Official Nintendo Magazine UK release special commemorative Zelda issue.

This special one off edition of the magazine, not connected to the continuing magazine (which came out on the same day), was released last week. To be frank it's £4.99, so more expensive than the regular issue, has less pages, and although filled only with Zelda info, from the flick through I had of it (I did not purchase it), it does not seem to cover any new stuff of any real interest. Also ONM have the gall to actually reprint the reviews of TP and PH in this special edition, which have already been published in earlier magazines!

However then I realise it could be a Zelda gem to hold onto for the future, so once I have some money (I am a poor student) I may re-review this edition, if it turns out to be better than expected. Or please if anyone actually bought it please tell us what it's like!

  Interesting news tip, CS. I'll have to see if I can find some scannings for it. In the meantime, I did see zelda2008.com, and it looks like a really nice piece of artwork, although I can't vouch for it's credibility.

  umm, ok, I just went to this zelda2008 place and there was nothing there. just a picture.
nothing to click on.
no scrolling down. not even a single word.
I'm not complaining, i was just wondering if that was supposed to happen.

Oh, and speaking of that picture,...
HOLY SH*T!!!!!!!!!
THAT WAS THE SCARIEST THING I'VE SEEN IN...
well, a good while.
I was afraid something like this would happen. Link is not meant to be that detailed! if Link gets too detailed, then playing as him will get awkward. how could we relate him to past versions!?
... maybe I'm just a little freaked out. its too eairly to think about that now..
Nevermind

  ^^^(as to the above www.zelda2008.com discusion)

....Come on, that is the most obvious fake I have ever run across... you can't honestly think that Nintendo would risk their necks so much as to make a zelda even DARKER. They got enough grief for that after Twilight princess. And besides, if any images did leak, they would be practical concept art, not (basicly) a wallpaper. ....(anyone notice how much the face in the picture looks like General Hein from Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within?)

  I hope it's fake. i, personally, prefer the younger, more cartoony link. he is in point of view more fun to play as. i hope link doesn't stay adult for the rest of the series! phantom hourglass was child link, but i hope it stays that way.

oh, thank god!
your right octorok8, I like the cartoony links too. the TP Link was as realistic as I ever want Link to get.

  I agree with Chainoftermina up there, but you gotta admit, they did a spectacularly well balanced job on his TP re-design.

  Well, I think that they need a sequil to TP. That game was amazing and was the best Zelda game tied with ALttP. Like, they need this mature theme so more people will play it and not aim it for 3 years. WW and PH still rank above any other game ever (except for a few other Zeldas) but we need the mature theme of Twilight Princess

  Zelda needs to brake away from its childish theme but still keep it...keep the WW/PH theme goin' but take the OoT/TP theme even further even harder...like mabe take it towards the more RPG side because im 16 and ive been playin Zelda since OoT i was like 8 ive played all others apart from oracles and in startin to feel as though zelda is in the past :( and needs to move forward...well thats just my opinion.
