"Miyamoto was thrilled with the idea…" That's where you know it's a fake.
You guys are so good at checking and verifying sources. I wish the big name "official" gaming news people could be trusted to do that. Hell, I wish _all_ news people could be trusted to do that.
This is real journalism, if only the real news was like this
exactly. this is my game journos are seen so negatively, along with the idea that they can’t even get past the tutorial.
@@Vulpas Al Jazeera, Reuters, and BBC exist. Most mainstream news isn't actually news though.
DYKG are quietly one of the best investigative journalism channels out there. They dig up exclusive japanese books and pay out of pocket to translate them just for the sake of sharing new lore.
They have made mistakes before, but admit and correct them.
Honestly, just describing an ongoing struggle in creative differences between Aunoma and Miyamoto was evidence enough. Nintendo would not let them air out any internal disputes in a public setting like that.
It was the same time with the Galaxy games, and Yoshiaki Koizumi had beef with Miyamoto over story in games.
Yeah that was a big red flag - aunoma and Miyamoto are professional co-workers, I don't think either of them would ever dream of throwing shade on the other like that, even if they could
@@Nozo1234 I'm sure the two have their creative differences at times. But I'm sure they know how to sort those out professionally
The fact the game was Steampunk themed but also a prequel of Wind Waker could have also been a tell
Like, this is a prequel, yet the concept is so futuristic and there's zero remains of that advanced Hyrule in what you see in the sea of Wind Waker, it has so many contradictions it's fun to pick apart
300th like
God I remember the Valley of the Flood rumours. I think "wanted to believe" is a good way to put it, because it just sounded so cool. And it's so rare that Nintendo fills gaps in the Zelda timeline like that, so a lot of us were just really hoping that it would break the trend
I vaguely remember hearing about Valley of the Flood back in middle school, I never believed it because they had a Wind Waker sequel in Phantom Hourglass. Though it's funny how some of the ways Link would have been able to travel in this 'new Zelda ' did eventually make it into the series with 2009's Spirit Tracks and of course 2011's Skyward Sword. I guess they do sometimes listen to rumors as well as fans for their next big ideas
I remember that rumor from when I was in Middle School. I thought it was a cool concept.
Hold up, that’s *actually* 15 year old Brian Stelter? He based it just on his French friend, and that guy was confused by something he saw from the infamous Titus of Superman 64 fame? 😂
I love everything about this.
18:52 To be fair:
As insane as the supposed Project Deluge was.
They at least got the Orchestrated Soundtrack the next Zelda would've right.
That was an insanely safe prediction though.
@@stephenfiler3204 Was it?
Remember the incredible safe prediction that "Project Revolution" would be an HD Console?
That's the easiest prediction imaginable to make.
I remember when that rumor of Zelda 3 for the NES came along and the guy who had the prototype showed an odd photo but won't upload it to the internet or show more of it because he *was a very busy guy*. Yes, it was obviously a hoax.
That was one of the first video game hoaxes I came across as a kid. Even back then almost everyone knew it was fake. If I recall it was an ebay listing and allegedly someone did buy it, although I doubt the transaction actually went through.
Man I remember that situation like it was yesterday. Such a convincing screenshot.
It reminds me of TheGreatMethesulah doing OoT2D and never releasing progress of his demo
Don't forget that Silicon Knights supposedly bought the prototype and then they denied making the purchase.
Valley of the Deluge is still probably my favorite fake gaming leak from back in the day, rivalling even Nintendo On. I remember knowing it was fake even before reading that fake interview, but I always loved the idea of someone straightup lying to themselves saying they're the Hero of Time and ultimately failing as the overworld dynamically gets flooded over the course of the game.
What was "Nintendo On"? I haven't even heard of this one.
@@lugbzurg8987 I believe it was a fake console leak from the mid to late 2000s, that was like a VR headset. There was a picture that went along with it too that at the time looked very believable.
Dude I remember those leakes about Valley of the Flood/Deluge. It was dark enough to be believable as a Zelda game but too edgy to actually be real
Bur honestly the concept would work great in today's open world Zelda formula and Wind Waker shows not all heroes are Link reborn so it's be cool if by the end of the game when the world ifls flooding, the goddesses reveal him to be a true hero or something like that :V
@@SeekerNami It was definitely pretty edgy, but I think that's why I liked it so much. Like the idea that you're some guy who's fooled himself into thinking he's the hero just sounds like a really neat hook for a game. Plus the overworld flooding as you "fail" each dungeon just sounded like a really interesting way to keep the exploration fresh, though having a game where the hero ultimately fails definitely feels like a hard sell.
@@Nintokis True, knowing Nintendo, even if there's a huge audience willing to see the protagonist fail (it's not a new concept in games after all and I bet quite a few would like to see Link lose), they'd never do it. I mean, they had a game where the hero and the champions lose at the very start of the story, they MADE a prequel of sorts and still had the day saved by contrived devices instead of you know, giving us an epic and sad end to the story.
I loved the edginess too. The same reason you liked it are why I got hooked to the idea. And like in the end Nintendo would find an equally contrived way of getting that delusional guy into saving the day at some point if they wanted :v
Good to know Brian has never been a reliable source. 😂
Political moment
Some people are just trash
CSN someone explain the comments? Did some controversy happen with DYKG that I don't know about?
@@hoth2112 I see now
OMG! I'm wheezing laughing! 🤣
Came for the Zelda, was pleasantly surprised to find some jabs at Brian Stelter. Lol
But seriously, the research you guys do is always impressive!
The Zelda games made by Capcom are among my favorites in the series. I wish Nintendo would let them develop another game
the thing is that the team behind them was "FLAGSHIP" which folded after the release of kirby Squeak squad
Since Hidemaro Fujibayashi, the director of the last three 3D Zelda games, was hired by Nintendo after his work on the Oracle games, Four Swords and Minish Cap, I think it's safe to assume at least some others from FLAGSHIP are also currently working on the series.
I mean its not like "John Capcom" was making the games. The director for those games was the director of SS, BotW, and TotK. So I think they took who they needed to
When he described project Deluge my only thought was that the main character was Tingle 😂😂
I would have absolutely loved a third Oracle game, Seasons and Ages were great
Totally!! Honestly, it would've made it a real epic.
I had both as a kid and I thought the secret quest you can play with the code from beating one was the coolest thing ever, like legit. It still is really cool lol
@@damiencouturee6240it is still cool, and unique. Plenty have some data transfer from on game to a sequel, but this is the only game I know of that unlocks content from beating multiple connected games.
Two of my favourite games.
I always wonder how a gimmick in a third would work.
Day/ Night cycle?
Some sort of colour transformation?
My ongoing pipe dream is that Oracle of Ages and Seasons get a Link’s Awakening style remake, with them finally releasing the third game
“Was it true? Was this the cancelled Zelda game?”
Nah there’s no way-
“Of f*cking course not.”
😂
I really want a Zelda 2 remake. I feel like that game has so much potential.
There were some Link sprites that were found during the Giga Leak that looked like they were meant for a Super NES remake of Zelda II
To be honest, I think Zelda II needs an extensive remake, to make it more like a modern search-action game
Inti creates has been trying to get nintendo to greenlit that for years now
Wasn't it called Enhanced PC Edition or HD NES?
@@Goldmight They would be perfect for that.
Seeing that most people treat Zelda 2 as the "black sheep" of the series, it's no wonder Nintendo never made a remake or another similar Zelda game and instead stuck with the original Zelda's formula (at least for the 2D Zelda games).
I really appreciate the work you guys do. You are more thorough than most.
but the narratives are terrible, I miss the old one!
Definitely more thorough than Brian Stelter....
@@JGreen-le8xx but more worse than Rebecca
I still really think that an HD 2D remake of Zelda 2 Link's adventure would be pretty amazing
It'd probably do even better now with BotW and TotK being well received
As long as it's balanced to be less brutal.
@@GabePuratekuta or balanced to be betterly brutal
@@GabePuratekuta honestly it would just need to have it's lives system removed, have at least health pickups infrequently drop or have more magic drops for the heal spell, and tweak the AI to not read inputs as much.
how does this channel not have like 5+ million subscribers now? This is such fire content
Because they were hacked a few weeks ago and lost tens of thousands of subscribers :(
@@IceSpoon I'd also argue that video game trivia is kinda niche compared to, like, let's plays.
I remember hearing about Valley of the Deluge years ago. The rumor I saw speculated it to be not just a Wind Waker prequel, but also a Twilight Princess sequel. In retrospect that'd be impossible, but as someone who holds the opinion the Zelda timeline was mostly made up long after all the pre-Skyward Sword games were made it wasn't completely out there for the time. That said, even with my opinion on the timeline, I think the split does the best job of explaining why Hyrule was flooded: the Hero ceased to exist in that timeline. Not simply dead, he left the timeline all together so he couldn't reincarnate
>Journalist creates fake news at 15
>Gets hired by CNN
Ha
It’s like poetry. It rhymes.
This should be added to his Wikipedia page 🤣
Ok maga boy
Brian Stelter sure has had a life-long dedication to fake news. Wow!
I laughed just hard enough at that
Should be working at Fox News, he'd fit right in lmao
@@StormSnake0618 Fox isn't an anomaly, just the one with the biggest lawsuit so far. They all do the same things. Hence Stelter and the many like him who still have jobs at (name a network).
@StormSnake0618 it's funny because you got butthurt over your potato hero.
@@StormSnake0618 lol, reactionary whataboutism. They're all trash.
In regards to the Zelda Mobile game, I can almost certainly say that a "Pokemon GO-styled Shrine Hunting Game" is NOT what would have been made. My reason? The company behind it.
Nintendo were working with DeNA, NOT Niantic. Pokemon GO and the often forgotten Pikmin Bloom were done by Niantic, so Nintendo wouldn't just throw all of that data away. Considering MKT, FEH, and ACPC were done under the DeNA partnership, the Zelda Mobile Game more than likely would have followed a similar structure. As for the gameplay, who knows, but gacha like FEH or PMEX doesn't sound like the way they'd go.
If Zelda smartphone game was ever made, it would probably be like Genshin Impact regarding the microtransactions.
17:50 that actually sounds dope as hell even if it is fake especially steampunk hyrule
I would love a Steampunk Zelda.
I would love a steampunk or a sci-fi themed Zelda, but I lost my hopes for a non-medieval setting, at least we had Majora's Mask which had a lot of industrial era stuff.
The spirit tracks mobile sequel could be steampunk
I remember reading about Valley of the Flood as a kid. I still think it could be a cool concept
16:46 Yahaha! You found me!
Was not expecting that F-bomb. Excellent work as usual, this was really fascinating!
Aw man, a mobile game would solve the problem I have with Tears of the Kingdom, where I can’t cram burgers in my gullet while exploring Hyrule!
It would probably look better too lmao
Thank you for the honesty,time investment and anti sensationalism. Bring on more Zelda videos!
That white ball thing in the GBA tech demo reminds me of Rover from The Prisoner. And I can't believe I'm making that kind of reference.
That's an oddly apt comparison
I recall a friend telling me about the Valley of the Flood rumor back in the day... I don't remember if either of us believed it or not, but it just sounds so compelling and unique that I can't help but wish it was real.
"There hasn't been a new Zelda game or even a hint of one for two years at this point" but Phantom Hourglass came out in 2007, the year after Twilight Princess came out
They're talking about in terms of 3D Zelda games I reckoned
This is why people SHOULD think about portable games too instead of just deeming them LESSER
Not surprised Brian had a history of bad reporting even back then.
It's actually hilarious.
The Zelda Smartphone game I remember several outlets covering. Maybe they were being hopeful and said Zelda would be a game that may come out after Nintendo announced a partnership, but that's one of those projects that could still be possible and I'm excited to see how it works lol
This is like finding out that tucker carlson started the Luigi is playable in mario 64 rumor
It makes me so sad that Mario Run wasn't more popular. They put out a good enough demo that showed you what you'd get and how fun it was, and that made me buy it, happy that they weren't gonna micro my transactions. I played through it all and even played a good bit of the races and shuffles or whatever. It's great to just keep on the phone for when you just have a few minutes to kill and not enough internet for a good stable experience wasting time on said internet. It's no masterpiece but it's fun in small bursts and I always have it in my pocket, and I had fun playing all the regular levels and hunting the special coins. Pretty sure there's still four coins I haven't gotten... anyway, I really feel like I got ten bucks worth of entertainment out of it. Definitely more than I've ever gotten buying a microtransaction.
It's amazing that the lastest Zelda games carry the most of miyamota imagined, going on a vague adventure across a wide countryside collecting and experimenting with equipment, and just wondering around aimless and get into whatever antics come up.
I think the one who made up Valley of the Flood based it on the rumors and speculation from way back during Twilight Princess initial reveal. Since there was basically no official information regarding the timeline at all, many people thought the new Zelda game would have to be a Wind Waker prequel and would therefore have to end with Link failing and being forgotten. So when the VotF rumors started appearing, I thought it was just someone who had really wanted those old theories to be true and tried to get people talking about them again.
What a coincidence! Just yesterday I was zooming through DYKG’s lasted Zelda videos and thinking that they were all great!
Looking back on it, Valley of the Flood sounds like it would make for a nice title for a sequal to Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
19:05 Hope that guy was ok when Spirit Tracks got out, complete with trains.
Would love to see another one of these! Abandoned series deserve more love, and I’d love to see you cover more. Maybe include Klonoa? Despite the recent remasters there hasn’t been a new entry in almost two decades, and I’d love to see you talk about it!
The Brian Stelter section is funny
I was pleasantly surprised to see a jab at him, I thought this channel leaned woke.
13:05 Never heard the word 'fiduciary' in my life. That's a nice word.
Great video as always !
3:33 was not expecting an appearence from this smooth brain.
11:02 It's the meme!
The name Project Deluge sounds familiar. (Kinda reminds me of that one campaign that got Xenoblade Chronicles a US release.) However, if they swapped Eiji Aonuma with Yoshiaki Koizumi when it comes to story, that interview would probably be a bit more accurate. That guy did stuff for Link's Awakening and Majora's Mask.
Also, I'm surprised you didn't mention any old magazine scans of an SNES Adventure of Link remake (which I know existed as magazine scans), much less brought up the Gigaleak of a platform-game Link, or that one Adventure of Link song in some of the SNES test carts. Then again, this video is about rumors.
I think the Zelda Mobile game would've just simply been a kind of puzzle game, maybe with simple dungeon exploration, perhaps even with randomly generated layouts. But some kind of puzzle focused/based gameplay makes the most sense to me. I get the feeling it would've also used a Toon Link rather than BotW Link, especially if it was 3d- the simpler design and lower poly-count it would require would run better on a wider range of mobile phones than a more detailed one I imagine. Toon Link would've probably also been chosen to appeal to younger audiences or their parents, since it is a very cute and child-friendly design, while BotW Link could've been seen as maybe being more "Teen friendly" to parents unfamiliar with the series. I don't REALLY know much at all about marketing or game development though, for all I know they would've stuck with the BotW design for synergy or something.
In the end though it REALLY is purely speculation, of course, lmao.
Your researches are amazing. I wish I had that much skill. I'm a collector of zelda stuff and currently focusing on cards. If anyone from your team could help me finding information on the amada set and maybe other old cards, it would be a dream come true for me. I'm always looking for these cards and they rarely show up, informations about them seems impossible to find. Still all you show in your video are informations that seems impossible to find, so I guess you're my only hope.
A wind waker prequel would be neat.
Always so impressed with your research. If the news was this thorough, there'd be world peace. For now, we're the lucky gamers who get to watch your videos. Cheers!
Weird, I haven't heard of Project Deluge/Valley of the Flood, closest I heard of was a Zelda game with a futuristic setting that wasn't the original plan for Zelda 1 or LttP but something further down the line, I forget exactly when it was, though it was at least after Twilight Princess.
Miyamoto truly is a master - even I eat burgers with two hands instead of one. Impressive skills.
You guys make the best journalistic work than any site in na
Speaking of fake Zelda rumors: does anyone else remember around 2007-2011 there were rumors that Bungie (yes, THAT Bungie) were going to be making a sci-fi Zelda game? It might have been from some obscure gaming magazine I read as a kid. I remember there was this art (probably stolen fanart or something) of Link in this green futuristic armor like Master Chief and he was riding a motorcycle or hoverbike. I tried googling this and couldn't find anything. Am I crazy or does anybody know what I'm talking about?
They covered this on the channel, there were 2 Zelda side games that Western studios (Retro and one other I think) pitched to Nintendo iirc. One didn't really get past the concept and the other was pitched with a really boring combat demo, so neither came to fruition.
i remember this. i believe it was an issue of gameinformer that came out around 2008. this article wasn't talking about an actual game in the works, though. They just interviewed a game designer from bungie and asked him how he would make a zelda game if given the opportunity.
That big eye link shown off and on around the 15:30 point is nightmare fuel.
Valley of the Flood was my favorite rumor I wanted it to be real so bad I still think of it often
I always look forward to your uploads, interesting content every time
I remember hearing something about a cancelled Wind Waker prequel where you'd play as Tetra, specifically focusing on the brief backstory mentioned in the game of them taking Forsaken Fortress, saying it would be some puzzle strategy game.
However, it was several years ago that I saw a single video mentioning it, so I'm not sure if it was a rumour, if the rumour was just "a Wind Waker prequel" and the rest was speculation or wishes, or if there was no rumour and just fan wishes. I believe the channel was GameOver Jesse.
Can anyone figure out what I'm talking about and tell me if I'm remembering right?
The most hilarious thing about that Project Deluge interview is how bullshit it is if you've seen and read orher interviews with Aonuma; he's very much in Miyamoto's camp of gameplay over story. Plus that whole thing reads like an edgy 15 year old wrote it.
To be fair, I would like to see Zelda II getting a re-make. It's a good game but it just wasn't planned properly. It needs to give better clues to where you need to go & more people will appreciate this classic game.
Korok puzzle game that supports AR would be a cool mobile concept.
In seasons and in ages you can pick one of 3 pets, this basicaly changes everything about how or where you can go in the game, maybe earlier in developement they were all going to be seperate games.
_"The punchline just kinda' wrote itself."_
"Brian Stelter" is the real punchline. XD
Little Brian Stelter 😂😂
I hope there comes a day when you guys go over the Fable series and its development history.
I never believed it, but Project Deluge is how I learned the word “deluge” haha
Me too
"Its a secret to everybody."
Whoever made that rumor about the steampunk Hyrule should have just written the fanfiction. I would have read it.
I remember there being a lot of discussion about the Valley of the Deluge rumor, but I never saw anyone point out the obvious reason it was fake: It makes no sense to occur at the point in the timeline that it was stated to. The interview made it clear that Hyrule was going to be flooded during the events of this game, and that it would take place between OOT and WW. But the issue with that is that Hyrule isn't flooded until the end of Wind Waker. Until then, it's preserved, perfectly dry and intact using some kind of magic to keep the ocean from falling on it.
For a Zelda game that supposedly was being made with story as a major component and taking place in a clearly stated part of the timeline, such a blatant contradiction wouldn't be overlooked. Yet, I don't remember anyone else bringing this up, despite many thinking that it was fake.
I can see why people wanted to believe in Valley of the Flood. That sounds like a really cool game. I now want to see it get made! Though honestly, the whole concept of a random kid taking up the mantle of the Hero was already done in Wind Waker, since the WW timeline is devoid of the original Hero's spirit.
I would love a Zelda 2 remake/remaster it’s definitely the most underrated
Okay so I was one that believed in the valley of the flood but keep in mind I was a kid and it sounded badass since I loved the wind waker and OOT
Damn was not expecting the Brian Stelter lore drop
18:26 just the fact that Miyamoto was "thrilled" by this idea, then you already know that this is fake lol.
The idea for project deluge sounds really cool.
im actually surprised they never remade Zelda2. Its main issue is repeating rooms and crude controls, both fixed by a modern remake easily
I loved the nds Zelda games..would be great to see remaster or something for mobile
It would be so cool if you guys could interview Retro Studios about Donkey Kong and Metroid Prime remaster
Honestly for how obviously fake the leak for Project Deluge is, the actual pitch of a game taking place in that setting would be cool to see and the concept of some random thinking they're the Hero of Legend *was* good enough for Hyrule Warriors to use for Linkle (a very underused, underexplored character all things considered).
I never thought I'd be nostalgic over a fake game leak but here we are. I honestly miss the hype and speculation behind Valley of the Flood. There used to be some really cool fan art for the game people made in excitement.
People say that Zelda mobile took the form of Guardian Tales behind the scenes, the game even has so many Nintendo references like they got the IPs, but it's not developed by Nintendo, but same out the same year that people said it would come out, this makes people believe the zelda mobile game turned into Guardian Tales after Nintendo cut ties with them and scrapped the zelda part of the project, so they reused assets and made it Guardian Tales.
The funny thing about Fire Emblem heroes bringing in so much money is that I just picked up the game and one of my first unlocked characters is the snake god lady that's extremely new to the game. I can't give you specifics because I watched the ad in Japanese and I play the game in Japanese as well as a means of practice
I love how the synopsis of project Deluge is literally just Linkle but worse
Great video as always 👍🏻
I love the mobile market. "I'll take the platinum lootbox for $50 without cheese. What? A full Mario game for $10? Do I look like I'm made of money?"
I was wondering but could you investigate the supposed cancelled Pokemon rpg for the Nintendo 64DD.
17:38 I don't know how possible it is. but I still think the crazy tale this troller was spinning would be an awesome game if it was done right.
A “false” Zelda game would be interesting especially with such a cookie cutter plot of totk. Definitely would change things up from the same plot they've been doing since the 80s.
I'd like to see someone make a Zelda romhack of the golden sun games. That game engine would fit nice for a Zelda 2 remake
I want Zelda 1 and 2 to get a remake so bad
Good news, Zelda 1 has an official "remake".
It’s absolutely incredible what information you find! Amazing video. Thank you for sharing!
game theory: what if link was actually zelda from another zone??
Like a gender bend Zelda travelling to another dimension? Prince Zeld?
Dude that is just this universe but Genderswap.
13:10 yeah to be kind of fair to Nintendo here you can play all the content in their games for free. Mario Kart tour especially since it's just tracks they release every two weeks
That valley of the flood sounded like a dark soul game 😂
Great research!
16:39 was the best part of this whole video!🤣🤣🤣
What about shard of nightmare? lol (less info about that one, but googling it will pull 1 specific image that went around before BotW came out lol)
Seeing Nintendo World Report made me feel old - I remember their name at the time as Planet N2000. 😅
I think the six game rumor is from Ages and Seasons mechanics, one having past and present, the other having four seasons, making 6 whole zelda games!!
Wasn’t expecting the CNN crossover
Man, Zelda Power. That brings back some memories. I frequented that site for years. I was in the IRC room every damn day. I was in there when somebody poinred out that Link's sword was on the wrong side in one of the triforce hoaxes.
I remember the rumor about Zelda smartphone game. Although back then msm lied about it being actual news.
Super Sponge is the gift that keeps on giving it seems
