You change your mind quickly. xD

 

But yeah, I think one of the biggest differences between this new Link and past ones is that he shows some emotion. Usually, he's just this emotionless doll, but there's actually some concern in this new one's face. Really like it, and I hope there's a good story to utilize it. (Seriously, don't sacrifice good story just for open world. Please, Aonuma.)

Yeah I want a story as good or better than Skyward Sword.

 

Despite peoples' (stupid) views on the motion controls or complaints about linearity, Skyward Sword has one of the best storylines of all the Zelda games (I think it is the best, but I haven't played many of the handheld games so I can't say for sure).

Yup. I haven't played many games Zelda or otherwise, but Skyward Sword was definitely the best game I'd played. Wind Waker HD is strongly contesting it now...

It's my favorite Zelda game, though I could just be saying that cause it was also my first zelda game...

Hope so. It's cool that Aonuma's trying to do new things with the series, but I hope he doesn't go too far. I really like Zelda games the way they are. Of course, I haven't played near as many as most others...

New things? Yeah some.

If you listen to what he says, hes just trying to get back what was lost when the series went 3d with Oot.

The way they are now are pretty great. The way they used to be was mindblowing.

Zelda Wii U - Trailer Analysis (Secrets & Hidden …:
So many tiny details.


Didn't watch it yet but if you look inside the magnifier lens he is holding the arrow and string wrong. Why do game makers never get those things translated right.

What you are thinking of is the standard grip typically taught to amateurs, or those just getting started.
fingers_set.jpg

As you saw, link held several arrows at once in his draw hand to rapid fire, a very advanced technique, which requires an advanced bow hand grip.

Andersen-1-800x533.jpg
like the one rapid fire champ Lars Anderson uses.

in fact, everything shown in the trailer, including jumping from ones horse and firing, was done by ancient archers... And now Lars anderson using that grip.

Looks like they did a better job researching this than you gave them credit for.

That is Link by the way... Aonuma was just trolling us.


I like to the think of him being an assassin, with the bow and arrow and the cloak and the horse, seems pretty cool.

 

But Link doesn't kill people. I heard someone think he might be a hunter, but Zelda has always been animal friendly (especially TP, and don't count Cucco's in other games)


No sig.

What do you think they herded those goats for in twilight princess? A goat collection?

Them were dinner goats.

lol love this

 

 

But yeah, just because he is (possibly) a hunter-gatherer for his village doesn't mean Nintendo will have us hunting and skinning animals. I wouldn't mind having that but I'm sure the Elder Scrolls games have that and I'm already sick of the comparisons. Plus I don't want Zelda to have too many RPG elements since it has always been an adventure game.

I am getting a tremendous studio Ghibli vibe from this.

Like Castle in the sky, with the evironments, the ancient technological ruins covered in moss and overgrowth being reactivated.

And princess mononoke, which, the trailer basically is a huge homage to the first scenes of that movie. They directly parallel in a large number of ways.

Perhaps its a response/homage to Hayao Miyazaki finally retiring?

Considering I'm actually not only a accomplished rifle hunter but archer as well I' m just gonna ignore you and not gonna bother explaining it to a city boy. The horse back comment makes it extreme obvious and not worth my time as it sounds like you belive anything you read or see.

It's a game with Elves and Faires and tall green skinned gingers trying to take over the world. It's not Cabellas Hick Hunting Simulator 2014.

Can you explain it to this city boy then? Because that certainly didn't look CGI...

I now that I'm not the one who went crazy posting a bunch of youtube stuff am I. The only thing I mentioned in my original post was didn't get to watch the vid yet and noticed he wasn't holding the bow proper. As usual he went bipolar placing words in my mouth.  I prefer redneck RACIST lol also I thought link was a forgive spelling hylian. And what is a ginger0_o never heard that one.

Because the only way I could see the videos not being "true" is if it's cgi. I mean he's clearly shooting pretty well...
