This sorta matches Horizon in some other aspects, while horizon seems to be going for an interspersed high intensity combat with much less engaging survival, Zelda seems to be going all out on Survival elements with varied combat. The question then becomes what is the decision making process for the player?

 

[Servbot24]

The people around here wanting "dark", "gritty", "mature" Zelda. Don't we have enough of this with RPGs? I want some colors, damnit, and I most certainly got it.

Really? I'm disappointed in the lack of color - it's all washed out. Witcher 3, Uncharted 4, etc are all far more bright and colorful.

 

[wild wild rice]

Taking some cues from Dark Souls i see.

-Ruined world

-multiple weapons and armors to equip

-No force tutorial that treats the player like an idiot (About time!)

-Enemy health bars when locking on to them

I'm really liking what i'm seeing. I just hope to god that the open world isn't ubisoft style and filled with boring filler content.

Even Ico/SotC. All the games inspired by Zelda seem to be inspiring Zelda now. This is a very good thing.

 

[espher]

Very pleasantly surprised with all of this, including the stuff in the trailer. I wasn't bothered by the sparseness of it all.

Might be the first console Zelda I dive into since LttP.

I feel like this and Horizon will scratch two different sides of the same itch for me.

 

[otakukidd]

Plot theory:

Spoiler

This Link is an aged young Link from another game.

My thoughts exactly

 

[dangeraaron10]

it's silly as fuck because this Zelda game seems more thematically mature than any Zelda game I've seen before

Absolutely. What do they want here? Zombies and brutal limb amputations? HBO melodrama? Softcore sex scenes? What is the mature and dark they want?

 

[Bulby]

Looks like game of the show for me

 

[hampig]

Glad they didn't give in to voice acting. Game looks great.

 

[brandonh83]

I'm so glad the subtitle isn't called "Sheikah Slate"

 

[Jarmel]

So was female link confirmed?

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Arsonist Bill Trinen is the best Nintendo has to give me and I'm fine with it.

 

[Numb]

Glad it's still on Wii U and don't need NX

 

[Servbot24]

I found the amount of dialogue in Skyward Sword to be kinda irritating honestly. They should either have voice acting, or they should limit the actual amount of dialogue, if they want Zelda to stay old-fashioned honestly.

I'm all in favor of keeping dialogue to a minimum.

 

[ReyVGM]

This is one rough-looking game. I guess it is what it is being on the Wii U and all, but it looks more dated than I imagined. Barren overworld and textures that can only described as smears.

Game still has 9 months left in development.

Every Nintendo game at E3 gets the same criticism, and a few months before release they show a new trailer and the game looks a lot better.

 

[Voliko]

Looked OK until I saw the climbing

 

[Tatsumi Oga]

Fucking hell....why is this not blowing me away? The very first reveal trailer sure did. While i really dig the new features and how RPG like it is, the world so far seems so empty and void of wild life, if that's the right wording. Where are the wild animals from the very first trailer? I think it showed sheep and deer?

Just animals that are there for the atmosphere or any other purpose. Maybe they will be added later on, but it feels so empty to me.

 

[Shang]

Glad they didn't give in to voice acting. Game looks great.

But they did, just not for every character. I imagine all story important segments will have speech.

 

[Toparaman]

Make sure you guys are watching on Twitch. Apparently the YouTube stream has frame rate problems.

 

[Yabberwocky]

The pacing is just so freakin' good, and I love the interactivity Link can have with the world. Also, explosions.

Arsonist Bill Trinen is the best Nintendo has to give me and I'm fine with it.

It was so beautiful.

 

[Maiar_m]

Love everything about this including the salt it's pouring in somes' veins. This is my dreamt up Zelda gameplay and I can't be more impatient to learn about the game's depth and story.

 

[heringer]

Honestly, the game blew me away. I think it looks amazing and I can't wait to play it. Will probably make me buy a NX, which I wasn't planning at all.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Glad they didn't give in to voice acting. Game looks great.

I'm assuming minor NPCs won't be voiced, but cutscenes and major story characters will be. I doubt they'd have VA JUST for the opening like that.

 

[Peterc]

The people around here wanting "dark", "gritty", "mature" Zelda. Don't we have enough of this with RPGs? I want some colors, damnit, and I most certainly got it.

Finally a game that beats every game on the e3.
It's just insane, it could be the best game ever made.
It has dark placed, but i don't really want the next x100 cinematic game that looks real, it will just be boring again.


About Emily

- no Voice act as we have seen, she said beside link, that every character would have voice acting.
- MAybe not showed yet, but you don't see anything about female link, doubt we would see it.


I decided to ignore all NX info from her.

 

[BorkBork]

Nature-themed open world exploration accompanied by ambient music.

So my jam.

 

[mikeGFG]

Incredible trailer

 

[timetokill]

Looks like they're drawing a lot of inspiration from Zelda 1, and for that THANK GOD.

 

[John Kowalski]

So was female link confirmed?

Yes, all females will be Link from now on.

 

[Jackshun]

Awesome trailer. Looks really amazing. I saw the playthrough and was not too excited but the trailer has such great atmosphere and gives us a big Zelda world we've all been wanting.

 

[Aters]

Loving what I'm seeing so far.

 

[Red]

Didn't Nintendo intend to have fire spread in long grass way back before A Link to the Past? Those guys never let ideas die, huh?

 

[Fancyarcher]

I'm all in favor of keeping dialogue to a minimum.

I can agree with that. Zelda is one of those series that shouldn't require a huge amount of dialogue anyway. I do like the addition of that guiding voice though. At least Nintendo is trying something different.

 

[wild wild rice]

Nature-themed open world exploration accompanied by ambient music.

So my jam.

The spiritual sequel to Tail of the Sun that we all deserve.

 

[Jonbo298]

Seems like Nintendo is borrowing from a lot of other games for this and I am not complaining. LoZ has needed a refresh and so far it's turning out well. I like the art style, it feels like a mix of Wind Waker and Skyward Sword.

 

[krossj]

Lots of wind waker which is great. Looks brilliant, really interested in seeing some dungeon stuff.

 

[Crom]

Still though. 'This Zelda will be so brand new!'

-Weapon durability
-Item stats
-Loot
-Crafting
-'Follow the point on your map'

Come the fuck on, you're playing catch up to a decade of open-world game design that you should have been at the forefront of with this series and you know it.

You have a point but other open world games still haven't caught up to Zelda dungeons. The dungeons in Zelda games are amazing and are what make the game. Compare the repetitive caves of an Elder Scrolls game to even the worst Zelda dungeon.

We don't have see that lot to be sure. And in the wild the animals are not everywhere. But with the fact that you can/have to hunt I guess there will be many animals.

 

[Luigiv]

It's not perfect but I'm liking most of what I'm seeing so far.

 

[papo]

I need this on NX. I really don't know why they are pushing it for the WiiU this late in the game. I love the WiuiU, but once they said it was also coming for the NX I instantly lost interest in thsi version.

It's Twilight Princess all over again, well with more time I think. why aren't they pushing the NX and this version for the NX?

The NX should come out with this Zelda game first or at least both at the same time and it also needs a wii sports NX and it will survive.

Bolded is probs whats giving me that empty world feeling i guess they were having performance issues still and decided to cut them for this demo ?

 

[cacildo]

FINALLY a wiiu game that is not about replaying the same level over and over until you get a gold medal or something

 

[SkyOdin]

I'm really excited for this game. The demonstration has me hyped. I like that they have decided to try a different direction, and I think it looks like it will turn out great.

 

[wolflink]

has it ended already???

 

[OrbitalBeard]

The combat encounter music is soooo good

 

[a harpy]

Come the fuck on, you're playing catch up to a decade of open-world game design that you should have been at the forefront of with this series and you know it.

The last game to do all that well was literally winning GOAT awards and has people saying it's the best game they've ever played.

 

[Zip_it007]

I really wish they would just upload the demo to the eShop and let us all experience it ourselves.

 

[TanookiTom]

I think this game would greatly benefit from a graphical upgrade with NX as I love the visual style. But better draw distances without any pop-ins (and no slow-downs) would do wonders for it.

I love how the game starts without much of a backstory and just let's you explore the world. Also loving the decaying world setting and the opening in this sci-fi kinda cave.

Not sure about the thousands of things to collect though. I hope there will be some kind of capacity limit otherwise it would become pretty meaningless.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Nature-themed open world exploration accompanied by ambient music.

So my jam.

Yep.

 

[Megawarrior]

Game still has 9 months left in development.

Every Nintendo game at E3 gets the same criticism, and a few months before release they show a new trailer and the game looks a lot better.

True but it'll be the NX version

 

[Intel_89]

Having voice acting is actually a plus in the way they've shown so far, there's a guiding voice that seems to lead the way instead of having to read text and forcing you to stand in place while you scroll through all of it.

 

[ioriyagami]

My favorite thing about Zelda games has always been exploration and this game promises that in spades. Now I hope we get a glimpse into a dungeon to confirm they still have my second favorite thing about Zelda games intact.
Also, this looks like a technical marvel, Let's not forget this is running in a WiiU. Comparing it with Witcher 3 is silly...
