Im honestly not that impressed - I can see the resemblence to the N64 version, the town / characters, whilst definately higher textured / poly count, seem to move and behave like they did in the previous games.

Ill be very disappointed if I play this and there are few new features, if it is just a higher res version of the N64 games (albeit with slightly different plot) I think Ill let this one pass me by.

honestly i don't see how you think it looks like the N64 games. it's a MUCH better look, and NO they don't move the same. they seem to have a MUCH more fluid movement in here. as for the person who posted those two pics...... uuh... no. once again someone who DOESN'T PAY ATTENTION! around the time of all that Spaceworld 2000 (or whatever it was called) Zelda video..... Nintendo said that something along those lines would be released, but not as of then. they said they would release an interrim game to hold us Zelda fans over during the time period before the awesome looking game comes out. Wind Waker was that game. not only was it fun, it was also like a test-bed for Nintendo.... seeing what the community thought about the new fighting system and everything else. Why Cell shaded? cause it's easier to make, and wouldn't take as much time to make.

as for the first picture he posted with the funky looking link...... those were screens that were out, i believe, before even the E3 video. i don't think Nintendo ever had plans to make Link look like that.

You cant call someones opinion about something wrong - if I said it was a FACT you could say it was wrong, but thats it. I couldnt care less, to be truthful, as to how you see it.

It does look like the N64 games, the mechanics of the engine are remarkably similar to OoT from the video. Whether it plays differently remains to be seen.

Im not saying the N64 mechanics were bad - dont get me wrong - they were great and extremely functional, no point in fixing something that isnt broken, but I would have hoped to have seen more advances from the video rather than run around, talk to randon person doing idle animation, random task, reward.

Its a time proven formula, it works, but I was hoping for more.

well..... we've still got a few months left till it's released....... possibly some improvements to be made along that time.... and that video is how many months old, if it actually is a continuation of the E3 video?

I'm sure that the Nintendo "Revolution" functionality that they're adding to it will provide enough of a boost in "mechanics" for ya.

    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
