So Nintendo brought up so many things, SO many things... I'll just stick with Zelda.

Let's talk 3DS first : there will be an Ocarina of Time 3DS. For screenshots of the tech demo shown at the E3, see Nintendo's E3 webpage ( click 3DS, check 'Nintendo games' ), Zelda Informer dot com or even the Official Nintendo Magazine webpage ( UK ) .
It looks fantastic, but I would've appreciated a video trailer of some sort. Of course, we can't really see how the 3D works unless we have a 3DS in front of us. We won't be needing glasses to see the 3D and we can turn it off too if it annoys us. Or if we can't see it anyway (eyes, such a complicated thing. Seems some people can't see 3D the same way others do. )

Back to Ocarina of Time, all I know is that it's eventually coming to us ( they don't make it sound as if it were a launch title though ) and they'll fix a few things up. Like what? Well, Iron Boots in the Water Temple anyone? Yup, sounds promising. Meanwhile, all what people have seen is the Hyrule Fields intro. Epona? She's gorgeous. Simply gorgeous.

Also, Kid Icarus and Star Fox 64.

I honestly prefer a plain 3DS remake than a full, home console one. They basically ( in my opinion ) brought back classic titles to attract hardcore gamers into yet another Nintendo handheld ( many still don't believe the 3DS will reach its expectations... hard to believe in 3D without glasses. ...Or without being a 3$ bookmark in some library ) and new ones into exploring their old masterpieces.
Why not a true home console remake? Just because I'd rather have them work on a whole new game. As for bringing back OoT to a handheld that made many people raise an eyebrow and shake their head, that's just marketing genius.
Ocarina of Time has been toyed with so much, it's time to accept the upcoming 3DS view on it and let it rest.



Wii Zelda is officially known as The Legend of Zelda : Skyward Sword.
Cel-shaded game. When handled well, it can make graphics look awesome. The final product will look better than what was shown at the E3. ( Watching the first Twilight Princess trailers, I'm glad TP's graphics also improved by the time the game got released. )
No, cel-shading doesn't always mean Chibi Link. He's not chibi. andhescutetee-hee.
You've probably seen the new artwork by now, but if you haven't, again, Zelda Informer has them. Along with probably just about every other Zelda fansite that adds news frequently.
Love how it looks. Better than Twilight Princess actually. But I won't change TP's artstyle if I could : it fits TP with that brush that gives it an aggressive look. Skyward Sword's watercolour feel fits Skyward Sword.
I don't like calling it SS. Nuff said.

I mean seriously... 'Oh look, it's SS Link!'      eep...


The game will be highly intuitive it seems. It will need the Motion Plus and what we'll be able to do with that looks freaking awesome. I mean promising.
We can also charge up the sword aaaand -wait for it- shoot beams! Woo!

Pew! Pew!

Anyway, the trailers should be available just about everywhere by now. Go and watch.

The plot now. Why is it that the first ever released picture is one of Hell On Earth, but the game trailer is so cheerful, colourful and straight from a happy Mario-esque world? And has Link gone emo by jumping to his death at the end of the trailer?
Nope. Link grew up in a world high up in the skies called Sky Loft. Something happens there that he learns that there's a whole world below him. That world is, you guessed it, having a hard time with evil. He will have to travel back and forth from his own land to the land below. It's pre-Ocarina of Time and saying anything more would start becoming spoilers. If you want that one spoiler out already, you can find the whole roundtable text at Zelda Informer or IGN. Zentendo ( Gemakei dot com ) also has information about it, but not the whole text : just a quick round-up of the conversation by someone who was there. It's also a nice read. And shorter than my babbling.

Fully orchestrated music? That was also asked, along with voice-acting. They said a whole team will be working of orchestrated music, but they ignored the voice-acting question. Take it as you will.

You're crying? 'Why aren't the graphics like the ones in Twilight Princess?' It's said that they were planning to make it look like TP at first, but that realistic graphics wouldn't fit with the gameplay. As we'll have to find every monster's weak point and aim at it with the wii-mote instead of locking-on with the push of a button, they needed exagerated features that wouldn't really look best with TP graphics. No, again, that doesn't mean Link himself is super-deformed. But if that's true, I must say... those weird goblin-like monsters? Looks as if... the nose's the weak point! o.o

Anyway, more information, or ''leaks'', will probably be out by the time I finish typing this. Can't wait to get my hands on that game. But to make sure it'll be perfect, they've planned a 2011 release, not a 2010 one. According to Zentendo ( I mean Gemakei ) , that involves adding a few more dungeons and... na na na naaaa, polishing the graphics. And the music, of course.

We'll surely get a (much needed) trailer of the game's darker side by the end of the year. Right now, it seems Link was on the way to a pic-nic. And it's good. Why? They just wanted to concentrate on showing off the gameplay. And Nintendo's not stupid : after releasing that hellish picture, why show such a bright and colourful trailer? Yup, they just love taking people by surprise, but they don't make useless steps either. Not with Zelda. Not when the plot (it seems, I swear I've read that somewhere) was done quite a while ago.

Enough babbling for now.

On a final note : Stop hating Link's pants, I like them.

No hating! :C

I want to draw why... I'll go try that. *Eyes graphic tablet with a hint of hate*

It doesn't involve stop signs, clocks and hammers.
