The Wii - finally doing what it was always supposed to do.

But seriously, I get a little deja-vu from this, I think we heard the same thing before Twilight Princess was released, right? Only this time they might actually do it.

fuck. I don't want to waggle a sword around to play the game lol

It's an insta-buy being a Zelda, but still. I seriously hope the game isn't just another remake of the same tired story.

i would be interested depending on how responsive it is. WiiSports Resort did a good job, but I expect some tightened screws in this one

I wouldn't worry about it. It's Zelda. It'll be here eventually. When it shows up, it'll be amazing. Then everyone will say it sucks because its not as good as Ocarina of Time.

its no link to the past.

oh maaaaaaaaaaan, it was bad enough having to shake your wrist every time u wanted to hit something in tp, now we're going to have to sit forward the whole time so u can perform a twirling gesture to execute a special attack or something??! :((((((((((

no wait, that doesn't work....

Uh huh, I bet. Wake me up when they walk the walk and manage to crank out something more intuitive than furiously jerking the remote off in lieu of tapping the A button.

I still can't get over the whole 'right-handed Link' thing. I'd rather this be on the GameCube.

Just no more fucking fishing. It's why I stopped playing Twilight Princess. For hours a day for a week I was trying to do the stuppid fishing bullshit to advance throught the story until finally I said "Fuck it." I have never in my life experienced a single game mechanic so convuloted that I couldn't finish the game until I played Twilight Princess.

People will complain all they want, but you know when this finally comes out everyone will buy it.

If the enemies in this game cheat half as much as those bastards in Wii Sports Resort, count me in.

@ Xzyliac:

Fishing is a part of Zelda games. I bought the Wii on day #1 with Red Steel and LoZ:TP. When I had to fish, I handed over the controller to a middle-aged mom who never played a videogame before and she was fishing on TP just fine.

Am I the only one who didn't dislike TP? Personally I think having the Wii Motion Plus make it seem like you are really in a sword fight would be uber-cool. There would be the obvious issue though that nobody knows how to fight with swords, so they'll have to have yet even longer "trainer" episodes at the beginning of the game. That almost turned me off to TP when I first started playing it, almost stopped playing it ... training how to fish, training how to swing your sword, training how to ride Epona, training how to kill those monsters with the Midna / Wolf Link death lunge. Well hey at least maybe it will make the games HARDER. I remember feeling desperate in TP maybe twice - at the end of the Cave of Ordeals (without a fairy OR chu jelly, oops), and another was trying to beat the damned snowman's wife in sledding. I fell off that cliff more times than I care to remember.

Anyway, there's some things I want to see:
1) Make it harder so that there's the desperation of possibly failing.
2) Make the game more nonlinear like the original Zelda and Zelda II. Make Hyrule HUGE AND nonlinear while you're at it.
3) More adult. Or at least make it feel more human. I have to say I enjoyed seeing the progression of how Midna liked Link and how Link seemed to genuinely be sad whenever Midna got into shit and had to get bailed out *again* ... and in the end. Zelda's too stony and logical (natch with the whole Wisdom part being with her) and Link has always been too ... stoic. Bringing in Midna brought them more human feeling. Of course you want to keep humor and jovial things in for the kids, but many gamers now are adults.
4) Advance Hyrule a bit. With the exception of trains in Spirit Tracks, there's been little innovation outside of the clawshot/sword/shield/horse riding/bow & arrow/cannons. Not saying make it be like A Link to the Future puke April Fool's joke, but something like cusp of industrial revolution-ish.
