So, I had my first real scare in Eternal Darkness today... Karim went to use his Recovery Amulet (before I got the spell), and um... his torso exploded.

The death sound came, and Karim's legs fell to the ground. I gasped in horror right before the screen went white. Just... holy shit.

This game is... wow. Just wow. Having a little trouble with Karim's second Horror (The blue one, I think)... but I think I got it.

BAM!

Edit: And some translations!

Quote:
 
This information is courtesy of _Xander_ of IGN's Zelda forums. I would have translated this myself had I a copy of this magazine since I speak Spanish. You can view his original thread here.

You can see that Link will have a new farmer-like costume. But it is in which looks to be the first zone of the game, a village called Toaru Village. They say that only the village was quite big, with several zones. Here we see the first Non Playable Characters, who have a very creative stile, between OOT and TWW.

One important thing about Link that we can only notice with his farmer costume: He has the Triforce mark on his left hand. AOL anyone? Another thing is that, even though Link will start the game being 16 years old, he will mature as the story goes on. There's no new info about the story of the game. That's because Aonuma says that they won't say any important things about it until the E3

The scenarios are beautiful, though they are similar to "Fable" (at least the village). Overall, the game has a Shonen Manga look. Aonuma says that they didn't want the game to be too realistic, like in a Square Enix's CG, so they chose this stile.

BTW... Cuccos are back! Only one appears, but it's more than enough to confirm it. They look more realistic than ever.

And more animals. A type of blue cows with huge horns that we find in a ranch (there's no sight of Malon or Talon, and the writer doesn't say anything about if they appear or not...) And this cows have some bad mood: in one pic one of them knocks Link out!

Now, let's go with the info:

The writer played with three different demos, as said before.

In the first demo, the writer played in Toaru Village, and he says that it looks to be the first zone of the game since the demo were a tutorial of the game. Aonuma's intention with this tutorial is making it fun to play, so the noobs of the series learn the basic controls quickly at the same time that experienced players have fun doing several actions. For example, we'll have to help a pregnant woman to carry some heavy stuff to her house. (Yep. This game is clearly more mature ^^)

The second demo happens in the ranch and it shows a mini-game. We'll have to ride the horse and guide all the cows to the stall in a limited time. The writer says that it is incredibly fun!

The last demo, and the most impressive of all, according with the writer, was a horse battle scene. In that demo he had to fight a big enemy with armor, riding a boar (armored too) and a group of minions. There are two ways to defeat him: with the sword or with the bow. But we have to bee near enough to hit him (looks like the arrows won't have infinite range anymore) and get close to him, at the same time we dodge the minion's attacks. The writer says it is really intense! He also said that the battlefield was huge, what made him to ask Aonuma how big the game is going to be. Aonuma said that the game is going to be two or three times bigger than OOT. Maybe even more. And they're trying the game to last 70 hours!

In this demo, there was also a new kind of horse battle: a joust! (Well... more or less. We won't use a spear, but the sword) This joust will be on a stone bridge over a canyon with beautiful looks.

Now to finish, in the last page of the article, they show a square with information of the next Zelda for NDS. Aonuma says that the concept will be quite different from the one in "Four Swords Adventures", though the interaction between characters will be similar. And another important thing: It will have on-line modes with the Wi-Fi of the handheld! He also says that it will use the touch screen and the double screen.


Well, nothing more. I'll try to make more detailed scans of the pics so you can see them, enjoy and start to speculate again lol My first speculation after seeing this new pics is that this Link is a new one. He's not TWW Link grown up. (It doesn't look like it in the new screens with his new costume)

I think it has something to do with buying materials to set a broken leg...

And that is sounding pretty good. 2-3 times bigger then OOT? That is something to look forward too...

Must get new Link, WEE! Must get new Link, WEE!
