Yeah that music did suck. Zelda has always had good music so I doubt that that's the final music...
And I keep watching the trailer more and more and I can't help but really think this is a sequel to Ocarina of Time, not Wind Waker.
For one, Wind Waker 2 has been announced as a, well, wind waker 2...
Second, the land is well... land. Its not all seas. Wind Waker wouldn't be wind waker if the land suddenly dried up and there weren't any oceans.
Third, the trailer mentions "will the hero rise again? or will darkness prevail". Perhaps rising again is a reference to the wind waker storyline of Ganon coming back and the Hero of Time not coming back. Maybe this is THAT story. Maybe he did come back, but in the end didn't win? Not saying they'd do something like kill Link, because they obviously wouldn't, but perhaps it won't be "complete victory 100% happy sunshine ending". That would make some good closure for whole thing. :P
And maybe its just me, but the thing that impressed me the most in the entire video were those shots of the sun, with the heat waves distorting it. Holy crap it was beautiful...

I don't know what everyone's problem is with the cartoonish link, or the sailing (it wasn't THAT bad), but I have to agree that the gritty "mature" atmosphere of this demo is a welcom sight. I'm soo glad I bought a Gamecube...

Half-Life 2... GameCube... looks like this E3 is being ruled over by ATi most of all. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I can only hope that it's not a remake of the original. That'd be a travesty. That and I don't remember that many lizards in the original. ^_^ Or.. well... any, actually. Excepting maybe the Moblins, if you didn't just count those as the orcs semi-visible to the sides in some sections of the trailer.
Oh, and before I forget. Is the earring still in the same ear? Because me and my friends got a kick out of that. It finally explained why him and Zelda never really got together, beyond the royalty/commoner thing.
Wow.. those are so just so.. so.. sexy.. and if you don't know about the right ear earring thing (even though it is just assumption and not based on truth completely) I should smack you <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I think they didn't get together cause Link really doesn't want zelda but he wants me instead.

Testament, the ear that was used is generally a demarcation for those who're 'a bit light in the loafers'. The /left/ ear was used as a sign of strength and so on.. the right meant that you were 'funny that way'.
And I'd attempt to make a wisecrack about his peculiar attachment to his horse, but it could be seen as being in bad taste.
Dissing Link will get you shanked by a mod... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Looking at that concept art, and comparing it with the other Links that have been done in previous games, I have a feeling this Zelda game will shy away from being child-friendly and have a more gritty feel. I mean, look at that face.
!
Of course! It's perfect! Wind Waker was aiming for the kiddies with it's cartoon-ness, and this one is aiming for the older age groups with realistic graphics and mean faces! Awesome!

Windwaker sequal is the Multiplayer Zelda right? Hopefully, they don't go the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles route.... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

It seems my prediction of HL2 ruling this E3 is wrong.
Nintendo looks to regain its crown this year.
Prime, Windwaker, Ocarina of Time bonus disc, and now this...
Super-ultra-classic-nintendo-gaming-awesomeness.
