News has been circulating the Internet about some leaked Zelda Wii information. The post containing this news apparently originated on 2chan, a popular Japanese site that has leaked correct information in the past on popular games such as Metal Gear Solid 4, Resident Evil 4 and 5, and the Kingdom Hearts series.
So if this newest batch of information is also true, what can we look forward to? I have edited the list slightly to eliminate previously confirmed points such as the changed dungeon-field-dungeon formula.
Now have a look after the jump.
- You can select whether you’re right or left-handed, and Link will have the same handedness as you
- The basic mechanics and gameplay elements are done, and they’re currently working on the story, dungeons and developing characters. Among them are an innkeeper in the town where Link lives and her young son, who looks up to him
- The girl on the Zelda Wii picture is not the master sword, and as of now there are no plans for Link to get the Master Sword in the game. Her name is Aderu, and she’s not your typical companion like Ezlo or Midna, in that she’s rarely there with you.
- Link’s main weapon is a sword with different unlockable abilities, which Aderu communicates with you through
- Horseback combat is back, with a more intelligent Epona that is better at avoiding obstacles
- The character models for Link, Epona, and the Gorons have all been modified and touched up, but they’re the only ones.
- This Link is the Hero of Time
- There will be time traveling.
- The game will take place not only in Hyrule (maybe not Hyrule at all).
Whether all or any of these are true… well, it’s up to you to form your own opinions. Of course, we already have a thread up on this, so go wild!
Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland was released only in Japan and Europe, never making it to the USA due to lackluster sales. Surprisingly, the game was well-received among those who did play and review the game. You play as Tingle, a 35-year-old (and single) man lost in the world. Guided by the mysterious figure Uncle Rupee, Tingle fills a mystical spring with money and gain access to the wonderful Rupeeland, a paradise where nobody has to work. Along the way, hire body guards to protect Tingle – but from what? All may not be as it seems in Tingle’s quest for monetary gain, and Rupeeland just might not be so rosy after all...
Perhaps the reason he can’t have the master sword is because if he takes it then Ganondorf will return or just how it was in OoT. This could mean Ganondorf won’t return either.
Do I wish this was true?
Handedness choise=yes
Only a few new character models=no
Exciting stuff, even if it is fake it's fun to speculate.
Link as the Hero of Time has got me thinking. What happened to young Link after MM is left unexplored. After he left Termina what happened to him? Did he ever find Navi as the prologue suggested?
Can't wait for E3, I hope we see something awesome.
I am hopefull this game will be the Hero Of Time that is mentioned before the Ocarina of Time, Hyrule hasn’t been founded yet, and The Master Sword not forged.
Although there are some believable points, there's a few counter productive points. The biggest glaring one is that the Link in this Zelda game is the "Hero of Time" and although it's likely that this statement implies he's a completely different Link from Ocarina's… there's a bit of an issue in the fact that he has no Master Sword, which is essentially what made the Hero of TIme… well the Hero of TIme as the Master Sword was the key to traveling through time.
The info about the girl not being the Master Sword isn't surprising as it's totally the fan assumption to make based on her appearance. Other stuff about modified character models makes sense as well. Same with the fact that the game will also take place in other regions other then Hyrule, which is what was essentially the goal in Twilight Princess, except that Ordon for the most part doesn't feel like it's separate from Hyrule at all. So with a bigger game and larger overworld they may be seeking to increase the amount of other regions that interact with Hyrule.
All interesting and speculative. Can't wait for the first trailer. Very stoked for it!
Maverickk,
I agree with what you say, but you know what I was thinking… what if this game is going to pick up where MM left off? I mean, all it ends with is Link heading back through the woods in search if a dear friend, which many believe it's Navi. But, it never did conclude and tell us if he found her or not. I think it would be really cool to pick up from that and give us a bridge leading from MM to tWW.
I also thought it would be cool if Ganondorf was in thegame, yet someone bigger and badder, and much more serious came out and literally snatched the Triforce of Power from him, leaving him defensless and what seems to be mortal. So in his desperation and anger, he goes crawling to Link and Zelda in hopes to defeat the truly evil nemisis. It would be such a twist because think about it, fighting along side someone who has always been on the other side of the sword for so long…. It would basically be like X-Men Legends 2: Rise of Apocolypse , where the X-Men and the Brotherhood team up in order to be strong enough to defeat the enemy.
) Either way, Zelda will still be cool, cause fans should love it for the way it is…
Just a thought, but I think either one of those would be so cool. I'm sure Nintendo will think of something completely amazing either way. And as long as it mentions The Master Sword or has like a past of Ganondorf, I'll be ok. I would also like to see the return of the Ocarina, if not then a instrument like it ( but then again, I'm a badn person so it's expected… Go Drumline
I've beat OOT and played Majora's Mask, so i'm really glad about the HERO OF TIME being in the game! But no master sword??? Only Link, Epona, and the gorons being the only updated textures?! Now isn't that stupid! Oh well, we'll see if this is real or fake soon in E3 2010…
read my post on page 2, it will probably NOT be the link from OoT
people should really read the other posts put before putting their 2 cents in, read my post on page 2, it will probably NOT be the link from OoT
Agreed, it's likely to be another Hero of TIme… someone who has taken on the same title as Link from OoT and MM.
That could be right.
some of this is not true. I read interviews and look at truly leaked info. my main website to go to for stuff like this is http://zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Zelda_Wii and it says some stuff that you people on this site would like. Have fun fellow zelda nerds
For those of you that are getting annoyed at the whole concept of the "Hero of Time" thing again just remember that at the end of ocarina of time, Zelda sends link back to his young life, before he even got the Master Sword which makes 2 different Zelda Universe's. The old Link in which The Wind Waker is set where you have the biggest and most baddass boss fight out of all the Zelda games at the end. And the other ending of Link being young again where the Sacred Realm was never opened so Gannondorf could never get the Triforce or destroy Hyrule which sets of the start of Majoras Mask where he goes looking for his friend in the woods which is Navi or the Forest Sage (I forget her name).
So, if you managed to make sense of that, it could simply be a direct sequel to Majoras mask where he gets back from Termina and the story unfolds or Majoras Mask could never have happened and the "Friend" he was looking for could have been the girl.
Just an idea
I think that the girl, Aderu, helpes Link travel though time.
How can you people have any doubts that this game will be awesome. It is a Zelda game, to me that means that I am going to love it. Also don't cry about the master sword its not gone forever and some of you appear to be getting the wrong idea about some things.( FharohVII, gannodork, ZeldaNoob, Pinsnow and First commenter) for one thing isn't link always the Hero Of Time because he is "reincarnated" through-out time to save the world not because he time travels and he doesn't have the master sword so I doubt the game is connected to the ocarina of time. the new sword is also most likely not mechanical this is based in a sort of middle ages time and they have had very few mechanical devices in Zelda games the sword is probably mystical sword forged by Aderu who for all we know (which is little by the way) she could very well be the great fairy or heck she could even be one of the triforce gods as an avatar. the sword probably won't have any kind of attachments my Guess is that this is something like in Twilight Princess where you learned new moves from the skeleton or in the windwaker where you learned new techniques from the old sword master. Aderu is also probably going to be just like Minda navi or the boat in the windwaker she will communicate with Link through the sword and give him clues and tips. Now that all that is sorted out some things I hope will be added are Aderu being both sassy and slightly annoying like Minda not quiet and solemn as she appears in the graphic. also I dont want Zelda to be cursed or captured but she should probably only be with link in the cartoon versions and the hand held games. One of the most important things i want is for Zelda and Link to have some sort of relationship nothing lovey-dovy but some thing deep with meaning. they should also include the wii motion plus with the game so nobody has to go out and buy it. they should still have mini games with prizes and the should include something the life like versions never had muiltiplayer like maybe an arena where you battle another link it should also have a computer setting in case you dont have anyone to play against. they should include leveling up the claw-shot is a must have of course and they should of course include magic abilities like transformation or the ability to influence and control animals or at least something like that. for now that is about it.
for the most part i agree with you, but on the multiplayer i think thats a little questionable. maybe a multiplayer arena mode would be fun, but i think a MMO would be fun too especially if they increased the difficulty as more players were added to your "party." but this would be only allowing people you know and want to join in with you to play. and more upgradeable objects would be more interesting and fun to play.
You will be able to travel into a more ‘steampunk’ influenced atmosphere.
one thing doesn't make sense. if the master sword isn't in the game, HOW CAN LINK BE THE HERO OF TIME??!?!!!??!???
Um-the Master Sword wasn't in Majora's Mask….or any of the Four Swords games……
i hope the part about being about being left handed is true. im a leftie in real life so TP was a big akward for me ^^
I just hope that this is a Mojora's Mask sequel.
I spelled Majora wrong 0_o
I hope this comes out in 2010 because of my birthday.
I have a feeling that this Zelda game may not be as good as Twilight Princess. I was really hoping that Midna would be in the new game, and the whole concept that it may not even be in Hyrule makes me very upset. The time traveling does sound really cool, and that Link is the hero of time is cool as well. And also the Master Sword really should be in the game. I guess I will just have to wait until the game comes out though…
Give the people who work on the game their freedom, people. Don't start with 'i want this, i don't want that' blabber blabber.
Besides, speculation isn't interesting at all. Wait for the game to come out, play it, and only then you can have an opinion about it.
What I think is that Zelda Wii will be a prequel to TWW, as you see in the opening "stained-glass legend" sequence "What became of that kingdom? None remain who know." I think that young Link from MM will grow up and return as an adult to Hyrule to battle this new evil presence, and the story will unfold and eventually explain how Hyrule was submerged, and perhaps tie other timelines together as well.
Poop and pee!
