Oh, I really like the character designs! They all look so goofy! : )

Technically speaking, it is no different from wind waker. If anything, Wind Waker provides the illusion that you go between the areas because you're on the ground, but they are still self contained areas. The sky travel is cooler, but does make it seem more disjointed, but it is the same concept.

I love the abundance of colour. It's so gorgeous. I cannot wait to see some shots of this game on Dolphin.Like the hat? said:
I am loving the animations, facial expressions and character designs as well. I've really really warmed up to Zelda's design. It really suits her based on her dialogue, gestures and facial expressions.
Like someone said, that romance trailer seems like something out of Studio Ghibli.

Well yeah that's my point, they put that huge vaccum on the sky ala great sea of WW just to avoid having to make a huge entertaining overworld.
IE we got rob of the overworld we used to have.
Just to be clear, I'm no fan of WW AT ALL.
Having the next Zelda take that direction is really not good news for me.
Because really self connected areas linked by a big vaccum overworld was done in WW, PH and ST already.

Fuck the people that hate Wind Waker's overworld. I don't care how empty it was, I could sail for hours and hours exploring the maps and shit, and never once get bored.
P.S. I loved the Triforce quests too.

To say the least I disagree, I'd take a stab in the eye over the travesty that was WW.Andrex said:
Seriously it's even more of a shame since we just got a taste of what was possible in term of huge sprawling area to roam in an adventure game with Xenoblade.
If Xenoblade was not a Wii game I wouldn't have paid it any mind that Zelda:SS was restricted in that way. But now I can't say I'm excited at all for that part.

I tend to prefer playing fun games instead of doing chores but to each his own.
Stupid and wrong. Since the areas below the clouds are much more puzzle-centric than the areas of previous 3D Zeldas they probably put more time in designing the overworld areas (including the hubs below the clouds) than they put into any other 3D Zelda overworld before.Mael said:
The comparison to TWW is also flawed, since 1) the sky isn't a "huge vaccum in the sky" (you are travelling much faster than in TWW, there are dozens of spheres) and 2) there are still rather big overworld areas below the clouds. It's not similar to TWW's small islands.

By the point you get to that part in the game, you should have more than enough rupees to buy all of the Triforce maps. And then you sail and go get them. It's a process that takes, at most, an hour.

I might think they're mad, but I can see people disliking Wind Waker's overworld. What I cant see is people feeling that way, and then liking Twilight Princess', which was literally the exact same thing only with interconnected tube design. Huge, barren empty areas completely devoid of anything interesting to see and do. It was a colossal failure of an overworld.

It should be noted that when I say vaccum in space I'm actually referring to WW, PH and ST.
I don't know about this one since I didn't play it.
BUT the way they describe it make it sound that way.
I don't think it's actually arguable that it would be better if the overworld was actually the land below the cloud instead of the sky in the clouds.
We didn't have a Zelda with a decent overworld since Majora's Mask already.
the travelling problem of WW was already solved by PH, so I'm not fearing anything on that front.wrowa said:
I'll wait to see what's really below the cloud before commenting on it. I certainly hope it's no longer little islands of content in a sea of vaccum like in WW, PH and ST.
As for when the bad news kept coming for Other M, I'm certainly not dismissing it and will be getting it day 1.
But when I hear bad news I certainly take it as bad news.
Oh and I never said I found Tp's overworld well done, but it's certainly a huge step up from the disaster of WW. I mean I could at least explore something.

Oh man. I want this game now. It's too late for a media blackout now, I've seen to much. I guess water temple confirmed? That dungeon clip kinda looks like it. I just hope its not a bitch this time like the other ones. But I guess their mindset is to always make the water temple more challenging.

Completely off topic, but check out the difference in the CG footage of Link between e3 2010 and TGS 2011. Me likey, even if it's not at all relevant. Hype rising.

I think the sectioning off of Hyrule is a fantastic idea. It's a new way to present this very familiar yet still very mysterious land. Instead of just being dropped into Hyrule, it seems to me that the game will treat the Hyrule visits like they're something special. Imagine being in Skyloft for a while, really anticipating the next Hyrule sequence, excited and curious as to what it will be. I think it definitely adds a lot of flavor to the game and could make the lower Hyrule sections feel like more of a treat each time you arrive at the next one.
Or something... like that.

I love how the stall owners are waving at you to grab your attention. The attention to detail is amazing.
Oh, two things after seeing the 'Romance' trailer.
1. Is it just me or that scene of them both flying on those huge birds looking at each other looked A LOT like that one Avatar scene...?
2. Jeeez Zelda is UGLY.
Otherwise, this game looks GREAT. And that song on the trailer from the nintendo.co.jp site is great. Is it the new main theme?

Hottest Zelda we've had yet. It's the bangs. She's so cute I want to force choke her.
Twilight Princess had way more substantial secret areas, and was twice the game content-wise than WW was. Plus the overworld had more combat, it wasn't just a huge empty space. There was more variation to the landscape. Worlds apart from WW.EatChildren said:
SS looks fantastic. I hope it runs well on Dolphin. I don't want to get halfway through and hit a bug or something. Most games I play on WII first before ripping, but this looks too damn good for that.

It wasn't so much the overworked in wind waker but the transportation, the boat sucked, changing wind direction, having a wind baton and sail take up item slots was annoying.
In comparison in TP you just had a horse/wolf/rolling link and moved the controle stick.
WindWaker should have had a steam engine upgrade. Was so happy to see it in Phantom Hour Glass.
Are you aware of what can be done on the n64 hardware?CrazyDude said:
For what was available at the time OoT did a fantastic job and there's a huge amount of stuffs you can do in MM's overworld.
Actually it's one of the most tight packed overworld with secrets on pretty much every corner of the places to be found.
Seriously going from that to the small islands you can't even land on most with barely anything on it is a downgrade to say the least.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
still not feeling it. Possible romance angle with completely mute and awkward Link as well as highschool bully shenanigans are just thematically turning me off.
Combat and dungeons look swish though.
I agree that Groose (how do they come up with these names) most likely has some Ganondorf connection. Maybe Zelda is adopted this game as well. Just don't pull another Twilight Princess ending please.
