Nintendo is still king of pure game play. This is just so much more interactive than other open worlds.

 

[Plum]

That ragdoll down the hill.

Seeing a Nintendo game with actual physics is so goddamn strange.

 

[Brinbe]

The best thing ever is allowing these guys and gals to just freely play the game and occasionally fuck up and make mistakes.

That physics is hilarious

 

[Not]

THAT fucking Steppe Talus fight

Shadow of Colossus vibes even more

And you just wander into him!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[mStudios]

Wow extra hearts by eating stuffs

 

[iFirez]

Ha, that needs a gif

Totally. It was sweet, more of Link exploding please.

 

[udivision]

This looks like the kind of game where you could spend 10 hours and not actually advance the plot.

 

[Revven]

Yeah and people complained this would be too easy. After seeing that and the Guardian I don't think I'm concerned about difficulty at all. Weakling moblins that have always been in the series are not indicative of the game's difficulty.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Are heartpieces and containers not a thing anymore?

 

[Shadax the wizard]

Wow extra hearts by eating stuffs

He popped that Notch apple!

 

[Not]

Wow it's so crazy you can actually see a boss's health in a Zelda game

 

[VendettaRed07]

This looks like the kind of game where you could spend 10 hours and not actually advance the plot.

They've pretty much just done exactly that

 

[OricWindstar]

Heart pieces aren't. Containers remain to be seen.

 

[KooopaKid]

All I see is aimless wandering around
Where are the worthwhile secrets?

 

[TheKingOfSheep]

What are the chances this one has some OoT style time travel mechanics? Has anyone picked up any clues on this perhaps? Also, while Bill was playing he wandered around near the runes of The Temple of Time and it was mentioned, while he was near the entrance, with the two fossilized sentries lying around, that these were alive in the trailer.

Has anyone got clues to what sort of gameplay mechanic (for instance OoT time travel or TP shadow realm) might bring about changes to this world?

And when can we expect a firm release date? (I just can't believe Nintendo not dropping this during holiday season, right?)

 

[Captain Smoker]

Random screengrabs from the stream.

 

[Ashodin]

They're purposefully not spoiling much.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Everyone in Treehouse is pyro now.

 

[TrueBlue]

Cool, you take damage through the physics. Not just the initial explosion but the subsequent rolling down the slope.

 

[Meffer]

Are heartpieces and containers not a thing anymore?

I think they still are but if you're resourceful you have a buffer of extra hearts.

 

[Ricker]

8 Bit food

 

[kuroneko0509]

temperature drop during night wow

 

[DecoReturns]

The only nitpick I have its Healthbars for enemies.

 

[weevles]

pig outta nowhere

 

[Octavianus]

I want to have one of those sheikah tshirts.

 

[Revven]

They're not spoiling any story elements, ergo no big dungeons or towns in this demo. You missed some shrines (mini-dungeons) earlier, though.

 

[Not]

It's a demo

 

[rhandino]

Temperature drop at nightime making night exploration harder. Shot

 

[Oblivion]

The guardian battle music is HORRID. :/

 

[Woffls]

Think that dude just said you could sequence break by doing things like equipping cold resistance? Was expecting it, but it's great to hear.

 

[Kinsei]

This world seems so bland like TP. Where are the travelers and secrets?

 

[MCN]

They're secret.

No, but I thought the same thing when Bill mentioned that. The comment about towns being held back from the demo because they're plot related makes me think they may be tied to a time travel or alternate reality mechanic. Like, you find the ruins of towns and visit them in the past through some technology.

 

[evangd007]

Stone monster!!!!

Go for its vulnerable spots! Can you build a rudimentary lathe?

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

The fog effect is a major KEY

 

[Vampirolol]

They are actively avoiding them, even though the game seems designed to make anything worthwile.

 

[kunonabi]

Yep. After spending 400 hours with MGSV, and currently being in love with Xenoblade X I can say that I'm totally ecstatic to have another game like that to look forward to.

 

[Cosmozone]

That boss was like Tardus from Metroid Prime. Somewhat resembling name, too.
I'm really impressed with the animations and physics in the game. They don't feel floaty at all.

 

[Nibel]

This game is insane

They absolutely won't. Earliest is March 2017 along with the NX launch version. I imagine we'll know the release dates of both later this year when the NX reveal happens.

 

[Brinbe]

They've shown a bit of that off in previous streams, going behind waterfalls/bombing random cliffs to find chests.

 

[Flare]

I'm leaning this way as well. After all, those huge guardian beamos things have to be able to move somehow.

 

[KooopaKid]

No I saw them but they were not hidden.

 

[Milly Osworth]

Nintendo is still king of pure game play. This is just so much more interactive than other open worlds.

Yeah, it all flows so well. Its like a harmony.

While games like Witcher feel stiff.

 

[Ricker]

Yeah,will there be a Journal with Quests per say or just exploration and hope for the best...? maybe in towns I guess...

 

[Kevtones]

Breakable weapons do a critical hit when they're critically damaged and thrown. Another brilliant touch.

 

[HowZatOZ]

Fuck me this looks good. They capitalised on that open world feel and just nade it ten times better. Can not wait.

 

[Revven]

This world seems so bland like TP. Where are the travelers and secrets?

Uh, they're not showing them because they do not want to spoil any story elements. Those aspects of the game are not in this demo.

And secrets wouldn't be secrets if they showed them...?

enemies so smart lol.
