They want to use her body to house a demon. So she could be dead.

Oh, well, that makes perfect sense.

I'm gonna be cynical and say that Zelda's not dead and that her spirit is gonna pop back into the body at the end of the game, just in time for things to end happily ever after. Also, Link will probably have to fight another possesed Zelda.

Well of course. I'm also assuming that Nintendo of America is going to censor it by saying that it was some sort of spell to separate her soul from her body, but let's face it, for all intents and purposes, she's dead until the end (or whenever she inevitably gets her body back).

Well, not really. Being incorporeal is different from being 'dead'.

At least I think it is...

What I'm saying is that regardless of what the localizations say, I'm pretty sure they killed her. That'd make taking her body a lot easier.
At least, I think that'd be cooler, anyway.

I think that this is close to what we'll see.


Unless of course she DOESN'T enter her body again, which is actually what I would prefer.
Then I would call her dead.

I think this plot would be great. They should make a game that has this plot.

Good ol' Billy Crystal.

Personally, I think the storyline is great, the music is amazing. But that's my opinion

Great storyline. I'm happy that Zelda will be playing a bigger role in this game than previous Zelda titles.

I hope that the gameplay gets a massive revamp to balance out the revamp in story.

Well seeing that ST is using the same engine as PH, gameplay will be exactly the same. Story will be awesome (hopefully better than PH) then I'll be set.

I'm interesting in the story and all, but I'm not looking forward to the gameplay(and controls). I didn't like it that much in PH either.

The controls didn't bother me at all in PH, not even getting Link to somersault (all you have to do is move the stylus back and forth in a quick swipe at the edge of the screen and it works). PH was just alright for a Zelda game, but hopefully ST will be better.

I'm not holding my breath, though-- it doesn't look to innovate in much more than the story.

I have always wanted a main character to be hurt. I like reading books like that.

I'm excited for the game. I didn't mind PH's controls much anyways.

I loved the controls in Phantom Hourglass, but the dungeon design was at best tedious and at worst a soul crushing revelation that the game has barely changed over 11 games and 18 years since Link to the Past.

Well...um... to me it was.

The controls in PH didn't bother me much, it's just my DS screen was all dirty while I played (even after I quickly cleaned it) and sometimes Link wouldn't react to the stylus being swiped on the screen.

The screen is cleaner now after I've spent some time cleaning it, so bring on ST.

The story is the thing that interests me most right now. Having Zelda die is a good idea from Nintendo, and I can't wait to see how they make it work.

If the gameplay hasn't improved than it will not be better than PH in my eyes.

Nevermind that gameplay is only a way of enjoying the content of the game. You should worry about that instead of your precious gameplay, honestly.

And as we all know, nothing is good enough in your eyes.
