New Zelda Pre Order Promo

[dsullo]

I read in the EGM that for pre ordering the next Zelda, you receive a Promotional Zelda Windwalker Game that is completely revamped with more mature graphics and 2 addtional dungeons. I will be all over that!

[joshnickerson]

Yeah... did you see what DATE they were gonna start doing that?

[Querjek]

I'm not positive on this, but I think that the bird in that screenshot is from FF: Crystal Chronicles. I may be wrong, but I do know for a fact that this is fake.

[Xantan the Foul]

That sounds kinda interesting, but I didn't really care much for Wind Waker, and not just because of the graphics.

When it was good, it was really good, but it felt like a long time in between the good parts.

It was already discussed here:

Make sure ya note the MONTH of this issue, and think back to that same month in past years and what EGM has published then.

Maybe I'm missing something - but what does the above link have to do with the Zelda pre-order (whether that pre-order thing is real or not)... Is it just the april fools connection? Regardless, the link above talks about a different 'joke'.... back to zelda... details?

[BigGeorgeJohnson]

It's Egm's April's fools joke. They do this every year for their April issue.

I was informed that Drexel's link above is in fact a different subject than this one.

Second to last post in the thread I posted:


Was the April Fools joke the Zelda thing?

Granted it was a question, but anyone could have continued the conversation there with the answer. Whatever....maybe I'm trying too hard to streamline the system -_-

[Jive3D]

I was going to post my question there but I felt that it was much more relevent here since it's mentioned in the title of this thread and NOT in the title of the thread that you linked to.

Was an April Fool's Joke.

[s1lence]

Yeah that is there stupid april fools joke. Not anywhere near as good as the previous Super Smash brothers joke with the characters that couldnt ever be unlocked.

[Jibbajaba]

LOL LOL P.T. Barnum was right....

Don't feel bad dude. A guy at work showed me his mag. I got all exicted about it. He says:

"Wow, I finally stumped him. Something he hasn't heard about."

Later that day I got to thinking about what mag it was and what month the mag was printed for. Needless to say, I was really bummed.

[videogameking26]

Count me pre-ordering it real soon :D

[GobopopRevisited]

Pretty rotten Joke :angry:

I would love it if it were true... even though The Wind Waker is the most visually stunning game ever created!

[Jive3D]

Would anyone be so kind as to scan that page?

[Crush Crawfish]

Thanks for the scan, dude. Man does that picture ever look fake. Link's body looks all out of proportion and stuff.

[kainemaxwell]

I don't mind a good EGM April Fools like they've done in the past but this is just a bit low, which by recent complaints by members here, doesn't seem too off by their recent issues.

[howdoin]

too bad because it would have indeed been an enticing deal for me to break my "thou shall not pre-order any game" rule.

[slip81]

This was EGM's weakest April Fool's joke yet IMO. They didn't even try to hide it or make it clever.

[NintendoMan]

Holy shit, I haven't read that issue of egm yet but will try to by the weekend, but would have COMPLETELY went for it. I mean who wouldn't, it's in a game magazine.
