Zelda (GC) - new info, really!

By James Ransom-Wiley

Thanks to the Spanish publication, Hobby Consolas, we have some fresh details about the upcoming Zelda title for the GameCube.  So here are the new
facts:

-Roughly 70 hours of gameplay

-A gameworld 2-3 times the size of the world featured in Ocarina of Time

-"[Although] Link will be an adult at the start of the adventure, he will also mature little by little, over the passage of time" (translation from Spanish).  Fable, anyone?

-Horseback battles feature both sword and bow fighting; and force players to dodge oncoming attacks, both short- and long-range; huge, open battlefields

-Similar controller to previous titles; automatic jumping; "Z targeting" to lock onto enemies (that's "L" on  the GameCube controller)

-Hint of a new "subaquatic" world
