I was looking through Games and to my surprise there was no Zelda thread. :o So here it is. My favourite: Ocarina of Time. No matter how many times I beat it, I always find myself playing it again. Of course, thi thread isn't only for OoT. Talk about any Zelda game here.

MMmm, yes. Zelda is very good. I'm secretly in love with Link.

Well, i guess it's not much of a secret anymore, huh? lol

I have the very first one in all it's Golden Glory. My friend came over once and saw that i had it and the first final fantasy. He says i'm very old school and I just stared at him.

Anywho, I recently beat The windwaker. I got it in February and had to squeez it in between Finals. I love it! Yargh! I can't wait for the second one!!! *runs in crazed frenzy*

great series....anyone who likes it should go to the forums in my sig....

greatest game in the series is Majora's Mask. why? cos i love sidequests ^^

Fierce Diety's Mask pwned the rest. :bigsmile:

amen to that!

favorite mask that can be used anywhere? mine'd be the zora

i loved the original zelda from nintendo!

so fun...and yet so hard...i don't even think i had beaten it! ah well....i think my mom threw away my nintendo....i still have a few games left too.

I only played one or two Zelda series on game boy . . . never finished any though, hehe. Ocarina of Time was great, although I only watched it played by my brother . . . I can't wait for the next Zelda to come out on game cube! Any of you guys see the E3 video?

All Zelda games kick butt. My favorite is Ocarina of Time. I'm working on Link's Awakening, but I can't get anywhere! I'm stuck on the mountains!

I'm currently playing A Link to the Past. I have all the pendants and I'm in the Dark World, lost in this maze thing.

My favorite game would have to be Majora's Mask. It was just so different. I also like the themes from Link's Awakening, but I've never actually beaten it; my game's defective, it doesn't have any memory. The moment I turn my gameboy off, the file I was playing on gets erased. If you shake the cartridge, you can actually hear stuff sliding around. It's a game / maraca / vintage paperweight. A pretty good buy, if you ask me. :whistle:

I'm playing Link to the Past at the moment - I like it (I've got the first pendant - go me!) but I tend to get frustrated with games where you die loads because I don't have the fastest of reflexes when it comes to killing things without getting killed first! That's why I liked Secret of Mana - the AI sucked so you could run away without them coming after you ;)

I'm really excited about The Minish Cap. The old 2-D Zelda games were my favourite. I also want to get Four Sword Adventures and play with my friends ^_^

What's wrong with you guys? Wind Waker is the best!!! I love how you are more...free to rome the world. That is what made Ocarina of Time so great, and Majora's Mask, you could rome around huge worlds, and didn't have to stay focused on one mission. Here, rather then being on just one general area, your SAILING to islands and stuff. I just LOVE that, how you can visit islands and people and stuff. I wish I was in that game.

The sidequests are fun, you don't get epona unfortunately, but you get new techniques somewhat, and you can even take enemey weapons!!! The only thing I really hate about this game is that the "link" in this game isn't really the real link, nor is the zelda or anyone else. Only Ganondorf.

There are like four or five Links.

The GameBoy Links are one of the same, all on different quests at different times in his life. Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask were the same Link. Zelda 1 and 2 were the same as well. A Link to the Past is a descendant of the Hero of Time (OoT and MM)



:)

I like Link to the Past and Wind Waker cause its old school and that link in WW makes funny faces when he gets hurt or something. :ph34r: :boo:

The classic zelda on nintendo.. kept me busy for so long.. =_=
well, A link to the past is imo still the best made zelda.

I agree! Even though i beaten it 4 times! and i still get stuck at some parts.

heh.. forgetting bits in the middle.. like.. "i know its better to go to xth dungeon first" but then you forgot that "i need this item" to get there and then you get stuck X_X

That is sooo true........ :think:

Ocarina of Time is the best. I could play that game a million times. The storyline is great an I love the gameplay.

ah...i'm playing zelda:ocarina of time currently. very fun.

anyways....i KNOW that my favorite out of al the zelda games will be the new The Legend of Zelda coming out in one or two years. i look forward to that in the future. anyone seen the trailer? it's totally different from all the other 3D Zelda games.

you mean the minish cap

the what cap?

Which Zelda i lov best huh ..ahhh that's hard X_X

hmmm i alike most here really enjoy "Ocarina of Time" gotta lov the challenge...it tolk me so long :heh: (got stuck like every second) *oh boy i suck...*

I also like the gameboy colour ones "Oracle of Ages" and "Oracle of Seasons" ^_^ ...they're kinda easy but i lov the fact that they are "linked together" i played ages first (to me ages is way easier then seasons!) then fought the last boss in seasons...

OMG , THE original Zelda from nintendo...glad to know many ppl has as much problems as me in that game. I LOV THIS VERSION TO DEATH...^_^ i think it's the first game i ever played in english (u can just imagine my difficuties :heh: ) ...ahhh memorys~~

The Minish Cap is a new zelda game. I don't know much except that Link finds this hat that shrinks him down to the size of theese little people or something.

Lol, do you mean Majora's Mask? Anyways, I'm playing both Wind Waker and Ocarina of Time. Wind wakers fun for exploring, and Ocarina has its music.

When did this happen? He never putted on a hat that i ever seen but a mask. :boo:

Like I said, I don't know much about it

The Minish Cap is being made by Flagship Studios (the subsidary of Capcom the was created to make the Zelda Oracle games). It was revealed at last E3 and was just a little overshadowed by the more realistic Gamecube Zelda coming out. It uses the isometric point of view that was utilised in LoZ, Loz:LTTP, LoZ:LA and the two Oracle games. Unlike the Oracle games Flagship uses all new graphics and it has a very fluid unique look to it.

The wayt the shrinking works is that in the overworld, the shrunken link will only be two or three pixels high but there will be a magnified representation of him in a little bubble on screen. When shrunken in specefic dungeons, he will appear normal size but everyithing else will be bigger (much like Pikmin). Unfortunaltely the hat also talks so there may be another extremely annoying helper to add to the ranks of Navi.

If you want to see movies of it there are a couble at gameboy.ign.com.

Edit: I think Capn was talking about the new Gamecube Zelda game.

I'm almost 100% positive that Nintendo is coming out with a new 3D Zelda (Yay! no more cel-shading :) ) that's supposed to come out in 2005. They still havn't come up with the title past "The Ledgend of Zelda." I don't know much about it, but the screen shots I've seen are amazing! I also heard that you can weild your sword on horseback. How cool is that.

I didn't know that Flagship was making a new Zelda game. I'll have to check it out.

If you like the screenshots you should check out the video. Don't go to nintendo.com for the video because it has far worse music than the trailer shown at E3. IGN should have it easily available.

Another thing that's cool about the new Zelda is they're returning to a slightly more isometric camera. In the dungeons the camera will pan out to an overhead view like the classic 2d dungeons of yore. When an enemy comes on screen the camera will zoom in into the z-targeting view we all know and love.

My favorite is Majoras mask, took me the longest to complete...can finish of OOT in less than a week, including all hearts and scultular tokens.

windwaker was a bit too easy

Took me three days to beat MM. They shouldn't have put in that slow down time song. (Song of Time reversed)

If they didn't put in the slow down song then there wouldn't have been enough time to complete dungeons.

I didn't know about the Reverse Song of Time untill after the first dungeon. It took me forever to complete it, what with restocking my supplies and all. I've learned my lesson.

i played Ocarina, Links awakening, Oracle of Seasons & Wind Waker...
i liked Ocarina but wind waker was also pretty good, espesially since there was all that reference to Ocarina

Best Zelda Games

1. Ocarina of Time (By far...)
2. Original
3. Link's Awakening

Fav's

1. OoT/OoT:master quest (same thing kinda, same story atleast)

2. i'm sorry, but Wind waker...the fighting was just so...ungodly

3. ugh...Oracle of Ages, lol, that was a damn good game...


no offense to anyone out there, but MM disgusted me, it...i dunno...it was unique, that can be said for sure, i guess i just prefer my zelda games have something to do with hyrule. but for the record, i only watched my friend play MM, but it was still kinda dumb...and c&#39;mon, link needs something to play music on......>.<

Speaking of music, anyone ever heard of the Legend of Zelda song by System of a Down?

No, what&#39;s it like?

OO, I remember listening to it...but I forgot how it went. x.X

Anyway, I like OoT the best&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; >D

It&#39;s kinda funny. I can&#39;t find the Mp3 for it though. -_-

His Name was link&#33; He went to Town&#33; He went to save, The Princess Zelda&#33;

"Now link, he come to town, come to save, the princess Zelda, Ganon put her away, now the children don&#39;t play, but they will when link saves the day, Hallaleujah&#33; (is that how ya spell it? lol) Now link, fill up your hearts, so you can shoot, your sword with power, and when you&#39;re feeling all down, the fairy will come around, so you be brave and do not be a coward. Now Link&#33; has saved the day&#33; But ganon, yeah he&#39;s gone now&#33; So now zelda is free, and now a hero shall be LINK&#33; i think your name shall go down into his-to-ry&#33;

hehe, i have the mp3, System of a down ftw...Zelda ftw...how can you lose?

(jeez, i&#39;ve got too much time on my hands, sitting here listening to a mp3 and spelling out for ya&#39;ll...heh)

- ope doh

I hate that song with a passion. If Koji Kondo were dead he&#39;d be spinning in his grave.

I think that Link to the Past is the best Zelda and Link&#39;s Awakening is my favourite Zelda. Ocarina of Time was good but I feel Wind Waker and Majora&#39;s Mask are just as good. Wind Waker also foregoes the pointless philosophical friendship and love bullshit that bogged down Oot and MM (Sheiks horrible dialogue). Wind Waker would be the best in the series if it was just slightly harder and if they hadn&#39;t included the fetch quest at the end. Zelda is still my favourite series though and my second favourite game.

Wind Waker is given little credit. I&#39;m not to crazy about the graphics, but I must admit they were beautiful. The story line was good too. Last for the little time I had to indulge in the game, I&#39;d say that the gameplay was great.

I think WW&#39;s gameplay easily bested Ocarina&#39;s if for no other reason than the completel camera control and updated battle system. Also, even though there were less dungeons than usual, they were huge and brilliant. I don&#39;t think the storyline itself was what made me love the story of WW. It was more the storytelling. Two moments stand out to me as examples of the beautiful ftorytelling in Wind Waker. The opening because I&#39;ve only ever seen one opening to a game that was as understated and effective. Not only that but the arrangement of the main theme with medieval instrumentation was perfect. Also, I will try and stay away from spoilers but the first time you go in the castle was so very creepy and sad that it was almost worth the price of the game in itself for me. As I said before, Wind Waker would have been pretty much perfect if they had just made it slightly harder, maybe made an average hit take away half a heart intead of a quarter heart, that would have been enough.

the best moment for me in wind waker was the scene where you meet the Deku Tree it brought back a lot of memories..

That&#39;s true. I liked the way they referred to Ocarina of Time so often. It added continuity to the series for once and added to the post apocalyptic feel. The gorons are now nomads, the Zora and the Kokiri evolving or changing. Especially providing an actual basis for the Legend of the "Hero of Time".

i have a question:you know at the bar a sailor says not to drop bait in the open sea or people will drag you underwater(Zoras). Did anyone find them?

the only zora i knew of was the spirit in one of the temples...it&#39;s been a while since i beat that game tho, i went back and started it again, in one night i got to like the forest temple, but haven&#39;t played since

I don&#39;t think I ever had that conversation, time to play through the game again I guess.

I&#39;m not sure if they&#39;re there to be found. I still think the bird people are actually the Zora evolved. It makes sense when you see that Laruto is the spirit inside Medli since Fado was the spirit inside Makar and the game went ahead and made the connection between the Kokiri and the Makar clear. Wow, that&#39;s a confusing sentence, let me say the short version.

Medli is changed Zora because Ruto is Zora and this is parallel to Makar being a changed Kokiri and having the sage spirit be a Kokiri.

I read somewhere that the Zoras weren&#39;t an aquatic race but a race of nature, meaning they could adapt to any environment, so Zoras turning into bird people is a definite possibility.

i heard that the Gorons evolved into the Bird People.It makes sence since theres a mountain,a dragon & dins fire-just like in OoT

I just think they allude to it so often that tha&#39;s what their intention was all along. After all, two dungeons were removed from the game becaue they weren&#39;t working and who knows what story was meant to go along with those.

Edit: It kind of makes more sense since that&#39;s obviously Death Mountain the Rito live in but there are Gorons in the game as Gorons and not spirits and the Rito resemble the Zora quite a bit in physical structure.

btw the room where you fight puppet Ganon was so cool. The only thing i regreted is that there was no Shadow Link as a boss or mini-boss. To me he was the hardest boss to beat...

It took me forever to fight the snake version of Ganon and I was glad at elast one boss offered up some real challenge. I liked all the other bosses but it was more an apprecitation for the brilliant design and graphics then an urge to go beat all of them again. However, Ganondorf gets my vote as best boss. The battle with Ganondorf was relatively easy (even by WW standards) but really, what&#39;s cooler then swordfighting with Ganondorf?

swordfighting with your perfect clone. i was fighting him forever, and when i ran out of all items(arrows,bombs), had like 3 hearts left, i started running away from him cause i didnt want to lose. Then when he got close i used Dins Fire&#33; you know how thing slow down when you use it, well, he tried to run away from it but wasnt fast enough.I killed him with only 3hearts. Thats what i call luck

I think overall, the most memorable battle I can think of in the Zelda series is the battle with Ganon in Ocarina. I spent two hours fighting him. I neglected to realize that the Biggoron sword can&#39;t actually finish him off. It will do damage but the last couple of blows need to be with the Master Sword. On the upside, I got very good at running under his legs and slashing his tail.

whats your favourite/funniest enemy (henchmen)?

the rats in WW&#33;&#33;your concentrating on trying to kill a strong enemy and they distract you like hell&#33;&#33;&#33; bastards steal your hard-earned rupees as well...

Favourite henchmen eh? I&#39;d say those little black things from windwaker that cling on to you. They don&#39;t hurt you and it&#39;s funny watching Link try to walk when he&#39;s coverred in them. They make a funny sound too.

did you see the movie "Critters I,II,III" well thats what they remind of...

in OoT the Shadow thingies that returned you to the begining of the dungeon; the shield eaters were also annoying

Oh, those hands pissed me off so much. I didn&#39;t mind the Like-Likes that much but they do get annoying if you don&#39;t realize they&#39;ll eat you&#39;re shield.

Wallmasters, floormasters, and like-likes don&#39;t compare to re-deads and gibdos in my book. They&#39;re just so creepy :ph34r:

But redead are so funny in MM when you get the gibdo mask. They dance.

Yes, I could watch them all day, But instead I kill them. To bad they don&#39;t die. :(

Anyone ever read any of the Legend of Zelda mangas?

No, never. Are they official? I&#39;ve only ever seen that horrible cartoon that was packaged in with the Super Mario Bros. Super Show.

I&#39;m pretty sure they&#39;re official.

Hammer is the easiest thing to kill him with, i kill him in no time.

I tried that, didn&#39;t work for me

MM was also pretty good(at least some parts). the thing i missed in WW was the fairies(Navi and Talt) ;in MM she was so funny-you asked her something and half the time she said something like "omg you dont know what that is and how to kill it&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; well never make it...". also the way the added acrobatics to Links jumps was cool...

They weren&#39;t the worst thing tin the world. They were based more off the first game. I wish that they had more of those on the tape of the Mario show (yes I have tapes of the Mario show).

Oh, and Shiggers: Biggoron&#39;s sword is the best thing to kill him with. I&#39;m in love with Biggorn&#39;s sword, but it was hell to get. I could never get the eyedrops to that huge Goron in time&#33; It took me like, 3 times. I was about to eat the N64.

Congratulations, your wish has been granted. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=307&item=4029663788&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW#ebayphotohosting)

There&#39;s also one to Majora&#39;s Mask that was being given away as a free promotion for a while and it had a lot of Ocarina music on it.

whoa man, all the Zelda music was awesome, where do i sign up?

wow so cheap...

I cleaned my aunt&#39;s house for the whole day for a lousy &#036;20. lol
Edit: She has a huge house :x and 2 stupid cats that shed like crazy.

Hey, you only wished that it existed, not that you had one. There&#39;s only so much I can do.

I think we should talk about the one thing in Zelda everyone has plenty of theories on: The timeline. Here&#39;s my timeline for it and the reasons.

First, Ocarina of Time. It gave all the backstory to the Zelda lore and just makes sense as the first game. Obviously MM takes place either during or right after Ocarina. I&#39;d say right after because it makes a lot more sense that way, you don&#39;t need to think of it as a story within a story then.

After MM comes the Oracle games. The opening to those show link riding Epona to Hyrule castle so it makes sense that it happens directly after Ocarina/MM. At the end of those two Link sails away so it makes sense that the next one would be Link&#39;s Awakening, which starts with Link on a sailboat. After that, this Link couldgo back to Hyrule and find it flooded or he could have just not made it back to Hyrule.

Next comes Wind Waker. It states that it occurs 100 years after Ocarina and the post Wind Waker String has a different looking Hyrule. After the events of Wind Waker all is good for a while and the different Deku sprouts make a new Hyrule.

The first game set in the new Hyrule is the original Zelda because that hyrule has practically no civilization. Then comes Link to the Past because the World is more like the original Zelda but far more populated. Last is Link&#39;s Adventure where there are many different towns so it is essentially the most advanced version of Hyrule. All of the Links from Wind Waker and on are different Links.

That&#39;s my view of the timeline, feel free to poke holes in it and debate. Please post your own version if you think I&#39;m totally wrong.

1000 years not a 100... where does Links Awakening fit?

I said Link&#39;s awakening fits after the oracle games.

According to the director (http://cube.ign.com/articles/379/379358p2.html) of the Wind Waker, it takes place 100 years after Ocarina.

sorry i thought it was 1000....

it says at the beginning of Wind Waker that 1000 years ago a hero sealed away a powerful evil force.

so...someone made a fukup

so i was right&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; the guy just made a mistake during the interview. thanks Voltaeru

Voltaeru, where exactly does it say 1000 years? It isn&#39;t in the opening video at all and I just don&#39;t remember seeing it. I&#39;m not saying you&#39;re wrong because after seeing all the media outlets report 100 years, I would automatically read 1000 as 100 but I just can&#39;t seem to find where it clarifies it.

ugh...get out the game...start a new file...then play it until you&#39;re about to leave with the pirates.

it&#39;s somewhere in there

if i must i will go dig out the system and game...

Hmm... I just played through Wind Waker from the beginning to leaving on the pirate ship and the only mention of time is "Long Ago". I think Nintendo was just indecisive about the timeline as usual and decided to leave it vague. I&#39;m going to continue playing, maybe the King will mention an exact time at some point but for now either of us could be right.

BTW, I like your timeline Elite. I think its rather cohesive and everything seems to fit. I&#39;m not much of a Zelda fanatic so I can&#39;t really poke holes or anything, but I have played most games, and Ocarina, IMHO, still stands as one of the best games of all time.

I wasn&#39;t aware Majora&#39;s Mask even fitted into the timeline properly though.

i gave some thought to the 1000/100 years problem and i think that either the Deku Tree says 1000 or the King of Red Lions when talking to...uh...the big fish(damn i forgot his name)

Well, Nintendo always said it&#39;s an alternate dimension but I think that&#39;s because they&#39;re the mortal enemies of cohesiveness. Really, I can&#39;t see why it couldn&#39;t be directly after Ocarina since Link becomes young again. The only real argument that could be raised about that is that he wouldn&#39;t have the Ocarina of Time if it happened afterwards.

Moe, that just brings back too many painful memories.

I&#39;m also not really doubting that it&#39;s probably 1000 years, after all games love increments of 1000 years. I just want to be sure and it&#39;s a good excuse to play the game over again.

I finally beat Link&#39;s Awakening&#33; :D

I guess that&#39;s what you get for sepnding the weekend in Amish Paradise.

Link&#39;s Awakening is my favourite Zelda. It had such great puzzles and dungeons. I wasn&#39;t as fond of Link&#39;s Awakening DX though. The extra dungeon kind of threw off the balance and the pacing of the game.

Yeah, I beat Link&#39;s Awakening DX. Pretty good game&#33;&#33; .............What was up with that windfish&#33;&#33; :eyebrow:

I dunno.

I wish that the enemies were a bit harder. Once I got the level two sword everything was easy, except the boxing penguin.

The game was easy and predictable... I beat it in fith grade without the help of the internet or anything... It&#39;s still a good game though. Empression of link in that game: (Hey look&#33; A giant fire monster&#33; How do I beat it&#33;?&#33; I know&#33; I&#39;ll shoot fire balls at it&#33;) What&#33; Oh well. The last boss was really dissapointing too. In his last form just throw a boomerang at it twice...wow... <_<

you guys seen the pics for the new Zelda?
they look like a movie

I just saw a trailer for the new game. Wow, Link has a lot of detail&#33; :w00t: But some of the cinematics could use some work. Not everything flows a smoothly as some of the other games I&#39;ve seen.

None of that are FMV cutscenes. That&#39;s all done with the in game engine and with someone at the controller. Only the camera angle was modified. Pretty damn good for a game that&#39;s still a year away from release I&#39;d say. Unfortunately, Nintendo won&#39;t likely implement any actual FMV since they&#39;ve always held that all cutscenes should be done using the in-game engine. On the other hand the in game engine already looks better than most games&#39; FMV cutscenes.

can anyone tell me what The 4 Swords on GC is about?

I think it&#39;s about Link activating something, causing an evil to escape and him to spilt into 4 separate people, somewhere in that ballpark

HAahahahah.... man so I am not the only one who watched those cartoons&#33; XD.

AS for the 1000 or 100 year thing i am pretty darn sure that it is 100. X__X

Anyone ever read the manga for the games?

I have read everyone except Oracle of ages via Zeldanodensetsu.com .... i was currently trying to finish up oracle of ages but for some reason the site does not seem to be responding (i am like a hordcore zelda fan XD)

MInish cap soon to be released *hums happily*

For some reason i have not been keeping up to date on the minish cap. When is it&#39;s release date? i might just go pre-order it (now that i have a job ^_^)

Wind Waker is so addicting once you get into it. I wonder what the new Zelda will be about. I&#39;m just dieing to know. When&#39;s the new Zelda going to be realeased anyways?

No one really knows. Have you seen the E3 tralier?

Yes, I&#39;ve seen the E3 trailor a while ago, but I would think it would take much less than a year to finish. Then again, I&#39;ve never really been in one of those organizations, hehe :)

Nintendo is saying a summer 2005 release but it&#39;s more likely that it will be a Holiday season release. I think Nintendo really wants to make sure it works so they will be keeping it in development until it&#39;s perfect.

Either that or they want to wait for more money. It&#39;s going to be a hot game, I can tell.

what do you think about the one for the GBA "the Minish cap"?

Either that or they want to wait for more money. It&#39;s going to be a hot game, I can tell.
I don&#39;t think it&#39;s just about the money. Nintendo seems to be one of the few companies that realizes games released in the first three quarters of the year can sell well too. I do believe Nintendo cares a lot about the money as they&#39;ve shown themselves to be excessively greedy in the past but I think they know that the better the game is, the more money they&#39;ll make because the Zelda series will continue to sell.

As for the Minish Cap, I&#39;m very interested. It seems to be very Zelda-esque in its gameplay but actually progresses the 2d Zeldas. My only reservation is that, like the Oracle series, Flagship will just spew out a whole bunch of old Zelda stuff instead of really trying something new. Don&#39;t get me wrong, I loved the Oracle games but they had no orginality. Almost everything was ripped from a past Zelda game.

^^ nintendo greedy? The people that stand defiantly against online gaming which is booming? the people who still don&#39;t put dvd players in their system, because they believe gaming should be gaming, greedy? idealistic maybe greedy i don&#39;t understand.

as for the games i am just extatic... i saw them E3 and have been hyper since... i seriously need to chill cause i have about a year more to wait for the GC zelda so i am ganna burn myself out if don&#39;t chill...XD

I agree with Kratos&#33; And God bless you forb having Kratos as your avatar and part of your name&#33; Anyways... The reason why people say Wind Waker sucks is cause there put off by cell shading. I don&#39;t know why people don&#39;t like cell shading cause it&#39;s cool. But you must also have fully renderd graphics too. They both are great&#33; so is Quasi-cell shading&#33; Even though cell is tight n all I don&#39;t think Link should be cartoony... EVER&#33; Link&#39;s a cool serious hero of time. Cell just doesn&#39;t work with him&#33;&#33; I don&#39;t know much about the new game but I&#39;m hoping they do a Tured based; Not real Time RPG&#33; I mean come on&#33; They have Mario RPG, MARIO&#33; Link&#39;s the perfect RPG hero... Perfect. I just dream of seeing him bounce around in a ready pose then leap foward in some super mysticle sword move obliterating Ganon. And&#33; And&#33; And&#33; Bam&#33; (The sound of me crashing on the floor because I fainted out of excitement and drool is... you know what... I&#39;ll shutup now...)

Yep, you&#39;re right Moe.

I think that people were pissed because with the gamecube having the capability to feel like you&#39;re playing a movie or something, most people felt the cell approach as a step back(or at least I feel that way). They just wanted something better than what the OOT graphics on N64(which were cutting edge for it&#39;s time) left behind. Catch my drift?

Sorry, I&#39;m just kind of rambling.

I feel so pathetic. I&#39;m almost done printing out the Oot manga. Heh, I still have to print the other ones&#33; XD

Nice pics sondagger....esspecially the miroku one...

wiat hang on......Legend Of Zelda Rocks if u guys(and girls) need any help pm or e-mail k? g2g bye

Actually, the things I&#39;ve heard most people complain about with Wind Waker is that it&#39;s too easy or that sailing is boring not that the graphics are bad. The graphics tend to put off a lot of non-gamers but it is far from the biggest complaint I&#39;ve heard about the game. Also, the cel-shaded (cel not cell) graphics completely fit the whimsical feel of the game and harken back to the roots of the Zelda series. The people that have the most problems with them are the ones who usually refer to Oot as "The first Zelda".

As for the new Gamecube Zelda being turn-based RPG, I highly doubt it. Zelda has never been an RPG so it would seem odd to make it one (action based or otherwise). Also, the movie of the new Zelda was made using the in-game engine so it&#39;s obvious the same style of fighting as the other 3d Zeldas have employed.

I cannot see Zelda as turn-based. More like an rp, yes, but the fighting in zelda I believe would be much better in real time.

Hey long time no see here, well as its getting damn adicticting and my fingers are starting to get cramp (rare for me)

The newer Legend of Zelda (doesn&#39;t have a full name, yet) will probably come out late fall, 2005. And The Minish cap would come out in January/February 2005. (In the U.S.A.)

A good thing about the unnamed Legend of Zelda is that you can attack while riding Epona (with your sword). The tunic is even changed; it has a tougher look to it. They wanted to make not-so-kiddish game. And it&#39;s not turn-based.

I know little about the Minish Cap, except that the cap makes you small.

You know when I was talking about turned based Zelda I wasn&#39;t asking if the next one was I was saying they should make one... They need a better selection of melee weapons for Link...

then it wouldnt be zelda, turn bassed combat does fit with this style of gaming

i think the selection of melle wepons is ok, but im stubbon and oldfasion when it comes to games

Considering Zelda&#39;s focus really isn&#39;t combat it doesn&#39;t need more melee weapons. However, maybe they&#39;ll do a system like Wind Waker where you can pick up enemy weapons but slightly expand it so you can do more. Actually picking up more weapons and having them in your inventory seems odd though considering how many other items you get.

Either your disgreeing with me cause turned based Zelda is a bad idea or your misunderstanding. To make it clear when I say "turned based RPG" I&#39;m talking about games like for example: Final Fantasy 7; NOT like Final Fantasy Tactics Yeah... you should be able to keep the items enemies drop. I really like all the moves (The rolling, dodging, jumping) you can do in Wind Waker. But the master sword doesn&#39;t shoot in this game&#33; It should be if you have full health and you do the stabbing tech. then you shoot. That would solve that problem without losing any fighting abilities&#33; All that are disagreeing with me (That&#39;s everyone lol) have probably played Mario RPG (or Paper Mario as they call it now) Just think about that for a sec. If you think Zelda RPG is some crazy outlandish Idea think if you just heard that Mario RPG was coming out and they never had that before. Sounds crazy huh? Yep well that crazy idea is a huge hit&#33; Okay I&#39;ll give it up&#33;

hey legend of zelda is the best game alive....almost.....meh&#33;

hey legend of zelda is the best game alive....almost.....meh&#33;http://http://www.musogato.com/_jadeisland/_pics/favloz.jpg

double posting isn&#39;t a good thing to do and writig the same thing is also bad.

I think that zelda ocarina of time is the best because all of the classic games are better and especially nintendo 64/ super nintendo games. I had an N 64 and i beat that game unlimited times, i devoted 2 of my memory cards to different saves from zelda alone and i even had to say good bye to many of them because i didn&#39;t have enough room, Zelda is the best&#33;&#33;&#33; (besides halo 2)

I think Ocarina of Time was very revolutionary but not the best. The main reason I feel like this is because it really hasn&#39;t aged well. The graphics feel very dated, the battle system is slow and cumbersome after Wind Waker and the fact that you can&#39;t skip text or even speed it up in many cases makes it hard to deal with.

When I think of the best Zelda games I think of the ones that feel timeless. Most notable are Link to the Past and Link&#39;s Awakening. Although the graphics in Link to the Past are slightly dated they are very easy on the eyes and the whole game still feels fresh. As for Link&#39;s Awakening, this game could have been released yesterday and not felt out of place. It was so ahead of its time on the Gameboy that I don&#39;t think it will ever feel old. It isn&#39;t the most innovative title in the Zelda series but the experience is almost the epitome of Zelda and there isn&#39;t an actual flaw in the game that I can think of.

I think Wind Waker will also age extremely well but time will tell.

Zelda is the best (even with taking Halo 2 into account).

I liked Majora&#39;s Mask because it was the only Zelda game without Ganon as the evil mastermind behind everything.

If you don&#39;t bother counting Link&#39;s Awakening

After travelling back in time for the zillionth time MAjolra&#39;s Mask got a little annoying

Majora&#39;s Mask was just a middle-game that was released because of the long wait to the new Zelda game. Even Nintendo said so on a conferance =P

Topic Revival:

Since every single gaming magazine is already discussing The &#39;New&#39; Legend of Zelda, then its about time we start&#33;

Lets sart off talking about the graphics: we all know that thats certaintly not the most important thing, but the average consumer does not. I saw the trailers, some nice screenshot, and im glad that graphics are better than average ^_^. btw, for the first time Zelda has(d) good competition - Prince of Persia 1 & 2; most people will probably be comparing them

hmmmm...ive got 4 of the gameboy games and 2 of the nintendo ones....only beat two of the gameboy ones, all the rest i put in my closet years ago, and take them out on the ocasional rainy day...lol anywho i was totaly considering buying a game cube just so i could play the new game lol but i dont have the money.... *sigh*

Zelda > any other Action-Adventure.

I&#39;ve got the SNES sequel, GB sequel, both N64 sequels, I plan to get Wind Waker (I already borrowed and finished it) and I emulated the NES games. I don&#39;t regret a single minute I&#39;ve played.

@wraith_dman: How did you save on Memory Card?
@Elite666: Ganon appears in the last battle of Links Awakening (it says so in the Official Walkthrough)

Fair enough, although considering in the game they call it a Nightmare and it&#39;s never referred to as Ganon in either the game or the manual then you can certainly see my point too. They also clarify the point that Sheik is male in the official manga and the Japanese version of OoT but there&#39;s still room for both points of view to be right. It&#39;s hard to really come to a conclusion when official documentation contradicts the game.

...and no one has mentioned the name for the &#39;new&#39; Legend of Zelda? bah it was released yesterday Show spoiler (javascript:void(0);)<span style="display: none;" id="QUOTE"> The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess </span>

it was not released yesterday, the E3 section for it was opened for it yesterday (or was it today.....it was today) well, it didnt come out yet.

Or did you mean the name of the game was relesed yesterday? well, that wasnt released yesterday too, i knew the name for it for a week now. i jus havent posted it because i dont really like zelda games, its almost the same thing over and over and over and over......its like a crappy version of final fantasy but you can only use one person....crap...its crap, its the same game but diffrent graphics and new monsters, just kill the damn girl so you dont have to find her&#33;

I personally find some of the challenges and puzzles appealing, but that&#39;s just me. Besides, you may think that they&#39;re crap and too easy, but I go without a guide.

Anyway, that&#39;s just me.

*snaps fingers in a circle motion 4 times*

well la-di-da&#33;

I never said i used a guide, but you probably wernt implying that any way...

*snaps fingers in a circle motion 4 time again*

well, i think they arnt pleasing because the graphics are always in a snes like resolution
or cell shaded and cartoony, i would like to see a final fantasy like one....look, theres one&#33;

*runs to [or more like type] and finds zelda and yells at her to stop getting lost so link can have a rest*

*zelda just cast a spell and kills me*

A crappy version of FF, eh? They are not comparable because the one is a brilliant RPG series, the other a brilliant Action-Adventure series. And the quintessence of all FF-storys is: the Rebels fight against a bad empire that wants to conquer (and destroy) the world. It isn&#39;t that innovative either.

@dreams-creation : In FF you can&#39;t actually control the characters to perform the kickass moves that they do. The fighting is another element of skill involved. You probably just don&#39;t have it :bleh: FF is about tactics and brain power. Zelda is a mixture of both tactics and fighting style. I&#39;ve never played final fantasy though although I intend to one day. Whatever rocks your boat though...

Same here, I always beat a game by myself, using a guide and stuff only ruins the fun, plus I like that sense of achievement when you beat a game well by yourself :)

Nyah, I wuff Ocarina of Time&#33;&#33; <3 It&#39;s one of my all-time favorite games. *_* Most of the Zelda games are really good, though.

.

For those of you who don&#39;t know, the new zelda&#39;s called &#39;Twilight Princess&#39;.
*awkward silence* I have to admit I was a little put off by it at first, but once I saw the E3 &#39;05 trailer, I forgot the title completely. It looked that good.

My favorite zelda game is &#39;a link to the past&#39; it was the first one I ever played ^_^

The thing I look forward to most is bieng able to use weaponry on horseback. :D

Edit: Dreams-Creation- I forgot to mention that not all the Zelda games revolve around Link rescuing her. I suggest that you look into all the games before you make the accusations.

meh, your intitled to your own opinion...

and thats not compleatly true, what about final fantasy 10? or 11?


Whereas with the FF games it&#39;s "wheee&#33; Let&#39;s hit something and then wait for it to hit us back&#33;"

Seriously, who the hell does that when they&#39;re fighting someone? "Hey, buddy, I&#39;ve kicked your ass, now kick mine&#33;"

no, i bet you have only played FF 10 if you think like that. it is time based. so the people can attack at any time as long as the timer is done loading, so you can attack like 4 or 5 times if your fast before the oppenet can attack .....

i like kingdom hearts battle system..........

Didn&#39;t the two GB color ones not have to do with her? Oracle of Time and Oracle of Seasons, I think they were.

I wasnt able to get those... >.< I didnt have the money at the time, plus I forgot about them soon after... -_-

I think I know why the Legend of Zelda has Zelda&#39;s name in it instead of Links. The first game with mario as the hero was called Donkey Kong and the first game with Samus was called(And still is Metroid). So either Nintendo likes doing that or they&#39;re not good with names; In the first Donkey Kong mario was called jump-man. They didn&#39;t have the name mario till later. They probably just called the game what one main character in the game was called I&#39;m not sure about metroid but in Zelda Link&#39;s name didn&#39;t appear until the second game. This is my theory.
The one with the wind fish and the seven instruments was Link&#39;s awakening and Link&#39;s awakening DX.
I&#39;ve played many of the FF&#39;s and Zelda&#39;s and I&#39;ve enjoyed them all... I guess that&#39;s just me though...
Since Nintendo doesn&#39;t have many mature titles maybe they need to add blood to the Zelda&#39;s. Not at all saying games without blood suck or games with blood are better just that Zelda&#39;s a good title and it would do well with an older audience. Although I have found the Zelda&#39;s a little to easy. Such as the extremely obvious hints by navi and others, the fighting(mainly) and I think the puzzles could be a little harder...

You&#39;re claiming OOT is easy?????? :o

It is easy... Ive played much harder games... In my newest file (second time through) Ive gotten every heart container and gold skulltula and bottle and every thing else. I haven&#39;t died once in that file and alls a have to do is go through ganon&#39;s castle and then fight gannon and I&#39;ll have beaten the game. I hear that (which highly doubt is true) is that when you get every thing and not die once and beat the game you supposedly get a secret ending or the triforce or something like that... well, we&#39;ll find out soon enough...

I&#39;ve played only Ocarina of Time and Majora&#39;s Mask, I think they are pretty interesting. I like Zelda games alot. I wish I could play the newer versions but don&#39;t have a gamecube XD

I didn&#39;t find it easy. I think you think that because you&#39;re used to playing zelda games which have the same sort of puzzles. That was the first zelda game I played, but after that you can spot similarities in other games. Either that or you&#39;re just a gaming guru (i.e. you play too much).
