Couple of videos were released on Nintendo's YouTube today. First we have:

 

The Music of The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds - What appears to be a sampling of three of the songs in the game, though with only two instruments. I'm guessing these guys can be found and asked to play any song in the game maybe? I dunno. I like Hilda's theme and Ravio's theme, Yuga's is... not bad, but doesn't sound as good as the other two. I'm really curious though as to the hints they dropped during Hilda's segment. Lorule had its own legends and heroes... and that shadowy thing Hilda was standing in front of, I have great curiosity for that.

 

And there's also a new gameplay trailer. Not much to say here other than it looks freaking amazing. Looks like Keiichi was right about Lorule's Death Mountain being a snow area, which'll be neat. The ice rod looks great, the areas and puzzles look great, I'm just more and more taken with this game the more I see of it and I can't wait for November 22nd. Oh, and hello there Trinexx, you're looking threatening today...

 

Oh, and since the last conversation was the Zelda 3DS XL bundle, it's been confirmed for the West as well.

Man I still can't wait for it to be released, but dang picking up on midnight release is going to be fun with the XB1 is being released at the same time.

How many of you are going to the midnight release? I know I am because I want to play the game asap.

 

I'm bringing a friend to the release though, I don't want to be alone on a console release night... I know the last midnight console release was pretty rough, I think there was a mugging and a stabbing at the 3ds release or was it the Wii U I can't remember which one it was.

I want this so much. 22 days feels like a very long time.

 

I think I'm gonna be a "cheapskate" and download it on the eShop... assuming they release it there as well as on cards?

Man, I'm getting more an more exciting. November 22nd couldn't come sooner.

 

Here's a video showing off Ravio's shop in detail. Nothing too interesting or new here, but there are a few things I'd like to point out. Right in the beginning of the video, doesn't that sound like the Termina rendition of the Zelda main theme? Also, when you die, your items pop out of your pockets, Minecraft style, and Ravio's bird creature swoops 'em up. I thought that was a nice touch. ALSO, if you listen closely, you can hear the original Game Over theme.

If my GameStop does a midnight release, I am.

Oh, holy crap! That looks AWESOME! I've had concerns in the past about the areas looking too stale, but the dungeons they're showing now look AMAZING. And the upgraded items, and new usages for things like the Ice Rod.

 

Also, with some of the Termina hints they've been dropping ...  A snowy mountain biome? Snowhead, anyone? I'm curious to see if there really are Termina influences in Lorule or if it's all just coincidence.

 

I am SO looking forward to this game now. Way more excited than I should be.

If you refer to the room shown before the boss, you can see a green glowing warp. I'd imagine it'd be a warp system to either possible mini-bosses or the pre-boss room.

 

Besides that, I love the new dungeons. I can't even tell if they're previous dungeons or new ones... Well... I could tell the lava dungeon might be Turtle Rock, but that's it. I think the upgrade system is great, but I wonder if dying makes you lose the upgrade and if so: what will happen to it? The snowy mountain was well done. This is hardly a remake now, so I fail to see why a few people even call it that still.

 

Also this game is breaking tradition properly IMO. PH, ST, SS didn't really do it that well, but they're still great games nonetheless.

 

And honestly, I can see Termina kinda being Lorule... Stone Tower Temple would be a great addition for the game considering height/depth plays a important role. Also I saw a half of Majora's Mask in that video. [/INB4MAJORASMASKHD]

 

EDIT: You know, I have very wild speculations that Ravio is Lorule's hero. The fact that he is in a pink bunny costume possibly symbolizes that he isn't normal in this world and with him selling so many items that most shops wouldn't normally sell... It could be possible.

Getting this game for Christmas because we may not have enough money for it on 22nd November. Am I worried about that? Not really as long as I actually own it, then I can have all the Zelda games in the series in one house again (with the exception of Wind Waker HD)

You only lose rented items, and you can't upgrade rented items, so dying probably won't affect your upgrades.

 

Also, this is a shot in the dark, but I have the wild idea that Ravio is the Happy Mask Salesmen. His demeanor is similar, he wears purple colored clothing, and has the Majora's Mask. It makes sense in my head...

Dungeon Gameplay by GameXplain. Goes for 10 minutes. I'd avoid it best as possible if you want to keep the game fresh.

 

But looks like not every dungeon will feature LttP remastered music.

Maybe I misunderstood something, but weren't the Ice and Fire Rods both rented items? Or do you mean you can't upgrade until you purchase them first?

You can upgrade the bow, which can be rented.

 

My best guess is that you can buy/rent the level 2 bow or other level 2 items if you die.

Yes, you can only upgrade when you fully purchase and item. That's what I was getting at.

Bleh, I still see comments about this being just a remake and/or being unoriginal. Have people not played a Link to the Past or something? There's painfully obvious differences.

This is awesome. Turtle Rock is in the middle of a lake. Also plot spoilers.
