Sorry for not posting earlier.
As for the DS info, the pic is actually from Zelda Four Swords GC. Aonuma says that Zelda DS will be Four Swords-based, with wireless multiplayer and some touch screen control. Asked about the connectivity between Zelda DS and Zelda GC (stupid question, as DS cannot connect to GameCube), Aonuma says that it is unlikely (what else could he say?).

Wireless Four Swords on the DS = Sweet! Thanks, Gessle.

scans
 
No those are his scans, from the original site, they are on photo bucket so Public Domain :D

AND YOU CAN SEE THE DS BIT NOW

(Is this the fastest growing post ?)
 
???????FAKE?????????

Last scan top centre

He's using his right hand?? Link is always left handed

But then again they do have some artwork
 
not FAKE. Lots of NEW info from XANDER (credits to him)

You'll have seen those scans of the exclusive that this magazine has obtained. And trust me, they're not fakes at all (I have the magazine on my knees right now as I write this)

The truth is that "Hobby Consolas" is the most important videogames printed magazine in Spain... but honestly: It's crap! The printed videogames press in Spain is all a pathetic shit, but this time they have achive a great point.

Well, anyway I'll going to put this information here (TSA, don't forget to put this in your website :P)

A writer of the magazine were to Japan and... HE PLAYED WITH THE GAME. With three different demos that surely will be in the next E3.

Well, first the images. As you can see in the scans that theREBELins put:

http://www.beyond3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=503262#5 03262

You can see that Link will have a new farmer-like costume. But it is in which look to be the first zone of the game, a village called Toaru Village. They say that only the village was quite big, with several zones. Here we see the first Non Playable Characters, who have a very creative stile, between OOT and TWW.

One important thing about Link that we can only notice with his farmer costume: He has the Triforce mark in his left hand. AOL anyone? Another thing is that, even though Link will start the game being 16 years old, he will mature as the story goes on. There's no new info about the story of the game. That's because Aonuma says that they won't way any important things about it until the E3

The scenarios are beautyful, though they are similar to "Fable" (at least the village). Overall, the game has a Shonen Manga look. Aonuma says that they didn't want the game to be too realistic, like in a Square Enix's CG, so they chose this stile.

BTW... Cuccos are back! Only one appears, but it's more than enough to confirm it. They look more realistic than ever.

And more animals. A type of blue cows with huge horns that we find in a ranch (there's no sight of Malon or Talon, and the writer doesn't say anything about if they appear or not...) And this cows have some bad mood: in one pic one of them knocks Link out!


Now, let's go with the info:

The writer played with three diferent demos, as said before.

In the first demo, the writer played in Toaru Village, and he says that it looks to be the first zone of the game since the demo were a tutorial of the game. Aonuma's intention with this tutorial is making it fun to play, so the noobs of the series learn the basic controls quickly at the same time that experienced players have fun doing several actions. For example, we'll have to help a pregnant woman to carry some heavy stuff to her house.

The second demo happens in the ranch and it shows a mini-game. We'll have to ride the horse and guide all the cows to the stall in a limited time. The writer says that it is incredibly fun!

The last demo, and the most impresive of all, acording with the writer, was a horse battle scene. In that demo he had to fight a big enemy with armor, riding a boar (armored too) and a group of minions. There are two ways to defeat him: with the sword or with the bow. But we have to bee near enough to hit him (looks like the arrows won't have infinite range anymore) and get close to him, at the same time we dodge the minion's attacks. The writer says it is really intense! He also sayd that the battlefield was huge, what made him to ask Aonume how big the game is going to be. Aonuma said that the game is going to be two or three times bigger than OOT. Maybe even more. And they're trying the game to last 70 hours!

In this demo, there was also a new kind of horse battle: a joust! (Well... more or less. We won't use a spear, but the sword) This joust will be on a stone brigde over a canyon with beautiful looks.

Now to finish, in the last page of the article, they show a square with information of the next Zelda for NDS. Aonuma says that the concept will be quite different from the one in "Four Swords Adventures", though the interaction between characters will be similar. And another important thing: It will have on-line modes with the Wi-Fi of the handheld! He also says that it will use the touch screen and the double screen.


Well, nothing more. I'll try to make more detailed scans of the pics so you can see them, enjoy and start to speculate again lol My first speculation after seeing this new pics is that this Link is a new one. He's not TWW Link grown up. (It doesn't look like it in the new screens with his new costume)

That sounds fantastic!
 
My frothing demand increases.

Although I must say, I much prefer Link's pajamas with the crawfish on them from Wind Waker much more than his new wife beater.
 
The open plain shots look barren like on N64, but the forest shots look wonderful. Some really nice art in there.

Oh, and down with scans!...or something. :P
 
For example, we'll have to help a pregnant woman to carry some heavy stuff to her house.

That sounds so weird for a nintendo game for some reason. I wonder if she is actualy pregnant or if she was just fat?
 
Even the DS news is fantastic, confirming online (which shows Nintendo really is going to put some franchise weight behind their online game selection).
 
Thanks to Gessle and SantaCruzer of the Gaming Age forums, who translated the scans, we can bring you some new details regarding the game.

thanks. I want to be correct about the credits. It's just fair to him.


I photoshopped the scans from gessle so it would be easier to see the new pics. Here they are:

Why did Matt rant about Zelda today??

Because he knew Nintendo Pwned him for new info so he's been whinging for the last few days!!!!



MATT = NINTENDOWNED



EDIT

HA HA HA HA
Looks like WW link is trying to get in on the action,. bottom right

hm, those village shots have me interested in realda for the first time. hard to say why -- maybe because they're the first visible deviation from oot. when they say the game is much bigger than oot, i hope they don't mean that designed locations are separated by huge stretches of wasteland...if it uses the wind waker engine, it might need big empty spaces to mask loading.

I really like that Link is starting out as a farmer teen with sandals and regular clothing. Very cool addition. From farmer to hero :D

Yeah I would have to agree I just read the mailbag rant and it seems like he had no clue
Unless he knew and that was his way of dropping hints.
 
i guess lttp, oot, and wind waker all started with ordinary citizen link being drawn into an adventure, but it'd be nice to see it more fleshed out. i wonder if we'll see a richer and more gradual tradition from farmboy to dragon-slaying, triforce-assembling, world-saving adventurer. i actually really liked the opening moments of wind waker, but the transition there was abrupt -- link went rather quickly from being an island kid to being a videogame avatar as imperturbable as any cyborg or ninja, and consequently the whole thing felt a little cheap and sentimental. kid link looked cute, but wasn't much of a kid in the sense that ico was.

i think so.

He spoke to EGM and the likes heard they'd all been playing it so started crying to his kangaroo.

He then phoned up a mobile phone exclusive game developer from Nigeria, asked if they'd heard of the Revolution, having had no communication with the outside world due to phone lines being eaten by the local wierdo they replied "WTF are you on about Boi...!"Matt rubbed his hands together still upset from not playing Zelda and wrote his mailbag.

Reggie happy with this, removed the death threat from his head
 
i don't care how old he is as long as he can kill, maim and injure


i'd also like to see a Matt Cassi looking character that you can stab repeatedly whilst a shiggsy banjo playing type character laughs and shouts WERY GOOD
