Nintendo doing anything possible to not admit Wand of Gamelan exists

[-] DrPop@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Don't forget Zelda's Adventure too.

[-] emmanuel_car@kbin.run 4 points 2 weeks ago

At least in the direct they didn’t say “for the first time”

[-] WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

You can play as Zelda in Spirit Tracks (Zelda in ghost form, that is).

[-] Spesknight@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago

It should be called "Legend of Link"

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

Been a minute since we’ve had a top-down Zelda game that you can play on the couch.

This looks like it might scratch my A Link to the Past itch.

[-] Alteon@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Look at the map. It looks like the LttP top down map, or at least a similar throwback to it.

[-] WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

The town in the middle looked more like Minish Cap than anything else IMO

[-] Alteon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

You can see the East Temple, the Rock Field, and Hyrule castle.

I'm pretty sure the trailer even shows that this is a direct sequel to Link to the Past.

[-] jacksilver@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Oh god, I hope they didn't reuse the map for a third game. This game looks so promising, but that would really put a damper on it.

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, this looks a bit like LttP HD and ALBW. At least from the stills; I haven't watched the videos yet.

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 3 points 2 weeks ago

I hate the art style. Makes me curious if we see the dark world again though.

[-] cafuneandchill@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Post-Wii Nintendo seems to be allergic to 2d and pixel art stylez

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

The art style is what excites me the most. This is like next-gen Link to the Past.

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 0 points 2 weeks ago

That's quite the insult to the beautiful pixel art of Link to the Past.

[-] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Didn't they remake Link's Awakening?

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, good point. I wonder if this is the same engine.

[-] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago

Everyones acting like this is to the first time

we had two games on the cdi where we could play zelda

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Are we really surprised that people didn’t know CD-i Zelda games existed?

[-] Mandy@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 weeks ago

people would act like it no matter how popular any previous zeld playable game would be

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I don’t know about that. A lot of us didn’t even know these CD-I games existed. Hell, I was a 90’s kid that subscribed to game magazines, and my only real exposure to it was some random educational games that my school bought and then never really used.

If you go around and ask 40 somethings if they played CD-I games, you’re going to get a lot of people who say “what was that?”

[-] Kadaj21@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

While I was disappointed we didn’t get a badass Zelda to play in Tears of the Kingdom, I’m glad there’s at least something focusing on her. Since it’s giving ALTTP vibes I’ll probably give this a play at some point.
