A topic that I've wanted to talk about for a while.

Here we can see the images of a more Ocarina of Time like game for the Gamecube, originally being developed before Nintendo decided to flush realism down the toilet, and make us all puke over a round, big headed link that makes even sonic look more realistic.

This is pretty cool actually:

So, what do you make of it? I guess that we kinda got what we wanted it TP, but I honestly think it's pretty awesome that this game used pretty much the same graphic style as Ocarina of Time 3D.

I'm not sure if it was meant for anything other than trailer just to get something out, my guess is it wasn't always intended for that and only that

If Nintendo had used this graphic style, and finished this as a game, I think that maybe all my maturity woes with the series might have never happened. I mean, three games in a row with the same graphics, that would have pretty much set it in stone, or at least I would like to think. The other thing going for this is the fact that the two Oracle games were also based heavily of The Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask- and used pretty similar promotional artwork. The graphic style makes me think Gamecube alright, and teenage friendly (minus the trash in most T- rated games nowadays).

I would like to think about what this game might have featured. A new overworld perhaps? Yeah, there's no way of knowing, but I'm sick of the overused one. Kakariko is here. Death mountain here. Oh well.

Well I'm always up for a throwback kind of game.

OoT and MM graphics incorporated into a new Zelda game would be fun, but realistically I don't seem them making a comeback in the future. Games are largely about graphical advancement, and with the current level of Zelda graphics set by games like TP, I find it incredibly unlikely that anything less than that will be showing up in future Zelda titles. 

However, I DO think that they'll be some kind of Zelda compilation filled with remastered tiles from the good old N64 days. And THAT'll be a blast to play.

NVTaks : Yeah, I have all high hopes for the return of that awesome format. I would so play a rerelease of those precious N64 titles, had I not overplayed them already. XD

Sword legion : Psssssh.

Overplay a Zelda game?? You say that like it's possible XD.

Oh! I remember seeing this stuff before! The tech demo, right? Personally, I'm fine with the game we got, but I do agree that graphics like these would've been cool, but dated.
From what I heard (have to find a source) This was only ever going to be a demo, though.

NVTaks :

Me at grandparents house.

Multiple awesome glitches in Ocarina of time (even granting the player blue, green, or black colored gauntlets!)

Grandparents don't care how much you play (cept grandpa mostly )

To much Zelda. I've played through OOT completely 3 times, but I've glitched it several times and put several hours into it trying to acomplish task impossible without glitches, like beating Volvagia as Young Link.


Shoot, I just got a shot of Nostalgia, I think I'm wanting to Play OOT again.

Thanks tanks. XD

Aw man, those screenshots make me angry at Nintendo all over again. xD We got WW instead of THIS?

I honestly thought you were exaggerating until I clicked on the first link. I froze in my tracks (I'm browsing from a phone, so I'm walking while posting) and simply said "whoa.". Yeah, these shots are THAT impressive. They make the GameCube's graphics look ten times better than they were (maybe more like twice as good, but you get it), and make the game so appealing just because of the styling.

Don't get me wrong, I love my TP graphics, but these rank right up there with those. If they don't tie, they come in a very close second.

Oh Nintendo...why did you do this to us? lol

Eirinn :

I know! I was shocked by those graphics as well. I love them personally. *sigh* If only ender were here. . . XD

I KNOW!

I think the toon-ness needs to stay in Sonic.
Oh well, there's nothing we can do now.

Good find though sword.
