Info straight from TSA

Okay, been reading a GameFAQs thread in which TSA answers any questions he can about Twilight Princess. As I read this massive thread, I will post any information that strikes me as being interesting. If you want to ask him something yourself, go sign up check out this URL. http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gen...5578198&page=0 Okay, now onto the info. Be advised that these are not direct quotes, I am only summing up the information. Also, things in quotes are what I have to say on things to help you understand what I think is being said.
The landmass of Hyrule will be at least twice the size of the Wind Waker overworld, dungeons, towns, and everything else included.
The Triforce will play a key role in the game.
There is a water temple.
The forest temple seen in the trailer is the same temple from OoT.
There will be sword upgrades.
Ganon will be in Twilight Princess. (This one is an exact quote.)
There will be a lot of open space on the overworld.
The castle in the third trailer was Hyrule Castle.
So far, TSA only knows of Ganondorf's human form.
Weather is random, except for major occurances. (Simply, plot elements such as rain, snow in the mountains and other areas, stuff like that.)
Okay, apparently people who stumble into the Twilight Realm become more violent and aggressive. (Could possibly explain why Link was chained up as a wolf.)
Animals will play a large part in the game, and dungeons could focus on a specific animal.
Okay, possibly there's no war, but TSA was being a bit... ununderstandable so I'm not really sure what he meant. (Let's just go with a no on this one for now.)
Okay, I'm not up to reading the whole 41 pages on that sucker right now, but if you do, then you can. I have asked his some questions (Hopefully, if I can figure out how to post there.) that he should answer, as of which I will put up here. Well, just say what you think, like always.

We already commented on this in the Twilight Princess Hype thread. Go there.

I did, I just wanted to post something else. I figure that here people could perhaps tell me things to ask him or something of the sort. If this needs closed, I don't really mind. I can just put the thing in my sig or something. Anyways, anyone who wants me to ask TSA something about Twilight Princess, then just tell me, and also say what you think about what he's said so far. Okay, so, here's the post that I made there, just so you guys know what to expect answers to within the next few days.
Okay, sorry if all these questions have been answered yet, but I didn't feel up to reading 30+ pages of people flaming you, TSA, the greatest Zelda player in the world, hand-picked sage at the official Nintendo forums, and record-holder for ALttP. (Yep, it's me again. Really, I'd like those tips sometime soon.) Okay, now on to my questions.
1. Will Dark Link be in the game?
2. What do you know of the Master Sword being in Twilight Princess?
3. How much like ALttP will the connection be between the Twilight Realm and Hyrule?
4. Are there Deku Scrubs? (In case you don't know, I love the little guys.)
5. Do you think it was sheer coincidence that the eye pattern on Midna's helmet looks almost exactly identical to the eyes on Majora's Mask?
6. Were those really bomb arrows we saw in the trailer, or just exploding dragons?
7. What, if any, possibilities do you think there will be if the Revolution controller is compatible with Twilight Princess in terms of the "virtual box" system?
8. Do you know anything of there being sages in this game? (i.e. Laruto and Fado?)
9. How does it feel to be getting an advance copy of Twilight Princess for the sake of mastering it before anyone else?
10. When do you expect us to be seeing demos in stores here in the U.S.?
11. Do you think the massive overworld is going to be a good thing or a bad thing?
12. Will the bokoblins have camps scattered across Hyrule Field that you can go Anakin Skywalker on?
13. Are the movements of enemies really as stiff as they are in the trailers? (Watch the older ones where Link knocks a bokoblin off its boar if you don't know what I mean. The bokoblin goes all rigid as he flies through the air.)
14. Will we be able to learn new sword attacks, such as the Hurricane Spin during the game?
Okay, that's all I've got for now. People, quit spamming TSA. He's far greater at Zelda games than ANY of us here, so don't go messing with him. You have the choice of believing what he says or not, just don't go spamming. Anyways, just answer those, TSA, alright? Really sorry if those have already been asked, I just didn't want to read through everything THEY had to say. *points at troublemakers*
Now, as to "THEY" and the "troublemakers", well, people were flaming and, quite possibly, doubting what TSA had to say. Now, I'm pretty sure that you guys won't, as you all know EXACTLY who he is (He seems like a great person, and by that, I mean he's got one beautiful girlfriend.), so I'll just put what he says here. Well, that's it for now, and, if this thread isn't closed due to similarities, then I will put up his answers to those questions. Oh, and about those tips I'm talking about, I PMed him asking for ALttP tips (I know, me asking for help with ALttP.) and he never answered. Anyways, that's it for me. Now it's your turn.

i was actually disapointed, i wanted a different end boss besides from ganondorf. anyway.....

by the exact same forest temple, does that mean all the puzzles, keys and stuff are the same? or are they similarly placed?

Well, it is supposedly the same dungeon, but as you have probably seen in the trailers, it is completely different in terms of puzzles. Which is good, in my opinion, as we need new things in Zelda games. Oh, by the way, is your BA character on a quest to stop Vaati, or what? I just thought of that, and I was wondering. Anyways, there's your answer.

ok, i guess it would be sort of weird to have EXACTLY the same temple.... weird.

and both my ba characters are going to be facing the same danger, when i get around to actually doing some more things with the ba instead of just making characters.:|

That doesn't make any sense that the forest temple from TP is the same one from OoT... It looks completely different. Besides, EA already confirmed that this forest temple used to be a place where people went to pray, but then it got abandoned and the apes started to live there.

In other words, more BS

It never said ganondorf was the end boss .. because he's not.

OO! OO! ask him if the twilight pincess is Zelda and if he could get a pic of gannon in TP somehow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ganon will be in Twilight Princess. (This one is an exact quote.)

hmm your right. after link slaying ganon a few times they'll become buddys and team up to destroy princess daisy.

I know you ment well, but this thread is probably going to become one massive flame-fest. Some people think TSA is just talking crap, while other believe him like they would Gamespot. If you need an example, look around page seven of the "Zelda Hype" thread. Just keep an eye on it.

Okay people, if TSA said that Ganondorf was in TP, then he's obviously the villain. Why would Ganondorf not be the villain in a console Zelda game? Sure, he wasn't the villain in Majora's Mask, but that one was pulled off well. Okay, it seems like some of you are doubting him. TSA is the world's single greatest Zelda player ever and is a hand-picked sage at the official Nintendo Nsider forums. Why would he lie? And, really, it's not like he's giving us yes or no answers, he's giving us all that he knows right now. If any of you start flaming TSA or anyone here, then I'll have a mod on you so quick you won't know what hit you. (Even though they DID touch my sig for being "too long". Stupid mod, it was like that for months and you didn't notice it until now? I'm not even gonna say anything.) If you come to this thread, then you will choose whether or not to believe TSA personally, but don't go flaming him if you don't believe him. Just completely ignore him if you think all this info is bull.

Actually, Aunuma released a statement a while ago which stated that Ganondorf would be in TP but would not be filling his usual role. read into that as you must, but to me it sounds like he will not be the main villain this time around. I'd really like to know what he will be doing though.

Maybe he's doing a raise-evil-from-the-dark-abyss rountine.

Right onn Master of ALTTP. If Gannon is in the game, he's the villian.
TSA is not gonna lie. HE'S THE GREATEST ZELDA PLAYER................EVER why would he lie? The info is good.

You actually think I'm going to believe a guy just because he's so called "the greatest zelda player ever"?

Basicly you're saying that he's getting all of this info just because he's one of the best zelda gamers out there. Seems like more BS to me. He gives way to much info for his own good if you know what I mean, you can't tell me you can trust this guy 100%, if you do, that's just plain stupid.
