preordered the LE based on that, i'm guessing the 8 pages is the manga described in the regular but not the limited. i contacted Dark Horse to find out if it is indeed the manga that's missing (and why), waiting to hear back.

Both look good in their own way. If indeed the LE doesn't have the manga, it would be stupid for a version that's more than twice the price to have less content.

I don't normally mess with the timeline talk so much, but now that the art book has it all laid out i guess it's at least no longer ambiguous - i've heard from a few people GT's in-depth look at it was solid, posting it here to remind myself to watch it tomorrow as well

That was an interesting vid. I've never been much for the timeline shit. I prefer to just think of Link as an aspect of the Eternal Champion , Zelda is the consort. Then you have an object of power and an opposition. These roles repeat themselves in varying circumstances across dimensions and time. A grand moment echoing across the multiverse.

Add all 4 roles, throw in a silly hat and baby, you got yourself a LoZ goin'!

So, I don't think this has been discussed in this thread, or the Wii U thread: 2014 Zelda game for Wii U.

 

Nintendo's iconic Zelda series will arrive on the Wii U in 2014, according to a new report at Wii U Daily. A source from Nintendo's Japanese office claims that the company has assembled the biggest team in company history, numbering "hundreds" of developers, to work on the most expensive project in company history.

 

"This is Rockstar/GTA territory," the source said.

Artist's rendition of what a Zelda game might look like if she was the protagonist.

 

Clockwork Empire is set 2,000 years after Twilight Princess, and is not a reboot, but simply another iteration in the Zelda franchise. It just so happens that in this case, Zelda is the protagonist. I’m a very big Zelda fan, and worked hard to draw from key elements in the continuity and mythos.
