Did I mention it looks stunning, you can ride a horse and a giant boar, you can fight while riding, you can turn into a wolf, it looks scary, big enemies and a weird sinister looking gremlin thing? And hot Zelda.


Feel free to continue.

Yeah but I mean, say you wake up in a room and you don't know where you are or how you got there.

And in front of you is a comfy chair and loads of tasty food and drinks, and a massive TV, and as you pick up the controller a game starts (auto skips the title screen etc) and you think "hmm, looks like Link".


And so you eat tasty snacks and quickly realise it's a brand new Zelda game you'd never even heard of, and you're like "OMGWTF!11!!1 new zelda!11!1" and you play it all week and you hav eno idea what kind of stuff is in the game and it's really awesome and...

Well, point made.

too late. Anyway, you find that out in the first half an hour or whatever, so it's no real biggie. Plus the fact that it'll be on the back of the box...

Still, it would be awesome to play the game without knowing you're going to turn into a wolf.

Nah the anticipation is half the fun. This way I get to enjoy Zelda from now until it's release, and then I'll enjoy it just as much as everyone who doesn't know anything about it. It's win win. I'm not bothered about spoilers - they never reveal anything that major anyway.

wait till you play it? the less u know about the game, the better it will be =)

Just downloaded all the E3 videos so far for TP. Around 230 Mbytes worth. Now to start watching them all...

Apparently Link is a shepherd, not a cowboy. It's just that the Japansies arent familiar with the word.

"Link whistles a familiar song and his trusty old horse, Epona, comes crashing from the barn. When she approaches, Link can mount her from the side or the back and there are different animations for each."

Curse my depraved imagination.

Is this now confirmed? Been interested as to where this all fits in for a while now. Just seems *so* OOT like. Even the damn horse is called Epona.
