From what I can gather, this has two parts to it: if you get stuck on a puzzle, you can press the Hint button and essentially get a solution to it, with the game showing you how to solve it. You can also download data from other players showing you how they solved it. In addition to this, you can start from specific points in the game at any time, but you'll be unable to save if you do this. The general idea is to make it more casual-friendly, so that even those who get stuck at a certain point in the game will still be able to experience the game in its entirety.
In other words...Nintendo just patented the Win button.
This is actually good news, though. With the Hint and Scene system allowing casual players to play through while skipping the parts they don't like, it means that Nintendo can focus on the hardcore crowd while making the game without worrying about it being too difficult. Plus, this means that you won't have to play through the entire game again to get to a point that you like.
And the concept art pretty much proves that it's Zelda...Legend of OO? Really? |

That's . I can't wait.
And the early game screens prove that it's Zelda.
..That or a Zelda ripoff made by Nintendo...

The game solves the puzzle for you? Where's the fun in that? Why not just sell guides? Ultimately more profitable. Those puzzles better be harder than hell though. |

The point is that the Hint system will be optional. It's just a last resort if you absolutely can't solve it. |

A lazy bum like me will use it every other puzzle, probably. lulz And by hard puzzle, I mean OoT Water Temple. Still need a guide for that. |

The picture reminds me of that thing Nintendo did after finishing TP.
Apparently, They used the TP engine and played around with it using miis. ーДー ◉_◉ ʘﮯʘ |

HELL NO.
Dear Nintendo,
we miss you. It feels like we've grown so far apart, and it wasn't always like this. Do you remember the old times ? You'd look on us and give us your ideas, full of charm, wit, sparkle and challenge. And we hung on your lips, eager for every word of a new excitement for us to behold. And you promised entertainment and ideas, and we got them and rewarded you with love, affection and metric truckloads of gold. But now you made these new freinds, and they aren't like us. We understand if you want to make new friends, but we feel left alone. You're trying so hard to make your new friends laugh that we get nothing really anymore, and even those ideas you had just for us are now made with them in mind.
We miss you.
Lots of love,
the core gamer crowd.
P.S.: We want a divorce. |

....WTF.
This is pretty interesting. Nintendo is really going to far experimenting with their games. Zelda is fine the way it is, and now they are changing it. Seriously, WTF. |

Maybe it might as well be like those point and click adventures. |

Dear digibutter.nerr, As you are reading this message I am in Japan looking for Nintendo HQ.
I will enter the building with a butter knife shaped like the master sword and a waistcoat full of brass knuckles.
If you never hear from me again it's because I died in a failed attempt at a hadouken on the newest Zelda game.
Yours murderously, Steve. |

Yeah. I don't think it's going to have like a plot or anything. It'll just be like a Zelda puzzle game. I hope not..  |

Stop whining guys, if they add this easy button thing then the casuals can play through all casually and shit with the game still being difficult like the old games. |
