They can live all over they world. But where I've been told, they mostly live in the east like Asia. Mostly India. But like I said, they can be all over the world.

Although, that really has nothing to do with Zelda...

Guys, where Muslims live is not the subject of the topic. Moving on.

Anyways, see, the difference is, the Muslim references in Zelda are associated with negative connotations. Many people have said "Nobody complained about the cross on the shield in the NES Zeldas!" Well, here's the difference: The cross is on the shield of the hero. And is meant to be a holy sign anyway, and many medieval shields bore crosses. Which was something Zelda was akin to in its early days: Medieval times. So obviously it would have some of those similarities. I mean, not that it doesn't still have medieval elements, but it focuses on an aspect somewhat different from that. I say "somewhat" because it very much is a medieval setting, but different in a way. Hard to explain; hope you know what I mean.

Now the Islam symbols... Well, the fact that the Muslim chant was used in a dungeon where people were sacrificed to a dragon... I'd sorta be offended too, wouldn't you? And same for the symbol being applied to the warlike Gerudo tribe, whose leader wants to eradicate Hyrule and insert his own rule. Again, not sure I like that; it would be like using the Lord's Prayer and the cross.

But I digress, folks. This is just how I see it; maybe if the symbol were given to some nomadic, non-violent tribe and the chant was used... in somewhere that wasn't an evil dungeon, there wouldn't have been much complaining. Either way, Zelda is Zelda, and one song and one symbol won't change the franchise. ... well that depends on which song and symbol, but you know what I mean.

Fine then, where do Muslims live? I honestly have no idea.

The Middle-East?

On-topic, when is Ocarina of Time 3DS expected to come out in America?

Edit: Double Ninja'd.

Oh, just about... every country on the planet. A Muslim is someone who follows the Islamic religion.

Also, completely seconding Zebra's post. It's the design of the shield.

Holy hell, it was like a triple ninjaing.

OoT 3DS is supposed to come out in June, I think the 7th.

[Jay]

And when it does I will be so happy to buy it, I'm playing the N64 on on my wii right now again for fun, it looks really cool on the New T.V for my room I just got.

[Ice Cream Link]

I'll be happy to buy the game, too. This just looks really fun.

Yep. And my birthday is June 8th.

I'd love to ask for the game for my birthday, but I'd need a system to play it on... and $300 is a bit much to ask family to pay for a birthday present. That's like a whole Christmas budget right there, depending on your gift-giving habits.

If it's not too late, can the white "Navi" text that flashes along the bottom of the top screen when Z targeting enemies etc. be disabled? It looks really freakin' distracting.

Demonstration can be seen here. http://au.ds.ign.com.../1155738p1.html


You will also notice in that video that there is a Navi icon for the lower screen too!, so I hope you can disable the top screens incessant flashing.

[Jared]

I noticed that too. They should at least make it fade in and out, instead of it being so flashy.

I am SO annoyed with Link's hat. Why can't they just make it like Wind Waker's? When it goes ALL the way when when stopped?

This game comes out on June 19 in the USA. A few weeks after E3 11. That's quick I must say.

Well, A hat isn't just going to stay in one place even if you jump off a cliff. I mean, it does look a bit funny, but it's more realistic.

Shigeru Miyamoto has said that players will experience new things “one after another,” in the remake of Ocarina of Time for 3DS, but that it still “definitely a Zelda game,” and is “crammed with interesting things” not in the original.

I know this has more or less been touched upon already, but before, they said there was going to be no new content, yet now they're saying there will be new stuff "one after another."

Uhm.

[Russ]

Remember, it was Nintendo of America saying there would be no new content. And NoA doesn't actually make the games, just localize them. So I would trust what the guy who actually MADE the game says over what the head of the company that TRANSLATES it says.

But I am interested to see what the new stuff is. Interested enough to buy it? Probably not. But interested nonetheless.

[Jared]

Sweet!
Also, official box art!
