Hurry Up and Come Out, A Link Between Worlds

Still hard to believe we're actually getting a sequel to Link to the Past.

Yeah, I get what they're going for with the art style... but the character models just look like junk.
I am definitely liking the way the environments look, though.

Don't 3D my Link to the Past.

Hope the game's good, because the looks don't make it for me.

I suppose Lorule is a less obvious pun to the Japanese audience, but it's still very silly.

What are you talking about? High-rule Low-rule.

If two very different sisters were named Kawaii and Kowai, you wouldn't understand either.

Maybe I'm weird about this but for me a big part of Zelda 3 was the delay-like reverb effect they used everywhere. It gave the game such a unique sound. I hope there's lots of liberally applied echoes to this one, too ;)

Fuck yes. People say Nintendo is in trouble, but I feel like they are just focusing on their handheld Divison, and are fucking killing it. Seriously, callin it right now, the 3ds/2ds are gonna sell more than either one of the next gen consoles by a large margin.

I thought that was a given. In Japan 3DS already surpassed the Wii lifetime sales.

Man, I love the art in this game. It's basically the style of the official art for the first few Zelda games, which I've always loved. Very classic fantasy.

After just playing the Ys games on Steam this 3D isometric view looks plain bad. I mean really bad. So ugly I could not finish watching the trailer.

Lorule... That's just funny. The dialogue seemed unintentionally goofy too, but whatever, cool I guess.

I seriously can't wait to play this game. I haven't played a LoZ game in a while, and this looks really promising. :D

I've only played the first and some of Link to the Past, but I hope the fans are happy with this.

Me... well, most of my time with Link has been dealing with his damn sword range in Smash Bros.

would have been nice if the game had any art direction

True, what I have seen so far seems kinda bland.

I think its looks great for polygonal remakes of old sprites. I just have this weird feeling about the flat graphics.

Does Nintendo do anything other than try to play off of my nostalgia? What was the last new thing they tried to do?

Graphically this doesn't look like much but I personally think Lorule is fantastically quirky.

The 2D hand-drawn style art in this game looks fantastic, but those 3D models are... uninspiring. Like if someone tried to render Disney's Snow White on the N64, and it somehow came out blander than the actual N64 Zelda games.

That theme music, holy shit. it brings back memories.

Loading Video...

The Zelda scores get me every time. Have you heard the 25th Anniversary orchestration they did for Skyward Sword? It is goosebump-inducing.

Super Mario Galaxy would have been great even without the classic Mario stuff...and Pushmo's pretty awesome. They actually do a fair number of things that are sprinkled with nostalgia but really are just completely original ideas wrapped in a familiar package. This Zelda game looks like it's going to be trying a ton of new things structurally and just so happens to be a direct sequel to the SNES game for some reason.

What are people complaining about? The style they choose looks almost like how Link is drawn in the original NES game manual. Granted it's not his more thinner ALttP design (wich would be more fitting since this is a sequal of some kind) but to have a bit chunkier character on screen makes it easier to see him I guess. I really don't see what's so wrong with this design or do people just want pixels instead? The game will problably be great so who cares.

Lorule.

I guess they already had Waluigi

So we're going to find out that Lorule is a play on the Japanese words for Hell's Gate or something?

Looking forward to the new vision and gameplay mechanics! Interested to see how they take full advantage of the 2D/3D motif.
