The Cathedral could be the temple of time?
Alright everyone.
I have carefully analyzed the artwork.
Dark Red castle is most definitely Hyrule Castle/Town. That Church by the lake something new. Maybe Temple of Time/Goddess or equivalent. Zora's Domain might be a bit further north. Not sure that waterfall is connected or not, think the actual domain area, not proper, is about an inch to the left.
Sorry. It's intern season, blame them.

The bridge reminds me of Bridge of Eldin in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

It's a bit kneejerk at this point, who knows what the hell those things are.
Thought it was fan art at first but its official wow it gets better and better
AWWWWW YEAH EVEN THE NITPICKING IS STARTING WE HOME FAM
Or just warp points, basically, like the Weather Vanes from A Link Between Worlds. They don't have to "reveal" anything really.
Oh yeah, totally. I'm potentially open to whatever, that's just my first gut reaction after seeing those things.

Oooooh....speaking of gold, I'm already flipping out with what kind of preorder incentives they might have in store down the road. I loves me some collectibles. I'll gladly take a hard cover art book off their hands at a high price.
Some of you guys are taking Aonuma's words about Far Cry a bit too seriously. He just said that he was interested in the game and started playing it in his free time. He played Skyrim too and said that he wasn't taking inspiration from that. He also isn't the director of this game. Please relax.

Even if that's the purpose they serve, it doesn't outright mean that they're designing Zelda with all the mundane design philosophies that Ubisoft runs with.
I'm also not sure the overworld will be so big that it'll even need that sort of thing.

I don't know why I get so hyped and interested in Lake Hylia, but I do. Every time lol

Zelda is such an awesome series. Even a piece of artwork causes people to start worrying, because towers.
*hug*
It wouldn't be Zelda if we all didn't throw out hot takes. Hell, look at mine a few pages back

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Ancient Cistern proved water temples can be good, so

Link looks awesome. Not a fan of those blue dingdongs though.
Lanayru Province from TP is like my favorite area in any game, I adore water areas.

It's ripe for wondrous exploration!
It's so hard to tell when the rough brush stroke style makes it unfocused

Aonuma has said they're making the series more modern. If you're going to compete against Ubisoft open worlds, you have to beat them at their own game.
Could be a blue tiled roof for a building. Like the Lab or Fishing shop.

I've seen 4 of those blue stone pillars, looks like the idea of fast travel points isn't far off.

Dear lord that updated version...
Question to ponder: do we think that this is simply concept art that was made prior to production? The towers look quite a bit different and more tech-ey than they did in the VGA 2014 demo.
If this isn't concept art then do we think this is an artist taking a scene or section of the game and illustrating it? I'm not sure how this type of "official artwork" works, especially from Nintendo. So basically, can we expect the layout of the world to actually look like this or is it more or less a concept?
I myself think that the artist knows that each structure we see is actually there in the game, so I would say this art somewhat represents the game world, but I'm interested to see if anyone knows anything about how this type of art is made.

Comparing the artificiality of that version's area to the artwork... I really hope the Wii U-level graphics will deliver and it's not all polygonal and pixelly.

Also enjoyed the water places in Skyward, the colorful art direction really made them gorgeous. God if they don't remaster that game I will throw a temper tantrum.
Lake Floria theme is puuurrrty
Hopefully more modern means Danny DeVito as the voice of Zelda
Could very well be a trace or rendition of an actual screen shot of the game.
Like I pointed out in the last page. The position of locations matches up extremely well with the map we saw at the Game Award demo.
Hard to tell though.
Just noticed the house with the smokestack in that bottom left corner. Man, all this detail, even with the rough design! InSANE.
