Legend of Zelda Offical The Legend of Zelda Thread

Well, I mean, what were they expecting exactly? What would a good live action Super Mario Bros. movie look like?

Not what we got, apparently. I don't know, I love the movie myself.

 

[SymbioticToxin]

There's a lot of ways this could end up terrible, but there are also a lot of ways this can be great. I'm hoping it's true. You can really exand Hyrule or whatever, give some interaction between the various species and whatnot in the land.

 

[Soapy]

I have zero interest in any kind of Zelda show/movie adaptation. Or really any adaptation of any games.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

They need to get an actual writer. It would be nice to actually have a well written Zelda story. That being said, Zelda seems like the perfect property for an animated film or series, not live action.

 

[Thundercrack85]

The games could use a writer.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

The games could use a writer.

I completely agree.

 

[Soapy]

Nah. They're fine.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I want Zelda to have a really complex storyline, where it involves Link finding a talking Dog and Duck, and together they venture on massive journeys. Eventually they become trapped in hibernation within Hyrule Castle, in order to reclaim their memories that were stolen. During that time, Link's Nobody, Loxas, who was created upon Link turning into a Heartless Poe, in the Twilight land of Termina, becomes a target of a shadowy gang named, Organization XIIIIIII, courtesy of Ganon, a Heartless or Nobody form of Ganondorf The Wise, who in turn was a Heartless form of Simon Belmont

Ah, getting too ahead of myself

 

[Raiden]

Fan cast: Zelda Williams as Princess Zelda

 

[HighFivingMF]

Scheduling probably wouldn't work out because of The Flash. But Ezra Miller as Adult Link.

Spoiler

Keep in mind that hair dye is a thing

Just finished replaying OoT in preparation for MM. That game truly is the greatest ever. Even after all this time it is an absolute blast.

 

[Soapy]

Just ordered Hyrule Warriors. Looking forward to trying out my first musou game.

 

[Benstamania]

It's my first too. Pretty fun. Simple minded fun, but still fun.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Hm, seems GS hasn't shipped my MM LE yet. Well, that's disappointing, was hoping to get it by release day, but as long as I get it I can live with the wait.

Also, there's three new Zelda themes on the 3DS, two of Majora's Mask and another that's retro animated.

EDIT: And a heads-up for those who missed the LE, apparently Frys is going to have it. They did not do pre-orders for it, so it it will be a limited in store item only. If you have a local store and want it, might want to try your luck.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Just got my e-mail that my MM LE shipped. Good times.

Iwata Asks Is Back, And Kicks Off With Majora’s Mask 3D. February 13, 2015 . 7:26am

After a long hiatus, Nintendo’s popular “Iwata Asks” series of interviews is back, and they’re kicking it off with The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D.

After a long hiatus, Nintendo’s popular “Iwata Asks” series of interviews is back, and they’re kicking it off with The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D. Before moving on to the interview itself, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata touches upon the interview series’ hiatus. Here’s his brief message:

Hello everyone, this is Satoru Iwata of Nintendo.

Since we weren’t able to reveal any new Iwata Asks interviews at all last year, it’s really been a while to be able to share with you a new interview.

Last year I fell ill and had undergone surgery. Many of you were probably wondering if my illness was the reason for us not revealing any new Iwata Asks. But to be honest, I’ve been thinking about taking a break from it so I could recharge, even before I found out about my condition.

From about the end of last year I started thinking about bringing it back up on the table again, and was wondering what would be the right title to bring it back with. It was at that time when I saw people’s strong reactions to our announcement that we’re making a remake to The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. I was surprised by those reactions, but now I knew what that title would be.

I hope we can do a good job in trying to convey even a portion of the secrets of a game that deeply struck so many people’s hearts. It has become quite a lengthy interview, but I hope you’ll follow through to the very end.

Majora’s Mask 3D And Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Outselling Their Predecessors In The West. February 17, 2015 . 9:00am

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata touched upon the performance of the two games in a recent financial results presentation.

Last Friday, February 13th, saw the release of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate in the U.S. and Europe. In a recently financial results presentation, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata touched upon their performance.





The chart above highlights launch sales for Majora’s Mask 3D and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate compared to their predecessors, A Link Between Worlds and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. In the case of Majora’s Mask 3D, the game appears to be outselling A Link Between Worlds by a fairly healthy margin in both the U.S. and Europe.

Meanwhile, in the case of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, U.S. sales data isn’t available yet, but in Europe, the game sold twice as much at launch as Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, which is a good sign. Iwata also pointed out that both Majora’s Mask 3D and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate have seen stellar review from critics.

Food for thought:
One last interesting point of note. Iwata also stated that Majora’s Mask 3D is selling to the same generation of people that he referred to while discussing sales of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Pokémon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire.

Really glad to see MM seeing to do well. I always thought it's status as the lowest selling mainline Zelda was a shame based on how interesting and cool of a game it was. Hopefully, this release really helps to raise its profile.

 

[Thundercrack85]

I felt that a big part of it was the fact that the N64 was on its way out by the time it came around.

It apparently came out on the exact same day as the PS2.

 

[ares834]

While I'm glad MM is selling so well it's disheartening to see it completely outsell A Link Between Worlds. That game was great and this just gives Nintendo more incentive to do remakes rather than create original games.

 

[zenith16]

There's also news of a new version of Ganon Pack DLC pack for Hyrule warriors ( the one where his a "wild bore/ pig") but so far it's for Japan. just waiting to see if they say it coming to the west eventually too.

 

[Tron Bonne]

It was a month after the PS2 in Japan and 7 months after it in America. But you're right, that probably played a part, that and how odd and different it was from OOT.

 

[Tron Bonne]

While I'm glad MM is selling so well it's disheartening to see it completely outsell A Link Between Worlds. That game was great and this just gives Nintendo more incentive to do remakes rather than create original games.

ALBW will still sell the Zelda standard of 3-4 million by the 3DS's lifetime end. And Nintendo doesn't really need incentive to do remakes, they've always done remakes and enhanced ports. They've always done a mixture of both type of titles.
