Smash Wii U & 3DS director Masahiro Sakurai says "Pic of the day. The twin grannies, Kotake and Koume, appear in Gerudo Valley! They're definitely up to no good."

Gerudo Valley was announced since E3. As for these two, they are most likely stage hazards. Considering the way Sakurai quotes them.This is such a great assist trophy idea! I can only imagine the mischief these two will bring to the fray.
This also appears to confirm that we have a Gerudo Valley stage coming our way!
Confirms? The Gerudo Valley stage can be seen in the E3 demos and trailers. In that vein, I guess this also confirms we might see Link in the game.This also appears to confirm that we have a Gerudo Valley stage coming our way!
Well, it kinda is well known, since there is plenty of footage and pics of it since Day one. :/I never seen this stage in the E3 demo. No need to act like it is well known info. An OOT stage is cool either way. I wonder what other zelda stages we will have besides SW and OOT. Since Toon Link in in the game and WWHD came out not long ago and because I am a total WW fanatic I hope for another WW stage. Loved Pirate ship in brawl.
The Wii U version is typically the bigger subject, since it's for a major console, rather than a handheld console. It makes you wonder if the 3DS version won't be out until some time after the Wii U version.Well, it kinda is well known, since there is plenty of footage and pics of it since Day one. :/
Anyways, happy to see that the Bridge doesn't just burn itself up. This is nice. But I am getting a Little worried about the lack of Assist Trophies and PokéBall Pkmn for the 3DS version. And items as a whole.
I hope not. Though it probably will. :/It makes you wonder if the 3DS version won't be out until some time after the Wii U version.
That is true, and for which I am happy since that's the version I am the most interested in. ^^The Wii U version is typically the bigger subject, since it's for a major console, rather than a handheld console.

Do you have a source that proves this? It's probably just a prediction for all we know.That is true, and for which I am happy since that's the version I am the most interested in. ^^
Oh, and also, it was stated that the Wii-U version will come out Before the 3DS one, so there's that, at least.
Can't find the source, sorry. :/ But I am not good at searching, so I'm sure someone else can. I am almost certain that was said, not long after E3, I Believe.Do you have a source that proves this? It's probably just a prediction for all we know.
No they wont, Sakurai has already said this, and laughed a bit at PSASBR in the process.Could possibly be our first AT we've seen on 3DS, which answers whether they have outlines or not. Very likely to be a stage hazard however...which begs the question; will stage hazards be able to be turned off?
Actually, Sakurai mentioned that the outlines can be toggled. The thickness can be increased, decreased or completely off. And yes, I assume they're a stage hazard or maybe an Assist Trophy, but since Brawl allowed Stage Hazards to be turned off, most likely this will too.Could possibly be our first AT we've seen on 3DS, which answers whether they have outlines or not.

Sakurai is most likely giving the Wii U version more spotlight since the Wii U has done poorly in sales, while the 3DS prospers. And we needn't worry about the 3DS version. After all, the game was originally going to be 3DS only.The Wii U version is typically the bigger subject, since it's for a major console, rather than a handheld console.

Really? I could've sworn I remembered that...Brawl never allowed Stage Hazards to be turned off.
3DS only? Dude. What are you talking about?Sakurai is most likely giving the Wii U version more spotlight since the Wii U has done poorly in sales, while the 3DS prospers. And we needn't worry about the 3DS version. After all, the game was originally going to be 3DS only.
That's how it originally was set to be. Sakurai said so himself in an interview.3DS only? Dude. What are you talking about?
It's easy to say something on the internet. May I have your source please?That's how it originally was set to be. Sakurai said so himself in an interview.
Actually, these two are Ganondorf's mothers. :3Dude just announce ganondorf already. So many hints, sisters and geurdo valley
Assist Trophies are also version unique:Skullkid is the Assist Trophy, they're only doing stages as version exclusives.
There was a pic earlier of the bridge burned down and now we know why, Koume and Kotake are the stage hazard and like King Bulblin in Brawl who blows up the bridge of eldin, they burn the bridge.
Uh, no they're not.Assist Trophies are also version unique:

Oh, sorry. My mistake.Those are regular trophies, the trophies that don't really matter.
That would be cool, maybe it plays when they appear, kind of like when Sephiroth is encountered that Hamburger Yum Yum, One Winged Angel song plays.Maybe their awesome theme music will play on that stage!!!
I think since Zelda got the TP redesign, Ganondorf will get the same.Awesome reveal today. I wonder if Ganon will resemble his Z64 self again when he is revealed? Link's look is based on Skyward Sword, but I heard Ganon wasn't in that game.
