Just downloaded the Spaceworld showing of the new Cel-Shaded Zelda for the Gamecube. And you know what...I can't wait.

Now don't get me wrong, this isn't the first time I had seen what this game looked like. I had seen screenshots and they didn't really do that much for me. But when I say this game in action my anticipation went up for this game %100!

It angered me to see so many people on these forums and elsewhere say how they hated the new look Zelda with it's childish visuals. It's called Cel-Shading dudes and it rocks. You say you want gameplay over graphics yet you complain about the 'look' of the new Zelda? Shame on you.

So the video starts off with Mr.Videogamegenius just announcing his new title and offering the crowd to have a look at the video. I can't describe the look on the guys face, he looks happy yet afraid people might not like it. he know's it was gonna be a suprise but how can people not like it? He made it man!

The actual game footage then starts and we are greated by these pig like creatures that need to go back to the farm. They are big, brown, hog-like and stupid. I mean, they fall into the water due to all of Links "YAAA! HIGYA!" stuff. During the video you seem link beat them all up a bit and you just want to take the control and do it yourself.

It looks as though the game plays alot like the 64 versions with the same kind of battle system but there was one feature I loved about this video though it was very short. If you've got the video or if you haven't (go download it) look at the bit where Link is creeping along. Now he may look like a Solid Snake wannabe but look at that little guy move! When i first get this game I'm going keep creeping and creeping.

When the video ends Mr.Guywholookslikemyuncle gets a round of appaulse though their are diffrent feelings in them. And you know what else, the guy just laughs because he knows it's gonna rock and he knows he has posters of himself in his room therefore he knows that he is godlike (to some people).

If you moan about this game then you are stupid. The other thing we have to remember is that Link's world is a 'fantasy' world not a 'real' world. If this was made too realistic where would the fun be? Real isn't fun, real is about going to work and being bored and watching Zelda videos etc.

Looks aren't everything :-)

Yes, even though some think he looks childish he does actually look alot meaner then before. He looks like a troublsome child after ice-cream or trying to get what he wants. Should be fun...

The screenshots, as said, don't do justice for the game. You have to see the game in full moving action to love it. The atmosphere in the skys, thw weather effects, the flowing smoothness of the game means I can't wait for it.

And I just heard it is delayed until Febuary 2003.

*sigh*

All for the best though I suppose :-)

Cell-shading can be very misstaken, i love it in all it's beautie, but on a screen shot it can look somewhat 2D. Look at screens of auto modellistica or fur fighters, they look terrible, but when flowing fluidly in game or on a video they look amazing. I am glad that someone else thinks that the new zelda looks class, anyway everyone who moans about it would probably just buy it anyway because it says zelda on the box or case in these GC days.

Have you seen the new look link, he looks alot meaner now then he did a Spaceworld. Personally I'm not bothered what it looks like as long as it doesn't rewrite the story again e.g. OoT.

That's the thing most people have slated the game from just looking at the screenshots, they really don't do it justice. Once I saw a video clip of it I new it was gonna rule.
