What the...?! (Zelda related) (That means you must look)

Nothing comes to mind...


I think it's weird how the triangle holding the clock is like, slanted, and the wood is cut to make the clock straight up.


Also, the ring on the top makes it likely that it clips on to something.


Hmm...

It might represent a countdown thing. Notice that the second hand rotates clockwise (duh XD ) and that it starts out with three Triforce pieces, going over to two, and then to one.

"3...2...1." Or something to that effect.

OK so since no one answered my question...

After 30 seconds the clock rewinds. And this brings me to this:
After 3 days in MM you start over.
Plus, in MM there's a clock. And in MM (I just confirmed this), in MM teh clock takes 30 seconds before the picture on it turns clock-wise.
And 30 seconds is how long it takes to go around the clock.
:D

Maybe its a pendant you get in the game or something.
I'm getting my hopes up guys...

My real Poison team in BW2. They all have perfect natures and EV's. I went the extra distance and bred the right IV's into them. Come at me bro.

I've also just noticed that the feather has the same colors as the designs on Fierce Deity Link's face. XD

Sigh...

QuoteRumor #2: The Floating Clock
The Countdown Clock - Zelda? I think not.

Does that picture look familiar to you? You might have been one of the twenty or so people who sent this story in to us, but rest assured it, too, has nothing to do with Zelda. Ignoring the heinous possibility of Nintendo outsourcing the next major Zelda game to a 3rd party - the first time this would have been done since The Minish Cap, discounting Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland - the only thing connecting this rumor to Zelda is people's lack of ability to read Japanese and their sniper-like ability to spot Triforces. Even if Marvelous Entertainment is responsible for the well-known Harvest Moon series, there's no reason for Nintendo to suddenly bring them into the development of Zelda, and especially in such a low-key way.

The Triforce is a common symbol; Nintendo actually doesn't hold any intellectual property over this iconic design. Why? Because the three triangles have been used throughout history. Look at a Sierpinski Triangle, a fractal that is, basically, made out of Triforces. The general idea is that there is beauty in dividing one large equilateral triangle into four separate and equal equilateral triangles - not to rip off Nintendo.

The triangles, in this clock's case, are the numbers. 3, 2, 1. They could have used squares, but hey - guess what? - the clock is triangle-shaped. he triangles, by design, and by Sierpinski's wonderful fractal, fit into that shape perfectly. The following thought graces my mind: The local mall in this area has a giant 3D statue of something that looks just like a Triforce. How come Nintendo isn't at my mall presenting the next Zelda game?

Several people who can actually read and understand Japanese, and not just use Google Translator, have told me that this has nothing to do with Zelda. Although I cannot read Japanese myself, I trust these sources very much.

And to solve the "magic" that was the clock page showing up on Google searches for things like "http://www.mmv.co.jp/ + zelda" - Google's algorithm gathers keywords from the internet and groups sites to those keywords. If you talk enough about a site being related to Zelda, Google is going to think that it is and group the search terms. In essence, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy - you want the site to be related to Zelda so much that you talk about it enough to cause Google to group the site to the false keyword. And when somebody runs the search and discovers that the site is linked to the keyword, then screams "It MUST be Zelda!!", they think that some prophecy has been fulfilled and that it really is Zelda, not knowing that they - and the countless others who linked the site to the Zelda keyword - inadvertantly caused this false connection to occur.

I hope the Zelda community has just a tiny bit more sense now, so that we can all get excited over a real announcement.

... I hope if a new Zelda game does spring from this, that guy is run out of town >.<

Oh, btw, here's some help:


Quoteon a webpage, if you go to "view" then "source" you can see it all in html format, thats how to rip things off webpages when usually u aint allowed, like u can rip pics and vids off and stuff like that, but who ever writes the code can also write other stuff in the source that doesnt come up on the actual webpage
^cousin said that
XD
Ok that might not help at all but this might:

Well... I... He... Okay, fine, I hope he still has access to a computer.
Sheesh.
In any case, there sure are a lot of skeptics out there. I've never been a skeptic, or a pessimist, so I wouldn't know what its like to always have a gray cloud over my head.

And if they want us to believe it's zelda?
Just like that webmaster from that obscure page wrote, the triforce is not trademarked. What if the third company was pulling an "innocent" stunt to atract Zelda fans?
I still have mixed feelings over this, since the clock does look zelda-like.
Although, it is posible that Nintendo finally trusted a third company to develop a 3D Zelda...

Those too are key factors. I wonder how the game would be different if designed by a third company...


Anyway, did anyone calculate how long till it stops counting?
