Off Topic: In the new issue of Edge i received in the post today their main article about the PS3 mentions a few things about the Revolution, there is also a screenshot (not new) of Twilight Princess where it says in the corner that it will be one of the first titles to use the Revolution's controller. Now Edge is highly respected games magazine and i do not think it would lead it's readers astray.

I checked amazon.co.uk, which says may1st but ill bet usa will get it first... dam it!I didn't either, I can't picture any credible magazine to base a whole cover article to bogus, they must have confirmed information... when they re-stated what they said in the magazine... I believed them, anyway it's good to see other magazines stating the same information, but remember... NGC was the first :P

there goes nintendo's plan of a suprise showing. Sometimes, they hold on to information too long, i mean the ps3 specs e.t.c have all been revealed, I suppose we will know at E3...

Sometimes, they hold on to information too long
I understand why. Reveal something and, *poof*, there goes Sony stealing.

I understand why. Reveal something and, *poof*, there goes Sony stealing.
sony are so funny with their stealing... they even got games about stealing things (sly raccoon, GTA games...) heh heh.

anyway, i wouldnt believe anything that any magazine says after ngc and their speculation and .. uhh.. everything.
i have to give nintendo a silent applause for hyping this game, must be a fair bit if it manages to get a mention in a talk about the PS3 *grins*

just on the xbox360 hype... uhh what? exactly.
there is a preorder thing in a harvey norman catalogue ($649AUD), and thats about all. it doesnt say how wonderful it is, just what is included in the box.

Id like along and hard game,make that bit more special than the others,wonder what the surprise will be with ganon,i want this game badly now.Im glad the enemies and bosses are harder make it more of a challenge

pedrocasilva

24-01-2006, 05:27 PM

I'm quite surprise nobody posted the Zelda news here already.
Well to sum it up, they will reveal something about Ganon in the game that will surprise us all or something like that and the enemies and bosses will be harder than in previous games.

source: gamefront.de (http://www.gamefront.de)

Don't want a too hard game, long + hard = frustrating (for me)
but harder than WW wouldn't be a bad thing.Hmmm, I could try to guess what it is, infact... I will : peace:

I'll just say this, I think Ganon in Wind Waker wanted to die, when
sealed in flooding hyrule by Link, his last words are: "heh, the wind is blowing"
it's like saying "the life goes on", ganon's life lost meaning without hyrule,
makes sense, just like the King of Hyrule wanted to die along with his land,
ganon was human aswell, and he wanted his land back or die trying,
he probably didn't want to live in a world without his homeland.

I guess King of Hyrule will meet Ganon first in this game, also... in the end of
OoT, although Adult Zelda sent Link back in time, she stayed in the future.
While the zelda in this one is very young... Adult Zelda from OoT might be
her mother (or a familiar) remember this is a few decades after OoT... ;)

24-01-2006, 06:45 PM

Since hyrule and ganons actual homeland are parallel,if hyrule is destroyed then so is his land so he seeks the triforce to protect it,and sonce hyrule got destrpyed he didnt want to keep on living ,since he said new winds are blowing

pedrocasilva

24-01-2006, 06:45 PM

Hmmm, good thought Pedrocasilva! Here's another...

On the note of Ganon not being able to live without Hyrule... What if, Ganon isn't quite the bad guy we're used to and instead helps in the quest to save Hyrule from the "Twilight".... :wink:
I doubt it... ganon always wants power above all, it's just that dominating
the ocean above hyrule isn't what he wanted in wind waker, the only thing that keeps him
living then... is to find the other triforces pieces to claim back his land, as you see there's
a new Ganon Tower under, I believe he was really close to get what he wanted in TP
before the flood, he wanted to take it from there again, because he was so close to
achieve it...

Now... this is not ganon from OoT... in TP he killed people, if I recall correcly in TP
there's the Kokiri sage (Fado) and Zora sage (Laruto) who were murdered by Ganon...

here's the evidence taken from walkthroughs:

"Fado of the Kokiri tribe will appear and ask if you are the new hero.
He will introduce himself and explain how he was attacked by Ganondorf."

"She introduces herself as Laruto, a Zora sage. Apparently, she has been praying in the
depths of the Earth Temple to keep the power to repel evil within the Master Sword.
Obviously, she failed.
When Ganondorf returned long ago, his minions attacked the Earth Temple and
stole Laruto's
soul to disable the Master Sword's power."

Ganon has to be in the game as the main bad guy...

Since hyrule and ganons actual homeland are parallel,
if hyrule is destroyed then so is his land so he seeks the triforce to protect it,
and since hyrule got destrpyed he didnt want to keep on living ,since he said new
winds are blowingPresisely, that's my opinion, he chose to die.

ShadowV7

24-01-2006, 06:49 PM

Fado in TP is an adult in links village so he cant be the sage

pedrocasilva

24-01-2006, 06:54 PM

Fado in TP is an adult in links village so he cant be the sage but there's one by that name, what we saw was a demo for E3 some names might not be final (they might have done it just to give a hint, nintendo likes to tease), I read the name in the text, but didn't actually know it was refering to a adult in the game...

but taking place between Ocarina and Wind Waker... I believe it has to explain what happened to those two, it'll also give more depth.

I didn't saw him, but... couldn't he be a kokiri? I mean... link starts in a village in the forest, a kokiri might be able to live there.

It's from E3 but I never saw it shows Link getting his sword and kicking some cucoo ass. Cucoos can swim now!

MunKy

28-01-2006, 11:26 AM

Damn I wanted to see the cuccos go nuts and attack him. In fact the final boss should be a giant cucco. It made a deal with Ganon and then back stabbed him to reclaim the world for the cuccos before Links started tormenting them.

ShadowV7

28-01-2006, 12:00 PM

Owen

28-01-2006, 08:12 PM

I'm getting a horrible feeling we won't be seeing this to at least September! :shakehead

If it was meant to be out late March early April i'm pretty sure they would of announced it by now, i mean we are nearly Feb and then we could say 'Zelda: TTP' out next month, it's just seems too near and there certainly hiding something from us and keeping it for a while, i reckon they will show Zelda off using the Revo controller at E3 in May and it won't be released till Autumn 2006 (near the Revo launch date).

It's definately not before May, i'll be extremely happy and surprised if it was though! The longer there leaving it, the more annoyed i'm getting though! ;)

Has anyone heard any up-to-date news on a release date?

28-01-2006, 09:08 PM

I don't mind waiting till after summer for it, as long as it means it will be an even better game. I predict late september.

True! and they promised us it would be on the Gamecube! Hopefully a official release date is announced at this D.I.C.E thing on Feb 9th 2006, theres a VERY good chance of that happening actually, well i hope!

James McGeachie

30-01-2006, 01:34 PM

I don't see it coming before September now. Not in Nintendo Europe's line up for the first 2 quarters (stretching until summer) despite games like New Super Mario Brothers, which doesn't have a release date either, being there. The TP Rev control rumour not only being highly backed by NGC but now also stated as fact from Edge, with the original rumour saying due to the additions we wouldn't be seeing the game until around Autumn. The fact that if released anytime around now with only Gamecube control, it'd probably only sell a quarter of what it will if people have a reason to want to play it on Rev too.

If anyone wants a date to count down to just now, I'd make it August, at earliest. I'm sure we'll know at E3.

Pit-Jr

30-01-2006, 01:53 PM

This is the same company that flat-out denied the DS redesign up until the day it was announced. We will definately be able to use the Rev controller but i hope thats not stopping them from releasing a finished game.

It would be unfair if they don't release it before 'June' in my opinion. :)

Loads of people (including me) are still bitter about how they kept going on about its definately coming out November 05, we nearly get to the date and they delay the damn thing, it would of been ok, but we were 100% promised that it would come out in November, now we are totally left in the dark, which is Nintendo all over, we always hear about the great stuff miles to late, lol! :mad: :)

It doesn't help that this will be the best game ever made up until the year 2006, and will most probably get 99% in magazine scores etc..!!!!!!! :hehe:

Zelda! I want you! :grin:

31-01-2006, 11:12 AM

I guess most of you don't remember waiting after the numerous delays Ocarina of Time went through. If they're trying to make a better game than that then i'm not surprised they've delayed it. Though I agree if it's later than June that's pushing it.

Jav_NE

31-01-2006, 12:10 PM

My advice? Just forget about it for a while. You aint gonna be getting it any time soon so why bother trying to pin point a date or month to look forward to. Just know its coming sometime this year. When they do announce the date for real, be it at E3 or during the summer sometime, then you can start drawing up your calendar and getting the red pen out to X mark the days going by.

Just chill out! Replay through OTT, MM and WW if you have to. That'll take you some time at least!

In honor of the 20 year aniversary of The Legend of Zelda, Nintendo has announced a set of new collectibles. These are made and sold in cooperation with "The King of Games" and are available from 21 February, Legend of Zelda's birthday.

Of course we dearly hope that Nintendo will also make these collectibles available outside of Japan. We will keep you updated on this.

about zelda... that site hyrule.net has a video with a skull kid in it:

http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/3801/skullkid3lh.jpg

looks awesome.

Also on that movie... pause effect looks like... horrible, I hope there is no pause effect in the final game, and that may have been a early build of the game... please... no pause effect it almost ressembles slowdown when it isn't... horrible! non-stop action please.

Shino

pedrocasilva

02-02-2006, 12:09 AM

LOL if you're going to play Baten kaitos hopeing to see FMV you're gonna have a big disapointment (I had one :( ), as for story I didn't think much of it, what's REALLY good in this game are the pre-render graphics and the battle system it's very entertaining.

As for zelda, if you're talking about the pause it makes when link hits an enemy it's been there in WW already, I didn't notice until well into the game, but a friend of mine who's a really expert in hardware (like you) noticed at the first time laughed because he thought it was a slowdown (he's a pc fanboy, go figure), I guess they're not going to change that.I know baten kaitos won't have much FMV (only one mini DVD), but still it looks pretty good, even the in-game graphics are awesome, I don't even picture why it has 8 out of 10 in that department on most reviews, sure it's pre-rendered, but it's simply beautiful, then again I think 1994 2D RPG's are beautiful. For story... most RPG's are always the same thing, it's a matter of presentation, and baten kaitos completly seduced me :D I can't wait to get my dirty hands in it.

Pause effect in Wind Waker it was really a nice effect slowing down the action in real time, a simple touch, could get in the way when surrounded by lots of enemies but it was really neat most of the time, but after seeying it in action in TP I think it doesn't fare well in there, needs tweaking, but it was a E3 2005 video, some of those videos/trailers weren't even on par with the playable demo shown (on the E3 2005 trailer, epona didn't have detailed hair, but in the demo... she had) it's really a matter to see how it's coming together now after more than 10 months (whenever they decide to show it).

Shino

02-02-2006, 12:33 AM

Yeah after watching the skull kid movie again, it is too much pause effect and it should be taken care of, but does the game look good, the shield is abslutely gorgeous! oh another thing is the way enemys die they do it exacly like in wind waker.
I wan't to play this game so much, but I fear that it's going to be ported to revolution and that this 10 months where to update the graphics and implement the revolution controller.

James McGeachie

02-02-2006, 02:37 AM

It's very unlikely the pause effect will be taken out, I've noticed it ever since the first trailer and if anything all they've done is make it even more prominent. It was in all of Wind Waker, so it's obviously something Nintendo thinks is a good addition.

Deku-Nutz

03-02-2006, 03:03 PM

OK OK its just a retailers random? release date but... well Amazon.co.uk seem to think that Twilight Princess is coming on... NOVEMBER 24th!!!

So like I said... just random retailer speculation... BUT... think about it... when is a likely release date of Rev? Well I think its closer to the Years end and I also think Zelda will be part of the launch strategy. This all makes a strange sense...

I hope I don't have to wait till November to play this game...

kav82

03-02-2006, 07:59 PM

November is a little too late for my liking too! I'd guess it's coming shortly after E3... maybe July sometime...

I dislike the pause effect too, I think it'd be ok if they implemented it on the killing blow only and still not such a long pause!

The wait for this game hurts!

Yes of course I realise that. But surely it's in Amazon's interest to publish a date that represents the earliest possible time you could buy the game. They've been sending me these emails and pushing it back for months. The last time they pushed it back was to sometime after April. Does anyone have a concrete example of Amazon being spectacularly wrong with a release date cos I don't?

JetSetWilly

04-02-2006, 12:43 PM

My point is that Amazon's dates are always positioned around logical times. April was the earliest release according to information from Nintendo. Now we've had Nintendo firm-up the Revolution release in time for Thanksgiving and suddenly the Zelda date moves again.

Zelda's date on Amazon is clearly shadowing Revolution and it is in this respect when I say I doubt Amazon will be spectacularly wrong.

ShadowV7

04-02-2006, 08:29 PM

Amazon is trustworthy but they do get dates for video games wrong ,theyre are other trust worthy sites saying that zelda is coming out in august and may.So no date is worth trusting

Guys, i'm seriously having doubts about this. The more i see of this game, the more i think "damn, that's a lot of stuff they're getting onto that gamecube disc."

Haven't the gamecube discs been known for having less storage space than their competitors? And by the looks of things, there is a great deal of graphical detail in this game. If this does get released on the cube, it must surely be on more than 1 disc?

Hellfire

06-02-2006, 01:46 PM

Yeah I have my doubts about it fitting in one disc too, specially if they intend to make it a 100 hour game with orchestrated music.

Jav_NE

06-02-2006, 01:59 PM

Two weeks?! OOT took me forever haha, well about 4 months i guess, not playing contantly of course and i did stop playing for like months when the bastard water temple got to me too much. At the end of the day though, you need a slap for even saying that, when someone labours love and commitment into a game to make it so enjoyable you sit on your ass for hours on end and finnish it in two weeks that should be a testiment to its time in development not 'well all that wait for two weeks'. Honestly.

Jordan

06-02-2006, 02:02 PM

The GameCube disks can technically fit up to 5GB of data with MASSIVE compression. This would lead to huuuge loading times.

Although, there is no way that Zelda will fit on 2 or probably even 3 disks. I wouldn't be supprised if it was a 4 disk game. Seriously.

Fierce_LiNk

06-02-2006, 02:08 PM

Jav: Completely agree with you. Zelda isn't just a 2 week thing. A Zelda game becomes part of your life. The side quests and the main quest will have you playing for months, not weeks.

Jordan: Do you think this raises speculation that this game could be a Revolution launch title?

Hellfire

I'm positive Zelda: OOT took me months to complete!

I didn't play it daily, but i know it's one of the longest game i've ever played.

That or like you say it's been held back for the Rev.
But do you really think they would hold this back to be a Revolution launch game? Just can't see it myself. :shakehead

i dont care if its on more thanone disc, it happened for MOH: rising sun. i admit it was a pain putting in the first disc for it to say put in the other one for multiplayer, but it was fine when in the game. it just said please put in the second disc, then loaded up in no time. these details im sure nintendo have thought over.
the only thing im worried about right now is that will i have enough tie to play it. if it comes out soon, then not much time for me = GCSE's, revising etc. but if later in the year, after may, then ill have plenty time.

tales of symphonia was 2 disc and was 80 hours therefore zelda must be 3 at least. because of the graphics and 100 hours.

Jordan

06-02-2006, 08:06 PM

Only downside of multi disks, is that some places will be totally inaccessable on other disks.

Thus ruining the whole "go here and explore, then go there." without disk swapping.

James McGeachie

06-02-2006, 08:19 PM

pedrocasilva

06-02-2006, 09:15 PM

That doesn't actually always happen, for example, from what I recall you can explore the whole world of Tales of Symphonia on both discs. In other words, the entire world and all the locations can easily fit inside the space of one, but what the extra space is used by is stuff related to cutscenes, such as spoken dialogue, cutscene specific music, etc.

A game like Zelda, with no proper voice acting, little in the way of orchestrated music and no fmv is very unlikely to take up 2 discs, even if there's a massive world that takes a huge amount of time to explore. I can't say for sure this new title will only use one, although if I knew the exact file size of Wind Waker, it'd be much easier to tell.1,3 GB they used up almost all the disc... now I'm sure they weren't trying to compress it that much, not compared to when OoT fits in 32 MB... with TP they could throw in a lot more, for example side quest with existing non-player characters take little code space to do.

Still I have mixed feelings about how are they going to put it all in one disc.

ShadowV7

06-02-2006, 09:23 PM

Knowing Nintendo they'll find out a way to make it work on one disc or 2 discs (which I think will be the case) the way that ToS was done

Social

06-02-2006, 10:57 PM

You can't compare the 2. DIdn't TOS use FMv's and such?

When Nintendo says 80 hours they usually mean 80 hours if you suck at videogames and 40 hours if your an average gamer

Domstercool

06-02-2006, 11:27 PM

It will be one disc. As people have said, it doesn't have speech or FMV, they are the things that take up space. 1.5GB is easily enough space for Zelda.

Pit-Jr

07-02-2006, 12:29 AM

Not sure if this has been posted but looks like April is out the question

Today, several online retailers changed the pre-order date for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Originally predicting an April 2006 release (some even pegged April 15), Walmart.com, EBGames.com, and Gamestop.com have all changed their product pages to June 1, 2006 as of 6 PM EST.

June 1 falls on a Thursday ,videogames are notoriously released on Tuesdays in the US so this looks like yet another placeholder date.

James McGeachie

07-02-2006, 08:00 AM

Just so people know, even in the remote chance the game does take up 2 discs (which from what I recall, would make it the first Nintendo developed game so far to do so), there's not a chance in HELL it'd even come anywhere close to needing 3, not even remotely so.

To be about 3 times bigger than OOT,kinda doubtfull cause there wont be 3 times as much temples but there will be quite a lot of sidequests .On temples however I hope theyre will be a couple more than OOT

James McGeachie

07-02-2006, 08:58 PM

A big part of the supposed 3 times increase in length over OoT (although probably closer to 2 at max I'd think) will probably be because of the increased travelling time across the supposedly massive world, which you'll probably be travelling across constantly from location to location, likely even more often than with WW's sailing, but with more to do to make it interesting. Another thing though, is that perhaps the normal Zelda gameplay will take up just as much time as usual or more so, but the wolf parts of the game will add many, many more hours to the total playtime. I doubt they'll go half assed on those segments, after all, it does seem to be the defining feature of this title.

The Peeps

EGM : Speaking of Zelda, best-case scenario, it’s a few months away from the Revolution launch, worst case scenario is it’s coming out at the same time. Is there ever a point where you believe that it would be better to switch it over to Revolution? Or does it not matter, since the Revolution will be backward compatible with Cube games?

Reggie Fils-Aime (Nintendo) : Exactly. I think that our senior management has made it very clear that bringing Zelda: Twilight Princess out on GameCube is important, that we want to satisfy the GameCube fan base and have it be on that system. You’ve said the obvious, which is that [because] Revolution’s backward compatible, it will almost effectively be a launch title for Revolution. The trick will be what makes it special to play on Revolution, and to the extent that we could create something like that, boy, wouldn’t that be fantastic? Certainly one of the things that I would love to see is something that makes Zelda, when it’s played on Revolution, do something magical. And I think that any Nintendo fan would love to see that.

Source: http://www.jeux-france.com/news14408_zelda-gamecube-compatible-revolution.html

Sounds good and bad... bad because its might not come out till the Revo gets here and good because there might be some extra stuff when played on the Revo... maybe fishing with the Revo controler!!

Stabby

08-02-2006, 11:40 AM

Zelda with the Rev controller sounds awful without the camera control. There is of course the shell, but you there's a lot you can't do without the freehand controller.

Owen

08-02-2006, 12:09 PM

So lets be honest with ourselfs here, Zelda: TTP isn't going to be released till Late September on Gamecube, so that is nearly a year delay and it's close to a November Revolution launch date! (My guess November 3rd 2006). That interview section Cube_game posted 100% confirms that.

So i'm going to stop getting excited because it certainly isn't going to be released April/March and i doubt it will be released in the summer.

Very dissapointed, as it was delayed by a 95% confirmed date by Nintendo, and now we have to wait even longer! (confirmed more then once, theres actually a interview with someone big from Nintendo (could be Reggie) stating that it's definately coming out November 2005, which was aload of rubbish).

The game being delayed to add more stuff etc..is great don't get me wrong but this is what i think:

-Zelda: TTP should be released on the Gamecube early 2006 (May the latest) and shouldn't be linked with the Revolution in anyway. Nintendo fans have waited since November to be told a new date for a game which was 95% confirmed to come out in November 05, i believe we have been unfairly left in the dark.

-A new Zelda should be in the works specifically for the Revolution, with graphics which show the power of it and gameplay which goes with the Revolution controller.

It just seems they are using this Zelda: TTP to sell more Gamecubes, help sell the Revolution and make us wait even longer for a Revolution 'only' Zelda. Everything to help out themselves really and not the consumer.

I'm not impressed. (Of course i will be with the Game, but i'm not impressed with the way they are thinking).

EDIT: This is my opinion, i'll know most of you will disagree. :D

Nintenchris

08-02-2006, 12:16 PM

No i agree with you alright! I just hope they are making the game bigger and better rather than just adding Revo stuff to it. I agree most with you about them holding it back to keep cube sales going... as theres next to no games coming out for it. No doubt they will release Zelda a few months before the Revos launch which pisses me off actualy... because i want to buy it and play it on my cube!

MunKy

08-02-2006, 01:12 PM

They'll probably jazz the gfx up abit and add a few dungeons that use revo controller functionality alot. So anyone who manages to finish it on the Cube will at least have a few extras.

The Peeps

08-02-2006, 01:19 PM

I know Nintendo are trying to do the best thing by delaying it, so they can add whatever stuff they feel is right but I need this game now! We've all been waiting so long!

Sometimes I think it's unfair that they would announce the making of a game so early when they're nearly always delayed.

^It seems ages ago!

I'm pleased it was delayed to add more stuff etc.. if it takes 100+ hours to complete i'm really really pleased as well, so thats a positive.

It's just the not being told alot of stuff about it or being given a idea on a release date, not a specific one, but at least say Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter.

Still it seems Nintendo always do the right thing in the end, mostly.

:hehe:

Hellfire

08-02-2006, 02:01 PM

Don't want to create false hopes, but even if Zelda was released in April and had Revo features it would be somewhat a launch game for Revolution, so it doesn't mean it'll come out in November. Come to think of it it would be best to launch now. No one would buy a GC game with the Revolution out, but the promise of extra revolution features would boost Zelda sales now and Revolution sales later. Don't be stupid Nintendo I can't wait another year.

08-02-2006, 02:16 PM

The Peeps

08-02-2006, 05:30 PM

Yeah I agree with you Hellfire (mainly because I need to believe it lol, but it is plausable), it could be released fairly soon and still be considered as a launch game for Revo as, if it had revo controller capabilities, it would be one of the first games people would play on the Revo, some people (rich people :p) would even buy the Rev, a few launch games and TP.

Whatever happens, I hope TP is Revo capable... That'd be so great.

kav82

08-02-2006, 05:44 PM

I still say they'll release it on Gamecube (couple months before the Rev release) and also bundle it with Revs when they're released! That's probs the best way to tackle it.

ShadowV7

08-02-2006, 05:56 PM

It could be considered a launch title because we'll already have it at rev launch,so its still possible it will be released soon

Edjamakated

08-02-2006, 06:16 PM

My bet is that TP will be released sometime before or after E3 (soon after).

Imagine Nintendo demoing the possibilities of the REV with many different titles that are underway. Then imagine them bringing the already released or about to be released TP to the stage floor and Miyamoto showing us how TP will play on the REV. Miyamoto shows us how sword fighting on horse-back will be that much more immersive, with him holding the controller up towards the ceiling and Link holding his sword up towards the sky. He then jousts the Pig boss and realistically slashes the boss right off of his horse.

Miyamoto for the WIN!

EDIT:

How much hype would that build?! It would be inSANE. In fact, it would blow away any margain of doubt left in even the most skeptical. What better game to show how classic gaming can improve then the best series of all time?! If they launched TP directly afterwards, people would go nuts. They'd buy it just for the prospect of playing it on the REV sometime down the line. However, they'll enjoy it on the Cube no doubt.

Then before the REV launches (starting in September/October), Nintendo reminds us of the gem of a game we already have and it's ability to be played on the REV. Not only that, but shows us again how killer games such as Metriod, Smash Bros., Mario Paint (wishful thinking) and the OFFICAILY ANNOUNCE Camelot RPG play on the REV.

REV would be locked up

While we're on rumours. I remember when the 1st trailer of Zelda was shown (everyone going mental). Then forums on the IGN boards started rumours that Link could transform into a wolf, everyone denied it and asked how (so did i).

And it turns out that he can. Coincidence?
Interesting,wonder what IGn boards are saying now,gonna try and check soon

I know what you're thinking, but it was before the GDC trailer, the very first trailer. I am not even joking. I didn't beleive them, and the wolf on the 2nd trailer upped my suspicions. Then it was confirmed. But it really was after the 1st trailer, not the 2nd, I vividly remember. You have to trust me on this one, I know it's hard to beleive but it's true.

09-02-2006, 10:47 PM

Scrubs is great :p I've been re-watching series one and two recently.

I think Nintendo should bring out TP fairly soon for GC but have it capable for revolution control. The game is being seen as the gamecube's last stand, we've already seen how beautiful it is and Nintendo have said that it'll be bigger than OoT. I'd be perfectly happy getting the game next month or the month after and then being able to play it again when the Rev comes out but in a completely new way.

MunKy

09-02-2006, 11:18 PM

I really want TP for GC but it doesnt make sense to bring it out for Cube after April/May. Why release a game that deserves to be seen by the whole world on a console planning its own funeral?

GigaPlay

12-02-2006, 07:20 PM

It'll probably come out around the same time as Revolution does simply because Nintendo see money in it. I'm pretty sure that's what they're doing with Animal Crossing here in Europe.

If you put that aside, there's translation and if it's a world-wide release, the worldwide date will be longer due to translations to match Europe. Which I think is all very silly. Translation should be written right after the script is written instead of "Finish game, then translate, it should be "Translate along with progress". It may be a little bundled but it would save a lot of time.

I'd say most of the extra work is nearly finished if not finished by now, so with translations, June is plausable, but with Profit, Revolution's launch seems to be more likely. <=(

Huge hype so every GC owner would get a Rev and it would attract so many others,its a good move to take

Hellfire

13-02-2006, 12:10 AM

They'de make more by releasing it soon so just about every GC owner gets a copy and get lots of adverts with TP and rev and say how they work with each other making more sales so its like 2 different release dates to make more hype and sales
That's basically what I said earlier, that's why I still believe in a "close" release date.

On a seperate note, does anyone think that the Triforce will be involved in this game? It seems to be involved in every other Zelda game so it would make sense if it did not appear this time around. Also we have seen no hint of it's appearance. It is possible that the big darkness crossing the land could have come from a Triforce wish (classic Ganon evil doing there). Just wondered what everyone else thought...

BestBuy also informed the people who preordered Zelda: TP that the estimated launch date (= not before 31.03.2006) will be changed to November 2006. So I guess Zelda + Revolution = November 2006.

Well it wasn't in Majora's Mask, so it could be that Nintendo have left it out of this game too.

It's explained in WW that the triforce of power was kept with Ganon in the sacred realm, the triforce of wisdom was split up and so was the triforce of courage that Link has to find in the Great Sea. The Hero of Time lost/gave up his triforce once Ganon had been destroyed and probably gave it to the royal family and they scattered it, or he did it himself.

It's possible that the TP Link may find the triforce but it's more likely that it isn't included in the story. In WW it basically says that the last holder of the triforce of courage was the Hero of Time.

It just states that hero of time lost it when he "left" hyrule (no, it wasn't in Majora Mask, but, at the end of Ocarina Of Time.)

Also... Link has the triforce... (look at his hand)

ah ok then, so Link knows that he's a legend already then? As he is holding the Triforce of Courage...just like Link from Ocarina of Time... he doesn't know he is the wielder of the triforce.

The thing is... we don't know who they are refering to in Wind Waker, we certainly know that King of Hyrule never meet the Hero of Time back in his time, which bares the question, who are they refering to?

Notice that some characters looking at link say something like "Is the legendary hero back?" but is it the Hero of Time? why would they expect his comeback?

Also... if you guys feel like speculating why he failed in the end...

Remember in Wind Waker, the sages were killed by Ganondorf, so the sword didn't have
it's power, just a dull blade like ganon reffered to it, I think.

there's only two sages of the original 7 sages/wise men in Wind Waker, that bares the
question... probably in Wind Waker, Link only reaches the power of the master sword in
OoT with two adult temples (and two sages passed, so... It's like you're fighting
ganon in the end, with the power you got after death mountain/fire temple =)
That's only a shade of the real power.

But in Wind Waker Ganondorf almost lets himself getting killed, and certainly he
isn't as fierce as he once was... but why so?

Did link reach the end only to discover he couldn't defeat him because the master
sword's power was sealed and thus, the awakened sages were killed by ganondorf?

that would be a loosing battle, but still, one of the best ever, I mean... that's trully evil,
it would really make you hate ganon and generate killing intent, If you don't picture it
just yet... just think "ganondorf killed... Saria" and... feel the Rage)
wow I can't hardly wait...

why is the Master sword back in it's "chamber" then?EDIT:Ok... now I'm all hyped-up again, I do this once a month and it really works :grin:
