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.

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'm like a Ninja.
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! ;-)
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 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! ;-))

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 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 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.

Really?
I found their lifelessness to be the most disappointing feature in the game... I mean, maybe it was a slight step forward from one of OOT's villages, but atleast 10 steps back from Majora's Clock Town.
Now that REALLY brought people to life.
Everyone had a life and a purpose and...

Now I'm thinking that you just called "Clock Town" "Windfall", because there is NO WAY that this applies to Windfall, let alone compared to Clock Town (a villiage in another Zelda game...)
Tell me I'm right Tilt, tell me I'm right... :-)
