More Details on Zelda Emerge

Posted by Zonk on from the link-the-farmer dept.

Cube.IGN has more details on the upcoming Legend of Zelda title, gleaned from Spanish gaming publication Hobby Consolas. From the article: "From screens printed in the magazine, the new outfit looks to blend peasant clothes of different cultures to achieve an altogether unique style. These same screens show the Triforce emblazoned on Link's left hand. Cool indeed. Link himself looks different from any other Zelda title. Eiji Aonuma wanted Link to sport a manga-inspired look, partly because the Link shown in the Space World 2000 looked like a lifeless puppet." Commentary on the single-mindedness of the fanboi rumormill available on Press the Buttons.

      Those fucks at Nintendo are totally ripping off Cat-Rape '88, for the Commodore. I am completely and utterly disgusted with Nintendo's lack of innovation on this front and will immediately stop playing my SNES and cease all thought of buying a Nintendo 64. The best games are always the oldest and most obscure ones because my ownership of them and non-acceptance of newer games proves how elite I am.
      In conclusion, I came up with the idea for Oregon Trail and have seen Sid Maier nude.

    I think Zonk needs to either pick up a dictionary and/or stop listening to Avril Lavigne ... Oh and new Zelda game, kickass!

    I can't wait until the next, next Zelda comes out for the Revolution. Maybe they will have an even more adult Link, like 80 something. Of course he'd still be awesome and kicking butt (ala Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns).

    They would have to give him walkers for weapons, or Viagra for health potions though. They'd just make him older and wiser, and instead of having to prove himself to older people, he'd just have to kick the snott out of young wippersnappers that thought he was over the hill. Over the course of the game he would keep getting more and more permanent injuries. Think dentures, magical hip replacement, etc. Some levels would even randomize locations ever once and a while to simulate senility. And then, once the death blow to Gannon was delivered, he would die of a heart attack. Thus leaving Zelda a substantial life-insurance policy to cash in.

    That would definitely bring a whole new demographic to Nintendo!
