The Twilight Princess Hype Thread

It's infinetly better than the PH art.

yes offcourse, but there is something about Links face. IM sooo tired, it soo late

AND THIS IS NOT THE MASTERSWORD!!!81c5e5f1.jpg

Anyone notice the new Item in link's inventory? Looks like a grappling hook or a hookshot to me, And... Is that a new boomerang? or just a crappy screen shot.

what ARE we looking at? or what are we supposedd to be looking at? or what am i supposed to be looking at.... o boy...

Oh man! This is SO exciting--I've been over at the Hylia and those screen pwn. I can't even believe how cool the big poster scene looks--too bad we can't see wolf link. And those screenshots...I LOVED Metroid Prime and the style is perfect...gritty and yet zelda.

And now we know for sure that the Master Sword is part of the game. All ye who doubted, look to thy official art...

But not much happened at GDC so the bomzaldroppenton will probably happen at E3.

I love it; I'm much more interested in the new art than the new screenshot.

Actually, I'm hearing that art from the magazine isn't official art, so we might see something different at E3. Man, I can't wait to hear about PH and TP!

Common sense says it is. First of all you have the sheathe, which is your standard MS sheathe (as seen in OoT and WW). Secondly, why else would they bother covering up the sword . . . they're obviously hiding it for a reason.

OMG this is soooooooo much fun! so excited. im posting between periodic intervals.......:S

But the sword doesnt have that batthingie(you know that one that looks like btwings). I hope that Im wrong.

On a closer look, notice the absence of any health or magic meter, notice how the HUD is very mechanic and simple... hopefully this is the only drawback to playing zelda on the Wii.

Do you think that the absence of a health/magic meter is just because the camera is in some kind of zoom-mode because Link is using the bow? I hadn't noticed it before and it's sort of strange, but it's also odd that there's this whole new layout in the upper right-hand corner. Almost like this is an OLDER screen, but that can't be right.

Oh, and did anyone notice the spot of light circling the enemy that link is targeting? If I'm not mistaken, that's a new feature (and I very much like it). Did we see that sort of effect before? Because I don't recall it

I haven't been this excited for tp/tp info since last year! That scan definately loks great!!!
What time does E3 start? And where is it being held?
EDIT: Wait, the gameplay screen isn't working for me. The bandwith usage is apperently too large. What should I do?

At the top right hand corner of the new mountain screen. Apparently the A and B buttons will be used for your bow and sword, the D pad serves as your item slots, and apparently Navi will work with you if your using the Wii. On the D pad I see:

Left--- boomerand (new or gale?)

Up and down--- (dun't know, too blurry)

right--- definantly a new item.

I would guess that its Wii exclusive. Just look how the items is placed...like a wiicontroler

wheres this screen? i havent seen em! noooooooo.....

Wah--wait! Navi? Where's the screen that shows THAT? Is that a rumor or is there some pics floating around I haven't seen yet?

And think about those implications...timeline...do we know it's Navi and not some other fairy?

The hilt is purple and the wings are cut off in that image. The scabbard is definetly the MS's scabbard. It's the Master Sword.

* NO SWINGING THE CONTROLLER for the sword, you just press a button. There are some cases where you will swing though. Reason = you'll get tired too fast
* Controller does sound effects
* Widescreen on the REV only
* Navi is only when you play on the REV
* Something with online is planned but no battle mode
* More dungeons than OOT already
* More items too

yes, so Navi is one of the exclusive Wii bonuses

There's about 12 pages of Nintendo stuff.. 6-7 are Twilight princess

A little birdy told me that the pics are out there. Where? I cannot tell. They aren't at the usual suspects (yet) but really, it's pretty simple to figure out if you know how urls work.

Man... I need those scans. Anyone up for hunting them down?

Ah, yes, that link worked =D
If that's not the master sword, I'll send you all ten bucks........ not really. But I'm pretty sure it is.

Ok, on an off note, I really freaking want to play Rayman Raving Rabbits.

And to make this Zelda-related...that link is to the rev TP screen, and I don't think that's the MS. I think you mean that the MS is in the screen with the poster (w/the rev controller in the center of the triforce) and that the hilt is hidden from view.

Just wondering...does anyone think that the MS is different (as in WW, when the hilt changed and it lost it's power) in TP? Because I'm reserving judgement but I get the sense that that's what people are thinking. Just wondering...
