Legend of Zelda 2008 Web site is probably nothing, we still ask for speculation photo

Unless Nintendo are planning yearly Legend of Zelda updates a la sports titles, this zelda2008.com Web site is probably nothing to get your panties wet over.

The Web site is nothing more than a teaser, and only contains an image and the text "the new legend awaits" in the soure code. And based on the domain registration information, this likely has nothing to do with Nintendo at all. Of course, we probably could have told you that by simply looking at the amatuer graphics. Oh, and the cease and desist that Nintendo's lawyers will slap the owners with in three, two, one ...

So what is Legend of Zelda 2008? A fan made game, or a fan made film? Or simply a Web site that is going to get a ton of hits from videogame sites who have nothing else to write about on a slow news day?

Not to worry, Darth Vader is on the case. I shall alert my fellow evil peoples at Nintendo, and they shall shut this shit down. Otherwise, I will fucking shock these fucks with lightning, straight outta my fingers! How's that, fake Zelda fucks? Damn right.

2008
2+0+0+8 = 10
2008 - 10 = 1998
1+9+9+8 = 27
1+9-9+8 = 9
27+9 = 36
36*10 = 360

Zelda is coming to the Xbox 360. You heard it here first.

A fan made total conversion mod for PC? That'd be my guess, either that or just a fan site.

I always felt that it would be nice to have an epic three parter that finally told how the overall battle between the Triforce of Courage that Link represents and Gannon would end.. It would be nice if the games skipped in timeframes more dramatically throught them until the series "Ended"... It's nice to have more Zelda games, and likely they would never end even if the "end" was told... I don't see the harm in it and I would love it *shrug*

But of course.. Knowing Nintendo, it would never happen.

if nintendo went with that godawful font in "coming soon", they deserve to have their children raped repeatedly.

not to mention the horribly-done stylized "The Legend of Zelda"

anyone could do that in photoshop in 1 minute.

Yeah, if that's made by Nintendo I'll eat my hat. And my socks. Other clothing articles $5 each.

Through the magic of [url=http://www.omniglot.com/writing/hylian2.htm] This website[/link], I have taken the time to read and decrypt the prhase, which reads: "Ogoseminuyamiruhomi gamomi umofuraramirumemi rere orumaraminn amagumirugajinumi" That is Hylian - Japanese. Who can take it from here?

Now the source code says "Who will restore the dreams if not you?"

I'd love to be able to pump out slogans as quickly as these people!

On Go Nintendo, it says that the Hylian writing at the bottom translates to "Experience the Challenge of Endless Adventure", which was on the back of the box for The Legend of Zelda for the NES.

That's pretty cool, I gotta admit.

Orionsaint: That's gotta be the worst fake-Zelda title I've ever heard.


That's right up there with Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon.

The Legend of Zelda: Lots Of Random Events Somehow Lead A Small Village Boy, Who Everyone Knows In Advance Is Secretly The Hero Of Time, To Save The World, Which Is Probably Called Hyrule, From A Badguy Who Has Kidnapped Princess Zelda. Again. And Is Probably But Doesn't Have To Be Ganon. Again.

Experience the challenge of endless subtitle.

...I'd still buy it.

It's only the worst fake-Zelda title ever to you because I made it up. If Nintendo had announced that titled. You might not like still, but you'd be intrigued by it. Who's Malador? A new enemy, wtf?, and in a few days you'd be cozying on up with that title.

It's like if I made a fake name for the new Nintendo something. Hmm maybe The Wii. You'd laugh in my face, but Nintendo announces it and everyones onboard. Whatever.

Apparently I'm alone on this, but I like the painted/3D style Link shown in the pic above. As for a cyberpunk future Zelda game (as shown by the Wii.tv clip that e-Thug posted), that would just suck as a Zelda game but it might be OK if it was a new IP.

@ deanhatescoffee:

Seriously dude, get Nintendo on the horn! I'm with you 100% on the new IP thing, and if the new series is successful Nintendo can integrate the positive features from it into the next Zelda game. I have wanted Nintendo to start a new Zelda-style IP ever since Twilight Princess, because it seems they have run out of ideas. I would like to clarify that I don't like !00% of the Future Zelda concept, but it certainly provides an interesting starting point.

On topic: Yea, this is probably nothing.
