That was a deku leaf? I thought it was a cloak/sail thing like from Skyward Sword o3o

The sky and general palette continues to blow me away. It's so beautiful. The tall grass looks really nice too, more lush and fluid than the E3 teaser, at least from what I could see. Yes, there are parts that aren't great. It has a year of development left, what'd you expect?
I also dig the horse auto-pilot; good solution to keep things cinematic without sacrificing gameplay.

Zelda 64 was kind of barren as well, but that overworld was cool. You see, if you walk outside, you don't see hundreds of animals walking the earth all at once. Games that throw everything out there like that look unrealistic to me.
The way they've designed this seems more natural.

Link really needs his hat. He looks stupid without it.
it's almost like this game is a year a way and not yet optimized.
I saw that as well but certainly, some sacrifices like that will have to be made in order to maintain a rock solid framerate during gameplay wich is the most important.

Tell me why I know? I didn't say I did. I don't know, and neither do you. Period. You know the horse won't run into trees and you can jump off in slow motion, that's it. What makes you think they showed you content that was 100% in game? They didn't remove anything or skip over certain places?
Edit: lmao, that spell correction

It stood out as very unnecessary. Doesn't seem like something you'd use that often. Assuming there will be a gauge for use when on the horse? Just when jumping off is pointless.
Really looks like a tech demo right now. Pretty poor look at gameplay. Should have held off to show it next e3.
nah man. Nintendo does not know how to polish games. This will be the worst Zelda ever! EVER!

I'm not going to call it lifeless just yet because I don't know what vibe they're going after with this open world. A kind of isolated serene world that seems lifeless at the surface but contains a lot of history buried around you could very well be the entire point of this overworld. It could also just be NIntendo failing at open world design (again). Who knows.
Hype remains at whatever it was before this video.

I think it looked really awesome. Next is going to be insane if Zelda U, Xenoblade X, and Star Fox all make it out. And that's just Nintendo stuff!
People are hyping the potential finished product it will be next year, not necessarily just what it is right now.

People want to see real gameplay of games in development, then bitch about what games look like when they are in development. This is why we only ever get CG trailers.

meh, too much openworld, then again, people sure love those these days.
It was from SS. They actually said it too.

Star Fox probably isn't ready to be shown. Nintendo works in a weird way, game will look like shit. Then a few months later its god tier. They have been doing this longer than anyone.

It's interesting that there was an in game clock on the map screen. I hope that means that we'll have a full day/night cycle with NPC routines like Majora's Mask, that would be excellent!

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Because the game is not done and polished yet, simple as that, they usually never show zelda this early and for something thats not E3
Completely agree.
And please, if you are allowed to type "OMFG TAKE MY MONEY!" "HOLY SHIT HYPE."
Then don't use the whole game is in development excuse to answer to those who aren't finding much to be excited about. When people are basing it off the footage that was shown (much like the positive comments). They chose to represent the game in that way. As much as I love the series and Nintendo, I'm not giving them a pass for how boring this demo looked. Visually the art and animations seem great, though.
I just watched it again, and I feel that most of the "emptiness" complaints arise from them only showing off horse riding. If you look at the environments that they don't focus on, you will see that their is a lot of stuff to explore. We just need better video quality.

EAD Tokyo's games have been critically commended time and again . The 3D Zelda team has been making stinkier games for the past fifteen years. Totally not comparable.
talking about how you can move like deku leaf item.
People wanted to see Zelda so much, right?
So here you go, a little bone to hold us over.
I'm guessing there will be more enemies and stuff in the actual game since they kept cutting the footage at certain points and went to a specific area to fight an enemy that didn't even try to move towards Link.

I honestly think with the size of that map there will be a variety of areas that will have a variety of interactive objects. Maybe there are areas where lots of enemies spawn and dungeons are found.
Even in skyrim you can go several minutes without encountering anything of much consequence.

The grass looks really nice
I'll just copy my post from the TGA thread.
So yeah, I was quite disappointed about what was was shown and how it was shown.
Still my most wanted WiiU-game (with X), but sometimes I just can't understand the way Nintendo reveals games.

It's almost like we were asked what we thought of the presentation and not what the final product will be like.
I'd rather see some actual gameplay footage (like this, no matter how rough) over a cg trailer. I'm not gonna be playing cg. Even if the game isn't ready for showing, its fun to me to see more of a game that I want than for the creators to just go dark until E3 or something. That would also just make people's expectations go crazy.
It's almost like I know that and didn't think I needed to state the obvious.

Holy shit that map is huge. I was concerned that Nintendo was going to half-ass it on the scale, but that certainly does not seem to be the case.
Not particularly concerned about the amount of content in the overworld, but then again, I'm the type who absolutely loved sailing endlessly in Wind Waker.

I do appreciate how much effort they've put into the grass.
Looks all around impressive. Yes it's a little baron and yes we haven't seen much of the game itself outside of some of the field but what has been shown so far has most certainly impressed me. I am hoping that once we get a glimpse of some various locations, dungeons, story elements, etc things will come together as a remarkable product.
