So what's everybody think? Are we excited?

Me? I'm real excited.

**Booyakasha** · 03-23-2006, 08:57 PM

It's about time. (PUN!)

Seriously, though. 'WW' is one of my favourite games in the series, and I'm glad as hell they're giving it a quasi-sequel. I swear, every time I think that logic and foresight have fallen softly dead at the House of N, they roll that beautiful bean footage, and I am transported anew to the day I fell in love with the Form of Beauty imbuing every corporeal vestige with its divine shining and grace, and I am young again, in spite of my years. (EDIT: Wow. This may be the gayest thing I've ever written.)

Koga · 03-24-2006, 03:19 AM

Is it developed by Nintendo or Capcom? I couldn't really tell from the article. I thought The Minish Cap was quite dissapointing. Still, this may be the game that gets me to buy a DS.

**Wyborn** · 03-24-2006, 03:24 AM

Nintendo. Did you watch the video? It's great.

Koga · 03-24-2006, 03:39 AM

It does look great. I'm not too fond of the sailing, but the rest looks really interesting.

**Cravdraa** · 03-24-2006, 12:21 PM

Looking good...
I hate to say it, but I still dislike the WW style. Still, if the game's solid you'll hear no complaints from me.

DELICIOUS POISON · 03-24-2006, 02:00 PM

^ Ditto the WW Link being hideous. I'm interested in the game, albeit cautiously.

BrandonTragedy · 03-24-2006, 02:51 PM

I like it.

Hell Yeah I'm excited !!!! I have yet to purchase a DS for the sole purpose of waiting for a proper Zelda game...now I have my reason to get the DS aside from Metroid and Animal Crossing

BrandonTragedy · 03-24-2006, 06:28 PM

If you just now get a DS, their are somereally good games that have been comeing out for quite a while for it.

LinkManDX · 03-24-2006, 08:43 PM

I don't know about you guys, but I personally am tired of the WW style Link. I mean, there really hasn't been one style of Link used for more than two games max. Now this'll be a third. I thought the cel-shading would be a cool gimmick, for one or at most two games, but the guys at Ninty seem to like it. This is a really small complaint.

I have yet to buy a DS (But I reaaaaaly want one), and this gives me one more reason to want to.

DELICIOUS POISON · 03-24-2006, 09:11 PM

No, this will be the 5th. Also one of the reasons why I dislike WW Link.

**Booyakasha** · 03-24-2006, 09:45 PM

^Guh? I counts four--WW, FSA, MC, and now this.

It could be worse--they could make Link look more like the fan-art in the Balrog topic. That'd definitely give people the right to call Link 'fairy-boy'. Ba-dum-ksshhhh. (Yeah, I know. But it was either that or a truly tasteless joke about 'swordfighting with Ganon', and I didn't want to give anybody the vapours.)

Irkenwarrior12 · 03-24-2006, 09:51 PM

That's some "interesting" art. lol

DELICIOUS POISON · 03-25-2006, 12:00 PM

Don't forget the first Four Swords. That and the shrill yelps they added in to the LttP side of the game whenever you slash your sword really get on my nerves.

Irkenwarrior12 · 03-25-2006, 11:10 PM

That bugged me after 3 seconds.

Leinad · 03-26-2006, 04:11 AM

I just left the volume off all the time.

Viceroy Nute Gunray · 03-26-2006, 10:41 AM

Yeah, WW style Link was okay for Wind Waker, and maybe Minish Cap, but it's seriously getting old now.

ahuambachano · 03-26-2006, 05:23 PM

^ I have to agree with you. It's getting old, and annoyingly... overused (be glad it's not Mario, he's better off the way he is)?
