Zelda Wii: Possible Detail Leak

I hate to take hard earned information from other sites, but this is to sweet to pass up. From the sleuths over at Zelda Informer, it is a rather strong possibility that for the first time, today, we have received concrete details concerning the next Zelda installment. According to a famous, Japanese message board called 2Chan, an entire laundry list of tidbits regarding Zelda Wii have found their way onto the web. 2Chan itself, has been known for correctly and precisely "predicting" information on unreleased games (As they did with the The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker back in 2003). You can go to ZI's post on the subject, but I will reprint them here for your convenience. Once again, thanks for ZI and all those who contributed to this massively potential find. The details are as follows... - The game will be vary from the dungeon field dungeon method we are accustomed too.
- You will be able to select right or left handed at the start, and Link will be left or right handed based on your selection
- The gameplay and basic mechanics are complete.
- They are currently polishing up the story and Characters.
- One of the characters they are working on is a innkeeper in Link's home village who has a son that looks up to Link.
- The girl in the art is not the Master Sword, and it appears the Master Sword will not be in the game.
- The girls name from the painting could possibly be Adelle, Adella, or Aderu.
- She is not with you throughout the game like Ezlo and Midna.
- The face in the painting of her is not her real face. It's not fully elaborated on much, but it does say that it was a place holder concept art piece.(assuming the entire art itself was just concept work)
- Link's sword is highly unique in this game, and will have several unlockable abilities. Adelle (or whatever her final name becomes) communicates with you through this sword.
- There will be horseback combat. Epona will avoid obstacles automatically.
- The models for 3 significant characters in the game have been touched up, but no they are not Zelda or Ganondorf. (google translate gives rough names of Link, Gorons, and Epona, but our translator said it's not specifically mentioned)
- The idea of this version of Link also being The Hero of Time has been highly considered, and may already be implemented.
- Time travel plays a roll in the game.
- The game takes place in more then just Hyrule, and may possibly not be Hyrule at all.
A LOT of good stuff, wouldn't you say. One a personally note, the idea of revisiting the life of the Hero of Time (or OoT Link as he is more commonly known), literally brings tears to my eyes. I, as well as you, should not be banking on these rumors, but that doesn't stop me from being hopeful. Ocarina of Time was my first true video game experience, and the inspiration from which my future is now set. Revisiting the life of THAT Link would be overwhelmingly meaningful. Hopes that E3 will bring clarity to the ever-growing cloud of Zelda Wii speculation.

A Small Site Update

Hey all, just a bit of information concerning our plans to build a better Zelda Sages. First of all, as of right now we are experiencing a hold-up with the software we are going to use to power ZS. There are several bugs which would negatively impact your experience on Zelda Sages (in addition to making it impossible for me to style the darn thing at the present). As such, we're going to need to wait a few more weeks before heavy styling work can be done. As I said in a previous posting, however, we have a very good idea of what exactly we're building. Our new staff member, Dane, and I have been working on creating the new site banner, which we've received very positive feedback on fro SITs and Sages.
Even with the minor setback, however, I've decided to implement a new function that will exist in the new ZS right now. Rather than using an internal form system, we're moving a lot of our communication systems over to Google Apps. A few months ago, I moved all the internal ZS mail system over to Google Apps, a suite for webmasters provided by Google that allows the use of all Google account services (such as Gmail and Google Docs) on a domain level. Actually, the last few months the staff has been swinging easy using Gmail. As you've noticed, that hasn't changed a single thing for you guys; Emails are still the old zeldasages, etc. However, the first bit of change for you guys is the use of Google Docs for that above mentioned form communication. Check out our mailbag page to take a look-see. I know it stretches the screen a bit; this is mainly due to the fact I set display settings for our development website and not the current ZS. Rest assured, when we launch the new ZS, this won't be an issue. Also, all mailbag questions submitted in the last few days that were not answered in Mike's mailbag should be re-submitted using the new form.
That's really all there is to say for now. I'll be able to say much more after a staff meeting taking place Saturday the 23rd.

Excellent New everyone! In a recent interview with Nintendo's President Satura Iwata, it was revealed that Zelda Wii will hit shelves before the end of THIS year! The entire article is in the process of being translated, but all things considered, this is the best chunk of news that we've received since the release of the concept art. Time to rejoice!!!

No More Hero of Time

According to the Hero of Time website, they were evidently contacted by Nintendo to remove the film by the end of 2009. Gotta love intellectual property. I guess, however, we can take some solace of the fact that in the spirit of things it was allowed to stay online until the end of the year. For fear of breaking our own legal agreement, I can't exactly post links or encourage any of you to say, type the film name and torrent into Google, or something like that....
Fun while it lasted though  .

"Hero of Time" Movie and Aonuma Interview on Zelda Wii

Two rather large updates today. Firstly, the long anticipated, fan-maid movie, The Hero of Time , has just been released to the community today after almost six years of production! It tells the ever-familiar story of the summoning of a young boy to meet an impending evil and save Hyrule. Averaging in at around two hours of filming, this is perhaps the greatest fan-based creations/dedications to the series we've ever seen.
On a separate, more official note, we have managed to scrape a bit more information from Aonuma today in yet another interview. In regards to Zelda Wii, what he talks about mostly pertains to what we already know, but he does give us a bit of new information, some of which regarding the game's graphic style. Thanks to Zelda Informer for providing the scoop. Go check it out!

Regardless of what they do, I'll probably buy the game. But it would be weaksauce if they basically remade OoT.
Never mind, just read the original article, and their idea makes sense. A sequel to MM would be kick ass.
I wish they would forget about graphics and just make the goddamn game fun. And that goes for every game released after Doom II.
