which I'm sure this will) especially compared to games like Secret of Mana.

Still I can see the style working when viewed in 3D on a smaller screen than my 27 inch monitor so I'm definitely not gonna give a final judgement until I see it the way it was intended.

 

[Honey Bunny]

Fully hyped.

 

[equippedwithtowel]

It's great for a 1991 game, not great for a modern game. I get being nostalgic for it, but I don't get being so obsessed with things you're nostalgic for.

Modern games have moved away from what made ALTTP so great. If this is a true return to form then all the better.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

2D Zelda on a system I actually play? Hey, I'm there.

Looks a shit ton better than the Yoshi's Island game.

 

[Spiffy_1st]

And auto-recovering magic?

It might be a stamina bar.

 

[tolkir]

This thread

 

[gamergirly]

NOT REAL NOT REAL...

 

[dude819]

Remember that time Nintendo had a cool, original idea for a game?

Me neither.

 

[noffles]

Okay, real talk:

I'm pretty lukewarm on this game. When I saw the word "LTTP2" on twitter earlier today, I expected amazing spritework and homage to LTTP (which, seriously, is pretty low on my list of favourite Zelda games). It looks like Nintendo found a toybox and just decided to make a Zelda game with whatever they found inside of it. How can you even announce a Zelda game this close to release without more details anyway? All we get is 60 seconds of video? At least throw us a bone as far as the overworld is concerned. Is it completely open from the start? Is there a companion?

So many questions, yet all we got was a hammer, a shitty paper Zelda mechanic and a LTTP namedrop.

 

[Linkhero1]

Everyone's shitting on it now. Wait until they play it and change their opinions.

"Awwww Yiiissss. One of the best Legend of Zelda games I've played" - noffles



It's gonna happen. Just watch ;0

 

[KJA]

Did anybody else notice that there were thirteen or more floors in that tower?

THIRTEEN OR MORE.

 

[EviLore]

The Celda hate was a reaction to the bait and switch with the E3 concept demo, along with people dissatisfied with it being "kiddy" and not "mature."

This is just ugly.

As for it being a work in progress: yes. The game isn't out. Everyone knows. You're allowed to react to what's in front of you.

 

[BGBW]

Just wait for the Plane one. I'm sure it's coming!

That was technically Skyward Sword.

 

[MYE]

I want the old shield and sword on the new logo

Rocking it oldschool style!!

 

[OmegaZero]

Looks like they're gonna have loads of levels in the dungeons... which is cool, after Skyward Sword's bungalow dungeons.

For sure.
I just hope they won't re-use too many enemies.

Yes, he was. TR is a great game.
