Of course I have. In fact, I thought that was where our very own "Link" got his name from.

The first Zelda game on the NES was actually the first computergame i played (and finished).After that i've played the Adventure of Link,the SNESgame (link to the past?) and both N64-games.Although i haven't played them for quite a while,i still think those are great games.Think Majora's mask is the last Zelda game i bought.I'm not gonna buy a Gamecube (i think).
So yeah,i remember!

I loved Zelda for the N64 (Ocarin of Time - mispelled, but ya know what I mean...) but I didn't really think it had much replay value...

I've heard of it and played and loved most of the games, both NES the SNES game, the GB game, the 2 N64 incarnations. as far as Nintendo's new gaming directions how about the new Metroid? Turning a classic game and characters into a quake clone? anyone else think this is a moronic idea? of course i wasn't overly fond of them turning link into a Lara Croft copy in the N64 games.

You know I really wouldn't mind if it was done with Cell shaded graphics. As long as they hadn't shown us what the game would look like with realistic graphics, it was incredible. Those three screenshots had got me thinking if Gamecube could produce games like that within the first years of its life it must be an incredible machine. But then they announce that they will be using Cell shading instead, they unveil the new Link which looks like a pixie with a huge head with scary manga style eyes. Compare that to the ultrarealistis Link shown at Spaceworld last year! Needless to say I have lost all faith in Nintendo. First they release a INCREDIBLY short game that will take you two days to finish (Luigi's mansion), then Pikman a good idea but again short, they then announce that all there ames in the future will be directed against the younger audience (and they will all be short too apparently), then the Link incident and THEN Mario. We were promised a new more mature look for Mario and what happens to him? He wears denim trousers instead of what he used to wear...Thats it!? The new game's storyline (Mario Sunshine)does'nt show too much promise either Peach goes on holiday to an island (presumably to avoid getting captured by Bowser AGAIN) and when she arrives she notices that the island is covered in colours and monsters. Mario being the nice guy that he is volunteers to remove the colours with his new water gun backpack and to get rid of the monsters. But I still love the other developers such as Rare and Sega, but Nintendo has certainly lost it's way IMHO (except for the consoles though), and by the way Zelda is brilliant and the two on the N64 were some of the best games I have ever played. -Angry moaning mode off-
I agree totally! It was a very foolosh thing for Nintendo to do; changing realistic graphics to cell-shaded graphics! I thought Nintendo were trying to make games for the older market! I suppose we'll all have to wait and see if the Gamecube will go the same way as the N64.

Yep, I've heard of Zelda. I've played both games on N64 and LOVED them, and two on GB.
I'm looking forward to the new game on Gamecube, but IMO, the incredibly graphics makes it look too cartoonish. Cant say if this is a bad thing or not, but it will certainly be different to play it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

well the way I see it: If the graphics are toned down, then won't more game-play be added? How many more dungeons can you fit on that teeny disk when link isn't made up of a good 700 million triangles? A few I'd suppose...
