It very well could be mostly nostalgia, but i am very excited for the 3ds zelda, a link between worlds.
Anybody else looking forward to it?
Wrong place to ask that
I made this thread to specifically talk about it.
as long as it aint phantom hourglass im going to snag a copy
i dont want to use the stylus as a kontrol stick
it's zelda, so i can't help but be interested
but definitely less interested than i have been for almost any other zelda game
Definitely planning on getting it, but probably not for a while. Seems like they really put some time and effort into this one.
Much credit has to be given to whoever designed the cover art. It's beautiful.
my hype for zelda games as of late has been at historically low levels, and almost nothing about this game evokes positive emotions within me
i should never feel so indifferent about zelda
regardless, i'll probably own a copy before the end of the year because in the end i'm still a sucker for the brand
[spoiler=also, this trick again]

looks like nintendo has given up on composing new zelda music
they gave up on that in the late 90s, only now they've discovered a new and less conspicuous way to recycle old compositions
I'm slightly more excited for this game than I was for Spirit Tracks after playing Phantom Hourglass
[spoiler]I wasn't excited enough about Spirit Tracks to ever buy it[/spoiler]
I'll probably get this game sometime, christmas at the earliest, but I already have a few reasons to believe it looks likely to disappoint.
[spoiler]
my eyes water with frustration every time i'm reminded that spirit tracks' sales and reputation suffered as a result of phantom hourglass' utter worthlessness[/spoiler]
[spoiler]
not that it's a particularly stellar game, but it's the infinitely better of the two ds iterations of zelda :([/spoiler]
Thats sad...

Today's Nintendo direct announced some sort of streetpass feature in this game
I'm not exactly sure how it works, but you face a shadow link that the other player customized to earn rupees

http://www.polygon.com/2013/11/15/5109688/the-legend-of-zelda-a-link-between-worlds-review-as-a-picture
QuoteA Link Between Worlds takes the fundamentals of the series' 16-bit era and flips its design conceits on their head. Nintendo has taken its most sacred cow and pushed it out into a more open world with all the terrifying freedom the series has never had.
The result? The best Zelda game of the last twenty years.
QuoteThere are no five-hour tutorial phases, no hand-holding. You go from waking up in your bed to swinging a sword in all of five minutes. This new Zelda doesn't waste any time getting you to play it. And it plays incredibly well.
QuoteThe game feels exactly like it should as a sequel to A Link to the Past. In fact, it feels like someone went back in time to give the designers of Link to the Past a 3DS to make a direct sequel.
omg O_0
my concerns have not been mollified
phantom hourglass has a 90 on metacritic
that's true lol. and then there was skyward sword's critical reception.
granted, i'm still not overly excited about this, but i do hope i'll enjoy it a lot. i'll let other boyagers get it before me and see what they think about it
goowan
i'll get it regardless but i won't be happy about it :'(

i haven't had particularly high hopes for any post-twilight princess zelda game and i don't plan on starting now :|
i liked skyward sword :(
but yeah i'll be getting this on launch day

i've liked almost all zelda games since tp somewhat, but i still didn't have very high hopes for them lol

i think it will be.
Even if its not as good as they say, oh well, i still thouroughly enjoyed skyward .
And phantom.
I got bored of Phantom Hourglass 20 minutes in. I wouldn't say I hated it, but it just didn't hold my interest.
I Thought it was fun.
I mean, the worst part was the temple that u have to repeat, but that was tolerable
i think it's the worst non-spinoff nintendo title in the company's history

Whats your fave zelda tec?
my (current) top five, in no particular order:
oracle of ages
oracle of seasons
a link to the past
majora's mask
wind waker
if forced to pick an absolute favorite of those five, i'd say
maybe oracle of ages is #1, but i've always had an extremely difficult time picking a true favorite zelda game because there are so many contenders for the top spot
Quote from: #rektron on November 17, 2013, 11:44:34 AMoracle of ages
oracle of seasons
if these are your favorites then what about link's awakening

Aren't Oracle of Ages and Seasons the same game with slight changes?
Quote from: Pancake Persona on November 17, 2013, 11:46:46 AM
if these are your favorites then what about link's awakening
and this is why ranking zeldas is difficult lol
i was tempted to put link's awakening in that list, but on the other hand, oracle of ages/seasons are supremely enhanced versions of link's awakening at their base, and having three 2d handheld games in the top five just seems like overkill
la is deserving of a top spot but there's just no space for it lol :'(

they run on the same engine but they're in completely different worlds with completely different enemies and characters and stories and powerups and gameplay elements
Quote from: Geno on November 17, 2013, 11:50:18 AM

no, they're not like pokemon
they're two entirely different games that run on the same engine and use a similar sprite set and art style, but the overworld and dungeons and story and puzzles and all the other important characteristics of the game are all different
they're more comparable to ocarina of time vs. majora's mask than, say, pokemon x/y

Huh. Maybe I should get around to playing Oracle of Ages then. I only played Oracle of Seasons when it first came out and just assumed that Oracle of Ages was like the Pokemon Red version of the game.
they are indeed
capcom is a better zelda producer than nintendo is

in addition, though they complement each other through linking, it's not just to get "version exclusive" things, it's literally that you can't get the "true ending" to begin with without linking them together lol
you have to play both games to truly beat either of them
yeah, you're getting less than half the full experience by playing just one or the other (whereas if you play either of the games in a pokemon pairing you're probably getting like 90 percent of the 'full' experience)
Speaking of capcom, what about minish cap?
That one is great
minish cap ist good
it really is
a shame it's not longer

to this day i still slightly prefer 2d zeldas to 3d ones, mostly because of alttp and capcom's masterful reimagining of the series on gbc/gba

No, but I never did manage to fuse them all. :(
maybe it would be nice if the game were a little more blatant about which needed to be fused with whom, but otherwise i thought it was fine

i was so close to finishing this and the figurines but at some point i was like fuck it
also i love all the top down zeldas but the original. link's awakening also could be a little better
but okay i have to admit

the dungeons are pretty fun in this game maybe a lil 2 easy but i'm not that far yet.

is it like skyward sword where every single dungeon is the same size as the first and take no time at all. If so, then what the fuck nintendo.
havent played skywword
we should probably just get used to the idea of zelda being an easy franchise
it's been that way since wind waker and despite frequent complaints, nintendo has made no attempt whatsoever to change it
maybe zelda's always been easy, it's just now that you aren't wee kids playing it any more
most zelda fans are probably better at games today than they were as young'uns, but early zeldas were definitely harder, even excluding the first two lol

considering there isn't any set order for the later dungeons, i imagine this would have to be the case
though i didn't realize how much i hated that about skyward sword. like even the last level was a total of 9 rooms. the level before that i can't even remember. ugh skyward sword

i'm liking it a lot
the only thins i'm not liking are the YOU"VE BEEN PLAYING 2 LONG warnings you get when you save and the fact that the overworld feels small, and your movement speed makes it seem even tinier
agreed about the warnings

exactly. They should have done the same with Zelda

[spoiler]
i like how this game made me wonder what exactly the value of the triforce is
it's done nothing but cause wars and has only ever been used for 'good' in retaliation to evil
the triforce is a massive everlasting blight upon hyrule, why not just get rid of the damn thing
i didn't expect to have that question answered but then hilda revealed exactly what happened when lorule's royal family had the very same idea
lol[/spoiler]
[spoiler]
Also, did Hilda really deserve to have Lorule restored? She's both malevolent and utterly incompetent and did absolutely nothing to redeem herself after deliberately attempting to destroy yet another kingdom in a futile attempt to save her own dilapidated shithole. akudood;[/spoiler]
