Ocarina of Time Eurpean Box Art Released

[triforceguy1]

Hey,

I just found out that the European Box Art has been released, and I think it looks much better than the North American version, which is a nice change as it's usually the other way round

What do you guys and gals think?

Cheers

Europe always gets the better box art. Americans always get the sucky one. At least for Zelda, we do.

But yeah, I expected this.

Yes, the European box art looks awesome, but I'm more of a fan of the NA box.

Also, that OoT card had better be golden.

I am doubting a gold cart. they haven't done pokemon carts in color since GBA so I won't hold my breath.

I like both box arts, but I prefer the North American box art. They should have an inside out box art like how the PS3 game boxes are like.

I mentioned this in another thread, but I'll ask a similar question here.

I'll be in Italy on June 17th when OoT is released there. If I get an Italian copy (only as a souvenir as it won't work on a North American 3DS), will the Title on the box art be in Italian? If it's still in English then eh, forget it. But if it's in Italian that'd be a really cool souvenir to me.

I like the european box art better. Sure the gold is cool, but just like the american box art for the DS games it is a bit empty and boring. The european versions have a more colorful background and atmosphere. I like that they put lon lon ranch and hyrule castle town in the background.

I think only the background information and manual will be in Italian, but I don't live in Italy so I'm not 100% certain. The Dutch version of the game still has the english title and the game is in english and I can't remember seeing a german or french zelda game with the title in german/french.

This is great, I get the better one.
I don't really think it sums it up, though. Like Phantom Hourglass' box art was Link in a boat, which is basically what he does half the game, and likewise with Spirit Tracks. Link riding Epona in Hyrule field doesn't really sum it up to my satisfaction. It does look good, though, but oddly bright considering the way the story ends up, if you ask me.

The logo and title will be in English but everything else (instructions, writing on the back etc.) will be in Italian

Hmm, I can't really decide which one I like better. Ours (EU) is more detailed but the gold of the NA version maybe makes it look more valauable.
I wonder how the Japanese one looks... do they have the same box art as the EU one? At least their official OoT3D site (was posted here some days ago) uses the same logo: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/aqej/index.html
Another thing that's strange are the ratings for the game: It's 10+ in the US, 12+ in the EU but 6+ in Germany (according to http://www.nintendo.de/NOE/de_DE/ga...legend_of_zelda_ocarina_of_time_3d_31475.html on the right side under "Altersfreigabe"; we don't participate in the PEGI system). Makes me wonder how they come up with such huge differences.

YAY!!! European one looks awesome and IM European.

 

[Mono41]

I still think the NA box art is better. The European box art looks good, but I like the simplicity of the NA box art.

 

[LolGames4U]

I really like both of them, but if I had to pick, I think I'd take the North American. I like the mysteriousness of it and the old-y feel.

 

[Vanessa28]

I like the box art! It is bright BUT I like the pic of link on the NA one better because it is epic. Link on Epona holding his sword is an epic picture. They should have used that one. But still I like it. Both versions are cool though.

 

[SwiftestPhantom]

I do like them both...but i think I also Linke the NA boxart better..more...original, I guess..(thinking of PH and ST boxart..)
