A lot of people are confused as to whether they should cheer or cry...

I am slightly confused about what this is. The article doesn't really make it that clear... But from what I can comprehend, I vote NOOOOO...

I think it's fake.

Like that thing about TWW. It was gonna be re-released only with TP graphics...

But I do like the title.  :P

It's not one of those supposed "leaked" things TP, it's something Nintendo refuses to comment about and websites everywhere are reporting on. It's a patent, not just a rumor or fake interview.

Sounds to me like it's similar to selecting different difficulty levels, like I (and probably others) had suggested quite a while ago. I'm happy with it for now, but we'll still just have to wait and see. This is a system patent for a dummy title, after all, so you can bet all your Rupees that there will be drastic changes.

As long as I have the option to play Zelda as usual, I'm fine with it I guess.

Nintendo always seems to make it better than it sounds...
So I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt on this one.
You'd better not disappoint, Nintendo. Thats all I gotta say.
If they screw up on Zelda- they could be losing a LOT of players.

It could be a good move by Nintendo, helping them keep some of the new crowd they may have sucked in with the easy gameplay of WW, TP, and PH.  Likewise, they can patch things up between them and the gamers who were annoyed with the low difficulty of those games.

TP was made easy due to improved controls. But then there was the huge timing between all of the final boss' attacks... One time I just charged right in and won in five minutes, without giving him a chance.

I SAY NOOOOOOO! I would quit zelda and cut myself if they did that.

Not to mention the fact that most attacks deal only a quarter-heart of damage, if not half. ;)

I'm not jokling tho. I would and then I would go postal on Shiggy.

Okay, perhaps you need to calm down. I know a good Psychiatrist, Dr. Shapiro, and he could probably help you. Seriously, going emo over a bad video game isn't worth it. Remember what happened to CD-i? They destroyed Zelda, but she rose from the dead, sometime later, and came out with even better games. Than again, CD-i never recovered from bankruptcy...
Title: Re: NOOOOO... Yay?
Post by: The Glamour Nazi on January 22, 2009, 05:57:37 PM
I wasn't around for that... And Zelda was as... Built up as it is now.
Title: Re: NOOOOO... Yay?
Post by: Pale Dim on January 22, 2009, 06:07:02 PM
You don't know CD-i? I must teach! (Warning: May be painful.)
Title: Re: NOOOOO... Yay?
Post by: The Glamour Nazi on January 22, 2009, 06:09:16 PM
Oh I know it... I wish i didn't but I was barely born when it happened.

I CANT WAIT TO BOMB SOME DODONGOS!

MAH BOI!

SQUADELLAH! WE'RE OFF!

Post by: Pale Dim on January 22, 2009, 06:13:55 PM
Perhaps I taught a little too well....
Title: Re: NOOOOO... Yay?
Post by: The Glamour Nazi on January 22, 2009, 06:22:15 PM
You taught nothing. You are the best teacher ever! So back on topic I wouldn't mind so long as if you put your name as Link, (Like all Zelda players would) You got to play just a regular Zelda game.
Title: Re: NOOOOO... Yay?
Post by: Pale Dim on January 22, 2009, 06:29:27 PM
Well, yeah, add extras, but as long as you keep the traditional gameplay of Zelda. The episode selection from FSA was a little disappointing.
Title: Re: NOOOOO... Yay?
Post by: The Glamour Nazi on January 22, 2009, 06:31:51 PM
Yeah. One of their disapointments. But it was still good. Do you think The nightmare from LA looks a little like vaati? I do...
Title: Re: NOOOOO... Yay?
Post by: Pale Dim on January 22, 2009, 06:35:51 PM
I didn't play that one. Sorry. I only played the Gamecube games, attempted the SNES of ALTTP, and I am still working on TP for the Wii.
Title: Re: NOOOOO... Yay?
Post by: The Glamour Nazi on January 23, 2009, 12:05:51 PM
Links Awakening was great.

I think it did. Stinks I can't find any pics.
Title: Re: NOOOOO... Yay?
Post by: Pale Dim on January 23, 2009, 03:35:17 PM
So what does this casualization actually mean?
Title: Re: NOOOOO... Yay?
Post by: MagmarFire on January 23, 2009, 03:36:36 PM
Dumbing the game down Appealing to the audience that doesn't really give a crap about the series.
Title: Re: NOOOOO... Yay?
Post by: The Glamour Nazi on January 23, 2009, 03:40:42 PM
Making it appealing to non gamer girls and old people...

Pretty much Wii-sporting it.
Title: Re: NOOOOO... Yay?
Post by: Pale Dim on January 23, 2009, 03:42:57 PM
Suddenly I vote no... :-[
Title: Re: NOOOOO... Yay?
Post by: The Glamour Nazi on January 23, 2009, 03:45:08 PM
See why I would over react? That is worse than CD-i -ing it. the only fun CD-i game was....

Sorry for the little bit of blood thats in it.

but Yeah it isn't a good Idea Shiggy don't do it. but like I said before if you name your character link it should be a regular Zelda game.

It sounds like the thing's optional, so if it allows us to keep the challenge while still appealing a newer audience, what's there to be nervous about?
Title: Re: NOOOOO... Yay?
Post by: The Glamour Nazi on January 23, 2009, 03:48:43 PM
True. So long as you can disable hints. or they are navi like hints.

They should bring Navi back. Navi personally not a new fairy.

Navi liked Link as in actually liked him. Unlike tatl.
Title: Re: NOOOOO... Yay?
Post by: Hi no Seijin on January 23, 2009, 03:52:46 PM
Actually, near the end of the game, Tatl grew to respect Link.
Title: Re: NOOOOO... Yay?
Post by: The Glamour Nazi on January 23, 2009, 03:54:36 PM
I saw it more of a... Tolerance. Maybe a little more. But she did not have the relationship that Link and Navi had.

As we all know MM started while Link was searching for her.
Title: Re: NOOOOO... Yay?
Post by: Hi no Seijin on January 23, 2009, 03:55:51 PM
I don't think it was ever explicitly stated that Link was looking for Navi at the beginning of MM.
Title: Re: NOOOOO... Yay?
Post by: The Glamour Nazi on January 23, 2009, 04:03:34 PM
It very strongly implies it. Just listen to the sound bit in the beginning

Hear a familiar

"Hey!"
Title: Re: NOOOOO... Yay?
Post by: MagmarFire on January 23, 2009, 04:05:27 PM
Yeah, it was implied incredibly heavily. I don't think there were that many "invaluable friends" that parted ways with him after OoT. There's only one that was made blatantly obvious.
Title: Re: NOOOOO... Yay?
Post by: Hi no Seijin on January 23, 2009, 04:06:38 PM
Yeah, I know, but implying something is different than explicitly stating it.

Either way, it's Nintendo fault for never being clear on this stuff.
Title: Re: NOOOOO... Yay?
Post by: The Glamour Nazi on January 23, 2009, 04:09:48 PM
They were actually very specific for some reason.
Title: Re: NOOOOO... Yay?
Post by: Pale Dim on January 23, 2009, 04:25:40 PM
Takes me some time to understand what they're getting at sometimes.
Title: Re: NOOOOO... Yay?
Post by: The Glamour Nazi on January 23, 2009, 04:28:05 PM
Yeah but they made that one really clear.

Did ye have a subject at one point? Lets find it.
