Zelda games discussion

I'm really not sure myself, I can't think of any reason. Can't think of anything it would have broken from a programming perspective.

It wouldn't have and "programming" reasons probably shouldn't be considered in this case at all.
It's more likely that there's no real reason for the day night system outside (err, inside?) of the 3 sky areas. It's where all the civilization is and nothing else would really be affected by it on the surface. So it's just used for special events (getting the Goddess Sword, etc) and & sidequests.

Well they've already got the day night system, all you need for night is a lightning change, nothing else on the surface world had to have changed. It's just odd, in my opinion.

Maybe they kept the overworld daylight so the silent realms held greater contrast?

That could be it. Or maybe they simply wanted to torment us by not allowing us to fly.

I they should've given us the headlights/helmet that the knight's Loftwing's wear as an item for our Loftwing.
As for the surface, it'd actually be pretty cool to go there at night. More monsters & Cursed Bokoblins won't be a problem as we could receive the Loftwing headlight in the later parts of the game. An optional Lantern as a pouch item would be a good idea as well, not to mention a larger variety of nocturnal insects.
Oh, and Eldin's lava at night would be beautiful. I think the only bad thing about the surface at night would be the complete lack of background music. But that's part of the night's atmosphere and constrast to day.
The more I think about this the more I realise this is a decent idea.

It's official , Those paired games that leaked on 4chan are 100% fake. One of the big things that actually pointed it out that they where fake besides the fact it came from 4chan was that the fire was written in kanji and ice was written in katakana. It would make it less obvious to be a fake was if the person that came up with those fake logos should have made both fire and ice in kanji or katakana. Then again fakes these days are getting pretty good since of programs like Adobe Photoshop for example.

[Hydrohs]

I don't think there were a whole lot of people who actually thought they were real...

[DaAuraWolf]

I actually thought that they where real until I read that the logos originally came from 4chan. That total set it off as total fakes since that trusting something that came from 4chan is like the Black Market. They are both shady places that you would more than likely ripped-off even if they sound that they are real.

But hey , It would be more than likely we would hear true info about the Zelda 3DS game come Game Developers Conference in March. Though it might be like Super Mario 3D Land in which the announced it at GDC and didn't reveal the title till E3.

I was thinking more along the lines of Nintendo already doing this with Pokemon and bringing Zelda into the mix as 2 separate games wouldn't be a good idea. Oracle games didn't sell to well if I remember correctly.

i would love to see a few zelda games realesed in the pokemon realese format like the oracle games

It works for Pokemon because there are monsters to be traded. But Zelda? No!

I refuse the idea of having to buy 2 $40 games just to experience the adventure in each game. If Nintendo does that then I will simply not buy it.

Have you ever played either Oracle games? The two are completely different. The only thing that's the same is that they both star Link.

I'd love to see them do what they were originally intending with the Oracle games, there were supposed to be three games, one for each part of the Triforce and the games were built around that idea. Which was why Ages was much more puzzle-centric and Seasons had more action.

Seasons was also going to be a Zelda 1 remake, Ages I believe a Zelda 2 remake, and "Courage" was going to be a new thing iirc.

Seasons and Ages are what they're supposed to be, they had to cut the Courage game because of the difficulty of having three different games connect to each other in order to unlock the full story, so they settled with two.

EDIT: Did some more reading, very early on they were supposed to be remakes as you said. But they encountered issues even then, which is when they because the Oracle series. The series is plagued with trouble xD

[Serebii!]

I have still been playing Skyward Sword, I just reached Lanayru Mining Facility and I got stuck for a bit but I found the Gust Bellows. I have been trying to upgrade my equipment, I find it takes a while to collect large amounts of rupees to buy expensive items

Have people listened to the CD that comes with Skyward Sword, I would but I don't have a CD player

Reply in bold. I know they are different experiences which is why I would not like the game split into 2. Then I would have to spend $80 most likely just to experience both games and whatever minor differences they have from the other version.

But you're okay with Pokémon doing it.

Also, the Oracle games sold just fine.

Yes because that is the basis of pokemon. To capture monsters and trade them between friends and battle with them. Zelda doesn't need that. Maybe some co-op sections in console Zelda or something akin to 4 swords but not split the game into 2.

Its nintendo's property so they can do whatever, but I'm just voicing my opinion that if they did do something like that, I wouldn't buy it.

The Oracles weren't "split into 2". They were two distinct and separate titles conceived and developed with each other and a shared, linked final scenario in mind.
