Eh, trailers for this game never really did it for me. Gameplay videos, however, show this to be one of the best Zelda games ever. Too bad I don't have a Wii.

Though I am firmly committed to finding someone who does and creepily watching them play it.

Btw, I am entrenched in the camp that views Zelda as an Action Adventure - not an RPG. ¡Wrong forum!

I orginally posted it in normal gaming. It was moved.

Zelda was always under general gaming at FFO. Meh.

I've been excited about this for a couple of months, and this trailer did nothing to change that.

I also think this belongs in general gaming.

Anyway, I'm on complete media blackout regarding this game so I'm not watching any trailers or reading any impressions. I want to experience everything myself.

Moved back to General Gaming. Last I checked, the only Zelda RPG was Zelda 2.

Yeah, it was pretty fucking awesome and one of my favorite games in the series by a healthy margin. :)

Yeah, Zelda II was awesome. I replay it about once a year or so.

I'm also ignoring the Skyward Sword media as much as I am able. I'm not that hyped for it and only reserved it on Amazon for the gold Wiimote and soundtrack CD, but I do want to experience everything first hand when I do get around to playing it.

Wow, I don't even think I'd be more surprised if you said Xenosaga II was your favorite Xeno game.

I definitely understand how somebody could like the game for what it is...but as far as a great "Zelda" game... I just don't see it. No disrespect intended.

I'm coming from the POV that if Zelda games had continued in that style, I probably wouldn't have played many more Zelda games.

Outside of the weird power glitch, it's a really well made game. I swear the only reason it's not remembered more fondly by the legions of Zelda fans is because it's *gasp* different from every other game in the series. I've gotten to the point where I'm completely bored with the series since the basic formula has remained relatively unchanged since LTTP (with exceptions of Majora's Mask and to a lesser extent, Link's Awakening). It's also a big part of why I just don't care about Skyward Sword: unless they actually change things up I'm expecting it to be the same, stale shit I got tired of years ago.

Fair enough.

I had played the game when it was released and I suppose I didn't really get into it at first because I actually wanted more of the first game. After playing it more, mostly because, unlike now, I didn't have a stoopid amount of games, I liked it well enough to play through, but I've never considered it a great Zelda entry. It's fascinating that you think otherwise.

That piqued my interest far more than the trailer ever could.

Thanks for the Link, Der Squirrel.

IMO, that androgynous caped villain has Ganon's puppet character a la Aghanim or Zant written allover him in big flaming neon letters.
