Same game, different quality of graphics and vaguely different story.

I like the style. Wind Waker was awesome. I have no problem with Zelda's cell shading art style. It's just the stupid fucking gimmick that annoys me, and lack of a new console Zelda title. It's as if Nintendo can't do anything but churn a Zelda game with some absurd gimmick and the same shitty, filler plot. I'm tired of these stale, handheld Zelda games getting churned out while we have to wait years upon years for the real meat of the franchise.
Essentially what Ninra has said.
This is indeed a ridiculous gimmick.
"Hey look at me, I will save the world by riding the choo-choo train!"
Very epic way of saving Hyrule or whatever fantasy land you live in Link, very epic.
But I don't see what more they could do with Zelda. Twilight Princess was the epic game we had all been waiting for for so long; we got we wanted and now the Zelda franchise should rest in peace as a glorious piece of video gaming history.
Unfortunately this is not the case. Zelda and Mario will live on as long as they are profitable.

Forgive me, if I want more than decent (read: mediocre) handheld gimmick crap from my franchise.
Wind Waker was epic, had a good storyline, amazing bosses and levels, and hours of gameplay.
Phantom Hourglass was caual, DS game filler, with decent gameplay and a forgettable story. Sorry, but that's not the same thing at all. I'm glad you're so enthused. You're the target market Nintendo is shooting for. It just sucks the rest of the folks who want something more memorable and exciting out of our games get shat on in the process.

There's no reason that being on a handheld console means it'll suck. I don't remember anyone complaining about the gameplay quality of Link's Awakening. Not to mention, even minor tweaks in gameplay can cause radically different strategies - Super Mario World and Yoshi's Island barely play like they're entries in the same series, and with a more puzzle-oriented series like Zelda effects on gameplay will be even more different. I'll refrain from judging Nintendo for "treading water" until we've received more info about this game.

Hmmm, This looks..... completely messed up.
I don't really see anything about the story itself, but man, Link on a train? When did he step out of medieval(ish) world and into a colonial(ish) one?
I played Phantom Hour Glass because I played WW and thought it would be decent to play, but it didn't really hold my attention for more than a hour. I don't think I'll be very drawn to this game either. It was probably because of the jump between platforms though, i'll admit.
I was actually expecting a console Zelda to be out this year, but I guess wrong. Unless this is an incredibly elaborate joke.... but that's likely hoping for too much.

Because the Oracle games were total PoS games, amirite? And Link's awakening was total crap, of course.Forgive me, if I want more than decent (read: mediocre) handheld gimmick crap from my franchise.
I am? Well shit, if I'm just their target audience, they need to work harder at it. I wouldn't have even started playing it if it wasn't a gift.
Seriously, though, I would love to know how the other Zelda handheld games weren't "memorable" to you. Did you hate Link's Awakening or Oracle of Ages/Seasons? Or do you just hate all Zelda games since Four Swords?

No the oracle games weren't shit, because they didn't have ridiculous gimmicks tacked onto a shoddy, 1 dimensional storyline. Oracle of Ages and Seasons was epic not just because of the gameplay elements they added, but because of how you could link both of the stories together, adding replay quality with storyline depth and thus you unlock a whole new conclusion you'd never achieve on your first, individual playthrough.
Do not even compare that to this. That's not even in the same league. I'm not talking about previous classic handheld Zelda titles, I'm speaking of Zelda's present hand held console mediocrity.

Your on about a streamline gimmick but tbh you can throw that onto any zelda game.
Your a nobody who becomes a somebody who goes and saves a princess, the end.
Can't blame the company for trying to market their title to a games system that is making them billions from kids alone.
FFS nintendo alround right now make nothing but childs games, you kinda see the reason why they thought cashing in was a good way to up profits and if anyone didn't like the look of the game then they didn't need to buy it.
If your so upset about it just ignore it and wank off to twilight princess in the dark like the remaining populace who are overly protective of the zelda series.

God forbid someone levels criticism and disdain for gimmick in a Zelda game
If you don't like a dissenting opinion on Zelda's gimmickry then don't post. Ignore it, otherwise discuss the subject intelligently please. No shit, someone who doesn't like it like myself isn't going to buy it. However, I still feel attachment towards the franchise and regret the direction its been taken has been one of mediocrity.
