Zelda: Twilight Princess Discussion (SPOILERS: BEWARE)

[Dante]

IGN (http://media.wii.ign.com/media/748/748589/imgs_1.html) has added more zelda:tp images.

But this image looks very weird to me.

[Hellfire]

mmm... Widescreen :D Link expression is like "Meh fuck this shit" I didn't think they'd be able to pull of such great expressions with these models great work.

[Zell]

Link looks very embarassed...

I've heard that a lot of people are going to buy BOTH versions of the game. Is there any real point in this?

[Jamba]

This may be a dim question but I haven't seen anything around that answers it. Apart from the control system is there any difference between the two version? Graphics, content, anything confirmed?

It's Zelda man! Zelda!
:yay:
Anyway, I'm a collector, I'm a huge Zelda fan and this will be one of the greatest games ever on GC too, it's embarassing not to have it in my collection.

I've heard that a lot of people are going to buy BOTH versions of the game. Is there any real point in this?collectors value, mostly.

I'm one of those though.This may be a dim question but I haven't seen anything around that answers it. Apart from the control system is there any difference between the two version? Graphics, content, anything confirmed?not anounced at this time... Zelda TP was running on a GC on E3 (and it was the only game at that), but nintendo stated that the GC version would probably be stripped out of the 16:9 anamorphic screen option, that might be Nintendo trying to shift more Wii versions or a matter of framerate at parts of the game, the game shown at E3 was running at a stable 30 frames per second, but with more detailed enviments and such it might dip.

Anyway... no graphical diferences appart from that were announced.

As for content... there is some sort of "online" mode for Zelda TP, nintendo didn't say more than that though.

Those sakuras look beautiful :D but I don't like the look of the 2D texture trees on the top of the hill/limit of the scenario... it would look better without them actually.

[Hellfire]

True about those textures, I doubt they'll keep them.

[Shino]

It seems like they made the rest of the game to complete the fishing game and not a fishing to complete the main game.

[Jamba]

you lost me.... :cry:

[blender]

the windwaker wand was a hint at the future of nintendo.

The TP rod will be nintendo's future.


YES FISHING

well i m very closely following this thread and i did not see, even now it is NOT in the previous pages. i have quickly skimmed through from 78-this page and no sign of that image.:idea:

back-on-topic: it's the draw-distance that really impresses me along side many more

LOL How many times have you said that in the last couple of days. Im not having a go at you I just find it funny thats all.

[DCK]

There's a new fishing vid (http://media.wii.ign.com/media/748/748589/vids_1.html). The guy playing it sucks at fishing but it's as gorgeous as the previous footage :smile:

Good Times ....

[Goron_3]

I went absolutely nuts when i saw that trailer. It was probably the most amazing moment ever; especially when you consider that Nintendo never even gave out a hint that they would show a new realistic zelda...All I remember was hearing rumours about Wind waker 2, so i wet myself (twice) when they showed this.

[Fresh]

SOLD!!!:bouncy:

[That Guy]

This is probably the only time i will ever get the same game twice, seriously.

I'm actually considering getting Gamecube and Wii versions of it. I'd never do that with any other game. Think I may play OOT over the next couple of months since I'm running short of games to play now. Getting really excited now.

Well it's really getting on my nerves.

To be fair to the guy, when I came to look at the image yesterday it was just a red X.

[Hero-of-Time]

That is one of my most precious gaming memories. The fact that they just spung it on us with the epic music from Conan and then reaction of the crowd when they see Link it all brought tears to my eyes. Then there was the crazy Yank shouting " YOU DA MAN!!" when Shigsy came out.

Haha, yeah and him shouting "Oh my God! Oooh shit!" during the Zelda trailer.

[McMad]

BEST REACTION EVER!!!!!!!!!

Those guys went frigging crazy, although i don't blame them.

I think i could hear an adult Nintendo 64 kid there aswell.

[That Guy]

I'd be worse than you lot if they released a Shenmue III trailer. I think I would actually cry.

[Hero-of-Time]

I'd be worse than you lot if they released a Shenmue III trailer. I think I would actually cry.

No one would hold it against you, besides I believe Stocka would be joining you as would many a gamer. I really should play Shenmue 2.....

Back on topic I dont know if this has been mentioned already ( I checked last 2 pages and didnt see anything ) speculation is flying around that the seasons change in TP and not only that but we will see Link grow up. Here are the links...

Allow me to transcribe the info from the links you gave to give a boost in the discussion...

the seasons are looking awesome:

And the other things revealed...

Another thing I can confirm is that you will also see Child Link in Zelda: Twilight Princess in the form of a memory flashback rather then playable. According to TSA the flashback ties into the end of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time. According to TSA the game takes place over several years so this is why I believe that the Link in Zelda: Twilight Princess is the same as in Zelda: Ocarina Of Time. I will still leave this as speculation for now. On TSA's website he has a picture of the Hylian Loach which makes a second appearence in Zelda: Twilight Princess:

Now, don't forget the spoiler tags when commenting this one...

[Konfucius]

Changing seasons would be superb and imagine that some things can only be done during certain season - this game gets more and more epic by the minute.

Responding to PedroCasilvas spoilertag:

If it happened after OoT that means actually after MM because adult Link is as old as this one and child Link travelled through time to the future so it can't be set in between since he has been in the chamber of Sages for seven years.
Whenever it will be I like the idea of flashbacks, should make for some very emotional moments seeing past Zelda games.

[Hero-of-Time]

Yeah but there is the theory of 2 timlines. One is the Hyrule with Link as a kid after OOT then the other is the Hyrule after Adult Link saved Hyrule in the future. Indeed though you are correct in saying that the MM Link is OOT Link, does anyone know the time period between OOT and MM?

[Tellyn]

Majora's Mask Link is Ocarina Link. Link returned to child form near the end of OOT, and a story inbetween tells that he lost Navi. It is Link because he still has the Ocarina of Time and his sword. I have a theory though that Majora's Mask takes place before OOT, because Link becomes a child again, and if time reverses, then his adult self is still on the quest to save Hyrule.

[pedrocasilva]

Let's not go into the timeline again :p

There's already a thread for it here:
-> http://www.revo-europe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5982
(post your theories there if you will ;))

If it really ties with OoT ending we are talking about that specific moment, not MM, we must be talking of Hero of Time in his prime as a adult, after defeating Ganon?

-------- now it's time for speculation --------

Maybe the child looked at him and thought "wow I wanna be like him" while Hero-of-Time gave out a cold, indiferent stare at him.

Also... did this child see Ganon up front then? how cool would be that when this child as a adult finally sees Ganon again in Zelda TP?

Which Hero of Time are you talking about Pedro? The child Link or the Adult Link? It was the Adult who beat Ganon but saying that it was still really the Child Link when he went back in time. I mean he was still the Hero of Time....Zelda timelines and the different Links give me a headache. I wish Nintendo would sort it out, then again at least it gives us something to talk about on the net.

In the encounter I was talking... child link would be the one from TP the future to be hero, whereas the adult link would be... Hero of Time... on it's prime.

I think that would be the best possible setting, a child seeing a hero like that could only feel admiration...

And if the child met/saw Ganon he would be petrified, it would be dynamic to re-harsh him fighting that fear/trauma years after

[Shino]

WTF the game has seasons?!

[Tellyn]

Apparently so.

[James McGeachie]

I dont think the seasons stuff is confirmed just from those shots, there could be another explanation for it, like trees that change depending on the whether or something. It'd be an interesting feature though for sure.

[JimmyPage]

ICE FISHING!111!!! would be a bit of fun :D no boat usage though, i hope the weather changes the landscape and stuff on a daily basis, like Ice one day, then melting the next when the sun's out. would like to fix it to summer though

[DCK]

WTF the game has seasons?!
Exactly my thought :bouncy:
Sometimes I just want to bow down and pray facing east, towards Kyoto.

[Dante]

WTF the game has seasons?!

Or this game has different types of trees! :shock: :indeed:

[pedrocasilva]

Or this game has different types of trees! :shock: :indeed:Doesn't seem like it as it's all in the same fishing area... it would be mentioned by the people who played it at E3 otherwise.

[Shino]

Or this game has different types of trees! :shock: :indeed:

=O ... Nah! That's so much more unlike to happen than seasons.

[Demuwan]

This game is gonna be DEEP.

[ShadowV7]

Or maybe you have the Wand of Seasons in this game :heh: Hope not.

[Zero]

In my opinion there is only one timeline. I dont think we should think we should be trying to make sense of the time travelling because some of the time travelling elements in oot isnt logical.

How can ganondorf still be locked in the chamber of sages in the past if it happened in the future

[ShadowV7]

You finally got the spoiler working :) It's to hard to even fit the timeline right now anyway.The different trees or 'seasons' could just be in different areas.

[Zero]

Well we wont know anything until nintendo decides to tell us or until the game is actually released :heh:

[Hero-of-Time]

You finally got the spoiler working :) It's to hard to even fit the timeline right now anyway.The different trees or 'seasons' could just be in different areas.

What, so its Winter at one end of Hyrule and Summer at the other? We were warned how big this games was gonna be :D

[ShadowV7]

Well it was like that in Termina, one area was all winter and the other areas were all nice and sunny.

[Hero-of-Time]

Well it was like that in Termina, one area was all winter and the other areas were all nice and sunny.

Indeed that was one freaked out place. Wasnt the winter part just a "curse" though? When you beat that temple all the snow melted.

[ShadowV7]

Did it melt outside at the Termina field? I can't remember.

[Hero-of-Time]

Did it melt outside at the Termina field? I can't remember.

Hmm not sure, I think the snow there may have stayed. Its been a while since I played it.

[ShadowV7]

Same here,by any chance some one played it recentley :heh:

[Zero]

I've just played through it and i still cant remember

[Hero-of-Time]

Well a great bunch we are aint we...where is Stocka I know he was playing it not too long ago.

[ShadowV7]

Oh well guess we just have to wait till we play it ,which will hopefully be soon... *looks at Nintendo*

Hope your right about Stocka ,I think I read he was playing it a while ago.

[Zero]

The snow at the temple stays there and the snow where you enter from termina field

[JimmyPage]

It does disappear i think, as do the lizard thingies nearby. Not 100% sure though, i'll go beat the temple again and check for you :D

[The3rdChildren]

This game needs to come out soon. It needs to be mine.

[Zero]

i did just beat the temple. thats what happens

[JimmyPage]

I just beat the temple, and the snow is still there in Termina =/ and there are big lumps of snow throwing things at me :( nyoh well, there ya go.

[Hero-of-Time]

I just beat the temple, and the snow is still there in Termina =/ and there are big lumps of snow throwing things at me :( nyoh well, there ya go.

*Hands cookies to Jimmy and Zero*

[Goron_3]

I'm just sad because I'm so sure Link will die at the end....:(

[Tellyn]

But he might not....

[Goron_3]

But it would make so much sense if he did though. He will probably sarcifice his life and end up drowning Hyrule or something (hence why hyrule is underwater in WW...ok that theory sucks, but u get my point lol).
Anyway, if this is the last zelda as we know it, and as this is the most beautiful creation nintendo has achieved, it could well be Link dies....

[ShadowV7]

He might die,might not.Theories can befor and against.If he does die it won't end with the flood because it doesn't fit the timeline.Could be him and zelda get close and she get's killed and in a blind rage link goes after Ganon or dies,or link beats ganon but it the end credits ends with ganon rising from the dead.Just need to wait and see.

[McMad]

If he does die it won't end with the flood because it doesn't fit the timeline.

Who cares about the timeline?

There is no proper timeline.

[Hellfire]

He might die,might not.Theories can befor and against.If he does die it won't end with the flood because it doesn't fit the timeline.
Not sure I'm getting what you're trying to say.:wtf:

[EchoDesiato]

Oh boy, we're not going to get into the timeline again, are we? Shigeru Miyamoto is probably even more in the dark about it than us.

[Hellfire]

We have nothing else to talk about, if you don't like it just don't read it. Waiting for a Zelda is a hard task, but ultimately rewarding.

[EchoDesiato]

It's just that I think the timeline won't ever make any sense. It's called the Legend of Zelda for a reason. Legends are just stories that are passed among generations of people. Zelda is something like that, it's a story about a hero. Due to being told a lot the story changes over time (or new stories are being created), which gives us different games starring multiple Links. I'm not saying it's like this with all Zelda games though, some games do influence eachother storywise (like how WW is set after OoT).
That's just how I see it, and I hope anyone can understand what I have just typed.

[Stocka]

Anyone heard the Overworld music?
It's lovely. So similar to OOT yet so refreshing and unique.

[James McGeachie]

I doubt it's the final overworld music at this point, it's from early 2005 after all and I dont think there was any direct confirmation it was real in the first place, none of the demos of the game ever let you explore the overworld normally or anything, just fight on in an intense battle.

[solitanze]

I'm curious, how are all you guys going to react if this game ends up being a 9/10 game on average? Would you feel that you have wasted your time building anticipation for this game in this 2000+ posts forum topic that ends up scoring inferior to Wind Waker with both critic and user reviews? This would be a pretty sad outcome and i'll be extremely disappointed if this were the case, considering the lengthy delay this game has had in order to "improve" it... :nono:

Regardless of the outcome, whether it'd be positive or negative, it'll be an essential purchase for me without a doubt. But I am really hoping that this game can at least get into the top 5 for the all time greatest games on sites such as gamerankings.com and metacritic.com and knock off overrated games such as Grand Theft Auto and Metal Gear Solid further down the list and perhaps even pass the great fighting game Soul Calibur on Dreamcast.

[Demuwan]

I'm curious, how are all you guys going to react if this game ends up being a 9/10 game on average?


Impossible. 10/10 average best game ever period.:yay:

At least we had 2000+ posts of entertainment... This thread alone gave us nine months of fun.

[Fanelia]

I don't think it will receive many perfect scores, cause many reviewers will be frustrated or so with the lack of voice-acting.

[MunKy]

True, but I'd rather have more content than voices. Any gamer would, unless theyre stupid.

[The Peeps]

I don't care what rating the game gets, as long as I enjoy it then that's all that matters.

[Hero-of-Time]

Anyone heard the Overworld music?
It's lovely. So similar to OOT yet so refreshing and unique.

It had better be the Overworld music off the original Zelda, Link to the Past and Majoras Mask. That is the ONLY thing I didnt like about OOT, they changed the classic Overworld music to something else. It was still a great song but it just wasnt the same.

[Hellfire]

True, most reviewers will say
Great game,but it has no voice acting and it doesn't look like a PS3 game! Shocker!
Seriously I don't care. I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that this will be an awesome game, best game ever or not, we'll see.
Anyway, anyone has the overworld theme? Cause I cut myself from videos.

[Stocka]

I want remixed Alttp Dark World music for the twilight realm. God I love that theme.

[Hero-of-Time]

I want remixed Alttp Dark World music for the twilight realm. God I love that theme.

Very True, in fact most of the music in LTTP was amazing. I just recently played through it again and despite being the easiest of the Zeldas ( beat it 100% in around 8-10 hours ) it is still my 2nd favourite after OOT.

[djamb3]

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess music (http://gonintendo.com/?p=2921)

Reader jonathan0321 managed to come across a collection of some of the music to be featured in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. There are some plays on classic themes, along with some mix of new. Make sure you download the archive below and check out the music for yourself.

[KKOB]

will the saves on the Wii and GC version be interchangable so you can progress through both?

can i like start a game on wii then continue it using the GC control?

and has everyone saw the real alternate world design in EGM-i like it :D

[Tellyn]

I hope you can do that with the saves and be able to switch controllers. That music is good, I like the new YOU GOT AN ITEM! theme.

[Hellfire]

It's new alright. If you never played a Zelda game before.

[Tellyn]

It is new, they've done a new score for it if you listen.

[Hellfire]

OH MY GOD! NINTENDO 64!!!!!!!! OK I'm done. BUT TINGLE RPG ISN'T CANCELLED!

[Dante]

Mogitate Tingle Bara Iro Rupee Land Infomation

The DS title, which takes place in the era of The Wind Waker, is titled in Japan as Mogitate Tingle Bara Iro Rupee Land. In Tingle RPG, you play as the Tingle from The Wind Waker before he becomes...well...Tingle. And Tingle is single. Aparrently Tingle gets word he has to head out to some spring, and along the way he meets a guy named Rupeeji, which IGN says translates to "Old Man Rupee" Tingle learns that by collecting rupees and tossing them into the spring (just like in A Link to the Past), he'll magically open a path to "Rupee Land". When Tingle accepts the Old Man's quest, he is transformed into the horror we all know as Tingle.

Tingle has to utilize money in order to help out members of villages, to pass through obstacles and other stuff. However, beyond these simple tasks, not much else is known about the game.

But wait, it gets better. There is a women fairy named Pingle, who hangs out at Tingle's house, and has a relationship with the Tingle-meister (maybe he's not gay, but judging from the above screen, we now have some serious concerns about Pingle). Nintendo will be release details soon as the game is slated for a 2006 release in Japan.

When Tingle accepts the Old Man's quest, he is transformed into the horror we all know as Tingle.

Tingle has to utilize money in order to help out members of villages, to pass through obstacles and other stuff. However, beyond these simple tasks, not much else is known about the game.

But wait, it gets better. There is a women fairy named Pingle, who hangs out at Tingle's house, and has a relationship with the Tingle-meister (maybe he's not gay, but judging from the above screen, we now have some serious concerns about Pingle). Nintendo will be release details soon as the game is slated for a 2006 release in Japan.

The new Nintendo magazine and DVD is great. But if you've seen most the Vids from E3 you would have seen most of whats on the DVD. But there are vids taken first hand by the staff. Definitely worth the money I think.

Zelda is looking more beautiful with each sreenshot. Honestly if the graphics are the same on the Gamecube and Wii I'm pleasantly suprised with what the Cube can do. Is anyone here going to buy the Gamecube version? I might have to get both.

[Zell]

Why would you get the gcn version if you had the wii version? The controlls are practically the same: its still A and R (C or Z on wii) for context sensitivity and B for sword. The only differences is that instead of aiming with the analogue stick, you aim with the wiimote. Getting both is a waste of money.

[Dante]

Now Tingles DS its called Fresh Tingle's Rose Colored Rupee Land.

June 8, 2006 - Nintendo's Tingle RPG is no longer vaporware. Nintendo has at long last shared first details on the new DS offshoot of Zelda: Wind Waker, properly known in Japan as Mogitate Tingle Bara Iro Rupee Land.

First, an explanation of that name. The title translates to "Fresh Tingle's Rose Colored Rupee Land." If Nintendo of America had translated Tingle's name as Tinkle (which is how the Japanese name is written in the first place), this would have been the best title ever. If Nintendo had further decided to make this game for the Wii, our work day would've ended early today (although it should be noted that the Japanese don't apply the same connotations to Wii and Tinkle that we do).

We'll refer to the game as Tingle RPG from here on.

In Tingle RPG, you play as the Wind Walker treasure specialist when he was 35 and single, before his transformation into Tingle form. The main character gets word that he ought to head out to a spring. He does so, and along the way, he comes in contact with Rupeeji, a name that can be translated to Old Man Rupee. Rupeeji tells the main character that by collecting rupees (which, in case you aren't into Zelda, is the currency of Hyrule, the kingdom in which the series takes place) and throwing them at the spring, he'll be lead to the dream land of Rupee Land. He accepts the quest and, through a magic spell, gets transformed into Tingle.

We're not quite sure what Tingle RPG is all about just yet. Money will play a big part in the game, though -- that much is for sure. You'll have to give up money in order to please the members of town. You'll have to give up money in order to pass through gates. What exactly you do in town once those townfolk are pleased, and what lies beyond those gates, are mysteries for now.

Tingle has a guide in the game, a girl fairy called Pingle (this name would've been Pinkle if Nintendo hadn't been shy with its original naming). Pinkle appears in a monitor in Tingle's house. Her relationship with Tingle is unknown, but it seems as though shell greet the hero at the end of each work day.

Obviously, Nintendo's left us in the dark on quite a bit regarding Tingle RPG. The game is still set for some time in 2006, though, so we expect solid details soon enough.

Advantages of Wii over Cube version:
1, it runs at 60fps instead of 30fps.
2, It will have some better graphical touches such as water and fire effects (apparently).
3, You probably will be able to use the GCN pad.
4, Its pretty, new and on a huge DVD disk :P

[DCK]

Wii version for me anyway :smile:

Where have you found the 60 fps news Jordan?

[James McGeachie]

None of that is news, it's just natural assumption. In that recent EGM or whatever interview Aounuma said there'll perhaps be "slight graphical upgrades", which makes sense since they have the ability to do so and it'll help the game look more appealing to people. The most obvious upgrade would be a smoother framerate (60fps instead of 30fps) though it's likely there'll be other updates too like improved effects, lighting and what not. On the other hand, there very likely wont be higher polycounts or higher resolution textures.

[somme]

I hope this game will live up to all the hype.

[Hero-of-Time]

I hope this game will live up to all the hype.

Its Zelda.....Nuff Said!

[Zell]

Hype? if anything the game's lost hype through the massive delay and all the hype surrounding the wii.

[Fierce_LiNk]

The game is starting to regain its hype. It's slowly starting to gain momentum.
Coming out on Wii launch day and using the Wii-mote's functions have really made up for the delay, imo. Playing a new Zelda game on a new Nintendo console. :)

[somme]

I might buy the GC version simply because if it's got 100+ hours of gaming, waving a Wiimote around for that length of time would hurt.

[ShadowV7]

I might buy the GC version simply because if it's got 100+ hours of gaming, waving a Wiimote around for that length of time would hurt.
You don't wave it about much.

[somme]

"Much" still implies waving. I'm lazy.

[Fierce_LiNk]

You could probably get better results by using smaller movements with the wrist. You don't need to make large exaggerated movements to get good results. That's been overexaggerated.

[somme]

I suppose. No doubt I'll get the Wii version, but I would like the option to choose, even in the wii version.

[Zell]

You should overexaggerate in your movements: it would burn some of those calories and could prove good exercise!

[somme]

I don't need to move to burn calories I have drugs for that. :P

[Stocka]

Back to Zelda...

[ShadowV7]

Well I just watched some music videos that people made and it's hyped me up again.Only about 5 odd months...

[Stocka]

It's weird to think it could have been released 7 months ago like we were all expecting. I couldn't be more pleased about the delay now.

[Owen]

It's weird to think it could have been released 7 months ago like we were all expecting. I couldn't be more pleased about the delay now.

I kinda agree. I just wish that would tell us a Wii launch date and pirce now. I understand them wanting to be really ready to confirm it but i think there taking the mick a little now espicially after delaying a game they said would come out last November (for sure, supposadely) and then not telling us when it's still going to be released a whole 7 MONTHS later, i mean talk about making us wait....

I'm still bitter! :hehe:

It be worth it though; i know, but people do need to set-out there money etc... and what to save ready for launch and telling us two months before it's released (announced probably end of August, released end of October beginning of November) isn't long enough! Hopefully people have already started saving. :wink:

Still it makes no difference, Nintendo can't do know wrong at the mo! :D

[Tellyn]

i CAN'T SAVE UP BECAUSE i DON'T KNOW WHAT i'M SAVING FOR!!!

[ShadowV7]

i CAN'T SAVE UP BECAUSE i DON'T KNOW WHAT i'M SAVING FOR!!!
A Wii and Twilight Princess?

[Tellyn]

Sorry about the Caps Lock earlier, didn't realise. Yes, but I mean I don't have a money target.

[ShadowV7]

I don't either,i'm just going by estimate just now untill official confirmation.

[Tellyn]

If it's 200 pounds then they have misled us. I hope it's 150 and the games are around 35.

[Stocka]

Whatever the price is I'm sure it won't cost more than £200 for a Wii + Zelda.

[Fierce_LiNk]

If it's 200 pounds then they have misled us. I hope it's 150 and the games are around 35.

The thing you have to take into consideration is that they might do bundles. I.E. Wii, controller, headset, memory cards/sd cards, etc. Then, games.

[pedrocasilva]

The thing you have to take into consideration is that they might do bundles. I.E. Wii, controller, headset, memory cards/sd cards, etc. Then, games.I'm all... yay for bundles :yay:

I'd buy the one with 2 wiimote controllers included and the extra acessory to play DVD's (not that i'll use it), a game included would be nice too.

[Fierce_LiNk]

At the moment, i'm definitely going to get Zelda and Wii on launch day. Not sure what other accessories and games i will get though.

[Stefkov]

Im gonna get the bundle with the better game probbably of course or just the dearest one.
hopefully one bundle will be a wii, 2 wiimotes, headset*, DVD playback thing, Classic controller, Zelda, Mario galaxy, 2 free VC downloads.
all for maybe £299.99/£329.99

When you go to twilight princess for gamecube, the screenshots they show are still with the black&white look for the twilight world. There are no screenshots for the Wii version, but we've all seen those screenshots with the bloom effects.
So I think that the bloom effects are only for Wii. Well, that, or they were a bit lazy and didn't update the screenshots for the gamecube version.

Any thoughts?

[Hellfire]

Those images are old.

[Hero-of-Time]

So I was driving home from work this morning with my Zelda cd blasting in the car which game me the idea of asking this.

What is your favourite Overworld theme on a Zelda game?

For me its the one from A Link To The Past as its the classic Zelda tune from the original game but better. Plus it was the first Zelda game I ever played so it always brings back good memories. Sure Majoras Mask had a version in of it but it wasnt the same.

A close second would be Wind Wakers tune. It just seemed so right skimming across the ocean with that music playing and the way it faded in and out when an enemy attacked you was genius. This song helped alot when searching for the Triforce pieces.

[myster0n]

Those images are old.
Yes they are.
My question was : did they use the old images because they couldn't be bothered to update them, or because the GC version will use the old graphics and the new ones that use bloom are only for Wii ?

[Dcubed]

Probably just didn't bother to update them. The E3 trailer was from the GCN version and it looked the same as the Wii version graphics wise.

[DCK]

The answer is that it's not using bloom. The only difference between Wii and GCN is controls and some parts of the level design; graphics wise there's widescreen and maybe 60 fps but that's it.

The effect on that screenshot in the Twilight World is a simpler shader effect that the Cube can do. The Metroid Primes used it too.

[myster0n]

So this means the marketing guys at Nintendo are just a bunch of lazy bastards. Somehow I'm not surprised...

[Emasher]

Yeah I absolutely love the Wind Waker Overworld tune, makes me feel all warm inside, as does the Hyrule Field theme.
I don't know about favourite as it all depends on how you feel, but probably Wind Waker.

[myster0n]

[Zell]

My favourite zelda overworld theme is the one from the Link's Awakening... it was the 1st zelda game i ever played, and that tune still brings back memories.

[Raven]

*laughs* touche!
they are anything but marketing guys! :indeed:

[DCK]

Yeah I absolutely love the Wind Waker Overworld tune, makes me feel all warm inside...Yeah, me too. It was the only reason why didn't mind the sailing. I'd also always use the Sun's Song to make it day again, because there's no night theme :smile:

The Majora's Mask overworld theme is a good second.

[Hellfire]

I think my fave is still OoTs, even though WW and MM is a close second. Hearing the Zelda theme replay over and over in ALttP was irritating, even if it's one of the best musics ever created.

[EchoDesiato]

Alttp's Dark Overworld theme is the best piece of music Koji Kondo has ever created.

[FalcoLombardi]

I haven't really read this thread because I'd rather be completely surprised by everything in the game, like I was with OOT.

But since you're on the subject of Koji Kondo, I may read it some more. :)

And as for my favorite KK song, it has to be Gerudo Valley.

[Zero]

And as for my favorite KK song, it has to be Gerudo Valley.

I would agree with u there. Especially the orchestrated version.

[Shino]

I don't know if it's from Koji Kondo, but the Windmill song is hypnotizing. There's something mystical about that place.

[Blue_Ninja0]

I don't know if all of these are from Koji Kondo.
The music of the openning story in WW. That music before you fight ganondorf in OOT (makes an appearance in WW too). Also the one of the last 6 hours of the last day on MM, i don't know why but it just gave me the feel of impending doom and sadness.

[Shyguy]

<3 Sarias Song (or something like that) 1 that is played on a orcarina or sounds like it is

[Stocka]

I also liked the music in the observatory in MM

[mario_jr]

all the songs are great, they add so much emotion to the game.:bouncy::weep: :love:

Except for the Goron City theme. That one's just plain annoying after four seconds :woops:

Anyway you guys might have noticed by now that Link is holding the Master Sword in his hand in one of the new pieces of artwork.

How do you think he is going to get it.

Will it be in the Temple of Time?
Will it be in the Lost Woods?
Maybe someone's crazy idea that Midna is actually the essence of the Master Sword might turn out to be true.

[Zell]

Maybe its a replica?!?!?

[Mike]

Does anyone remember when TP was announced two years ago, Nintendo said that in dungeons, you'd see the action from above, and the camera would zoom in during battles? Has this feature definitely been dropped now, then?

[pedrocasilva]

Has this feature definitely been dropped now, then?I think so, but nintendo never said a final word on it... thankfully if that camera makes it to the game it'll be optional, not obrigatory.

[DCK]

The camera does seem to be a bit zoomed out more than in the previous games, but it shouldn't make much of a difference.

True, just when I read that the tune started to play in my head. I was like "Ahh F*ck!":mad: It is one annoying song, and that baby from MM doesn't help it one bit, unless it wants to help it be more annoying, if so then congradulations they did it.:wtf:

[Tellyn]

Has anyone here got Minish Cap? It's such a great game, a classic Zelda storyline but it's been overshadowed by Link to the Past and Wind Waker. I just beat the Fortress of Winds, got the magical boomerang through a lot of Kinstone trading, got the Ocarina of Wind and am trying to open the path to the next dungeon in the library.

Yes I have it. It's truely a very good entry and the minish things is better implemented than I could imagine. It also captures that WW style. :yay:

[Social]

The Minish Cap is what I'm playing for the second time again now and I think it's not that great at all. Love the graphics and the settings but there's too much " what the fuck do i do now " going around in that game

[Tellyn]

Does anyone know how to get into the Goron place? When I get Kinstone trades I see that Gorons are breaking into some tunnel, and more keep joining them to help. But theres a hole blocking with a rock to roll into it on the OTHER side. I just got the Power Bracelets, and I have no idea how to help the Minish push the book down into the scholars house.

[Zell]

The Goron tunnel isn't part of the main game (I think, I completed it a while ago) but I think you get a useful item from it.

The cave is in the Lon Lon Ranch region. To the right of the cave the is a small cliff which you can jump off into a tornado, sending you into the air, where you can then direct yourself over to the left onto a nearby cliff where the cave is (you will have to watch your shadow in order to make it over).

[Tellyn]

Thanks I'm into the tunnel now. Just need two more Gorons to bring down the six Goron wall.

[pedrocasilva]

Nintendo is really lefting us in the cold with this one, it's been a while since we've got news on Zelda TP :(

I know!

The games gonna rock but i'm really dissapointed in Nintendo with this one. I think we have waited long enough for it and i really don't know whats taking them so long to announce a launch-date and price for this and Wii.

The only good thing about hearing nothing, is nothing is spoiled and it will be great when you get your hands on it.

I just wish Nintendo would say the Wii and Zelda etc.. are out November ''6th'' 2006 and be done with it.

[Kurtle Squad]

I had a nightmare this game turned out to be under average and nothing like what we've seen *shudder*

Guys stop whinging about there being a lack of news. We've had 4 awesome trailers, not many games get that, and Zelda is one of those games that is best enjoyed without knowing too much about the adventure that lies ahead of you.
I agree it'd be nice for a price for Wii and date for both TP and Wii, but remember Nintendo said 'by September' so don't expect anything till at least late July.

the game is to come out this year are they going into a blackout till then? I want news... I don't care about what they say they may even say the polygon counts of the characters on screen as long as it is Zelda related...

Oh, and I'd love to see news pics, specially of the city, that one looked great on E3, shame there are no High Res pics.

On OoT... Spirit Temple, on WW: Tower of gods.

[Blue_Ninja0]

Tower of Gods in WW too.
In MM i loved the Stone Tower Temple, it's so efing great and hard
Water Temple and the Forest Temple in OOT.
These made scars in my mind.

[Shino]

Tower of Gods in WW too.
Forest Temple in OOT.


Those, the Fire temple in WW, because you get to see the ocean from the outside and that made the game feel BIG and also because I saw the movies in the E3 and I was so happy to see it myself.

And Ganon's Castles in WW and OOT (I love the finales).

[Stefkov]

I have never played MM, so im gonna have to download it. Ive missed out on so much, im gonna have to get all the past Zeda games aswell, to know what most of you are talking about.

Get Zelda Collector's Edition :smile:

[Shino]

Is it normal for you guys in britain to get golden cartridges or the golden versions of Zelda?

[...]

I am from Portugal, like you Shino, and I have the golden cart of Zelda MM. My OoT is the regular grey cart though.

My favourite dungeon out of OoT is the Forest Temple, I can't explain why. I know Spirit Temple destroys it in artistic style and graphics, but I just prefer the Forest Temple.
In MM the best is of course Stone Tower. If you think it's eerie in the begining, wait until you get to "the second half". You're in for one of the most genius dungeons in gaming history. Once you see the complete picture and what they did, it cannot be denied.

Yeah, i don't know how they could architect that, it must have been so hard to make it, it's genious.

I'm Tuga too, i'll post a pic of my collector's edition of WW and MM, just to bragg about it. :p

It will be worthy, the game's so eerie, dark and moody, it's fantastic to me. Try to complete some or all the sidequests, they'r almost 50% of the game. Completing the Anju and Kafei one was so satisfatory, because i was trying to solve it from the beggining of the game to the end.

[Zero]

My favourite dungeon in oot is probably the shadow temple. mm, stone tower and ww probably tower of the gods

what was everyones favourite boss battle. i would say ganon or dark link(well not really a boss but still fun)

[EchoDesiato]

The Forest Temple in OoT had this amazing atmosphere, my favourite.
I also love MM's Stone Tower Temple, had some really fun puzzles and minibosses and boss. Though I thought it was a bit easy for a final dungeon.
Tower of the Gods in Wind Waker had an amazing boss.
Can't really pick a dungeon from ALttP, I always preferred the 3D Zeldas.

[Hellfire]

hard to say... forest temple had an amazing atmosphere and water and spirit temple rocked hard. Ikana Castle and Stone temple in MM ruled too.

[...]

My favourite dungeon in oot is probably the shadow temple.

It's my least favourite. Just because it feels like deja vu because it repeats the Well themes and music. Whenever I play OoT I always find it a chore to do both the Well and the Shadow Temple.



what was everyones favourite boss battle. i would say ganon or dark link(well not really a boss but still fun)

Ganondorf and Ganon in OoT are absolute classics. I find Dark Link very boring, you just hit him with the hammer over and over and he dies (he doesn't block or counter-attack the hammer).... not fun. But the environment is magical.

MM has probably the worst boss battles ever. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v69/steele/smileys/lol.gif However, the boss from the Snowpeak Temple has its fun factor, for some odd reason.

I haven't played the other Zeldas, only the N64 ones.

[Blue_Ninja0]

Bosses... let's see:

Dark Link in OOT because it was so hard (i didn't knew about the megaton trick)
Twinmold because it was freaking huge
That fake ganondorf on the forest temple in OOT
Twinrova in OOT
The one in the end of the fire dungeon in WW (can't recall the name) because i loved the gfx in that scene
AND... GANON in oot, that last fight had a great atmosfere.

[LazyBoy]

Favourite dungeon would be the water temple. Frustrating, I know, but it was just so rewarding, and that scene afterwards with Sheik was just pure magic.

Best boss, Ganondorfend of OoT, hands down. Just too epic.

[Goron_3]

I hated the water temple, SO ANNOYING! I found Dark Link easy though, because I used the Broken Goron sword and the gasme doesn't detect it, so dark Link just walks into you, just BEGGING to become a dead duck!

[Stocka]

The dungeons in A Link to the Past are so frustratingly difficult, thus giving you such a fantastic level of satisfaction when completing them.
I love the shadow temple in OOT. My most hated has to be the water temple in Majora's Mask, and that boss...O..M..G

[Zell]

Eagle's Tower, Link's Awakening. Best Dungeon Ever.

[Sparko]

Definitely agree with you there, I hate that boss! Every time I replay Majora's Mask that boss gives me so much difficulty..

I found the boss easy. Maybe i was just using some kind of trick, but i don't even remember how where we supposed to beat it.

[Zero]

Did anyone know you could roll through Ganons legs in OOT. It makes it a lot easier than running round him especially if u have run out of magic.

[Tellyn]

I'm only on the Forest Temple. :(

[McMad]

Wait until after you do the Fire Temple, then the fun begins...

[Tellyn]

I'm dreading the Water Temple.

[McMad]

I'm dreading the Water Temple.

Hahahaha, I hate what you have to do before you can go to the Water Temple.

[Tellyn]

Hmm, what do you have to do?

[McMad]

I'm not telling...

[Zero]

and its only so you can enter the water temple.

[Shino]

But it's so cool.

[Zell]

I'm dreading the Water Temple.

I seriously recommend you use a guide to complete that dungeon. Not that it's hard, but it's possible that you won't be able to get all the small keys, if you get them in a certain order. If that happens, you won't be able to unlock a certain door (which you need to go through), and thereby you won't be able to complete the dungeon, meaning that if you saved it, you would have to start your entire game again. This happenned with me :(.

Is there a prob like that in OOT? I didn't know, that's really bad. I hope they quintuple-check x 10^3 the dungeons in TP.

It's one freaking useless room.

[SpinesN]

Umm.... you can go through the water temple in the wrong order (I have done it many times). That temple is just annoying because you get lost VERY easily and those keys are DAMN hard to find. I went through the water temple guidless since I got the nintendo offical one which read like a book... "Link grabs the key from this room and leaves it"..... where in the room? they never tell you -_-

[froztyman]

I´d say the best dungeon is Dragon Roost Cavern, you get the feel that it is a place which belongs to the birdies but was just resently invaded by baddies.

Coolest boss battle is the Giant octorok in Minish Cap, why, a giant octorok thats why!

[Sparko]

I found the boss easy. Maybe i was just using some kind of trick, but i don't even remember how where we supposed to beat it.

I can't really remember the details, all I remember is that he kept swallowing Link and doing massive damage and I cursed a lot! My hatred also stems from my fear of water, which has always made me intensely dislike water related levels in games..

[Zero]

I ws thinking about buying oos and ooa but im not sure. I just wondering if any of you would recomend them.

[Hellfire]

When I was a kid the Water Temple was hard, now it's easy as pie. Probably the best dungeon ever in any game.

[The Bard]

Really? I thought it was annoying as fuck, but hey, to each his own. Of cours it's easy once you know what to do...

[Hellfire]

I don't know it like the back of my hand it's just pure logic. I've seen a friend go through it the first time recently and he did it without any kind of trouble. Just lower and rise the water when you need, not that big of a deal. In MQ it's a bit harder though.

[Fierce_LiNk]

I never really had a problem with the water temple, either. I've heard that a lot of people found that difficult, and a few also hated the great bay dungeon in majora's mask. I loved both, and i thought they were excellent dungeons.

[kav82]

I never really had a problem with it too. The only bit that lost me for a few minutes was raising a block to go under it when I was trying to get on top of it... clever me! haha

One of my favourite temples is Dragon Roost Cavern in WW. As someone said earlier, it just had a fantastic feel to it, something that sticks in my memory really well! Of course I loved OoT's temple's too, they felt so epic, they had a real grand scale!

[King_Mushroom]

Dungeons in other games just seem in-comparable.

I'm looking for a serious answer here, how many other games have such enjoyable dungeons? i certainly cant think of any. You know the classic Boss's amazing puzzles, sense of achievement and atmosphere.

hmmm, Oblivion?... nope.... Final Fantasy?... certainly not.

I honestly dont think there is another series/games out there that is comparable.

The boss from the Water Temple in MM IS easy, the timing for what you have to do is what's tricky in that fight. But no big deal.

Ironically enough, I think the first boss is the hardest in MM. Even now, 6 years later, I find that fucking boss a chore.

I can't really remember the details, all I remember is that he kept swallowing Link and doing massive damage and I cursed a lot!

Haha, this made me laugh. :grin: Lucky for us it wasn't a giant crab. :hehe:





Also, I would like to advise people NOT to use guides for OoT, Water Temple or not. I played that game in a time when I didn't even know guides existed. True I got a bit stuck in the Water Temple at the time and it was exactly the same that kav82 said. But all you have to do is watch the water raising and dropping cut scenes carefully and you'll see it. Man, I remember even today the first time I spotted that cut scene! I felt so stupid for not having seen it before but at the same time so rewarding. The funniest part is that all my mates were stuck in the same part! I'd say it's the only tough part (or key) of that dungeon or at least the toughest.

The trick to complete the Water Temple is to do the maximum amount of stuff before changing the water level. The Temple's main room, before you venture beyond it, has four sides so explore each of those four sides at each of the three water levels. That's about all I can say without spoiling anything.

[Raven]

in its time, the water temple was hard. as with the one in MM, but now playing them again, they are easy as.

never had trouble on the MM-fish boss. the only thing that could be considered tricky is learning to 'fish leap' out of the water.
ie. where you are under water, aim yourself for the surface, and fly out of the water, landing on the platform.

most enjoyed zelda temple and boss for me would have to be the spirit temple.

[Zell]

Don't know about anyone here but does anyone prefer the 2D dungeons to the 3D dungeons? Challenging dungeons like those in A Link To The Past and Link's Awakening (Eagle's tower) I found a lot more fun. Of course I still love the amazing 3D dungeons in OoT...

I find Water temple in OoT and MM and stone Tower in MM to be just as challenging, and I hope they put in some hard as hell dungeons in the upcoming Zelda TP.

[Fierce_LiNk]

I found the 2D dungeons harder, but i didn't neccessarily find them more enjoyable. I would have to say that i enjoyed exploring the dungeons in 3D.
