Excellent. The game looks pretty good and I assume theyll only make it look sharper as they work more on it.
The music is kinda nice.

Hope it's zero lag like Link's Awakening and subsequent Zeldas.
Thought Sessler was off base with his handheld comment.

Doesn't even look like you can use the touchscreen to control Link
Seems to take a more OoT3D-esque approach
Didn't even consider that. This just gets better and better.
I really hope you are right.
Like duckroll, I hope it would be a larger dungeon than shown in the demo. Also, I hope

This looks so good. The dungeon music from A Link to the Past has always been my favorite dungeon music. It's actually the only one I really care about.
I love the fluidity and the lack of control being taken away. I do think finding standalone keys shouldn't warrant a prompt, though. I'm about to hop on Miiverse just to relay some thoughts on Aonuma's announcement. It'll probably fall on deaf ears, but the fact that I even entertain using Miiverse is quite an accomplishment.
I like how we're already seeing the limitations of Link's ability to turn into a drawing.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Yes. And it is incredible. I could not be more pleased.
Erm, I don't think it's orchestrated. I could be wrong, but it just sounds like a really really good midi that emulates real horns. It sounds fantastic though.
OH MAN YES. I absolutely love Spirit Tracks but that final battle singlehandedly illustrates all that is wrong with stylus controls.

I feel the same way, and I really hope you don't always have infinite arrows. Please let the enchanted quiver be an item similar to the red armor in TP...
something you never HAVE to use, but a cool find later in the game
Why would you do that?

The game actually seems a little early. There are quite a few missing sound effects (like the warping or fanfare after beating a boss). I look forward to seeing what it will be like when complete.
Not a huge fan of the music (I was never a fan of most LttP music, anyway), but it's still better than most dungeon music in recent 3D Zeldas.

I hope they are midi and they do that thing that the music changes dinamically when you hit an enemy. I love that feature.

Wouldn't Ganon as the final boss be sort of...dumb?

It'll be pretty awesome if the final boss turns out to be
Demise.

The music is fantasic.
If the sanctuary theme is that good I can't wait to see what they do with the Hyrule Castle or Dark World themes.
I'd take high quality MIDI over orchestration for a LTTP sequel any day of the week.

Thanks for rounding all these videos up, Xenodude.
This game looks really fun. It looks like all they got to play was that one dungeon, though. I'm looking forward to seeing other areas at E3.

What if...this takes place in the timeline that OoX Link fails to prevent the resurrection and Ganon is revived? Man Links in this timeline branch are pretty unlucky. :lol
That's a GOTY contender we have there. I love aLTTP so much, why don't we have more games like this?
Oh and the music will make half the pleasure I'll have to play the game. Amazing.

Don't see the problem with any sequence during the last boss battle in ST. There were a couple of high precision actions required, they weren't hard because of touch controls it was hard because it was meant to be challenging. Could have done the same thing with with super tight frame windows to execute and button presses. Still would have been challenging, still might have had to retry a few times. You just would have felt ok blaming yourself instead of the controls.

Not really, and they were better for it.

Oh, yeah, I have no idea if it's legit orchestrated, but it's orchestral instrument sounds. It's like same thing... uh... kinda.

It's not orchestrated, but it's higher quality than SNES for sure. I guess that's sort of a given, but it's nice anyway. It's a shame it's not orchestrated, because The Dark World theme is boss on that Orchestra CD.
Game looks great. Fluid. The music is really nice too.
Now. You should probably play it NOW.

I hope so! Roc's Cape/Feather have always been my favorite tool in any Zelda game, after that is the Beetle from Skyward Sword
I wonder if it'll seem redundant though, since the Hammer handles jumping (although in a contextual manner).Magicpaint

Wow the music is great. Love it - gorgeous remix of the dungeon theme.
Nice to hear great dungeon music in a Zelda game again after how ho-hum they've been lately.

How many Ghoma and Dodongo bosses have you fought?
What do you mean? I'm not sure I saw any parts where turning 2D made it easier.

Yeah, I finally got around to playing through and beating it last weekend. I'd played it on and off for years, but had never beaten it.
I'm guessing the final game will involve more than this short demo dungeon.

Yeah, and turning 2D is limited too, it uses up the stamina/magic bar.
According to the Hyrule Historia, that's exactly the case. LTTP takes place in the timeline where the Hero of Time lost, thus leading to Ganon getting all pieces of the Triforce, the Imprisoning War, yadda yadda. Apparently, the Oracle games (where Ganon was "faux-revived") also take place after LTTP, then Awakening.
So, depending on where exactly "LTTP2" stands to take place in relation to all these other games, it wouldn't be totally out of place for Ganon to somehow come back into the picture. Twinrova almost accomplished it at the end of the Oracle games, so I guess anything goes in a world where prophecies come out of the woodwork and history has a knack for repeating itself.
But beyond all that...I miss fighting the Big Blue Boar. He's a hallmark of the series for me, and Zelda just hasn't been the same for me with him being second fiddle to Ganondorf.
