E3 2009 Analysis on The Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks. E3 2009 Trailer. (Edited by Greenalink)

[Takyomi]

Its like Nintendo let 7-year-olds produce this game..A train? Seriously?

[pikoneo]

best graphics than the final version T-T

[shemhead]

This game was shit.

[iDan245]

this game is pretty awesome, I just get it this monday, and I already beat it, but the only think that I didn't liked of this game was the link's voice, they change it! it sounds soooo gay!!!

[nerfguycool]

ya now if zelda in armor gonna be following ya everywhere i hope she dosen't sream at big spiders like the ghost ship girl in ph

[Dayco96]

hahaha vampire killer xD

[DARKMASTERLINKX]

this looks like it'll be nore than what we've seen from phantom hourglass, the gameplay looks more developed, even though some of it is like PH... this will be much different i bet, maybe even much better :D

[TheKayasto]

@DARKMASTERLINKX yea and they only spent 2 years on it O_O it usally takes nintendo 3-6 years to make a good Zelda game, but every new trailer i see for ST the more it looks better and more fun to play ^_^ so now i cant w8 to get it

[3SuperChris3]

wow u noticed ALL of that?Cool

[chocolate14850]

is this goin to be for wii?

[lVlercy]

Great, Zelda games are going downhill....

First you spend half your game play on water (WW) then you do it again (PH). Oh hey look you get to ride on a train now. How fun

[chocolate14850]

wind waker was great!

[darken27]

Well they're obviously getting good reviews, otherwise, Nintendo wouldn't keep making them. I thought Wind Waker was a great game, even if it went a little overboard with the sailing. (No pun intended)

I think this game has potential. I'm not a huge fan of the train idea, but it's a fresh concept. People weren't too keen on Majora's Mask either, because it was so dramatically different, but it's regarded as one of the best Zelda titles now. I'd say give this one a chance.

[2xDimex2]

this one looks soo good cant wait!!!!!!!

[Crichjo32]

I hope you don't have to drag that phantom's sorry ass through every dungeon. He is cramping Link's style!

[erkere33]

If you watched other trailers you would have realized that that is Zelda's spirit in the armor, so no you don't have to drag it around. Her spirit is just gonna following you the whole time.. hopefully not as annoying as Navi...

[Crichjo32]

Yeah I know now. But when I posted that message, that was before all this new information about the game was released. It is going to be kickass having Zelda as Link's new chummy, and about time if you ask me! Though I kind of wished they did it for one of the main Zelda's on the big consoles. As this is a pretty big thing in the Zelda franchise.

[kyleismrsmiley]

I heard she's annoying like Hannah Montana . . . :(

[redboneandguitar]

its awsome like phantom hourglass

[mattbratz911]

the only part i hate is the fricken train

[shadowlink12347]

its cameing out december 16

[Greenalink]

I doubt it,

These release dates are confirmed.

USA/CAN: December 7th

EU: December 11th

[spiano95]

thanks but i need to download it not buy it plz help

[potterbond]

i like how nintendo is so comfortable with this series that they are willing to change it THIS dramaticly. i admire nintendo for that and can't wait to play this game!

[znss]

I'm waiting for this game really really bad.

PH...idk, I didn't like it at first, but later on...I started to like it....

HOWEVER, I would love a Zelda game just like Ocarina Of Time, Wind Waker and Majoras' Mask on the DS...kind of the same graphics (as OOT) but not using the stylus..just like you play a normal Zelda game...lZelda WW, Zelda MM, Zelda OO, Zelda TP (on the GC)...

But...dream is free...xD

Anyway, I'm looking forward to this game.

[obed199]

if they put a four swords minigame, then i will really be the most happy person in the world, just like they did with a link to the past four swords.

[freejanko]

When is LImbeck dead maybe Zelda is talking to you in train :P

[coolmsky15]

looks more like a phantom

maybe its linebeck?

[DanielXLunar]

no linebeck is dead because this takes place 100 years later

[coolmsky15]

then wouldnt link have grey hair?

[coolboyz345]

well as most people already know most link games involve link being a different person evertime just like how its mentioned that everyone in zeldas bloodline is named zelda thats probobly same with link

[potterbond]

not the same link!

[shredder710]

anything known yet about multiplayer?

[coolmsky15]

its 4 player

[RustyLPs]

Greenalink, do you agree?

At 0:17 , if you pause, you can see a temple-like area with trees around it. I think that's the dungeon when you get the WhirlWind ( the pinwheel shown in the e3 demo) because in the bosses intro, she's flying above trees.

[ihatestickfigures]

The whip grappling to the hook really reminded me of Rope Snake in Oshe Castle in Mother 3. Just saying...

[jihoon3079]

where do you buy that game?

is it for the DS? oh is that game new or

old ? i want one so bad

[ZlayerX1090]

Ummm dude this game is Not released yet you have to wait until next year is what i believe the Release Date is

[potterbond]

nah, december 1st of this year is when it comes out!

[ZlayerX1090]

nah its December 16th i just recently saw the release date

[DicesukeInuzuka]

well if you haven't figure out already this game isn't out yet and I am not sure when it will be out it was just announced a month or two ago.

[wooter963]

errr it comes out 12/7/09

[wooter963]

in the u.s.

[FierceIcePaladin]

Do you think this will be connected with hyrule

[dugganater]

there are two phases in the boss. This trailer shows the first one. And also that is not the bosses entrance when it drops bugs. That is the beginning of the second phase.

[wrathfeeling]

The boss in this video is a bit different from the GDC video, since this part of the boss shows the first phase, that of the GDC was the second phase, the ending part, you know he defeated him aswell. Or you confuse me by not showing all stuff that was shown in the E3 part.

[zeldafan99999]

Epic

Win.

[GHdude85]

Vaati as ending boss had been awsome, but i don't think they ever will bring Vaati back. if i had something with the making of the zelda series, vaati would been ending boss in Zelda wii xD

[thunder3737]

Vaati is WIN

Wich one do you like better MC or FS?

[GHdude85]

MC

FS was great but if you ask me it had no re-run value. i played FSA 1 time with 3 players, but i never bother to play it again...

[thunder3737]

Did you ever found out were Vaati was really stupid?

Its a wishing hat just wish Link gone Zelda can also do multiple wishes.

[kevina56]

I wonder what the last boss is.I say it is either vatti came back to life or the real bellum not the one when tetra and link were in a dream

[nomanis2cool]

i am happy that a new zelda but worried if its only for dsi i have a ds

[AvengerStar5]

They use the same cartridge, so you're good to go.

[disa3006]

Dont worry Even if it is for dsi or ds, they have the same game chips and slots so i dont think its a diference if they make it on ds or dsi

[S0namus]

man, I can't wait for this ^^

[kalanaama123123]

i think this would be even better thn PH

[mushycomics]

the reason there is a whip is because in ph there were sooo many glitches that you could do with the grappling hook in my opinion anyway

[TriforceBrawl3250]

Here's some of my feedback (nice analysis)

first of all, you can see that a track near the castle goes off, and since in the first video you can see link delivering a letter to the princess, there may be different castles, as castles are equivalents to docks, seen at 0:10-0:12

Maybe tunnels go between regions?

Also, Link's voice sounds different at 0:35, but is minor

I also think that the larvae of the first boss are used like cyclos in phantom hourglass to take the boss out of the sky.

[Nintendoholic07]

not sure bout the whip but since it could latch on to stuff like the Grappling Hook in WW then, i suppose...i dunno i still don't like how it whips arround...i mean, wasn't there a grappling hook in PH too? so why does this one have to be like a whip? i dunno im really not sure bout this game, i would much rather have another console zelda instead...

[Greenalink]

There were some variations of the same item like in the previous Zelda games

.

Some examples:

Gale Boomerang, (based on the Boomerang)

Roc's Cape, (based on Roc's Feather)

Magic Armour (like Nayru's Love)

And the Whip is based on the Grapping Hook from the Wind Waker.

Yes there was a Grappling Hook in Phantom Hourglass, I guess Nintendo didn't want the exact same items, so they add some variation of the original item instead.

[nintendork64]

Spirit tracks looks decent but I'm still waiting for a Wii Zelda title.

[zombiseatppl]

you didnt mention the heart meter on the train. which seems to stay at four, also they are blue

[PearlJammer07]

Analyst. LOL!

[disdude377]

looks like fun =D

when does it come out?

[cybernerd129]

Indiana Link looked kinda pointless, but nice analysis. You pointed out a lot of things I wouldn't have realized.

[CaptainX24]

Cool speculations. You don't mind if I post mine as response do you?

[Greenalink]

Sure, I accepted it :)

[CaptainX24]

Thanks! I don't know if you watched it all the way through, but something you may have missed in yours is that Link now has 5 hearts in the dungeon. In the GDC trailer, he had only 3...

[Greenalink]

I listen to it and it sounds pretty good.

This E3 trailer didn't show the boomerang at all.

From IGN's Spirit Tracks Discovery (off-screen) video they've changed the Whistle icon to a "Call" icon.

[captainkeeeta]

I nearly shit my pants when I saw the vampire killer. I was like OMGWTFBBQ A CASTLEVANIA REFERENCE IN A ZELDA GAME!!!!!!!!!!

But then I was like... :'(

[Greenalink]

2 Decent titles this Winter,

Spirit Tracks (DS)

and

New Super Mario Bros Wii
