Obi Kwan Posted August 23, 2001 Share Posted August 23, 2001 Just wanted to know if anyone else is hyped up for this weekend's space world; hopefully it brings word of a new Zelda game to hit the gamecube next year! Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChrisC3po Posted August 23, 2001 Share Posted August 23, 2001 I'm quite excited about Spaceworld! I've been a diehard fan of Nintendo since the NES days. Although I'm still recovering from the shock of seeing the next Zelda game (<a href="http://cube.ign.com/news/37665.html">here</a>). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Simpson Posted August 23, 2001 Share Posted August 23, 2001 Yeah, that new Zelda game does not look promising. Soul Calibur 2 and Rogue Leader should make up for it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyOneCanoli Posted August 23, 2001 Share Posted August 23, 2001 Thank you, Nintendo, for ruining the greatest console series of all time: The Legend of Zelda. Also, thank you for convincing to completely give up on consoles. The others are far too expensive, and you just ruined the main reason for me getting a Nintendo console. At least I'll have some extra cash this holiday season for important things. Idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obi Kwan Posted August 24, 2001 Author Share Posted August 24, 2001 Do you really think all hope is lost? I see this game as more of a side project to the zelda series, and you have to admitt there have been a few crappy zelda incarnations in the past (i mean look at that awful cartoon or the the new gameboy games where link runs around in a kangaroo...) I think by showing us a fully rendered Link in Smash Brothers Melee and in the teaser at the 2000 space world with ganondorf that Nintendo intends to continue a more realistic zelda in the future.

OK, first, a cartoon is not a video game. And second, those gameboy games are excellent from what I hear. About as good as gameboy can get. I haven't played Seasons/Ages yet, but I hear that they are excellent. Truly I wouldn't mind a top-down version of Zelda on GameCube, compared to this trash.

Obi Kwan Posted August 24, 2001 Author Share Posted August 24, 2001 When I was reffering to the cartoon and the recent gameboy games, I was just trying to point out that the Legend of Zelda franchise has not been free from imperfections. IMO it is a serious series, but there have been times when it was humorous and sometimes pretty cheesy. All of the games have parts to them that break the epic quality and seriousness of the storyline. Off the top of my head, I'm thinking of Bunny face Link had when he was in the Dark World of A Link to the Past, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Drunken Ewok Posted August 24, 2001 Share Posted August 24, 2001 has the cube's price been raised?...if so looks like i wont be getting it which sucks because in my opinion it was going to be the best console out(screw xbox and ps2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Simpson Posted August 24, 2001 Share Posted August 24, 2001 I was really disappointed to see the Zelda series go this way. I've always been a fan, and I've enjoyed all of them. I'm not sure if I'll get a Cube now, after having thought about it for a while. Obi Kwan, it's true what you say, but those instances have been small parts of an otherwise serious game. This game does not look serious at all. It is a cartoon gone wrong. Bah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyOneCanoli Posted August 24, 2001 Share Posted August 24, 2001 Hey at least I'll be saving a ton of money this holidays. Now I can get Civ III, Battlegrounds, Red Faction, Empire Earth, and maybe something else without worrying about not having money for family/friend gifts.

Guest ChrisC3po Posted August 24, 2001 Share Posted August 24, 2001 Although I was quite surprised about the new look for Zelda, I'm starting to like it. Shiggy almost never puts out a bad game, if he thinks it's promising I'll believe him. I've got to aggree with him that a bit of inovation is needed for all of console gaming, better graphics and more polygons seems to be all that video game makers are concerning themselves with.

bsbuckeye21 Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 ... ... ... ... and now: =| I dunno... I would probably be more accepting if this wasn't a Zelda game. It's just too geared to Japanese kids, as it seems. The visual style is growing on me a bit, but it's still not Zelda. When I was thinking of Zelda for the Cube, I was thinking an adult Link exploring, dark, smokey stone castles, and wandering through a foggy dark forrest with any wild bird swooping down at you and Link navigating his way around. (We got basically no spooky castles or dark forrests for the N64 games, and not really a courageous adult link saving princess Zelda. The proceeding is just what the pinnacle of a Zelda game could be for me, all realized with the Cube's power.) And also, Zelda: Link's Awakening is probably about my favorite Zelda game; right up there with A Link to the Past. Just sooo many great hours of gameplay and variance.

acdcfanbill Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 i dunno, the more i look at the pic, the weirder it looks, it almost looks like a powderpuff person, with pointy ears and a stocking cap... i also would love an older link game...

Darth Simpson Posted August 26, 2001 Share Posted August 26, 2001 I agree bucky, Link's Awakening is great. I've worn out one Gameboy with that game. Seriously. A Link To The Past is great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyOneCanoli Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 I'd go crazy if they made a top down original Zelda game for Game Boy Advance. I'd buy one just for that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt-- Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 I'd like to see a collection of most of the past Zelda games.(Most because the 2 N64 games still have considerable value). The NES, the SNES, and the gameboy games. I'd buy it. And it's obviously capable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
