I've had no urge to get the WiiU, but the mention of StarFox with the graphics shown for Zelda would probably get me to do it.

I'm not even sure why, I never played it outside of the SNES, but the nostalgia of it would be enough.

LINK

quote:

That trailer for the new Legend of Zelda for the Wii U sure looked great, didn’t it? But what was up with Link? He wasn’t wearing his iconic green tunic or hat. Why did Link look so weird?

“No one explicitly said that that was Link.”


That’s what Legend of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma told me when I asked him about Link’s, or whoever it is’, new appearance during an interview at Nintendo’s E3 booth. He said this with a smile and a laugh. Could the bow-wielding hero we just saw not be Link, the star of every game in the series history?

Earlier in the interview, Aonuma told me that he was always looking for ways to shake up the series conventions. We saw this in the recent A Link Between Worlds for the 3DS, which let you explore dungeons in any order you wanted while renting items from a store. But a Zelda game without Link as the main hero? That would be a huge blow to tradition.

So, who is that? The outfit actually looks like the same one Link wore in the beginning of The Wind Waker. Aonuma himself smiled when I brought up this connection. Could this new entry be tied to that universe? Of course, that doesn’t explain why this wouldn’t be Link. Maybe it’s a child of a Link we already played as, like the one from Wind Waker or Skyward Sword. Let the speculation begin.

Link is a reincarnated entity anyway. It can be Link without actually being Link.

Remember the Hero's Spirit in Twilight Princess? That was Link from Ocarina and Majora's Mask.

The Link in TP was his descendent. There has never been one Link.

Scruffy doesn't have time for sun.

And this is all just stuff that I know. Useless tidbits of knowledge in areas that aren't helpful in life.

As bad as I need to catch up on the Metroid series, my catching up on the Zelda series is even more embarrassing.

I feel very stupid for thinking that Nintendo was no longer a "real" gaming company.




But the sentiment is understandable. It seems like Nintendo are back to being creative en masse.

MM definitely has a better replay value. There is so much more to do in MM.

Personally, I like MM more, but to each their own.

I need to play through Majora's Mask again. I've played through Ocarina of Time multiple times but only once or twice with Majora's Mask.

Supposedly its available on the Wii shop but I've been preoccupied with MK8, Pikimin 3 and Xenoblade Chronicles

The gamepad makes the wii u a must have. Playing Mario 3D World while watching the Heat get blown out last night was glorious.
