New Hyrule CONFIRMED!

well you said both ways...

Well, maybe this will suffice your dirty mind.

Moving along to some more serious business...

Say hello to Miss Maku Tree:



Why is she so damn happy? Well for one, she's endured a long healthy life at beating the odds:



Secondly, ever since meeting Link she's been spreading her roots willingly for his return:



And thirdly, because she's in a different land from Hyrule (much like her brother), Link can go and come as he pleases when he's tired of her bitching.


You wouldn't want to go on and kill her now... would you?

lololol

Needs more acknowledgment. Because that's honestly a good point- why is the land growing here over time due to the spread of forests, and then a game introduced about turning islands into larger landforms by the spreads of forests, if this concept is irrelevant?

Did the Deku tree say he was actually trying to turn islands into landmasses by planting trees? Or did he say he was just trying to grow forests on the sea? I don't get how planting trees could possibly expose land. I credit the eustacy to climate change! Hahaha. Maybe these magical trees are somehow chilling the air and causing the ice caps to grow, lowering the sea levels!!

I have an imaginary magical PhD in imaginary magical trees and I know for an imaginary magical fact that enough imaginary magical trees can dry up an imaginary magical flood.

He said "trees can turn a small island into a much larger island."

And River Zora gave a good example in a recent thread of how this is grounded in real-world ideas.

I don't get (either of) your face(s).

All across the map you can see straight lines that bend and split into spirals (obviously these represent as tracks). Well if you look near the South East coast line there seems to be a small island and what looks to be a viking ship. What's so interesting about this? There are train tracks that reach across the water! Link may not have a ship anymore, but will there be some sort of Aqua train upgrade that will able Link to travel over water?

I'd also like to note how there's usually Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water Dungeons in Zelda games, so if this is the case, take a look at those tracks on the map again. There are four main tracks that start from the Tower and reach out across the corners of the continent. In the North East we have a Volcano (most likely the Fire Temple), in the South East we have the Ocean (Water Temple), in the South West we have a Forest (Wind Temple), and in the North West we have Mountain Rages (most likely the Earth Temple).

If you look at this picture, you can see on the top screen that the Tower is located on the North East corner and since Link is wearing his conductor's uniform and we know the first dungeon will take place in the forest (where he will get that Whirlwind item and fight the giant Beetle boss), I believe it's safe to assume that we start off the game in the South West corner of the world map, work our way to the North West corner, South East corner, and finally the North East corner just like what we did in Phantom Hourglass.

Or you just get to ride on a huge train bridge across the sea, that would be kind-of cool

That does seem more realistic (why didn't I think of that). But the point I'm trying to make is ST may very well have a Water Dungeon! And considering in tWW Link could swim but in PH he couldn't, I don't see the harm of Link obtaining Flippers in order to swim for an allotted amount of time (like in tWW).

Have you ever wondered why simply putting flippers on your feet magically made you know how to swim?

This is the best thing I've EVER read on this Forum.

And it seems like we're both right. If you look at the latest 2 minute video, you'll see at the 54 second mark of the trailer that the Tracks indeed go over the ocean (on a train bridge of course).

-BGS

actually if you looked closely at the 3 minute video you could tell tracks went over the water, because the short segment at the water town place, if you look at the map on the top screen, the tracks are over water. Got to pay attention for that kind of stuff

This now poses the questions:

Which games are set in New Hyrule?

I'm guessing that LoZ and AoL are.
