Zelda: "we're preparing more than you could possibly ever, ever, ever expect..."

Don't think this is old, I did a search.

We don't have a screenshot, nor do we finally have any official artwork, but finally, somebody from Nintendo's development team confirmed Ganon is returning in full force in Twilight Princess. Nintendo Power Volume 201's interview with Yoshiyuki Oyama reveals that Ganondorf is back in Twilight Princess, and he is indeed Link's nemesis for the game. And he says we're going to get more of Ganon than we could ever hope for...

"Finally, no discussion of TP's enemies can end without mentioning Ganon. I know that everyone's wondering what's going on with Link's old nemesis. All I can say now is, we're preparing more than you could possibly ever, ever, ever expect..." That's the quote by Yoshiyuki Oyama that is going to get people all hyped up again. After months of pretty much nothing sense the remarks about a possible "unhappy" ending in Twilight Princess, Nintendo Power's interview finally discloses something new.

"And how will my monsters ensure that Twilight Princess is the greatest Zelda game ever? Wait and see. You won't be disappointed." Oyama sure is boasting, but with how much time he has had with this game, I wouldn't be surprised if he makes good on this claim. Additionally, Oyama states he feels enemies have been too easy in the past, and that they will be more challenging in Twilight Princess. He also assures us the bosses will be far more challenging than what we've seen before in Zelda games.

Oyama also mentions his thoughts on the Zelda series in comparison to other adventure RPGs as well as his input about the items used in Twilight Princess and what roles they will play. Unfortunately, we do not have any scans at the moment of this issue, but hopefully we will get them up as soon as possible.

If they dare have that stupid "hit fireballs back with your sword" bullshit again, my disc is going out of the window.

That was fun, and easy as hell.
I bet I breeze through LOZTP.
Can Nintendo create a challenging game? We will see.

Bah, fuck Ganon. I'm tired of Ganon. If they do it right and make the story unique, it will be awesome. I don't doubt that. But I'd like them to try something new. Not Majora's Mask new, but new.

Well that's good to hear. One problem with Wind Waker was that the enemies were too easy.

The entire game was too easy.

Most people claim they go through the entire game without dying once.

I can personally attest to this fact.

You'll "drown" a few times though, just by exploring.

I think Wind Waker Link either can't swim or is allergic to water.

I wouldn't have died either if I hadn't messed with the black boar just after capturing it, and treating Ganon like a Fighter opponent on instinct, (step his combo, place Master Sword A in Back B...nope. It'd go right thru him and he'd whip around and pop me. Bad gameplay him not even parrying like he does from the front).

Well, shit, everyone knows we only read the bold here at GAF. Spanky.

And of all things to bold, why that one sentence? I don't know about others, but I personally think the difficulty of the Zelda titles perfectly suits them. Zelda isn't Devil May Cry or Ninja Gaiden, nor should it be.

The last boss in MM was lame by series standards and the 'adventuring' often had a disconnect from any constant backbone. The desperation that the moon created salvaged a whole lot, though. I loved that element.

It's possible that this game could single handedly absolve Nintendo of all the dumb shit they've done this gen.

It's not an exaggeration when people say they died on purpose to see the Game Over screen. The hardest enemy in the game is the goddamned pig.

Could it be because the game's difficulty is of primary concern to the general GAF public?

Zelda without Ganon is like Mario without Bowser. Some things shouldn't be tampered with!

If they had made WW enemies harder, then it would have been even more tedious than it was at times.

Its not the enemies that need to be harder, its the general level design that needs to be improved.

nah, I'd definitely say the overall challenge level needs to be ratcheted WAY up. There was never any feeling of accomplishment because everything was too easy. That's no fun :\

Was Ocarina more tedious than Wind Waker because the enemies were harder? No.

Therefore,
Your argument=pretty lame

yeah, i got hit sometimes, but getting a quarter of a heart taken off when you have 15/20 fucking hearts is nothing; And they gave you hearts in like every other pot.

Say YES to harder Zelda gameplay!!!

Harder gameplay doesn't mean more fun.

It needed to be a bit more challenging than TWW's, but I don't want to struggle from room to room. OoT and MM had the difficulty down pretty good. The combat and puzzles have grown stale though.

I never died once in WW. :|

This goes way way beyond not fun...its not challenging. I would like to actually have to pay attention to the bad guys.

They need to get Itagaki on this game and ramp up the difficulty. And get rid of the overworld. Make the entire game all action. Then I will buy it. And see Nfans crying on GAF.

I think TWW had some good puzzles (which is where I'd prefer to be challenged, rather than combat). Again, I think OoT and MM had the perfect blend.

Puzzles are a Zelda staple. They aren't going anywhere. Overall I highly enjoyed WW. the storyline/chara design appealed to me. But it lacked in challenge.
