Your First Look at the New Zelda

[Afro alex]

i dont think they are makin another zelda game on the gamecube so it may b some fucked up situation

 

[shirin238]

I think they have watched a little bit too much Soul Eater:
In that anime you had the Meisters and their Weapons, which were also human, with personalities and everything...

 

[BlackDodongo]

I can really see Nintendo going with the whole personified Master Sword thing. And I think it would be... rather interesting. I think the story on this is as open as the sky and anything could happen with it. I just hope they don't make it gimmicky and not too casual either. I want more brain bending water temples please.

Couldn't put it better myself.

Oh and welcome to the escapist.

 

[5stringedbandit]

I could

And thank you

Come on! Those stockings are awesome!

Quick theory:

There's some sort of fairy spirit in the Master Sword?

 

[RTR]

That girl standing behind Link kinda looks like the Master Sword (the top half of her looks like the hilt of the sword). My guess is that in the next game, we will learn more about what's behinf the Master Sword and it could take on a new form other than the standard sword form, kinda like a spirit. Almost all past Zeldas have had a companion for Link to travel with. She must be just that.

How many times can they rehash this? They've been remaking it since Zelda II!

Let it go, already.

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

I actually really like your first idea, sounds really interesting

You're right, they should stop making fun, immersive, high-quality games. We have enough of those.

 

[sonicspin]

Gun to my head, I would say the reason Link's not holding a sword is because that spirit-thing IS the sword! Asamatteroffact, I would guess the title would be LoZ: and the sword of soul, or and the blade spirit. I bet that thing can turn into all different kinds of blades and weapons too!... but that's just my guess...

 

[FleaJr]

The first thing I saw when I read the bit about him not having a sword was that the girl looked like the sword

This comment is particularly funny considering how radically different Zelda 2 is from the rest of the series.

 

[randommaster]

Keane, did you see this little comparison?

Spoiler: Crazy Shit

Someone posted it on another thread about this. Curious, eh?

Oh joy, so now link will be running around with an anthropomorphic personification of the master (or should I say "mistress") sword? The fan-fics are lusting for blood. Pretty soon you'll hear about Link boning his weapons on DeviantArt...
What next? Will they have another Zelda game where the sword, the shield and Link's hat come to life, and then they all go raiding Hyrule? Then they meet up with Link's animated slingshot and bow, and they soon learn about friendship and understanding?

Are we going to end up with Link/Mastersword ships?

Maybe. Is she even alive? I don't know. What's up with that crystal in the center or her chest, and, more importantly, what's with those ugly stockings?

To me, it doesn't look like she's wearing stockings. In fact, it doesn't look like she's wearing any pants at all!

You all have it wrong... The sword is in his pants, it's a rape simulator, and the reason it wasn't shown at E3 was because of the whole RapeLay controversy. Look at the proof.
-Link's open hand ready in equal measure for self pleasure or pimp-slap.
-The perverse grin on his face.
-The chick's face is all white.
-The way she is standing to forcibly keep her legs closed.
-It's on the Wii.

Bad joke aside...
Yeah, the one thing putting credibility to the whole "She's the Sword" idea is the lack of the master sword going through the Z in the title.

I guarantee you that this has already been done by someone.

Woah, woah, I didn't say that, some other guy did.

 

[Superbird42]

I think that statue/person thing IS the master sword
