Talking about the City in the Sky, do you think we will have a floating city this time around?
Maybe thats what that Thunderhead thing on the map is hiding xD

Maybe thats what that Thunderhead thing on the map is hiding xD
Just like Call of Duty Advanced Warfare uses the original Call of Duty 1 engine because they both have guns?
I know you probably meant "it probably" but what the hell happened?
My thumb are to big for this small phone
It's 5:00 somewhere.
Oh! I just remembered, GameXplain pointed out something that could be a rider. It could well be that npc's as well as animals roam the roads and countryside to give more life to the world.

I felt the need to correct this.
It's hard to see, unfortunately, but Demise is actually "fire" contained in an earthly vessel and his "hair" is it leaking out. You need a good shot of his back to see it. His eyes are the colour they are because they're the same thing--they're just holes that let you see inside.
I wish it had been communicated better, because it's one of the better elements of his design, given that he's an embodiment of destruction and all.
One thing that's stuck out to me is that in the reveal trailer the two herdsman on the far left and right both look like they're wearing more traditional Japanese garb, most especially the sugegasa, aka bamboo hats, which I don't think has ever really been present in a Zelda game before aside from maybe a one off character or two. So I wonder how that will fit into things.

Hopefully not. I'm tired of the musical instrument / dark world / alternate world /whatever gimmicks already.

Oh god I hope so. Let it be so.
I dont blame them for not releasing a full screen video, just gonna have people complaining about downgrade, textures, glitches, unfinished trees, framerate, is it true 1080p for a game thats a year away.
I'm starting to reach Twilight Princess reveal levels of hype. During which I actually jumped up and down excited over how huge the world seemed to be :lol.
Clearly a bounty hunter of some sort hunting for Link. The cloak has gotta count for something!
As stated above it's fanstuff. I think more specifically it's from the Chrimson Echoes romhack

Yeah, I'm going to have to stop reading this thread already. I haven't been this hyped and interested since Twilight Princess, and I'll know I'll just get disappointment.
We need an official Zelda Engine timeline

Looks to me like it borrows animations and models from TP and SS
shading and lighting effects from TWW HD
and control elements from both TP and TWW HD.
you are probsmaby correct.
love the potential contrast off all the blues and greens in the game (then in combo with the bright sun and cool sunsets)
That's what I was thinking. The terrain for both Skyrim and Oblivion look more robust and dense. I was kinda hoping this new Zelda would be in that vein; a Zelda game with the scope, depth and density of something like Skyrim, but with more action and added puzzle-dungeons. Instead, it looks like we're getting Ocarina in HD. Yawn.
Alright folks, which DLC is more likely? Zelda 1 styled Second Quest or OoT styled Master Quest?
Link : My steed, Epona, is a JUNKIE!

Zelda: You always have all the answers, Link! Well, what's your answer to THAT--?

Well I'm glad you could tell all that from the relatively short game awards gameplay video. Also Elder Scrolls games are giant RPGs, TLoZ isn't. At least wait to see what more the new Zelda has to offer than saying it isn't big like the buggy Bethesda games and then dismiss it.
If this game has an actual gimmick to it this time, i'd guess it hasn't been shown yet, and probably won't be until the next trailer. Every Major Zelda game has 2 tiers of trailers that each show us different things. Phase 1 shows us overall, general mechanics, visual style, etc. In this case, the open world, the emphasis on explorarion, and arrow focus. Phase 2 shows the game mechanic that is tied to the story, which we haven't seen yet.
Ocarina of Time:
Phase 1: Jump to 3D, 3D environments, aiming bow/arrow vertically also, instead of horizontally.
Phase 2: Child/Adult link, time travel, Ocarina songs, Epona.
Wind Waker:
Phase 1: Cel shaded graphics, dodge/counter mechanic
Phase 2: Sailing the ocean, using other weapons, etc.
Twilight Princess:
Phase 1: Big hyrule field, horse combat, dark theme with realistic (non-cel shaded) textures.
Phase 2: Wolf Link, Twilight enemies, Animal helpers, etc.
Skyward Sword:
Phase 1: Motion control sword (sword combat focus), bow, Running mechanic. Bomb bowling, beetle item.
Phase 2: Loftwings, Timeshift stones
A Link Between Worlds:
Phase 1: 3D with vertical dungeons, ALttp overworld/combat.
Phase 2: Shop mechanic, light/dark world.
Zelda Wii U:
Phase 1: Open world, multiple arrows, time-slow mechanic
Phase 2: ???
Skyward sword is a bit of an exception, but its intro trailer showed more than most zelda trailers do when they're first revealed. I mean, it showed like 5 items and how they work with motion control. Generally speaking, I don't think we've seen the 'REAL' twist/mechanic this game, and we probably won't until E3 this year.
I hope the gimmick in this Zelda game is that it's a good open world game. That's a good gimmick.

I was about to say something like this:
the gimmick should just be that it has a better open world.
Hopefully it's just the 'fast travel' mechanic that is somehow tied to the story.
We all know there are still mechanics left to be revealed, and some of those will be tied to the story. Hopefully it's nothing too obtrusive.

I don't even wanna respond to this "OMG SO EMPTY" nonsense anymore. Just try to ignore it.
Wall merge was in the reveal video.
Oops, you're right. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Nah. A good story gimmick is, "Link, you must adventure out to these dungeons to find these relics. But we have been isolated in castle town for hundreds of years no one knows what the surrounding world is like. You're on your own, we don't know how to help you find anything."
I was talking about gameplay gimmicks!
There will still be gameplay mechanics left to be revealed, and it's likely that those mechanics will be important to the story.
It could be a checkpoint system, it could be a fast travel system, it could be a mode of transportation, it could be a terrain traversal mechanic, it could be something that changes the world around you (light/dark world, past/future, seasons). It could be something that allows you so communicate/control animals. It could be something that enhances combat, which is necessary in the open world. It could be expanding upon what we've been shown (slow jump off epona, placing beacons, sailcloth, etc).
There will be something new, we just don't know what it is yet.
Also, watching that TP trailer without the Conan music is a little underwhelming.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
This is the first open-world Zelda. It hardly shares engines with any prior Zelda. If anything, it most likely shares a great deal of tech with XenobladeX.

An airship would be strange in Zelda. I just cant envision it. It would be like Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament....

you mean that thing that made people walk away from their consoles while the controller was tilted in a certain direction?
I wonder if we will still find rupee and hearts in the grass we cuts.
With all the grass this game have it's seem to much.
Would you like an auto regen in a Zelda game when no enemies around?
With enemies around you, you need to drink potions.
For the ruppe, we could only find it on enemies and chest.

"Fast travel" isn't new to Zelda games. It's been included since A Link to the Past in various forms. Most recently Skyward Sword had it in the form of the save status you could warp to after they were found an accessed. You have the broom in A Link Between Worlds.
When Anouma says Hyrule Warriors changed how he looked at things I have to wonder if we'll see some type of territory capturing in this new game. The world is vast enough that you can have enemies of various types trying to control different areas. He made a point to point out that things do happen in Hyrule Warriors regardless of you being present in that area. What if there are outpost that have to be captured and can be lost? Control over an area determines what appears there? Determines if you can access a dungeon or not? There are those flags and outpost in the gameplay footage. Why would you even need something like that if not to give them meaning? It would certainly give players a lot to do while traveling out in the world instead of the same old find heart pieces and cut grass. It could also not have to rely on the dungeons agains. Just as they had the challenge areas in ALBW. Just an idea.
It wouldn't be the first time a Zelda game required you to gain control over an area via an activity to unlock something. The locked rooms of course in dungeons as it's most simple The twilight battles as wolf link. Unlocking the dungeon doors
Thanks, its not like I didnt saw it already, and just choose not to waste another post on it.
Didn't say it's new, but it's often tied to the story in some way. Ocarina, Midna, Wind Waker, etc. That mechanic has yet to be revealed, and if I had to guess, it's tied to the story somehow.
