Legend of Zelda - The official Zelda thread

[Protoman Blues]

I'm a Zelda loving whore.

Day 1 purchase. I'm hoping they have a special event for it at Nintendo World, with t-shirts and posters and other Zelda-y things. Perhaps a Zelda cosplayer I can sleep with!

These are awesome! 

[Phi]

Awesome indeed. I especially like the last one, sounds like it was ripped straight from KH.

I see he also orchestrated one of my all-time favorite Zelda melodies:

Just in case anyone is curious about the Symphony of the Goddesses tour!

[Mirby]

I can't make it to the show again.

Gah I hate having to pay bills right when I need the money for something like this.

[Mirby]

Took a look at the Wind Waker HD trailer.

Click for a larger version.

Check the D-Pad icon on the upper-left side. Wind Waker, Cannon, and Salvage Arm all mapped to it. Note that though the Grappling Hook is mapped to Y, the bombs aren't currently equipped. Which means no need to equip those whenever you need the cannon this time around. Odds are the same will apply to the Salvage Arm as well.

Also note that A makes you go faster, a much needed function for traveling the seas.

By the way, that's Spectacle Island (B-3), home of the Barrel Shoot minigame and possible Ghost Ship destination, with the Mother & Child Isles (B-2) in the distance.

[Kieran]

Aonuma talked about altering the Triforce hunt, but didn't specify in what way.  I hope they've done something to make it more palatable.

[Amatiramisu]

I didn't mind the triforce hunt myself. But then again I just love all of Wind Waker so much that I never found it a hassle in any way. It gave me an excuse to go sailing and wrap up any sidequests or minigames I had laying around.

[Kieran]

It's not bad when you spread it out over the course of the game, but it does get tedious if you leave it all for the end of the game.

[irgpie]

the warp song also helped make it much more tolerable than something like Metroid Prime's fetchquest IMO. I still haven't finished the latter because I was so put off by that bullshit

[Kieran]

Prime's fetch quest was annoyingly vague.  I suppose it doesn't seem as bad years later when you've memorized half of the artifacts, but yeah.

[Mirby]

it's dangerous to go alone take this

[Amatiramisu]

I love how whenever I enter this thread first thing I see is "I'm a zelda-loving whore."

[Waifu]

Ocarina of Time help:

Can anyoe help me with the Shooting gallery? I am having trouble with it as kid Link.

Don't your shots usually always head towards the middle of the screen? Put a bit of post-it or something in the center as a makeshift crosshair and make sure to compensate for gravity.

If I'm wrong with this advice don't shoot me I'm a little rusty in terms of OoT.

[Police Girl]

Looks like just the gamepad is different.

And a list of major differences/changes/additions:

- Triforce quest – the five Triforce pieces can now be grabbed directly
- Only the remaining three require translated charts instead of eight
- Hero Mode available from the start
- Picto Box has been upgraded
- Upgraded camera could still be used to snap photos of unsuspecting villagers or enemies
- Pictures can go up on Miiverse
- Link can also take funny self-photographs
- Switch between happy, sad, and surprised emotions
- Get the Swift Sail at the auction house after completion of the first dungeon
- No alert via an in-game prompt to signal the special sails availability
- No longer possible to accidentally skip Tingle's island, as the developers have inserted an introduction to the quirky character into the main quest
- Enhanced first-person camera
- Can now have full movement in that perspective
- Can travel through hallways and shoot arrows like you're in a FPS

[Mirby]

I want that. Just because it's awesome.

Also interested to see how the directly attainable triforce pieces work.

[ViperAcidZX]

I'm guessing that gamepad will probably be in a Wii U+Wind Waker HD bundle.

[Police Girl]

No, its totally going to be in a bundle completely unrelated to Zelda or Wind Waker, That's why they show Wind Waker stuff with the Exclusive gamepad.

[Phi]

I'd prefer it without the "gold" filter, but it does look nice, regardless.

[Protoman Blues]

I love the Triforce/Black Triforce logo.

[Phi]

Same here!

[Police Girl]

I'd prefer it without the "gold" filter, but it does look nice, regardless.

We'll only know if its a gold filter if a Japanese boxart comes up with the image in full color.

And knowing how Japan loves color, that's probably what's going to happen.

EDIT: This is a photoshopped image but it looks kind of what I would expect a color version to be.

[Fxeni]

Yeah, definitely looks better without the gold.

[Kieran]

Also interested to see how the directly attainable triforce pieces work.

Late, but I imagine in most places you'd normally find a Triforce chart, you'll simply find a piece of the Triforce instead.  One of the various preview videos seems to show exactly that (playing the Wind's Requiem at a spot that would normally spawn a chest containing a chart instead had a Triforce shard).
