Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks

hmm...

I still think it would have been beter to use the OOT style graphics for it. Get that cartoon crap outta there.

I like Wind Waker's design. At first I hated it, but after I played the game it was awesome. Actually I like both styles.

WW was a great game, but the art style irks me to HELL.

also, steam engines? what happened to medieval era Zelda? If they give Link a gun I'll personally mail Shiggy a box of excrement.

Edit: as a side note, OoT Looked alot better than PH, so console power's not an excuse.

I thought it was just too childish. I mean Zelda was never an adult game, but Zelda appeals to both. WW style, I think, just takes it too far into the kids relm.

I also think that TP went to far toward the adult relm and that's how it lost alot of it's Zelda feel. However I still prefer it to both WW and PH. (though I like all three)

I have to admit, in Wind Waker, atleast the boats looked like they belonged in the time-period. PH's steam boat was pushing it, but I really don't know what to think about ST's train.

Every else about the game looks good so far... but the train seems to be pushing it... I... I just don't know what to think. (Though I'll still be preordering my copy and picking it up when it comes out. 🙂 And playing it non-stop until I have beaten it.)

I just hope that Over-world travel isn't strictly train-driven. I like to explore.

I loved Windwaker personally, everything about it.

This could be alright I guess.

I'd like to point out OoT and MM were both more adult than TP. The original edition of OoT in the gold cart had red blood, which sprays everywhere when you stab Ganon in the face at the end. These were probably the best Zelda games ever in 3d.

WW was great, I just hate the Celda look, it's out of place.

Graphics virtually don't really mean a damn thing when it comes to making a good game IMO.

No, the concepts, ways people spoke and acted were more childish in OOT and MM. Especially MM. Red blood means nothing to whether or not the game is more adult.

And, look at the ratings between the 3 games. Where OOT and MM had an E rating, Twilight Princess had the T rating.

TP had more adult themes than OOT and MM.

I couldn't agree more completely. Graphics are like ketchup. Food still tastes good without it, but it does enhance the experience many foods.

I liked it. Didn't like the graphical style they chose, but it didn't really take from the game itself. Traveling the ocean got alittle boring after awhile... or annoying if those blasted sharks were attacking...

But I hate... HATE... HATE the Puppet Ganon battle. HATE IT... Though the Ganondorf battle did make up for it.

Graphics aren't important to an extent, there's a point where they effect your immersion, because Link looks like a power puff girl..

But yeah, I disagree, MM was alot darker than TP, and OoT had to be toned down for it's E rating, hence green blood and no chanting and such in the later editions.

I don't really have a problem with the look, I just really didn't like the stylus controls with phantom hourglass and really hope they change that. I've already voiced that i'm one of the people that has his own timeline worked out and doesn't buy the split time line BS so from the looks of the game, the plot either takes place before Ocarina of Time or after Phantom Hourglass.

This has to be a new Link, for the record. Each Link gets two games. No Link has ever had more.

What makes you think that that can't change?

my point was geared more towards the controls and how i hoped this game was more traditional then phantom. Hell, I liked Tingle's Balloon Fight more than Phantom Hourglass

I will admit, my parents never got me an N64, and so had to wait to play OOT and MM on the Game Cube, so I never got to play it as it was originally released.

It's obviously a new Link. What is shown in the trailer would not fit with any other Link.

I havn't seen enough information to try to place it in a timeline yet.

I have my own timeline that works with the split timeline theory, and my own personal reincarnation/recycled soul theory to explain why all the Links are so damn similiar. [When Shiggy took away single Link theory I replaced it with single Link soul, many Link bodies theory!] ..Except for the Toon Links, they're a seperate group entirely.

I've sorted all the Toon games, such as four swords, WW, Minish cap, PH, and such into the timeline without Link.

I also have a semi working theory that OoT Link actually got five games, which is the theory I apply less often...

I took the bait D: I'm a bad man.

Not bad theroies though. I do think that there either has to be a split at the OOT timeline, or Link never truly returned to Hyrule after MM.

They couldn't do any other visual approach besides WW on the DS. Everything else would be to complicated.

I agree it works.

Why? OOT has basically the same graphics as Super Mario 64 and look at 64 DS.

And not only that, but they look beter on the DS. Why couldn't they have gone with an OOT style? Why would it be complicated?

What are you talking about!?!?! OoT was a landmark graphic approach. It shouldn't even be compared to Super Mario 64.
