DS games normally look like shit in screens, but good in motion.
I'm surprised that this is looking really good in screens. Definitely looking forward to this one.

Looking really, really great. I'm just hoping it plays as good as it looks 
I bet that it will look fantastic in motion.
Naw. I LOVED Minish Cap's style and graphics. Actually, I loved everything about Minish Cap, but I'm really loving how this game is looking atm.This would look so much better in 2D. The Minish Cap was an absolutely stunning piece of software and it had a The Wind Waker look to it... why use a fugly 3D engine Nintendo?

This looks a lot better not in a magazine scan/at the DS's resolution.
Still hate Link's face.

Yeah, it'll be fun to play but that's no my point.
Fugly?
Wow.

This game looks damned good to be on DS. I wonder if finally this game will stop the decline of zelda's games in Japan, thanks to the immense popularity of the DS.

It could sell very well since it's much less daunting than previous Zelda games (controls) and given the immense sucess of the DS.
Hopefully PH turns out to be a worthy installment to Zelda that will keep customers wanting more.

It's a steam boat though. At least we don't have to control the wind anymore.AniHawk said:

I hope so. I also hope Mario Galaxy sells well enough that we get to see a new platformer more than twice a decade.
Ugh. This game is exactly why the DS needed stuff like texture filtering. If it had that, and the DS could push just a few more polygons per second, we'd probably be looking at the twin of Wind Waker.
Still don't know how the game will play, though. Sounds pretty shitty, but who knows.

When I played Twilight Princess, I really felt as though, EAD pulled out their penis and pissed on all other developers out there technically and artistically, and then raped them. The games lighting, scale, and sheer size is like EAD saying "look what we can do on a Gamecube", especially those draw distances. And all on 1.5GB.
After looking at these screens I feel as though they will do it again. I also think they will put even more effort in, since they haven't exactly go the appraisal they were hoping for.
Lets see what EAD can do on a mobile phone processor. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if they managed to get heatwaves over those flames. And good draw distances in too. Their programmers must be some insane MF's. good on em'.

Wow, that looks superb for a DS game. Great job on the DS 3D Ninty .
Touch screen is going to be different, but after watching Ninja Gaiden (another awesome looking 3D DS game), it can be done intuitively.

It depends. Minish Cap bombed in Japan and the GBA had a pretty large userbase.
If this Zelda is successfull, I doubt Nintendo will make other 2D portable Zeldas...
The question is, btw, what style will Nintendo adopt after Twilight Princess's bomb in Japan. Perhaps they'll return to a Link's Adventures formula....

Would Nintendo change up the game just for Japan? Western Europe, and NA love us some ****ing Zelda damnit.
edit: By change, I mean any possible change in gameplay, art direction, storytelling etc. that will appeal broadly to a Japanese audience, ignoring the rest of the world who has supported the current revs (TWW, TP) with millions in sales.
