Mini-rant time: I hate that tendancy to release products who share directly the name of the franchise, with absolutely no way to put them apart. "The Legend of Zelda" is what? The franchise, the first game, or the 2010/2011 release? "Star Trek" means what? The franchise, the original series, or the 2009 movie? What is "Sonic the Hedgehog"? The franchise, the first game, or the 2006 mess? What's wrong with numbers or subtitles all of a sudden?

Looking for me elsewhere? Maybe look at my Fediverse account for some more-or-less random postings! If you're a gamer, check out my Osmium profile. I'm building that tool!

Its like they're trying to improve the lost joy we had of playing the first Zelda. Maybe they think it was soooo long ago we had forgotten about it, and are like HAY LOOKIT THIS

Pretty crappy demonstration at the Nintendo E3 presentation, but I'm sure the game works better when you are closer to the Sensor Bar. We'll get more of an idea once people play the games on the floor, I think.

I'm not too sure about the realistic/cel-shaded hybrid look, but, the realistic look from Twilight Princess by itself looked boring. The cel-shading might help make the game a more colorful experience.

And may I address, Shooting Sword Beams = epic.

You'll notice that there's a pattern to them though. Titles like that usually happen when franchises are attempting to make a move back to their roots or attempting a total reboot. It is annoying, but I can see the reasoning.

Updated the thread with the correction.
