- In this game, Zelda starts out as a childhood friend of Link's -- and not royalty. "She's not a princess this time," Aonuma said, "which is something I'll pretty much have to put forth right now in order to talk about this title. She's a childhood friend, but she goes away in the midst of the game and it's Link's job to search for her."

- The starting plot unfolds quite a bit differently from other Zeldas. "This game's plot is something like a school drama, you could say," Aonuma noted with a laugh. "The flying sequence at the E3 demo is Link competing against his classmates. One of them looks kind of a like a bad guy, as you saw, and he shows up in other ways in the game too, since he has a major thing for Zelda."

-"Link, Zelda and their other friends all go to the same boarding school, and you've got teachers and a principal as well. It's a bit of a different setting from previous Zeldas."

Mite be cool

*copies from other topic*

To be fair, that part hit me kind of the wrong way too. Sometimes I'm wondering if I'm the only person on Board 8 who never really found the school setting particularly engrossing. And the older I get (and what with going to a community college at that) the less so.

Thing is, Zelda games don't really try terribly hard with anything plot-wise that doesn't simply enhance the overall atmosphere of the situation. I know some folks who claim OoT's got the best video game story ever told, and I think they're stark raving mad, but apart from people like that it's commonly accepted that the series usually stays on the simpler side of narrative approach.

So I doubt it will be too bad.

I did like the college-ish setting of Final Fantasy 8, so they could do worse than to go that route

If it wasn't a Zelda game, I might be worried.


like if this was Advance Wars School Drama! I would be smacking my head.


But seriously when was the last bad Zelda game?


I'm interested to see where this goes

Just a few topics below this. It's not 100% about the school thing though, so I'm not saying I care or anything.
