Hi all. Any Legend of Zelda fans in Malaysia?

The reason when I bought the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) console in 1986 is because of this game.

Looking forward to hear from you all.

Cheers.

nvr play NES platform version, but SNES version is legendary one. the game is huge and brain squeezing.

On NES, I started with Legend of zelda and then Adventure of Link.
On SNES, A link to the past (I still think is the best game of this series).
Game Boy, Link's Awakening (not finished).
On N64, Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.
On Gameboy colour, Link's Awakening DX
Gameboy Advance, Oracle of Season and Oracle of Ages.
Gamecube, The Wind Waker.

Each time, I buy a new console is when the Legend of zelda game is released.

I had won Zelda 1 and Zelda 2 on NES emulator and I would say ITS A ONE HELL HARD GAME... without faq i dun think i can figure out what to do in Zelda 1. Zelda 2 ending boss is kinda hard too.

As for Ocarina of Time, its a good game. Only thing that dissapoint me is, the zelda main theme does not exist. Haih....

I only played Majora's mask for a while. So dunno its good or not.

And yes, I agree A Link to The Past is the best zelda i had played. I do not own a GC, so can't play Wind Waker........... sob sob...

Zelda game I have finished

SNES - A link to the Past
N64 - Ocarina of time
GBC - Oracle of Season / (lost my Oracle of Ages when playing )
Currently playing GC - Wind waker

to: earthcrystal
u want to sell your N64 Majora Mask a ? I am looking for it

what lah...only if no zelda main theme so? i mean zelda oot has the best musics of all zelda i think....the song of time, the song where u play to transport anywhere...and the Shop song...kakariko village, the song of the ending...the ending is THA BEST Until u can cry listening to it...no jidding no koking...

Play GBA minish cap,one of da best!

u finish it already! damm! it was a very the hard game lah...wonder how to find the last tingle...

I know the music is good. But the theme song is important. It's like the game's identity. I can't imagine playing MGS without the theme. Theme song gimme a nostalgic feeling and the urge to continue the game. Well, its just for me.

hm~.. talking about Zelda~. don't knwo they will go for NDS platform or not~. if it does~ wow . thats sure looks better and maybe even greater challenge to play~. maybe they make playing the music using the Stylus ~

Zelda : A link to the past contributes some of the most memorable moments in my gaming experience

well actually my most favorite song from the zelda series is the near end credit song from OoT....that one beats zelda overworld anytime....it was such a subdued and gentle song....

Zelda 1. You know that there is two quests in this game. By type zelda as your name, you can start the 2nd quest. 2nd quest is harder but if you try hard enough you can get through.

Zelda 2. Do you mean Dark Link is tough to beat?

You know that there are pc emulators for NES, SNES, N64 and GBA. You can play all the LoZ games until Gameboy Advance.

Try to play Legend of Zelda and Adventure of Link. I think the best way to play is to get a NES emulator and play the game on the pc.

Majora's Mask is the PAL limited edition with the gold cartridge. First I have to find where I keep the cartridge.

DjiNn. Has Minish Cap available in your shop? Kayne and Navilink have already start playing this game.

If this game is available, do you have the package that comes with a limited zelda edition gameboy advance sp.

Have you try alttp with four swords in the gameboy advance?

wah. need to replay at so many messag meh ? use the quote mah

My n64 is a Jap version I think but I have mod the base connector to accept Jap and US catridge - But PAL video signal need to test if my set can handle it BTW I also need the 4 meg RAM expansion if you can find that also .

Btw, you know that it is possible for you to play this game in a pc using emulator?

Legend of zelda. The first game of this series. What makes me like this game is you are able to go around hyrule, building your strength and weapon at the same time. The worst thing of all is the additive background music played in the dungeon level. Until you played that tune, I can recognised that it is the dungeon level music. Scary huh.

For Zelda 1, the hard part is finding the dungeons. I still remeber there's a part where u supposed to burn bushes to reveal the dungeon. All the bushes look the same to me. Without FAQ, i really dunno how to find it.

In default difficulty, the Phoenix and Dark Link is kinda hard to beat. At least at the first time u met them. The dungeons are hard to beat as well.

And, I played all the Zelda Series on emulators. GEHEHEHE....

Nothing beat playing the game in the original form -> BTW my PC is not that fast to begin with

LOZ. Yup. You have to burn bushes, bomb walls on cave and use the whistle. Find the heart containers and check out which shop sells cheap price on certain item. As you have more hearts, you able to acquire the white sword and then the magic sword. On certains dungeons, you to find the secret items which will help to go to the next room. I like the idea of completing the 8 dungeons first before you are able to go to the Final dungeon. You need to draw a map for the level because you are going into underground tunnels.
On the second quest, I have to use the whistle on almost every screen to find the dungeon.

You need time to build up your experiences points so that you can choose to use for your attack, life or magic. As you walk around Hyrule, when you meet the enemies. It change and you are now in a sidescroll mode. (Did Final Fantasy stole this idea?)
Phoenix. Used thunder spell (to break the armour) and then used jump spell. I am not sure you enough magic left to used shield spell as well.
Dark Link. I used the trick to just sit on the far side of the screen and squat then
just jab as shadow link as he rushes to you.

I have to wait for three years before I got a new laptop that is fast enough and comes with a good 3d graphic cards to be able to play N64 games.

i luv zelda series!

but if compared to final fantasy series, which one is better overall u think?

FF is rpg and you have to point and click during the fighting scene.
LOZ is adventure where you can control the hero in a fighting scene.

As you are aware that the latest FF series is having more and more cg cut-scene.
As for LOZ is still at normal rate like the Wind Waker.

If you asked me to choose I think both are good and depend what you fancy to play at that time.

Legend of zelda. It is the first game that have a battery backup. It comes in a gold colour case. I bought this game as a second hand in sg wang 1st floor from the a shop called Pineapple Computers. At that time, you can go there to play NES and Sega Genesis games and pay an hourly rate.

I wonder if this nice game gotta be on PC... but according to mag, it's only on gamecube...

There is a new game coming out next for gamecube called Legend Of Zelda.

This Legend of Zelda is released in 1986 on NES console is the first title of the series.

Yes, that's the one I talk about, 3D and nice graphic. I saw it from XPlay.

Currently that game name is The Legend of Zelda : GCN, might be coming out in
the first quarter of 2005.

I hope Nintendo won't be disappointing us.

huh? since when nintendo disappoints us with zelda series?

well, that miyamoto(rola!) is really damm creative...i especially like the FANTASTIC dungeons...soooo creative puzzles...it even beats the half-life 2 and even tetris i think....

and who can forgot in OoT when the ending was THA BEST!!! MOST UNPREDICTABLE!!! most EPIC! (not like the alexander movie, so ghey no epic) and forgot the cool face animations in HL2, becoz in zelda: ww the emotions shown makes the HL2 characters wanna cry...wait they dont cry do they?

Shigeyu Miyamoto has passed the Zelda torch to Eiji Aonuma.

Eiji is the new head of Zelda since The Wind Waker but Shigeyu Miyamato is still in the position of giving feedback on the direction of the Zelda games.

I played the first 2 Zelda on Famicom(NES) before, but only managed to finish the first one. Then during SFC age, "A link to the Past" had kept me and my bro playing it again and again. But too bad, we couldn't collect all the heart containers... This game is HARD!

Yeah, like other user, I missed out both "Ocarina of Time" and "WindWaker", the two graphic-improved Zelda games... No money for N64 and GC...

In my view, "A link to the Past" is the best. Fun to play, to explore, to collect items. Oh yah, this series is famous with its music theme and also that "Golden sword". Hah, the best ARPG series I had ever play! Great!

Zelda 1 - Still play this games now and then.

Zelda 2 - Adventures of Link is pretty tough. You need to spend time building up your Attack, Life and Magic to the max before facing the bosses of the palace. Let me know if you need any help and I will try my best.

Zelda 3 - I think I managed to get up to 22 or 23 heart containers. Did you manage to get four bottles, converted your boomerang to a magic boomerang?

Did not finished Ocarina of time and The Wind Waker yet.
Since i bought the Gamecube with the wind waker package that comes with Ocarina of time and Ocarina of time master quest, got to find time to play them.

zelda always got theme with their game...
Link to the Past - Light and Dark World
Ocarina of Age/Season - Self-descriptive
Ocarina of Time - Time and Music
Majora's Mask - Mask
Minish Cap - Mini world
Zelda WW - Sea journey?
Legend of Zelda 2005 - i think theme will be fire and underworld monsters...

Very true, Navlink. Further more,
Zelda1 - freedom to wander around and retrieve the fragments of the
Triforce from the eight dungeons.
Zelda2 - When fighting enemies and going into caves or palaces, you are switch to
side scroll mode.

some news of legend of zelda 2005...
it's rated Teen....
and there will be NO video/teaser until the debut at E3 2005....

whoa man! this sure gonna roxx like heaven and hell put together!

News on The Minish Cap
The US version of The Minish Cap, which is already out in Europe and Japan, will get a severe update on the text part. This will probably help clear up some of the inconsistencies in the game.

The reason behind this, and the fact that Europe got it before the US, was because Europe needed a big title on the handheld market. This is most likely because the DS is not released before Christmas, so they need something to boost the handheld market over here.

Too bad this series only appears on Nintendo platform only. If is is cross-platform, I bet the sales could go sky high!!

It did happened when Nintendo and Phillips went into partnership. The original idea was to develop a CD add-on for the SNES. However, when they saw the way SEGA went after using the same concept with their Mega Drive, this project was put on ice.

Nintendo had already given Phillips the permission to create new games using some of their most exclusive franchises, Zelda included.

The results of this were the three Zelda games for the Phillips CD-i console, and
the name of the games are Wand of Gamelon, Faces of Evil and Zelda's Adventure.

Nintendo would b in trouble if they try to sell their exclusive games to other platform. many ppl buy gamecube just bcoz to play their exclusive games which is rare to b seen in other platform.

For N64 console, it seems that only Nintendo exclusive games are selling. This cause other companies to stay away from this console.

I am waiting for Kid Icarus to come out a new game, if ever.

Damn right about it! GC wouldn't be there if there's no exclusive titles such as Zelda, StarFox, Mario and so on.

The year for Legend of Zelda.

The Legend of Zelda for GBA, The Adventure of Link for GBA, Four Swords Adventures for GameCube, and The Minish Cap for GBA all came out this year.

But we all know what we are looking forward to. May 2005, with the final unvieling of the Zelda game many have waited a long time for.

Zelda series, they always got delayed, but produced the best result you can ever imagine.

Miyamoto prefer to release completed finished game even though it will be delay.

The console list:

Master system NES - 2 games (LOZ and AOL)
Megadrive
SNES - 1 game (ALTTP).
Sega Gamegear
Gameboy - 1 game (LA)
Colour Gameboy - 2 games and 1 remake game (OOA, OOS and LA dx).
Sega Saturn
Playstation
N64 - 2 games (OOT and MM)

PS 2
X-Box
Gamecube - 3 games (TWW, OOT - Master Quest and FSA)
Gameboy Advance - 1 game and 3 remake games (TMC, ALTTP, LOZ and AOL)
Nintendo DS
Sony PSP

Wow! History of console gaming! Nice!

Typo mistake on master system and NES. Both are 8 bit system. Master system is by Sega.

Master system
NES - 2 games (LOZ and AOL)

There are also other console system like Amiga and Atari etc but this list is for the popular ones ...

Back to Zelda... So the next Zelda game will be launched next year? Or 2006? I only saw the preview clip of it. This time they used the more mature-style 3D modelling, but Link still looks cool with that sword. Anyway, Zelda is famous with its ARPG style with many interesting gameplay. Who cares for the graphic?

This game is schedule to be out on Q1 of 2005 and there is no official title for this game.

Now that's the omen for delaying, isn't it?

zelda not yet on NDS...errmm heard that we FINALLYYYYYYYY get to play Princess Zelda as playable character...hahaha...after soo long...

interesting... wat platform it will be then?

it's just a rumor only...but i think that's possible rite? what's wrong playing princess zelda...we already got to play Princess Peach...

Princess Zelda swinging the Golden Sword in Zelda??

Anyway, what's the main theme of the upcoming Zelda game on GC?

Rumour on Zelda for DS.
The Zelda team is already planning Four Swords for the Nintendo DS. This game will have a lot of connectivity and feature a lot of interaction between both screens. It will be interesting.

Eiji Anouma on story and gameplay of the new LOZ: We are focusing more on giving the game a very realistic tone, as you could see in the video we showed [at E3], and it's heavily influenced by Ocarina of Time. As development goes on, we will be adding new details that have worked in other titles, so we can come up with a very complete game.

LOL! The "Official Statement" again??

Has anyone play The Minish Cap on game boy?

yea....i already finish The Minish Cap!!! cooll...maybe i'll come up with a review...ihihihi...

Found your N64 Mojara Mask already a ? Looking for it for a long time

Seems like you have all the console except Atari Jaguar, 3DO and PC engine only

How much did you pay for the game?

Got the N64 Majora Mask when I was in Sydney.

The only consoles I have is from Nintendo (except gameboy advance SP), psone and ps2.

In the February issue of Nintendo Power they have some information about Zelda 2005. The information said that fighting on horseback will be a major part of the game, confirmed that the game will be playable at E3 in May, and also said the game will be more mature, more intense, and more dangerous.

So this is the first mature-styled Zelda game, eh? Hmm... It's quite amazing since the last Zelda game was rendered in cel-shaded style and Link was a cute kid...

fighting horseback i think will feature more in the hyrule field...not really inside the dungeons...

i think it's something like braveheart will happen in hyrule field...becoz so far hyrule field in all the zelda series lack of umpph...

and earthcrystal, about the Zelda MC $, u "know" lah...

Sorry Navi. Dont know how much it cost Zelda Minish Cap in Malaysia. I am still in Dubia.

The Legend of Zelda - Gates of the Realm. The new zelda title for Gamecube. Is this real or rumour?

Legend of zelda - The Minish Cap official website is launched.

Gates of the Realm? i think they should change the gate to something more boombastic words lah...maybe "Portal of the Realm"?

Here is the website : http://www.zelda.com/minishcap/launch/index.html

Nintendo has confirmed that all the information for Zelda GCN2 will be released at the next E3 show, that means the demo will be released at the E3 show and the full version will come some time after. So mark your calender for E3 2005, May 18-20.

still in dubai ahh dude?

Yup. Still in cold weather dubai.

The timeline:
Ocarina of Time.
Majora's Mask.
The Wind Waker.
A Link To The Past.
Four Swords.
Oracle of Seasons.
Oracle of Ages.
Legend of Zelda.
Adventure of Link.
Link's Awakening.
Adventure of Link.

So u still want PAL games?cause i got some to sell,i did send u PM but no idea whether u received my pm or not:)

Hi Kayne. Got your pm. Sorry to say, it is kinda of difficult since I am oversea, dont wait for me if you can find a buyer, just sell it to them.

I will contact if I am looking for older pal game. Thanks.

Can post some Minish Cap images here for us??

okie dokie!

Minish Cap looks cools. remind me much on SNES Zelda

wat d u mEan by the timeline...?? and there's two 'Adventure of Link'?

Time line of the Legend Of Zelda shows how the Zelda games fall into place.

If you play the Adventure Of Link, you need to travel by sea to go from West Hyrule to East Hyrule. During that time, there was storm and you got wash up on the beach of Koholint Island.

do u know that in Adventure of Link we actually play Link as the "Dark Side"? hihihi...guess not many knows...

I thought Link has to face his shadow (The Dark Link) as the final boss which will get him the triforce of courage.

This post has been edited by earthcrystal: Jan 20 2005, 12:54 AM

well...in N64 i think u also got to face the Dark Link....very cool enemy! haha...

Some comments from a fan on the US Version of The Minish Cap.

I am sad to report Nintendo lied in every way about the "bonus" features or better translations. For those of you hoping about a solution to the Third House Side Quest, there is none. Mystery in Link's Room: not solved. To be frank, it was all a marketing scheme, as I claimed months ago. The US version has nothing superior or extra than any other version.

The cart sticker sucks. The cart sticker is this ugly red, whereas both Japan and Europe got nice artwork. The manual's story, though, is not the same as the Japanese or European version. So that's one major difference I found.

Third House Side Quest, there is none. Mystery in Link's Room: ???

what is 3rd house side quest???

A list of expectations for the forthcoming GCN Legend of Zelda.
It is time to show the power of Nintendo's Gamecube. No need to worry about the limitation of the game size since it is using a cd-rom now.

1) Full motion video.
Honestly, the intros of the past Zelda games have been little static image stories. I would like to see a REAL intro with proper cinematic storytelling and introduction; and cut scene to continue the story telling.
2) Horseback Battle with a boss.
Horseback fighting? Will it be interesting? You're going to run along, and maybe stop, press B to hit a bad guy, and move on. What about a Boss battle on a horseback.
3) Voice Acting.
Other games have moved onto spoken dialogue, it is time to replace text reading and hear Link speaks. We have already heard him screaming as he slashes away with the sword but now it is time for him to speak.
4) Bring back the Dungeons.
Zelda games today are lacking in dungeons. Bring back the good old times.
5) A Realistic World.
From the movie trailer, we are able to see the gorgeous world of Hyrule. I hope this will be including in the game.
6) Orchestrated Soundtrack with CD Quality Audio.
Final fantasy is doing it. Come on Nintendo, get an orchestra into the recording studio to produce good soundtrack.
7) A new final boss(es).
We know Ganon will never win and it can be kill by silver arrows. No more Ganon.
8) End the Traditional Storyline
I hope it is not about collecting three objects to get the Master Sword or unifying the shards of triforce to meet the final boss.
9) A good Ending.
Get some ideas from the Final Fantasy's ending.
10) Harder enemies.
The Legend of Zelda with blue wizzrobes and Iron Knuckles. Adventure of Link with Iron Knuckles and Sopranos.
11) A Great Epic Story.
That's all I really want the most. I value a good storyline. I know Zelda will have great gameplay. I hope this game pushes the envelope.
12) New Playable Characters.
Playable characters like Princess Zelda or Sheik or Oni Link.
13) Time for love.
We all know that there is a romantic thing between Link and Zelda. It is time for us to see it come true.

wow!!!!! damm great!
if that's what we all can get in LoZ i will buy the GC right away!!!!!
want to add:
+ Beautiful world - realistic world just not enough...i live in realistic world....full of garbages and smokes!
+ add a bit of RPG - maybe level up on strength, dexterity...
+ add some stealth missions...hihi...SOME not MANY...
+ more great music that can fight the John Williams one...
+ not just horseback maybe we can ride giant flying eagle to oversee Hyrule???? THAT WILL BE DARM COOL!
+ Return of Navi the fairy!!! YEY!

well something about the motion video...in the past games, even with the in-game cutscene...i can feel the emotion showing (OOZING!) from the characters...like the OoT and the recent cartoonish-but-beats-doom3 emotion expression...

Q & A with the Zelda Team
Nintendo Power | Volume 189 | Page 73
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NP: This title is the third game in the Four Sword series. Did you plan it as a trilogy from the beginning?

Hidemaro Fujibayashi (Capcom): We did not think to develop a trilogy from the beginning. When we developed the first Four Swords game for GBA, we created a new Hyrule legend that said that a long time ago, evil Vaati brought crisis to Hyrule and people sealed that evil. We had some thought that we wanted to carry over that story into future titles some way.

NP: Four Sword games tend to be more action-oriented than other Zelda games. Is this intentional?

HF: No. Every game was developed based on the concept we chose. In the Four Sword series, multiplayer play is important and I had a big wish to create a vivid expression of Link's moves in a 2-D art style. Those important concepts may generate a more action-style game impression compared to others.

NP: What inspired the Minish idea?

HF: This is the result of my consideration about what is a new idea of a game field for Link. Current vs. past, forward vs. reverse, seasons, adult vs. child, etc...that kind of pair concept is a very important element of Zelda games, I think. In this consideration I reached the big vs. small concept and the small people's world this time. After more deep ideation, I found out that this pair can work as a good combination and could create the interesting Minish world.

NP: In the prologue to this game, there are some hints that The Minish People brought a golden light into Hyrule. Does this relate to the Triforce legend?

HF: Golden light is a very, very old legend of Hyrule and nobody knows how it relates to the Triforce legend. It is still a big mystery whether it has some relationship with the Triforce, which is the most important element in the Legend of Zelda series.

NP: We see many familiar characters in this game (even the kid with the dripping nose from The Wind Waker!). Did you refer to any particular Zelda game for development of this game?

HF: In a kind of reverse way. We created the world of the Minish Cap first, then chose characters to fit this world.

NP: The game's music is very impressive. How much of it is classic Zelda music, and how much of it is new?

HF: Classic is 70% and original is 30%, I think (TSA Note: Sound test shows 52 songs, 30% are not original). The composer for this game is also a big Zelda fan. He does not want to miss the opportunity to relate key Zelda music elements to key points of gameplay, which will make Zelda fans say "Yes!" That perhaps explains the percentage balance.

NP: Ezlo is one of the most original characters ever to emerge in the Zelda universe. How did you come up with the idea of fusing a hat with a bird?

HF: I wanted to have a speaking hat, not a hat with a bird. Based upon my request, the character designer needed a very difficult long time to achieve the final form. The design of Ezlo fulfilled my needs - it has a good sense of existence on the GBA screen and is flexible to dynamic action and moves.

NP: Many gamers think of the bosses from A Link to the Past as some of the best in Zelda history. So it's got to be a challenge to provide new surprises in boss design. How did you go about creating Minish Cap's boss bosses? And if Ganon were to fight Vaati, who would win?

HF: Ganon is the villain from the Triforce story. We thought the Four Sword story needed a different evil than Ganon, so we created Vaati. Overall, bosses are designed to be good for Four Sword play. Ganon vs. Vaati...I never thought about. Perhaps Ganon is more powerful, because of the power of the Triforce.

NP: This title is not the first collaboration between Nintendo and Capcom. How did the development proceed this time?

HF: After the Capcom team presented the core idea and Nintendo agreed to it, we held progress meetings almost every month until completion.

NP: Are you already having discussions about another Zelda collaboration? If so, which platform are you looking at? Is it for DS?

Eiji Aonuma (Nintendo): As with previous development projects, Mr. Fujibayashi's team has done an excellent job. The Zelda universe that his team creates is bringing very good ideas and stimulates Nintendo's team a lot. I would like to continue to work with his team, but we have not decided on any platform for the next project.

NP: The New 3-D Zelda game shown at E3 was very exciting. Could you tell us your vision for the future of the Zelda universe?

EA: Since the first Zelda game, which was created by Mr. Miyamoto, "responsive intuitive interactivity" has carried throughout the Legend of Zelda series. I always keep this in my mind as the importance of the Zelda universe. Players make things happen by controller moves in gameplay. It is critical that the controls respond to the players' intentions and that the controls are easy to understand quickly. I think that as long as we can keep this "responsive intuitive interactivity," a variety of doors are open to the Zelda universe and it is not necessary to pursue traditional Zelda style. We are preparing big exciting things. Stay tuned.
