The coolness is in another castle…
Dear lord. Have you all seen the 8meg Zelda movie? I feel seriously betrayed. I mean what the fuck? That old dark Zelda tech demo shown a year ago with Link and Ganon locking swords got *everyone* excited. It was one of those linchpins to making people believe that Nintendo isn’t a “kiddie” company anymore.
And now we get this shit. I mean, don’t get me wrong, it is incredibly technically impressive. Cel-shading is an awesome technology, albeit more fitting in a Mario game, in my opinion. It’ll probably be a badass game. But the humor of it just seems off. This is the videogame equivalent of Jar Jar. A slap in the face to fans who GREW UP with the series.
I’m also upset that Gamecube is delayed two weeks, and the one game that I desparately want (Smash Bros. Melee, with an awesome, traditional Link btw) is being pushed back til December. Plus, controllers are more expensive, and what the hell is up with Spicy Orange? I dunno, I’m getting disappointed. Goto IGN’s extensive Gamecube coverage and revel in the mixed feelings.

hrm. i mean, the gameplay looks good, but you’re right. the new.. er.. funky link is kinda jacked. i think its the lack of real face or anything more than simple, pen-drawn features. and the humor isn’t right also. but rememer the rolling guy and the giant with dust in his eyes? i mean, they’re along the same lines, aren’t they? i guess we’ll just have to see.
umm… was that a teaser or an actual gameplay preview? i’m so confused.
