Why is Link on a train?

[rock_nog]

Except when you sail off too far Mr. Kingly Red Lion Guy forces you to turn around. Obviously the new land is beyond that point.

Thank you! The whole point of Wind Waker was "Look morons, there's more to this world than this damned underwater continent you're so damned obsessed with reviving - move on, leave the Great Sea, find something more worthwhile than this shit."

You know, there is actually some big potential in this. Let's just hope Nintendo doesn't blow it.

And, like Amaster said, at least there will be scenery instead of just endless ocean.

Oh, and the train's obviously the Queen of Hyrule.

Grass, Trees, Rocks. That's basically the equivalent of Ocean, Waves, Barrels.

[Nicholas Steel]

Ah but with ground you can have walls, changing elevation much more exciting enemy encounters etc.

The train is also the King of Hyrule.

I loled.

My understanding is that this is supposed to be a direct sequel to Phantom Hourglass, which rules out the idea of it being pre-Wind Waker. And besides, if it were a prequel to Wind Waker, it'd have to also be a prequel to Ocarina of Time, given that it's highly implied that Wind Waker is the next game after Ocarina. But really, that just gets into a whole "Zelda timeline" discussion that I frankly don't even want to touch because it's so confusing.

Here's my take on it. Okay, I didn't play Phantom Hourglass, but I remember at the end of Wind Waker, weren't Link and Tetra supposed to go and seek out a new home? Maybe they found a new continent to live on.

Can't be the same Link, or he'd be wearing his green garb...unless the game is going to be retarded.

The pre-Wind Waker theory could hold some merit though...There is no official information that says this is a direct sequel. Maybe Hyrule finally advanced in its technology and then was flooded, ultimately causing their technology to start over.

Doubt it, but just saying it's plausible.


I hate typical Zelda fans. They are the absolute worst.

"Every game is the same."

"Every Zelda should be just like OoT."

"We need something new."

"O EM GEE SOMETHING NEW??! WTF you got your train in my Zelda!"

I will be reserving judgment until I play it, which according to my current back library of titles that I need to play, should probably be in 2020.

[Aegix Drakan]

...wat?


...Ok, whatever. Gameplay looks decent, since Phantom hourglass was decent, and not much seems to have changed in that respect. I'll reserve judgement on the whole train aspect, though. ...but I DO need to lodge a complaint with that conductor's outfit. It just doesn't suit Link.

I just wish they'd build on the whole "clock-punk" kind of vibe they started (clock town, the Spinner, etc). I'd love to see a more technologically advanced Hyrule, where everything is powered by gears and stuff. THAT would be pretty damn cool.


And I don't think we need to Worry about Zelda going th emegaman route just yet. But you can sound the alarm when in a future time, an ordinary kid picks up a green "link" hat, and becomes Link whenever he puts it on.

...Have you played Wind Waker?

[MasterSwordUltima]

...Have you played Wind Waker?

Yeah, that's basically what happened in that. That Link wore the green outfit because of tradition, not because he wanted to or whatever. And when he put that on, the MasterSword was like "hay thar".

Anyone wanna tell me why the FUCK we can't run through these fields, or maybe ride a horse? Maybe because it has been done twice before, but people actually liked it? This pisses me off to no end. It is this bullshitery "innovation" that is stabbing the shit out of the already suffering Zelda name. Sure, I'll try it, but dammit if they fuck up this one then I have lost all hope for the series. Miyamoto, and Iwata used to be such good game designers. Come on, Miyamoto made Ocarina of fucking Time, and Mario 64. What the hell?

EDIT:

Can't be the same Link, or he'd be wearing his green garb...unless the game is going to be retarded.

Yes it could. Link seems to change outfits. He does have his green tunic on in the trailer too. He changed outfits in Wind Waker, and in Twilight Princess. Let's not forget about switching Tunics either.

Yeah, but if he was Wind Waker Link, he'd be wearing green from the beginning of the game...unless he is forced to wear new clothes for his stupid train job.

Like I said, "unless it's retarded."

[rock_nog]

Okay, so it's either Wind Waker Link who has to wear a stupid train conductor outfit, or it's a new Link who starts out as a kid who is a train conductor but finds out he's the Hero of... Trains or some shit. You know, I think I'll take Wind Waker Link having to wear new stupid clothes to be a train conductor.
