I noticed that Link is holding a shield in his left hand, in ALL the previous Zelda games Link has been left handed so I'm hoping that this simple "fun-fact" about Link being a leftie isn't changed here in the next title.
Well in the Wii version of TP he was right-handed to accommodate for the majority of the population which is right-handed. In the GameCube version he was still left handed. This is probably the same situation.
hmm, i didnt know that the wii version of TP had link being right handed. I only played the Gamecube version, so I'll take back what I said and say that MOST of the Zelda games had Link being left handed

Keane, did you see this little comparison?


Someone posted it on another thread about this. Curious, eh?
I rest my case.


Money now says the title is Zelda: Legend of the Master Sword. Or some shit along these lines.
Definatly, she's the sword.

This means the next games "Navi" will be the master sword itself.
I miss Navi, wasnt the goal set in the intro of majora mask to find Navi? If I remember correctly, the text stated that Link went on a personal journey to find a friend that left shortly after returning the Master sword to the pedestal, which I assume the friend is Navi.
In the picture of the character that resembles a zora in the new zelda picture, she reminds me of the human form of the twilight princess shown at the end of TP, so maybe thats her, the twilight princess.

I can see how this new Zelda would be more mature than the others from that picture alone. Provided the woman in the picture is his sword stuck in a humanoid form, that would mean that, instead of stabbing people, he'd be grabbing the chick around the ankles and slamming her into enemies like a wet fish. It would be "Brutalizing women" in a whole new fashion.

And who's to say she's the only woman-weapon Link gets to mercilessly throw at people? There's probably a wooden chick, a green babe, and a red lass from all different parts of Hyrule just waiting for Link to hold them in his hands.

How could anyone not want the new Zelda with this whole 'ravaging enemies with a babe' element thrown in?

How about this, the girl WAS the master sword but over the ages the spell keeping her in that form weakened horribly and she reverted to the form shown in the picture, gannon shows up yet again and now link has no master sword and a girl who dosent want to become it again...

I thought of the master sword angle when I saw that image too. She also sort of looks like the great fairies from Wind Waker.
When I first saw her she reminded me of the fairy queen from wind waker.
Still the 'the girl is the sword'-theory might be more probable with the sword missing from the picture.
Pity, I loved the fairy queen though her appearance in the game was so short.

Maybe Nintendo is taking a few steps from Gnark and Kole and have Link swing that stony Zora girl around like a club XD

Oh great, another game with the exact same guy dressed exactly the same sporting the exact same story where princess Whatever is doing something and he has to be the "Chosen"-whatever and go kill every monster to Mount Doom and back just because some large glowing thingy told him to go do it. And yet again, every single line spoken by everyone will make me quiver at the crappy writing.

Next up: Legend of Zelda, Would You Kindly Jump Off A Cliff? (With a nice irish accent, mind you)

Yahtzee, please come and "review" this game!

Also, as Keane said:

Maybe from the art work you can see that he's not holding a sword.
Either way, this could work out well if done correctly.

In Twilight Princess, Link had a sword good enough to deal with weaker enemies in the beginning of the game, and got a stronger sword later on.
That's how it has worked in every Zelda game up to this point if I'm right.

"Link doesn't have a sword..."

I think the answer is obvious. This Link is a rough and dirty cop who "plays by his own rules." He will use a gun and it will be an FPS.
Nah nah, guns are lame. He has a gun that shoots Master Swords.
Yes. This is the future of Zelda. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcvdT2C31oc&feature=related]

Gears of War 3: spoiler alert you play as Fenix and kill some Locusts.

Any game can seem repetitive when you break it down like THAT.

Link doesn't have a sword because he obviously uses his shield to brutally bash in the faces of all his enemies.

My theory is this: This game's Link is the original Link that all the other Link's descend from. The girl in the cover art was Link's true love and at the end of this game is turned into the master sword or sacrifices herself in order to be the master sword. From there she/master sword is sent to all the other Links dimensions/time lines in order to help her love as many times as she can.

This could explain the origin of the Master Sword and why it's in every game, as far as I know there is no Master sword origin story and no original maker of the sword. This might also explain why this Link is the oldest yet has no sword at all.

Otherwise the girl is Navi's pre fairy form or... The Zora princess from Oot still trying to get Link to marry her

You know that hasn't been even close to the plot for any of the 4 3-d console Zelda games, right? I mean, you could make a case for Wind Waker, but even there Zelda was more help than burden. Not to mention Sheik in OoT, her total lack (I think, I haven't yet played it) in Majora's Mask, and her giving her soul for Midna in Twilight Princess.

In my heart of hearts (The heart I keep inside my heart. In one of the many chambers of my heart,) I want him to sling his shield around like Captain America...

Okay, wait, that would actually be kind of cool. Just don't make any of the characters around talk, and we're set.

The thingy with the widgidigi and the hooseywut are all okay to me so far. Might be enough with the new metroid to get me to buy a wii...
