What if Zelda was a girl
So woke
Nintendo doing anything possible to not admit Wand of Gamelan exists
Don't forget Zelda's Adventure too.
At least in the direct they didn’t say “for the first time”
You can play as Zelda in Spirit Tracks (Zelda in ghost form, that is).
It should be called "Legend of Link"
Been a minute since we’ve had a top-down Zelda game that you can play on the couch.
This looks like it might scratch my A Link to the Past itch.
Look at the map. It looks like the LttP top down map, or at least a similar throwback to it.
The town in the middle looked more like Minish Cap than anything else IMO
You can see the East Temple, the Rock Field, and Hyrule castle.
I'm pretty sure the trailer even shows that this is a direct sequel to Link to the Past.
Oh god, I hope they didn't reuse the map for a third game. This game looks so promising, but that would really put a damper on it.
Yeah, this looks a bit like LttP HD and ALBW. At least from the stills; I haven't watched the videos yet.
I hate the art style. Makes me curious if we see the dark world again though.
Post-Wii Nintendo seems to be allergic to 2d and pixel art stylez
The art style is what excites me the most. This is like next-gen Link to the Past.
That's quite the insult to the beautiful pixel art of Link to the Past.
Didn't they remake Link's Awakening?
Yeah, good point. I wonder if this is the same engine.
Are we really surprised that people didn’t know CD-i Zelda games existed?
I don’t know about that. A lot of us didn’t even know these CD-I games existed. Hell, I was a 90’s kid that subscribed to game magazines, and my only real exposure to it was some random educational games that my school bought and then never really used.
If you go around and ask 40 somethings if they played CD-I games, you’re going to get a lot of people who say “what was that?”
While I was disappointed we didn’t get a badass Zelda to play in Tears of the Kingdom, I’m glad there’s at least something focusing on her. Since it’s giving ALTTP vibes I’ll probably give this a play at some point.
