Forums - Nintendo - GameFaqs Zelda U rumour from 2 years ago:Seems partially...legit?

A lot of spot on stuff!



Around the Network

That's not a bad guess actually! But whether or not it's more than just a guess...difficult to tell really. Will be interesting to see, I hope that the sidequests and the dark tones are true!



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Some of those points were spot on, and others could have been correct 2 years ago. Don't know what to think of this...



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Zelda was shown 2 years ago and Aonuma did give details that it would be a massive open world game then.

So no, there's nothing all that hugely stunning about what this kid predicted, maybe the climbing part, but even that you could look at the trailer they showed two years ago and deduce that you'd have to climb to some areas.

This was before it was shown judging from the responses to the person.  Do you remember specifically just what Aonuma said before the first trailer was out?

The first Zelda trailer was shown at E3 correct or before March?  Earliest trailer I found of the revealing of Zelda was June 10 2014, where Aonuma snapped his fingers and revealed it.  Before that sparse info was given out.

So that's what, 3 months before the first reveal trailer? I'll look up more info on it.

Yeah I can't find much info, I did find Aonuma saying this in 2013 though,

"So, by no means, am I tired of it. Rather, the more we change it, the more I get fired up. Having someone think ‘Huh? Is this Zelda?!’ at first, then ‘Oh, it is Zelda,’ is what we’re going for. Something that wouldn’t make it matter whether Link or Princess Zelda appear in it or not. Something where it wouldn’t even matter if Zelda is actually a princess, or not."

Other than that it was mostly how WWHD was influencing the new Zelda and how it was a testing ground, how they've created a Zelda 'super team' and them breaking with tradition, never any specifics or hints to what that could entail. He was very evasive and had the 'wait till E3' thing going.

He also said;

"For example, we have Zelda, it's the Legend of Zelda, but it's not necessarily Princess Zelda."

For some reason I think Zelda in this wont actually be Zelda, these are two seperate interviews btw.

There's this other rumour from WIi U Daily stating that the game will be the biggest, most expensive and ambitious Nintendo game to date and nintendo itself confirmed that anyway. That it also used havok physics(seems like it) and some online stuff ala Dark Souls dungeon hints stuff.

Sounds pretty good, although some things are just wishful thinking or hopes (story and character details that early in development?).


I believe the MM mask system could have evolved to the clothing, armor, and tunic system (which is beautiful, btw).



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Reminds me of when Troy Baker was posting on gamefaqs but mods banned him because they thought he was trolling.

Two years ago would be prior to the original announcement as Zelda U, wouldnt it?

Don't know the exact date of this thread, but yeah I think so - as in before the first official trailer).

If you hover over the '2 years ago' bit it says February 23th, which puts it WAY before E3.

Crazy stuff.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

You can't discard that one of the very first things they could have conceived was the concept of Ganon's spirit surrounding Hyrule Castle, it's not hard to guess. 



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.
