new info on the day and night system

has anybody seen this yet? http://www.gccafe.com/

some news at gamecube cafe. link will have some new item that will allow him to control time. players will have to rely hevily on the lantern during the night, with out it you can only see a few feet in front of you. and finally comunication with animals plays a very very very big part in the game... link can even talk to epona! flippin sweet!
though im a bit confused about the item that controls time, am i reading this right? what are your thoughts?

This has already been posted... i did

The item that controls time is probably a flut or somthing like that, a simple song or a spell that turns night into day and vice versa.

and don't repost again

Not seeing 3 feet in front of you + Oot Well = many people hiding under couches.

i didn't see this post anywhere. sooooory!

Keep this one up as there isn't much discussion going on in the other thread.

so the time control thing... im guessing its somthing small like changing night into day and so on, not anything big like MM and OOT. i'm really interested to see how this whole comunication aspect comes out. talking with epona... now the possibilitys are endless

why do we have to post in your thread? anyway, i wonder if epona will have any character, it seems like they've been greatlt influenced by miyazaki's 'princess mononoke'

In the interview they said he will use somethink to controll night and day... like the ocarina when link play the song of time the day changes

oh ok, i read to control time. same thing i guess. i really love the idea of night time being so dark, adds to the realism, i can't wait to be strolling through some errie, dark woods with the lantern.

Later on in the game you will get an item which will allow you yo change night and day

The same thing happens in all the 3-d zeldas at some point in the game (probably because they're the only zelda games with night and day )

"In the interview Aonuma speaks on the new day/night system that will be present in the game. The system is inspired by the system that was in Majora's Mask. Unlike Majora's Mask though, the system will not be in real-time."


^^MM's day/night system wasn't in real time.

Anyway, since he'll be able to communicate with Epona (if thats true), it sounds like she'll be like the boat in WW. I expect Link to get advice from animals.

They probably mean hours, not real earth time, just hours. Sunlight at 6:00am, sunset at 6:00pm.

Anyway, I would really want to see what your horse would say. The whole concept of day/night controlling was used, so it is not new, however talking with the horse is.
