Those look absolutely awesome. Can't wait to play it!

looking better and better! every single time!

I really like Hilda's Theme.

Oh my god! Guess what character returns?

Dark Link!

Based on the other stuff, it also seems the Ball and Chain Soldier, Hinox and Trinexx return too.

Awesome. Just keep hearing more and more good things about this game. 22nd November can't come quick enough.

I think he may be talking about agahaim orwhateverwashisname and the time he tried to bring ganon back to the world of light in A Link to the Past.

I think that much is pretty obvious, it's definitely Agahnim that's been mentioned here.

Ooooh nice, Decline Era versions of the Zoras and Gorons!

Oh my god?! Is that a humanoid Goron?! By the way: Pretty nice artwork! Especially the Link vs Yuga one!

Spoiler: So there will be 20 items you can equip? We already saw the fire rod, ice rod, tornado rod, bombs, bow and arrow, hookshot, boomerang (?), magic hammer, Pegasus boots. I guess the flippers and the wallpainting bracelet (or whatever it is called) are always on. I wonder what the other items will be. Maybe the 3 medaillons? Maybe the Rod of Somaria? Or maybe the return of the Rod of Pacci? And then there are still some slots left!

I must say that while I am still not sold on the graphics, I am really intrigued by the story-elements so far! Also, Ravio does seem to have a story-related role wich is also intriguing! His bird-like pet looks like the one that warps you around in Alttp! Maybe the Ocarina is also back?

I'll buy the game probably one week later, just because I want to do all my purchases in one go!

At the begining of the first video in the post above you can hear a part of Hyrules main theme that really sounds taken from Majoras Masks version of Terminas Field theme, btw!

that question mark reminds me of the windwaker fish! loving that artwork!

The artwork does remind me of the Skyward sword artwork, wich is pretty nice!

I'm fine with ALBW's in-game visuals as they are, but I do wish they more closely resembled the frankly beautiful official artwork. I love those pastel drawings.

Just a couple of more weeks until this game hits, guys! So, what are your overall sales projections for this Zelda game? I'm guessing its first week out it sells about 600k with lifetime sales around 4 million by the time its all said and done.

@OfficialRVGA It all depends on how well it sells in Japan really. The series has been falling off over in Japan on consoles but the handhelds have been holding steady. I don't think it will hit over 500k in japan though if the current trend continues. Saying that it will struggle to hit 2 million but I hope its much more then that!

2 Million wouldn't be a horrible number, but I think Nintendo is hoping to grab current Zelda fans as well as fans of the franchise back when the SNES and A Link to the Past was in it's heyday. I'm thinking 4 million world-wide is totally achievable with a solid chunk of that coming out of the United States with 1.8-2.2 million sold in the U.S.

Japan should get about a million with Europe raking in between 500K-700K (hopefully), I'm sure the game will do just fine for itself.

Oh man, they really did put so much effort into the artwork! It's such a pity we don't see this reflected in the actual game!!

Hey!
I just want to share this for the german users here. I'm sorry, but I don't know if there is an similar campain for any other country.
Nintendo offers an "treasure chest " for the first 1.000 that register "A Link Between Worlds" on the Nintendo Club. (Starting on 22. November 0:00h)
Here's an image of the treasure chest. ^^

yeah the gap between official art and actual graphics are like the N64 days again
