If you think about it, most people reacted the same way to when they implemented a boat in the Wind Waker. It also seems like it will be on rails(no pun intended) like the boat sequences in Phantom Hourglass, where you plot your course and it just moves on the rails.

I found the rail-type of gameplay for the boat in PH pretty fun actually, there is just something about shooting out moblin ships and getting assaulted by exploding seagulls that is somewhat awesome.

I do like that they are at least making the bosses seem bigger in this game, i was disappointed that PH had smaller and less epic boss fights...not to mention they were too fucking easy...

When I first saw the title for this game I thought "Oh, a Zelda cart racer." but then I saw somethings...

it's not like I wasn't expecting anything good for the next Zelda, but I don't think the train idea will work very well. the thing that bothers me the most is that they're using the same graphical style as Phantom Hourglass! I wouldn't mind the idea so much if they would of done something different(2d perhaps) for the graphics, but I find it a bit lazy. I don't mean to sound like too concerned about graphics, but Nintendo is a big company, full of creative people and own tons of money. The can be creative and make a new look for every Zelda game.

A train is just another form of transportation, just hope they have some fun missions/overworld stuff with it.  Looks like it could be fun though with controlling enemies and such to do your bidding.  I'm just wondering where or when this game takes place since I see no hint of the great ocean.  Of course this is me assuming that due to the style of the graphics it still takes place in the same world/period that Wind Waker did.

I'm pleasantly surprised that it wasn't what I had anticipated. I had my doubts before I watched the video, I figured by train they meant a full-blown passenger train like Dark Cloud 2, but I can actually see this working out just fine.

Guys! The Zelda series is dead! Please!

Zelda was awesome in its heyday. But eventually it's going to peter out into what's happening with Mario and Sonic, and it'll be fricking old. They should at least wait ten years before they make a new one. At least it'll be viewed more of as a classic than a "fuck not another one" game. No one wants to see this series die, but it doesn't help when Nintendo is stabbing it repeatedly in the heart with the PALETTE SWAP machete.

I guess this time instead of controlling the boomerang to hit switches you control statues to hit buttons?

OH WAIT
