That's what I'm hoping for too. Just make a world that's an amalgamation of previous canon Zeldas and have fun with it.

This is a damn good Link design. Fucking hell.
I like that they changed his face, his nose primarily. Nintendo needs to change Link up some more throughout the games in general. They have to set every Link more apart, imo.
I mean, he's a different person every time, right?

Can we have all of this stuff in a mainline Zelda game now? I'd really like it if the series took cues from the brand direction this game is taking.
Not the two player. Thanks.

No one's forcing you to use it.
WELL FINE:
If i get banned, i'll be really mad. Mods, please edit my post if it's not allowed.
The picture is ON THE FAMITSU WEBSITE, it's not a 'scan' as far as i know.
Also: Apologies if it's old and everyone has seen it. It was new to me.
Also also: I never thought a 'DYNASTY WARRIORS' game would be one of my top 5 mosted wanted games one year. Sigh.
Ooooooh this looks really nice
Best Link design hands down

"Actually it was, the name was forgotten over the ages until after the events of Skyward Sword, when it was named Hyrule once more." - What could easily by Nintendo's explination
You might as well be saying "But OoT is the first Zelda game! Miyamoto said so!"

.....*checks back a few pages*
Welp, I take that back. The possibility that this is a Skyward Sword prequel has my hype plummeting.
I guess I'll still wait for more info. Game looks fun regardless.

I wonder if we'll start seeing this design now on generic nintendo merch. Currently you see the twilight princess model on everything nintendo does.
Specifically these two:
You see them on stuff like coffee mugs, posters, shirts, or anything where someone is using Link as an Icon.

Search the thread, realize everything you thought about Nintendo and Big Boobs was a lie... especially when it comes to Zelda characters.
If Zelda was two player, all the dungeons and everything would have to be designed with that in mind, so the game would essentially be different than traditional Zelda, for better or worse.
So yes, it would be "forced" upon him.
And since when is 2-Player for main 3D Zelda a thing?
I really doubt this new Link removes Twilight Link from the main role. As it is this Link is a Spin off by a third party where as T Link is the star of the best selling and performing Zelda since OOT.
They're not massive.

I completely agree with your sentiment, but they have a goal of selling most of their copies of this game in the US and a pair of heaving oversized tits is practically currency here.

Ok. Ok. Now i need to play this game. That red guy, reminds me a Saint Seiya knight.
True, but I couldn't imagine it being any worse than how the formula was changed to accommodate the game-long "escort mission" that was Phantom Hourglass.
Not every time, but most of the time.
Doubt they'll use a spinoff's design in any sort of major capacity. I get the sense that the TP design is sort of the definitive design for Link.

I said it in the reveal thread but that scarf needs to become canon.

Using two characters to clear a dungeon has happened in multiple Zelda games. Wind Waker you played as the leaf guy and the bird girl in those two dungeons and in link between worlds you worked along side the thief in one dungeon. You could design a game built that could support solo play and co-op
That's in the timeline!
I'm all for nintendo selling off their IP to 3rd party, so long as they distinguish it from first party developed ones. Dropping 'Legend Of Zelda' is appropriate, just like 'Mario Tennis' isn't "SUPER Mario Tennis."
I don't think they'll replace TP Link unless Hyrule Warriors turns into a runaway success. Then again, I don't know how they decide these kinds of things *shrugs*
Nintendo might put out the standalone scarf though
hopefully
Lets also remember that you can even see elements of the Twilight design in Hyrule Warriors Link, just as you could see some of it in SS Link.
TP Link is here to stay for a while, at least until we get a new Adult Link and have the game perform at or near TP levels.
They didn't do for the Oracle and Minish Cap games, though, and those were developed by Flagship/Capcom.
Not "playing by yourself" doesn't necessarily mean there'll be a two player mode. It could also mean something like the Souls series does.

Why would this be the case? If there's anything Dark Souls has taught me, it's that people just want to team up to fight stuff. Mulitplayer doesn't have to be like Four Swords, where the puzzles are designed to be teamwork oriented. The enemies and bosses would just have to be tough enough to actually be challenging with two people.
The single player experience wouldn't necessarily need to be different at all, outside of being a lot harder without help.
So, now we wait for Zelda to receive the Team Ninja treatment. Maybe she gets a mole too.
Urm Samus always had the beauty spot, Team Ninja didn't add that in.
Then how come Sakurai got away putting Princess Peach's underwear in Melee and Brawl where it got a redesign?
Well guess what! :
From the old Direct about Zelda WiiU
Hmm after Link Between World and reading that I am not looking forward to Zelda U.

Well, Capcom was 3rd party and they made the Oracle games and the Minish Cap. :O
But fair enough.
Well yeah, outside of Zelda II, Link's Awakening - Oracle of Seasons/Ages, Majora's Mask and Phantom Hourglass.
But you get what I mean.

I thought wind waker hd got rid of the tingle tuner which let someone play as tingle to help out link?
Nintendo still had a heavy hand in those, and they PLAYED LIKE ACTUAL ZELDA GAMES. The level structure in 4-sword adventures was different, but the gameplay was still like minish cap or a link to the past. I agree it's the oddball, and if it were made today, it would probably drop the "legend of zelda", but hey, whatever.
Mario Tennis doesn't play like a 'Super Mario' game. Hyrule Warriors doesn't play like a "Legend of Zelda" game. It's appropriate that they distinguish themselves from the mainline games.
He has no scarf in this one. I wonder if scarf is part of his green tunic outfit, or if it's an item. *shrug*
The translated parts mentioned he was still in training at the beginning of the story, so I guess that scarf and tunic are part of the proper knight attire or something.

I havent seen the scans but couldnt this be after SS. You dont see Skyloft lower at the end of SS.
Hmm after Link Between World and reading that I am not looking forward to Zelda U.
Exact opposite here. To me ALBW was the most fun Legend of Zelda game since Ocarina of Time and I REALLY hope they carry over some of the game design to Legend of Zelda WiiU.
