"Less than tepid response. Not surprising from these forums. This game will be fantastic, just like Phantom Hourglass. I guess I'm one of the few that actually got and enjoyed the Ocean Temple. Yes, the train is a boat replacement. That doesn't mean "overworld" gameplay will be less than it was in Phantom Hourglass (if anything, there will be more). Think of it more as a change in theme and setting, rather than the return of a gameplay mechanic.

Normally I would give a shit what you all think of this game, but then I remember the warm reception the Giant Bomb community gave to the announcement of GTA: Chinatown Wars. Half the comments are given out of some fanboy lust, and the other half are just ignorant (a small minority have an educated opinion).

Well saying that it looks identical to PH in terms of gameplay is probably what Nintendo want, isn't it? A part from minor adjustments, haven't all LoZ games been pretty much the same? Don't get me wrong I loved PH and Wind Waker, even more so than OoT, but I'm not sure what people were expecting from a DS Zelda title. Having said that, if the overworld is locked to the tracks available then that may well feel limiting to the old Zelda fans, but this is new Nintendo, and they want to make the games as accessable as they can. Plus, I must confess that the train idea isn't sitting great with me. I actually liked the sailing in WW.

"If this is the only Legend of Zelda game to be announced this year, ima want heads to start rolling! Because, in all seriousness, we need a new Legend of Zelda game for the Wii."

More like a Real Zelda game, because this may say zelda but it simply isn't."
