Oh, But Back to That New Look..

It really is impossible to play the new Zelda without first letting its new toon-shaded visual style wallop you over the head. Link, all of his enemies and his entire world have all been created using simple, expressive shapes and bright colors, but everything moves with absurdly smooth animation. The final result is a game that looks like a 3D cartoon. 'We intentionally tried to turn it into a cartoon,' Miyamoto says, 'so that maybe if a kid was playing the game at home and his parents were watching him they might think, 'Oh, he's watching cartoons.' But then they might look again, do a double take and realize, no he's controlling a cartoon.'

Linked to the Past

But while Miyamoto is throwing Zelda fans a graphical curveball, he has wisely left the classic gameplay intact, choosing only to add compelling new aspects to the established system. If you've played Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask on the Nintendo 64, you'll know exactly what to do here. This pint-sized Link runs, auto-jumps, climbs and fights just like his N64 forerunner. Avant garde game. You still lock-on to enemies and assign subweapons and items such as the hookshot or boomerang to various buttons (see the big screen to the right for a closer look). Link does have some nifty new moves as well, including a Solid Snake-style wall shimmy, rope-swinging skills and the ability to pick up enemies' weapons.

Link's new stealth moves came into play in one of the demo's levels, in which he explores the 'Island of the Mystical Beast,' a heavily guarded fortress. https://ninworldof.netlify.app/star-trek-armada-pc-download.html. Hiding in the shadows, edging along walls and crawling through ducts help avoid capture here. Acrobat pdfmaker office add in free. Giant searchlights sweep through the area, and Link can even hide inside a barrel to elude the nasty patrolling Moblins. It's this kind of intense gameplay that eliminated any concern over Zelda's challenge being scaled back to match the new kiddie look. 'Even with the cel-shading,' Miyamoto tells us, 'the world is so immersive that people are going to be able to experience it a lot more fully than they did in past Zeldas.'

Another playable area featured a colossal centipede living in a pool of molten lava. While it was tempting to just stand and stare in slack-jawed amazement at this beast and its writhing animations, we found that fighting the monstrosity was actually the highlight of Zelda demo.

Link's meager sword was no match for the critter's armored skin; we needed a little ingenuity to prevail. With Link's hookshot and a careful aim, we swung over the fiery pit and loosened a large boulder looming overhead. Three of these swings brought the rocks tumbling down onto the monster, weakening it enough for our sword to hurt it. And there ya go: a perfect Zelda boss battle--challenging, innovative and breathtaking.

The Greatest Story Never Told

So, now that you've seen the amazing new graphics and experienced the solid game-play, what else about Zelda could surprise you? The plot. The game's official tagline, 'The Legend is Reborn,' is right on. As the game opens, Link celebrates his 12th birthday with his grandmother and sister in their quaint fishing town. Grandma gives him his trademark green duds, while Arril, his sis, presents him with a nifty telescope. He looks skyward and spies a huge, evillooking bird being attacked by a nearby pirate ship. The frazzled bird drops a mysterious girl into the forest and Link investigates. Just as he reaches her, however, the bird swoops down and snatches Arril with its talons. With a sword in hand and a damsel in distress, Link's adventure has begun. We like the intro and new characters, but questions fill our heads. Where is Princess Zelda? What about series boss Ganon? Is this world even Hyrule? Sadly, Miyamoto isn't talking about the storyline. All we got out of him was a sly, elfin smile.
