I wasn’t interested in it at all.”Īt the next year’s Space World, in 2001, we got a very different trailer. It was more like a continuation of the previous version.” To me at the time, I say, it looked like a scene from Ocarina of Time, but better looking. There wasn’t any kind of revelation going on. That video clip didn’t actually contain any big surprises. “I felt like this wasn’t what I imagined Zelda to be. “I saw that movie and I thought, ‘No, this isn’t Zelda. Nintendo fans could barely contain themselves. Ganondorf, armour-clad and cackling, loomed over an adult Link, who threw his shield aside to meet his two-handed strike. The demo reel included a brief face-off between Link and Ganondorf, styled after Ocarina of Time. What had us all in a froth of anticipation, though, was a ten-second glimpse of what Zelda could look like on this new hardware.
All of it was impossibly good-looking to a kid who grew up squinting at the N64’s fuzzy polygons.
Space World 2000 gave the eager Nintendo faithful our first glimpse of Luigi’s Mansion, a new Metroid, Pokemon and Mario on a 128-bit console (when was it that we stopped talking about bits?). I was 12 years old when the GameCube was announced in 2000, still an inveterate Nintendo fangirl obsessing over screenshots in magazines from Space World, the Japanese trade show that Nintendo used to put on for the press.
