The Legend of Zelda Hype thread... Cause it deserves it.

[NeoCracker]

Alright, to add to the hype of the new game...

Paired with the 'We never said it was link' thing, and the fact the person in the trailer was right handed, it may be a good bet it is Zelda this time, or at least not link.

Why is this important? Because Link is left handed, a fact the developers are well aware of, and go so far as to design dungeons around this fact. (Shown be the necessity to mirror the Wii version of Twilight, since most people are right handed.)

Also OH MY GOD IT'S PRETTY!

[Fynn]

You guys, listen!

It's Link's son! I mean, Skyward Sword Link and Zelda's kid! Think about it! The world is so open and clear of people because the Hyrule kingdom hasn't been clearly established yet!

Can you guys post screenshots or trailers for this or something? I haven't seen this yet.

[Rostum]

Damn that looks gorgeous. I really hope it is as open world as his says. The potential of this game is making me so excited.

Here you go madame.

I find it hilarious that everyone on the internet, eoff included is prasing the game for how good it looks.

Not for the reason it looks bad, it does look great. Its more that the Wii u is the least capable of the 3 next gen consoles in terms of processing powers, but still manages to rattle out beautiful looking games like Mario kart, 3d world and this new Zelda to name a few.

This compared to people who were livid that watchdogs didn't reach 1080p and 60fps on ps4/xb1 despite being more powerful systems.

PS - these clothes look familiar. Somewhat twilight princess era.

Legend of Link.

I keep hearing it being called Zelda Wii U. Not Legend of Zelda.


Eeeeeeee

I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure they mirrored it because that would actually take less time than redoing all of the animation for Link.

Link is left-handed?

I'm hoping for Zelda but it's probably link's son yeah.

Dungeons in The Legend of Zelda were designs specifically with his hand use in mind according to the interviews. The Hand link used For the Wii, however, the system was designed with people using the right hand.

It was part of an interview done for the Wii Version of Twilight Princess, but since the NES Link has conciously been designed left handed and it was always taken into account for things for how your sword swings and your shields block area, something that would change were link to switch hands.

If all they did was change links hand use, it would have screwed with the intent of the dungeon design, so the dungeons had to be mirrored as well.

And I'm just going to say this now, but I've seen a few people floating around online comparing this to Elder Scrolls, and really? Like, really guys?

I just don't get you.

I'm less excited about the idea of it being Link's son than it being Link or Zelda.

Hype decreases 20%.

None of us can really say for certain if it would make a difference if only the hand changed since we'll never get to play it that way, but I'm not convinced that they weren't just throwing around a bit of bulltrout when they said that. Largely because Link being left handed hasn't seemed tremendously important since they moved to 3D. It might have been a different story in the 2D games when which side he held the shield on actually did matter.

But I still say that it being easier to just mirror the game probably played a sizable role. Otherwise I doubt they would have bothered at all to be perfectly honest.

I am more excited about this.

It's a shame I won't be able to play this BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD ALL OF THESE CONSOLES

Maybe in 10 years when it becomes super cheap
