What does everyone think about the new Zelda that will come out?

The control scheme and gameplay look amazing, and the art style is intriguing to say the least.

I wish I had a Wii.....I love Zelda games.

I have to say that I was a little dissapointed with the art style.I was hoping the might use the same graphics engine as twillight princess(which was awesome), other that that, the new items look cool, epsecially thee wip and the flying bug thing.Another thing I'd like to know is the story and is this adventure set after twillight princess or way before

Yeah the Twilight Princess engine was awesome.

[radorn]

in fact it does use the same engine, but the art is different.
engines can be made to support many different graphical features so it's not like they are necessarily tied to a certain art style.

To make this more evident, I will tell you that Twilight Princess actually uses the same engine (an update of, probably) from Wind Waker, and it's obvious that the styles are radically different.

[PaRaDoX]

Updated Engine of course.Well what I meant that I wish they'd use the same art style as Twillight Princess

The story's supposed to take place WAY before Twilight Princess because it'll show the origin of the Master Sword. Don't quote me on it, but it might chronologically be the first Zelda game to date.

^ if that's true than it'll explain the concept art with the ghostly girl

[oxidice]

It is true and it actually takes place before Ocarina of Time, heres Link about Zelda "master timeline": http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3180520

[EternallyAries]

In Ocarina of Time, Link was was like 12 years old. And so what, now he's going to be like 7 years old? How does that work for the story?

...stop flaming the games and pay a little attention to the presented facts, will ya?
It's a known fact that Miyamoto said that in each game there's a different "set" of Zelda and Link.
That is, ocarina's Link is not the same link as wind waker's or skyward sword's.
This is made quite evident in wind waker's introduction, if you havent played it, and it's also delved into in the article oxidice linked in this thread.

Different "Universes" like GTA has. GTA has 4 or something timelines.

GTA 1 Timeline
GTA 2 Timeline
GTA 3 Timeline (Longest one, spans from Vice City Stories to GTA 3)
GTA 4 Timeline (GTA 4 - Ballad of Gay Tony)

There are a couple exceptions, like the Link in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, but it's generally true. Also, wasn't Ganon(dorf) the same in both Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker, which took place hundreds of years apart? That would make me believe that there's only one Ganon(dorf) but multiple Links and Zeldas.
