Blades will Bleed
Sheilds will Shatter
But as the Light fades
Will the Hero rise again
Or will darkness reign
So I was wondering is everybody as physced up as I am?
Will it be a HIT, MISS or MABEY
I'm pretty sceptical that Nintendo will ever manage to recreate the magic they gave us on the N64, even if it is humanly possible to do so.
But if could still be very good.
now, i was impressed with wind waker, and impressed that the great zelda tried a cell shaded approach to kick gannondorf in the conkers (great knorr advert). anyways, i have been dissapointed with many gc games compared with the n64, eg mario ss compared with mario 64.
however, zelda ww did not dissapoint me, and my expectations following lozoot and lozmm from the n64. although, its length was limited.

Wind Waker would have been a great game graphically if they had paid some decent japanese anime' drawers the characters would have looked much better than say out of Power Puff girls.
i would have been thoroughly impressed if an amine or manga style had been pushed to the gc limits on this game. although, the next installment is set to be more realistic, shame anime was not taken further, but not dissapointing.
It could be quality, and battle sections where perhaps you're one of the leaders of the army, and thus ahve to lead your troops forward by example could be class.
We've come to the point in technology where epic-scale battles are feasable now.
Either way, the game should rock...

It wasn't canned, it was the same game. It was also renamed "Mask of Mujulah' before it was finally titled Majora's Mask.
Just because the game changed does not mean the game was canned, it just means it evolved in development. And loads of games do.
I remember there was some old Zelda demo that was very different to anything we played.
And of course we got 2 oracle games instead of the originally planned 3.
I can imagine the land of hyrule is overthrown with enemies, a desperatly dying race of Kokiri are trying to withstand another attack. Wondering if they'd make it till the following day.
The Kokiri are saved by sheer will and a little help from the Deku Tree, but only for the time being. As they lick there wounds Gannon grows stronger.
A young boy leaves Kokiri forest at around this time and discovers another world, where a princess lays helpless.
10 years pass and Gannon returns, his army is stronger than ever and the will of the world cannot withstand him this time.
But the will and determination of one young adult can.
The young boy returns, with a new four legged friend in tow and disperses an initial attack from Gannon as the very first act in the game.
Link then sets out on an epic quest in order to stop Gannon's army from sweeping the other lands, discovering new races, saving civilisations and killing Gannon's spies, monsters and whoever else the evil king has sent into the world so he can rule the world of Hyrule.
A war is brewing...
Will you win???
> Will you win???
Well.. overall, you can't.. the Kokiri and Hyrule are dead and gone by the time of Wind Waker. Still, nice idea.
If all goes well this new Zelda game will truly rule.
