I am completely psyched for this game.

And lol @ the Ghiraham tongue-lashing gif, good stuff.

People are either nuts, juvenile, or Sean Malstrom fanboys if they're freaking out over the mention of Link growing up in a boarding school as part of the game's backstory.

If we rewind back to 2003, it'd be people going insane when they heard Link had a grandma at the start of the game and percolated wild ideas that the entire game would be nothing but Link performing fetch quests for his granny.

Nintendo fans am worst fans. All they ever want is infinite copies of the singular title in a given franchise they adore, and display wild, 14-year-old displays of vitriol at anything different from their Twoo Wuv.

- The starting plot unfolds quite a bit differently from other Zeldas. "This game's plot is something like a school drama, you could say," Aonuma noted with a laugh. "The flying sequence at the E3 demo is Link competing against his classmates. One of them looks kind of a like a bad guy, as you saw, and he shows up in other ways in the game too, since he has a major thing for Zelda."

Link, Zelda and their other friends all go to the same boarding school, and you've got teachers and a principal as well. It's a bit of a different setting from previous Zeldas."


Whatever hope I had for this game has just been destroyed reading this.

It's a joke. When he says it like that, it's a joke. Remember Aonuma's "Odoro no Linku?" (Dancing Link?)

Doubtlessly the school drama aspect will be little more than the school-drama elements that were present in OoT (you could sketch out Link as the outcast who yet gets his childhood "love" interest in Saria with the rival/bully  Mido.

Does anybody else see hints of the aforementioned MHTri influence in the design of Skyloft, and the form/behavior of Link's bird? Remind me of the hub-town and of Qurupeco respectively.



Until you've played it, every game is a system seller!

Still not convinced
Of course it's a must buy, but I'm trolling it 'til launch.

PFFT, I liked it back when it was cool to hate on it and claim that it was the first Zelda game I wasn't going to buy on day 1,

Hmmm, this is pretty interesting. Just as I thought that they could not make this game any worse, they just did. Aonuma and his team have managed to turn the Legend of Zelda into an abomination of a game, it's almost a sick joke at this point.


The plot has turned into a high school drama. F***. How did this atrocity happen? The whole game is filled with puzzles, and even the combat is like a puzzle. F***. The items look like crap, with barely any combat use whatsoever ( except the bomb, that one and the bow are good ). They still put in the slingshot, which is essentially a weakened bow, so useless here. That evil magician looks horrible. They still suck up to Ocarina of time, which is getting annoying. And, UNLIKE majora's mask, you will HAVE to return to the shitty village and talk to the townspeople, and help them with their mundane tasks. F***.


At this point, I'm even surprised people are still calling this a Legend of Zelda game, when it quite clearly is NOTHING like what a Zelda game should be.


Best divest yourself of all involvement with the game now. Yes, go cancel your preorder (if you have one), erase the game from your mind, and let it trouble you no more. Then you won't have to worry about games that do or do not conform to what a Zelda game "should" be.

Never pre-ordered it, thank goodness for that. And as much as simply ignoring this game would be easy, why would I want to? I used to love the Zelda series. Had some of my best gaming moments with the older Zelda games, like the 1st two, or the handheld ones, but all the recent ones have been so meh. And you're just telling me that I should forget about it? Hell no. I want new Zelda games and great ones at that, but this just isn't happening.

Not sure if you're putting the quotation marks to be sarcastic, but what a Zelda game should be is an action-RPG, and not a series of puzzles linked by a crappy story. Or if you prefer, play the 1st game, and everything that's in it is what a Zelda game should be, and nearly everything else is unnecessary, and even detrimental to the games. Exception is if it stays true to being action-y or RPG-ish.

And it gets to me how some people lap this game up, even though it spits on the older Zelda games. But yeah, skipped out on spirit tracks, and it seems I'll be doing the same thing here. Unfortunately.

I couldn't have been laying it on thicker there, you are killing me.

I don't care what you think a Zelda game should be; nobody gets to dictate that.

You were missing out on the unspoken corollary, there. If you ignore the game, I don't have to have my eyes drawn to your self-entitled posts about how it's not what you want it to be. See? You pretend it doesn't exist, I get to pretend your opinion doesn't exist. It's the exact arrangement I have with fans of Other M. Everyone wins.
