FYI, I unstickied this because, well, I didn't really get why it was stickied in the first place, and enough people talk about Zelda that it'll remain available.

I'm done with that part... it just took me a while. Then I got down to Hyrule, and died for the first time in the stupid game. Ehhh.... it'll take me awhile to get that part, as I actually have to fight. That's my brother's job... the only reason he's ahead of me is because I help him get through the confusing parts. Bleach.

Some bad/good news, depending on your point of view. Zelda Delayed to Next Year Twilight Princess development team requests extra time to make it a better game.August 16, 2005 - Nintendo announced this morning that its anticipated new adventure game, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, has been delayed. The title, formerly scheduled to debut this November around the world, has since been postponed to 2006 so that the developer can continue to make the game better. "After much discussion, the Zelda development team has requested extra time to add new levels, more depth and even higher quality to Zelda: Twilight Princess," said Nintendo of America's vice president of corporate affairs, Perrin Kaplan. "Consequently, we're announcing a new global launch in 2006, after the conclusion of this fiscal year (March 31). We'll provide a specific date at a later point in time. While this may come as a disappointment to many eager fans, it will absolutely enrich the game and make it a multi-million seller." Twilight Princess, developed by Nintendo and directed by Majora's Mask overseer Eiji Aonuma, was previously set to be the company's big holiday game. In fact, analysts expected the game to be Nintendo's single greatest deterrent to consumers potentially interested in Microsoft's next-generation console, Xbox 360, which is set for a November launch. The delay leaves Nintendo without a major holiday release on GameCube. In the epic adventure, a 17-year-old Link travels across a gritty, realistic world and is able to move into an alternate dark land called the Twilight Realm, where he transforms into a wolf. Twilight Princess won a number of considerations by critics when it was presented in playable form at the Electronics Entertainment Expo. However, even then, members of the development team hinted in interviews that they would have to work overtime in order to meet a holiday release. Speaking with IGN, Kaplan elaborated on the delay of the new Zelda. She explained that Nintendo has not yet committed to a new release date for the game, except to say that it would arrive sometime after March 2006. "But it will be worth the wait," she added. Asked whether Nintendo would launch any previously unannounced GameCube titles this holiday to stand in for Zelda, Kaplan pointed to already-shown software. "Of course, we don't suggest that any game can replace the unique nature of Zelda. However, GameCube owners have an excellent lineup of new games from which to choose, including Battalion Wars, Mario Super Baseball, Fire Emblem, Super Mario Strikers, Pokemon XD, and a host of great new games from third party publishers," the Nintendo executive stated. "Add to this a plethora of great DS games, the launch of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and several Wi-Fi games (Mario Kart DS, Animal Crossing DS, etc.), plus the launch of Micro (which will be hot!), and there is a lot for consumers to choose from." With Twilight Princess being pushed in 2006, some Nintendo fans are wondering if the game might ultimately be killed for GameCube and instead repositioned as a launch title for Revolution, the Big N's next-generation platform. Revolution is set to launch sometime in the second half of 2006, according to sources. According to Kaplan, though, the game is still scheduled to ship for GameCube. "In effect, because of the backward compatibility built into Revolution, every GameCube game also will be a Revolution title," she said. "But we feel a commitment to the GameCube owners who've been patiently awaiting this new Zelda title, and don't want to force them to wait and buy a brand new system in order to play the game." Kaplan dismissed the notion that the delay of Zelda would put Nintendo in a tricky situation as GameCube owners decide whether or not to stick with the system or purchase Microsoft's new console this November. "I think we are talking two different things here," she said. "Those who love Zelda will be thrilled when it arrives, and we believe will still want to purchase it even though the wait might have been a disappointment." The Nintendo spokesperson also had a message for GameCube owners deflated by this latest delay. "Our message is that we understand what a disappointment this is solely because we know people are eager to play Zelda," she said. "The philosophy of 'quality-first' still lives within Nintendo and it's something we won't compromise on. When Zelda game arrives, we hope to hear that players are thrilled with it and believe the wait was worth it. We think it will be." Nintendo has released seven new screenshots of the game in motion. Readers are directed to our images section for new shots of Link exploring a populated town and manipulating the snow as the wolf. Link: cube.ign.com/articles/642/642238p1.htmlPics: i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/MFB/sweetocean.jpgi4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/MFB/thankyounintendo.jpgi4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/MFB/justwow.jpgi4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/MFB/awesomelyhugetown.jpgi4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/MFB/deathtothebat.jpgi4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/MFB/niceblood.jpgi4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/MFB/whattheheck.jpgI personally think this is great. I wouldn't have the time to play it this fall anyways, with college, so spring/summer is just great for me. Plus, I really want this to be the absolute best game ever. These screens solidify my thoughts on this. Snow, huge towns, ocean, along with the already released forest, fire, castle, sewers, mountain, river, and field screens. Take note of a few intriguing details in these pics. Look at the snowy picture. Notice that Link is not in the Twilight Realm? And Midna is absent. Also, in the "niceblood" pic, Link has the lamp attached to his belt. Also interesting. And look closely at "awesomelyhugetown." The interaction between NPCs (Non-Player Characters) is very exciting. One mother seems to be holding her daughter, another guy is talking to a woman, and a young kid races alongside you. People seem to have either scripted actions, or can change their actions to interact more realistically with their surroundings.

I havn't read all that post yet (too long) but I did see this; a new, to me, Zelda trailer in EBGames that showed Link's transformation into the wolf and when he meats Midna. It was AWESOME. Cy out.

That game looks, dare I say, pretty. I mean, it's so...cool! WOOHOO! The...the everything. *words fail me* I guess it's good they delay it if it's gonna be better. I sense a 'Best Game of all Time" award, no Zelda-related pun intended. That monster in the last pic looks like a Gungan zombie...

Too bad I don't have an X-box.
Is it true Mega Man and Zelda have the same creators? I know they were both made by nitendo, but other then that were they both by the same people? I ask this because The zelda tunes I downloaded awhile ago are very similar to the Mega Man ones I have...and I LOVE Mega Man. That was my childhood game. I remember not being able to beat some of the hard parts so My brother and I would get my neighbor to do it. We always thought he was like the game god because he could beat anything...plus my brother and I were very young. This was on Nitendo, mind you...the original Nitendo, which I still have believe it or not.

We always thought he was like the game god because he could beat anything...plus my brother and I were very young. This was on Nitendo, mind you...the original Nitendo, which I still have believe it or not. Actually, that's a common misconseption. Just because a game is on a certain system, doesn't necesarrily mean it's made by that company. Mega Man is a trademark of Capcom, not Nintendo. Capcom develops the game, owns all the rights to it, and can market it for whichever system they choose. The games were exclusivly on Playstation a few years back, that was after the Super NES. Nintendo doesn't own anything to do with Mega Man. And Mega Man and Zelda DEFINENTLY don't share the same roots. Zelda was created by Shigeru Miyamoto, the same genius behind Mario, Donkey Kong, Star Fox, Pikmin, and so many other great Nintendo games. Also, for the record, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is only on GameCube. Not X-Box, not PS2, nor any other system. Sadly, I don't think Zelda will winf Game of the Year for 2006. With Xbox 360, PS3, and Revolution all out, this Gen will become Last Gen. And I doubt any games from "Last Gen" will win the GotY award. But if, by some miricle, the Acadamy of Interactive Arts and Achievements regognises Zelda's greateness, it'll be a testomony to the game's excellence. I have absolutely no doubt that this WILL exceed Ocarina as the best Zelda, which in turn would make it an all-time great, but the media is...well, ignorant of such games. They usually only go for the prettiest looking games that have the most hype. Right now, Zelda IS that, but in 2006 there will also be Halo 3, MGS 4, Gears of War, and other such violent shooters that the Acadamy seems to favor. (i.e., Goldeneye 007, Halo, Half-Life, etc.)
