Keep in mind that Miyamoto is a little crazy. His idea of "changes everywhere" could mean the shiny new graphics on everything. I think it would be in-character for him.

Also, Spirit Flute was awesome. I'd love a playable ocarina.




...Although, I'm still hoping we'll be able to scream back at the ReDeads.

I have a feeling they meant that there will be lots of new things with the game, as in a colour manual, maybe maps, audio disc, game history documentation etc. and they'll reveal them one by one. So far they've revealed the Master Quest.

So I think it'll be like the mario bros history thing/collection on the Wii.

It's Link and Epona in a 3D picture!

I think this is the official art, too. It's so beautiful @_@

I also found new screens!!

So from the scans Lynker posted, it looks like the ocarina will be played by button presses. Additionally, it looks like there might be icons on the touchscreen that will play the depicted song automatically. Although people will complain ITS MAKIN IT ALL TWO SIMPLISTIC AND FOR BABYYZZZ, I actually think it's a great idea. I don't want to have to play Zelda's Lullaby twenty times in the Water Temple.

It actually seems like it will show you the song, not play it for you. Kind of like when you paused while using the Wind Waker and you could see the song demos.

That was actually in the original OoT. I really hope that they do the thing where you can just automatically play the song. Hardcore OoT fans will complain, but they can just play it manually all they want; I, personally, am sick of playing that freaking lullaby.

Oh cmon, it's only 6 presses!

Hey look! The Master Sword actually looks like the Master Sword!

All this aside, I won't lie and say I'm not excited for it. I don't know why, I just... meh, nostalgia and fanboyism at work. Though I'm a little skeptic about Miyamoto's talk about new things everywhere... Not sure what he meant. Could just be a ploy. But for some reason, I want to get this anyway. Ah well. We'll get there when it gets there.

And yes, stop complaining about the songs. They're not the old method of switching the Iron Boots off and on, people.

There are some great graphics in there! Although, there are still quite a bit of lazy graphics in there too. The hands, still don't really impress me. Jabu Jabu's teeth are completely flat, and some of the NPC mouths are flat as well. There could be some definition with the facial features.

I can't help but notice that Link's legs still disappear half-way up the tunic. When climbing long distances (such as up Death Mountain) in the original you can sometimes see the textureless top of his legs. Seems kind of lazy, I still think they should give him white boxers with hearts on them like in The Real Legend.

Overall I'm not pleased with the new Young Link, he seems disproportional and his face looks bloated. Plus the hand shape is debatably worse than the original:

At least he actually looks like a human

One thing that gets me mad is how short Link's new tunic is
It's so tiny!!

Not to mention the fact that Young Link wears no pants!

(Geez, it's been forever since I've been able to use that joke.)

Besides, it's a tunic, not a skirt. And it's not that short. I mean, the camera angle most of the time is more from a higher angle anyway, so it's not like the game is full of young Link panty loin cloth whatever he wears under there shots.

I always thought that he wears shorts under his tunic. And also, like is only like 3 feet high so, that explains it.
