Just worked out what new Wii Zelda is about!

Just worked out what new Wii Zelda is about in relation to the supposed "Master Sword."

" IGN: At your developer roundtable this week, you showed off a single piece of artwork from the next Wii Zelda game. This piece of art has not yet been released publicly, but we noticed that Link appears to have grown to full adulthood. He looks older than he did in Twilight Princess. Is that a correct assumption?

Shigeru Miyamoto: Well, the story setting for this Zelda is, of course, in a completely different era and Link is older than he was previously. More approaching adulthood. There is one hint. Maybe from the art work you can see that he's not holding a sword. "




Basically, this game will be about the forging of the Master Sword and creating the pact with the six sages. It will take place during the time the interlopers (from TP) are sent to the Twilight Realm, during that great war that takes place where the land's peoples are fighting to establish dominion over the Sacred land of Hyrule as well as find the Sacred Realm. More epic than OoT really.

No.

Take a look at the artwork, then come again.

Plus, since when does Nintendo really care about the story? Does anyone really think, that Nintendo is going to create an epic story just for the heck of creating an epic story? Going back to the origins, reintroducing the Hero of Time, showing us the flood and explaining the whole timeline? No, they won't do that. They come up with ideas like "boat!!" or "wolf!!" or "train!!" and THEN they are going to develop a story around them. If it can't be connected with any of the previous games and their timelines, then they just create a new one. That's how it works, guys. Don't ever get your hopes up for an all-epic story Zelda.

Wow, what a great idea!






But really, no.
It's impossible to make a correct judgment on the storyline of this game right now. All we have is artwork and a few sentences from Miyamoto.

Sure your idea is possible, but it won't be accepted right now.

No....

You fail miserably. My theory is the best possible one that there is, that is, working with the information we currently have - no sword in hand and a completely different era suggesting pre-OoT war.

But if you think about it... making a Zelda game in this era is the best possible choice that they could make. It would set them up with everything they need.

Also, when did I say this would explain the flood? You just make stuff up as you go to make your post longer or something?

OR
The Master Sword could have been transformed into a fairy, and the different era in fact takes place well after any events we've come to know



See, your theory is flawed.

Your flawed. You like attacking people for fun do you? Is that how you get all your posts?

My theory is still more likely than yours for the simple reason that we already know about the events in my theory, yours we dont know about it at all.

Anyway I just want people to discuss what it could be about.. though theres not much to talk about... You don't have to be a smart **** about it.

There has been no story released to what happens in the game and where it sits in the timeline, so your post is pretty much made-up.

All that we know is what Shigeru has told us. There is nothing about the sages, the forging of the Master Sword, when it will take place and vice versa.

So your information is irrelevant.

Oh yes, I'm a very angry lion that chases prey in every one of my posts.

I'm not attacking you, I'm simply showing how it's idiocy to say "this game will be about...(etc etc)" when you have zero proof of it.
All you can do is make assumptions, not final and accurate conclusions.

Seriously, I stopped reading there. If you truly have the misbelief of being impeccable, then there's no point in argumenting with you. If you're not able to deal with objections to your theory and comprehend them, then you should not start a thread about it or state in advance that you just want people to say "OMG, you're teh man, your theory is teh best" and nothing else.

And your theory is anything but the "best possible one there is". You obviously haven't even looked at the official artwork yet, because what Teekay said about the fairy wasn't a joke or an offense. The artwork shows the Mastersword as a fairy/spirit or another kind of incarnation next to Link where his sword would be - and this fact is obviously not covered by your so called theory. Not to mention, what I stated earlier about Nintendo's ways of story developing when it comes to Zelda.

Unless they've decided to to an 180 degree turn this time and created the story first, then yes - this is how it's usually done. Gameplay comes first for Nintendo.

or how about we all stop attacking each other and simply enjoy hypothesising the limitless possibilities of the potential story line?

It's less about accurately predicting, and more about the fun of dreaming.
it's about FUN and imagination at this point.

Geez!
Personally, I think it would be pretty awsome if this theory were true, not that I have any disposition to belileve that it is.
But it reminds me of the prequel to Terry Brooks' Shannara series, "The First King of Shannara" where the forging of the sword of Shannara happens and the background is explained. Still- it would be cool.

I smell a quickly approaching locked thread... I wonder where it could be...

I think it's a really good idea. But nothing points towards pre OoT. Nothing points towards post OoT. So either way you go, it's not right, but it's not wrong... at this point anyway.

There's also potential to explain Link's lack of sword-

-in a post-OoT, pre-TWW game (maybe those rumors about Project Deluge weren't so off? they, too, said the main character would have no sword)
-in a post-OoT, pre-TP game (where Link can't pull the Master Sword lest he trigger the events of Adult OoT all over again)
-in a post-TWW game (the sword was left at the bottom of the ocean at the game's end)

I agree that it's likely close to OoT, given the artistic choice to give the TP-style Link the hairdo that OoT Link had, and I definitely think that guessing going off of the sword's absence as it could relate to other titles is on the right track (Miyamoto said it was a hint in reference to the story setting). But I don't think there's any evidence of a definite answer.

As a matter of fact, someone told this to TSA, who is a very reliable source.

This isn't posted anywhere as far as I have seen, but I was told this is the first Zelda game built from the ground-up around a story, not a gameplay idea (which if you know anything about Zelda's development history over the years, is amazing). The statement that they're holding off on what "controls" to use, yet the game is "really far along", and Miyamoto's remarks at the round table seem to back up what I heard, in my opinion. So I'm rather excited now to see what comes from this game.

I've already said that it might have something to do with the making of the , and the new Metroid is heavy on the story, so why not the new Zelda. But it's still to early to come to any conclusions (though I do think it'd better if the girl had something to do with the creation of the than if she was the ).

Which game is he talking about, Zelda Wii or TP? *confused*

Really, for real?

That's pretty cool, but I hope that they don't slack off on the game-play elements.

I think that it would be awesome if this took place before OoT, but I also think that this may be the same Link from Oot.
Who knows, maybe Link got a hold of the Ocarina of time again and took himself to that time era. Anything is possible at this point.

Zelda Wii. It's supposedly being delayed till next year so they can see how well MotionPlus does before deciding whether to fully incorporate it or make it optional.

Geez. This is the ONE time I REALLY want to them to completely focus on gameplay (due to MotionPlus) and they go with the story instead.

Well, I shouldn't complain. As long as the all the aspects of the game are greatly improved and it becomes something unique that really stands out, I'm happy - regardless of MotionPlus.

Thanks for the info.
