I'm very excited to hunt these ducks and craft them into duck armour.

And that water looks great.

 

[Mr Git]

This looks absolutely incredible. Can Link climb on any surface then? That rock climbing looked pretty steep. Cannot wait.

 

[Astral Dog]

I find it kinda funny how the last 2 console Zeldas have had a part of their subtitle contain a word from the most popular open world adventure games of their time (Sky/Wild).

Wild?

 

[Yabberwocky]

I would be SHOCKED if they didn't use motion to control cooking as well. I almost guarantee you use the GamePad to flip the food in that bowl, and probably look at the food/turn it on the GamePad screen.

Oh, god. I can now fail at flipping food in a video game just as well as I do in my day-to-day life.

 

[DarkTom]

Haha bravo !

 

[Liha]

The game looks so good OMG

 

[The Pope]

Guys relax. Link is probaly eating human flesh.

 

[IronicSonic]

NX controller confirmed.

Pls dont

I've been a Legond of Zelda fan since I played the original as a kid in 1990 and it's my favorite series, but I just don't get the whole "I'm crying". I'm not trying to judge or anything, I just don't get it.

I'll be completely honest. I teared up at the trailer. Zelda is a very important part of my life. The first game in particular.

Video games wouldn't be a hobby of mine if it weren't for that game.

 

[Peltz]

I don't mind it at all. My favourite open world game is SotC precisely because of the "emptiness" which in fact isn't emptiness at all, it's called focus. Focus in important things. Modern open world games are full of useless filler in both the game world and game systems. Keep that as far away from zelda as possible.

Agreed. Nintendo has the Xeboblade series to scratch that itch.

I like the purity of what we saw.

 

[TylerD]

I'm on blackout for this game, do the textures look better than the Game Awards footage?

Maybe yes maybe no. Didn't see the Game Awards footage.

 

[maxcriden]

What is with you and hunting? That's seriously a deal breaker for an entire game?

I mean, I don't play any games where you shoot people or animals, so...it's a big surprise to me and I'm trying to figure out how I feel about it. I love Zelda but I'm not keen on this development so I'm trying to parse out the cognitive dissonance.

Posted some thoughts on it here:

http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1233431

So I don't know if it's a deal breaker. My gut feeling says yes. The thought of it is uncomfortable to me. Your response reads as bit harsh. Everyone has their own hang-ups, whether easily explainable or easily understood or not. I respect that it doesn't bother you, please show me the same courtesy.

To clarify, I meant a hunting sim with a gun, not a bow and arrow.

Ah, I see. Up in Vermont bow hunting was still pretty popular.

 

[Zero²]

I cannot stop listening to that theme. Damn!

Yeah, please help me.

 

[Not]

BOOOOO at voices. Gonna be so bad.

You don't think Nintendo's gonna go all out for that shizzz? This their flagship game.

I bet there's a "classic" mode where you can turn them off anyhow

 

[Pinky]

Anyone else think this thing:

looks like this thing?

 

[victreeb3l]

Music gives me goosebumps. So good ;_;

 

[WrenchNinja]

Wild?

Wild Hunt

 

[War Eagle]

Soooo did anyone point out Ganon at 2:03 yet?

Screen shot?

 

[Kouriozan]

I like the hate/disappoint post : )

Wouldn't be a Zelda thread without it, the good news is that in 5/6 years it'll be the best Zelda ever, with that famous cycle.

 

[Matbtz]

looked good, but really empty.

I don't see why some ppl felt it was empty... They showed us the nature, that was the all purpose of the trailer. They didn't showed us towns, dungeons etc... Is Nature looks too empty for you ? I don't get it

 

[ErrorMacro]

High Quality Gif.

The last part, with the jump attack, seems to indicate there is a command jump :O

 

[Neiteio]

the trailer on the official YouTube page doesnt look nearly as choppy/washed out as Nintendo's crappy stream

I'm glad you pointed this out. The stream looked rough, but the proper upload looks good.

 

[Huge Succeeded]

What i see is that Nintendo made link a fkin millenial. (joke)

it's cool that you clarified you were joking because people are becoming really fucking vapid around here lately. surprised nobody's called link a 'douchebag with a punchable face' yet

 

[Infernostew]

A little disappointed with the trailer. World looks massive and like most Zelda games, there seems to be a ton of different terrain and climates to explore. Holy hell do those animations look janky... hopefully they a iron some stuff out before release.

 

[NimbusD]

Ugh so many little things I missed. YOU GET TO FIGHT WITH A POLE!?!? COOL

Great opening the trailer with VO, I thought more people would freak out about there finally being VO.

 

[Pilgrimzero]

OoT mode all audio dialogue is changed to "Hey! Listen!"

 

[RootCause]

I'll miss lifting my sword for power.

 

[randomengine]

I like the hate/disappoint post : )

It doesn't matter if the new Zelda doesn't look like Until Dawn or Uncharted 4. What matters is how it compares to the previous Zelda.

 

[HeySeuss]

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild OT: BoW Down to Ur King

 

[udivision]

Uh... they need to stop screwing up the moblin/goblin design.

I don't get why it's so hard for them.

 

[hampig]

Can't believe people are calling this ugly. Really loving the look of it.

 

[Insane Metal]

Looks good I guess

 

[dangeraaron10]

I see a lot of people complaining about the world being empty.

It's the wild. It's not supposed to be GTA or Assassin's Creed with icons littering the map. Shadow of the Colossus had NO enemies or shit to do between bosses except solving the environment itself to reach them and that game was celebrated. It's basically Zelda+Shadow of the Colossus (with bits of environmental manipulation, and even gliding).

I'm pumped for this game.

 

[DoubleYou]

I cannot stop listening to that theme. Damn!

It's so good.

 

[Boney]

seems like they're completely dropping the idea of puzzle zelda in order to go all out with the adventuring aspect. If tranversal is fun by itself the game could be glorious, and at the very least, seems like there's a ton of tools to help out with that. Sense of scale and look of the game is jaw dropping though, glad to see new weapons and how fluid it looks.

Seems like this could reinvent what action adventure means as a genre, provided there's a constant stream of tools that allow you to further explore in all directions.

Was this running on Wii U or did they not say anything? And I wonder if they're still planning some multiplayer elements like they teased very early in the design concept phase.

 

[jblank83]

Don't get me wrong I'm excited for the game but the music for the trailer was disappointing

You're crazy, imo, respectfully

 

[And_Gignac]

I love the "emptiness that fills everything" vibe. The less humans, cities, etc, the better.

And the art style, ugh. Just beyond gorgeous. Poor photorealistic games, they just cant win.

 

[Alienous]

I'm going to be humming that theme to my grave.

 

[140.85]

Graphically, it's pretty "blah" for me. Compared to a lot of the similar games we've gotten this gen. Some of the gameplay elements teased could be a nice change for Zelda game. But again, I think I've experienced these things in other games, and far more beautiful ones in my opinion. Not very impressed.

 

[Gorilla Shark]

I think that's the best trailer I've ever seen.

Gives me the same feeling as the first time I saw Mario 64 being played at those Blockbuster demo kiosks.

Can't come soon enough.

 

[Sulik2]

Art style is gorgeous, world looks empty though. The environment interactions looked neat, hopefully they aren't just gimmicky.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Changed my mind. Set during the ERA of Chaos. After Skyward Sword but before everything else.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Ugh so many little things I missed. YOU GET TO FIGHT WITH A POLE!?!? COOL

Great opening the trailer with VO, I thought more people would freak out about there finally being VO.

You could use enemy weapons in Wind Waker. Sometimes they were Spears.

 

[Garlador]

Don't get me wrong I'm excited for the game but the music for the trailer was disappointing

Lol. Best part for me. Sounded gorgeous. Gave me big Princess Mononoke vibes.

 

[Creamium]

Can't get over that jarring cut midway in the trailer. How that was kept in the vid I have no idea.

As for the reveal: looks pretty good so far, but I can't wait to see more in a bit.

 

[Silent_Ocarina]

The last part, with the jump attack, seems to indicate there is a command jump :O

Nah, you could do a small hop forward followed by a jump attack in Skyward Sword as well.

 

[wapplew]

Love the world already!
Game of the show!

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

The last part, with the jump attack, seems to indicate there is a command jump :O

Yeah he fuckin double jumped

 

[DekuLink]

Another axman behind the tree left of the one link fell.

 

[balgajo]

Wth with you guys saying that the music is bad?
Diversity is a thing, for sure....XD
