I can't tell from the video quality.Zero²;142131007 said:
They look like bokoblins straight out of TWW though. I'm really not a fan of the smaller enemies in Zelda. (Chuchus, bokoblins, keese) show me the big guys! Redeads, Stalfos, darknuts, moblins, lizafols! I love the more humanoid, intimidating enemies.
A giant peahat in this game would probably be scary too.
How do you sever a person's head with an arrow?

Neither, at least I think, as in the e3 image Link is facing north with the sun in a late evening almost about to transition into a sunset position. Here's what I think it is, and it is Hyrule.
to this.

Evil-possessed arm.
His arm is demonic/cursed.
Uh. Links outfit looks a lot like the guy's from Mononoke. White tights, blue tunic. Anyone know if that's a really significant feudal Japan era piece of attire?
Do yourself a favor and watch the movie

With science. And physics.
GameXplain's Attempt at making the quality as good as they can.
Dunno how it compares to other's attempts though.

I would probably tie the person up and just slowly cut through the neck with the arrow head.

I know what its is... I know what crying is too. Trust me lmaoIt's called speculation. Plenty of fans have called out things years before Nintendo says anything. Like Wolf Link and Fi being the Master Sword. Let the fans do their thing.

Has Link ever killed a person? I guess Ganondorf's a person.
There are plenty of people who take speculation a bit too far and move it into the 'hopes and desires' category, and they are the ones going to be disappointed when their wildest dreams don't come true. I've been playing the speculation game since alttp and i've learned to just appreciate the games for what they are and to not hope that my wildest dreams will come true. Just sit back and enjoy the game for what it is, not what you imagined it COULD be. That's what spawns the zelda cycle.
That said, this game is shaping up to be my wildest dreams come true
He never actually kills ganondorf. Even stabbing him in the head so hard that he turns to stone isn't... killing him. More like temporarily banishing him.
Something that immediately jumped out at me the minute I watched that was that the wind seemed to be set lower when compared to the E3 reveal. I'm guessing the that the wind is not necessarily dynamic but has differing intensities. So at a a more windy time the grass will move more, the trees will flow and that red flag to the right will blow with the wind. At least that's what I'm hoping, the wind and movement in everything in that reveal trailer really added to the world feeling alive.
bro you gotta watch Princess Mononoke
GOAT animated film... need to rewatch this soon
Such an amazing movie, my favorite Ghibli, and a Zelda style Princess Mononoke game would be the greatest thing ever!!

Be sure to pick up the blu-ray version that came out last month if you haven't already.
Off topic but where and for how much can I buy this?
Sakon...
>__>
And I guess ALttP and FSA Link went through a bunch of possessed soldiers. Not sure if that counts though.
Yea he was pretty athletic in SS too, glad they are keeping and expanding on that
The Epona is your sidekick and tells your where to go, did you not hear them say you dont have to control her lol
I think you're assuming my intent. :/
Yeah, I hope they keep that in. Link doesn't really need to be stiff.

Right on thats exactly how I feel. Even the spoiler part. I swear Zelda games are the definition of video game and this one is looking too baller right now.There are plenty of people who take speculation a bit too far and move it into the 'hopes and desires' category, and they are the ones going to be disappointed when their wildest dreams don't come true.

I'm a little disappointed in the new horse controls. For me simply controlling a character in 3d space is a lot of fun, assuming the game is from ead and features their typically sublime mechanics. But we jump on epona and simply watch her run? Just so i can occasionally fire an arrow? I dont understand that decision. Let me play the game instead of watching it play itself.
And, since we have gyro controls anyway, none of this seems necessary in the first place. Like yoshi in smg2, the motion controls allow both aiming and character control simultaneously. Considering that, we shouldn't need auto epona.

I assume they'll throw in random minibosses like the one from the E3 trailer. Just out of nowhere it'll hunt you down and chase after you. The world is big enough that you can actually run away for a while. The auto-horse-riding is great so you can shoot as you run away. It might help make travelling seem less onerous if you're chasing after or being chased by enemies for parts of it.
?? You fully control epona. They just added auto-horse (similar to the ship sailing on its own) so that you can shoot/look around, if you want to. Every time aonuma let go of the controls, epona stopped going as fast. You probably need to control her to go full speed, but if you stop controlling her, she doesn't just stand in place, she keeps moving on her own. They are in no way making this game forced autopilot.
Just compare epona to the wind waker ship, but with the ability to automatically dodge trees. It was probably necessary for travelling such large distances.
This again, pretty sure this was proven to be 1 poster on b3d speculating whether or not that's what happened as opposed to a set in stone fact or agreed opinion of b3d. Not saying that Zelda U will have perfect AA at that scale of course (Heck as i said earlier on the topic awhile back, i'd be pleasantly surprised if the game was at 1080p to begin with) but the whole "1440p downscaled" thing needs to stop being mentioned as fact.

Okay fine. Then I will continue to gush out "speculation"No im speculating

Zelda has so much Japanese folklore. From the kami to the Kitsune to the Kodama to the Oni.
And now with all the Mononoke talk, I wonder if this will be an extremely eastern flavored story.
Oh man, I think I need to rewarch some miyakazi stuff.
Link's a goody two shoes. <3 But I think he's killed a couple of people...
Twinrova - they were old anyways.
Ganondorf - In TP and TWW.
Sakon - it was a mistake...yeah.
Guards - in ALttP and FSA, but they were probably undead/fake?
It's always jarring when Link kills someone, I think that's why the ending to TWW was so badass.
Link to the gamespot video?

Are you serious? That's not what he said. He said she'll keep going in the direction you point while avoiding small obstacles (like trees).

Don't be so hard on yourself because that's exactly how it went down. Had it not been for this event we wouldn't have this footage. At least not until another Direct and I doubt even then.
I dunno. He doesn't seem to be touching the stick that much. Mainly to adjust the direction.
Thinking back to Oot and TP, you had to hit the A button to keep up your speed and you couldn't over do it or else you'd slow down. I'd rather they brought back that element (assuming they haven't) or just make pushing up on the stick (and hold it there, like normal link control), take epona up to top speed.
I'd just rather they emphasize character control while riding rather than arrow shooting which, gyro or not, i suspect is going to be a little wonky and hard to pull off. Hence the slow motion dismount.
Focus on speed and chasing or being chased while on the horse. Make me avoid my own trees for gods sakes. Imagine link trying to desperately catch up to a group of bandits, crashing through the brush and frantically maneuvering epona round trees and other obstacles. I think thats got a better chance of being engaging than calmly shooting arrows while epona casually rides along.
They better.
Sweet Jesus. @__@ what if this is like a hippy game where Link is close to nature and the evil industrial monsters come to kill off the land. I see can see it now.

You don't get as clean of IQ rendering at 1080p on a 1080 screen.
I said the 1440p res because that's the likely res it was downsampled from. Could be higher. It's not going to look anywhere near as clean was my point because it was internally rendered at a resolution WiiU isn't likely to hit. I'd wager it's going to be a 720p image on a bunch of 1080p screens. Which is going to muddy up the visuals.
They're working on it.
Yes there are
There is no downgrade.
It's a different scenery, they're just close so they share similarities.
Miyamoto said: "there is insect and animal life as well" (2:22), but you can't see it because of the compression.
Flowers (scene is just too fast and video quality too bad to see it):
The grass also is still mobile as you can see it sway lightly with the breeze based on literally the very first scene before Link goes to the cliff top
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0y4hv62YEw
as well as when he is killing those enemies after going past the dungeon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0y4hv62YEw#t=159
And once more as Link approaches the horses (Hardest one to spot)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0y4hv62YEw#t=224
In terms of atmospheric formations, i'm not sure what exactly you mean. Are you talking about the mist in the first scene from the E3 trailer? because that was clearly at a completely different time compared to this which if the time shown in the demo is accurate happened at 7pm as opposed to the E3 footage which correct me if im wrong looked like it was in the morning or at the latest early afternoon.
In regards to rock formations you can clearly see various ones during the gameplay demo as well.

Im not gonna lie. I would like that... alot
usually they have something up in a few hours for this one.. they are taking awhile I hope its good
So, E3 Link would be standing at the bottom center of the new map?
Also, I assumed Hyrule would be in the middle of the map (in the big chunk of land surrounded by the rivers)
That would make me feel terrible if I lose one at all.
