Rumour has it that the new Zelda is called 'Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess'. What a crummy name. Ze rumours say that Link's age in this one is 16, and he actually gets older as the game goes on. Also, he has several new costumes. He is no longer Stinkylink!

So I'm guessing that you can turn into animals if that wolf is link.
And I'll post what the new sign looks like later once I find the pic again.

Those pics. Man, this game is already looking too awesome. And a little scary. It looks like its going to be very dark and grim, the very polar opposite of Wind Waker.

From what I've read in EDGE, Link is a cowboy! This makes a change, as he's not just some kid that stands out from the world that he's trying to save, but rather he is an everyday person that just so happens to stumble into an adventure (yes, I know he is destined for it, but he doesn't know that).
@zerolus- Remember, the Zelda time line jumps about- in chronological terms, this is the order:
OoT (N64 - 1998)-Side story -Magora's Mask (N64-2000)
LOZ (NES - 1987) - Side story - Minish Cap (GBA - 2005)
TAoL (NES - 1988)
ALttP (SNES - 1992) - Side story - Oracles of Ages/Seasons (GBC - 2001) - Side story - Link's Awakening (GB - 1993)
WW (GC - 2003)
So you see, how was Hyrule sunk? And why? Could this be the "Great Evil" that's spreadingas described in the first video? Was the "Great Evil" flooded to keep it from spreading? Perhaps this game will reveal all...

I NEVER knew that Zelda games aren't released in timeline order. If only I where a Zelda expert... WHICH I AM. Doubt it. The prologue to the Wind Waker said that a man of Great Evil (Ganondorf) took the power of the TriForce and used to it conquer Hyrule (Ocarina of Time, this proving that Wind Waker is the proper sequel to OoT). Then a young boy dressed in green appeared from nowhere and was called the Hero of Time (OoT & MM's Link) and banished Ganon using the blade of evil's bane (the master sword). Then, after many generations, the Great Evil (Ganon) all had thought was sealed forever away by the Hero of Time, broke the seal and cast darkness on the land. Later on, halfway through the game, the King of Hyrule tells all: People prayed to the gods for salvation from Ganon's merciless rule. So the God's commanded them to refuge on the mountaintops, then a continous rainfall flooded Hyrule, hoping to seal Ganon away forever. It didn't work though, as Ganon broke the seal AGAIN. He found his way to the ocean's surface, took control of the Forsaken Fortress by killing the rivals of Tetra's Pirates and began his search for the remaining TriForce piecies. Although the Godesses must have known this would someday, as they blessed immortality (in age, only) on the King of Hyrule so he would seek out a hero with enough courage to attempt to defeat him, should Ganon find a way out, which he did. Though that's just saying that Ganon is the Great Evil, not to say this new threat could have something to do with him. Even though it was explained how Ganon found a way out of Hyrule, it never explained how he broke the Six (or seven, if you include the original Zelda) Sage's seal and managed to escape the Sacred Realm back into Hyrule. Perhaps this new villain had something to do with it?

Oh my god go to zelda.com to see a kick ass trailer where it shows link turning into a wolf.
Oh and link isn't a cowboy he's a farmboy. (that's what I heard anyway.)

The reason I posted that was because you claimed that Tetra/ Zelda said that they were going to try and find a new Hyrule, and that this was it, "Gotta be definately set after Wind Waker"
I was just saying that this could be the episode before WW to try and give a possible explination. Now get of your high horse and stop being so arrogant.

Uh, I think we both misunderstood each other here. The reason I posted that was because you claimed that Tetra/ Zelda said that they were going to try and find a new Hyrule, and that this was it, "Gotta be definately set after Wind Waker" I was just saying that this could be the episode before WW to try and give a possible explination. I don't see the purpose of that. The prologue to Wind Waker and the King of Hyrule's story clearly explained what happened inbetween the time after the events in OoT and before WW. Its very unlike Nintendo to make a game of something that's already been explained. It'd be like making a game to show how Mario was captured by the Boos in Luigi's Mansion, which would be daft. Your impression of my post completely misinterpreterd my message. I did not think myself superior or my opinion superior to yours. I was stating what had already been explained in the Wind Waker and why this has GOT to be set AFTER the Wind Waker.

But this is so catalyclismic that I'm sure that Ninty wouldn't leave to a few pages of text and tapastry to cover. I can see where you're coming from though...
And as for the aggrogant remark - well, I just think that it could have been done without the sarcasm. And the fact that you are a self- claimed expert... that is a little brash

Yeah, well, from what I saw so far it looks like it hasn't got anything to do with Ganondorf... yet. Though if you see any Molblins (monsters resembling pigs), then there's a chance... Besides, I'd be far more intrested in seeing the new Hyrule rather then how the old one was sunk Heh heh heh... ^^; Sorry about that. I just get offended if my fandom is questioned. Zelda or no Zelda.

The Wind Waker - Wind Waker Ocarina of Time - Ocarina Minsih Cap - Minish Cap Majora's Mask - Masks Twilight Princess - A Lady?

Post by Zerolus on May 19, 2005 6:46:58 GMT
Twilight Princess - A Lady? It is a little known fact, but the final version of the game will have you playing as Zelda for the first time ever. (Terrible, majorly unfunny joke)

There appears to be plenty of Bokoblins, as well as Kargorocs (the pesky annoying birds) in the E3 trailer, but who is that weird kid?

GANONDORF WILL BE MAKING A RETURN!! GOD WILL [censored] ON YOU IF YOU DO NOT GET THIS GAME! More info is that this game is not set in Hyrule. Its set in a village currently named Toaru.

Ohes noes..I know the game has a horse in it.. Any chance that horse is Epona? Eh, don't think so. It looks a little diffirent compared to Epona. Oh yeah. About Link turning into a wolf. I don't think Link is a werewolf in this game. He must get some kind of magical ability. He also posses some cool resemblences... such as the Blue eyes, ear-rings and even some parts of him are green.

Any chance that horse is Espona? You could make it Epona, since you actually have to name the horse.

Yes you do have to name the horse and link turns into the wolf in the twilight world. And that girl in black I think is the twilight princess.
Spoiler
And I read somewhere that the little guy on links back where he's a wolf is the enemy of the guy but you have to team up to fight a greater evil
Spoiler End
Also the first thing you do in the game is rounding up cows on horseback while leaping fences.
Also they have bought back the fishing game from Oot and the water that loks like the best ever in any game will play apart in it, but it is unknown what it will be maybe a water temple or the return of the Zoras.
And the first place you start off in is called Toaru Village, it's the Kakariko of the new quest where Link who is 16 lives. He also will grow up during the quest but it is unknown how, will he become a full adult again.

I learned yesterday that each temple has a different animal that helps you!
Helper monkeys are a must!
