So like, did IGN cut off the end of the video, or what? It ends so abruptly.

Well you're right to a certain point. The horse does go straight, however while aiming the bow the analog stick is to survey the area. Either its the same for the GC version or they make the analog stick aim the bow and the c-stick for surveying the area. However, when Link is locked on to an enemy with the bow you control the horse with the analog stick.TheWolf said:

Music sounds pretty similar to Minish Cap's music, which was totally rawksome. Can't wait!

Hopefully there's something similar to this extended trailer for Mario.

Anyone notice we don't need a Zora tunic to breath underwater? Or is that just the mystic effects im mistaking for water?

IGN has the direct feed trailers up for Zelda, Excite Truck, Wii Sports, and Wario Ware. I think its just for the 2006 titles.
So no Mario or Metroid direct feed trailers.

If this is Hyrule Field Theme then I'll find myself horse-riding in circles for hours like an absolute retard and yet tottaly enjoy it.

Am I the only one who noticed or thought it was cool that the wolf was following a scent trail through the snow? I hope they really add more wolf-specific gameplay elements like this...

Under the magic bar is a blue bar when he is underwater, probably showing how long Link can breathe before he dies or it starts taking off hearts.HisBrother said:
I noticed that too, playing as the Wolf looks awesome.crisdecuba said:

The Wolf gameplay could be the most surprisingly awesome aspect of this game.
I'm kind of wondering why they needed to mirror the whole game instead of just Link's character model. If you go to the options screen and switch to left-handed mode, will everything be flipped when you unpause? Or can you only switch it from the title screen? I don't think it will hurt gameplay at all, but it seems a bit odd.
EDIT: Oh yeah, for the door-opening animations, and other environment-specific things. XD
VV TSA said there was a lefty mode. Somewhere.

A couple more observations:
- in the twilight realm, Midna jumps from platform to platform (via Z-targeting) and wolf Link chases after her (5 to 8 seconds) which is probably how you clear jumps, instead of just running off the ledge like human Link.
- we see an Ice Wolfos at (31-32 seconds)
... that's all I got.

You think that was an ice wolfos? Looked more like some kind of ice-fox-spirit.
Nonetheless, that part was awsome^^
But the ghost-Hylian civilians, omg.

I'm sensing some super-atmosphericly poignant exploration of a once great civilisation before it was brought that by some tragic calamity. God, I hope so, I love that sort of thing.

I'm not really sure. It did seem to have the same kind of model as wolf-Link though, having the fur mane and all.
Yup. It looks like they're carying out their normal lifestyle. I thought for a moment that they're not really ghosts afterall. It almost looks like wolf-Link vision mode lets the user see into the "normal dimension" when they're in the twilight realm. In the realm, normal people are represented as balls of fire, but wolf-Link can see what they're really doing in the real realm. That would explain why the soldiers were still on guard, why the people were chatting it up, why the one person was running with the pot, etc.
But it's still probably safer to assume they're actual ghosts.

Ah, so it was Midna. And those probably were ice wolfos.Xdrive05 said:A couple more observations:

BTW, did you guys look at those maps? The areas are huuuuuge.

Oh, come on, hitting those bats while riding on a horse at those speeds would be difficult regardless of control scheme.
Game looks awesome, but I'm still holding off until I've at least played some earlier Zeldas on VC.

Another observation:
The snow section of the trailer (where the Ice Wolfos(?) is) looks like it's NOT part of Hyrule Field. We see the Hyrule Field map in the bridge screenshot at IGN, and the map in the snow field does not match any of the hyrule field areas.
So that map from the bridge screenshot is probably NOT all of hyrule field. Otherwise the snowfield section may just be a twilight-specific area, or even a part of another country (remember, you're not even in Hyrule when the game begins. You're in Tauru village and you have to travel to Hyrule. So there is more to the overworld than Hyrule field anyway).

Don't ask me. I'm referring to the guy who moaned about the Wii's control scheme making it difficult to hit the bats.

If this isn't the greatest Zelda ever, I will be disapointed. That's how good what I've seen so far is.

The music and art style is like EAD at its best. The scenario design and gameplay you know will be tops. Aonuma + Takano +Takahashi for the win!!

Nice find. Is the castle trapped in something? Is it just a strange light hitting it? Very weird.

awesome looking stuff. i couldn't care less if it's mirrored or not...
i like the ghost stuff most. reminds me of scrying in Clive Barker's Undying actually. that stuff was really atmospheric (let you see ghosts and events from the past and stuff).
my only real complaint about Wind Waker was that it didn't do the text book two worlds thing like my other two favourite zelda's do (Lttp and Oot). to me that stuff is as inherantly zelda as breaking pots and rolling into falls and braining myself.
this seems to not only do it, but it looks like they're taking it even further than before. here's hoping.
it'll actually need to do a lot to topple Wind Waker as my favourite zelda (I like the sailing and art style A LOT. weird i know. after i got all the triforce pieces i finished off all the sunken treasure too) but if it comes close i'll love it.
