I wonder if that was somehow... intentional?
Anyway, I have a feeling it'll get a separate name for the western release. Like "Off the Wall" or something referring to the wall mechanic lol

It looks bad. This isn't even in the same ballpark as LTTP.
Like the hat?

It looks so good in 3d

Is that a Spore Crawler from Starcraft in the upper right?
You do realise that the second image is zoomed in to HALF the scale, right? (Even though Link's model appears to be the same size in both.) So blemishes stick out more?
Observe:
The game will look great on the small-ish 3DS screen with double the pixel quality from the 3D.
I think the 3D version is mainly missing some black outlines and more vibrant colors but 3D is the way to go. The depth will make this even more amazing.

This should be in the thread title of every single Zelda game thread.
No matter what art style they use for a Zelda game people freak out.

I'm not a fan Nintendo. This doesn't get me excited at all.

I just hope we still get a MM remake. I need that game portable. Need. Want. Crave. etc. But this one will grow on me in due time.
Didn't you play Other M?
Was the story the focus of LttP? There were only about 3 NPCs of any real note.

I do wonder if the wall mechanic might make it too easy
Uh....

I'm not hating on the game, I'm just not liking the art.

This thread seems to be proving out a hypothesis: the only new Zelda game hardcore Zelda fans will accept is one that looks, animates, and plays exactly like whatever was their one favorite Zelda game as a kid. (Whatever generation the person in question is from.)
Point of fact, the Link sprite in this game is not as good as it could be and probably should be further refined. It's not nearly as bad as the more over-the-top reactions are painting it though.
We've seen hardly nothing of the game, you cannot say it's shit or it's great right now.

Exciting news. Did not see this coming at all.
Pretty confusing to see posters, who actually would have preferred another 3D handheld Zelda after Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks. That's crazy!

Why would you do that?

ゼルダの伝説 神々のトライフォース2
Literally translated:
Legend of Zelda: Kamigami no Triforce 2
Western name:
Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past 2
We should start calling this Link to the Past 2 guys.
If it were the official title, it wouldn't be words under the standard Zelda logo. It is likely a tentative name.

It's ugly but it's a sequel to one of my favorite Zeldas. UGH.
No, Wind Waker is a fantastic, timeless realization of Zelda's original cartoon art concept. This looks disgusting and kitschy.

Why not just use this art direction:
It looks way better!
Now compare it to the cheap 3d look:
I know which I would prefer.
Nailed it.
If they were sticking with top down they should've stuck with sprites. The graphics look really bland.

I mostly agree but I think the mason dixon line is pre/post OoT.

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.

Where is it on the e-shop?
I can't believe people would rather have a 3D Zelda a la OOT. 2D Zeldas are so consistently superior to them. I can already taste the delicious puzzles
I would argue that 3d added a lot to the series. Mechanics wise oot is a far more complex game then alttp. Sure on the surface they might seem the same. But and extra dimension added a lot. Aiming something in 3d or just seeing a whole world ahead of you in the distance just waiting to be explored. I love them both. But OOT and MM would have been nowhere near as good in 2d. These were actual built interactive worlds with their own rules. Not just a 2d representation of one.
Btw I don't mind this being a 2d game. It's perfect for a handheld. More concentrated very gamey Zelda mechanics and more filled puzzly world. But I would be upset if this were the next wiiu one.

This is the best post in the thread.....
Sprites yes; topdown backgrounds with fake perspective like ALTTP would probably be hard to get to look right though

People remember what males them feel good.
And completely accurate. Shame nothing about the gameplay is being discussed

As I said this is the ugliest Zelda ever. And I like the art in most Zelda games, but this is beyond awful, this is something I would easily believe is coming from Gameloft.
