More Details on Zelda Emerge

Posted by Zonk on Friday April 22, 2005 @04:36AM 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."

Agreed completely. I can't speak for the older Zelda games, but Wind Walker only rates as an "ok" to me. Maybe 6/10 territory. Kingdom Hearts probably counts as "great, but flawed" (control system could have used some work, Disney plot elements made me puke), probably 8.5/10 territory. I'm still only 6 hours into Jade Empire and so far I've not seen a single thing about it I don't like and I've seen lots that I just love.

As for the "as good as, but not better than Zelda" title, I'd possibly go for something like FFX-2 on the PS2 (or maybe Ominusha 3), or KOTOR2 on the X-Box (just not as good as the first one).
