So Nintendo has finally done it. They have finally given in to the GTA craze. Today, our favorite game developer released a statement saying that the next Wii Zelda title will switch out horses and carriages for cars and trucks. What are they thinking?! There is no possible way that this will work! Do they have any idea how many fans love the "medieval-esque" setting of the series?! This move is really just another money grab. E tu Nintendo? E tu?
Before I get into anything else (as you can see I added "Rant" to the tag list), I want you to know that this trailer upsets me. The very idea of trains in this game upsets me. Now I have been a huge Zelda fan since A Link To The Past and I haven't been too disappointed in the series since then (sans Majora's Mask of course). The previous Zelda game, entitled The Phantom Hourglass, was fairly enjoyable even if it was a bit weak in comparison to most Zelda games (yet again, sans Majora's Mask).
But this is just getting stupid! Trains?! Really? They saw that people somewhat liked the shallow boat idea from Phantom Hourglass so now they are going to use the same idea but this time with trains? What's next, planes? Cars? Instead of coming up with a new theme they are just taking the last one and warping it a little bit. At this rate Zelda is going to be in the same boat as the Sonic series...
If you can even call this a fake Zelda trailer. None of you can possibly know how tempted I was to leave "Zelda" out of this title.
Anyways, if you haven't understood what I have said up to this point, this video is awful. Awful dialogue enhanced by awful accents, awful scenes accentuated by awful costumes and makeup, and just plain awful intensified by pure... umm... awfulness. (Yes! That's six times if you count my skillful use of the word awfulness!)
Overextended jokes aside, this video was just plain bad. I could not count how many times they had some random girl appear just to sigh very loudly and then disappear again. I suppose they thought it would be a cool effect or something? Also, why was Shiek wearing a black costume and hugging Link at every possible chance? And not blonde?! Link would have no choice but to believe that he was really a she... that, or a very very gay man. Not because of the not being blonde part of course, but because of the excessant hugging! Lastly, why was Link wearing eye shadow? He looked like a pale, painfully blonde, raccoon. I really wish that people would just stop making these... it was a good laugh once, but that horse has been beaten to its last floating carrot.
P.S. Who was that helping Ganondorf throughout this video? Wormtongue? How did you get here?
You are Van Gogh Google: You are deep and thoughtful and creative and sometimes can be lonely. You may not be arty like Van Gogh himself but singing, painting, drawing, writing, dancing and playing an instrument are all forms of art too. Sometimes you may feel lonely but you always have an escape from it all through your art form, whatever it may be. People love you for your intelligence and creativity and your ability to see life in a whole other way.
