Zora's Sapphire is actually three sapphire stones together. ;)

Well, Miyamoto said he wanted to change The Legend of Zelda so there you go:shock:.

Well, it's not like Zelda was ever concerned with a perfectly organized backstory anyway. :P

Well, look at all the renovations the water temble went through.:shock:

[QUOTE="forgot_it"]Can someone remind me when Nintendo is going to be doing their presentation? One of the rumors I'm really excited about is the more seamless experience in terms of overworld, dungeons, and caves. One of my favourite things in Twilight Princess was when I would stumble across a pitch black cave. The feeling of exploring the cave, barely illuminated by my lantern was great, the only downside was that the cave never culminated to anything spectacular. E3, I can barely wait for you. If needed, I will find an internet connection in class and read what's happening.HarlockJC

Yeah TP was awesome. Mainly because it was the first 3D Zelda I ever beat. However, it's hard to pick a favorite between the four main 3D Zelda games.

I predict there will be a group of people that will be disappointed no mater how awesome the game looks.Shinobishyguy

Nintendo E3 is 2 hours :) Plenty of time to show Zelda and the 3DS. I want Pikmin also. Perfect E3 for me would mean, Nintendo showing the 3DS and maybe a game, a trailer of Zelda Wii, and a trailer of Pikmin 3. Zelda=2010. Pikmin 2011:D

When they show this game at E3 it's gonna be ridiculous, I remember back when they showed Zelda TP at E3 2004 there were grown-ass people literary shedding tears of joy.

People love their games mans. To some people games is all they have.

I hope the next Zelda is as long (or longer) than TP; which was quite long.

Woah! A lot of info i didnt know about, thanks.

Damn, I need to get the Nintendo Wii

Only a few days before we find out about this, and I'm pumped. I think it'd be fun to compare that information to what's been posted in the first post of this thread, and see what we can confirm/write off.

Nice thread, I am hoping the dugeon for this game is more difficult to solve compare to the previous Zelda game and more sidequests is never a bad thing either.:P

Well, as long as the sidequests don't involve collecting arbitrary objects. It'd be nice to see a more story-driven sideplot though.

YOU GUYS! RUMORS POSTED YESTERDAY CONFIRMED http://www.zeldainformer.com/2010/06/breaking-news-latest-zelda-wii-rumors-confirmed.phpShinobishyguy

I'm still waiting for the E3 conference.

Cool...but now I'm just hoping for more...

Does anybody know how the archery works in Wii Sports Resort? I really liked the IR pointing in TP...

YOU GUYS! RUMORS POSTED YESTERDAY CONFIRMED http://www.zeldainformer.com/2010/06/breaking-news-latest-zelda-wii-rumors-confirmed.phpShinobishyguy

Confirmed?

Not until nintendo says so.

Anyway, heres the whole thing:

****************************************************************

The latest batch of Zelda Wii rumors, posted only yesterday, has been confirmed just a few minutes ago. We were reluctant to post the source of the rumors earlier because of the dubious validity, and turned our entire attention towards digging up the source. It took some translating, some waiting for administrator approvals, and some investigation, but we can now say, with 99.99% validity, that the Zelda Wii Rumors from yesterday, are true.

* Zelda Wii's official title is "The Legend of Zelda". There will be no subtitle.
* The game tells a story several hundred years before Ocarina of Time.It also answers the question of how the Mastersword came into being.
* The fairy-like girl plays is a very important character in the game. Her Name is Zordiana.
* The Hookshot is also in the game and it has new abilities. It will not pull you immediately to the target you aimed. Now it is possible to swing with the Hookshot, like with the Grappling Hook from WW. The Hookshot makes no use of Wii Motion Plus.
* Sometimes you have to "draw" a specific symbol on a door with your sword, to open it.
* The Bow-Control is very similar to the Bow-Control in Wii Sports Resort, as the script shows.
* There are two levels of difficulty. Aonuma put it through. Miyamoto didn't want to include it.The Normal-Mode for amateurs. The Hero-Mode has no "Super Guide" included and the enemies tougher.
* The On-Stage Dungeon, which is also playable at E3, isn't a Dungeon as we know it from the Zelda series. When entering a Dungeon, you will not notice you are in one. It will be a smooth gradation. There will be Dungeons with no Bosses and Bosses with no Dungeon. The "Dungeon" you are able to play at E3 will be an Ice-Level. It will be the frist "Dungeon" in the Game.


The day the rumors were posted here, we received an email from a @yahoo.de account listing the rumors and providing a link to a german gaming forum (Thread here). Writing back to that email, we received no answer. Instead, we turned to the guy who posted them on the forum. After registering though we were disappointed to see that a user requires 15 posts to send a private message... Trying to reply to the thread was equally hopeless as the account needs to be verified by an administrator. Twelve hours later, the verification showed up.


The thread unfortunately moved on already (Germans apparently don't care too much about rumors) so we didn't actually hope for too much. This morning however, the guy who posted the rumors wrote a random reply to that same thread, just seconds before we checked the thread. Using this momentarily attention, we popped the question and lo and behold, he answered... with a different forum post. Apparently the rumors originated at yet another german Zelda fansite. After finding the thread there, we were relieved when the forum didn't shout at us when we tried to write a PM. An hour later, we got the confirmation. At the request of the original poster, we will disclose as little info as possible.

The information came from translator / german language instructor working in Kyoto who was hired at the E3 to prepare Aonuma for his speech. It is not entirely accurate that the info is from the first page of the speech. The original poster is an acquaintance of this person. The information was passed on to him via IM.

In order to protect the identity of both individuals, we are unable to disclose anything else at this point in time.

False, there is no timeline, Nintendo confirmed. So it wont be 100 years before OoT.

Only timeline exists with direct sequels (oot - MM)

I'm relatively new to Zelda (first game (TP) played through in late 2008, finished only TP, PH and OoT as of now, on to ALttP), so my hype for this new game isn't that much. I'm still very interested, though.

Why place the game generations before OoT? How can you have a Zelda game before OoT?

Perhaps it's better that the timeline never be mentioned again. :P

I'm not thrilled that it's just being called "The Legend of Zelda". A subtitle would be nice, but who knows. Maybe they'll change it.

For Wii Sports Resort archery, you aim using the Wiimote, and pull back the bow/fire using the nunchuck. It's a pretty good system that will hopefully translate well over to Zelda.

I'm pretty exicted for this game. Bring it on, E3.

Awesome thread btw :3IronBass

LOL at the title. They can't pretend they're doing a hard reboot like that if the artstyle is the same as TP's...

Nothing I saw there sounds bad. I just hope those aren't the important details.

Well, they're doing the whole thing of using just the base title with no subtitle or numbering, which is the fashion for reboots now. It would be funny if the title was "THE LEGEND OF ZELDA. PERIOD." and it just looked/played like TP.
