Like I said earlier, despite the new twist I'm expecting for this game to be fun anyway. I just hope the game has the quality that we're used to and isn't just a game that's slapped together and shipped out for more money.

I don't mind the Wind Waker style, I think it's what works best for DS. Can you imagine them trying to make a realistic-looking Link on the DS? That is, if they wanted to keep the 3D graphics.

Also I just want to make it clear that I didn't make this topic as a complaint toward the game.

My comment was directed at those numerous complainers on several forums, I've read quite a few negative comments on it and such since the initial buzz; I think some of them were spoiled with TP's graphics a bit.

Plus they don't have to aim for realism, the DS is more powerful than the N64, so they can easily make a 3D game with better graphics than OoT if they wanted.

A boat seemed like something that they'd commonly use, as I said I'm not a fan of zelda games so I wasn't sure how many times they used it.


You can travel much faster with a train, traveling a long distance by horse could take quite a while. You'd think that a horse would be faster then a sail boat though, so by them adding the train it can be a way to travel very long distances faster. Though it's also not a bullet train, so a horses running speed could compare to it's speed to an extent.

Even if they've barely used boats in zelda games, I'm sure that they've used horses far many more times. They probably don't want to over use the concept of it and have people lose interest, so they're opting for a change for atleast this game. They can always go back to using a horse and a boat in the next zelda game, and it could seem more fresh after the last game that they had used something different in.

You are certainly entitled to thinking so, but don't presume it is the way everybody feels... because it's not.


Mh... no *bashes silly anachronisms some more*


Uh... not really.
The horse was in Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, one stage of Four Swords Adventures and Twilight Princess.

FSA hardly counts, so that means horses appaeared just once more compared to boats.

And if they needed something faster (which I doubt, since it seems unlikely for a DS game to be larger than Twilight Princess) they could easily come up with something that fits the fantasy setting, like a dragon to ride or something like that.
