This thread has been linked to the game 'The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker'.
Some new info on Cube Europe, basically:
+ The game is said to be 2 - 3 times *larger* than OOT.
+ Link will grow up as the game progresses
+ The starting town acts as an introduction where you wear normal clothes and have to round up cows on your horse within a time limit.
And some new screenshots. [URL]http://www.cube-europe.com/news.php?nid=7650[/URL].
Nintendo, a release date of tomorrow please.

I borrowed majora a week ago, and I've been playing it loads. The new zelda needs more masks like the Deku, Goron and Zora, because they were cool.
No time limit though, that sucks.

I didn't really like the character-changing masks.
Dunno why, but there you go.
Windfall was not lifeless, Strafio. It was excellent.
Of course, it doesn't come close to Clock Town, because that was basically the whole game - and the time aspect added so much more to it.
But as far as normal towns go, Windfall is good example of how to do things.

I think the problem with Zelda games is that people rate OOT as the first Zelda in the series. It was such a defining point that most people feel the need to compare every other single game from the "Adventure RPG-ish" genre to it. This also applies to Metal Gear Solid, for example. Most people don't even realise that there were MG games on the NES/SNES etc...
Back to the topic, though...
Clock Town was fantastic. The music was great, the builder's danced around like gay's (:D), cuckoo's(!)- it felt like a town, and not a general collection of people... the same can't be said for Windfall.
In all seriousness, though, I have VERY high hopes for the new Zelda. I was one of the few that wasn't against WW... but I still felt let-down by it in the end. Don't get me wrong, it deserves its place as a Zelda game, but it wasn't... it wasn't the Zelda that we know and love, and have done for the last two decades or so. It was more like the "Story of Zelda" as opposed to the legend. But this one, though, I honestly can't wait. There's three games I really, REALLY want atm- Zelda, Fire Emblem and Advance Wars.... DS. The same can't be said about the GameCube version... that looks utter pants, to be honest.
IS should have been developing it, not some third-rate UK developer (Kaji? Koji? meh).

I might remember wrong, but didn't you play Majora after Windwaker?
Well I was ready for something to atleast come close to touching Majora so perhaps I was a little more disappointed with Windfall than it deserved.
I still don't get why Tilt talked about Windfall when raving about THE Zelda down though...
Still, the point is that the new Zelda promises improvements in the AI and Interactivity department. Let's see if Nintendo pull this one off! ;-)
(and everything that Chipseh just said too! ;-))

No no no... I had the Gold MM cart on the N64... :) (coincidentally, wasn't that the only version?). Aah, memories. I'm glad I have it on my Collector's Edition Zelda Disc also, I don't have to rake my N64 out :) (And since the Revolution is GC compatible... w00t!)
I'm intrigued as to what direction the Zelda series is going to take from this point onwards... I just saw the Madden trailer for the next gen consoles... :O
Now, imagine Zelda...

I was talking to FFF, and somewhere between writing it, your post popped out of nowhere. Otherwise I could've just nodded my head and been done with it! ;-)
I'm like a Ninja.
So far I found MM to be a pretty confusing muddle that's deterred me form playing it much.
But last time I played I decided to just work out this notebook thingy, and then I started to like it a lot more. I've got it all sussed now, so after exams I will complete it in the holidays.

I've stupidly never got around to playing Majoras Mask, I will do one of these days though.
Some confirmed stuff from EGM magazine on Cubed3.co.uk now [URL]http://www.cubed3.com/viewnews.php?storyid=3743[/URL].
Minor Spoilers, just confirming Zelda & Ganon are in it, there's some big aspect like the sailing in WW we've yet to see, and that you can fish and glide on chickens.
Oh, and that the cool A-button command when you fight is back and enhanced. Forgotten it's name now.
