The Legend Of Zelda

What makes Nintendo the best? Is it their innovation, their ability to bring our game after game of utter brilliance? Well, these both apply, but the most important thing is the fact that they have made characters they have been around since the 80's. Nintendo don't sell out their characters. They let them develop and become loved by all. Other companies try to make characters but they lack warmth and are soon sold out to other companies. Nintendo are different, they have a number of characters that will never be sold. They are Nintendo's mascots, the Nintendo family. Most of the characters come from the Mario area but one character, perhaps the one with the most life is not from Mushroom Kingdom, he is a young elf who has had many adventures on all Nintendo systems. All of these adventures have been unique in their own little way. Link is a person who is filled with charisma, when you play these games you become Link. You become part of the game. Something most games lack. Now on the fabulous Nintendo GameCube we are eagerly awaiting the next Zelda game. Ocarina of Time was regarded as the best game of all time, not only by Nintendo fans but also critics. People were excited about this game from day one but soon lost interest when they showed the new cel - shaded graphics. It is a shame that people are scared of innovation. Any true gamer will realise that this game will be good no matter what it looks like. Sure, great graphics make a game that little but better but what people fail to see is that these are good graphics. This game will be one of the greatest games ever made. God himself would have trouble beating it.

As far as story goes I don't know too much. Link's sister has been kidnapped and it is up to Link to save the day. On his way he will face hundreds of foe, huge evil bosses and off course will face everyday people in Hyrule or wherever the game is set.
Graphics, well we all know their cel - shaded. Why? Because cel - shading can really show of Link's emotions. Cel - shading looks fine. Something different for a change. Sure, the original look would have been great but that would take away from the story and life the game has. A game is about fun not look.
Sound should be fine. Sound is not important in my opinion. Hopefully they will have voices and text but we will see.
Gameplay is similar to the OoT and Majora's Mask. With added weapons/tools and new enemies the gameplay should be fantastic.
We all can't wait for Zelda. I don't have to write paragraphs about look/sound/gameplay because we all know there is no such thing as a Zelda game. This game is my most anticipated game of all time. Not just because Zelda/Link games are extremely fun but because I am interested to see if this game can top OoT.
This game should be perfect in everyway. I am confident this game will send a shockwave throughout the gaming world. This game will put other gaming companies to shame. Giving them something to think about - what a good game is really about.
