The Legend of Zelda Discussion

I'm replaying Windwaker and I don't remember anything. All I remember was the first two dungeons, Outset Island, the fortress place, and Windfall Island. Everything else is a complete blank.

Like for example, I jumped into the cauldron in the first dungeon and I was so confused. When I jumped into the second one and I warped, the first thing I thought of was Banjo-Kazooie. It's the exact same thing!!!

Damn, what I'd give to trade places with you there, bornforthis. The Wind Waker is one of the games I have just about perfectly memorized over the years and I can only imagine how awesome it must be to play it again with most or all of your memories of it gone.

I'll have to give it a chance later this year. I played through it once and I promised myself to never play it again. The second half of the game was SO boring. I hated the sea, everything was too far away. Good music though.

I actually really like the Great Sea. There's tons of random events that happen. Plus, it leads to the possibility of multitasking. Link can ride into the ocean while I can enjoy the music and check something online or eat a snack at the same time.

I found this a few months ago. It's pretty awesome what they are doing.

"The Zelda Project is a Los Angeles, CA based group of fans who seek to bring to life the characters, settings, and overall feel of Ocarina of Time through photography and film.

A labor of love, this project combines all aspects of art from costuming & photography to CGI visual effects. Our end goal is that we hope those of you who view our work are brought a little bit more into the world of Hyrule through our art."

I like this a lot, but I'd only buy Link to the Past's map.

Just for the record (in case anyone will replay it): in The Legend of Zelda you can save at any time by pressing Up + Select in the Start menu. It has the same effect as dying.

Hm maybe.... But I was under the impression that it was a pretty straight port.
A simple visit to gamefaqs.com will probably solve the mystery.

By the way, does anyone here visit ZeldaUniverse? The forums are pretty active and full with interesting discussions. Maybe a bit too many nerds who take the Zelda timeline(s) really serious!

If you want, Canyarion, you can post my Zelda idea there if there are a lot of posters at ZU. Went down like a lead balloon here, but maybe an actual Zelda community would get more out of it?

Post it yourself. It's a fun forum, especially if you like theorizing (or discussing the timeline). Nice chaps there, also good moderation.
Edit: oh, also really good discussions about all the Zelda games.

Some supposed "Inside info" on Zelda Wii U.

"Nintendo has assembled the biggest team ever to work on a game at Nintendo EAD 3 in Japan. "They got hundreds of people working on the new Wii U Zelda game", which still hasn't got an official subtitle. The development is once again led by Eiji Aonuma, who has been working on the game with his team since late 2010.
"It's a 4-year development cycle with a new console, new technology, new engine etc. It'll end up being the most expensive game they've made to date. It's a huge investment for them in money and manpower, this is Rockstar/GTA territory". Nintendo originally planned to release the game in Fall 2013 to strengthen the Wii U against the new consoles from Microsoft and Sony, but apparently that didn't turn out to be realistic. "They targeted a 2013 release, but quickly abandoned that goal. This is the biggest project they've ever done, no way is it gonna be ready for Q3 2013. At least from where I see it"."

I had a dream last night where Miyamoto told me that Zelda U was coming out in 6 months, but they had managed to keep it a secret, and I was the only person that new about it. My dreams just got crushed.

I'm pretty sure it's fake. It's just a mix of logical, random and fan dream stuff.

Rumors that turn out to be true always come in small snippets, not 1 huge announcement like this.

I felt the same way, I just found it interesting. You never know with these things. haha

I'm still hoping my dream comes true.

With all the time it took them to make SS, I don't expect the next Zelda within 2 full years. They're making a huge graphical leap this time too... Unless the Xenoblade guys and/or Retro Studios are helping them, they have a lot of hard work to do.

Is anyone ordering that Figma Link figure? I'm almost certainly going to. I like posable action figures... and this time it's Link!! I'm still trying to figure out the cheapest place to buy it from.
