Kick ass! Hopefully an original GBA Mario will follow...
When I saw the title of the thread, though, I thought it was referring to the much-rumored remake of the original NES Zelda for GB. Has anyone heard what happened to that idea?
Maybe they'll include it as a bonus in Wind Waker...
As far as I know, they realized the different resolutions didn't allow for a perfect port(or remake) of the game, so they scrapped it in favor of the Oracle games. You can see shades of the remake on Oracle of Seasons, where almost every boss(and most of the dungeons) are taken from the original game. In fact, I consider OoS the unoficial LoZ remake.

I'll be the first one to admit it, I don't like the N64-style Link at all. I know I'm in the minority among Zelda fans, but I think he was annoying as a child, and looked kinda goofy as an adult. My favorite Link style? The artwork for Link to the Past. I don't know how well that design would translate to 3D, but I liked that Link much more than what we had for Ocarina of Time. And I think the new cel-shaded style is awesome. The GBA characters in Four Swords are similarly awesome-looking too, heheh.
You're not alone there, buddy; I'm like that too. So, what version of LttP are you talking about, the SNES original, or the GBA remake? My favorite version of Link is the one from GBA LttP, followed by the one from Oracles and the one from Wind Waker and Four Swords.

Not just you, I notice this idotic logic all the time. People dont realize that they have been playing as kid link the whole time. Except for Adventure of Link (zelda 2) i guess. Whenever I encounter someone in real life with this "CELDA" argument I bring this fact and they really dont know how to answer or give a good explanation as to why this "new look" is so hideous.
So much for true Zelda fans?
It seems like this particular Link that appeared in one game has suddenly become the "true" Link of the entire series that predates him.
It would be like using Cloud as a visual represntation of any Final Fantasy news.
Then again, maybe it's just me...
In response to Dragon warrior (I think): It never says it's a sequel to Link's Awakening (which is fine with me if it's not).
In response to Juan: Actually, I believe that Link was 15 in the first Zelda and 16 in Adventure of Link, though I may be mistaken (It may be 14 and 15). As far as I know, the only adult Link (18+) was in OoT.
Personally I have loved every Zelda game (on a Nintendo system, I don't count the CDi crap) and can't wait to get the Wind Waker. Master Quest is turning out great so far. I'm a big fan of the Legend of Zelda series, and a graphic change won't change that for me. People I know that complain about the new Zelda get on my nerves, because they are judging everything based on OoT and haven't really ever played the NES Zelda's or even the SNES Zelda. Personally, as I always say, the first two games will always have the biggest place in my heart of all of them, I loved the stories of those two games.

I didn't know the GBA LttP had new art. I don't own the game, I'm borrowing it from a friend, so I guess I wouldn't have seen anything in the instructions. The Oracles art is awesome too, though, I kinda forgot about that. I also like the 2D art for Link in the N64 SSB. I don't think it ever appeared in the game, since the Link in that game was the adult OoT Link, but it's probably in the instructions. I dunno about the US version, though, I have the JPN one.
Anyway, the SNES LttP art is still my favorite. Link looked cool, young yet heroic, and all the other art surrounding the game was awesome, too. The monsters and that very cool image of the Master Sword sitting in the woods... imagine how much cooler the Nintendo Power Zelda comic would have been if the original LttP artist drew it! Not to say that it wasn't plenty cool as it was, I loved it regardless.
