I'm not joking, this is real and planet gamecube confirmed this.
check it out right here:

Apparently they're keeping the cel-shaded look. I think thats fine,
as long as they're able to make it more captivating. Because I didn't feel as if being a hero of the winds was any big deal. I didn't effect anybody important during the sidequests. Sure, I helped an old woman settle down her students, and fixed a broken faris wheel but I want something better than that. There are few exceptions though such as healing your sick Grandma but I wanted more sidequests like that.

Sorry that I just kept ranting on pointlessly but what are your thoughts on the Sequel to WW? I know there's Tetra's Tracker and Four Swords but the director said himself that this one will be like MM to OoT so it must be a sequel.

[color=indigo]You know, I was half expecting something like this to happen. Escpecially after seeing the ending to The Wind Waker, and how it sets up for a sequal perfectly with Link and the pirates [spoiler]sailing off to a new land[/spoiler]. I also have a feeling this is going to be another one of those "side quest" Zelda games, like The Adventure of Link, Link's Awakening, and Majora's Mask, where Ganon and the Triforce have a very small, if any, role in the game.

Of course, as with any Zelda game, I'm looking forward to this. I wonder when we'll start getting screen shots and more info, though. Maybe at Spaceworld (if Nintendo has it this year) in August, if they're planning on having it playable at E3 2004.

Whee, three new Zelda games to be excited about. That's a new record. ^_^[/color]

I'm sure that many people already expected this. After all, all console generations have 2 Zeldas (counting GB and SNES as the same generation).
However, I'm worried about [spoiler]Aryll not appearing, since she didn't go with them.[/spoiler]

Considering what Aonuma has been doing to connect the games, I wouldn't be surprised to see the end of this one hinting at the story of an older Zelda.

[color=indigo]Yeah, I'm really hoping the end of this next one will connect a little more to A Link to the Past. Connecting The Wind Waker and A Link to the Past is a bit hard.

*sees addition to your signature* Heh, don't worry about it. ^_^[/color]

[size=1]I've heard there was a thir dinstallment that used the more realistic (non-cel-shaded) graphics. Although I've come to love the cel-Shaded graphics. The smoke and bombs effects. Very cool.

But what would the third game be like? If there is one?[/size]

I'm sure that there will not be a third Zelda title on the Gamecube. The reason that they can get another title out is because they will be using the same graphics and engine. If they were to start from the ground up on a realistic-looking game they would need several years to do so. Maybe (and hopefully) we will get to see this on the GCN's successor. Anyway, did they even START the second one yet?

"In the interview, Aonuma confirms that he is already working on a follow-up to The Wind Waker, much like Majora's Mask was a follow-up to Ocarina of Time."

[color=indigo]So, yeah, the second one is already in development; they probably started on it soon after they finished TWW. Personally, I'm betting on a Q4 2004 or Q1 2005 release. That'd give them about two years to work on it, which is about how long MM was release after OOT.[/color]

They have been making a realistic one.It was shown with a battle(Link vs. Ganon) at E3.It just it is not progressing as fast (favorly,i am happy of that;I like cel-shaded);actually,progressing very slowly.it is because cel-shading a game is a LOT EASIER than making a realistic one.they will probably put the realistic opbne,like Dan Rugh said,on the gamecube's descendant.


oh well...so im stupid...i dont know these things...

Actually, cel-shading is much more complex to do than traditional rendering. Just ask any person with experience on 3d graphics. A better reason on the slow progress with a realistic Zelda is because they would need a new engine (since the current one was made with cel-shading in mind).

[color=indigo]That movie of Link fighting Ganondorf from way back was just a movie they whipped up to show off the GCN's graphics. It wasn't actually from a game, that's just the graphic style they originally had planned for The Wind Waker. I haven't heard anything at all about Nintendo making a realistic-style Zelda game. I've heard that they might in the future, but that there are no plans for one right now.[/color]

An idea just came to me. What if when Tetra and Link [spoiler]went to discover new land, Link is grown up and the new land they discovered is already inhabited and on it is countries that at a full blown war with each other[/spoiler]. One of the larger countries kidnaps Tetra because it has an evil priest who knows that only the one who posses the Triforce of Wisdom can summon up an ancient warrior who's so great that he can cast a wind of chaos and death by just a wave of his sword and he'll be at the command of whoever wanted him to be summoned. Link shows the people of other countries to be brave and unite and stop the war, by his show of courage, the people helped Link get back Tetra and gave him weapons to aid on his quest to fight the ancient warrior.


So what do you guys think? I hope it's not to dark.

[color=indigo]Added some [spoiler] tags. Please remember to use them in the future, since there are probably still quite a few people that haven't beaten TWW yet. - Desbreko[/color]

hmm that idea sounds to much like a final fantasy game and besides it woudltn work with how they ended it. [spoiler]Sure they left an all, but at the end someone said something that meant the wouldnt find an inhabitted island.[/spoiler]

[color=indigo]Again, spoiler tags please! Anything having to do with TWW's ending should have spoiler tags around it. - Desbreko[/color]

Yes, it will be they're fastest record for a zelda game so far, i think. the better games however are the ones that they take their time (to many words that start with "t":cross: )on. Also, at the next E3, a new NInteno Platform will make an appearance. :D

[color=indigo]Yeah, there was already a thread on this before, but I can just merge them. *does so, and changes the original title to make it more clear* :)

And yeah, I've been hearing that both the TWW sequel and Metroid Prime 2 will be coming out next year. Still, I don't know about the shortest time in between Zelda games. There was only 15 months in between the first two games, so if the TWW sequal isn't released in June 2004 or before, it won't be the shortest.

Also, I'm confident that they can turn out a good game. After all, it's going to be using the same graphics and game engine as TWW, same as MM did with OOT. And MM only came out 23 months after OOT, and I don't know that they started on it right after they finished OOT. With the TWW sequel, they started work on it pretty much right after TWW was completed.

Just so as long as they can come up with another good storyline and dungeons that are as good as the ones in TWW, I'll be happy. And more dungeons would also be nice, but not too necessary if it has as much sidequest stuff as TWW did. ^_^[/color]

[quote] [i]A clip from IGN.com:[/i]
[b]August 07, 2003 - Early Thursday at a Nintendo held analyst conference in Japan, the company said that it would release a version of Wario Ware for home GameCube console. It also stated that it is in development with another GameCube Zelda title.
The GCN build of Wario Ware will debut later this year in Japan, according to the company. It is not known if it will link with the already-released GBA version in any way. Meanwhile, the next in the Zelda series is officially slated for a 2004 release.

No details on either game were made available at the conference. However, designer Shigeru Miyamoto recently said that the next Zelda game would retain the cute, cel-shaded presentation of the hit 2003 release, Wind Waker.

We'll have more on both as information becomes available.[/b]
[/quote]

(A little off-topic considering the Wario in it, but just ignore that. :sweat: )

Yep, a new Zelda game (Not counting Tetra's Trackers or 4 swords) already in production.. Hehe, I wonder if the people who work on Zelda always make the games with the fact that they're definitely making a second game in mind.

*head hurts*

So.. Windwaker, Wario Ware and Metroid Prime 2 all in the same year.. Hehe, that's be pleasant.

EDIT: >_< D'oh. I completely misread it all... Uh.. heh heh. :sweat: I'm tired and I can't think straight...

[color=indigo]Um...they're [i]keeping[/i] the cel shaded graphics, not changing them. Like I said, it's going to use the same graphics and game engine as TWW, and probably a lot of the same character models. Just like what they did with MM. If they were changing the graphical style, it would definitely take them a lot longer since, just like with TWW which took almost three years, they'd have to do all-new graphics.[/color]

Sounds interesting. But it won't be for TWW2. They've already said that if they use older link, they would use polygons, not cel-shading.

One of the major guys who worked on WW (forgot his name...and it wasen't Miyamoto) said that he was able to include everything he ever wanted in a Zelda game in WW, so I think that this sequel, while being similar to WW, will have a very innovative plot, such as the 3 day limit thing in MM, and probably will have nothing to do w/ Ganon. Who knows, maybe the game will involve Link and the pirates setting up villages on new islands, in a Dark Cloud style "get stuff from dungeons and build a town" thing. Just a guess.
