New Zelda Wii Information Leaked?

By Nathanial Rumphol-Janc on January 20, 2010 12:46 PM | Permalink | 91 Comments
Thumbnail image for Zelda Wii ThumbnailZelda Wii is most likely the next installment in the series, and estimates say it should be out either this year or next. While Nintendo has done a great job at not leaking really anything concrete about the game itself... rumors are still rearing their head. Now, normally we wouldn't post about a rumor because most the time it's just that, however, there is some reason to believe the rumors we have inside. They come from a popular Japanese message board called 2ch, which is somewhat similar in style to our English based 4chan. What is interesting about rumors at this Japanese site is more often then not they turn out to be true. Not willing to believe that? Well lets look at what 2Ch has leaked over the years that turned out to be true.

First off, they were the first people to break the news and story for every single Kingdom Hearts game ever made, long before it was publicly released. They released all the news for Metal Gear Solid 4, Resident Evil 4 and 5, and pretty much every Square Enix RPG ever made. Interestingly enough, back in 2003, they also broke The Wind Waker's story roughly two months before release, and no, prerelease copies were apparently not out yet stateside. So the question needs to be asked: If the community there has been right so many times with rumors, then why can't they be right this time around?

  • The game will be vary from the dungeon field dungeon method we are accustomed too (nothing new, Eiji Aonuma confirmed that last year).
  • You will be able to select right or left handed at the start, and Link will be left or right handed based on your selection
  • The gameplay and basic mechanics are complete.
  • They are currently polishing up the story and Characters.
  • One of the characters they are working on is a innkeeper in Link's home village who has a son that looks up to Link.
  • The girl in the art is not the Master Sword, and it appears the Master Sword will not be in the game.
  • The girls name from the painting could possibly be Adelle, Adella, or Aderu.
  • She is not with you throughout the game like Ezlo and Midna.
  • The face in the painting of her is not her real face. It's not fully elaborated on much, but it does say that it was a place holder concept art piece.(assuming the entire art itself was just concept work)
  • Link's sword is highly unique in this game, and will have several unlockable abilities. Adelle (or whatever her final name becomes) communicates with you through this sword.
  • There will be horseback combat. Epona will avoid obstacles automatically.
  • The models for 3 significant characters in the game have been touched up, but no they are not Zelda or Ganondorf. (Google translate gives rough names of Link, Gorons, and Epona, but our translator said it's not specifically mentioned)
  • The idea of this version of Link also being The Hero of Time has been highly considered, and may already be implemented.
  • Time travel plays a role in the game.
  • The game takes place in more than just Hyrule, and may possibly not be Hyrule at all.


So there is a lot of stuff to digest there. Again, remember to always take this with a grain of salt, but the fact it comes from a place where so many other rumors turn out to be true does make you wonder. The Hero of Time's return could propose a sequel to Majora's Mask, meanwhile time travel returning makes since if it's the same character. Could also explain the statement last year from Nintendo that this is the oldest Link yet. The fact the game could also be more then Hyrule, or a new land all together, could play well into the follow up to Majora's Mask. If you recall, Link was on a journey to find a lost friend, presumably Navi, so who knows where that may have lead him.

One thing is for certain, Nintendo is definitely trying to give us something new by linking to something old. True or not, these rumors give us a lot to talk about, and most of them are highly probable in my mind. Thanks has to go out to, Chesu of GameFaqs for the translation of the rumors, and to 2ch themselves for providing this information for the fans.

Discuss at our forums here.

The confirmation of this post, by one of our translators, was found out to be false. I apologize if that confirmation provided any miss information, and I will be sure the team provides fully translated jap to english text for any future confirmations. Therefore, the only "official" translation is the one provided by Chesu at GameFaqs. It still doesn't really change the news posting much, just means that there is only one person who translated it.

Well, this is a nice surprise. The only surprising I see is the "Hero of Time" red flag. Other than that, it's what I would hope for- and expect.

Time travelling needs to make another appearance. It hasn't been seen since Oracle of Ages.

Thanks for the update. I'm looking forward to hearing more news.

talonmalon333 | January 20, 2010 1:41 PM

The possibility of this being true has increased a little for me, but I still have my doubts.

I would love to know what happened to the Hero of Time after Majora's Mask, I'm actually hoping it's true it's the same Link

/man child fan boy

Time Travel coming back is pretty cool, we haven't had it in awhile

I like the girl's name already :3

I just have to say that I'm chuffed as chips. These rumors may or may not be true, but regardless, they are EXACTLY what I've been looking forward to in Zelda Wii minus my speculation that the Sword Girl indicated some form of multiplayer.

If this stuff is actually true, Zelda Wii is going to be pretty amazing.

I'm kind of disappointed at the prospect of no Master Sword or horseback combat, but "unlockable abilities" for your sword would probably make up for that.

Taking it all with both a grain of salt and hope. *Shakes Wii-mote with left hand* 'Tis where my heart lies. Also, if it turns out to be the Hero of Time I'll be pretty happy: he's my favourite for some reason. (Not nostalgia: my first LoZ was TP).
And Epona avoiding obstacles automatically would mean combat is planned to be more complicated than before.

And-and-and I'll take this with plenty of salt.

I'm hoping to see more princess Zelda than what TP gave us (but not expecting an ST-like presence, that was a special gaming experience) however if it turns out to be a land other than Hyrule I'd understand her absence... ._.

maybe, MAYBE, the girl in the concept art isn't just a girl but....

an adult and " human " form of navi o_O

think about it, she won't be in the entire game, halfway trough you find her?
something like that never happened in the zelda franchise, would be cool

I Don't like much the idea of the Hero of Time return. I'm hopeful for something completely unrelated to the Ocarina of Time universe [because past these years almost everything refer to this game, and I think this is cutting down their creativity (I'm looking specially to you, Twilight Princess)].

Time traveling it's cool and all, but I want to see something totally new, not another plot related to time, the wind, or a dark world. Maybe different worlds to travel using the sword's power, but with a new theme, not darkness again.

Liked the name "Adella", btw. :P

well this definitly is a game worth looking forward to...except for the wii. why cant they put games on gamecube also? they do that with ps2, why not gc?

Just A Comment | January 20, 2010 2:53 PM

HERO OF TIME, YES!

Best Link ever!

(hope that part is true. epicness would abound)

I think these items have the ring of truth to them...with motion plus the choice of right or left handedness seems necessary, the tidbit about the character in the art having changed makes a lot of sense, and it all adds up to just the right amount of change based on what we have heard so far.

The first point, the field-dungeon-field formula being toyed with, seems to me the most important but least clear and most concerning. What is the deal? That formula is Zelda. So, please tell me what is going on? We should get a post just speculating on this...

It is wonderful that the whole game may not take place in Hyrule, I would love it if it started in Hyrule and then expanded to other lands.

Also, what could the additional abilities for the sword be? Will it shoot some sort of magic (LoZ, AL, LttP...)? Will it act as some sort of sensor; could it light up or shake or something as secrets get near? Will it work as some sort of key for time travel or communicating with fairies or something??

This is definitely a load of bullshit. As someone on Zelda Universe put it:

"The one thing that makes this sound fake:

Quote:
• The basic mechanics and gameplay elements are done, and they're currently working on the story, dungeons and developing characters.

Anyone with the least bit of insight of the gaming industry will know that Zelda Wii has come a lot further than that if they've been developing since 2006 and plan to release this year.

Also, "working on the story" should've been completed years ago (included in the design document i.e. before any actual production) unless they're doing minor tweaks.

Again, there's no way in hell that this is true unless development started in like 2009."

This is just another shot in the dark by Joe Shmoe like the Zelda deluge rumors.

This sounds painfully familiar...

"One of the characters they are working on is a innkeeper in Link's home village who has a son that looks up to Link."

Colin.

(:+(

Please, please, tell me they are being more original with other plot elements...

To "A" and others saying that this is obviously false, I don't think it is obvious (even if it is highly likely)...

This information would be received as a leak, it would not come from Miyamoto or Aonuma, but from one of the many scores of people working on the project...it could be some Nintendo programmer just working on textures or sound or animation or something, this person (like most of the people working on the project) might only have a limited view of the whole game and not know what other sub-teams on the overall Zelda team are working on.

This type of segmentation is typical in the entertainment industry to keep spoilers and such from leaking early.

shadowblaze66 | January 20, 2010 3:35 PM

Lol its funny how people say Ocarina of Time Link is their favorite Link. When really all the Links are exactly the same. Not as a person but for what they represent. Anyway this information could be true and if its is I'd be more than happy.

The girl in the pic with Link could be Preteen-teenage fairy on her way to adulthood. They haven't showed the evolution of the fairies in the zelda series or their significance or relation to the other races of the zelda universe. They've always been the most aloof. So the story could revolve around them and a new fairy queen in the making.

A, do you watch the developement of Zelda games much? They work on gameplay and game mechanics a lot before they delve too deep into the other stuff. Obviously some dungeons and the general gist of the story is done by now - I think what it implied is the gameplay mechanics itself is complete, while they are still working on the other stuff.

Well, the Hero of Time, Shadowblaze, represents time travel. OOT and MM featured it heavily. Using that same Link implies time travel.

It's pretty unique in that sense, I would say. While in general all links are the same, the HoT has that unique ability that I think only the one in ages also has.

shadowblaze66 | January 20, 2010 3:48 PM

@ Nathanial Rumphol-Janc , I see ur point. But if this game is a sequel to MM it would tie up that whole alternate time line path nicely. Or make it even worse by contradicting TP...

I like the idea that this is the Hero of Time, continuing his quest for Navi, several years down the line.

Ummmmmmn, no. The "Hero of Time" Link is not the only one to time travel...


Please correct me if I am wrong, but was there not time travel in TP? Travelling back through the portal to the Temple of Time?

There was no time travel in twilight princess.

The game will be vary from the dungeon field dungeon method we are accustomed too (nothing new, Eiji Aonuma confirmed that last year).

I don't understand this. Will it be the same pattern or different?

Link to this supposed 2ch topic, or it didn't happen.

Inside...I giggle with excitement....literally

This is not new, actually a couple of months old. Also, the guy over at IGN claims that he has discovered and translated the info by himself, but he just copied a topic from GameFAQs, which is more than a month old:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=960633&topic=52658299

OMFG time travelling AGAIN? NO WAY! I dont wana the hero of time back, i wanna something new with new history <.<

@Nate: Actually, there was timetravel in TP. You go through a portal to the ToT to back before it was ruined and the Dominion Rod was at its original strength, then you come back through and the Temple's back ruined again and the Dominion Rod is useless through centuries of decomposition.

It's minor, but it's there.

@ TurianTourist

Yeah I am aware of the old link, but I was waiting pretty much on our translators to get back to me for confirmation.

As for a link the exact post at 2chan - the post was made in november, so it's no longer visible. They only go back 9 pages, which if you check today, only takes you back to the 18th of this month.

So, the post is no longer available. It is only preserved through my email, and the few forums that got it up. That guy at IGN is pretty wack though for taking claim. At least I had a translator GO OVER IT first, he just blatently copy pasted. If I was not lazy I would change the credit information.

SMALLVILLE BOY | January 20, 2010 5:56 PM

Interesting ifo but we need to wait to official info.

would like to see a non - temple zelda. because temples is the thing a i like the most in zelda, so if they take it away and make something I like, then I will be amazed.

Do whetever you want, Aounuma. IN YOU WE TRUST.

@River Zora

Thanks for backing me up on the time travel in TP. I thought it was a pretty cool touch (for an otherwise boring temple).

@Nate Rumphol-Janc

Sorry to be aggressive on this, but, seriously, don't you run this sight??? Shouldn't know that there was time travel in the most recent console title?

It's not exactly ancient history, except in Hyrule of course ;)...

Maybe if this sight spent less time obsessing over the mediocre Majora's Mask you would remember most recent game.

So, can we all not agree that the "Hero of Time" Link is not the only time traveler?

There's no reason to believe any of this. 2chan is Japanese 4chan. Nothing more, nothing less.

If it came from 2ch, and not 2chan, and with a source, I might believe it.

Needless to say, I'm pumped.

who's ready for another split timeline??

I knew that the girl wasnt the master sword........ people didn't believe me though...

@ Jupiter - Because time travel was not prominent in TP, it did slip my mind. It was relevant in the game for all of 30 seconds. I also never said Hero of Time Link was the only time traveler. I believe he also did it in Oracle of Ages.

And just an fyi, it's "site", not "sight". You know, website, site...etc.

Yes, I do own the site and run it primarily, however, while this site has a reputation of liking majora's mask it should be noted that we are not biased towards that game. In fact, I do a lot of the article and news writing around here, and it was me, yes me, last year that stated Twilight Princess may be the best zelda ever:

http://www.zeldainformer.com/2009/09/twilight-princess-is-the-best.php

Yes, the time travel in TP slipped my mind, can you forgive me? I play a lot of Zelda games, so sometimes it's hard to remember every tiny detail.

I'm definitely taking this with a grain of salt. Still, its nice to hear some information on the matter about Zelda Wii, even if its technically old. Ties us over for the rest of the day until tomorrow when we want more again xD

@Nathan Rumphol-Janc

First, thanks for pointing out my egregious malapropism. Woooops! I do that often actually, maybe more often THAN you...I am (to add a third homophone to "sight" and "site") citing your repeated misuse of "then" in your original article.

Second, forgiveness is free. You have it. I enjoy your site and all the Zelda fodder we get from you, so I'm not forgetting that as I challenge you.

Still, it does not erase my surprise that the owner of a popular Zelda fansite peremptorily declared "There was no time travel in twilight princess." in response to my verifiably correct statement that there was.

No, it was not central to the game at all, but it certainly added to the atmosphere and mystique of that particular temple...it also fit into the whole plot around the Hyrulian historian character and his research into and Link's retrieval of the Dominion Rod.

What's more, as a casual Zelda enthusiast, when I saw the time travel part in TP I immediately thought, "Wow, Nintendo is really going out of their way to include some sort of "time" element in this game".

Arguably "time", if not time travel per se, has been an element of Zelda games ever since ALttP. "Time" is an element in WW too, sort of. When you travel to the bottom of the ocean in a way you are traveling back in time...indeed time is frozen when you enter the castle, right?

I think your, and other commenter's focus on the uniqueness of the "Hero of Time" Link is misplaced, and I really want to challenge that strongly. It seems to me that for a long time certain elements are simply thematic to the series, not any particular Zelda timeline. Time, music, magic, light world/dark world...all these elements (and others you may notice) are really just themes to the series in general.

Whoa. That's a ton of stuff. Here's hoping it's true, I've been waiting to see the return of the Hero of Time for a while now!

Link's Uncle | January 21, 2010 12:25 AM

All of that stuff could easily be in the new Zelda, and doesn't sound too different than usual IMO, but I won't mind either way

I'd love to see the Hero of Time come back, especially if the link it directly to Majoras Mask. That would mean, for the first time in the whole Zelda history, a very solid story about the main character you are playying as, and the nostalgia factor wouls be awesome.

But I ABSOLUTELY do NOT want time travel. I'm so tired about such thing. I don´t care what they'd want to add, anything, just not time travel.

Dinosaur Rex | January 21, 2010 12:50 AM

@Jupiter

Stop doing that, you better be different IRL or you'll get a lot of punches in the face.
- - - -

That "girl" is not the Master sword or even related to it? C'mon, the color is the same, the design is the same, even her hat has a sword like tip.

Just look at it everything screams master sword.

@Dinosaur Rex

Stop doing what? Making a point and discussing the Zelda series? I have posted more than my fair share of times on this comment thread so apologies for that...

I'm happy to be pretty much the same IRL, and nobody has landed a punch to date.

Perry Radica | January 21, 2010 3:27 AM

I wouldn't even take this as a grain of salt, so many TP rumours similar to this never came true. They came in similar format of a few dot points and majority of them were fake.

Also looking at this point more carefully: "The models for 3 significant characters in the game have been touched up, but no they are not Zelda or Ganondorf. (Google translate gives rough names of Link, Gorons, and Epona, but our translator said it's not specifically mentioned)"

This kind of implies that they are using the same engine as TP (For example OoT and MM run on the same / very similar engine). However I could be wrong and this could just be referring to the art style but I would hate to see this game rip its graphics from TP.

@A I don't know where you pulled that dot point from, it is not listed above. However it seems to be an altered version of this: "They are currently polishing up the story and Characters." This implies that they are not just working on the story now, they are polishing it up.

I don't think the hero of time will be in this one because I read an article and it said that TP was a starting point for new zelda. Besides I woudnt want the hero of time again I liked it the way they left it, they made a new link(TP) they should just use him and I think they already are.

If you look at the concept art you'll see that the link there looks exactly like the link from TP. Oh and one thing I would like to see in this Zelda is being able to fly, like on a bird or something. I'm kind of getting bored of epona

Great article! I really enjoyed reading this and it looks as though this game will be different than anything we've ever played. It was interesting to read that the girl in the concept art is not the Master Sword. I can't wait to actually play the game, and I'm very interested about the sword.

ZUZU: actually, Twilight Princess is the starting point in terms of what should be improved gameplay-wise. Nothing related to the story. It was also confirmed that the game isn't connected to twilight princess in time.

But i can't feel excited with this news. Making Link the Hero of Time give story developers less liberty in story-making. Also, the overworld would have the same problem most people had with TP's one: It can be too similar to OOT's one. Even if the game is in Termina, it would have the same problem, but the overworld would be more similar to MM's one.

Other thing is time travel. Sure it's cool, but it isn't creative.

Also, since when Gorons and Epona are significant characters. Sure, there can be a more important Goron character like Darunia or Darmani, but they gave the idea of the normal goron. Also, Epona is just a transportation mode. Sure it has some story, but it never was significant to the main one.

In your last bullet point you used the word "then" incorrectly. You should have used "than" because you were comparing two things. "Then" would have been correct if you were describing an order of events, e.g. "First Link will do some time-traveling, THEN he will sing an Irish drinking song." Also, in your second-to-last bullet point, you used the word "roll". From the context, it seems you meant to say "role". I do not find it likely that time travel will be shooting any dice, though I admit that I could be mistaken.

/lolkthxbai

TriforceAngel | January 21, 2010 7:28 PM

If this is the return of "The Hero of Time" and a sequel to MM This would fill in the gap between MM and TP. I.E where the Light Sprit got the green tuinc for Tp Link.(Note: Im not saying that Tp is deffently after MM, or there being in the Hero of time/Child time line or just the hero of time time line at all.) All Im saying is it would fill the gap and we all would get a fix in are timelines. (or like me series Time lines)

But didn't Aonuma state he read some of the rumors, and they were right? As far as I know, the only rumor widely known about the game is that the girl is the Master Sword. I don't believe she's not.

There were also rumors about her being a fairy.

And just being connected to a sword in general would be enough to warrant Aonuma's words.

These rumors also were back in november, before he stated that. The first bullet point on the list was called before it was actually confirmed.


So, who knows?

One thing I find interesting is that everyone seems obsessed with "Linking" all the zelda games together. Why must it be related to bla bla bla zelda title? It's kind of annoying when the most common arguments regarding zelda games stem from people trying so desperately to connect them all to each other, not realizing that the more they do so, the less the games make sense. I've always considered each game as taking place in a separate "universe" where they realistically have nothing to do with each other, just like each of the Final Fantasy games. There are correlations, but no real "same world" connections. Yes I've read just about every article in regards to a "timeline" but it just doesn't fit the series. let each new adventure be a new adventure and there will be a lot more fun and a lot less headaches.

I don't want it to be the hero of time because then it will just be another OoT or MM. When aonuma said that there was going to be Changes in the game I thought he meant that he was going to make it different, rather than the same compared to other Zelda titles.

I played OoT, MM, TP and They were all awsome games but I don't think anyone would want a repeat of the same story which is quite similar to marios story. Princess is kidnapped(peach and Zelda) by the same person(ganandorf and bowser) and the next part is obvious.

The game needs to be more challenging and have more puzzles, ganandorf was one of the easiest bosses but majoras mask is what I call challenging. the whole game including majora was a real challenge.

I love Zelda games and I like all of them I play but I think it does need a bit of changing. I know i'm complaining too much but think o it this way, imagine geting the same gift from the same person over and over again.

talonmalon333 | January 22, 2010 1:49 PM

"Im not saying that Tp is deffently after MM,"

You should be, because we know for a fact that MM > TP. It's not even up to debate.

TriforceAngel | January 22, 2010 4:21 PM

@JDawg yah thats what I think the real Timeline is I dont belive all the games connect just some like ww,ph, and St.

@Talonmalon333 see there no real time line so we cant say where it is in it I have a different Universe time line theory and what I have conculted is It Takes place in the Lttp Universe before lttp or after MM in the Child oot time line well if its not in oots time line it doesn't split at all. but yah theres no real timeline or even a real placement that this game could be just theory.(+only said that so ppl don't flip out at me for putting it there.)

....Wha? Your "translator" says that the touched-up models may be Link, Epona and Gorons? That's interesting, because as far as I know only a few hundred people saw the original 2chan post.... and I was probably the only person who saved the information in it, posting it (translated) a month later on GameFAQs.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=960633&topic=52658299

OMG ZELDAINFORMER STOLE MY HOUSE DEED!

Chesu, I have emailed you, and I apologized for how things were handled. I actually thank you for pointing this out, and the matter will be dealt with internally.

talonmalon333 | January 23, 2010 11:35 AM

"but yah theres no real timeline"

Do I even have to tell you how wrong this is?

TriforceAngel | January 23, 2010 10:02 PM

ok go a head prove me wrong i know theres like the oot/ mm and ww/ph/st thingy thos games are a "Timeline" because it has statements in each game connecting them,but i meant was theirs no official release stating that all the games connect to each other.

talonmalon333@gmail.com | January 24, 2010 12:19 AM

Shigeru Miyamoto: "For every Zelda game we tell a new story, but we actually have an enormous document that explains how the game relates to the others, and bind them together. But to be honest, they are not that important to us. We care more about developing the game system... give the player new challenges for every chapter that is born."

The confirmed time line so far is...

OoT > MM > TP
V
TWW
V
PH
V
ST

Although if I'm going to be honest, I kind of feel like those should be the only canon games, with the Four Swords games being their own universe, and the rest being non canon.

talonmalon333 | January 24, 2010 12:20 AM

LOL. I messed up and added "@gmail.com" to my name in the above post.

The part with the innkeeper is kind of interesting imo, because most of the prologue villages in Zelda games are too small and too far away to even have an inn. In OoT, WW & TP you start at the very end of map, so maybe here we'll start in the middle of map in a bigger village like in MM.
Also the sword thing seems preferable to me, not having the Master Sword in the game could mean no Ganon at all.
I'd like to have a new villian (just like in MM)
But I don't wanna have any kind of (or nearly none) nostalgia feeling, TP was full of that feeling and now I want everything fresh and new!

The sword with unlockable abilities seems like a good idea, it puts the sword in the middle of attention and adds an element of RPGs to the franchise (Miyamoto said, that he'd like to have some of those elements implemented)
Imagine that you swing your sword in a circular motion to shoot a ball of fire to solve a puzzle or something like that.

TriforceAngel | January 24, 2010 10:22 AM

as i said on the last comment i believe in that part bing a time line but i dont totally believe tp belongs beside mm it would make more sense if it was b4 Lttp in its own universe. also your in titled to your own opinion everyone is. and even if ww > Tp was true zelda wii could screw things up making it mm>wii>TP which im hoping to dose then it fill a gap in my timeline. also he has gotten things wrong many times b4.(also this is exsacly what I was trying to prevent when I sad "I'm not sayong it belongs there in the timeline.)

talonmalon333 | January 24, 2010 12:13 PM

"also your in titled to your own opinion everyone is."

*Sigh.* Do you not understand?

Yes. People are entitled to their own opinions. But the creators have said for a FACT about Twilight Princess' placement. It's NOT an opinion. And if you say otherwise, then you are wrong.

Do you need anymore creator quotes? Otherwise I have nothing more to say here.

i want to see some new masks if it is sequel to MM

TriforceAngel | January 25, 2010 11:09 AM

hey i believe you don't worry that why im confused to where to place it in my time line but as i said he has had some facts wrong before. Link Lttp is after adventure of Link.

Dont try to fight me on this kid

talonmalon333 | January 25, 2010 1:52 PM

LOL. Are you trying to threaten me? I think you've worn out your welcome. Not only that, but I can hardly understand half of the stuff you said.

But anyway, you can remain ignorant to the facts if you want. I'm done here, unless you post something worthwhile.

PS: No, it's not confirmed that LttP is after AoL. In fact it's most likely the opposite.

i dont care what is on the new game i am just giggling like a school girl over a new game long over due in my eyes

There is nothing I'd like more than pulling out my old eye of truth and checking how much of those rumors are true!
I hope they are, I like them ALL, speciallllyy hero of time link, but I really hope there is a master sword :(

1 more thing I didn't like was the child looking up 2 link... I mean wth i hate those peaceful boring origins where link is so kind to the boy that admires him....crap
I hated the beginning of TP it was just like that, hope they don't repeat that

these rumours aren't true well the only part I know which isn't true is that the hero of time isn't in it.
Before these rumours were spread, the person who told them should have done they're research to find out that the master sword plays an important part of time travel. If there is no master sword there is no time travel.

The hero of time can still be in the game but it would be pointless because without using him in time travel is stupid. So there's my point of view, no master sword=no time travel, which takes that rumour out of the picture. No time travel=no hero of time(50/50 chance).

That is just my side of the argument thy might be true. Then again aonuma confirmed that some of the rumours were true but these rumours came out after he confirmed some rumours.

Trust me I agree with you on whatever we where fighting on in the first place...Oh yah TP placement, yah agree. But im just tring to say is that some people might no believe that and the reason i said "Not saying..." was so this thing doesn't happen. I guess if im gonna comment it im still gonna get jerks like you who are gonna argue about anything i post.

@TRIFORCE ANGEL

I wasn't arguing against you and im sorry if I made you think I was. I was trying to convince the people that beleived this rumour that this has a more likely chance of not happening than it does of actually being true.

After all nintendo haven't made any confirmed statements about the latest rumours. I don't think they will so that way it has a lot of people thinking it's true and then at E3 we are all in for a big surprise.

Oops my mistake. You were talking to talonmalon333.
Sorry

@ Zuzu: Majora's Mask has time travel and as far as I remember, the Master Sword isn't even mentioned in it.

No longer @Zuzu:

As for those bullet points up there...well, I'd like for the handedness thing to be true, being left-handed myself.
I don't much like the idea of changing the routine of progression because that's what I recognise the Zelda series to be all about.

Not too bothered about the Master Sword, but personally I'd like Ganon to be in it in some form, even if it's as small as his appearance in the Oracle games. To me, there are two things that make up the Zelda series: the field-dungeon-field routine, and the Triforce (including the classic bearers of each piece, Link, Zelda and Ganon).

@Murdok

hmmm u guess you're right but but I was referring to where referring to Ocarina if Time wher you travel to the future snd the past in which you need the ocarina and master sword. In majoras mask you only travel 3 days back before the carnival of time.

is it saying that with the hero of time thingy that it will be sorta like the ocarina of time....the only game i havent beaten and why no master sword....that sword makes the games....

Ok, there are few inconsistancies.

One) TP link did in fact time travel but he was placed there. he did not control the flow of time.

two) WW link was placed into hyrule while time was frozen. he did not control the flow of time

three) LttP link had the mirror. that is the closest thing to a non-hero of time hero to controlling time.

four) THE Hero of Time had the OCARINA of time in which he used to CONTROL the flow of time which is moreso TIME TRAVEL not TIME PLACEMENT. MM had the most control with the ocarina being the "ship" he used to sail through the three days. so saying this OoT had more time placement and the Hero utilized the 7 year slumber, but in MM he used the ocarinas power to sail through time. (real time travel) for actual time travel you need something that can manipulate time. OoT, MM, Ages, and LttP were the only one i can remember that had time manipulation. If this game has time travel i can assure you that they will not contradict the Zelda stories by giving a non-hero of time time travel capabilities unless the ocarina itself was involved.

Ocarina of Time Had Time Travel nabs

all right Ocarina of Time.......2!!!!!

I hope they have zora. I also hope they have ocarinas again. It would also be good if they found a way to like Termina to Hyrule. It seemed like link got owned by skull kid in Hyrule then fell down a hole and found a new world. Almost an Alice in wonderland type of thing. It would be good if the storyline revolved around faries.

I say they should continue from TP. The graphics in MM were young-audience based and I really want a more gamer based setting.

Don't get me wrong, MM may have been a good game, but I say TP blows it out of the water. ALTTP was my favorite game until TP came out.

Im not a fan of any of the other ones because they all have someone named "Link" and little or no connection to each other. I want a continued storyline from a newer Zelda game that way we all can understand the timelines better.

Im still trying to figure out what happened with the "Split-timeline" =P

BTW: There was time travel in TP when Link went to the temple of time.

TP was by far the best so far

Things that make a good game:
1st-or-3rd person view.
Free roam.
not turn-based(mostly)

all zelda games have this, but: TP has:

better graphics,
Useful 'friend' (Midna)
as much or more dungeon variety
no wallmasters

Am I the only one who thinks that aside from 2-3 infos, these "leaks" are stuff that you take for granted anyway?

Like the dungeon system, the fact that gameplay is done or that you'll be able to choose hand at the start?

GMFQS_Will_2010 | February 19, 2010 3:04 PM

New rumor just circulated today at my 'job':
The new game will come with an 'Ocarina' controller, basically a sort of mix of the Wii Speak and a Wiimote at the same time, to use when playing songs to travel through time. Additional rumor is that it will somehow utilize the Gamecube controller ports for the Ocarina. It won't be a normal microphone, but will contain wind-motion receptive technology ala some of the DS games.

well if the game is a continuation of MM, maaybe the girl is navi???

LinkIsBeast | March 5, 2010 5:41 PM

I dont really care about the gameplay. It has always been good and always will be. Tweaking it a little is fine but changing a lot would be ruining it. I just wanna know about the storyline and if the master sword is in the game. The master sword is the best one. And the classic.

Ocarina of time II would be sOooooOOo AWESOME!!

kanelives | March 8, 2010 4:42 AM

I haven't played any other games except TP, but I think it would be totally awesome if you could play different characters other than link for portions of the game, because we only ever see things from his perspective. also, i wish they would do a TP sequel, it was such a cool game.
