Tww2

So we know it is coming but when?? I have heard it is coming end of this year, begging of next year, half way through next year e.t.c Anybody have a REAL date yet? Is it going to be on land or at sea, will there be any bonus discs with it and whats the story line? many thing to be disscused

Well, for starters, Nintendo announced awhile back, they are not using the Cel Shaded graphics, which is kinda a disappointment, but untill E3, we really dont know much about the future of the game, but i hope it stay by sea, it game the game a vast feeling, unlike OOT where you ran around Hyrule Field to get to every place.

strange I liked runing around Hyrule field
I thought at the begining of TWW wear you did not have the ballad of gales It was dead borin as you had to watch a little red boat sail the sea. I would say it takes about 60 seconds to get from one island to another
I really dont care if its sea or land for TWW2 i would like to see it 50/50 if that is possible
Cell shaded graphics..mmmmm I hated them at first but I got used to them im not too bothered about that either.

Yes, Horse back riding in Hyrule feild seemed much more enjoyable to me than the sea. Though, it was much smaller in area, it still entertained me. I'd prefer it to have some of the sea, and the Horse riding, they both seemed nice. As long as it has both, then I'm pleased. I'm not sure though if the Windwaker 2 will be an even greater game than the previous Windwaker. As long as they include some new features, and some of the old features, then it probably will surpass the previous game. They probably need to have a more vast area of land, and the same area of sea, it was large enough.

I dont get why people didnt like the Cel Shaded graphics, it fit so well, Link was only semi real in two games, the rest he was a cartoon like.

I like the almost comic like graphics, adds to the story feel of the game.

People were not used to seeing cel shaded graphics and there hero Link as a "cartoon" it just took a while to get used to thats all. 99% of people at the release of TWW hated cel shade but not any more becasue TWW turned out to be yet another great addition to the Legend of Zelda
thats another thing im split on (cel shaded graphics)

Um, the next one is going to be Cel shaded. They have been saying this forever, the next zelda will be Cel shaded,, but they were not sure on the one after. As for the release date we have only an idea until E3, I believe it will comme out this fall.

One thing I will say for Nintendo is that they take feedback from the fans quite to heart. Alot of people didn't like the tedium of travelling across the ocean and the quest for the Triforce peices was especially dull. So all in all I'd say they won't be making the same mistakes again, the only reason why the sailing got boring is because it was something they had never tried before and it didn't quite work out as well as they expected. Probably because the ocean was so featureless I think.

As for the enxt game, yes its cel-shaded because its using the same engine as the current one with a few enhancements. This is how Nintendo have almost always done 'sequels' to their Zelda games. Link's Awakening used the ALttP engine, Majoras mask used the OoT engine and WW2 will use the WW engine.

I can't wait. Lately my gaming life has been filled with too much farming, gunplay, farming, racing and farming.

Hey, maybe WW2 can have a farm in it, and instead of the unsurpassed fishing mini-game of OoT, you'd have to... I don't know... raise chickens instead of trying to chop them to bits, or something.

It was neither the sailing nor the questing for the triforce pieces that I didn't like - it was the fact that after all the adventuring of the first two thirds, the latter bit dragged by comparison. If they redesigned those elements to fit, say, two new triforce shards needed to open each new dungeon, it wouldn't have gotten boring - it would be part of the quest more, as opposed to a make-work project meant to fatten out the later part of the game.

I like the sea, but I want the islands to be bigger. Frankly, I don't think the next game is going to feature the triforce at all - it'll be sort of like Major's Mask, where the focus is on communication, and some new threat (on some new land). MM prooved to me the Zelda formula does not have to include Ganon or the Triforce to be succesful.

So TWW2 is 100% gonna have cel shaded graphics again?
But still no idea on the storyline? and if its land or sea yet oh well. Time will tell <playes song of dubble time>...I wish

The fact that it uses the same engine(with cel shading) and will have the same Link in it is litterally the only public knowledge of the game, nothing else is known.

Nintendo must have read complaints or other issues with The Wind Waker (if not, they should start doing it, or else they're idiots) and therefore they must understand what to do with the next game, like not basing 90% of the game on sailing through water... I used to go eat dinner while it sailed to that specific island.

Hopefully it will knock TWW out, it's what I hope. Don't take me wrong, TWW really hooked me and amazed me (it really did, I was totally shocked, didn't want it to end) for... three days ().

Let's see some great replay value here, I still beat OoT atleast once per year.

LMAO LOL too tru..it was quite boring lol

It depends, I feel that it isn't right to judge a game based on previews, but rather judge it on how you like it. When I play it, I will be able to determine if it surpasses WW or not.

So the general opinion is .maybe. it will surpass the windwaker

I think it may surpass the windwaker. I have a hypothesis to who the main enemy of WW2 will be. I hope we all remember that the king of red lions once said that the King of Hyrule (himself) once used the wind baton to guide the wind....now some of us may be asking "why would the King use the baton of winds?.....maybe to fight against the sage of winds! That's right, I believe that the new enemy Vatti will be shown in a spectacular 3D Cell shaded Gamecube game. It could be possible that (this is all coming from fan fiction of course) the hero of time used the four sword to defeat Vatti and the sages locked him up in the four sword seal ( that stone pedistal).

So here's my fan fict theory:
-OoT Link used the Four Sword to Seal Vatti in the pedistal ( why else would Link from Soul Calibur have four costumes)

-for WW2 Link, there is a possibility that the Four Sword is created/found in the new Hyrule and that is where Link first meets Vatti
-Hyrule Adventure Link will pull it out because he meets Dark Link and doesn't have a sword to fight with so he pull it out. (I've heard that Hyrule Adventure is actually a prequal to Four Swords(GBA).)
-Four Swords(GBA) Link pulls it out because the seal has been broken and Vatti escaped with Princess Zelda as his hostage.
