Looks like the compass still does the same thing it's always did:
Lazy.

They should just remove the compass entirely imo.
Pretty sure he/she is mocking Anticitizen One.
They did that in SS didn't they?
Huh, I don't know why I didn't think they'd extend this feature to 2D Zelda. Maybe I didn't think we'd see more classic-style Zelda. THIS LOOKS SO GOOD.
I don't remember to be honest. Wouldn't have mattered since the dungeons were straightforward

Why doesn't someone get a hands on preview thread set up? New news, new thread and all that.

Haha, but I think dungeons are where SS shined.

Why would they design a stamina system just to use it only in the demo? i honestly would rather have a stamina system and infinite items than a stamina system and limited items. Otherwise what use would the stamina meter have apart of handicapping the player? A system that only punishes a player isn't exactly a good one.
Anyway, video looks great. It kinda confirms my fears about very small floors, but I hope that'll only be true in this one dungeon. Apart of that it's really great -- and fast.

Anybody who wants to go to December, grab my hand
There you go... Fixed... Just don't stop playing until you see December on the calendar.
I'm pretty sure in the demos of previous Zeldas they didn't make arrows unlimited.
And if they did change that for the demo, why would they think to tie it to the stamina meter?
To prevent you from spamming arrows and hammers like you could in ALTTP.
This dungeon has 12 floors and is a more vertical dungeon, so it having smaller rooms and suchh would be normal.
This so much.

Apparently they did exactly the same thing in the Skyward Sword demo.

Maybe the demo gives you the most upgraded version of your items... I wouldn't mind having an enchanted quiver as a late-game unlockable...

That's exactly how it was. I didn't even complain about "bah bah" back then. I didn't care, it was a brand spankin new 2D Mario. YAHOO!
But now, with NEW Super Mario Bros. 2 reusing so much from the DS game, I just got annoyed with it. With how much this series sells, I want to see Nintendo look passionate about this series and bring about high quality music and graphics and expand the content. Instead they just look like obvious cash grabs, thinking that good level design is all people care about. Most of the levels aren't rich with new ideas anyway. Bone Coasters? Was a cool idea and is still fun, but it's not what I'd call exciting anymore. I've been getting too good with NSMB Wii and DS that these "newer" games are quick to get boring because they're so easy, especially in the beginning. And collecting those big coins have always been boring. I play for the adventure, not just for level designs and collecting stuff. The levels are supposed to enrich the adventure.
Anyway, enough about that. I really, sincerely hope 2D Mario will come back later with an improved presentation and rich new ideas. I greatly prefer them over 3D Mario and would like them to get the budget those lesser selling games get.
Right now, I would be happy if this generation can revive Zelda. The series sells okay nowadays, but I feel the game has really been losing its touch.
With LTTP 2, I don't really like the puzzle focus of the reveal trailer and that short hands on video footage was all straight forward puzzles. I hope they use the whole layered dungeons thing for lots of great action play as well. The puzzle thing is what has me most worried about this new Zelda because if they over do it, it will just end up being another Phantom Hourglass or Spirit Tracks and speed runs will be very boring to watch.
Hey Nintendo take a look at this:

THIS is the game you're competing with. Show these guys you all can still make a classic.

Considering the simple graphics style, I'd bet my house it's 60fps. If they managed to get MK7 60fps in 3D with 8 player online whilst looking beautiful, I have no doubt.
But a confirmation would be nice.
A Four Swords Adventure-like coop doesn't sound bad.
Man all these videos showing the smooth and fast gameplay makes me want to preorder it right now! Too bad it's not on Amazon yet.

If Nintendo released a LTTP2 themed XL with the game and ALTTP1 pre-loaded onto it
lol, $$$$$

I think the energy meter ties into charge up time/attack power of the arrows. For example look at this video:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZtU94oOfuc#t=0m35s
and then this:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcZ8wnPWb4s#t=1m25s
The amount of energy taken up for an arrow shot is significantly different. In the first video the player does a quick shot where as in the second video the player holds the arrow for a bit of time. They both have the same amount of hearts so they can't be super far in the game from each other. I think if it isn't for charge up then maybe you can increase energy capacity so although the game doesn't outright give you ammo, it limits the amount of shots you can make based on your progression. The meter doesn't fill up that fast either, I can imagine a situation where you'd have to stop being on the offensive for a short time so you can regain energy.

I would buy all of them and build a house made of LTTP2 XLs

And most of them are dumb.
Yea, there definitely is some charging in the game.
But the thing that stuck out for me in the video is that Link's spin attack didn't take up stamina/magic.
careful, you're going to get me hyped

Which begs the question...if this is a sequel. Why do you need a new compass?
I'm all for a sequel. I am starting to wander if this is the 1.5 edition.

or ohhh i don't know a prequel?
Each dungeon had its own compass.
I'm not sure if serious. These are new dungeons, you always had to find a new compass for every dungeon.

Man it's been so long sense I played a Zelda game. >.>
Thanks for the reminder.
Didn't like the Wii one, haven't really played one since Wind Waker.

I think those floating plaform areas don't have enough obstacles. There was a lot of nothing going on in those places. They should have us dodge some cannon balls or something while we wait for "oh my gosh!" *flattens into wall and unflattens on the other side*
Good news though is that the game seems to be running at 60 fps. Real smooth.

You can hear the music in the second video. The nostalgia! It hurts so goooooood!

I didn't like that dungeon remix too much. The boss battle theme sounded cool though.
Also, there was one part in that video where the action paused so we can hear the Zelda chime. Boooooo! Not a deal breaker, but the original LTTP didn't pause for that stuff.
Also getting the impression we'll be getting rich pretty quick. I hope there is something to spend those silver ruppees on.
Hmm, the game seems to be actively running all a set of floors at once. Aka, floors aren't frozen until you reach that floor level (by falling or jumping up). There are a couple of shots in the video where you can see a clear three floors down and the baddies the swimming around like mad. Just a thing of note before you complain about not pushing the system.

Damnit Nintendo, release this stuff for Wii u also!! Ya know, your failing system that NEEDS games???
HOOK IT TO MY VEINS!
Spirit Icana

Yeah. I think that can make for some interesting action sections. Have us be a litte careful when jumping down. It'd be cool to see some bosses take some advantage of the whole tier thing too. Now I'm thinking about Dark Souls and the jump stab thing.

Don't derail, we're having quite a jolly time in here. Also, I think that's technically port begging...

Im not port begging... Im just wondering why they are releasing so many great games on 3ds when it seems logical to release them on both systems. (seeing as the wii tablet could be the second screen). Besides, I'm not asking for it to release on a microsoft or sony console, I'm curious about nintendo to nintendo. But your right, I wont derail thread. Sorry.

It took a while for beastmode nintendo to show up for 3ds. Wii u beastmode is coming.

Oh okay I get you. I think, for example Luigi's Mansion 2 is suited to portable play. The mission structure might get frustrating on lengthened play.

Yeah. If shit works both ways and we get a Wind Waker 3D too, then hell yes.
It has a title in Japan. They probably haven't decided on an English title yet.
Makes too much sense lol.
What's the Japanese title?
