It pains me to have to do this, but the image of Miyamoto at some press conference with the images of Zelda's possible Boxart and the the title "Gates of the Realm" is a faked image. Someone did an incredible job in photoshop altering an existing image online to appear as though it was some kind of Nintendo press conference.


I started having doubts after I examined the image very closely. First on the original image, there are these interlaced boxes throughout, except on the posters which appear to be made of smaller resolution boxes. That was suspicious. Next to Miyamoto's head there was an odd blurr, which I didn't see any correlating object to explain it. And then I gained access to the following Image:

And as you can see here, this is the same conference.

This reminds me of the old days of Ariana Almondoz's faked Light Temple picture way back in 1999 after all the hunts for the Triforce, and the Song of Sages, and the Triforce on the Quest Status. I mean those could probably be proven fake, but this image was the best use of photoshop I had ever seen. Quite incredible really but shameful.

So what does this all mean? Zelda's title is not "GATES OF THE REALM" rather we can only go with the last rumor that it was "The Bridle of Melancholy" or "Bridle of Sorrow" which seems to fall in line with the trend in Zelda games to have some item associated with the title i.e. "The Wind Waker" "The Minish Cap" etc. I personally thought "Gates of the Realm" was an awesome title, and I'm sure the guy who made the fake photograph thought so as well, but I have a feeling Nintendo can't think on that level, but heh, we'll find out. Sorry guys, it's a big let down.
