So apparently Nintendo is gonna be hosting an exclusive internally-organized showcase for the Zelda line-up back in New York at the same time as E3.

Prime features on the advertising is the 500 fan invites up for grabs First-come-first-serve and a chance to demo the nuZelda game.

"Leaky" user; if you were just fanwanking, now's the time to come clean.

Everyone else; Who wants to start a betting pool on what's actually gonna be in the game?

I'll bet 1 year of Holla Forums premium account that Link is in the game.

IT'S JUST ZELDA
IT'S BEEN THE SAME SINCE 1998
WHY ARE YOU GETTING SO EXCITED

Sounds like a cool event but I'm not even going to try to get there because I'm 100% certain they'll already have 500 people on line by 7:15.

Just camp out front a few days in advance, I'm sure they won't mind

Cute, but seriously; someone give me odds on the "Leaks" from earlier in the week getting debunked, and how many bricks would be shat if they, by some divine prank, turn out to be legit.

I don't care about Zelda anywhere near enough to do that.

...

Goddamn it, he better be enough of a dick to rival DIC Link like we discussed in the leak thread, in order to cancel out this "cute elfboy i want to fug" nonsense. Actually, come to think of it, if he is a massive shithead then the ponytail just completes the look to go with the personality, in which case I wholeheartedly support it.

I am the leaky user. Sorry guys I was just screwing around.

I don't know, my uncle doesn't work for Nintendo
1 brick, because after 1 your asshole will be torn asunder and the rest of the bricks will just collapse out

Why the fuck?

Simple. Because it's the only big game that is coming out for wiiU.

It isn't like Nintendrones have anything else to look forward to.

Okay, alternate line of discussion: how the NX will effect the game and vice versa.

We know the game was meant to be a Wii U and is still being advertised as that going by the event description, but it still got delayed extra just so it could come out on the NX. How close to completion do you think it was before getting shelved? How much will they change to get it adapted to whatever hardware the NX has? Will any new developments slip out from people pressing the event organizers for comment?

For a system due out in less than a year that co-opted a flagship release for itself, it sure is being covered up like a shameful secret. The really should have just released the game for Wii U this year and take the NX and adaptations as it comes. The only thing waiting for new tech to catch up in the future has accomplished is piss off what few customers were trying to line up now.

...

Once again, instead of letting a franchise die a graceful death, to be fondly remembered by all, it's dragged kicking and screaming into modernity to be flogged like the dead horse it is.

I'm guessing it was mostly done and it will have Twilight Princess tier gimmick integration.

Did you ever meet a guy with a ponytail who wasn't a dick?

The sad thing is; Nintendo could have stuck with just releasing a new gimmicky ToonLink sidegame on the DS line every other year, and it would have worked wonders. The nostalgiafags get regular entries to keep them placated, and the Devs get a small but steady cash cow they can milk reliably.

But no, in the midst of choking out the old franchises left and right, Zelda (along with Mario) gets the fortune/curse of being the perpetual mainline fuel of the Sequel Engine and we MUST have a new "Big" name console release every generation, never mind it's a been a decade since anything worth noticing came out of the franchise.

I just don't know how they could drop the ball on the release formula so badly. At least it isn't full-on development hell, but that almost makes it worse, because that means they're holding it back to oblige a separate product's development hell.

Are you a wiiU owner? The man asked why people are hyping this game and I answered it. I don't see any errors in my factual statement. The wiiU has no big releases planned besides Zelda.

I know it doesn't really matter since everyone buys a Nintendo console as a secondary so game droughts aren't an issue but still it's embarrassing for Nintendo.

it's not 1995 anymore user.

Classic outfit Link is best Link. This new Link looks like a sidekick in a yaoi doujin.

I have decided I don't want anything from this new Zelda game. That way I won't be disappointed. I mean, I probably still will be because it's Nintendo and they delight in failing to meet my already lowered expectations, but still, I'm proactively cautious.

...

Yes. Nintendo games. Such wow.

Meanwhile the rest of the industry moves on.

...

What the fuck is there to spoil about a Zelda game? I love the series but really. What would you spoil? The bad guy is ganon? You win in the end? Zelda was helping you by doing something the whole time? They are VERY formulaic and most of the fun comes from playing them/exploring

Nigga you should see Nintendrones freak out over mario "spoilers".

...

Because it's a formula I like and to this day there still are hardly any games that really tried to do it. The only one I can think of is Okami and that was years ago.

Seriously, why can't we get more adventure games with a good deal of tools that are useful for combat AND environment interaction? Is that really so hard to do?

They freaked out over Rosalina in SM3DW being leaked with out a spoiler warning
They freaked out over fucking Mario Maker costumes being leaked without a spoiler warning

You can easily piss them off with the little amount of zelda plot being spoiled.

...

Congratulations on succinctly explaining the difference between current decade hipster betamales and the blue collar man's men whose fashions they copies even as they desperately try to put them down to appease dye-haired landwhales.

Hell I can spoil it right now. Your home village is attacked by totally-not-Ganon which starts your journey to save Hyrule. You will meet a… something that will have porn drawn before the game is released. They will help you on your quest and suggest you start by talking to the princess. You go to the castle and meet Zelda and she declares you the chosen one because otherwise she would have to admit a filthy commoner actually managed to speak to her. She then sends you to collect 3 shiny things so you can get the Master Sword. But, something bad happens after you pull the Master Sword from it's stone and not-Ganon reveals that he was ACTUALLY GANON THE WHOLE TIME ZOMG!!1!1!! Now you're up shit creak without a paddle until you collect 5 or 6 other shiny things that will open up the door to Ganon's castle where Zelda is being held captive because even though she it the embodiment of wisdom she didn't figure out that if some shit covered peasant could sneak into her place the evil wizard probably could too. You storm the castle, laugh when Ganon says "NO, HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN DEFEATED BY THE REINCARNATION OF THE MAN WHO IS DESTINED TO DEFEAT ME" and probably cry because the cumslut who has been following you this entire time leaves because your hour is up and this ho ain't runnin' no charity.

Wasn't in windwaker that ganon was aware of this endless cycle of getting fucked over by link, and it was played off more as a tragedy since he went into the fight knowing full well that he was going to lose? he was the bad guy, but only reluctantly.

Wind Waker is a mess of a narrative and one of the reasons the series went as downhill as it did, don't try to look into it as some bastion of good writing

Link's been homobait since OoT

Irrelevant to the point I was making. But I'm glad you shared your opinion with me all the same.

The leaks weren't pushing anything new or exciting so I'd be disappointed if they were real. This Link being a canon asshole would do wonders for my dick.

go back to gamefaqs

Neither of those things actually ever happened, but if you lie enough I'm sure it'll be truth.

Never read the gonintendo comment section whenever they forget to put a spoiler warning have you?

Eh, in recent years there's a better than decent chance that NotGanon turns out to honestly be not Ganon… and when you kill him in the advertised final battle, he reveals that he only got as strong as he did because Ganon smuggled him some steroids and you move to the For Realsies Final Dungeon™ with ActualGanon.

Also; you should know by now that this modern generation will never allow an unironic Princess character to be a Damsel. Zelda's gonna crawl dungeons just like Link, and complete them faster and better to boot, only letting you take the MacGuffins because she can't be assed she'll still only perform a screening role and/or assist in the killstrike animation at most during the final battle against Ganon, but this time she'll be a gloryhound cunt about it and claim that your shared victory is honestly all thanks to her.

Is Nintendo gay?

...

It was also played that Ganondorf had a pretty decent reason for what he did at first, he coveted the success and prosperity of Hyrule while he and his were stuck in a desert.

Though he was probably pretty pissed going into the battle since King Daphnes appeared, claimed the Triforce himself and wished for Hyrule to be unsalvageable to keep him from having it.

Wii U and PC is what you need. Nothing more.

The best racing game in the modern context is a Xbone game with a Freemium version on PC that is poorly optimized
Sorry pal, your cool stays in school

To be fair people here don't count collection games, especially ones where you can emulate most, if not all of the titles on toasters.
