I'm back to talk about Link. Yes, really.
Hello again!
I've decided to write my own opinions on the new Legend of Zelda: Wii U trailer that was just released. Because I am that bored right now. And! People should hear my opinions because I do know what I'm talking about.
So. First off, love love LOVE the art style. It's between the realism/darkness of Twilight Princess (my favorite) and the colors-ish of Skyward Sword (my least favorite). I love it though, they found the sweet spot with an art style. I wonder if they will stick with this. Here, I'll input a picture:
Look at that beautiful land, it already feels so massive in comparison to any of the previous installments, and ten TIMES larger than Skyward Sword. This is a plus for me, as everyone knows my main problem was the linearity of SS, descending into each land from above separated it even more than ever. Anouma stated that everything pictured here would be actually reachable, if you care to travel the distance.
Next is the town (apparently), given all the houses and the workers and goats. It seems as if a town will not be 'treed' in this time, it's just a town not separated by walls of fake tree and stone. Loving it.
Next is the path Link takes on horseback. This looks oddly familiar to Twilight Princess... which excites me. The statuettes look so Mayan and ancient, I'm loving it.
And of course, there is Link himself, which some people are swearing is a girl. I do not see it, nor is it true, as that theory was debunked. Yes, he has a small stature and a ponytail. But that is Link and he is all man. Yes. He is. Look at that expression! Look at his expression! Almost gritting his teeth, you can sense his passion and fury like never before. Their art direction and facial expressions is fantastic. As an artistic person, THIS is what I've been waiting for. A Link with true emotion... true grit.
I also love the fact that he has a bow, not a sword. I hated that it seemed so obvious that Skyward Sword's story was built around a mechanic. I could care less about the motion control of the sword. A game is about the story, and if I have to mash a B button to swing a sword I'll do it.
And then: After he fires his special arrow...
Just look at that face. Look at those EYES! I'm big on eyes, as I personally think you can tell everything from someone's eyes. Look at that fury!! Oh gosh.
I know this will sound bizarre, but I'm almost certain this will become my favorite game, even OVER Twilight Princess. Tall order, huh? But I can tell this open-world, non linear Zelda title will become my obsession in the Holiday of 2015. I will be in my room. Playing this game. Exploring a huge open world. Being a hero. And being in love with Link.
But of course, this is still my favorite song in Twilight Princess, always has been, always will be... aahhh Twilight. I could live in a world with this music playing at all times.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUwkjIXaHEI

Love always,
