| --OkeyDokey-- said: I'm sure it will be as good as any other Zelda. But Nintendo really fucked up with that failed demo and lame trailer. I was more excited for Phantom Hourglass than I am this. Definitely the least hyped in the series in recent memory. |
Exactly how I feel. It's underwhelming when you consider the reaction to other recent Zelda reveals-particularly Twilight Princess in 2004. As a big fan of Zelda, I can't wait to get it, but it's up in the air whether it'll be a decent Zelda title or a challenger for best Zelda yet. I think the reason Nintendo showed it at the beginning of their conference was because they anticipated technical problems. That way, the rest of the games shown and the 3DS reveal could take attention away from a poor reveal for one of the most beloved franchises in gaming.
This being said, we've seen barely anything of the game. An early build of an area that may not even be in the final game is no way to judge this. I mean, look at the reaction to Wind Waker in 2001-Celda, anyone? And I half believe if they hadn't rushed Wind Waker to market, and upped the difficulty a little, it would have been the greatest Zelda yet. As it was, it turned out to be a masterpiece with a couple of issues that really came down to how much patience you had.
