Ok, so I've watched the trailer like 4 times. I have to say this game looks bad. I mean I love zelda but I can't stand the3-d overhead view. It looks stupid. Cel-shading doesnt look half bad on the DS. I hope they change the camera angles. I mean it just looks stupid.
Now look how good the Cel Shading looks.
Look how the camera angle kills it.
Oh well. I guess they cant use normal 3rd person because everything would be too small to see, But its nintendo and they should beable to come up with something better than that.
Wanna see more images to see more of what I mean? http://images.google.com/images?q=The+Legend+of+Zelda%3A+Phantom+Hourglass&hl=en
The boat direction seems a little wierd too. Its a nice use of the touch screen but its its still sailing and nintendo knows most of us hated the sailing in WW. Look. I'm guessing you draw how you want to go to an island and your boat goes on auto pilot and drives you there.
Not that bad of an idea. Still sailing but not as time consuming it used to be.
