Ok so we don't but here are two rumours one very heavily rumoured whilst the other only hinted at.
The First Rumour (the smaller rumour) is in regard to Mario Sunshine, You know the game thats supposed to be more adult but simply features a cuter Mario with Jeans and a back pack on well apprently that is about to follow in the footsteps of Zelda (or Cel-Da as it is being called) and is going to be Cell Shaded... Why? well maybe it will be more clear when i discuss the HEAVY RUMOUR.
The Heavily Rumoured erm rumour involves Zelda (or Cel-da) as Shigsy is apparently re-working so it can, wait for it, go back to the adult Zelda look. This is heavily rumoured NGC is going on about it in there reacent publication and its an interesting one at that, has Shigsy switched games? Will Link now have some sort of Back Pack whilst Mario is sneaking in his new Cell Shaded look? It's just me putting two rumours together but could Shigsy switch the two games?
DISASTER!
No no no no no, and erm no. This is wrong leave Zelda (Cel-Da) alone and i'm being serious. Mario Sunshine doesn't matter graphically as i found it quite poor although it's still early in development. Zelda meanwhile was brilliant, admittedly i found the cut scenes a bit odd but the in game graphics were excellent especially for a game early in development.
I saw the old Zelda there with a new style, and a brilliant style it was. Poor Shigsy the man who has never let you down in the past has been bullied by the people he has entertained for many, many years to change the project he has been working on for over a year. Is Zelda going to be bad due to this new look? NO as when the detail etc... has been added you will see what Cel-Da is, the best game that will be on the Gamecube.
Mario Sunshine do what you will but leave Zelda be and let it stay on course for the next best game ever.
Here's to the Future!
Dringo
Zelda big nice graphics takes longer so game = shorter
Zelda cell shaded takes less time game can spend longer in making it not graphics = bigger game...
See?
That's the job for those crappy third parties that thrive on the Playstation.
I expect Nintendo games to be something special!
Especially when it's a big name like Zelda and Mario!
Oh yeah, plasticine? Are you referring to the
> more 'realistic' Zelda look?
They look like Plastacine models!! :-D
I think that if Shiguru Miyamoto realises that although he's enjoying short mini games like Pikmin and Luigi's mansion that Zelda doesn't have to be short.
I also hope he remembers that Zelda is Nintendo's big adventure franchise which pleasantly surprises everytime.
I think that the Zelda consisting of the relatively bright Celda (too open the story. This Cell shaded world will have lots of characters and will be the light hearted side of the game).
And you can also go to the darker age (travelling in time like Oracle of ages) where the plastacine look kicks in and the emphasis is based on a dark dangerous world, ruined my Gannon.
> i do not doubt that he will revert back to his old look after this game.
DO you mean Mario? Because I don't really give a toss about teh plumber; Zelda is what I'm concerned about.
