I think the cartoony thing might work.

A giant bird kidnaps his sister!?! Since when did he have a sister? The story sounds like garbage, IMO. It will probably be fun, but the story! Anyway, Nintendo had a chance to give Final Fantasy a run for its money story wise and graphics wise. The graphics look like a low budget cartoon and the story will probably be much deeper than it sounds and I hope they will explain to us how he got a sister and where she has been hiding all this time.

I hope Nintendo decides to make a more serious Zelda game soon...

Looking good in my opinion. As for giving Final Fantasy a run for its money, Zelda was never meant to do that. They are two distinctly different types of games really.

The new look has grown on me quite a bit...I would like to hope the story is going to be as deep as previous games.

As with everyone else, I do hope they make a Zelda with a bit more mature look sometime down the road.

I still hate the look.  A lot of work and talent went into the engine, but it is garbage as far as I\'m concerned.

I also hope for a more mature zelda.
But I don\'t know. As for the story- I\'m going with soul reaver

I personally love the new look.  Looks amazing in action.  But seriously, stop saying "this game will suck", or "I hate it already", or **** like that.  Don\'t knock it til you try it.

Yes, they are both different in terms of gameplay, but they both have epic stories. That\'s what I compare, the stories. The new Zelda looks like it\'s going to be similar to a Saturday morning kiddie cartoon show.

I never said the game will suck.  I said I hate the graphics.

I don\'t like the new look either. I mean, I ain\'t nearly as pissed about it now as I used to be after seeing it in action.. but it\'s still pretty lame all the same. As for the Story and Gameplay, I\'m sure they\'ll be top notch just like every other Zelda game there is.. definately a rental for me tho I doubt I\'d buy it.

For some reason, OoT was the only Zelda game that really grabbed my full attention. *shrugs*

This game is actually looking better and better, not worse and worse... as usual though, I bet IGN gives this game a 10.:p

You didn\'t know? Almost every Zelda takes place in a different timeline. OOT was a prequel, took place near the time Hyrule was created, the Links and Zeldas in LTTP, LA, etc. are all descendants of those characters you saw in OOT...

So it is possible for one of these reincarnated Links or whatever to have some siblings.

I hope this game doesnt have a serious storyline,  because i find it impossible to take it seriously with its graphical style

Y\'know, people were saying the same kind of stuff about Majora\'s Mask, and it ended up being a more darker game than OOT.

Most people knew it was going to be a darker game. The moon was falling for god\'s sake! But this is a different story, a bird kidnaps his sister... OOT and MM were connected, so I thought the new Zelda was going to the same and finally against Ganondorf once again.

Majora\'s Mask was more of a side story though.

I don\'t think so.  It\'s not as great as some people say, but it doesn\'t suck...  It\'s just graphics...  I think if it looked uber-real it\'d still be kind of lame.

The problem isn\'t cel shading, it\'s that Nintendo is rehashing Zelda every six months now.  We just had two for N64, two for GBC, and now one for GBA, and one for GCN are in the works.  Nevermind Link all over SSB and maybe in Soul Caliber...

Give it a rest.  Guess I\'m just not a big enough Zelda fan, I don\'t know.

Then again, I\'ll probably buy it anyway haha. :)

Maybe this will play like a link to the past, that was a sweet game.  A true classic.  I\'m glad it\'s headed over to GBA... :D

The new Zelda resembles Paper Mario on the 64, I\'m sorry.

And I hated the way Paper Mario was made using 2D sprites, those images look like garbage.

Hopefully the big "N" will rely more upon the already respectable size of Zelda fans out there, than newcomers, because quite frankly, theres gonna be a lot of looks on kids faces when they look behind the back of the case of the game wondering, "what the hell happened to this game?"

jm: Did you play Paper Mario on the N64?

Everybody else: One man\'s trash is another man\'s gold mine.. but I don\'t see how anybody can discount Zelda\'s cel-shading technique after watching the E3-2002 videos. The first boss = absolutely stunning.

Really, it\'s sad that everybody makes such a big deal about dark, "mature" graphics and themes.

There will be dark stuff in Zelda-GCN, believe me.. what you\'ve seen so far is anti-spoiler. That\'s Nintendo for ya.
