I'm currently playing OoT (3DS), MM, WW, and then TP in order to prepare for SS.
Soooooo hyped.

playing all the previous games doesn exactly "prepare" you for the new one...
unless you means in terms of hype.

Of course not. I'm mainly talking about hype but considering the fact that I've never even beaten OoT and only beaten MM/TP once I'm hoping I'll be able to notice some parallels with SS's story that I might not have caught if I didn't play the other games before.
Plus I'll be able to really compare the games a lot easier if I play them in sequence.

well the more you play the games, the easier it gets to expect what to do
like which walls to bomb, which trees to roll into, when to try play songs on the ocarina, etc
so i guess it does help
but atm im only replaying OoT for the hype
=D

1. I am a poor college student
2. My Wii is broken
Didn't stop me from pre-ordering the Limited Edition. Now I just need to find a way to play the game.

Ganondorf banned?
So he won't be playing a role in this game?

That's what we've been told. Although to be honest, we've all got at least a bit of skepticism about that.

I was convinced Zant was the main villain in Twilight Princess until I played through it, so yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Ganon shows up.
I mean, they should at least go into his origins if this is a prequel to Ocarina of Time.

Yeah, that's what's confusing. This is the origin of the Master Sword. If it's the origin of the Master Sword, where the hell is Ganondorf?
That sword is the Blade of Evil's bane, not Ganondorf's.
And I have no doubt Ganondorf will find his way into the game, even if he plays no role at all. Nintendo is just being quiet to surprise everyone.
That's what I believe.

Well yeah, it's the Ban of Evil's bane. We just always assume the the evil it's talking about is Ganon. It'd just be kind of a boner kill to find out the sword wasn't even talking about Ganon all these years and just Debbie.
GwJ
Smash Hero
I think it'd be a bit more surprising than finding out Link's name wasn't Zelda.
What are you talking about. Evil is a concept. When they say sword of evil's bane, they mean evil in general, not one specific person. It was never "sword of Ganon's bane"
I'm also not sure why SS would even have to feature Ganon at all. In OoT he's a regular thief until he uses the triforce to change forms. Why would he even be present hundreds of years earlier?

Smash Hero
Because its Ganon(dorf) in OoT. Ganon im pretty sure is the always(basically) there evil spirit. The ultimate evil basically.One might say Ganon is the Embodiment of evil in the zeldaverse

I know that. I'm just saying is all.

In his defense, Zelda in Ocarina of Time calls Ganondorf the "King of Evil".

Oh yeah, I was reading the same article earlier. My body has never been more ready than it is now.

That article has single-handedly gotten me more excited for this game than any other that I've read!
More customization is ALWAYS a good thing in video games!

That article's tone implies that previous Zeldas would've been better with RPG elements. I don't know how I feel about that, especially considering how disgusting Zelda 2 was.
I've been reading and following all the SS stuff over the last few weeks, and while I try to keep a cool head about upcoming games in general, my hype level is off the charts for this.
The Real Gamer
Smash Hero
You guys really think this will be the Zelda game that dethrones OoT as the best LoZ game ever?
Im just as hyped as the next guy but that's a pretty tall order...

Well I think MM is already a better game than OoT but as far at the public is concerned, I think SS has a fantastic chance of dethroning that old horse. Not only do I believe it will dethrone OoT, but I am convinced at this point it will be Nintendo's best game to date. At least to me, this game looks more appealing than anything the gaming industry has ever offered, and I'm trying to keep my hype hat on. Fortunately I have a busy enough schedule to not devote my excess hours to hyping myself up for the game via internet and drawing/painting zelda fan art—as I've done for the past four years.

I dunno. I can't say MM is truly better than OoT. They're different experiences. I would never really compare them beyond them both being Zelda titles.
It looks like SS is going to be the same way. I don't want "best". I just want "new"

They are equal experientially because of their differences, but in terms of gameplay (hence which is a better game), Majora's Mask wins over Ocarina of Time. I think it's fair to compare like-Zelda games such as OoT and MM, but not OoT to ALttP or any other 2D Zelda. Skyward Sword is going to introduce a whole lot of new, but you will be thinking of how it compares to OoT, MM, WW, and TP. And then you'll realize the influence of PH/ST, ALttP, LoZ/AoL, TMC, and every other Zelda and how it's basically taking the best aspects of every single game and making a whole new experience out of the woodwork.
This is prime hypetalk, I'm basically trying to sell a game I've never played.

I certainly wouldn't put Majora's Mask over OoT in strict gameplay terms. Not enough "meat", too much tedium, in my eyes. The first cycle of MM is a horrible horrible blight on a great game. Not to mention some other suspect design choices.
