[Bisnic]

No, wait.
A NINTENDO GAME ON THE COVER OF GI?

WHAT IS HAPPENING

1st Zelda game since 2006 + good impressions + only AAA Wii game of the year = Surprise!

 

[Pappasman]

Looks awesome.

 

[HeySeuss]

I wouldn't get too excited, this us Game Informer after all. Giving Nintendo fans a cover only to review it next issue and give it an 8.0 due to clumsy controls, no voice acting, and cartoony art.

Trolls.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

YEAH !!! hopefully they also have a video thing on the game LETS HOPE!

 

[SixStringPsycho]

OMG! Art looks fucking awesome! Makes me want to go out and buy a Wii for this.

 

[The Lamonster]

badass art!

 

[ASIS]

I literally went WHAAAAAT?!!!

Can't wait for the new info!

Trolls.

I don't care if they give the game a 2.0. If they some info about any of the new systems or interviews it's all good in my book.

you wallpaper obsessed people should just stop and well just get a Skyrim art because it's adulter than Zelda

 

[KoreanBarbecue]

Yawn. Don't I read this magazine for the cover stories about new and unannounced games?

Also, "anniversary" retrospective stories are the clip show episodes of the magazine world. Just lots of filler.

 

[Guevara]

For the first time in a long time I was not disappointed by a blind title.

Shut up.

 

[Snapshot King]

Nice to see Zelda still has the power to make haters hate.

Hey, I wrote this! First GI cover story written by a (semi-)active GAF poster? Maybe!

This year marks the 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda, one of the most memorable and beloved series in all of gaming. To celebrate the occasion, we've devoted 24 pages of our October issue to honoring Zelda's past and looking forward to its future.

Beginning with a look back, we have a 14-page run-down of every major Zelda release up to this point. We've split this retrospective into a series of personal essays explaining why each of these legendary games mattered to us. After this history lesson, you can dig in to a 10-page exclusive hands-on with Skyward Sword, Nintendo's upcoming Wii swan song. We spent six hours playing portions of the game that have never been seen such as the mysterious Silent Realm, experienced brand new gameplay mechanics including flying and dowsing, and spoke with long-time series creator Eiji Aonuma about how Zelda is evolving for the future. All of this info and more awaits in the new issue, and we'll have a whole month of online coverage to back it up, including exclusive videos of Skyward Sword and a ton of fun features paying homage to 25 years of Zelda adventures.

6 hours?.. 6 hours?!!! holy crap when will this issue be out again?

EDIT: lol silent realm, GI still doesn't disappoint.

Good job.

Shut up.

Dude, Kishibe was just joking.

 

[methodman]

Six hours?! Lucky fuckers!

TELL US EVERYTHING YOU KNOW. *points hookshot at head*

 

[Glix]

AHHH Burnt Pork!!

 

[iavi]

Finally, Link looks like a man.

Ironically enough, his in-game model may be the most effeminate he's ever been.

you will be judged.

 

[KefkaTaran]

SOON, MY FRIENDS. Also, a hookshot to the head is probably the best threat ever.

you will be judged.

Would you be shocked to discover I'm used to that by now?

 

[Gomu Gomu]

Was hoping for a new game reveal in preparations for TGS . At least the art is cool.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

I see an emo vampire on the back of the magazine, is this a Twilight game?

i don't know what's more impressive: the depressing dates or the fact that you were able to respond so quickly.

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

Shut up.

is this the issue with new Zelda areas revealed? Or was it another zine?

 

[ASIS]

SOON, MY FRIENDS.

THAT'S NOT SOON ENOUGH!

 

[iavi]

You've played six hours, and I have a question; Song of Storms, in any form, has it made it in? You can just give me a wink or nudge, I'm good at picking that stuff up.

Zelda fans are so sensitive about being told to grow up and join the Adults with Skyrim...

Spoiler

I'll be playing this I guess

Fixed for true migration to Adulthood.

 

[Seraphinianus]

Nintendo: oh yeah, we should probably promote this zelda game a little, i guess

 

[Hylian7]

I like the artwork.

What's the Song of Storms?

(j/k I have a sidebar about music stuffs in the article)

 

[Momo]

Cant say I like the art ._.

Nintendo has been using this strategy for quite a while now.

 

[LiK]

GI SOLVES THE ZELDA TIMELINE!

 

[Dr.Palutena]

Fixed for true migration to Death, oh so much Death.

fixed again

 

[Tadale]

I can't wait to read this. The lack of buzz for this game is stunning.

 

[makingmusic476]

There's a new Zelda??

That being said, it's a beautiful cover.

 

[lupinko]

So far Kamiya's troll is still on schedule, but then again that Japanese rumour checklist has been filling up lately.

Bananas I'd say.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

@ KefkaTaran will their be video coverage from GI about the game, soon or just before launch because all the cover videos you did so far were awesome and I would love some more about Zelda.
