For those that don't know, there was supposedly a "leak" for a promotional video indicating Nintendo's going to be making a major Zelda-related announcement.
Here's the leaked video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yx8hL2Csx64
This is the fakest looking thing I've ever seen. No chance is it in any way legit. Thoughts?
>>322234645
If you think it looks fake as fuck why did you post it here you fucking idiot goddamn the anon game be weak these days

Why can't people who stream with face cam at least work a bit on their fucking appearance, goddamn
0% chance it's real
>it's a girl game
zeldameme is finally over
heres to hoping its not shit
>>322237130
Why is concept art always like 100x better than the game every time?
Can't wait for Thumbs Up Dad to become a meme
>>322237263
Games are limited by technology and the staff that work on it. If artist that create concept art could make assets and everything else in the game we would get games that match the art easily if they wanted to.
>>322237263
idk anon. either way it would be neat if we got a zelda game with the art direction Nomura took
I hope they bring back these semen demons
>Girl with a pan
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPE
>>322234645
so if it is real, what can be expected for zelda this year
>>322234645
There was some talk of it a while back.
It's inconsequential if we don't get gameplay footage.
>>322238880
Femenine link. More Toon Link cocksucking.
OMG ZELDA IS A GURRRLLLLLLLL
OMG IIT'S Eh-Poe-Nah LOL I'M SUCH A NERD
>>322239158
toon link ruined the franchise
>>322239158
What are those two last points indicative of?
>>322239295
Not at all; we got an excellent game out of it and we still get differing art styles.
any rule 34 of that loli yet?
>>322239586
I agree with that anon though. Look how many games have used the Toon Link style.
>Wind Waker
>Four Swords
>Four Swords Adventures
>Minish Cap
>Phantom Hourglass
>Spirit Tracks
>Triforce Heroes
I'm sick of Toon Link
Why do girls pretend to like Zelda?

>>322239939
Being sick of him is fine, but he didn't ruin the franchise. We still get games of similar quality.
Also, the cartoon style seems to have been used for technical restraints, at least recently.
>>322239939
Look how many games have used the Normal Link style.
>Legend of Zelda
>Adventure of Link
>Link to the Past
>Ocarina of Time

it kinda looked like that
a bit
sorta
they tried
New Zelda with Linkle
heard it right here folks
>>322241012
Why would I want to do that? It's bad enough Skyward Sword was so irritating, imagine how much worse it would have been if they'd just regurgitated Twilight Princess's art style?
>>322239983
i know some girls who really like zelda, anon
one of them beats wind waker and skyward sword multiple times a year
This is now an all-around Zelda thread.
Lore, art, post it all.
I legitimately hope this isn't real.
To me, it would indicate that the next Zelda is more of the same the same cutesy sugar-coated shit like SS and TFH, and not a proper adventure with a balance of light and dark elements.
A commercial with zero footage and no title.
Only a legit retard would take that video seriously.
>>322239586
WW is not bad but toon link needs to go.
>>322237509
Quick and messy
>>322241787
>WW is not bad
nigga it's the best Zelda game ever made
1. Wind Waker
2. A Link to The Past

6. Link's Awakening
Fight me bros
>>322239586
>Not at all; we got an excellent game out of it and we still get differing art styles.
Wow, one good game out of 7 shitty or mediocre ones.
Really something to aim for. He certainly isn't the face of the series' high points, that's for sure.
>>322241962
1. Wind Waker
2. Twilight Princess
3. Majora's Mask
4. Link Between Worlds
5. Spirit Tracks
6. A Link To The Past
7. Ocarina of Time
The only correct answer
>>322241962
>Best Zelda ever made
5 dungeons. Triforce quest. OoT remains supreme, because every other 3D Zelda game tries to copy it.
>>322242089
I would flip TP and MM. I would also flip ALBW with ALTTP.
No love for Phantom Hourglass?

Shittiest 3D dungeons in the series.
Worst bosses.
Laughable difficulty.
Sailing was a mixed bag.
On the other hand, it had a great art style, nice side quests, lots of exploration, neat story and a "comfy" feel, but it's incredibly flawed throughout.
>>322242046
When does a game that's not a contender for one of the greatest games ever made mean that it's bad?
Besides, it's not like our opinions are completely different. He hasn't ruined the series as a whole, which was my point to begin with.
>little girl asking to be Link
Oh boy, Link is gonna be a girl in Zelda WiiU afterall
but I do like the idea of anyone being able to be "Link" though, the character is already a big avatar type of icon, I just hope they don't make the hero's gender a fucking major focus of the story
>>322242563
Wind Waker marked the downfall of the series though, and Toon Link is generally associated with the worst games of the lot, as well as neo Nintendo's shitty family-friendly, sugar-coated image.
He didn't ruin the series, but he represents its stagnation and mediocrity in many peoples' eyes.
>>322242246
>Triforce Quest
Am I the only one who didn't hate that? I actually really liked it.
It gave you me a really free feeling. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the overworld a lot so it didn't bother me to sail around the ocean like that.
The feeling of sitting on a little boat at night during a light rainstorm, the sound of the wind blowing and the creaking of your boat. Seeing little lights in the distance shining out of the sea. Finding quiet little islands with treasure or unique enemies.
The best part is, it reminded me of Zelda's roots. ''REEEE NON LINEARITY REEEE I HATE GOING AROUND A HUGE MAP TRYING TO FIND PIECES OF A TRIFORCE WITHOUT ANY CLEAR STORY PROGRESSION OR HAND HOLDING''
So... you basically hate The Legend of Zelda on the NES? Because that's basically what it was. Except in Wind Waker there was treasure to be found, interesting characters to meet, and a much greater atmosphere.
>>322242681
>the character is already a big avatar type of icon
Which is why it's stupid. The franchise is seriously outdated and yet Nintendo throws stupid gimmicks like this shit in a desperate attempt to distract people from its real issues.
>>322242681
>I just hope they don't make the hero's gender a fucking major focus of the story
>they don't
>Ruto still has the biggest hard on for you
I'm ok with this.
>>322242974
I gave up on this series after the last two 3D Zeldas being total shit.
>>322242974
>from its real issues.
entertain us, buffon, show us your list.
Out of the ones I've played.
>Majora's Mask
>Twilight Princess
>Wind Waker
>Ocarina of Time
>Oracle of Seasons
>Oracle of Ages
>A Link to the past
>Minish Cap
>>322243026
Zelda U is my last chance. If it's shit like SS then I too am jumping off this sinking ship of an IP.
>>322242681
Even if this was real, they could have just made it a girl to be all "See feminists? girls like our games too!"
I kinda doubt if we ever get a girl Link in a main title, it will happen with Zelda U.
Aonuma was pretty clear on Link being male in the trailer, and I doubt they'd just add a female option instead of saving it for next game.
>>322243157
I think that's the general consensus for a lot of people who love this series. I'm also sick of buying Nintendo consoles for a small couple games and waiting on that one big Zelda game that always fails to impress or justify the long wait.
>>322242974
You're one of those people who thinks Zelda needs to be Skyrim, aren't you?
>>322242906
Is not that bad, but coming from OoT and Majora, is a serious pacing issue. And about the boat exploring, i remember falling asleep while traversing.
WW is not bad, but is really mediocre. That's why people always brings up the artstyle as a saving grace.
>>322242974
>outdated
Wut
>>322243107
Oh shit forgot Link's Awaking just throw it in wherever, don't remember everything about it.
I wonder - I sometimes see people on here who want a Zelda "without the puzzles and dungeons," that those parts of the game bore them.What exactly are they on about? I mean, what part of the game do they enjoy? Would it be the small bites of traveling between dungeons, and the small amount of exploration amongst them? How do you flesh out an entire game like that?
>>322243286
Um, I didn't mean to post that image

Fucking chinks, goddamit
>>322243313
>That's why people always brings up the artstyle as a saving grace.
after seeing how ugly TP looks, I understand the conscious decision behind Wind Waker's visuals
>>322234645
I liked it Thb
>>322243456
TP is still a better game though. It improves on everything WW did. But, is still really mediocre compared to the N64 ones.
>>322243779
They dropped the dark undertones, magic, optional weapons/items, and decent NPC interaction
but the one thing they keep fucking up is making each game centrally gimmicky around the new hardware, and it just makes each game feel like a fucking tech demo for their console/controller
>>322234645
I know Nintendo makes some shitty commercials but damn son
>>322244008
Oh argue this all you want, but the games have gotten way fucking easier too
Dropping from a great height would be some deadly shit in the N64 games, but in recent ones? Lose like only a fucking heart and walk it off like Link is some kryptonite god motherfucker
And goddamn Link is such a fucking mary sue now, OH THE CHOSEN HERO~ LEMME WASH YO DICK JUST CUZ YOU LOOK LIKE THIS ONE GUY WHO WAS IN A BETTER GAME AT A BETTER TIME IN THIS IP'S LIFETIME~
>>322243063
>buffon
It's buffoon.
I'll list some, but judging from your post you're one of those sheep fans who'll negate my argument either way by saying that the series is just fine the way it is, but I'll go ahead and provide some examples
>no more collect-athon padding quests
>stop the rupee chest BS; provide actual rewards that aren't excess arrows, rupees, heart containers; etc
>difficulty options available at the start of the game
>skippable tutorials, and just more condensed tutorials overall
>option for a companion, not forced down your throat
>voice acting during important cut scenes, but nothing for Link
>incorporate ALBW's nonlinear dungeon design (but not the item shop shit, that ruins the game)
>pacing was seriously fucked in the last several major 3D games, and needs major improvement
>improvement to combat, enemy AI needs significant overhaul
>stop the 3 hits to take down one boss with a giant eye game mechanic
>>322243291
Not at all, becaue Skyrim is a terrible game without mods.
>>322244008
Yes, WW story is way better. But gameplay-wise, i think TP is the winner. And about the gimmicks, that's a problem plaguing every Nintedo game since the Wii, sadly. It's the reason the pulled Star Fox out of the grave. Let's hope Zelda U brakes that trend.
I don't get why so many people complain about Skyward Sword's linearity. It's not like any of the 2D games had wide open areas. The 2D maps were mostly a structure of corridors, with only one way leading to progress and the other paths being optional side areas or shortcuts, and the ground areas in SS are no different.
Look at Lanayru Desert and compare it to the LttP equivalent desert area. I'd say Lanayru is MORE complex than LttP's desert. Even the first time you explore it and have to find the 3 things to open the dungeon, there are multiple ways to get from point A to point B and you can spend a lot of time just screwing around going the wrong way and picking up optional treasures/rupees/bugs. The amount of interconnected pathways opens up even more once you go back there with the hookshot.. and not to mention the timestones only add to the area's complexity.
STOP GIVING ZELDA YOUR MONEY YOU RETARDS
THEY ARE ALL THE SAME SHITTY GAME
FUCKING PLEBS
>>322244010
It was cute tho
>>322243157
Good. You won't be missed.
>>322244316
>And about the gimmicks, that's a problem plaguing every Nintedo game since the Wii,
sound like someone fell for "gimmicks are bad" meme.
All games have gimmics. It's impossible to not have them. Unless you make shit games. Literally.
>>322234645
that guy looks like a molestor
>>322244727
he fuggs the loli in the other leaked video
she keeps the green tunic on
>>322244585
When you design a game around a specific gimmick, is bad. SS suffered from that.
>>322244474
There's also Eldin Volcano which is comparable to LttP's or LA's mountain area. The only reason it might've seemed easier to find your way around was due to them making full use of the Wii's capabilites and putting the entire mountain summit/peak and most of its tunnel systems into a single loading zone. And due to the 3D camera (and the ability to look around with the beetle) figuring out which path leads to where is much less of an issue than it was in the 2D mountain areas.
The big downhill slide area in Eldin seems like a more complex, action oriented version of the blind dropoffs in LttP's Death Mountain. I like how it gives you more control over where to go and you can see where you're going a lot better than in LttP where you had to rely on luck/memorization.. but there was still some challenge involved in getting onto all the different ledges. The Silent Realm trial in Eldin was one of the hardest and most demanding parts of the game because of this.
I prefer this sort of overworld design over TP's big empty fields any day. I only hope that Zelda U turns out to be basically LoZ in 3D, with its maze-like structure as opposed to large open "if you can see it you can go to it by just moving in a straight line" style.
>>322244316
Aonuma's the king of bad gimmicks that don't actually improve anything. It's all he's done since he took over the series.
>>322244858
It's even worse, since they built it entirely around a hardware gimmick (the wiimote.)
How are they going to import Skyward Sword to future virtual consoles or create a remaster of it when it strongly relies on the wiimote for its combat?
>>322239939
>Two real Zelda games and a bunch of spinoffs
Might as well include Smash in there
>>322244483
Zelda U will determine whether or not I continue buying the series or just end up pirating/emulating it instead.
Calling it now, Zelda U will have a character creation system
>>322244995
Bundle it with the Wii Remote and sell it at a premium price.

>>322241012
I loved skyward swords artsyle, the game didn't allow it to shine though
>>322234645
Why would you make a thread if you know very well it's fake?
Are you a shill in disguise?
>>322245305
I don't understand what this is.
>>322245202
I fucking hope not, considering how much marketing potential Link brings to Nintendo. He's been the face of the franchise for 30 years. To discard him for a generic character creation screen would be a completely idiotic business move on Nintendo's part.
There won't be a character customization menu in the traditional sense
You will have a few "options" that can be built upon later
Option 1.). Gender
Option 2.). Hair length, markings
Instead of a deep character creation, you simple decide the gender of your Link and the hair grows realistically endgame and you have more clothing/accessory options than ever.
A new armor system
Head cap
Tunic
Gauntlets
Leggings
Boots
Sword
Shield
The game will be called Zelda V: Hyrule Zeroes
Am I the only one who actuallylikedThe Minish Cap? I thought it had a really great Hyrule Town and I loved the fairy tale vibe.
Would not mind if the next Link is a girl.
Its always "reincarnated hero" not the exact same person so its fine.
As long as the gender wont affect gameplay.
