When I walked out of Game with Excite Truck I passed by a new racing game on the 360 being demoed... Jee. Sus. Amazing visuals. Jaw dropping.

Pretty fun game. Not groundbreaking or spectacular but as That Guy says, decent fun. Still can't figure out how to do air spins though??

I would buy a black one, just worried about transfering everything over.

And the award for the most stupid and pointless topic on n-euope goes to...

Why do people persist in buying new release games online? You're just setting yourselves up to be disappointed when it doesn't arrive on the release date.

Great show.

LOZ: Good fun. AOL: Better fun. But very very very very hard. ALTTP: Masterpiece.

That's weird, any idea why?

Yeah I hear multiplayer is more fun than single player. Will try both!

WOOHOO!!! I'VE GOT A NEW ZELDA TO PLAY!!!! Sorry, just a tad excited.

Ok quick thing... I've always considered myself part of the Zelda elite, those who've played every game, know the ins and outs etc as I'm sure a lot of you on here are... For some reason I always thought Four Swords Adventures was a 4 player Zelda game, as in, ONLY four players could play (similar to Four Swords on the GBA). I've only just discovered a single player could complete the game on his own. How stupid do I feel??? It's like finding buried treasure though, I've got a new Zelda game to play woohoo!!! Gonna buy it tomorrow. Question though, I am correct right? FSA can be 1 player as well?

TP definately fits there. And yes, WW happens after 'evil was locked away', ie. the end of OOT.

As in the timeline where Link hasn't actually met Ganondorf yet because he warned the King about him before he could do any damage? Interesting... So far this is what we're sure about, correct? Anyone care to speculate on LOZ, AOL, ALTTP, LA, FS, FSA and the Oracle games? After Ocarina of Time, Zelda sends Link back to the past which begins the 'Child Timeline'. Link warns the King about what Ganondorf is planning and he's sent to be executed (the scene in TP, with all the sages). Ganondorf gets the Triforce of Power but is banised to the Twilight Realm for many years. Meanwhile MM happens with child Link. After that the events of TP occur (but with a different Link). This would explain as DCK says, why Ganon doesn't recognise either the master sword or Link... because he hasn't run into him yet. Technically, considering 'child timeline' Ganon died at the end of TP... TP should be the last Zelda game in the child timeline. Not sure how that effects LOZ/AOL/ALTTP etc... though. In the Adult Timeline (the one after Zelda sends Link to the past... ie... no Hero of Time in Adult timeline)... many many years pass and Ganondorf escapes from the void he was banished to at the end of OOT. Attacks Hyrule, no Link to stop if so the gods drown the world. Wind Waker happens. Then Phantom Hourglass.

To change the subject quickly... One thing that annoys me with the final battle is that a) Ganondorf doesn't seem to know or care who Link is and b) acts like he's never seen the Master sword. Which pretty much screws continuity/the timeline (if you care about it) End music is quite nice though.

Jasper, Nintendo have the guts to do something hugely different though. Look at Wind Waker's styling, the name 'Wii', the very concept behind the console. But I see your point that they wouldn't want to mess with their most successful franchise too much... we can only hope. Any thoughts on when they can announce something? Or show us a teaser trailer? The very first TP trailer must be a couple of years old by now at least.

"The last Zelda of it's kind"... you really think that means adding wiimote functionality? And even if it does, what can they do exactly? Swinging the remote to swing a sword? Pointing to the screen to shoot arrows? ... oh wait, they've already done that. No my friend 'the last Zelda of it's kind' means a BIG change. Not just adding more wii remote functionality. I hope to god they don't screw it up, but like Fierce, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now.

I never said the wiimote would make them do that. They said this will be the last Zelda as we know it. For me that rings alarm bells.

Late 2008 hopefully. Early 2009 probably. Why would change be a bad thing? I too want something a little different, sorta like what Majora's Mask was, or the visual style of Wind Waker... but not something shockingly different like 1st person perspective or playing as someone other than Link.

Very true Jasper but I suppose the fact that supposedly the new Zelda's been in production for over a year already helps. I'm terrified however that Nintendo will mess around with the next Zelda and completely turn the concept upside down like they hinted at. If it's not broke, don't fix it.

Piss easy final boss.

I really want the new Zelda game on the Wii now. Hopefully the waiting time will be similar to that between OOT and MM, rather than WW and TP.

Erm, slash them with your sword twice? What's so hard about that?

Um, no. Rushing through Zelda with a walkthrough would take about 30 hours, if that. He was being sarcastic.

Just commenting.

Ok two points... 1. Are we convinced that Link was riding AWAY from Ordon village in the end credits. I'm sure he was but my question is, why do we think? To search for new adventures? To explore? Because he's grown as a person and life in Ordon isn't enough anymore? Speculation here obviously. 2. If you take a look at LOZ 1 and AOL (Zelda II), they were very much set in a 'darker' version of Hyrule: grim, evil infested. All of the people were very serious, and it definately had a mature feel about it. The Cuckoo flight guys or the postman from TP for example would never have fit into that Hyrule. There've been theories that both games take place at the end of the current Zelda timeling where the land has been decimated by Ganon's continuous attacks. Anyway, I was just wondering how people would feel with the next Zelda being a return to that sort of land. You can call MM dark by OOT and WW standards but I'm talking seriously dark. Any thoughts?
