Nintendo Digital Event - 9:00AM PDT on June 10th

No more sequels. I don't mind the graphics but it is a bit of a step-down from the tech demo. I don't think a game with the tech demo's graphics could work with an open-world game anyway.
Besides, graphics don't make a game.
 
Gerudos... Desert... What if Link's a Gerudo? :oooooo
2015 is too far away... going to try and beat as many Zelda games as possible
 
I'm thinking Link is raised by the Gerudo imagining he is actually Ganon.

That was a really interesting read! Thank you.
I am thinking that traditionally, the Gerudo clan was all female ... except for Ganon. So maybe it comes from a universe where the Gerudo aren't... all female. Or maybe it does, and we'll see a bunch of Gerudo women fawning over Link for some special reason. Who knows. xD

Isn't there one male born every century?

Like Link being adopted by the Great Deku Tree and believing he's Kokiri? That'd be cool.
What if he was kidnapped and kept prisoner because of some prophecy that he'd kill Ganon idk
 
Yep, one male born every century. It's usually Ganon. But it might be neat if it was Link instead.
 
That is true. If he really was raised in the desert, wouldn't he be at least a little tan?
This is all speculation anyway. xP

On a completely different note, anyone watching live at the treehouse? They just showcased another game for 3DS called Fantasy Life, it looked fairly interesting, drawing from Animal Crossing.
 
Oh I just lol'd cause everyone totally forgot about GameCube VC...
:( It's cause I saw F-Zero and was like boo they need to put the GCN version back up
 
It's Link. It's not a female, it's not a Gerudo, it's not anyone different. Just Link.

“I don’t want people to get hung up on the way Link looks because ultimately Link represents the player in the game. I don’t want to define him so much that it becomes limiting to the players. I want players to focus on other parts of the trailer and not specifically on the character because the character Link represents, again, the player.”

I dunno how anyone could have gotten confused about the shown character. It's sickeningly obvious that it's Link. He looks the same as he has for the past decade. Just in a different outfit. He's actually worn a similarly colored outfit before (Wind Waker, at the very beginning). He's always had those little hair things (I DUNNO WHAT THEIR CALLED, OKAY) on the sides of his head hanging down.


Don't believe me? Compare the art/character models between games.

I'm sorry if this came across as.....harsh (not my intention), but you can't have a Zelda game without Link. I mean, c'mon, its been how many years? Zelda's been around since, what, 1986? The Zelda formula WORKS. Exactly how much has Link's character design changed since then? Hardly at all! They know it works and sells. Their not like Square Enix and change things constantly.

Maybe because Aonuma said "Who said it was Link?" He confused us.

Publicity stunt. And it worked. Websites exploded, rumors started circulating (Gerudo, Female, Link's Father, New character), and you know what that did? It built hype for the game! Everyone and their mother wants the new Zelda U. People who haven't bought a Wii U before now, will. Without a doubt. Nintendo knows what their doing. Zelda is a best-seller. Now read the rest of my above post.

Also, he's stated before that Link has always represented the player in the Legend of Zelda.
Here's something to back that up:

Think of this. In every Zelda game, you are prompted to enter a name before you begin. Right? This is because it's placing YOU into the world. YOU are the "link" to the game. This is how the character got his "name" (Link).

Am I the only one who thinks Zelda U looks like a cartoonish Skyrim?

And the robot wih thr missles reminded me of Incredibles. Holy sweet Arceus.

ugh. "cartoonish skyrim". implying skyrim looked like that first.
 
Not that anyone will take what I say with much heed, but at least I feel better saying it, why would they feature anyone but Link or Zelda in the first trailer for a Legend of Zelda game? The two main people. Anonuma was trying to get the hype train going, even though it was already going 2000mph lol
