Goron_3 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 ^ Online Horse Races around Lon Lon Ranch/Hyrule Field FTW! :p I LOVED the horse race game in 4-swords!
LostOverThere Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Combined with Iwata's hints about new content in Ocarina of Time 3DS, I wouldn't be surprised if the thing to celebrate Zelda's 25th anniversary and to "allow all Zelda lovers to celebrate together" was an online mode in OOT. As Ronnie suggested, perhaps a "Force Gems" sort of game. This is never going to happen but still remains the greatest idea ever. : peace:
Burny Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Remember the GDC trailer? Someone reversed the sound. Familiar? Either they were very lazy with composing, or they had quiet a laugh while at it.
The Peeps Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 I wonder if it actually indicates time travel will be in play again? Very cool anyway.
Dyson Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 That's some serious Nintendo magic right there! Here's where I found it: http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=157292
The-chosen-one Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 i think it has something to do with the Skyward sword, something with time, definitely some magic in there, all zeldas had something magic in it, like majoras mask traveling back in time, the Ocarina of time fluit in the first one, i wish they bring the Ocarina fluit back in zelda games, that made zelda beautifull,
Grazza Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 That's a great secret, but I must admit, I don't associate Zelda's Lullaby with time. It was first used in Link to the Past, wasn't it?
Tales Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 What does Lullaby do again? I thought it was change day and night which isn't exactly time travel in my opinion.
Retro_Link Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 What does Lullaby do again? I thought it was change day and night which isn't exactly time travel in my opinion.Doesn't it serve to let others know you've got royal connections, and open hidden areas etc...?
Captain Falcon Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 That's a great secret, but I must admit, I don't associate Zelda's Lullaby with time. It was first used in Link to the Past, wasn't it? Yes it was and has consequently been Zelda's (the character) theme ever since. What does Lullaby do again? I thought it was change day and night which isn't exactly time travel in my opinion. Doesn't it serve to let others know you've got royal connections, and open hidden areas etc...? Yep, that's what it does in OoT, but it's not been used since in a way dictated by the player - it's only for moments when Zelda is onscreen.
Shorty Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Still wrong Sun's Song changed day into night, Song of Time made time blocks appear and disappear in OoT and allowed you to reset the three days in MM.
Mokong Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) Remember the GDC trailer? Someone reversed the sound. Familiar? Either they were very lazy with composing, or they had quiet a laugh while at it. Wow, that is pretty awesome, I'd say it was prolly done as an in-joke and/or easter egg. Does make you wonder though why they did if it does have some deeper meaning within the game itself. EDIT: I had to be certain it was real so reversed the sound myself.... it is real Edited May 9, 2011 by Mokong
Shorty Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 I have to admit though... I wondered why the music on the trailer was so... average probably what lead someone to reverse it in the first place.
Ronnie Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 I have to admit though... I wondered why the music on the trailer was so... average probably what lead someone to reverse it in the first place. Yeah, to be honest though I'd rather have better trailer music and no reversal (cool for 5 seconds as it is)
Agent Gibbs Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Yeah, to be honest though I'd rather have better trailer music and no reversal (cool for 5 seconds as it is) I expect at E3 you'll get your wish I just hope they don't say its going to be a timed release with Cafe....
Hero-of-Time Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Zelda: Skyward Sword composer is revealed. Somehow I doubt most of you have heard of Mahito Yokota, but he was one of Koji Kondo's fellow composers for the Super Mario Galaxy series. In an Iwata Asks interview, Iwata sat down with both Kondo and Yokota to talk about the process of remastering the Ocarina of Time 3D soundtrack. Until we get an official translation it's not exactly clear how far this process went - I did see the words for "orchestrated" thrown around, but even MIDIs are technically "orchestrated" so that may not mean much. They also talk about adapting the soundtrack for the 3DS's "surround sound" speakers, so it's possible their work only goes as far as making things sound better on the 3DS hardware. Either way, I'm actually pretty stoked that the guy from Galaxy is working on Ocarina of Time 3D's sound. Oh, and did I mention that he's also hard at work on the soundtrack for Skyward Sword as well? If he does anywhere near as good a job with Zelda as he has with Galaxy, we could be in for a truly excellent soundtrack later this year. We'll be back to clear up how Ocarina of Time's soundtrack is getting fixed up when we get an official English transcript of the interview, most likely in the next couple of days.
Ronnie Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Sounds good but I'd hoped Koji Kondo would also be working on you know.. one of Nintendo's flagship franchises
tapedeck Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 He loves Kondo so much he remixes his music - backwards. The guys a genius. Clearly.
Ronnie Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Not strictly SS related, but these clips are a good laugh, particularly the latest one. Apologies if they've already been posted:
flameboy Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Only One Man Can Explain the Zelda Timeline And that man is not series creator Shigeru Miyamoto. Nor is it current overseer Eiji Aonuma. It is Doctor Emmett Lathrop Brown. As a public service announcement, give the video a minute (literally) to warm up and get where it's going. You'll know when it's got there, and then you'll know why he's the only man who can make sense of it all. Also, a round of applause for Link's Marty McFly voice. That's a hard one to do well! http://uk.kotaku.com/5806152/only-one-man-can-explain-the-zelda-timeline
darkjak Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 For one, I think that Nintendo have made a huge mistake. This game should have been launched two years ago. Now it's at the very end of the Wiis lifespan, and while Twilight Princess made OK use of the Wii, this game is just not good looking enough to be launched for the Café. This could either be a nice farewell to the Wii, or it could be yet another Zelda that's not good enough to bear the Zelda name. It'll be completely decided by both Skyward Swords and Cafés respective release dates. The controls seem amazing and I am very much looking forward to SS. However, I do hope that Nintendo want to make a longer and more difficult game than Twilight Princess. Also, last year the graphics weren't much more than OK. It's a Zelda game: it's supposed to be the best game on the format in all respects.
