Anacybele Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 According to a new trailer for A Link Between Worlds. :D Princess Hilda rules over Lorule, Hyrule's new parallel counterpart. She also reminds me of Kafei and Cremia... Hoo hoo hoo. There can't be any connection though, as MM takes place on an entirely different timeline, but it's a funny coincidence for me since I ship KafeixCremia. lol But anyway, there's also some wizard there that looks a bit like Ganondorf, but it's probably not him. It doesn't look THAT much like him. Plus he's dead after ALttP. But this evil wizard is pulling a King Boo! Trapping people in paintings! Link needs Luigi's Dark-Light Device. XD This game just got MORE awesome for me. I CAN'T WAIT. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Wait a new Zelda that actually catches my interest? Amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiac Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) Hyrule (High Rule) Lorule (Low rule) I could see Lorule as Termina after destruction with the inhabitants returning causing a new life but I may just not entirely get the point of the timeline and making this look entirely stupid,since this is supposed to be a sequel to The Link to the Past right?

Rewjeo Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Did they really name the new kingdom via a pun? And then there's Hilda & Zelda, which also bugs me the wrong way for some reason I'm not quite sure of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 OH! I get the naming scheme now. High rule. Low rule. lol clever. XD I'm not sure of the reason behind naming the new princess Hilda though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carter Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 haha. hilda is my mom's name. anyways, looks interesting. i might get it. when it actually does come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Lightning Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Ooooohhh, looks interesting! And I have been wondering what the in-game explanation for the "merging with your surroundings power" would be. Somehow, even with this new villainess, I still feel like it will somehow be hijacked by Ganon yet again.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiac Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 On an unrelated note (I am a Majora's Mask fanboy) maybe "Midrule" is Termina now I shall leave this topic exclusively for A Link Between Worlds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I would imagine the new princess was named Hilda because it is similar to the name Zelda in the sense that there is only a two letter difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Yeah, but there's a bunch of other letters they could've used instead of H and I. I'm saying I wonder what the reason is for picking those two letters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Haha, I doubt there is any major significance in the letters H and I. Hilda is a real name, like Zelda. Chances are the developers wanted a name that was similar just to show there was a parallel between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk King Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 LttP was my 1st Zelda game. It holds so much nostalgia for me. Hearing all those same sound effects and music from LttP is awesome. I cant wait to get this game. Lorule/Hilda - eh(? you found the big key!) it's a parallel world so it makes sense they sound similar.

Caster Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I'd ship it. Huh. This catches my interest though. More excited for this game than I was before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved ALttP (even though it's so hard... XD), so I enjoyed hearing the game's sounds. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk King Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Hard? ALttP isnt really that hard. I Guess it is compared to the 3d Zeldas. I beat it when I was like 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, in the Japanese katakana script, "Zelda" is spelled ゼルダ, while "Hilda" is spelled ヒルダ. Notice how the "ゼ" (ze) and the "ヒ" (hi) look similar to each other. Though I have no idea whether Hilda is even called "Hilda" in the Japanese version... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) I wonder if this means that the wall drawings in Wind Wakers opening were actual people, as opposed to representations made by people who hadn't yet developed 2D artistic perspective Edited October 12, 2013 by Rehab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it wasn't hard for you, but it was hard as heck for me. Took me years to finally get good enough at video games to beat it. xP I'm not an expert at gaming or anything, so yeah.

Icon of Sin Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) aLttP has a nice balance between the general lack of help you got in the first two Zeldas and the generally easy gameplay ever since Ocarina of Time. For one, you can see those crabs as early as right after you get to the Sanctuary and they damage you for two hearts each attack. Honestly as long as you have a bunch of blue potions and know where the items are, you shouldn't be in much trouble. The game even gets retardedly easy with the Cane of Byrna, which is almost like Nayru's Love with its mana cost over time but did damage on its own.

Anacybele Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 It wasn't just the monsters doing a lot of damage though. It was also the confusing layouts in most of the dungeons. I've done a lot of them a few times over and I still need a walkthrough every time I go through them. I always forget which way to go! xP The bosses were generally easy though. Except for Helmasaur King. He was insane. >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroknighticalFeats Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 So, Hilda and Zelda are the two Aunts in Sabrina: The Teenage Witch, so there's that as a potential reference. Zelda and Hilda both mean "battle woman", which is enough to differentiate the names while retaining the same meaning to them. (I mean, Adlez would be a weird name to use...) The villain(ess)'s name is Yuga; an interesting tidbit about (what I assume is) her name: it is likely a reference to the mythological Baba Yaga, the latter being pronounced similarly to Yuga. Yaga, based on the similar words developing from other Slavic languages, gives the impression of a cold-hearted witch. There is some theory that she is the Lorule counterpart to Ganondorf. Also, she may be related somehow to Twinrova (who people probably don't remember unless they played either the Oracle Games or Ocarina of Time)(basically she is Ganondorf's mother).

I was just about to mention the Sabrina reference, but you got it covered for me. Once I get this game, I'm really tempted to call Link Sabrina for the fun of it. ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verdant Shade Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Considering the Yuga's appearance (and the general art style nintendo is rolling with, like this) I have a sneaking suspicion that the "Big Reveal" of this game will be Yuga's status as the Lorule's Ganondorf. Which would be rather. . . underwhelming - his weapon looks like either the un-named Goop Brush which Bowser Jr. utilizes back in sunshine or the Power Paint Brush we saw in Kirby: Canvas Curse. Of the only Lorule characters we've seen so far, a defining physical trait is inverted (Zelda's bright blond hair is mirrored by Hilda's almost black or purple hair, it's difficult to tell from the quality and background) but the rest of the character is almost unchanged. (Zelda and Hilda wear almost identical clothes of slightly different tone) Logically, this would mean that Ganondorf's very dark skin from WW and TP would become pale, and his rather physically powerful form would become more oriented for a mage - or a jester, really. Of course, that does leave the question of why, then, is he wearing a robe with a (upside down) triforce. . . ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book Bro Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I hope there's a good reason why Yuga is going around turning princesses into paintings. Like if the goal is just to capture them I'm sure there are other ways...? I dunno it just seems kind of random judging prematurely by this one trailer.

Just call me AL Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I hope there's a good reason why Yuga is going around turning princesses into paintings. Like if the goal is just to capture them I'm sure there are other ways...? I dunno it just seems kind of random judging prematurely by this one trailer.From what I remember reading, Yuga is trying to orchestrate Ganon's resurrection. Maybe kidnapping the maidens is related to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
