The Legend of Zelda - Space World 2000 Tech Demo

Oh man, it gives me the same feeling as the final battle in TOTK. Even the hand thing, but, I just wish I could do that epic clash of swords in the game

Kind of awesome they had an Easter egg for this in TOTK. (He does the hand thing)

Apparently the President of Nintendo at the time really hated this Realistic Zelda style. Even Miyamoto was against it. After some backlash on Windwaker for being too Cartoony and "Kid-like" from fans, they reluctantly went onto make a game in this style. One showcase, numerous delays, and we got Twilight Princess.

Also, they used the Ganon model design for SMB Melee, interesting enough.

Everyone was all "RRRRREEE WIND WAKER LOOKS NOTHING LIKE THIS" but in reality you were given something much better.

He really tossed his shield aside, huh

zelda 64 3

I always found it weird how they used the shield from Majora's Mask in this, yet he's also wielding the master sword, considering the two are pretty much from parallel worlds

I'm still salty

The first trailer for twilight princess

I love how Link is all "fuck this" and just throws his fucking shield away

Pretty neat how it looks like they reused those character models in Melee so in a way this tech demo lives on.

Funny they used his spaceworld sword for Ultimate.

Here after seeing Ganondorf finally use this sword to fight in SSB Ultimate.

too bad we had windwaker instead of this, but luckily we got twilight princess during that era.
