Rated T for TEEN!

[Paladin's Heart]

Alright guys, I think it's enough with the SPAM and we should get back on track to more constructive posts? It makes our forum look bad lawl xDDD You don't want PH to close down this thread, now do you?

Sorry for being a party pooper

Um, sure. We'll get back on track.

TEEN RATING WHOOPS A$$!!

[Alantie]

I think the problem is there isn't much more to say about the T rating. . . I mean, we've discussed it all, haven't we? It comes down to these:

1. Violence/excessive blood and hacking/bomb dropping

2. Language

3. Link and Zelda make out scene

4. Link's general smexiness

[CrazygurlMadness]

Yes. But it won't be language.

'Cause, um, hello. WHAT language?

Probably just due to more mature plot twists. Like character death or something. (NOT ZELDA OR LINK'S DEATHS. I stand by my statements in other threads.)

But maybe Ilia dies or something. That's sad. I don't see her as a romantic partner for Link, but definitely a friend, like Saria.

[Alantie]

Yikes! I forgot about character death. Well. . . the Deku Tree dies, and that soldier in OoT, but I guess that's different than a real tragic character death, huh? Maybe it is the reason for a higher rating.

I think, violence wise, it won't be anymore extreme than Wind Waker, but perhaps since they are going for a more realistic game, they'll have blood in it. Not like Kill Bill amounts of blood, but enough to give it that T rating.

And if you think about it really, most Zelda games do have quite a bit of violence in them. I mean, more often than not the main goal in a Zelda game is to kill Ganon (or whatever villain happens to be the antagonist). And in order to get to the big bad, you have to slaughter your way through hoards of fell beasties.

I think Nintendo's gotten away with giving the games a lower than T rating is because the enemies, when defeated, would immediately vanish in some way, instead of lying there, dead.

[CrazygurlMadness]

But so will the enemies in TP, with the good ole puff o' smoke.

[Alantie]

I actually heared otherwise, that there will be blood and the enemy carcasses lying around. I somehow doubt it though.

[gr33n_sl33ves]

I'm kinda hoping for blood, actually ^-^;;

I imagined my own when Link stabbed Ganondorf in the face in WW

[Alantie]

Rofl

Actually, I kind of did too

I want to see Ganny bruised, broken, bleeding and DEAD!!! AHAHAHAHA!! Except, he can't die. Not unless TP fixes that. Darn this waiting!!! They need to put the friggen game out already so we can just SEE why its rated T

[CrazygurlMadness]

Squirt all over the place.

The idea has merit, but with the amount of whooping Link's gonna provide us with, it's likely all the spilled blood would beg for an M rating rather than just a T...

[gr33n_sl33ves]

Well, maybe only certain enemies are going to bleed, like Ganny XD

[CrazygurlMadness]

Don't we all wish it. :sigh:

[gr33n_sl33ves]

That we do *cackles maniacally*

I was shocked to find out that the Zelda rating was TEEN. It's great that Zelda is advancing, but I'll admit that I was a bit taken aback when I saw this. Still, parents are still going to buy it for their kids. And didn't Eiji talk about possibly there being a Romance feeling between Link and Zelda? It's too much for the kids too see.
