The Wind Waker was developed by the same team that is developing Zelda HD, so yes, it delayed the development.

A Link Between World is a recycled ALTTP. What new areas? Overworld is basically the same. Dungeons? Same ideas: Fire, Ice, Darkness. Story? Basically the same as ALTTP (dual world).

And Tingle's games are spinoffs, Link's Crossbow Training, etc. In the end those are just spinoffs.

I have the three remakes, MM3D the worst. It doesn't change the fact that those games are not original.

And I talked for the fans that wants new content, you clearly don't. So I don't get why did you quote my comment.

as far as i know wwhd takes almost no real development time scince the game was already a finished game (just a remake). There were just a few people who left the zelda u team to develop wwhd (which has only a few changes compared to ww). 

All the programming work is done anyway by external studios. Nintendo dont programm their games, they just develop.


Good. So basically they were not involved in OoT3D, MM3D, TWWHD and HW. All the time it has been only Zelda HD.

I don't think Zelda U will be pushed all the way to November 2016. Even though Zelda games have been releasing then, I can't see them pushing it back 1 full year regardless of what changes they have to make.

I'm hoping for May 2016, since the least 2 years we've had 2 big games (Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon) in that month. They'll need a title to come out then, so I'm really hoping that the title is going to be Zelda U.


skyward sword was pushed back 1 full year 


Shhhh, we don't say those sort of things around here!

Zelda is my favourite franchise.
I was more than happy to get a remake of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask (they both needed the visual update, N64 has not aged that well).

The Wind Waker HD was the only one that caught me off guard, because at the time I was waiting for a Majora's Mask remake announcement. However, as it turns out, this was a good remake/remaster, and it did not cause any delays with Zelda U. So this was a good thing to tide 'fans' over.

 

A Link Between Worlds was a sequel to A Link to the Past, so what? It still featured new content, areas, game mechanics, story and characters. 

Hyrule Warriors, the spinoff title was actually a lot of fun and contains a lot of content and fanservice. It is by no means as good as a genuine Zelda game, but it was still good fun nonetheless. 

So while there has been remakes (with new content added in), a sequel and a spinoff, they have had new content. What you want is the next 3D installment, because evidentally, there is new Zelda content, it just does not interest YOU.



There are those that like the more 'realistic' Zelda games (Twilight Princess). There are those that dislike the 'realistic' Zelda games.
There are those that like the 'toon' Zelda games (Wind Waker). Those are those that dislike the 'toon' Zelda games.

Add fans like myself into the mix that like all the Zelda games and you have a mixed fanbase.

Stop speaking on behalf of the entire Zelda fanbase, because myself and as well as others I know have enjoyed these games. I am aware that not everyone wants these games, but as far as Zelda goes, there is always a division between the Zelda fanbase.

Why did you bring up the Tingle DS games that came out years before the 3DS and Wii U? The same with Link's Crossbow training. This has nothing to do with the timeframe since the Wii U's inception to Zelda U. It is grasping at straws to make a point, a really flawed one at that. 

MM3D is the worst remake in YOUR opinion. Again stop claiming that things are such. You do not even state reasons, you just blatantly try to state them as facts. All the remakes contain new content in the end, not just enhanced graphics. Plus both Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask 3D were developed by Grezzo, thus taking the work load off Nintendo's hands so they can work on original Zelda titles.

 

I am beginning to think you have not even played A Link Between Worlds (or at least completed it) if you are implying that it is merely a replica of A Link to the Past.

New characters, new game mechanics (practically every item is upgradable, streetpass battles, wall merging mechanic), and yes new locations. Death Mountain has an excellent new interior; Zora's Domain and the temples are new. Even the random caves you stumble upon have new interiors. 

Lorule has an actual town to speak of, not really something you could say of A Link to the Past's darkworld. I am not denying that the games are similar, but they are different. Your argument for dual world making it the same is silly. Ocarina of Time is the same because it features dual worlds (present-future), Twilight Princess too (Normal-Twilight). Same dungeon ideas too, forest, fire and water. 

Ideas can be similar yet different. If you are expecting Zelda U to be completely different to every Zelda game, you are going to be extremely disappointed.



The king TBone was right. As the usual. :D



No, we won't.

Nope, and I'm alright with that. I'm not sure I'm in the mood for another remake, though if they were desperate they could always port over Twilight Princess & Skyward Sword to the Wii U eShop.

The Tingles DS games and LCT are spinoffs in the same vein as Hyrule Warriors, that was the point. Thus, doesn't count.

Secondly, MM3D is the worst because they ruined boss battles, Zora Link swimming and there's no new content aside of one sidequest and the fishing ponds. Ocarina of Time doesn't have any new content as Master Quest was released even before the og The Wind Waker.

And finally, I have completed 100% ALBW like 6 or 7 times since release, on normal and hero mode. Still, copy paste. Dungeons are the same, overworld is the same. Caves are almost the same. Zora's Domain exists in ALTTP as it is the location where you have to buy the Zora flippers. In fact, you are the one who hasn't played both games.

*Face palm*

Ocarina of Time 3D's Masterquest is different to the original. It is mirrored and the enemies do double the damage.
Also Ocarina of Time 3D has Boss Rush Mode.

MM3D's new quest provided another item, there is two new areas (the fishing ponds) that contain 20 different collectibles that are by no means easy to get them all. The revamped Twinmold and Gyorg battles were leages better than the origin, whereas the other two are debatable.

No the tingle games do not count because everyone was discussing new Zelda games since 2011, including you. You are grasping at strwas, especially seeing as the Tingle games were not even released worldwide, they did not receive the same treatment or content as Hyrule Warriors whatsoever. The only comparison to be made is that they are spinoffs. The gameplay, inception, and content are completely different.

A Link to the Past does have Zora's River, however the domain is generic. It just looks like any other cave. A Link Between Worlds has a domain with other talking Zoras. Lorule has an actual town, as you seem to keep ignoring no matter how many times I point that out to you. Where is the pyramid in A Link Between Worlds? I would really like to know. Where is Ravio and Hilda in A Link to the Past (two major characters)? The Tornado and Sand rods, are they in A Link to the Past? Could you upgrade your rods and even your lamp (I have always found the upgradable lamp amusing) in A Link to the Past?

I could go on and on with this list, but it is evident that this is proving futile. 

Like I said in my previous post:

"Lorule has an actual town to speak of, not really something you could say of A Link to the Past's darkworld. I am not denying that the games are similar, but they are different. Your argument for the dual world making it the same is silly. Ocarina of Time is the same because it features dual worlds (present-future), Twilight Princess too (Normal-Twilight).

Not necessarily a game, but maybe another campaign mode and extra DLC for Hyrule Warriors.
