Too bad the hype for all three next gen systems is overshadowing that of this current gen game.

I have nothing but pure joy. I gathered that Ganon (in some shape or form) was going to be returning, but if it gets to be the real Ganon... mwha haha, how excellent. I think he would be very well placed within the apparent atmosphere of this game. I can't wait.

@ jon

Obviously you don't follow Zelda games very well. Do your research before you stick your foot in your mouth.

I dont know about the rest of you, but that trailer that was posted on the 16th just blew me away.
Along with all the news that is slowly being leaked out and the approaching release date, this is the only purchase I am going to make for quite a while, if only for the fact that I want to savor this game. Now I just have to wait for nintendo to ship the component video cable, and its all good.

I just want to know what kind of features have been added since the delay back in november. Will the whole wait be worth it? Either way, the moment it hits the shelves, it will be in my hands.

Halo 2 hype? This is almost as good as StarWars EP I hype.

I love the fact that they're trying to make the boss battles more challenging. I so can't wait for this game, it's going to make me fail my last semester of college. :D

I'm playing the master quest version of OOt on GNC, right now. I own the awful cartoon series on DVD.

You're a tool. This is a message board not an astrophysics dissertation.

I had to choose between trading King Kong in for money down on Oblivion or Zelda, I chose Oblivion because I really wanna see my new xbox put to good use.

Did I make the right decision?

I recently finished Wind Waker. Whats funny is that I got stuck near the end of the game. I quit and I got so distracted with other games (including MP2, RE4, God Of War, GTA, Guitar hero, SOTC) that I completed forgot (and I love to complete the games I start). One day less than 2 years later (!) I picked up the game and booted up. I was shocked how easy it was to get back into it. What surprised me was how good the game play was after all that time. It was as if the game got BETTER with age!

I know I'll get flamed for saying that but I really was shocked. I am extremely excited to pick this up.

@ #1

what are you talking about next gen isnt doing anything to dent this games hype. in fact, lots of people and even some game magazines expect this to be game of the year for 2006.

Ganon: "Link, I am your father"
Link: "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

Tinkle: "There is...another...pointy-ear..."
Link: "The princess? My sister?"

And perhaps in regards to the new "grown-up" look:
Tinkle: "HE IS TOO OLD! YES, TOO OLD TO BEGIN TRAINING!"

Personally, I'm sick of fighting Ganon, I'm sick of finding the Master sword, I'm sick of cutting grass for rupees,etc.

I was really hoping the main nemesis for Zelda:TP would not be ganon...

There was also the info that the enemies and bosses would be more challenging than before, which is legit news. So STFU, k thanks?

Exo, actually this one is done by Aonuma, not Miyamoto.

And jon, Ganon has not been a major character in about half of the Zelda games. Zelda 2(the plot is somewhat about him but he's not in the game other than the game over screen), Link's Awakening, Majora's Mask, Four Swords, and Minish Cap all do not feature Ganon(and the oracles games only have him if you play through both). That's almost every other game. And seeing how he was in the last game on the console, it wasn't exactly a guarantee he'd be in this one.

He's typically on the first game of a console but then absent from the second one. This is true for NES and N64.

So of course him being in the game is news, there was no guarantee he would be.

Sorry #17, but Link and Zelda aren't Siblings...the quote that created that confusion from LttP:

"Zelda is your..." (translated version)

is actually:

"Zelda is your destiny" (Super famicom version)

The reason for the "..." was due to memory restrictions with fitting in the word Destiny into the translated version.

2. Gannon in a Zelda game is news?

Actually, it kind of is, if by that he means he will once again be Ganon, his warped pig form from the 8 and 16-bit games, rather than Ganondorf, his original human form. The last console game where Ganon was Ganon was A Link To The Past, for the SNES. Incidentally, that game made mention of some event in the past where Ganondorf the thief was irrevocably turned into Ganon. Maybe this is the game where that happens.

Who said Ganon was going to be the main baddy? Theres a very good chance he will be but how can we know for sure? Nothing in that article seemed to say he was -the- baddy.

I hope that both Vaati and Ganon sometime *have* to join Link's party because there is no other choice for defeating an incredibly stronger evil.

Actually, Deuce, Ganondorf transformed into Ganon at the end of Ocarina of Time, the first Zelda game for the N64. In fact, the exact thing you mentioned, Ganondorf the thief turning into Ganon, is what happens in Ocarina of Time. Ocarina of Time is supposedly the first Zelda game in the Zelda timeline.

If you haven't played it, I recommend picking up a version of it and playing it right now.

rockinrobbie, the exact same thing happened to me with link's awakening.

he said it would be more than we could ever imagine right? now this is a long shot, but, what if all the time spent working on it was adding a mode where you play ganon's side of the happenings in tp, similar to playing as ada in the ps2 version of re4. Just some thoughts.

oh and personaly, i prefer ganondorf to ganon.

Rockinrobbie,

I may pick it up tonight and see if I can beat it.

"Ocarina of Time is supposedly the first Zelda game in the Zelda timeline."

I thought they were all unrelated to each other; like Final Fantasy (except they all have link, most have zelda and some have ganon). If they are, the signs are too few.
