Spirit Tracks Timeline Placement Announced?

Yes hence the speculation, believe you me I take comments made before release with a mountain of salt

I think I should point out here that it's not somebody from GameTrailers speaking in that video. It's David Young from Nintendo of America.

i thought phatoms were bad from pH

I don't trust anything like this that's not from some Zelda only place like here that knows what they're talking about

That placement sound plausible but i don't believe in GT. And i still think that ST don't follow WW-PH.

Thanks for that update
I was wondering who the speaker was...

yeah i always thought that ST is before TMC.
Yeah i believe TMC is the first Zelda taking place in New Hyrule in the AT.

i think they're right, but not just because. the reason behind my resoning is that nintendo absolutly LOVES to use 100 year intervals in between games.

I for one now consider this statement valid. Reason being...

-This wasn't Game Trailers member as it was shown to be a Developer Walkthrough
-As casual Matt said, it was David Young of Nintendo of America

proof:
Gametrailers Vid
G4 TV Interview with David Young

Compare both the voices in the video, same voice / accent*

ehh can we believe NoA on this?

EDIT: btw, damn, i think i really wanted ST to be project deluge

[/sarcasm]

How did he manage to do that?

On second thought, please don't answer that.

Hmmm... that makes sense... after all, they do have mine carts in MC...

*thumbs up*

EDIT: Ack! Sorry for the double post!

Well, they're probably more reliable than GameTrailers themselves.

It's hard to say...I dont particularly trust NoA, but if Mr. Young was simply reporting what he'd been told by the higher ups, and thus, NoJ, then this would be legit.

Ok so I replied to this thread and it posted my reply like 3-4 back of where it should have been.

Anywho check out my above comment to determine if you think it actually is David Young, I for one believe so

Normally I wouldn't trust GT but this makes sense. At the moment ST doesn't seem to be plausible if it isn't near PH or AoL.

A video just popped up in Zelda Dungeon of an interview (not with game trailers) where a nintendo employee states

Spirit Tracks takes place in the same universe as Phantom hourglass........a hundred years after it.......all new Link.

Here's the video:

Same Youtube Video as ZD

According to the video (from what i understood) as you upgrade your train, it increases in speed. Maybe the shift in the train's design (from the first trailer) was an upgrade?.

Excellent find cirfelo!

It is him.

The previously posted video is just a part of a E3 Nintendo Booth Tour with David Young.

Mmm it seems that ST is 100 years after PH, anyways we need to wait.
