Zelda Wii Will Not See a 2010 Release

One trailer, a lot of screenshots and a piece of concept art. Don't be such a pessimist.

No. I mean, I'm only allowing myself to look at 1 trailer. They can release 15 if they want to, but that's more for me to avoid. @_@

And no interview reading for me. I'm not even sure if I should speculate.

My favorite Zeldas were ones that I had no knowledge of prior...The game is completely new and I don't know anything about what's going to happen. That is the best. For PH, I knew everything...everything. And for TP I knew what to do up until I got past the 2nd level. All because of the hype. U_U No spoilers plz.

Yeah, I've done that so many times.

The only thing I'm looking up for SMG2 would be the story and the intro (since Mario games don't usually have deep stories, and SMG2 is no exception). I'm prohibiting myself from looking up anything ZWii related except for the release date.

But it'll be pure torture resisting...

I actually did ban myself a month before TP's release. I just refused to go on the internet, because of some SERIOUS spoilers. So, I squeaked onto the computer for 2 seconds. I can't even remember why. But I scrolled down on a forum and uncensored spoilers were everywhere for TP. I was like @_@ Waaaaaaaaaaaaah?!?

I remember seeing Midna's true form by accident. So, yeah. I was so surprised at the ending. Woo.

I spoiled the game for myself and thought it was nothing special anyway since everything was so goddamn easy.

The worst part for me. I saw pictures of Ganondorf and said "WTF" and then I read that Midna killed Zelda...which wasn't exactly true. But I really didn't want to hear that. =/ Oh and the scene with Lanayru and the warning vision. I saw a part of that and I was confused beyond belief. xD

OSM, I don't know what would make you think the next major title will be harder...Let's hope for the best.

If it's anywhere near as easy or easier than TP I will be severely disappointed.

...I'll be extremely upset too. But I tend to get over it pretty fast. Saying how replaying any 3D Zelda is a breeze.

Maybe the Quick Play option will help us out of hand holding Zelda games.

I hope the puzzles will be somewhat mind-bending and that the enemies will require more than "find an opening and hit me".

'I also want an epic soundtrack.

THIS. THIS **** SO HARD. GOD DAMMIT NINTENDO, and make Link take MORE damage. He's gotten way too strong over the years.

THIS! Holy ****, GIVE ME A CHALLENGE!

I also want an orchestrated soundtrack, Nintendo. Do it. Do it now. PLEASE.

Puzzles...PH had some awesome puzzles. But the game was still...easy. Really easy, I never actually got stuck because of a puzzle. Well actually, I take that back. @_@ But mostly easy puzzles can still be really fun. Zelda fans usually figure any Zelda puzzle out pretty fast. It's the horrible truth.

Eiji Aonuma promised orchestrated music for the next Zeldaa during a TP's interview! =D Though he was ambiguous about voice acting.

I'm not asking for more damage (though having "normal" enemies that do 1-2 Hearts damage would be nice), I'm asking for more variety.

I'm not asking for the enemies to do more damage. I want the enemies harder to kill (i.e. actually require intelligence to kill), not easier to die from.

I'm expecting an orchestrated soundtrack. If there is none, I swear I will hate Nintendo for the week following my finding out of the lack of orchestration.

Voice acting really isn't something anyone should worry about. It doesn't do anything for the core gameplay, it's more or so just another "bell and whistle." That said, I'm not against it either as long as Link stays a mute.

So is an entire orchestra. Zelda doesn't need one. It needs more Koji Kondo, but it doesn't really have to have an orchestra. That would just make me very happy.

An orchestra does more to enhance gameplay than VA does.

Mario Galaxy wouldn't be the same without its epic music.

I never saw anything about Twilight Princess before it was released, aside from those super early shots showing how enemies will look different, even if they're the same type (lol didn't happen.) So yeah, I was totally surprised at Twilight Princess. It's a shame I'll end up knowing half of Zelda Wii before it's out, considering how much more active of a gamer I am now.

xD I was just restating his response...

We asked Aonuma why Twilight Princess didn't feature an orchestral soundtrack.

"i think you're probably talking about the comment I made at E3 about using fully orchestrated background music for Zelda. [Omitting that] was actually a conscious decision we had to make because of development timing," said Aonuma. "It's something that Kondo-san [the game's composer] is very frustrated about -- he really wishes we could have implemented that. So I'm hoping you'll look forward to that in future Zelda games."

Finally, we brought up a common gripe: the lack of any major voice acting in Twilight Princess. Unlike orchestral music, which Nintendo seems intent on doing for future games, the company is not yet convinced that characters should talk.

"In regard to voice acting, I made a conscious decision not to give Link a voice because Link is actually the player and to give him a voice would alter the experience for the player so I don't think that that will happen anytime soon. Unless, of course, it benefits the gameplay. It's all about gameplay, so it if benefits the gameplay then we would definitely consider including voice acting," Aonuma said. "There are many games out there that use voice recording and for me, if I were to choose to include voice acting in a Zelda game, it would have to change the game dramatically and make other people realize that it's a completely new way of using voices."

Sauce.

Hey, I love orchestrated music. I'm in an orchestra myself, and I freakin' love playing. ButI also love 8-bit music. I'm listening to LA music right now. And OoT has the best soundtrack ever, if you ask me. Koji's the man...man.
