Nintendo released screenshots of a new Zelda gamme for GameCube! The game is called The Legend of Zelda (tentative title?), and looks A LOT like the Ocarina of Time for the N64. This means the game has NO CEL SHADING! The graphics...oh my gosh, look so real!

Link looks even better than he did in Soul Calibur 2. His clothes have seams and knotches, his hair is free-flowing, his shield and sword look like real metal and stone (they are shiny and actually look like the materials they are made of).

One screenshot showed Link inside a huge castle, fighting monsters and traversing through mazes. Like fought two Dinofols (I think that is what they are called), which looked real.

Another screenshot showed Link ina  feild with his horse Epona, battling an army of monsters on horseback!

Another screenshot showed Link and Epona inside a forest, surrounded by tall trees that allowed specks of light to shine through...

As I said before...The graphics look very detailed and actually look like a CG movie! I am glad that Nintendo has FINALLY made a new Zelda game for GameCube, one that looks better than the Ocarina of Time!

Go to www.nintendo.com for more info on The Legend of Zelda game for GameCube.
People who like video games should also like Nintendo. People who don't like Nintendo obviously don't like video games.

Man, this is great. A new Zelda game that isn't cel-shaded! I mean, I like WW, but Link doesn't really look intimidating when he looks like a comic character, does he?

Ahem. I believe this is General Mario Chat. Oh well.

Yes. This game looks incredibly spectacular. They also have what appears to be Wind Waker 2, but is called "Legend of Zelda The Minish Cap" for GBA.

I like how Link is wearing chain mail now.

Minish Cap is not Wind Waker 2, they are completely separate games.  Minish Cap looks like it may be based off of the Four Swords Adventures engine and is sort of a cross between LttP and Wind Waker like Four Swords Adventures is, but doesn't require 4 players.

The GCN Four Swords doesn't require 4 players.  It has a single player mode in which you control all four characters.  That makes me think of the way you controlled both Mario and Luigi in M&L:SS.  I hope Super Mario 64x4 also has the original single player mode, but lets you play as Luigi.

Luigison, I actually own the Japanese import of Four Swords +.  And that's what I meant: four characters, though it does look like Link will still be able to split into 4 from time to time in this new game...


I just found something else out about the new Zelda game that's interesting.  Believe it or not, it's running on the Wind Waker game engine.  Yet, neither Shigeru Miyamoto nor Eiji Aonouma are working on the game (they're only working as producers).

I am saddened by the turn in Zelda's wonderful graphical progress. I lay in bed for about an hour before sleeping last night just thinking about how much I liked the Wind Waker graphics and how Zelda games were supposed to look. Link, what has the marketing department done to you?

LD's just upset because it's much easier for him to kill a cartoon Lizalfos than one that looks like a real lizard.

I never said it was the sequel, I said it looked like a sequel, since it contains the same look and enemies.

Semantics - they're all sequels.

In reference to LD's signature:

Should it be "Easy Bake oven" or Easy Bake Oven"?

Lizard.  Dude, it's the breakfast of champions.

Lizard Dude:  the skinny Mario Bros.  Oh no, that should be Luigi.

What was the subject?  Oh yeah, Zelda.  Link kills Lizard Dudes.

Reports are indicating that the yet unnamed "realistic" Zelda game is in fact Wind Waker 2.

 Eh, it's only "Wind Waker 2" in regard to the engine used.

Aside from using a modified WW engine, I don't believe there's any other indication to allow it to be considered "Wind Waker 2".

I reckon it was deemed that earlier to throw people off, and now, they're using the engine as an excuse for not "lying."

 I'm not upset or anything, don't get me wrong, but the last thing we need is everyone proclaiming the new Zelda "the sequal to Wind Waker", when, infact, it is a stand-alone game.

I didn't say it was a sequel to Wind Waker as such, it's just what most of the media believes Nintendo referred to as "Wind Waker 2" on their one slide a few weeks ago.  Since Eiji Aonouma stated many months ago that he was working on WW2, some have assumed that he is working on WW2 while this other Zelda game is separate.  If you closely look at how these things were worded, though, everything seems to point towards this being what was referred to as WW2 all along, since that was to be presented at this E3.  This is of course not definite since Mario 128 was also supposed to be shown at this E3.  The new Zelda is not a Wind Waker sequel as such because it won't focus on wind-- though they haven't stated what the key feature of this game will be yet.  All Zelda games have not been sequels, many have actually been prequels, though it seems nobody can agree on a timeline anymore.  In general, it seems there had been 2 games for any given Link generation, but with so many plot inconsistencies the whole thing is quickly falling out of any coherency.  Let games just be games.
