Tails fans, they know how good a game is just by its title.

The new zelda game has a title eh? Maybe it won't involve gannon this time. This is just an estimated guess due to the title name.

That fire boss we saw in last years Zelda trailer got 10 times bigger in the newer trailers. Nintendo said this game will take double or triple the amount of time as Ocarina of Time, roughly 70 hours of gameplay! People went dead silent on the fact Link's the wolf, but I wanna say don't worry, it's only the gimmick on this Zelda game that'll take as much time as using Young Link after growing into an adult in Ocarina of Time. Also in every dungeon, you befriend an animal to kick ass for you. In the Forest Temple, Link is assisted by a baboon with a boomerang. He'll took out a bunch of guys on a rope bridge by cutting the ropes w/ the boomerang and then help Link cross the destroyed bridge by having Mr. Boomerang Baboon swing Link across the gap. Everyone will still love this game. I think this will replace my Ocarina of Time as #2 fav game of all time.(Mario 64 is #1)

I RESERVED IT!!! ^_^ I'm So happy! I'd been dying to reserve it. I finally went to the mall today.
I dunno, I think that Link has the wolf is so uber! I love it! In fact, I want to see if anymore characters are like that! And I believe I am beginning to figure out why it is called Twilight Princess, but I'd rather not say. I can't put it all together yet.

Zelda Info (a lot of it from IGN)
According to Eiji Aonuma, Twilight Princess is set after Ocarina of Time and before Wind Waker. This has of course created a bit of controversy, as the storylines from Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker do not seamlessly connect, as purists have pointed out. Still, Nintendo has never gone out of its way to chronologically align the series, and has instead preferred simply to say that with every game there is a new Link and a new Zelda.
In Twilight Princess, Link is about 16 or 17-years-old, according to Eiji Aonuma.
The video of course confirms that Link can change into a wolf. However, it does not appear that gamers will be able to trigger the change whenever they desire.
Rather, the transformation occurs depending upon where Link goes.
In Twilight Princess, Hyrule is under attack by a mysterious force known as the Twilight Realm. The shadowy alternate dimension is spreading throughout the land, sucking anyone or anything in its path through.
When Link enters the Twilight Realm, he automatically changes into a wolf. According to Eiji Aonuma, humans cannot exist in their current form in the Twilight Realm.
When they cross over, they change into animals, which can exist in the alternate dimension.
When Link enters the Twilight and changes into a wolf, he encounters a mysterious new female character named Midna. She dons a magical mask that covers one eye and rides on top of wolf Link. The two are inseparable in the Twilight Realm.
When Link clears an area in the Twilight Realm, it changes back to normal Hyrule and he returns to human form.
Midna also undergoes a change when she exits the Twilight Realm. "If you go with the strictest definition of exist then yes, she can exist in normal Hyrule," explains Eiji Aonuma. "But there is a certain kind of subtlety to that which I can't reveal at this point in time." Some gamers have speculated that Midna is in fact Link's shadow, which comes to life in Twilight.
Ganon is in the game and very likely the main antagonist.
The creatures and look of the Twilight Realm will have sci-fi elements to them, according to Eiji Aonuma. However, he says, the title will still be fantasy based.
Link will be able to combine items in the game. He combines bombs and arrows to create bomb arrows in an older trailer. In the latest footage, he carries a lantern and oil, presumably to refill the light-giving device when it runs out.
The game is much bigger in scope than Ocarina of Time, which it strives to better in every way. Because of this, Link will actually need to use Epona to cross very long distances as it would simply take way too long to travel on foot.
Eiji Aonuma says that with Twilight Princess, locations -- presumably structures and temples -- will be enormous, truly dwarfing Link in scale.
Link can use a canoe to traverse waterways.
The hero can dive and swim underwater, which suggests there will be a Water Temple.
According to Eiji Aonuma, Link might be able to fly across great distances, presumably on the back of a still-unrevealed winged beast. We're hoping for a dragon.
The character will gain more weapons and items than ever before. Some will be returning weapons and items while others will be brand new to the series.
Link will be able to fish again and also use chickens to float.
There will be more dungeons and boss battles in the game than in any other Zelda.
Zelda is in the game. She is the cloaked figure seen in videos. She wears this mourner's robe to mourn what she sees as the death of Hyrule at the hands of the Twilight Realm.
Zelda may be able to transform into an animal, according to Eiji Aonuma.
There will not be any significant time travel in the game, as there was in Ocarina of Time. That seems to indicate that Link will probably stay the same age and not grow older.
The game will run in progressive scan and Dolby Pro Logic II, but not 16x9 widescreen mode.
The title will feature orchestrated music as well as MIDI songs

Marik, reading about who is who... I think I have a personal screenshot of Midna, I have no place to upload the image to though. Anyway, so the cloaked person was who I thought it was. So far my guess is right, but this is really new information. I love it!

Midna is that thing that rides Link's wolf form and it attacks with her hair(I think its hair) and the cloaked figure is Princess Zelda

Midna is that thing that rides Link's wolf form and it attacks with her hair(I think its hair) and the cloaked figure is Princess Zelda I thought the cloaked person was the person on Link's back in the trailer. Man, this makes who Midna is even more confusing. >_> Back to the trailers I go... www.zelda.com/universe/_pop/legendzelda.jsp?set=3&shot=11 I think that this is Midna... I don't know, but she keeps on poping back up in the trailers. And I remember when I first saw the cloaked person I said "Looks like Zelda" Now I know. But I've seen her design. I'll try to scan it.

That person is in Link's town in the beginning. I bet her name is Talon. The Zelda series likes to recycle names like that.

Im in school now and I'm thinking pretty hard about this. Eiji said, "If you go with the strictest definition of exist then yes, she can exist in normal Hyrule, but there is a certain kind of subtlety to that which I can't reveal at this point in time."
Midna and Link are inseperable in the Twilight Realm. From what I've seen and read in the twilight realm Link enters alone. What if, Midna doesn't become a human. ... What if she turns into another animal. Because I remember Eiji wouldn't say if the horse was Epona or now. What if the horse is Midna! It's kinda out there... but it might work. Also I looked at the designs on Zelda's robe and Midna, they look close... What if they are the same person, different name? I don't know two guesses that could work. That post with all of Marik's new info, I am breaking it up. I've been at it all day now. ^^; I'm just trying to figure out this game.

Link has Epona right from the beginning before Link even gets his tunic or even enters Hyrule.

Link has Epona right from the beginning before Link even gets his tunic or even enters Hyrule. Has Epona been confirmed though? Eiji had to keep his mouth shut about it a while ago. Is there anything saying that this horse is oficially named Epona? I haven't read anything yet so I am trying to figure it out.
