Canceled Zelda Game-Tech (GCN Concept video Spaceworld 2000)

[trynextmonday]

I loved all the Zelda games :)

I wish Nintendo could be cool and put combo attacks :(

and the enemies were smarter :l and more endurant :l

[MrZangetsu468]

WW looks better in hindsight, this looks like arsepiss now but WW aint half bad even though I dont like the game much itself.

[wollclark]

Wind Waker's still my favorite Zelda game.

[JonnyJinx04]

Wind Waker was dreadfully boring compared to most Zelda games. Other than that, it was pretty good.

[EDWARDCR]

@JonnyJinx04 And when you consider that gameplay is what mattters most... damn I wasted my money on that shit.

[organs]

This seems like it'd be a good graphic style for the more.....teen-oriented Zelda games. The style used for Wind Waker seemed better suited for the kid-friendly ones.

Not that you have to be a kid or teen to play these games, but Wind Waker was more Dora the Explorer and Twilight Princess was more like the movie Willow. Kinda, sorta, I dunno...

[dawgfacesoldier]

@organs But you gottta think that GCN Zelda game would of been crap now. I loved the Wind Waker because it was something that would last. The atmosphere of that game, if you got over the "kid looking" aspect it was a very enjoyable game. They didnt try to max out the graphics on the gamecube right off the bat in reture they got a game that is still 100% playable today almost 10 years later

[organs]

@dawgfacesoldier I can appreciate that. That's why I got a Wii back in the day over the XBox and PS3. I cared more about games than graphics.

At the same time, I'm starting to get tired of the Zelda games. I know they're all more or less the same game, but the sameness is sort of wearing thin on me.

[WebVMan]

Now, this is the GCN Zelda I wanted!!!

[kr1spness]

I wanted this game, but I said ok since Wind Waker seemed fresh and new. I wanted the game shown at E3 '09 but they scrapped that for Skyward Sword. It doesn't seem fresh and new, it seems like a mash-up. It's a pity really.

[dillonberserk]

The title is misleading sorta. But glad so or I never would have found this game. I'd never type "concept zelda" or whatever, i just searched unreleased zelda game

[thelinkmaster11]

now i know where the skyward sword graphics came from

[rogums]

@thelinkmaster11 This looks nothing like skyward sword - And anywho - I'm glad they didnt use this style. Wind waker and twilight princess both have unique and amazing atmospheres generated by their style, this looks souless like Ocarina of time - not htt im saying that was a bad game but it didnt really have much of a 'style' It as more or less, just the best the n64 could do.

[michiyoyoshiku]

1 star for misleading title. This was a concept video

[tehjonbro]

Call me crazy but I think cell-shading works far better than this for a game like Wind Waker.

[linkrazr]

I don't understand what so many peoples problem with Wind Waker was. Did the graphics shock me at the big E3 reveal? Sure, since I expected the video above. But the way the game moved, the story, and the sailing into the blue discovering islands was mind blowing. I think Wind Waker had one of the best thought out plots in the entire Zelda series, Ocarina was amazing sure..but it still sort of tweeked the Link to the Past formula.

[billbo40]

hate to say it but cell shaded<real link

i guess i played too much alttp and oot to like that new little kiddie link thing they put out in ww lol

[violink4swords]

I think that nintendo could have had this by asking for Ganondorf to be in SCII with link. and take out necrid in the gamecube version

[CubeMS]

i think it was good that they made windwaker instead of this crap

[tomontherun99]

i enjoyed windwaker but i was disappointed about the cell-shaded at first but it grew on me, oh well at least this still kinda lives on in twilight princess

[Joolesasher]

It's just a demo showing off what it can do, like they did with the FFVII-opening rendered in PS3-graphics.

[Lehgavader]

This still looks great even after nearly ten years.

[Voliko1]

they chose cell-shading over this!? Fuck you nintedo.

[Joroshira]

Those graphics, on the gamecube?

I came.

[nihonzashi]

Man, why'd they scrap this and go with cell shading? I really don't like the new art direction at all

[HyperSonicXtreme]

It's not a cancelled game, it's just a demonstration tech demo of the Nintendo gamecube's graphical engine.

[jsdman1234]

Thats not a canceled one,

thats part of the original ocarina of time trailer,

[enterprise0709]

THis isn't a cancled zelda game. It whas part of the Spaceworld 2000 Gamecube promo. I think that nothing from that promo had to be taken as the anouncement of a new game. In fact: it would have been wise of Nintendo to state at the begining of the promo that nothing is ment to be an anouncement of a new game.

[iorelk]

i remeber another cancelled version for nintendo 64 but looks horrible was when the nintendo 64 was relased

[randompizza132]

it wasn't canceled. these were the graphics they were going to use for the wind waker, but then they decided to try cell shading.

[WestfieldK]

damn the best zelda game is cancelled1 u..u

[flmae46]

i see it as more of a Zelda fighting game nintendo was going to do but they just said "ah fuck it lets have him rape ppl in soul caliber"

[phantomdoodler]

yeah wasnt this for the "dolphin" along with "meowths party" and other shit like that?

[WestfieldK]

the dolphin is just a gamecube prototype, just like the wii that the prototype was called the revolution

[goldlink10]

fu@# why does it have to be canceld sun ofa bit@#

[TheVGFP]

This is a fake video, what this video is is a GameCube tech demo from before it was released.

FAKE!!!

FAKE!!!

FAKE!!!

LIAR!!!

Go make a Rick Roll, you waste of bandwidth.

[JetHanzo]

Hey, read the description. You basically stated what the uploader said. I hate when you people don't read the description. Seriously ._.

[Darkangel754]

Good to hear some people read video descriptions

[TheVGFP]

Yes, and it still claims to canceled game right there on top, regardless.

[goldlink10]

hctib ay uoy kcuf

[TheVGFP]

Go read Game Informer.

Make sure you now what are the best games before they even come out, or in the case of Ghost Busters, before they even have anything to show.

[Chdonga]

Game Informer is one of the worst gaming magazines, I don't give a fuck what they say on the front cover. They give great games a low rating because of bad camera angles or because it's in first person perspective so the makers must be trying to rip off Halo.

[TuahShinguru]

[Insert game here.] "Just another Halo ripoff."

Halo = Just another Goldeneye ripoff.

Goldeneye = Just another Doom ripoff.

Etc.

Some people can be pretty stupid, eh? xP

[Jayday12345678910]

actualy it was made into LOZ:TP

[WestfieldK]

and thats what I hate

[Molgera69]

This looks hella cool they should have made this too

whats up with nintendo cancelling all the good ideas they have

kameo elments of power was going to be on gamecube and it was sold to microsoft and then released on xbox360 same with conkers bad fur day

[camaxtle]

in any casu zelda rules, we are talking about it even now in our free time,not everygame has that power.

[frazzleberry]

I remember the day that hit the net, I was like 10-11 somewhere around there and I was just blown away. Although alot of people hated Wind Waker i Think it was a amazing game.

[NevaRogue]

This was not a scene from a canceled game. It was a technical demo shown at Spaceworld 00 to show the 3d rendering and graphical power the Gamecube. However, I really think that Windwaker (though it was cool in its won right) would have been better received had in been designed as this demo was instead of its cel-shaded style

[crazyfunny23]

it looks like twilight princess

[Oyiket]

Sept wors graphics XD

The Graphics actually scare me O-o

Glad they made wind waker so they could wait to make better graphics for TP

[AliminiumHydroxide]

Wind Waker was my personal fav Zelda game.

Yeah... so sue me for it not being Ocarnina

[813mm]

A Link To The Past for me:)

[Light14Lilium]

my favorite was majora's! :D

[knightonlinefan]

never was a game -.-

just demonstration

[sdm42393]

It was a tech demo, just as the FF7 video was for the PS3.

[blitser]

It wasn't a game. It was a tech demo used to show the graphical power of the Gamecube.

[AxelsGarage]

This wasn't so much a game.

Just a tech demo for the Gamecube.

[wisemunchlax]

This was just a tech demo. Never really was for a game.

[SorcererAndrex]

Amazing how dated this looks compared to Twilight Princess, despite both running on GameCube hardware. Makes me excited for the stuff we'll see at the end of this generation.

[russoc4]

it's interesting that the shield is the one from majora's mask. kudos to nintendo for resurrecting this battle in some form in twilight princess :)

[hero121385]

I remember first seeing this video and being blown away by the graphics..strange how things seem to progress.

[Thinker302]

I love how Link tossed aside his shield before the clip ended : )

[ArkRiley]

He was preparing to use Satsugeki Bukouken. F'real.

[boomstick545]

I hate to say this but I enjoyed wind waker more than twilight princess

[nicklinkzelda]

You're not alone. I did, too. The progression of the story in Twilight Princess was soo slow and it wasn't as interesting as Wind Waker. Plus the Wii controls were just...wack!

[UltimaChaos298]

Same here. WW was less confusing.

[SorcererAndrex]

Both have their charms, but the Wii controls were not whack. Well, maybe the wolf's.

[VA20M]

@boomstick545 same with me..... same with me

[Guiii41]

@boomstick545 i could never say that, sail completely sucks for me, I got me so bored that i didnt ended the game not because it was hard but because I rather do something even boring that do that

[Masterfuryx]

actually it is a cancelled project, before windwaker they had their minds on a more grown up graphic improvement of the N64 Versions.

[Drakulbites]

I've read more than once this was just a tech demo. Also The Wind Waker is, apparantly, the way Shigeryu always intended/wanted Zelda to look graphically. Cartoon like. Obviously with restrictions back in the 80's it couldn't be done. When he finally got it looking the way he always wanted it, there was uproar. If you're wondering why he waited until the GC to do toon style, it was probably because that was the first Nintendo console that could pull it off as well as he wanted.

[StewieTheGiant]

Thankfully the Art style/direction in Twilight Princess was so much better looking than this.

[reinhartdark]

hey this is not a cancelled game of zelda this video is only demostrating the power of the gamecube

[Bkeastsider]

hey we got twilight so dont be mad

[XDrizztFan87X]

this looks soo much better than cartoon looking cell shaded graphics of windwaker

[RemusLupo]

are you kidding...reboot had better faccial animation then this and the cell shading design works well for the type of game that wind waker is.

[dadatsointsoin]

this is not a cancelled game, just a technical demo.

[killeverything200]

@dadatsointsoin Technology demo...

[aff1993]

This was the option between Wind Waker designs, well whoever chose the current winkwaker design was an idiot! wud have much preferred this!

[DarkBandicoot]

This was going to be a game...? Seriously!? Aww man, I'd prefer this to Wind Waker, which was pretty good, but this looked more awsome! Link vs Ganondorf = winner! I thought it was just a sample of the GameCube's power.

[akumacornflakes]

It IS just a sample of the Gamecube's power. This guy's probably just saying it's cancelled to get more views.

[shrek187]

Yeah like the FF7 PS3 Tech Demo

[arcadezz]

hight higha high HEEYAW
