Has anyone noticed at the very, very end of the game, when you see the
recently brought back to life girl discover the baby in the pool......that
the baby has tiny horns? Look very closely, and there they are. Now, I've
read somewhere that Fumito Ueda has said SOTC is part of the same
"universe"
that Ico was set......but this end of game revelation has me thinking the
two are more linked than I first imagined. Could the baby 'Wanda'...be, in
fact, Ico himself?

I just wondered if; A: anyone else actually noticed the tiny horns
sprouting
from the baby's head (if I never happened to be sat as close as I was to
my
telly, which was close indeed, I doubt I'd have noticed them myself), or
B:
if so, what do you think is the significance of this....and indeed, do you
think there is a particular significance in relation to Ico.

Thanks. :)

see the post i made a while back when i completed it, i can't be arsed
re-typing my thought as i remember them being quite extensive and
rambling :)

I remember marking that thread with a warning at some point, as I had not
finished the game then - I'll try and hunt it down again now. :)

Rambling was you? You should be ashamed of yourself! ;)
