I like all the "good stuff" they mentioned. In fact, I think there may have been a small awesome explosion inside my head.

As for Spirit Tracks, I have to say I'm disappointed. It looks too much like PH for it's own good. Especially considering PH was easily the weakest Zelda IMO.

That is ****ing awesome. Maybe Ganondorf will be a boss. And you it him with a train. And he'll be all, "MATARA KANG SUUUUUU" and still be alive. I was kinda hoping for a Wii game, though.

And it should be Space Twister. We controlled wind and time. We should control space. TOTALLY.

^I thought PH was a decent game. Liked it better than OoT, as crazy as that sounds.

Zelda Universe

Trailer. Looks a lot like PH, but appearance of Zelda makes me skeptical of where this game is on the time-line.

trains **** yeah

I am nobody · 03-25-2009, 04:24 PM

^^Huh? That's the WW appearance. Why does that make you skeptical?

Having watched the trailer, I'm even more disappointed. That knight thing would have been a great opportunity to co-op, instead of just another thing the player has to deal with. I also saw way to much stunning in that video, which makes me think this game is not going to help Nintendo's recent difficulty trend.

However, I'm always pessimistic about these games right after they're announced. I'm hoping this will be another instance where I'm wrong about how it comes out.

^They were still riding the ocean, last I checked. Also, that look was used in FS and I guess Minish Cap.

ZeldaGirl · 03-25-2009, 04:57 PM

You know, I think the cel-shading really works on the DS, so I kinda like that they've continued with the WW line.

**Cravdraa** · 03-25-2009, 05:14 PM

^Except that's not cellshading. =p

ZeldaGirl · 03-25-2009, 05:28 PM

^Sorry, forgot some words

I meant to say the "look of the" cel-shading (the style of look WW had), works well on the DS. I was busy watching the video and typing at the same time.

As Masamune has said before, the past N Zelda games (for a rather significantly large N, these days) have been named after either an important item in the game... or an important girl in the game. For once it'd be nice not to have that be the case.

That said, to have the "important item" this time around be a train? Eh... I'm always prone to be open-minded about things until I play it because, usually in the end, I'll like the games. However, things like this sometimes do make me idly wonder what the Zelda franchise is becoming...

You dare defy the train?

I'm still waiting for Legend of Zelda: The Lampshade of No Real Significance.

Metal Man · 03-25-2009, 10:40 PM

TRAINS OF DOOOM
It would be a welcome break from the drought of things, although for the I pity hardcore Zelda fans, who will likely begin to freak out as weird gimmick could mean a continuing gimmickization of the series...

CuccoLady · 03-25-2009, 10:46 PM

^^ Greatest bossfight ever.

Sadly it took me twenty minutes or so to realize that I could pull the dang plug. x{D

Anyway, I'm going to refrain from commenting for now. I rather enjoyed PH; it wasn't my absolute favorite, to be sure, but I thought it was fun and cool.

I agree with ZG on how the WW style looks on the DS.

So, I'm just going to wait for it to come out and then have something new to play in Algebra class. :{D

It's not the gimmicks in the games that bother me, the gimmickry controls that Nintendo is forcing everyone to use when playing all of it's games now. When I want to play a game, I want to play it with a traditional controller, not by drawing on a touch screen or flailing my arms around like a moron. Nintendo's ruining my games.
