EGM ZELDA PICS SCANNED ZELDA WITH SWORD TOO! (2) - Page 6

AI, actually you're wrong. Link isn't a werewolf. He's just an ordinary wolf.

Nyeh nyeh. I'll take back the donkey! :>

Well, Dai Grepher thinks it sucks.

And I'm sure that everyone respects his opinion.

***CaptHayfever*** · 05-18-2005, 09:27 AM

So then, if Link is the wolf and Zelda is (probably) the hawk, is the little dude that rides Link supposed to be Matthew Broderick?

....Oh, yeah, I forgot none of you have seen Ladyhawke.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

**Cravdraa** · 05-18-2005, 09:27 AM

To my understanding, the same curse that changes Link into a wolf during the night changes Zelda into a hawk during the day. Thus the title Twilight Princess actually makes sense.

^Ooh, I see now. Still don't like it much though. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I like the concept behind the curse, though. Neat.

Dai Grepher doesn't even count as a person.

And TML, there's nothing that dictates a werewolf must be a half-man, half-wolf.

By definition, he is a were-wolf.

were·wolf also wer·wolf ( P ) Pronunciation Key (wârwlf, wîr-, wûr-)
n.
A person transformed into a wolf or capable of assuming the form of a wolf.

Bah. It turns out that the whole Zelda=hawk thing is just ign speculation. I guess I should check up on my facts better...

thunt · 05-18-2005, 03:42 PM

Actually, Capt. Hayfever, I've seen LadyHawke. It does seem suspicious.

Dai Grepher · 05-18-2005, 03:57 PM

Just because she is a "twilight princess" does not mean that she changes in the daytime. It could mean that she changes at night. The scene of her looking out the window at night could just be showing her dismay at the approaching darkness because that is what will change her.

I just don't understand why she is wearing a Sheikah cloak. It is unlikely that this is after Ocarina of Time, since Impa was the only Sheikah left.

Also, I do not think that the game "sucks". I am only pessimistic about it.

SilverWind · 05-18-2005, 04:56 PM

Zelda is not the hawk; that was just speculation.

In the video clips, the hawk is referred to as a he. Also, there doesn't seem to be anything overly mysterious about it in any way (it seems to have been with Cowboy Link since before the beginning of the game, as is the horse).

Beam Yosho the Drunkard · 05-18-2005, 05:00 PM

Wolfs and Hawks don't mix.

That doesn't mean all the Sheikah were gone forever. Maybe they just left Hyrule.

Bonnie Longley · 05-18-2005, 10:30 PM

^I second that. If you go back and play OoT (or look at a text dump) you will see that they never said the Sheikahs were dead. They are legendary. No one has seen one in a very long time. They are thought to have died out. It never said "OMG DEAD ALL OF THEM!" After all, how many times have we said "Well, that animal is extinct." and then found that animal a few weeks later?

By denotation, but you have to remember connotation as well. The term werewolf automatically triggers the notion that biting someone else turns that person into a werewolf too. I'll cede the point that the dictionary definition fits you, but there is an important distinction to be made.

I knew that vampire and zombie bites turn you into one of them, but I've never heard this about werewolves.

Beam Yosho the Drunkard · 05-19-2005, 02:47 AM

^Yep. Just like Vampires and Zombies.

Masamune · 05-19-2005, 08:39 AM

I was bit by a woman, now I turn into one at a full moon.

It doesn't matter if the Sheikah or dead or not. The Nazis was defeated, but that doesn't stop neo-Nazi groups from existing. Carrying on a 'dead' tradition is not unheard of, no reason it can't happen in Zelda. Having Sheikah-liek symbols and stuff just means that someone is carrying on the tradition. And it seems fitting that Zelda would be the one to do it.

Bonnie Longley · 05-19-2005, 09:23 AM

That thought brings something else to mind.

The Nintendo people are telling us that this game takes place a few decades after OoT. I assume this means a few decades after Link puts the sword back in...making him and Zelda about 30-40 years old.

Now we know that this is a new Link. But what about Zelda? Here we see Zelda wearing Sheikan robes, carrying on the tradition stated in OoT that the Sheikahs were the protectors of the Royal Family (since it was said somewhere that Zelda wears the robes to protect her from transforming in the Twilight area). Is this a new Zelda, or is it the same one from before?
