The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess E3 trailer

So Nintendo finally gave this one a title, and for once it's not named after an item... I hope.

Video at IGN

That wolf was as important as suspected. I wonder what that thing riding on the wolf is. Supposedly it's called "Midna". This game does look really good and the new boomerang looks nasty.

That's just...awesome. I look forward to this game and Pokemon X D. I'm not too hot for the title, I think it would have been cool to just leave it The Legend of Zelda.

Since when does UE3 and GT5 run on CURRENT generation systems?

This is going to be a GC game, using the same engine as Wind Waker...

Holy Hannah, it is gonna rock. I was ALREADY obsessed with shapeshifting, now Link can turn into a wolf...

*muses* I hope there's an aquatic form, a la Mikau from Majora's Mask.

If you be "new system" mean the Revolution, then you're wrong. It's a GameCube game.

(Yes, I do know that the Revolution will play GC games...)

Gamespot has a whole metric assload of videos for this now, taken from the playable sections from the show floor.

We wants it, preciouss!

There's also an interview with the localisation manager who spills a couple of beans about the first dungeon (the forest temple, natch, this time with monkeys) and shows a few things like the Gale Boomerang, which generates a cyclone underneath it that sucks things up. He also mentioned being able to do things like lock on to a bomb and then an enemy (it multi-targets, like in WW) and have it pick the bomb up and drop it on the enemy, for long range explosive fun.

There's also a little combat scene that shows Link knocking a Lizalfos over and getting the chance to do a finishing move, jumping on it and giving it a good stabbing.

Everything I see about this game makes me want it more. The Revolution can wait, Long Live the Princess!

It's... it's... the return of the bomb-arrow...

Well, close enough, at least.

THANK YOU, NINTENDO!

Bomb arrow was visible in the GDC trailer too

I just watched some of the gameplay footage and... holy shit!

I think a girl got shot by an arrow in the back!! And like... died...

Fucking hell...
*watches again* yes, yes she did get shot!!

Well, it's certainly going to be a Zelda like no other

Oh, and nice facial expressions too!

It's the one that has a big something holding someone's arm.

Praxis · Post by **Praxis** » 2005-05-19 03:15pm

They said on IGN that the girl got shot but they were unsure of whether she died. She was shown tied up later, but limp.

You can spot it in the trailer in fact.

I thought I heard some where it was going to be on the Revolution but then again in the past three days I've been hearing a lot of different things from E3.

Well in that case my mom wont have to buy a new system.

*glances longingly at presell receipt*

Meh, video games are far too expensive for me to buy new. Yes, it looks awesome, but it'll still be just as awesome when I purchase it for $15 used next year.

When will this be out? I can only find "2005".

Somewhere near year end probably.

McNum · Post by **McNum** » 2005-05-19 08:31pm

Yay! Nintendo said to IGN that they're shooting for a worldwide holiday 2005 launch.

I like worldwide launches... That means I won't have to wait half a year on some translations to German and French I never use, anyway.
