@aeolus9812 This is a literal translation, which to be honest, lose some or a lot of the original meaning. The NoA is what is written in Japanese, the way it's supposed to come out. The NoA one is easy to understand which is another reason why they would use it. I personally prefer the NoA, but to each his own.
One thing I've notice is that the farther you go back in the timeline the more epic the stories/games are. If there is a game before this one then goddess help us we may not being able to handle it!
Can you say, Miyazaki???...Everything to the animations to the story and to the music has received so much attention to detail. This game will surely be a breath of fresh air and WILL be one of the best fucking Zelda's to date.
@Metnik Yeah... they can't just use the same dozen songs over and over.... Also we heard two songs here, I'm sure we'll hear some classic ones later on. But they need new ones too.
I don't know why... but that main shadow at :25 gives me this vibe that the main bad guy is the wizard Agahnim from A Link to the Past..... The original Agahnim that is, not the clone or alter-ego Ganon used.. I hope I'm right... :)
@jstark069 The reason I say this is because I'm pretty sure the Wind Fish is in this game. Since in Link's awakening he was part of final "Nightmare" in the Wind Fish's egg. Indicating he was real person from the past, not just an alter-ego of Ganon.... Can't friggin wait.... :)
@ukiome , this was pretty nice, also the music is 10/10 , show me another zelda intro like this with orchestrated music. Also if people get exited its maybe because there are fans of the game and been waiting for this for 6 years now. and also what if this is a pretty intro but u r a douche?
@nevarky exactly, hence fitting into the timeline, skyward sword explains how many things come in existence: gannondorf, the mastersword etc. Shigsy and others have already said you will notice things that are in skyward sword link to ocarina of time
@cgrcmyg I think I got your comment wrong, now I understand what you meant by "it fits the split time line", I thought you meant that this game was a missing link that supported that theory.
I came to this page to listen to yet another great intro for the Zelda series, but instead I was met with great disappointment. Wind Waker and even Twilight Princess has more epic and touching music than this, let's hope that the ingame soundtracks sound better.
You know what I hear when I listen to this piece of the soundtrack? The Zelda composer Koji Kondo collaborating with Hayao Miyakai's music guy. This is amazing!
@CrystalBahamut I'll still enjoy this game greatly as is. I barely have functioning SD TVs that's all I'm saying. Plus it just stretches the game visuals out if I plug it into my monitor. I just wish there's another version on top for Wii U perhaps.
@CrystalBahamut It's my fault too. I made it sound like I was slamming the Wii. I can't handle standard def anymore since I've been playing games in high definition since 2005. I would LOVE to see Wii games become truly high def someday. That, plus how truly good standard def TVs are a dying breed in stores.
Wow this has got me super stoked! I'm sure Nintendo's localization team can come up with a much more "tasteful" translation than this though. "They robbed those who inhabited the land of their smiles" I'll admit that I laughed at this.
Woah this was very different from what I expected. I see now what the press were saying about the music now it feels fresh and new unlike Twilight Princess (which was good but stuck to the formula way too closely). I'm feeling very good about this game now almost like entering new territory. Can't wait to hear the Silent Realm music!
Wow you put Zelda 1 and 2 above games such as Wind Waker, Seasons/Ages, and Twilight Princess? A Link to the Past I'd understand, but think about what you said. There were only 4 Zelda games before Ocarina. 1, 2, a Link to the Past, and Link's Awakening. Unless you count the crappy CD-i games. Just say you don't like the Zelda franchise altogether. XD
This was freaking amazing! I'm so proud of Nintendo for trying to create the best Zelda title ever. Cinematic, orchestrated and emotional. Just the way I love it!
@HappyfaceSpider1 I agree. I was wondering if any one else saw that. Does this mean that Ghirahim will be part of a group of evil villains? Ah, that would be so cool. I love Villain Groups, like Organization XIII, or the Judges from FF12, or the Espada and Akatsuki from Bleach and Naruto.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed it as well! Also the middle one kinda looks like Ganon, the pig-like monster form (even though they said Ganon won't be in the game).
I fall in love with the music, breathtaking and beautiful. The artwork and story just sent chills down my spine, this is my new favorite Zelda opening! Always loved the music in the games, they're so memorable!
@educate9946 don't expect it all to be that good. remember Twilight Princess had 2 or 3 or 4 orchestrated pieces, but the rest was Midi..... i would guess this game will be the same way. but hey, i hope i'm wrong, because the music lends itself really well to full orchestration..
