What are you more hyped for? Zelda: Spirit Tracks or Zelda Wii?

Twilight Princess did NOT live up to its hype.. it was a good game, but not nearly good enough.

I actually agree with that, TP was just a few tweaks and polishes to every other zelda game out there, it just sometimes seems like he hates zelda, rather than likes any of them at all.

And Zelda Wii! It's gonna suck and we all know it, but its gonna be alright because we are getting used to sub par and par games, so it will be great because of the inovations it'll bring. You'll get dead on a boss and let the game do it for you. How fun is that?!

my seconed quote!yeay!


I can't belive that the brother I wish I had says that!the pain,the pain!







anyways,




Zelda for the wii sounds exiting,but i'm more hyped to spirit track!why you asked?because of the adorable Link!(well I like to call him Toon Link)

Reskin the starting location and it's inhabitants. whoo.

Started as Adult Link, not Young Link.

Yeah, that effects gameplay.

Not in Kokiri Forest with Kokiri children that do not grow up, with regular human beings.

Just bland, boring characters with different skins.

You meet a helpful character named Midna.

Navi, Tatl, King of the Red Lions, Ezlo, etc.

You go into the Twilight Realm.

Rehash of the Dark World from ALTTP.

You can turn into a wolf.

The wolf gimmick was executed extremely poorly. The transformation mechanic had already been done much better in Majora's Mask.

You get a boomerang that has powers of wind.

Now you're just taking the piss.

No ocarina in this game whatsoever.

Howling stones.

No time travel either.

Temple of Time.

Iron boots have magnets in them

One of the few mechanics I enjoyed, and yet only utilized for one dungeon.

More realistic art style than OoT.

No, the art style is not more realistic. The graphics were simply more advanced due to TP being released eight years later.

*Sarcasm* Boy, these games really do sound alike, don't they? *Sarcasm* I think you've just been treated....

Cute

It wasn't just the swrod that used motion, you could now aim your bow and bommerang. And fish. You're wrong on that one. It actually was cool.

The wiimote would always disconnect randomly even when the sensor bar was aligned perfectly. An analogue stick would have been better.

How could you say it was a bad plot?

It was a masterpeice.

Hilarious.

Granted it wasn't perfect, but it was a good game.

I'm a Zelda fan, but not a Zelda fanboy.

I think OOT and MM are two of the greatest games of all time, and WW was also very good. After that though, yeah, they suck.

unlike the inmature icecream,I am more interested in Zelda for the wii.

But see, you just told me aspects of the game you think sucked. What you said had no relation to what I was trying to say. You said It's was practically a remake of OoT. I had good reasons it wasn't, and that's what I was trying to point out to you, yet you totally avoided the whole purpose of my post. That was to make you realize it wasn't a practical remake of OoT, and you oubviously realize it, because you would've argued that it still was. But instead, you talked about how those aspects of the game sucked, totally avoiding the subject, like I said.
1. You realize that it is not a practical remake of OoT anymore.
2. I still totally disagree that TP sucked, and while 2 others have agreed with you, there is millions who love TP and call it their favorite Zelda game.

Yet with that said, we both are going totally off topic with this discussion, which was intentionally made to discuss which game had more hype here on the ZU forums. We both have totally different opinions, and that's fine. But I just don't want to go off topic, and go into an all out flaming war. It could be bad for us if we continue, casue we both could get suspended for flaming for a period of time. Look, you have your opinion, and I bet millions of people would agree with you. I have my own opinion, and I bet millions of people would agree with me. But we should just put this whole situation aside, and try to get along, and be friends. That's the best thing to do.

Zelda Wii by far. I think the DS one looks kind of wierd but nevertheless it'll always be a part of the Zelda franchise whether people like it or not. But I'm more of a console Zelda player and I'm most hyped for the Zelda Wii.:mastah sword:

I'm really excited for Zelda Wii though, the things i really expect from Zelda Wii are:

- Better Graphics than TP

- A More Challenging game (which i doubt will happen considering what Nintendo has been doing in their recent years)

- A good plot/storyline (not any of the basic Ganon takes over Hyrule and Link saves the land and Zelda, some thing a little more unique and not a dirty trick like TP) They should look at MM for inspiration.

- No "Link collects three special items from three dungeons, something very important to the story happens, then Link goes out to more dungeons and collects more special items, then banish and/or kill the main villain of the game which is more than likely Ganon". Once again they need to seek inspiration from MM.

Those are 4 major things that i expect from Zelda Wii, which i highly doubt that Nintendo will try to accomplish (maybe they'll get the graphics right though)

YOU! Go take over the Zelda development team and teach them! PLEASE!!!!
I couldn't agree with you more!

I'm excited about the new Wii Zelda because there's so much stuff they haven't released about it that it keeps me so 'at the edge of my seat'.
But I still think that it is very possible that the new game can disappoint me.

As for the new Spirit Tracks, I'm full of the cel-shaded Link. And a train....really? It would take years for my mind to accept that.

The new Wii Zelda by far. I mean, Twilight Princess was pretty good for what it was. The problem I have with the new systems is that the companies try too hard to make the motion sensitive aspects of the game console such a big piece of the game that the gameplay is overshadowed by the stupid controls. I thought that Twilight princess found a good balance between the two. They seem to have a bit more trouble finding that balance on the DS.

I'd have to say spirit tracks because I have nothing to keep me occupied until Spirit tracks release date and when spirit tracks comes out on december first, I'll have something to do until Zelda wii comes out.

Zelda Wii. I'm not really into hand held games that much. find myself losing interest quicker.

The Wii one for me as well. I don't think I'll bother with Spirit Tracks.

I'm more hyped for Spirit Tracks. Simply because we know more about it than Zelda wii. Plus it'll be coming out soon. I find it easier to get hyped over two trailers than a painting.

I have no doubt that Zelda wii will eventually be better, but being hyped for a game that won't come out for over a year and will probably be delayed without knowing anything about the game as of now... sounds like fun.

Zelda Wii, totally. I think Spirit Tracks will be like another PH, and while I like PH, it's not what I want in a Zelda game. The Great Sea felt so small, somehow.

However, I'm looking forward to a dark, serious Zelda game!

Zelda Wii! I don't even own a DS yet, but I hope I will have it by Christmas.

As far as I'm concerned they're vastly different.

Just bland, boring characters with different skins.

An opinion I disagree with.

Navi, Tatl, King of the Red Lions, Ezlo, etc.

So Majora's Mask, Wind Waker and Minish Cap are rehashes of OoT too now?

Rehash of the Dark World from ALTTP.

And has nothing to do with OoT.

The wolf gimmick was executed extremely poorly. The transformation mechanic had already been done much better in Majora's Mask.

How nice for you, unfortunately that opinion doesn't change the fact that it's a differing gameplay element.

Now you're just taking the piss.

The Gale Boomerang utilized wind mechanics, in case you forgot.

Howling stones.

Without the functions of the Ocarina.

The wiimote would always disconnect randomly even when the sensor bar was aligned perfectly. An analogue stick would have been better.

Never had this problem. I myself own the GC version, however - played the Wii version at a friend's place so to see the difference.

Indeed, you've done little to actually prove that TP is a rehash of OoT.

I'm more into the upcoming Zelda Wii. This seems biased, but I prefer consoles over handhelds. I still liked PH, but after reading Jff's view on ST, I'm reluctant.

It's ok, Beast, you're allowed to be biased.

I think spirit tracks looks kind of lame to be honest but Zelda wii looks more promising
