    Bah, this is just a shoddy version of Dragon's Lair.

    Speculation based on earlier SPOILER comments....


















    If you are reassembling the Triforce of Courage in the game (which in of itself will provide a huge old-skool buzz), perhaps this will lead into either how Ganon has the full Triforce in ALTTP, or how the Triforce of Courage got locked up in the Great Palace for AOL.

    That's true, 2nd Quest. Maybe Link ends up giving it to that little old man in the red robe that summons up Shadow Link in Zelda II. Would love to see that little old fart again. :)

    Does any of you ever think that the creator of Zelda is gonna have a brain tumor or something and maybe make Zelda for the Xbox too...?
    Im saying this without hope, because Zelda has always been with Nintendo, but i just got an xbox when i was thinking i was gonna get a gc, and theres no hope in me ever getting another console within a year or two.. and my parents wont even get me any games for the xbox either, so i have 3 games, and thats it for probably another 3 months before i have saved my allowance enough to buy another one... they wont get me one game. Damn Nazis...

    Unless Nintedo goes 3rd party like Sega did, you'll never see Zelda on the PS2 or Xbox, or any future incarnations of said consoles. It would be an extremely bad business move.

    It's about time!!!!
    SPOILERS!









    The final battle in the game, at least one of the parts of the final battle, is a SWORDFIGHT with Ganon. Not just swinging your sword at him, no no. I mean a full on sword fight. Okay this game is going to own. Also from reading a guide there appeared to be 9 dungeons, but who knows. Also the centipede boss from ALttP makes a return, and the actual arena you fight Ganon in is supposedly amazing- an aerial platform with falling water all around it. This reeks of coolness.

    I'm happy with what I have. A PC for KOTOR, and a GC for Zelda.

    Hey, I'm a Zelda fan from the beginning and I just had a few comments/questions. First, about this bonus disc, I was at the mall on Saturday and they were advertising the disc for a Feb. pick-up if you pre-order now with $15 down. I've read all your comments already in this thread, but what exactly is this bonus disc? It has something to do with OoT I know, but is it that entire game or just an add-on? (Personally, I would give anything to have OoT on GC...)

    As for the look of the new game, I'm still undecided on it. I was looking forward to having amazing graphics in terms of realism when I heard about this game and I was disappointed when I saw the whole cell-shaded pictures. But I've heard so much good about this game already, that I won't judge till I actually play it. Considering this game is the only reason I bought GC and not PS2, I'm hoping it's good. I am encouraged to hear that Zelda is in it more though and the Triforce plays a larger part...

    The bonus disk has the actual OoT on it and the Master Quest (I think that's what it's called). The OoT is just the plain old version from the N64. The Master Quest is the same OoT with different, and supposedly harder puzzles, and a few other changes I think.

    The bonus disc includes both the N64 Ocarina of Time (now running in a higher resolution) as well as The Master Quest, which is basicly what "Ura Zelda" was. Ura Zelda was an add-on for OOT that was to be released for the 64DD disk drive add-on for the N64. The hardware addon was never successful and Ura Zelda was never released. The Master Quest basicly adds the Ura Zelda modifications to OOT. The game is more or less the same, but some dungeons have been rearranged and is supposedly more difficult.

    The Master Quest is essentially to Ocarina of Time what the 2nd Quests ( ::) ) were to the original two Zelda games on the NES.

    I don't have a GC, well not yet. Planning to buy on the same day as the new Zelda :)

    I can't wait for the game, it looks so great and the sword fight with Ganon and the end. Sounds simply amazing :eek:

    There is one little catch:
    I have to wait untill May!!!! :( :_|

    Good to see this thread back.

    Good to see some people excited too.

    I've been playing the import for a while now and like I said in this very thread before, this game does live up to the hype and it crushes any rants blurted out by the detractors due to the look.

    This game delivers. Now, if I could actually read Japanese, i'd enjoy this game a hell lot more. But then again, I'm an impatient geek :D
