2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Nintendo doing anything possible to not admit Wand of Gamelan exists

Don't forget Zelda's Adventure too.

At least in the direct they didn’t say “for the first time”

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

You can play as Zelda in Spirit Tracks (Zelda in ghost form, that is).

[–] Spesknight 20 points 6 months ago

It should be called "Legend of Link"

[–] Ghostalmedia 15 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Been a minute since we’ve had a top-down Zelda game that you can play on the couch.

This looks like it might scratch my A Link to the Past itch.

[–] Alteon 8 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Look at the map. It looks like the LttP top down map, or at least a similar throwback to it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The town in the middle looked more like Minish Cap than anything else IMO

[–] Alteon 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You can see the East Temple, the Rock Field, and Hyrule castle.

I'm pretty sure the trailer even shows that this is a direct sequel to Link to the Past.

Oh god, I hope they didn't reuse the map for a third game. This game looks so promising, but that would really put a damper on it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Yeah, this looks a bit like LttP HD and ALBW. At least from the stills; I haven't watched the videos yet.

I hate the art style. Makes me curious if we see the dark world again though.

[–] cafuneandchill 3 points 6 months ago

Post-Wii Nintendo seems to be allergic to 2d and pixel art stylez

[–] Ghostalmedia 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The art style is what excites me the most. This is like next-gen Link to the Past.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

That's quite the insult to the beautiful pixel art of Link to the Past.

[–] I_Has_A_Hat 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Didn't they remake Link's Awakening?

[–] Ghostalmedia 1 points 6 months ago

Yeah, good point. I wonder if this is the same engine.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Everyones acting like this is to the first time

we had two games on the cdi where we could play zelda

[–] Ghostalmedia 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Are we really surprised that people didn’t know CD-i Zelda games existed?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

people would act like it no matter how popular any previous zeld playable game would be

[–] Ghostalmedia 1 points 6 months ago

I don’t know about that. A lot of us didn’t even know these CD-I games existed. Hell, I was a 90’s kid that subscribed to game magazines, and my only real exposure to it was some random educational games that my school bought and then never really used.

If you go around and ask 40 somethings if they played CD-I games, you’re going to get a lot of people who say “what was that?”

While I was disappointed we didn’t get a badass Zelda to play in Tears of the Kingdom, I’m glad there’s at least something focusing on her. Since it’s giving ALTTP vibes I’ll probably give this a play at some point.
