And this is why GAF is the greatest forum.

Virtual Console version for me. I'm on the Ice Palace. Taking my time, doing the sidequests and such.
I'm really dying to replay TP but I don't know if that will burn me out on 3D Zelda.
I just don't think a community thread will be all that hot for discussion. What's fueling discussion is the new game. Trying to make inferences based on footage about the content of the new game and how it fits in with other games is totally on topic. Timeline discussion only comes up when considering how the new game will reference previous games and when people that deny the timeline start stomping their feet (I can respect not wanting to pay attention to story. I disagree with it but people can do what the want. Denying that the timeline even exists is crazy, though). I'm not against a community thread, I just fear that anti-story/anti-timeline people would see such a thread as sanction to be more vocal about how much they hate story/timeline and hamper discussion in other threads pertaining to new games.EatChildren said:HEY TURDS
Guess what? You're getting a Zelda community thread. Yep, that's right. A swank, flashy Zelda community thread where you can talk shop to your heart's container...err, content.
The goal of the community thread is to give you cats a place to discuss the timeline, series, the hottest princess (bangs Zelda owns) and all other general Zelda franchise topics that seem to pop up in every Zelda thread. The franchise is so big now with so many GAF fans that we figure it's time to make a home.
However, being a community thread means it must act like a community thread. New threads for new news policy still stands, so when screenshots, videos and announcements start pouring out from Nintendo we expect these to be given appropriate new threads in the Gaming forum. The community thread must not become a megathread, essentially.
So, there's that. As with all community threads we expect you guys/gals will be keen to make up some flashy art, a nice sexy op, and what have you, so maybe start talking amongst yourselfs and designate someone to make the first thread. Collaborate, do what you do.
The thread will be good to go as soon as you've all got a thread to go, so just let me know when it's ready and we'll get the ball rolling.
One of my colleagues has booked the review copy. But I'm okay with that, as I have my CE version pre-ordered. I'm waiting along with the lot of ya.

I see what you're saying but it's not like there's usually a long gap(a couple months to a year at most) between anounced Zelda titles. There were 3 games this year that will likely keep things flowing active. There's also tons of different Zelda related threads each year such as LttP Zelda games threads, Lets Play threads, random Zelda musings threads, etc. There are plenty of ways to keep the community thread active. Perhaps discussing for a week everyones favorite items, song, bosses, races, characters, games, etc after SS.RagnarokX said:
As for the anti-timeline people, who cares. Perhaps the mods could enforce a rule that simply states that there is a Zelda timeline that has been stated and clarified multiple times and is outright stated in plenty Zelda games and threaten bans to people who go on anti-timeline rants because it hinders the discussion topic.
I'm saying I don't think those people will post in the community thread, but will still post in threads for new games, and I can see scenarios where timeline discussion comes up in a new thread for a new game and timeline haters moan about moving it to the community forum. It might be an unwarranted concern, but jett's comment above doesn't bode well. I just wanted to put it forth.Nirolak said:

Plenty of time to make the community thread!

It should be in the OP of every Zelda thread.
I think the sound effects have been greatly improved as well. Even before the music kicks in the atmosphere was still there.BY2K said:
From what i've seen though, I think I like the Sky temple more. I don't know I've never been a big fan of the fire element.
EDIT: apparently you can only carry 10 bombs with the initial bomb bag.. I guess that's not bad when the whole bomb flower mechanic comes into consideration.

It should be in a little pamphlet that you receive at birth.Lord Ghirahim said:
I don't care that babies can't read.
At the end there when Link shield blocks the Lizalfos tail attack it takes a good chunk of his shield strength away. I hope this mechanic really comes into effect a lot diminishing players ability to hide behind their shield waiting for an opening and instead forces us to move around a lot more, but on top of that to have enemies that guard against that and are more difficult to dodge their attacks.

Ooh ooh let me suggest the Community Thread title
Zelda Lore Discussion |OT| The Timeline is Written in Blood!!
Zelda Lore Discussion |OT| The Timeline(s) is/are Written in Blood!!
calling it mythology might be a fallacy as the games have shown divine beings have a literal basis in Zelda
Which is why I said "might", because it's more related to incredulity than other similar words.
There needs to be no question that the series has its legends and weird concepts (ex: the Ooccoos) and they are backed up by the games and the creators (ex: the timeline/s).
.....
but yeah, back to this thread.

yeah no way I'm touching an Community OT where the logical direction is to reward discussion with fucked up time line adherents who think the Zelda storyline/timeline is in any way not just some made-up-on-the-spot-and-changed-at-will garbled mess of contradictory events rather than just the same Zelda/Link legend retold over and over through the voices of generations. Imo, only a few Zelda games are really connected in any meaningful fashion and even they are connected poorly generally. Only Wind Waker and Ocarina of Time have a good solid time line click, and Twilight Princess does its best but faulters all over the place.
The OFFICIAL Skyward Sword topic, on the other hand, ess mine. Got a lot of data in place already and we have a special guest making the banner.
