OMG IT'S ZELDA ON THE DS LIEK AWESOME!!shift111111

Really though, this game looks nice. The graphics, the camera view...It's blending 3-D with the old drop-down view of the 2-D games. Plus, look at all that touch screen stuff.

Since it's just been announced, I'm naming this the "preview" thread. Who knows how long it'll take to come out, but either way, I'll be waiting.

Wow, I'm not even a Zelda fan and even I think that looks awesome. I might get it. I like the Boomerang system and the writing on the map. Clever.

[Cutter]

I know. Mark the map with things you see. An enemy? Draw a frowny face and watch out for him. A solution to a puzzle?

Damn, how clever. I hope that they add a wi-fi Four Sword mode, that'd be so cool...(And why not voice chat? They already figured out how with MP:H)

[Kyle20]

Yeah, or even if it HAS TO be local, I want some Co-Op or something. Then again, I'd prefer Wi-Fi. When will developers learn. Just keep making Wi-Fi games! They'll make you alotta money! The most famous DS games are Wi-Fi!

(Draw a frowny face? No...just...no. Don't be so stupid, Cutter...)

[Cutter]

It was just an example. No need to get angry at me.

I'm sure that they'll include multiplayer. Look at the success of Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, Metroid Prime Hunters... What kind of multiplayer? I have no idea. But it should be like Four Swords, because that's a lot of fun to do. (But co-op would be really awesome as well. In fact, I'd rather have that than battle mode. Oh, and voice chat would be essential for co-op(or at least a little keyboard).)

Saw it in action on Youtube,looks fun only thing that gets me is that control seems to be dictated by moving the fairy around,I`ve yet to snag a DS or get used to the touch screen interface,so I`m wondering how long the controls will take before being committed to muscle memory..either way it definately looks fun and another Zelda that looks like a direct sequel,making every Zelda so far have a companion game to it.

You a Zelda fan, Corvus?

Not angry. Just alittle freaked out.

Co-Op would be best. And it should have voice-chat, not keyboard. You see, more fast pace, constant action games, you need voicec chat. You can't start typing in the middle of Zelda or Metroid Prime. You can in ACWW because it is a social stimulation. Sadly, they probably would of annouced if it was Wi-Fi when the game was annouced.

[Cutter]

Hey, Hunters wasn't going to have wifi when it was in developement, but somewhere along the way, they realized how good it'd be.

Speaking of which, this game has totally eliminated my interest in Twilight Princess. Simply because, I think this game looks better. TP has lost it's shine. Anyone else think so?

[Corvus]

Yup played every title apart from the CDi ones simply because they aren`t games heh,TP has hardly lost its shine,I just wish some reliable info would come out on what its being released for,definately can`t wait for that title,looks absolutely gorgeous and retains the darker atmosphere of the N64 titles,not sure on the whole transforming thing but then I had my doubts on the masks of Majoras Mask,heh rarely a time when I`m not in Deku form.

[Kyle20]

Well, I never planned to get TP (and I still don't) so I wouldn't be able to say. I'd rent it if it weren't for the fact that people are going to rent it so much, it'll be hard to find it. I liked Orcarina, so this should be good.
