New Zelda trailer!

Don't think it's been posted yet

I'm so excited for this, getting a much different vibe from this game though. It looks a lot darker, even scary.

I want it now! I heard a rumor that if you pre-order it, in the summer they will give you a disc with a previous Zelda Game (Windwaker perhaps?) with the NEW Zeldas graphics. Can anyone confirm or deny this? It sounds fake, but I'm not sure.
Think while it's still legal.

I've had a reserve on it at gamestop since December.

Trailer = schwing.

I heard that this game uses the WindWaker engine anyway.

I'm fairly certain it's true, it was in the most recent Electronic Gaming Monthly.

I believe it was just one of EGM's notorious April Fool's Jokes at work.

I dunno. I hope the dungeons are as well-crafted as Metroid Prime's. And Link's animation seems a little stiff. I guess it will be a good game anyway.

I'm skeptical/worried, personally. I fear that, in a reaction against so many who apparently cried over how "uncool" Link was in Majora's Mask and Wind Waker, they may have focused more on the image of the game and will forget about gameplay. In all likelyhood, though, they're probably "playing it safe" and just not try anything new with this game. Just make it bad-*** because, heaven-forbid Link can't be a kid, despite artwork from Zelda 1-4...

EDIT: Sorry, teenager. You know, 15. 10 was never my ideal age either, but if it's that or another 20-some-year-old-in-his-prime-cookie-cutter badass...

I don't think so...at all. :p

Morf--that's why you were uppity. You WERE banned during that banning spree. Makes sense now :p

But anyways...what's more intriguing is that Steamboy ad. Looks interesting...

Though, this is the zelda game I've been waiting for since ALttP

It is the same engine, they're just not using cel-shading with it. Cel-shading usually demands something like x2 as much processing or the like, so yeah...

Geez, I swear SOOOO many people fell for that EGM April Fool's joke...(Wind Waker being redone in new graphics)

It's a joke - it has been confirmed by many sites as being nothing more then that

The EGM specifically said "Starting April first" or something like that.

On [url]www.ign.com,[/url] the message boards were flooded almost every day for a week with people like "OMG! PREORDER BONUS!" and then they were slammed down when people told them to realize the date and that it was a joke.

Last year it was something like there was going to be a Lord of the Rings racing game or something, and they had a screenshot too.

It'd be nice if the new Zelda game had SOME bonus for pre-ordering. Mebbe a T-shirt? :)

Looks amazing, but Link's skirt is getting shorter. THAT IS NOT GOOD.

I believe that in Ocarina of Time, Link was 10 and 17. Dunno about the earlier games though.
obviously you've never been able to harness the power of cleavage...

Ocarina of Time = Zelda 5.

As for age, they might say it's 17, but especially in Super Smash Bros: Melee and SoulCalibur 2 (games I'm pretty sure use the OoT older Link), he looks at least 18... really, he just looks like he's stopped growing/is in his prime, as oppose to the other games.

Is it me or did that trailer heavily reminded me of Lords of the Ring? The horseback riding battle is reminiscient of that Gap of Rohan battle, the forest reminds me of Fangorn Forest, Link running around from a huge spider like creature is similar to Frodo running from Shelob, the ghosts reminded me of the army of the dead, and lastly the epic music.

It's likely the similarities are on purpose. It's standard business practice to ride the waves of other works' success. Like how so many fantasy books even to this day have strong similarities to the LotR books...

Well I dunno about that Geb. All the fantasy books I read show no hints of dry, lame, boring story that LotR did.

I wasn't talking so much about story-content as much as I was refering to the conventions of using elves, dwarves, etc. in a psuedo-medieval time and the heavy reliance on representational-style instead of presentational...

I liked the first trailer better.

This is an obsurdly small nitpick, but the z-target sliding looks really weird. It looks like it did in the n64 games. Which isn't bad, but it doesn't fit with the rest of the "new age" graphics .. he's just like, sliding on the ground. He's moving when he isn't taking steps. It's weird.
