The music is really awful, and I hope it wasn't an indication of what we'll hear from the game.

I thought the music was amazing. To each his own, I guess.

 

[Whales]

looking real good


cant wait

 

[Phediuk]

Looked OK, kinda hard to see what the gameplay was like from this trailer though.

 

[silva1991]

Really underwhelmed with the graphics

I hope the NX version will look like the 2014 video with the same draw distance at least.

 

[Squall5042]

Day 1 for NX version

 

[sonto340]

I love Witcher 3. I love Zelda. There's no reason you can't enjoy both, but people tend to split everything into godly "beastmode best of all time" and "utter garbage".

The trailer was also a very short look at the game with large landscape shots that were meant to show off how large the game is without establishing what kind or how much content it contains, as well as brief segments of specific content (cutting down trees, shooting down beehives, different kinds of armor and combat maneuvers, different kinds of monsters).

I could splice together a trailer of Witcher 3 that makes it look utterly empty by just focusing on landscape shots. I could make Skyrim look like the most handcrafted content filled game ever by just focusing on a few segments of gameplay. To have any idea of the balance between size and content in Zelda, we have to see an extended playthrough, not an edited trailer.

I'm glad that they're spending the rest of the day playing it so we can see if this is a problem or not

 

[orioto]

It really feels (like i was worried of) that they just can't do what they want on WiiU... I'm really not sure why they kept that a WiiU project to begin with..

it still seems incredible anyway. But i mean .. they shouldn't have never mentioned the NX version i think.. You doesn't release your biggest game of the year like it's just screaming for your next console to arrive..

 

[Dominator]

I really hope this isn't as empty as it seems from the trailer.

This is my main issue with it. It just doesn't look like an interesting enough world. Time will tell but very disappointed so far.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

You realize it's the same game, right?

yes same game in the way TP was for gamecube and wii.

I just think it looks pretty bland and empty. anim felt too loose. NNK did the cell shading better as well. I was just expecting a lot more out of this trailer. Just didnt come across as AAA top quality that I have come to expect in this day and age.

 

[JTripper]

We're in the same boat. Nice trailer, but I don't see why some are "crying" over it.

it is a video game with the title "The Legend of Zelda"

Spoiler

(and I don't mean that in a "nintendo fans are babies way". Zelda is one of those special series).

 

[Palmer27]

Looks too much like the Last of Us.

Clickers and all.

Yeah, some of those landscape details are extremely similar to stuff you see in Xenoblade X.

Wonder if Monolith had a hand in this same as Skyward Sword - I would imagine getting this to run nicely on WiiU has been quite an undertaking.

 

[trixx]

Looks pretty empty and the colours washed out.

Yeah it does look empty off the trailer hopefully it isnt. This treehouse stream is pretty wack

 

[Jb]

It just looks so peaceful. i need more games like this in my life.

 

[Coffinhal]

Music is stunning.

The world looks so empty and barren though!

All games can't have the density of a GTA V, and don't need to have it, especially when the world wild is in the title

 

[Savinowned]

 

[maxiell]

Nice job of letting the art style cover up technical deficiences of the game and platform. Would like to see some different type themes, but maybe we'll get a hint of that today.

 

[ElectricKaibutsu]

The music is really awful, and I hope it wasn't an indication of what we'll hear from the game.

I've been replaying Twilight Princess... this music is God-tier in comparison.

 

[Hyperactivity]

It looks so much like ghibli, it's ridiculous

This was after link defeated one of the enemies. Weapon doesn't seem to disappear, so I'm thinking you can pick them up (like in Wind Waker)

Not to sure if the spear and polearm? are official items then

 

[Roo]

The "cool looking water" kid from Miiverse is going to love this

 

[Vampirolol]

The music managed to be instantly memorable and good.

 

[brau]

I thought the music was amazing. To each his own, I guess.

i liked everything about the trailer. Even the music was nice. It fit the style of the game this time around. But its also not very traditional Zelda.

 

[ViolentP]

I should be excited for this.

 

[Nocturnowl]

I'm having trouble putting this into words but it feels odd (and refreshing) to see a new 3D Zelda that doesn't appear as locked into that OoT style template.
And I don't mean the whole "3 dungeons, master sword, more dungeons" trope, I mean like when you play Skyward Sword and Link still has that rigid style of movement and traversal from 1998.

That said he still appears to climb slooowly.
Music was tops.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Looks very good. Wonder what a solid year of 7 months of more work will do it.

 

[vinnygambini]

I thought the music was amazing. To each his own, I guess.

Needs more wub wub

 

[Calm Mind]

I have a hard time believing this is running on the Wii U.

 

[wolflink]

I can see horns in the purplue shilouette at the castle

I can see a new fightning mechanics

People complaining about graphics, we knew that the graphics wont be at ps4 level.
That doesnt relly bothers me, for example dark souls 3 doesn have top graphics but compensates with top art direction.

 

[CCIE]

Pretty sure I'm going to need an NX now... damnit

 

[wild wild rice]

Regarding the emptiness, I'll wait to see soem gameplay before declaring that there ain't shit to do.

 

[Dragon1893]

This looks very nice.

 

[OricWindstar]

Link looks on in shock. Wearing white shirt. Already has bow, sword, and shiekah book

I'm thinking Link is a Shiekah in this game. Perhaps adopted by them.

 

[CassSept]

I'm really curious about that huge Starlord-like creature seen in one scene in the distance, whether it's a bigger enemy, or an overworld boss, or whatever.

 

[Social]

Honestly, I'm surprised people are so excited by this. A few gamelan mechanics aside, it just looked like a load of big, empty expanses of scenery with nothing bar a few rocks and trees in it. Combat was the same old Zelda stuff with the latest gimmick, environmental attacks, added as the cherry on top, the graphics look worse than the past trailers, and you can really see the limitations the WiiU hardware is putting on everything.

Frankly, I kind of found it all a bit boring.

I agree with this

 

[mario_O]

Graphics look outdated by today's standards, and the world looks kinda lifeless and empty. Hopefully the dungeons will be good.

 

[Astral Dog]

The screenshoots look really pretty to me😕

 

[KingBroly]

Ok I'm pretty sure Link's female this time

You can shop better than that.

 

[Milly Osworth]

The art style and setting do look amazing. It's a bummer Aonuma and his team have to work on old hardware though :/ Imagine how it could look with more FLOPS! Hopefully the NX version will help.

 

[Coffinhal]

I have a hard time believing this is running on the Wii U.

Looks close to GTA V on old-gen

 

[Shiggy]

Glad to see the person responsible for the tree design in Skyward Sword did not get fired.

 

[Chezzymann]

That music is so god damn good. Game looks good too, i think its supposed to be barren guys. There's not supposed to be a bunch of people walking around. Its the wild.

 

[God Dayumm]

Good, we can stop pretending like he's player avatar and not a real character with a real name/personality/desires/etc

Is the dream of Linkle dead? "/

 

[Memento]

Looks like a very bland open world game. Very empty.

But it is Zelda, I think it is going to be good. I hope at least...

 

[PSqueak]

I don't play Zelda games, but it seems really odd that they've decided to make Link a righty in this game. Wasn't he supposed to be the most famous southpaw in video games?

He's been right handed in the wii version of TP and Skyward sword at the very least, for motion control convenience.

 

[troy122333]

Love the art style of it. Can't wait to play it

 

[TyMiles2012]

I KNEW this trailer made me think of something in terms of style! Ghibli! I love it! I noticed you can parry and riposte like in Dark Souls. This is definitely going to be my first NX title! Though I only realized, we got Breath Of The Wild properly revealed, the only big thing left to reveal is NX itself. 2016 is flying!!

 

[Lunar15]

The american logo gives me hardcore ALTTP nostalgia with the vertical sword through the Z.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Ok I'm pretty sure Link's female this time

Yo look at the eyes, clearly female.

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Very Link to the Pastish

 

[Trogdor1123]

I hope that footage is of the wiiu version. Was nice but nothing special.

That being said, I'm pumped. Preordered this year's ago!

 

[AGoodODST]

Frame rate looks fine in the trailer.
