Zelda: Twilight Princess Discussion (SPOILERS: BEWARE)

[Hellfire]

There's no difference if you're left handed or not you just need to slash the controller, the only thing is that Link is holding the sword in his right hand. Gameplay wise it bears no difference.

[Tellyn]

PAL version is rated 12+ Tellyn888.

Ya I knew that thanks Dante. :heh: I was just saying that there is blood in this game.

[Kraser]

If was only that it wouldn't make sense they changing the version of wii to a mirrowed one!
P.S: Não achas dude? XD (Portuguese Style :P)

[pedrocasilva]

Ya I knew that thanks Dante. :heh: I was just saying that there is blood in this game.We don't know for sure; might be only for one (or a few) cutscenes (like Ganon in OoT), or... they might even have considered the classic zelda style model tinting (Link blinking from red to normal) to be "animated blood", it's really that vague.If was only that it wouldn't make sense they changing the version of wii to a mirrowed one!The reasoning behind it was that most people are right handed, so it would feel more natural to them, there's no real problem in controlling it with other hand though.

[Dante]

Or get a big mirror and put it next to the telly.

[Tellyn]

Or get a big mirror and put it next to the telly.

He speaks the truth. :indeed:

[pedrocasilva]

Or get a big mirror and put it next to the telly.Besides, even if Nintendo doesn't throw the option in (really easily done), I'd bet gameshark could make it possible.

Also, Shigeru Miyamoto is left handed, so there's no way a thing that would harm the experience for left handed people would pass. He actually said he can't go back to the GC control scheme now.

(He can equaly use his right hand for most things, though).

[Kraser]

Well, i believe that i won't have too much troubles. I will only need time to get used to gamplay. I do a lot a things with my right-hand that i normally would do with the left, so i'll get used to it.

[Nintenchris]

The new ONM (out this Friday) has a Zelda Preview... and a SWEET Zelda cover thats aparently nice and shiny.... oh oh i like the shiny!
http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/ you can check out the cover there... but obviously not its shinyness!

[gmanprime]

Actually my T.V. has a mirror mode. The only problem is that the text would be backwards.

[Dante]

Ask Iwata Vol.5 Part 1 (http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/topics/interview/vol5/index.html) is about Zelda:TP but the translation will out next month. :sad:

Here is the bad translation by google. (http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nintendo.co.jp%2Fwii% 2Ftopics%2Finterview%2Fvol5%2Findex.html&langpair=ja%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=%2Flanguage_tools)

Eeeep!!! Preview ! :bouncy: You'll have to quote everything from it and put it in a spoiler thingie!!! Unless it'll be readable online!

Uuuuh, so excited... promise me you will if you're gonna buy it :love:

[Kraser]

Oh my god...! Another preview. Damn it! I believe that i won't come here any longer.... It's getting really dangerous now... No doubt it.

[Dante]

Ooccoo - a chicken homunculus with a human head - takes residence in your inventory and allows you to warp out and return to the exact same spot, should you need supplies

[solitanze]

^----- ???

[ultrajamie]

OMG!!!


There's a huge preview in the New edge.... they seem to absolutely love it.

They do completely tell you the first six hours of the game plot though... which annoyed me a bit...

BUT

They also said that six hours doesn;t even really get the game going... how huge is it?

Also... that Twilight princess gives you more to do in its introduction than most other zeldas have by their third dungeon!

[pedrocasilva]

Seems like Nintendo site was updated; with 2 Zelda videos:

it's not a joke... thats a phonetic japanese sound for the clucking of a chicken. the name is a joke, just a japanese one. the item really does exist.

First video, he does a vertical slash. I thought previous playtests were complaining about how even if you slashed vertically he would slash horizontally. Has it been changed?

[Knives]

Would someone please post that preview!???!! At least some of it!!! :cry:

In a spoiler box....

Question: Can you downthrust your sword into fallen enemies to finish them off like in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King game? That'd be a good use of the controller.

No idea...

I have the new ONM... havent read it yet but they have NEW Zelda pics... some that maybe would be considerd spoilers.. oh this game looks so sweet!!!!! I will read thro the Zelda preview later, and if theres any new stuff i will post it.

[Tellyn]

I'll have to do it later on in the month, I can't afford it at the moment.

So Wolf Link can Sense, Dig, and use Midna. I'm guessing B and A are attacks. Can Wolf Link see ghosts then in the Twilight World?

[Stefkov]

I aint got it yet, my mum just bought it this morning, but heres from the site what it looks like:

i wish i knew more about hyilian govenment :horse:

remember that screen that had the map of the feild

the movie of link fighting on horse back looks like the boarder between triet and iselia from tos.

Dear God would you shut up about review scores? GOD DAMN!
Anti-aliasing problems were common this last gen, so its normal Zelda has it, we all lived with it no one got blind because of it get over it.

[ZeldaFreak]

Not many days to go about 49 days then we will get it on, in the meanwhile however I have got a copy of magical starsign winging its way over here from canada. Should last me till the 17th then SvsR07 and GoW, and then em Children of Mana - i'll be pooped.

Must stop spending need to buy xmas presents aswell.

Oh and my dad wants to play a game of WiiGolf. he stopped playing games
around the time C64 came out

[Goron_3]

Seriously, review scores mean nothing. This game won't get reviews as high as OoT did because some reviewers are going to be idiots and mark it down because of graphics. Just forget the reviews and just enjoy the game.

[Dante]

The Twilight Realm sucks the life out of living creatures and turns them into something else.

They claim that while traveling to Hyrule Castle, Link is pulled into the Twilight Realm and turned into a Wolf (Edge said after being ambushed by the Moblins).

Midna approaches Link in his cell and promises to help him return his world to normal.

Wolf Link can climb up cliffs.

You use the A button to leap from branch to branch in Ordon Woods as Wolf Link.

People absorbed into the Twilight Realm are actually "still there". They're just phased out so nobody can see them.

You use the "sense" ability to sniff these beings who are sucked into the Twilight Realm out and "see" them, as well as to find hidden objects. It works like the Stone of Agony from Ocarina of Time, which utilized the Rumble Pak.

Wolf Link will be able to travel between the Twilight Realm and the normal world, confirming Wolf Link can exist outside the Twilight Realm (as Edge reported).

He can earn this ability by seeking out the "Twilight Spirit" - a being even the "Twilight Guardians" bow down to.

"Midna can exist outside the Twilight Realm in the strictest sense" is explained. Midna can't live outside the Twilight Realm, but you can summon her spirit outside of it for help (this is why Wolf Link doesn't have Midna on his back at all times).

The Wolf sections were not open to play to the press, Nintendo wants to keep it a secret to everyone (this means IGN probably won't play them, either - I seriously think IGN and other press will just play the beginning area and the first temple next week).

To date, NOBODY outside of Nintendo's employees have played anything in the Twilight Realm.

The Twilight Guardians are those "black" creatures.
http://www.thehylia.com/media/albums/userpics/10001/tp_guardians.jpg

Nintendo wants to make it clear that they will NOT be releasing much information about the game beyond this update and what American press will experience next week. They want everyone to just have enough info to make a purchase decision, but they insist on preserving the experience - so fans freaking out about spoilers - Nintendo has your back. ONM promises a huge, spoiler free review next month.

[Stefkov]

freakin sweet.
I love the fact being able to exist outside twilight realm as wolf link......gonna be biting some children hehehe

[immy]

http://i13.tinypic.com/34ffeyw.jpg

Isn't it kinda weird that there seems to be no text about the game on the back of the box?

[Dante]

Edit that into spoilers Stefkov.

As WolfLink you have to hunt down shadow insects and collecting the tears of light they've consumed, restoring Light Spirits, AKA Great Fairies. The Light Spirit turn Link into human again.

Isn't it kinda weird that there seems to be no text about the game on the back of the box?

Not the final version, its for display only.

Ask Iwata Vol.5 Part 1 (http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/topics/interview/vol5/index.html) is about Zelda:TP but the translation will out next month. :sad:

Ask Iwata Vol.5 Part 2 (http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/topics/interview/vol5/02.html) is out now. :cry:

[Mokong X-C]

i decided when i get my Wii this will be the last game i play on launch day, i'll play Wiisports firsts, then Wiiplay then Red Steel, then last Zelda, why? Because i know if i play it first i'm gonna forget about the others till Zelda is finished, hahaha

That's all well and good for the Americans, but the Internet's going to be a spoiler minefield for three weeks before we get it.

Besides, if Matt from IGN is going to get 48 hour with the game next week, it means there'll be loads of spoilers coming our way soon, unless he and the rest of the press who get to play it are made to sign NDAs.

[jakeee]

Could you please put those pictures in the spoiler tags. Some people don't want to see any pictures of the game before they get the game.

[Tellyn]

If you mean the videos, they aren't giving anything away unless you didn't know that Link was in it. If you mean the boxarts, wtf? If you mean the one with the black monsters, it's only a spoiler if you know what they are, which you probably don't if you don't open the spoilers. If you mean the History of Link then god help you. :heh:

OOOOOH MYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOD !!!!!!!11!!!!

Heh, can't stop watching those two small vids :wink: I just like them so much... too bad they aren't longer though, Nintendo is really torturing us!!! Haha!

I love that background music in the one where Link's on horse. You heard it in the last two trailers, but I never thought that was actually an in-game music theme... I love it! It's so good... I actually walk around humming that theme... :love:

Wauw, and just notice the incredible sounds! It's fantastic!

RUMOUR, WARNING POTENTIAL SPOILER [IF LEGIT]:
1st Twilight Princess Review Scores POSSIBLY REVEALED: 9.5, 9.5 & 10/10 if this is legit it equates to 29/30, divide that by 3 to get the final score which is 9.66/10 for the 1st review score. Not good enough, JUST falls a bit short of the 9.7 minimum benchmark I expect this game to achieve but its early days yet, after that single review score, it ain't too far away from the 97.8% average ratio score of Ocarina of Time but Wind Waker in comparison from EGM got 9.83 out of 10, a difference of 0.17. A supposedly inferior game scoring higher, not a good sign for Twilight Princess, as everything but the scores in regards to this mag [including the Halo 3 leak and cover has been confirmed to be legit], the only thing that hasn't are the review scores for Twilight Princess, Red Steel, Excite Truck and the rumour that Metal Gear Solid 4 is coming to 360 which would have a lot of Sony fanboys crying for a long time to come. SOURCE: http://gonintendo.com/?p=7479

As for the review if true that makes me happy. The EGM staff are arse holes anyway, I never take any of their scores or impresions to heart.

[immy]

29/30 seems pretty good to be shame about the excite truck score though

[ZeldaFreak]

They won't sign NDA's they'll sign something else which has a press embargo date on it -so they can release so much info about the game on a daily basis up until launch

[Lens of Truth]

Scores sound good to me! I've no doubt that TP will be better than WW.. review scores are very imprecise things..

I know everything's in spoilers... but I'm not gonna be looking at this thread anymore until I get the game - I dont want to tempt myself!

Scores sound good to me! I've no doubt that TP will be better than WW.. review scores are very imprecise things..

[Nintenchris]

Good luck mate... it never works.

Oh and about review scores... how many of you wouldnt buy it if most gave it a 9?

Personaly i couldnt care what scores it gets, its Zelda, Nintendo made it so im getting it.

[Kraser]

What i have seen so far about this game is enough to prove that this Zelda deserves 20/10. I don't even care about reviews thought. It's the most epic game off all time! No doubt about it!

Yeah, I was totally shocked too, this fact just secures its status as best game ever.

Fuck..amazing, this has no way of being anything BUT the best game ever.

Man, the part with Link...you know the...

You know this Pony game actually has decent graphics for a DS game, I guess.

Oh, I know what you mean. I don't know how they've resisted the spoiler for that, it's better than ANY other gaming news I've seen for a year.

I'll say it again: BEST GAME EVER.

That Jeux-France video was good, but the French guy didn't know how to play it! He almost died on the boss, whose name is now apparently:

Pyru

[Hellfire]

I will resist the spoilers, my will will remain strong!

[LazyBoy]

Guys stop it you're killing me.

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH CANT LOOK

[DCK]

Both! :yay:
Nah I really don't think so, remember this part:
Haha Hellfire and LazyBoy are cracking me up :laughing:

Anyway, I wonder what happens when the Cuccos start tripping on the horse's drugs... That would be cool.

[Stefkov]

I like the sound of that, but:
I'm just having fun reading all of your spoilers. I dont know what sbeen happening on these pages but its funny.
Cucoos on drugs, I'd love for a boss in a dungeon to one. A massive Cucoo on drugs. He could be called Cucoodon or something.

[Tellyn]

I kind of started a little spoiler box hoax last night. :heh:

Are the black monsters that fall out of portals evil then?

EDIT: Dante's right, I apologise to Hellfire and Lazyboy, those spoilers and the DS-x2 link contain information about a pony game for the DS. I got bored last night, sorry.

[Dante]

I think we need to delete this theard and start over again.

[Tellyn]

Yeah good idea Dante, it's way too long now, and all the videos and new info have been lost. I volunteer to compile another topic like the Wii Channel and Virtual Console ones I made and put all the pictures and videos in if anyone wants. ???

[Knives]

Haha!

Too bad for Hellfire and Lazyboy, we all made them cry and stuff :smile: I feel sorry for them...

Yeah, better stop doing it now, while it's still funny....

Btw, really enjoy those Zelda retrospectives... Can't wait til they actually get to Twilight Princess... Probably the last episode of them... There's gonna be six parts, right?

[DCK]

I kind of feel sorry for them, the hype meter has probably gone way up for them.
That's true, but when the real spoilers come out it wouldn't be any different. It kind of sucks Dante is killing our fun though :(

[Tellyn]

OMG!! Thank god i read it all your fake spoilers! I couldn't hold it anymore!Finally... i now the true! You guys... hate you! XD

[Cube]

Rumoured EGM Score for Twilight Princess (from NeoGaf)

9.5/9.5/10

Not sure what the individual parts are for, tho.

[Knives]

Hmm... I read a Danish review (that's where I'm from of course) about the last TP demo with the newest Wii controls... (really old info, I know!) they actually didn't like it too much... They said the sword fighting was kinda boring when it didn't matter how you swing the wiimote. And that the aiming with the bow, boomerang and clawshot was problematic, when enemies and stuff were at the edge of the screen, sometimes making the aiming thing dissapear when you went too far away. It was problematic in places where you had to react fast.

Of course, I've always been a bit unsatisfied with the whole idea with TP for the Wii and the new controls, but still... it's still a bit tempting to buy it... Garrrr! :horse: Damnit! ... I wish we could see just one more video of TP for Gamecube! Just 20 seconds gameplay or something... it's been a while since they've shown anything about the Gamecube version. It's not fair, now that Wii is stealing the spotlight! :nono:

I'm gonna buy TP for Gamecube, and make it go out with a blast! Unless! I get to try the Wii in some store when it's released, and think that TP is absolutely best for the Wii. But I doubt it... :hmm: I think you have to experience the controls for yourself though, if you really wanna know...

But it's tempting... with the Wii having a tiny bit better graphics and that widescreen crap feature... It just seems at the moment that Nintendo only have been working on the Wii version, so I REALLY don't hope that they've forgotten about the Cube version too much... :o

Also, the aiming target going away is a sign that the thing you're aiming for isn't shootable in your position. That's been in all Zelda games since OoT...

[Stefkov]

watched that retrospective last night before i switched off. I never knew Majoras mask looked so good! I've never played that game. I will definitely have to get it on the VC.

Not when you're *not targeting something, but just aiming your bow. If you go too fast, let's say, to the right where a huge monster is coming for you, you might move the wiimote too far and a text will suddenly pop up and say "Please aim the Wiimote at the screen", that can be a problem sometimes, instead of Link just aiming more to the right... :horse:

But hey, that's what they said! :heh:

Exactly my point :sad:

[Yoshiking]

If you expect the sword fighting to be incredibly realistic, you'll probably be disappointed. But if you compare it to just pressing a button, it's going to be damned much sweeter, and you know it. Just flinging your wrist around a bit and watching Link slash with his sword on screen is going to kick ass for me, anyway. It depends on what you expect from it, really.

[pedrocasilva]

I for one don't want a new thread, there's so much content in this one that it'll always come in handy in-case we want to search it, besides... it's proof of this games popularity and even our existance within this forum (just like every other thread where we post in).

All in all if this thread was to end... it would be better to lock, never erase it's content, IMO.

[Knives]

Just flinging your wrist around a bit and watching Link slash with his sword on screen is going to kick ass for me, anyway. It depends on what you expect from it, really.

Still, I think you'll get tired from seeing Link do vertical swings, horizon and staps just by doing a little flick with your mote... no matter how you flick it, it doesn't matter anything to what Link will do just that he'll swing his sword in some way.

I think in someways you'll get dissapointed after hearing that the wiimote will make it so much more awesome and realistic... of course the fishing part is something for it self. That, I'm really gonna miss for the Cube version :hmm:

Many prefer it in the old school way, with the controller, like myself! It's how every Zelda game has been played... :)

[Yoshiking]

So, you say you'll get more tired from seing Link to the exact same swings time after time just because you're swinging your own wrist instead of pressing a button? Sorry, but that makes no sense. Also, I've never gotten tired of repeative sword swings in previous Zelda games. Sure, the way Link swings his sword won't correspond with the way you fling your wrist, but it'll vary just as much as it will when you're pressing the button.
I just think it's gonna be awesome to simply fling your wrist and see something happen on screen. That's all I expect.
I can understand if you're not getting a Wii yet, that you'd get the Cube Zelda, but if you are getting a Wii I'd advise you against it.

[Knives]

Sure, the way Link swings his sword won't correspond with the way you fling your wrist, but it'll vary just as much as it will when you're pressing the button.

So why not just press a button instead of doing small flicks all the time?
In theory, it's the same thing. Press the same button or doing the same flick. I'm just saying that most people are very hyped up about the Wii controls are going to be very realistic and cool, but that they might get dissapointed, that's all!

But I don't wanna discuss this anylonger, this sucks. People who want a Wii should definitely aslo buy TP for the Wii, and those who wanna stick to the old fashion way should have it for the Cube. Or maybe both, for those who are hardcore :awesome:

[Yoshiking]

You don't have to flick the same way all the time.. I'd just take more pleasure in flinging my wrist back and fourth than pressing a button. You'll automatically feel more integrated, as it'll feel like simply the fact that you're moving your hand is what's affecting what Link does.
EDIT: And in any case, Ninty would definately not release TP as the Wii launch title if the controls weren't great.

Why not? Everyone hated the controls at the E3 2006 demo, and at first the controls were going to be that way. They believed in that.

I'm not saying that they aren't going to be good or okay, but we can't know for sure if they'll be great.

Just watched the Gametrailers Retrospectives 1,2 and 3. Fantastic, gives me a huge reminder of my love for the games and makes me even more excited for Twilight Princess.

Of course the controls are going to be CRAP, all the journos haven't been playing anything new, its the same recycled demo thats been used for the past 5 to 6 months just with Wii Mote controls QUICKLY tacked on, it would've taken them about a week to tack it on last minute for the September events. The VERY fact that they used the same demo with the controls tacked on several months later suggests that minimal EFFORT was put into that demo and it was only set up in order to give the gaming public an IDEA of what to expect in the final game but wasn't a 100% accurate representation of what the final game will be like. These sorts of previews that we've seen up till now are insignificant, look out for Matts 48 hour preview conclusions coming up next week at IGN as he is playing the "FINAL BUILD" of the game. If the same issues are arisen in his evaluation of the game, THEN there is SERIOUS cause for concern. For now though, there is simply no justification for saying the games controls are going to be GUARANTEED INFERIOR and make the game less than spectacular based on a 6 month old rehashed demo, something that I admittadely have been guilty of. But thats just the fanboyism in me as a huge fan of the series, wanting the game to achieve all time greatness.

I withdraw my judgements then. You're right.

I too truly wants this game to achieve the best of the best! And I doubt it won't!

[solitanze]

I withdraw my judgements then. You're right.

I too truly wants this game to achieve the best of the best! And I doubt it won't!

I can understand where people are coming from with their reactions though. Its hard not to show concern from the negative impressions that have arisen from playtests even though its been on that same DAMNED demo, after all, these people deep down just like everyone else, want to see this game achieve all time greatness, why would they complain otherwise [the few people that don't like the series excluded] But really, would it take Nintendo 4 months to implement the Wii Mote swining controls in a short demo? No and the quality of the mechanics emphasised this, that obviously minimal time was put into it [the public demo that is]. The final game will be a lot better than is indicated by the good ol' modified E3 demo. In regards to achieving all time greatness with aggregate review scores, unfortunately it probably won't by default due to higher expectations with the continual advancement of video game technology, the fact that some journos will not be able to shake off the feeling of the game not being a true Wii game and thus unncecessarily penalising the game for it [individualistic views will greately influence some scores more so than others] and also the fact that Zelda: OOT was such a phenominal game for its time setting an amazingly high target/benchmark for future games to achieve. It would be a fantastic achievement if this game can be placed within the top 5 rated games of all time considering the marking criteria of current generation games compared to previous generation games.

[Tellyn]

They are not tacked on, Nintendo have taken the feedback from E3 and on the Internet and edited and tweaked the game to perfection. Who has complained about the new controls?

[solitanze]

I didn't say that they were tacked on as an afterthought in the final game, but in the DEMO yes they are, because its a DEMO. A demonstration, an idea of what to expect in the final game. Yes they certainly would've taken the feedback from E3 and the internet to tweak the game, but this hasn't been represented in the recycled DEMO, the extent to which the controls have improved we'll see when the game releases, in my case, November 19th but for a true legitimate progress report, Matts 48 hour IGN reporting coming up towards the end of this week should give us a MUCH better idea to how much the controls have actually improved.

[Tellyn]

OK fair enough, but they're only recycling the demo as not to give anything away.

[Hellfire]

Solitanze makes me lose faith in humanity's future.

"you begin to get a sense of the sheer dizzying scope of TP, it threatens to be absolutely immense, an epic seldom rivalled in scale outside the rpg form (and never by another launch game) and loaded heavier than ever with items, details and possibilities as yet unseen in a test that made 6 hours feel like 6 minutes."

"It's almost forbidding, TP is certainly no populist rethink of zelda, in tune with the popular all cuddly all access Wii. It is instead an all guns blazing assault on the hardcore, a fanboys wet dream (if there's any worry at all it's that it might overburden itself)"

However they more than make up for it with tremendous tactile excitement, the shrill thrill of the speaker effects and the very real and seriously welcome freedom and comfort that comes from having your hands attached by 3 feet of wire, not 3 inches of plastic. . Factor in the Wii only widescreen support -no small consideration- and it's clear which version is a must have."

Oh crap... i think i just wet myself!

Way to LEAVE OUT THE SPOILER TAG.
XD

[Rapture1984]

Nice one Dante :grin: every thing I hear about this game makes me want it more. Definitely going to book a couple days off work after launch and become a Zelda hermit :p

[Stefkov]

tbh, when i pressed a button in OOT to swing the sword it felt nice, it felt like i was hitting the enemies. However if you think about it, now if you get angry at a boss, it wont reflect it on screen but you can pretend to actually hit the boss hard cos you hate him, witht he wiimote swinging it.

I agree with Yoshiking here, flicking the wiimote will be more satisfyling that pressing a button.

[Cube]

Just watched the Gametrailers Retrospectives 1,2 and 3. Fantastic, gives me a huge reminder of my love for the games and makes me even more excited for Twilight Princess.

Its a shame that they are full of mistakes. And "not playstation-quality graphics" for OOT????? WTF was he smoking?

[DCK]

If you expect the sword fighting to be incredibly realistic, you'll probably be disappointed. But if you compare it to just pressing a button, it's going to be damned much sweeter, and you know it. Just flinging your wrist around a bit and watching Link slash with his sword on screen is going to kick ass for me, anyway. It depends on what you expect from it, really.
Sorry to go way back in quoting is, but you are absolutely right!

The Wiimote was never intended to make games more realistic, but more fun through involvement in motion. The sheer fact that I can now do an actual martial artistic sword swipe to finish off a Moblin excites me so much for this game. I guess even OoT won't be the same again after I played this one.

Also, anyone claiming he's scared of getting tired while playing this game (which you won't as you're resting the Wiimote on your knee or lap) is quite simply showing what a wuss he really is.

I guess it's natural for Zelda fans to be conservative though, seeing what happened to Zelda II.

Jab forward with the nunchuck.

The sacred treasure the (first) dungeon yields, if one of three; this suggests an Ocarina-style structure to us, with a trio of dungeons pre-facing a second, grander quest. Consider that the route to the end of that dungeon is much longer and systematically more involved than that to the end of Ocarinas's Deku Tree, and you begin to get a dizzying scope of Twilight Princess

- Music is up there with the best of any Zelda games, veering into ominous, synthesised abstraction when in the Twilight.

-Meet Zelda in the first Twilight cross over.

- Tunic and Hat (And you're returned back to Human form) handed to you on returning faron woods to normal (From Twilight)

[Kraser]

I can't forget how big overworld it is... Nintendo really weren't joking when they said it was the best zelda ever!
Now we can only wait... and, personally, try to not look to spoilers tags.

P.S: About the shield, you just have to jab the nunchuck. I just hope feeling the rumble feature, when doing this. You still not sure....

Basic controls like shields jabs do not belong in spoiler boxes.

Wheres the horsies SHLONG?

Looks like a beast of a horse, makes Epona look puny and underwhelming in comparison.

[pedrocasilva]

Wheres the horsies SHLONG?Will you "review" it too? (the SHLONG that is...)

[solitanze]

There'll just be nothing underneath. The game would have to be rated mature otherwise, imagine small goblin enemies coming and smacking the horses waste disposer, the horse would complain and try to flick you off and you can lose health with the impact of the fall if you're unable to balance on the horse while it goes wild. Does the horse have a health bar as well, can it die leaving you horseless or will it just run away back to its stable where you'd need to physically go back there and feed it carrots or what not to restore it to full health again?

Also has it been confirmed whether you can mark your territory as a wolf, wolf piss and it keeps certain enemies away so you can use it as protection points for some rescue missions [similar to princess zora in OOT] in the game?

[Jamba]

Erm how about the fact that Epona is either:

1) A girl horse
2) Androgenous because its sex is a completely irrelevant

[DCK]

Yeah, we need more horse dicks in the artwork !!11!

Ergh, Epona was female in OoT and MM so I assume she's female in this game too. The game would become pretty nasty considering the size of your average horse penis... I bet it would be very distracting while riding Epona.

I bet Miyamoto's choice of making Epona female in OoT was a measure not to waste so many polygons and physics calculation on that thing hanging underneath :nono:

[Tellyn]

For the sake of storyline, the horse will probably be magical and have no use for sexual organs.

Oh, the shield is used with the nunchuk, and you thrust it forwards to deflect blows and shield punch enemies.

[Jamba]

For the sake of storyline, the horse will probably be magical and have no use for sexual organs.


So they're like Smurfs eh?

[Tellyn]

Precisely.

[DCK]

More like Teletubbies.

[Tellyn]

Especially the handbag-wielding purple one.

[mcj metroid]

haha link's run is hilarious in those videos.

[gmanprime]

lol. You guys are siting around looking at pick of epona when you should be looking at wolf links underbelly.

[Emasher]

i think i'll print that art off and hang it on my wall

[Hellfire]

That drawing is so damn amazing. I wish I could draw like that.

[DCK]

haha link's run is hilarious in those videos.
Yeah, seems to me Link's walk has turned a bit to stereotypical gayish in Twilight Princess :heh: He ran pretty cool in OoT though, so it's a bit of a weird choice.

The download was taking way too long, but apparently someone on the Gamespot forums has found leaked TP music. I really doubt it, but there it is if anyone's interested.Had to find the direct link because it simply wouldn't prompt to save and took forever (I'm using firefox).

So here:
-> http://s12.quicksharing.com/d/9673337/1162232792/1tpleakedmusic.zip
(right click, "Save As..." on the link)

I dunno if the URL is generated each time the page loads though.

EDIT: just heard it, this was said to be a leak a few months ago, it's actually just in-game music from E3 2005 ripped onto MP3. not exactly a leak, and could have changed... By E3 2005 they were starting the orchestration of the game.

[Stefkov]

gracias. this game looks so freakin sweet, I cant wait to have it in my room I'm getting giddy over the thought of playing it.........ahhhhhhhhhhh

[Tellyn]

Yeah I can't wait for 8th December. But the queue in GAME will be enormous...

[Knives]

Ooooooooh... It's going to be so damned nice!!! Just imagine saying "What I'm playing at the moment? Well Twilight Princess of course! Duhh!" :)

This final month is going to be one looooooong month!

That review Matt is going to make at the end of this week will be nice though. Think it will ease the pain a little bit...

[Stefkov]

Just watched that video and my mouth was on the floor. It looks so damn beautiful in widescreen.

I cant wait to flick my wrist and link will freakin **** people.
I want to go early for my Wii. If that involves missing a few lessons or even going in later or not going in I will get my Wii and Zelda on the 8th!

[mcj metroid]

so guys will it be the best zelda game ever?

[LazyBoy]

Oh mcj, you're asking a hell of a question. I think the main thing it will hinge on is the wolf controls and gameplay. If they get those right....well it sure has got a chance.

[Stefkov]

I think Nintendo will have the wolf controls mastered. I dont see that being a bad part. Its just link but on all fours, without weapons and just more animations for him to do cos he is a weapon.

At least I hope so. I am so hyping for this game, I dont care what anyone else says about it I can just sit and play it for hours on end...when it comes of course.

does anyone know where i can get the main theme tune that everyone knows of Zelda from?

[triforce_keeper]

so guys will it be the best zelda game ever?

Correction. So guys will it be the best game ever? Replacing OOT as the number 1 game of all time?

Which one, because I think I got it. I mean which console.

[Stefkov]

Which one, because I think I got it. I mean which console.

well im looking for the main overworld theme. If you can hear it i think its the end one here (http://www.animalxing.com/songs.php#letterz)
Thats the best i could remember of where to hear it.
Also if you got the OOT overworld theme.

[mcj metroid]

Correction. So guys will it be the best game ever? Replacing OOT as the number 1 game of all time?

wow didn't think of it like that.Good point!it is a hell of a question.

[Emasher]

before the n64 was released what was the best game of all time?

[Yoshiking]

LTTP? SMW? Chrono Trigger? SMRPG?

[Charlie]

According to IGN it was Chrono Trigger.

I just went through the Top 100 list and took the first one that was pre-N64.

[Stealthttd]

I really hope nintendo dose something differnt with this zelda...oot was the best game for alot of people because nothing was as epic and beautiful on a game console before...Now with all the zelda like games on the market it wont be so special will it..unless the do something big..with copy cats like spinx and beyond good and evil..not saying those games wernt great but zelda like none the less...The wolf is ok i guess but it really dosnt scream the next big thing to me...I hope they make link be more your link by the end of the game...like they need to add more than 3 swords to the game...more shields..maybe even away to upgrade your armor...staying with the green tunic of course..but diffent chain mails underneath...stuff like that...I really hope its not a go to this place to get a heart peice then this place...hearts shouldnt be the only way u feel like u progress in strengh...I am really hoping for more than what nintendo will give me tho...but i will still love it non the less

If u think about it nintendo has always done something completely different at least with it's console versions


zelda(nes)revolutionary and had a save feature.
zelda 2:side scrolling instead of birds eye
LTTP: new console and very different to adventure.Went back to its roots
ocarina of time: link enters 3d
majoras: puts a time limit.game is darker.no epona.lots of masks.No dimensions
windwaker:new graphics style and sea based
and now TP:darker mature zelda.

well add to the list if u like.

Simply won't happen as its unrealistic with the standards set today in gaming. A lot of people will be crying come November 19 and be setting themselves up for GUARANTEED DISAPPOINTMENT if they expect Zelda to get perfect 10s and be guaranteed top spot for the greatest game of all time with aggregate review score rating. ALMOST willing to put $1000US bet on the fact that Twilight Princess won't surpass Ocarian of Time in terms of aggregate review score totals. Too many people will DELIBERATELY score the game lower due to personal biases, too HIGH expectations of the game, the fact that its perceived as a GC port even though technicaly it isn't and many other reasons. A more realistic achievement will be to TRY and aim for the game surpassing Resident Evil 4 with rankings, sneaking in the top 5 rated games on the NET. Although I, like most other people would REALLY like to see this game achieve all time greatness, the chances are slim. But you could say if games like Final Fantasy 12 can get 9.5+ on some sites, you'd like Twilight Princesses chance of getting 9 .7+ right?

MATT IGN BLOG EXTRACT: After criticising the controls for Wii Tennis & Baseball and complimenting the bowling controls, he goes on to say this at the end:

P.S. I'm in Seattle now and will start my love affair with Zelda: Twilight Princess tomorrow morning. I think I'm under embargo until Friday, but look out for some goodness by then. I have a feeling some media for the game may hit the Web first, though. So goodie, and stuff.

[Stealthttd]

i love zelda dont get me wrong...but come on making zelda darker and more mature isnt going to make the game any better....it is a new coat of paint at best...the reason OOT was so great is because it was a perfect game of its time...great grapics, great controls, and everything felt new...majoras mask was a good game basicly the same engine but with a little bit of diffent stuff..like mask ant the time thing...but most people will say that OOT is better because of what it did to gameing...

think goldeneye for n64...not newer one eww...now alot of fps are better than it now but goldeneye was so good and changed gameing to some it is the best fps ever made...perfect dark was just as good if not better and it gets less respect...

thats why i say i really hope the give everything and more in this game to make it the best zelda ever i think they have to...giving more places to go and a bigger world isnt enough to make anyone have the feeling like omg!!!

[Dante]

Starts out with some Twilight Creatures in some sort of dark castle (Hyrule Castle?)

Goes to Cowboy Link, Epona, Colin and a couple of unidentified people. One has a sword. Epona's loaded up with wood for some reason or another. Colin goes with the man with the sword over a rope bridge, while Link (in his cowboy outfit) smiles at him.

Next up is the transformation sequence. Cowboy Link is walking through a path, when suddenly it turns into the Twilight Realm. He transforms into a Wolf, and is dragged away. We see Midna, and next wee some gameplay of Wolf Link and Midna attacking some Twilight Creatures. There's more gameplay, nothing particularily new but a town scene is shown with about 20 people in it, very impressive. Also, Link canoes down a rushing river, now in his classic outfit.

Few quick cuts of cutscenes, showing (among others) PRINCESS ZELDA! Zelda is casting some sort of elaborate spell, very pretty effects.

The trailer ends with Link pulling out the Master Sword and holding it up. The sword is quite a bit longer than any other game.

[Yoshiking]

You guys are far too nervous about this. First of all, this game was delayed a year. Which means it's even better by now than it would've initially been. Also, people (like Shigsy) have said this is the most epic Zelda game of all time. Also.. Has anyone here EVER played a Zelda game that didn't send chills of awesome down your spine?
I certainly haven't. I strongly, strongly doubt they'll screw this up. Maybe it won't be as good as OoT (though I, personally, believe it will), but that doesn't matter, because it's going to be damned awesome anyway.
I've yet to read/hear a negative opinion from anyone who's played it, really. Though I may not have looked well enough.

[Kraser]

Can't wait to see that trailer! It mus be awesome! About Twilight Princess being the best game ever! Just chill out people! I really don't know if it's goingo to be the best game, although i'm sure that this game has potential (a lot of it) but one thing i can garantee (or at least i think this way...)... This is probably, no doubt, the besta Zelda game ever.

[Stealthttd]

to be honest wind waker didnt send chills of awesomeness....it was a great game but just nothing new..grapics changed yes and i loved them...the boat was differnt but it wasnt better than the horse..I think nintendo is going to do something really diffent with the next zelda cause they said this would be the last zelda like this right??

I think zelda has always been more than just a great game...it has been the best of its kind...now it seems like other games are to much alike it to feel great....and all this talk about a huge world makes me worry 2...Think about the fact that this is all running on a gamecube disc...resident evil 4 took up two disc...and if it is suppose to be more epic i wonder how empty the world will be...either empty or repative take ur pick...

Dude, it's Nintendo. Do you really thing they would disgrace a game like this just for that? Of course not! They know what they're doing. Don't worry on that....

[Nintenchris]

As soon as that new trailer becomes available can someone post it on here

Thanks in advance

[Stealthttd]

Dude, it's Nintendo. Do you really thing they would disgrace a game like this just for that? Of course not! They know what they're doing. Don't worry on that....

I think Nintendo is great...do i think they will make a zelda game with a huge world that is empty? yes did u play wind waker? bigger isnt alway better thats all im saying...i would rather see the game being non stop fun then long...

and nintendo is great but they have been slacking in my option in trems of games...mario 64 and zelda OOT were great changed gaming....what have then given sence then...add a water backpack here...put mario in a baseball game...mario party 18 or what ever...zelda with better graphics bigger world same game play...I think the best game from nintendo last gen came out of retro.. metriod pime..why cause it gave a freash look at an old game...I just feel things getting a little to cookie cutter...i want them to break the mold and make everyone feel like when they frist started playing games...

on another note i hope that they have a hard mode in tp...i mean really hard cause i beat wind waker way to fast...i wasnt even trying to i just never died never had a hard time beating a boss...i was so used to the way the game went..

[Emasher]

Ok, it's same old formula, true! But, don't you like it? That's why want this game so much! Because it's going to be the same old epic game... really beautiful! To be honest the most thing that i want for this game is a great story! Really, i'm not worry with better graphics or anything else! Althought i want to feel the new gameplay experience. This is a new thing, don't forget it! I played Wind Waker and it was a big world, and you right when you say that it was kind of empty! But Twilight it's going to have a lot of hours to play! It's the biggest zelda game ever!Don't think that they would make the same mistake.

[Stealthttd]

o i do love the same old zelda..i do they is why i buy them all..and i will buy this one.....it has solid gameplay and i guess thats always a good thing...if its not broken dont fix it is nintendos way i guess...u cant be the best unless u push ur games tho and i dont feel that nintendo has done that sence the n64 era...the next wii zelda i am looking forward to more than tp and tp isnt even out yet...cause the next one nintendo said would be way diffent right or maybe i dreamed that?

[Kraser]

Don't know... still is to soon to think about that one.

[Max]

ok, just wonna know if there are any negatives to TP? can somone post all the negatives of the games that have been posted on the net by people who played the game?

i say this to bring down my personal expectation to low so that i would still be amaized when the game is released and doesnt live up to the hype (not that it wont)

[Stealthttd]

no one will post negatives about that game...that is blasphemy and will be punished by nintendo hunting u down and burning u at the steak......its truth so just smile and say its the best game ever :-P

You'll have your CONCRETE answer within a few days. The current criticisms are insignificant [mainly that the Wii controls don't feel truly superior to GC controls] because they're based on a 6 month old recycled demo. By the end of this week, Matt C from IGN amongst a few other select people will be playing TP for 48 hours, a review MATERIAL preview it will be. We'll truly see then if there are still issues with the game.

Wow you guys sure do whine a lot. In the defense of Link he is an elf, his foot work would be different than that of a human being. Also how many pound of equipment is he packing? I’d like to see you run like a prize athlete with all that on.:indeed:

his stuff dosnt weigh all that much come on...he uses fairy magic to shrink it all down and put it in his pocket so its really small..how do u think he can hold all that stuff to start with? do u see him with a backpack? nooo

He’s wearing a chain mail shirt, a shield, and a sword. Have you ever worn chain mail? It’s freaking heavy. Not to mention his sword is rather large. I doubt the shield is light either.

someone is taking this way to serious no?....u know that i was just trying to say that if weight was realisc in the game then it would be impossible for like to hold all he does...its not the reason he runs funny..i never even thought he ran funny to start with...just chill man its just a game its not real...link is not going to have back problems in the future cause his shild is to heavy..that would be pretty funny in the game tho haha if he hurt his back

[Yoshiking]

I think the running looks.. Just.. Regular? I don't understand what you guys are on about, to be honest.

[Mokong X-C]

i spent last night watching movies of this on youtube (after over a year of being a good boy avoiding as much info as piossible to avoid spoilers)

And it just hit me at the potentail scale of this game, its world and dept of it story and characters is gonna be awesome. I'll be getting other games on launch day but i reckon once i play TP that is all i will be able to play for the rest of the year

[Hellfire]

Man, whoever does those drawing is nothing short of a genious.

Sorry... I was totally screwing around. I wasn't serious. This game will be ausome no matter how link runs. Besides, I waited 6 hours in freezing cold Minnesota weather to preorder my wii.

[Emasher]

he he i didn't have to wait and if i did it would have definatly been colder than where you are.

I vote we temporarily block members from outside europe so they carn't spoil this game, otherwise I am going to cry on my copy of magical starsign.

P.S. Everyone get Magical Starsign brilliant game

I think I'm looking forward to IGN's review more than anything else at the moment. Surely reviews will start to appear soon.

[Twilight]

The English "Iwata Asks" site has been updated with first part of Twilight Princess interview:

http://ms.nintendo-europe.com/wii/?site=v5_01.html&expand=5&l=enGB

I found that Miyamoto´s "sob story e-mails" thing kinda funny. :)

[Mike]

Funny how all the publicity art from Twilight Princess still has Link with his sword in his left hand, and his parting still on the 'old' side (just like in the final boxart).

[raven_blade2006]

This game will be unreal. Ive also been watching some videos of it lately and its starting to sink in that its coming soon! And its awesome.

[Knives]

WOah! Can't wait to see that new trailer! I just don't get how the Aussies get to see it first!?

I'm a little worried though that it might contain a bit too many spoilers... from that description, that was posted... I mean... actually seeing Zelda peforming magic! Link's very first transformation into the wolf, and Link pulling up the Master Sword... It might be a bit risky... hmm... But I just know I can't resist it... It just sounds too good to view another official Zelda TP trailer...! Wuuuh! Damnit... I'm just not strong enough... But who is!? :) ooooh... And we get to see a new town scene! Ooooh, my hands are shaking! :cry:

Ooooh, and several new screenshots too? Oh boy! Bloody good!!!! :D

It should be released by wednesday, tomorrow? Oh thank you God/Nintendo.... (whoever might be responsible for this :D)

That is one yes, but the one im listening to with all the names in japanese is from the Nintendo mag, before it went for ONM, ages ago. I'm not sure what the difference is, there might be some different tunes in it.
sure whats your email, i may have it but just to be sure. send via pm, kep this less cluttered.

That attempt of getting the text out is alright, however you can see he's just smudged it awayon the bottom of the shield and his tights.

before the n64 was released what was the best game of all time?

Pfft, Chrono Trigger! It still is, OOT is incredibly boring by comparison...infact, anything is boring by comparison...

GamePro was recently invited to Nintendo of America to play Twilight Princess for five hours before anyone else in North America, and in their newest issue, they've decided to share their impressions of the final build with us. Again, this is just like the other Edge and ONM issues where it reveals quite a bit, but this time, they reveal info about the first dungeon, and more.

So, here's the basic information from the issue:

The Fairy Icon is still present in the final build.

You begin the game with a Slingshot to get you accustomed to aiming with the Wii Remote.

Soon after you receive your sword, Link is sucked into the Twilight Realm.

Wolf Link controls much the same as human mode, excep the D-pad activates Wolf Link's "animal sense".

"Sense" shrinks down your field of vision, but allows Link to see things that normal eyes could not.

One example given is the GamePro staff followed a scent trail of some kidnampped villagers.

Pushing on the direction pad also allows Wolf Link to dig for treasure or burrow through tunnels.

The Built-in speaker plays a crucial role in the Twilight Realm. If you run into an area where you think it is a dead end, Midna will laugh sometimes, signaling she has a clue to offer. It's basically the same thing as Navi's "hey, listen!" in Ocarina of Time, I assume.

There is a SPECIAL spin attack, which has to recharge after use, and the speaker will chime to let you know it is ready to be used again.
Midna is a mischievous demon, according to GamePro.

The first dungeon takes a long time to reach (they only had five hours, so use your imagination).

The Gale Force Boomerang is the item you receive in the first dungeon - this also, if the demos hold true, reveals the first dungeon is the Forest Temple from E3 2005.

Aonuma reveals, in a mini-interview, the GCN version's "orientation" was the default, and that Wii is the "mirrored" title.

GamePro asks about a rumor they heard that Link is left handed because Miyamoto is left handed and asks about why Link is a righty now (we confirmed this at E3 2006 when we asked the man himself), but Aonuma responds that it was Miyamoto's decision, not his, to make Link a righty because Miyamoto was using his right hand for the Wii Remote. Because Miyamoto did that, he felt most gamers would do that, and that's why it was done.

Aonuma says the reason Link is a lefty (and he does say Miyamoto is a lefty) is not because Miyamoto is lefty! He says he will reveal this at a later time. I call BS on this, even if he is the creator - Miyamoto told THREE of us in person, with Bill Trinen as a witness, that Link is a lefty because HE is a lefty. Methinks something is fishy here, but alas, who are we to argue with the creators? Oh yeah, Aonuma has a mustache now...he looks like Miyazaki.

The full interview will be online at GamePro.com next month.

I can't help but wonder if aanuema is just screwing with us. He takes the lamest things and claims there is some grand connection. Mabe he is just playing an ongoing joke with people who are trying to develope a timeline when he says that he is going to make it clear with the next games.:bouncy:
