Retro_Link Posted January 29, 2011 Author Posted January 29, 2011 Awesome mock-up: Yeah, t'is Awesome! The stylus should have SO been the Master Sword.
Grazza Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 This alone will be worth buying the machine for! I love how it is so much like the original.
Ronnie Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 'kin hell I can't wait. They have to make Majora's Mask after this, surely...?! Love Link's new jumping animation and the framerate looks great. (Zelda geek mode) Can't be arsed to check, but I swear they've shortened that initial burst of light out of the treasure chest? I remember it being much bigger and stronger. Can't believe I noticed that.
Burny Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Has this been posted? How did they manage to record the sound without any background noises? It seems suspiciously clear. If that's the sound output of the 3DSs speakers, I'm positive that games will sound a whole lot better than on the DS. Also: Link has the slingshot from the start and later finds it again? I suppose it's a "cheat" for the demo. It's been years since I touched OoT.

You can see that some kind of recording device is plugged into the headphone socket.
killer kirby Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 'kin hell I can't wait. They have to make Majora's Mask after this, surely...?! Or perhaps they should...you know...make a brand new Zelda 3DS game built from the ground up.
Grazza Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 'kin hell I can't wait. They have to make Majora's Mask after this, surely...?! That's actually a very difficult dilemma, I think. I'm sure we'd all like to play it, but now is the time for Nintendo to crack on with the proper "Zelda 3DS". Maybe the best solution is to get a sub-team doing Majora's Mask.

But what do they do with Zelda 3DS?..The 3D Zeldas are a home console thing but they can't possibly go back to 2D after Ocarina of Time.

They could choose to continue the toon-shaded series on the 3DS, or come up with a new graphical style (I'd love to see the original Wind Waker style on 3DS). Mind you the Wii is getting a more artistic looking Zelda, so really they could go anywhere with Zelda 3DS.
Jamba Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I think that Zelda needs to have a bit of a cool off. It needs to be something different soon be it on a console or a handheld. I'm quite tired of the current feel and I'm pretty disappointed with where they have gone with SS. Maybe the handheld could be the place for something new. On a side note, who would love to control the Goron, Deku or Zora with tilt controls? I would!

On a side note, who would love to control the Goron, Deku or Zora with tilt controls? I would! Yeah Zelda has become pretty boring, hopefully SS has had more of a shake up than has been shown. It's about time the console Link faced off against some different evils... Wind Waker was OK, but the final Twilight Princess fight just felt all too familiar. Getting bored of Ganondorf now.
Grazza Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 But what do they do with Zelda 3DS?..The 3D Zeldas are a home console thing but they can't possibly go back to 2D after Ocarina of Time. That's another dilemma, although there's no doubt in my mind I would like to see full 3D Zeldas on handhelds now. As much as I liked Spirit Tracks (and, to some extent, Phantom Hourglass), the 3DS has an analogue slider, so there's no need for the touchscreen solution any more. It also has superb, GameCube-like graphical capability, so there's the possibility of cel-shading, which I'd love to see again. Basically, I think this would be a good template: Console Zeldas Adult Link Cel-shaded or otherwise Handheld Zeldas Toon Link (Young Link) Cel-shaded The DS Zelda's are becoming increasingly 3D anyway. They could choose to continue the toon-shaded series on the 3DS, or come up with a new graphical style (I'd love to see the original Wind Waker style on 3DS). Mind you the Wii is getting a more artistic looking Zelda, so really they could go anywhere with Zelda 3DS. Ah, I typed the above before I read this properly! But yes, I'd love to see cel-shading as extreme as Wind Waker's again, where you can literally see the layers of shading wash over the picture. Skyward Sword looks good, but doesn't have pronounced cel-shading (if at all), and I think I'm right in saying PH/ST didn't have it either (although obviously that's what they were going for, just held back by the DS).
Fused King Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) Isn't it so that Skyward Sword basically uses the same graphical output as the Mario Galaxy series? Edited February 1, 2011 by Fused King
Burny Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 On a side note, who would love to control the Goron, Deku or Zora with tilt controls? I would! I most certainly wouldn't. It'd screw with the 3D screen, when you chose to use it.
Retro_Link Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 I don't want to go into Skyward Swords knowing exactly what I'm going to find... Forest/Fire/Water/Desert, Generic Castle Town, a Ranch, a Lake... serious shake up needed now! Majora's Mask and Wind Waker both found ways to do this... Skyward Sword needs to do the same, and hopefully the Sky aspect will be able to deliver this somehow.

For me it's curiosity, tricks, puzzles and the danger of combat. MM did that very well I thought and I got that feeling every time I hit a new isle in WW. Without the feeling of the unknown or a sense of danger it all feels a bit limp.
Grazza Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Absolutely gorgeous. Vibrant, colourful - this is how you do a game with Adult Link in it.
Oxigen_Waste Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Absolutely gorgeous. Vibrant, colourful - this is how you do a game with Adult Link in it. You remake OoT?
Grazza Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 You remake OoT? Or at least use it as model. Why not?
Burny Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Absolutely gorgeous. Vibrant, colourful - this is how you do a game with Adult Link in it. You're very right! What became of: "Ocarina of time has such a subdued color palette" though? Also: Nintendo are bastards! Those images have almost the resolution the NGP will produce. :p
Cube Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Looks great. For some reason, Sheik looks a lot more feminine than both the original OoT version and the Brawl version.
