Time to rape my bandwidth some more.

NEW. TRAILER. (Quicktime 30.0mb. Gah.)

Uhm... well, I'm very impressed by the large variety of monsters, and it looks freakin' dark (those ghostly zombie/Redeads = WTF!? This IS still Zelda and not Resident Evil 5?). The environments look gorgeous too. (What's with the wolf thing? A little overly cliché aren't we? ) I'm still kind of iffy on Link's animation... I dunno, feels kind of weird. Maybe it's just I don't feel like I know him.

Buuut, looks like will be hellova fun game to play, at the very least. Even if it doesn't ... feel completely like Zelda ... ?

Edit: Did he just pick up a cat? o.O Kitty?? o.O And did that cat just make a sound like the ones in Chrono Trigger that sound more like a chime than a mew? O.o

Edit edit: Hey Link, it might not be a very good idea to go swimming in that clear clear water when you're wearing chainmail and a big honkin' shield...

I can't believe I'm missing E3 coverage this year- I've just booked my flight!- I think I'll have to set up a mailing list so I can be kept up to date, seeing as I have no idea what the internet access will be like in Thailand.
and that the ghosts were once Hylian soldiers
I thought they were Hylian too, and they reminded me way too much of the ghosts in the mountain in Lord of the Rings. What do the message boards make of the word being that the game is set after Wind Waker? Seeing that living statue, I slightly more convinced that it is, but still...

Well, rest assured that I'll be right up-to-date with any and all media within an hour of their release, right here. ;)

See, that part really confuses me. I'll buy that it takes place after Wind Waker, fine, but then why does this Link swim/sound/look/have a horse just like OoT Link? And why does this Hyrule seem to share so many similaries with OoT Hyrule? Only thing I can come up with is that the Hero of Time pulled some massive time-travel trick, which is iffy but I'd be willing to accept.

(*I* wanted it to be a sequel to Majora's Mask, hrmph.)

If it's a brand-new Link, I'll be okay with that too (though slightly disappointed). But I don't want it to be Wind Waker Link. I can't see WW Link growing up to do the chainmail/earrings thing at all, and plus, I definitely want any direct WW sequel to continue with the cel-shaded-ness.

WW Link seems a little bit... dorky, doesn't he?
See, when I saw the first trailer I was convinced it was OoT Link too. I'm hoping it'll be an OoT sequel (which would *technically* be a Majora's Mask sequel too!) because OoT remains to me the best gaming experience I've ever had. Unless Nintendo goes all Capcom-verse on us, which I doubt, I'll be happy with whatever Link they give us. If only they'd show us some other characters, perhaps we'd get more of a clue *is still dying to see how Zelda will look in the new style*

Yes he does but all the more endearing for it ;)

Anyways. OoT is my favorite game by far too. I want a sequel to Majora's Mask in plotline only. Hated playing that game, I did. ^^;;

If only they'd show us some other characters

Well, there's a Goron... but uh. That's probably like, the race revealing the LEAST amount of information that they could've shown us. Sneaky bastards. XP

*is still dying to see how Zelda will look in the new style*

Join the line, sista! The moment I see her will be the moment I bust out a whole new can of whoop-ass.

Oh wait, that's not right. Whole new can of fanart.

One word: reincarnation.

Yeah well, WW Link was reincarnated too and look how he turned out...

Forgot to say: I'll be fine with it being a brand-new Link, but they better have a good explanation for the resemblance. I mean, they haven't even bothered changing voice actors...
