it is getting alittle old with Ganon, but u are right. i think if they are going to keep Ganon, they should bring another bad guy or 2 in that can have them team up.
Link against the odds, the true villian Ganon with 2 underlings.... awesomeness

Saying it's getting old with Ganon is like saying it's getting old with Link.
I actually find Ganon to be the most intriguing character - he's been the same in all of them, whereas we've had different generations of Links and Zeldas.
Ganon kicks ass.
I'd like to see him WIN.
Shit what if Nintendo pulled this -
Play it on GC, get the dark, Ganon wins ending.
Play it on Rev, and you can continue from that, and get a good ending.
Oh snap.

That would fucking own. Damn I can't wait for this game to come out just so we can finally know what happens at the end of the game. This is the first time I've ever been hyped for the story in a Zelda game.

Revolution to kill Ganon, FTW
I think it comes down to the developers. Miyamoto and Sakurai both seem incredibly reluctant to do games that seem even vaguely similar to their predecessors without having either a brand new game-changing gimmick (Yoshi in SMW, 3D in SM64, FLUDD in SMS) or just an insane amount more stuff than the previous game (SSBM's trophies, different modes, more than double the characters, more than three times the levels).Oblivion said:

I'm not sure it's 'confirmed', but I recall Aonuma saying something about people not liking him, and he wouldn't fit in in this game, or something like that...
You got it all wrong. Here's the true story behind Twilight Princess :
Ganon kidnapped Zelda and she's pregnant of him. When you kill Ganon at the end of the game, the baby suddenly burst from the stomach of Zelda, Alien-style. Then,
it casts lvl 30 Cel-shaping, transforming the world into a Cel-shaded one. The gods, disgusted
by such a move, decide to flood the world, killing Link and everyone else. Then starts WW.
:lol

Screw the news on Ganondorf. We all know it's going to be great in that regard.
It's the challenge level that is the real news here. There was perhaps one really challenging part in all of The Wind Waker. One. That is completely unacceptable.
If they can get the challenge level closer to A Link to the Past, where you're actually nervous about surviving a run through a dungeon, then we'll be in business. My fingers are crossed so hard they're getting numb.

You forgotten me? ;-)
Ah NN days.. who can forget NGAMER!! And Fei and Reno are other ppl I remember. Reno posts here I think.
Cannot wait for Zelda. I'm going to book days off work when this comes out!
They have to switch up Link's fighting style to something more God of War or DMC. Bit of depth, fluidity and comboing etc.
Would like to see some areas where it changes from the few enemies at a time, lock on fighting to just a swarm of critters where you just go berserk with combos etc.
Should be able to learn moves and certain button combos to pull off stuff.
Battles should allow weapon switching which is more like DMC.

Isn't the game supposed to be confirmed to happen after Wind Waker? I know they said otherwise at the start, but you know...
I'm hoping they at least fill in some of the blanks. I don't need to play the post-Majora's Mask time-frame, but at least tell me who the fuck Link was looking for in that game.

Personally, I'd much rather the game take place before Wind Waker. There's just much more for the game to say and do then.
*edit* I found this quote on IGN from E3
"In the first level, called simply Toaru Village, we are introduced to the character of Link. Nintendo revealed that Toaru Village is a small retreat just outside of Hyrule According to the game's director, which Nintendo revealed today is none other than Eiji Aonuma, the hero in the adventure is an all-new Link. The storyline in Twilight Princess takes place chronologically decades after The Ocarina of Time, but before Wind Waker."
So you're right

New footage up. Nothing special, though.

my thoughts would be you control Link and beat the game and see how the story unfolds and then you play as Gannon and play the game through from his perspective. Then play as zelda and beat the game through her story and at the end every character meets up to conclude the final story.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
is that really... - new - video?
i can't watch it for some reason

Ganon didn't flood Hyrule then either.ant1532 said:
The gods flooded Hyrule in order to prevent the land and its people from be completely taken over and eventually destroyed by Ganon. The intention was to give Hyrule a fresh start after the Imprisoning War and the possibility of that happening all over again with the Hero of Time back in his own time period.
What I'll be interested in is how they explain the lack of any and all references to this Hero after OoT in WW. According to the WW lore, there was no hero to stand up to Ganon once he somehow broke the Sacred Realm's seal and returned to Hyrule...so if they're planning on keeping the current timeline going (ignoring all the games prior to OoT), I hope they come up with a good way to explain that. :lol

You're right, partially.conker said:
In Wind Waker, there's a scene with Jabun where the King of Red Lions says that the Link he has with him has no connection to the 'legendary one'. The legendary one being the Hero of Time, so there's no blood connection there between the two Links.
Zelda/Tetra, on the other hand, is a blood descendant of the royal family. She is the last member of the Zelda blood line, which is why she has a fragment of the Triforce of Wisdom. Tetra's mother, who passed the Triforce fragment down to Tetra, was also a member of this blood line though not identified as 'Zelda'. She could possibly be the Zelda that appears in Twilight Princess, or there could be another Zelda in between TP's Zelda and Tetra...we'll have to wait and see.
BTW, there's a picture of Tetra's mother in her cabin on the pirate ship. Probably the first 'Zelda' with short hair.

woh, nice. you know your shit. I knew that Zelda was a blood relative of previous ones, which through me to believe the same for link. guess i forgot the part. Also, when you said this
This is implying that some time after OoT, Ganon came back, but there was no link to protect hyrule from him( or he couldnt defeat him) So than Ganon ruled the land ( Imprisoning War ) and than the Gods flooded Hyrule than it goes to Wind waker... correct?
Yes
Perhaps Ganon returned when Link was all up in Majora's Mask ?
Or sometime later?
In Link to the Past, there's that famous
"Zelda is your ..." *DIES* which everyone assumes to be sister.
Wasn't there also mention of Link being the last of the Hylian Knight bloodline?
And Ocarina of Time - wasn't Link left with the Kokiri by his parents for some reason or another?
And the lady that warns you - I forget her name, she's like Zelda's caretaker / bodyguard kinda - she's been in several of the games, across several time lines.
Same with the owl - Kapora Gaebora I believe.
Then there's the theory that Link's Awakening was a dream that Link had while he was sleeping for 7 years in Ocarina of Time.
The whole damned storyline is so confuzzled that there'll never be 1 explanation for all of it.

I believe the line was "destiny." You can't have Link and Zelda be siblings. That's nasty.
If we're going to try and connect OoT and ALttP (thus, using ALttP terms), the period in which Ganon takes over for seven years, ending with his defeat and being sealed in the Sacred Realm is the Imprisoning War (though I think it mainly encompasses the latter).
Link is returned to live out his childhood, and goes to Termina.
Decades later, Ganon breaks loose for the first time. I assume this is when Twilight Princess takes place, and it will end with the flooding of Hyrule. This is not the Hero of Time (who was just in two games, and mentioned in TWW).

I always thought the "hero" was just the spirit of the trifoce of courage and the "hero" - or, the Hero of Time, just chooses his next vessel whenever the world is in danger.
So it's not like the same "Link," its just the same triforce power.
So in that sense, Link and Gannon could be brothers - the triforce of power just chooses his next vessel, and that being a sibling of the vessel the triforce of courage chooses.
Well, with that said - while it would be an interest twist to do, I don't think thats the case here.
I'm just saying, thats the way I always felt about the "hero."
It's not so much direct decendents... just in spirit, really, since the "hero" is always the vessel of the triforce, which is the same spirit, just in different bodies throughout the melinnea.
