Holy shit... my excitement dropped to below 0 seeing the artstyle... HOLY FUCKING SHIT, why the hell they couldn't do it in 2D?

 

[beanman25]

holy cow. amazing

 

[Xellos]

Been wanting a new top-down Zelda for a while now, and this looks pretty great. I really hope they include LttP in this as well, although maybe that's too much to ask.

 

[Plexirvones]

heres what they showed

[BTHR Zero X]

My body was not ready for this news.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

God damn... this is the most exciting day in gaming in years!

pretty much-

 

[brandonh83]

God damn... this is the most exciting day in gaming in years!

Preeeettty much. I've been awake all night so I'm already kind of out of it so none of this feels real, exactly.

 

[outunderthestars]

Who asked for this?

Everyone is crying out for MM remake and they give us a sequel to LTTP?

I asked for this in every Zelda thread.

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

Not feeling it.

Yikes this looks bad. Hype destroyed.

 

[Dantis]

Hurm.

Not so excited now that I've seen it. Looks very lo-fi.

 

[Uncle Rupee]

People bitching about the art should take a look at the Gamecube game Four Swords.
That just recycled sprites and tiles from the SNES game.

At least this has new graphics, the depth should prove interesting, and I'm liking the look of Link.

 

[Magicpaint]

I like the art style in the overworld but not in the dungeons. Ugh, where's my MM remake Nintendo.

Still cautiously excited though.

 

[Ace 8095]

Well. I'm buying a 3ds this year.

 

[Mistle]

the art style looks like the LttP concept art, which is what so many people have been wanting. looks so damn good to me.

the 3ds is so good ugh what the hell!

 

[6.8]

It moved.

 

[Android18a]

This is what I expected Zelda 64 to look like when I was a kid! Yes! Bring it on.

 

[The Boat]

People asked for a top down Zelda and a return to the old art style. There you go. And I'm super happy!

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Half-baked Link to the Past U incoming?

 

[Why would you do that?]

because they are difficult to control with only one analog stick?

Uhh... Ocarina of Time, its remake, Majora's Mask, Twilight Princess Wii, and Skyward Sword use one analog stick, and they control pretty well.

 

[Sadist]

Oh lord oh lord

 

[spindashing]

I'm probably in the minority here but I like how it looks, much much better than PH and ST.

I am in the same boat. Hyped hyped hyped.

 

[RSP]

Hey guys what's going on on the gaming si----

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Alcotholic]

People complaining about the graphics need to deal with it. Honestly, you know zelda games all have different visual styles to each game, and this looks pretty close to a 3D rendering of LttP while keeping the visual style. LttP was not a colorful game-- it was dark and muddy. That didnt stop it from being a good game, though.

On a side note, it looks like it's using the same engine as YI2.
I'm stoked nonetheless.

 

[Empty]

the art is okay.

new 2d dungeons is incredibly exciting.

 

[ffdgh]

Wallet am cry.....wallet am cry.

 

[Justzisguyukno]

I for one, am glad that this is a 2.5D game. Its also nice to see Nintendo changing things up over the years, instead of making the exact same thing every time.

 

[MYE]

It looks like plastic.

So what? It looks like 3D LTTP

 

[Taruranto]

So, it's just set in Alttp world?

... like almost every Zelda ever?

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Yeah looks like LTTP but in 3D, not sure what the whining is about.

 

[mr_sockochris]

wow...

12+(?) floored dungeons? Yes please...

 

[Zero148]

looks like new legend of zelda. awesome

 

[Gen X]

where's all the available media, OP???

WHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????

On the eShop. Zelda 3D video there. (might be Japan only atm?)

 

[Spiffy_1st]

Link is the only part of it that looks bad. Should have gone with pink hair.

 

[Jocchan]

So where does this fit into the timeline guys?

Hopefully in the best timeline.

 

[BassForever]

Loving what I'm seeing Cray Cray Zelda fans hate the art as usual

 

[Chris R]

Liking the idea of a new mobile Zelda game, but man those graphics are rough. I'll still be buying it when I can find a good deal on it though.

 

[equippedwithtowel]

New 2-D zelda.

No touch screen bullshit.

Quasi sequel to best game in the series.



I'd play it if it looked ten times worse.

 

[Stumpokapow]

These knee-jerk reactions happen every single time a new Zelda game is revealed.

"The Wind Waker HD doesn't look like The Wind Waker"
"Skyward Sword is too inconsistent with its art style"
"Twilight Princess is too dark"
"The Wind Waker is too cartoony"

I don't care what you think happens every time a new Zelda game is revealed. People are allowed to hold the opinions they hold. If you want to discuss stuff or disagree with them, feel free. But if you want to aggressively badger people and get upset because they don't think what you think, don't bother posting.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

It looks kinda like a fan project, right alongside that fanfic direct sequel name

Shoutouts to the ameteur modelers

 

[Niwa]

Oh my god this is so amazing. Q_q

 

[Brinbe]

Really don't like the art =(

 

[jett]

wat

Strange to say the least. So Aonuma is done with recycling ideas from previous games, he's going to be straight up recycling entire worlds? It looks okay, I don't see the point in revisiting ALTTP.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

As a Nintendo fan and a Zelda fan, I am fucking mad. What the hell are they doing playing with legacy to try and create Paper Zelda? What the fuck is wrong with Nintendo?

Is this actually real? What the hell? What the fuck made them do this?

Why do I own this console?

Not sure if serious? They took LTTP and made that art style 3d but still top down.

What is there to hate?

 

[serplux]

I'm probably in the minority here but I like how it looks, much much better than PH and ST.

You're not in the minority. It's pretty hard to tell what the minority is at this point.

 

[Beaniedude]

This game looks interesting.
I'll get it when it comes out.

 

[marc^o^]

I'm so happy with this news.

3DS

 

[Gonzo The Great]

Link is the only part of it that looks bad. Should have gone with pink hair.

 

[Rakzo]

Mother of God!

I'm not sure about the artstyle but these are still great news!

 

[Rickenslacker]

I'm probably in the minority here but I like how it looks, much much better than PH and ST.

I'm with you there, out with WW Link, he was getting old. Don't care for the plastic-y look, but the top down is great, and the manual illustration art Link design is awesome.

 

[outunderthestars]

Uhh... Ocarina of Time, its remake, Twilight Princess Wii, and Skyward Sword use one analog stick, and they control pretty well.

I personally find the controls to be terrible in all three of those games.
