Isn't Link, like, 14?

 

[StarlordDial]

Audrey looking great as always !

Remembered her from her days at IGN ^_^

 

[Plum]

Shirtless runs confirmed entirely possible then.

 

[Kangi]

Her priorities are correct. Why leave Link with a shirt on?

 

[skypunch]

What? I'm complimenting the game.

What I'm implying is that n this Zelda there is so much to do even without making progress vs other open world games where there isn't a lot to do outside of quests and side missions.

The side quests and side missions is what counts as stuff to do while not forwarding the main story. Honestly mate, it sounds like you need to play more open world games. Last night I spent countless hours doing wicked side quests in Witcher 3, playing Gwent, renovating my house, exploring, finding notes in enemy camps that added lore to the world and locations, upgrading my characters skills and abilities._. and so on. You're not doing much else in Zelda except for cooking, exploring, killing enemies and clearing mini-dungeons.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

Stuff to do. But for what? What's the need for cooking and collecting? I don't see it so far.

Are you watching? They allow you to get heart containers, temporary stat upgrades, temporary resistance to different elements, and probably lots of other things. How can you not see any purpose?! Are you watching the stream? She's practically able to enter areas that he'd normally need equipment for early by create spicy potions that give her cold resistance

 

[NimbusD]

I'm a little behind on the stream, had to actually do work .

Just saw link collect a butterfly by walking into it... ugh I actually like using nets and shit like that in zelda.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Stuff to do. But for what? What's the need for cooking and collecting? I don't see it so far.

It's how you heal and get buffs like cold resistance.

 

[Firemind]

We Conan the Barbarian now

 

[AGoodODST]

Lmao.

 

[HowZatOZ]

Watching canned cooking animations isn't my idea of fun.

Then why are you in here? Its clear the gane isn't for you then, why bash your head against the wall in hopes it somehow changes because of your head bashing?

 

[Luigi87]

Isn't Link, like, 14?

His known ages have ranged from around 10~17.

 

[MistressMoitie]

"I almost made a grave mistake. I have no idea why Link is wearing a shirt right now" *removes shirt*

stream owns

My personal favorite part so far.

 

[Ricker]

Next item will swap your gender. Trust me.

Ah so thats why the guy at IGN was saying she...

 

[DecoReturns]

Move over Shulk

 

[weevles]

cooking = healing/alchemy

 

[Aaronrules380]

It's how you heal and get buffs like cold resistance.

you can also get cold resistance from armor

 

[TrueBlue]

Then why are you in here? Its clear the gane isn't for you then, why bash your head against the wall in hopes it somehow changes because of your head bashing?

Relax.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Lmao I love Hylian Heat

 

[Exotoro]

my only complaint so far is i need more enemy variety

 

[Shaanyboi]

We Conan the Barbarian now

Make him nude, call in Wolf Link and call it a Beastmaster game

 

[Matbtz]

I really dislike the idea of fire arrows being treated like green rupees.

Aonuma said you will sell your goods to gain rupees and then you can buy whatever you want with it

 

[Paradicia]

Is the new Nintendo expected to be announced?

 

[Kinsei]

Then why are you in here? Its clear the gane isn't for you then, why bash your head against the wall in hopes it somehow changes because of your head bashing?

I like almost every Zelda game. I'm hoping they'll show something I'll like.

 

[MiamiWesker]

Red and blue enemies are back!!!!!!!!!

 

[Aaronrules380]

my only complaint so far is i need more enemy variety

I mean, it's the super early area only so far

 

[Brinbe]

LOL LINK GOBBLING UP ALL THAT STEAK

THIS GAME OWNS

 

[EndlessSky]

So not wearing clothes is a good way to up the difficulty of the game. I like it.

 

[Beats]

That blue goblin enemy took out a ton of health with one swing lol.

 

[Sianos]

powerful enemies wandering around in areas geographically close to the beginning of the game

yessssssss

 

[linkboy]

my only complaint so far is i need more enemy variety

We've seen like 1% of the game.

 

[Hazzuh]

Nice to see enemy damage output isn't super low in this too.

 

[Calm Mind]

GameXplain's analysis machine must have melted today.

They've talked for like half an hour over that 4 second clip from earlier this year. They are going to need to release like a Ken Burns multi-volume documentary to cover all the details we got today

 

[John Kowalski]

what perverts

 

[TangerineCloud]

Audrey's commentary is killing me. That shirtless Link lust.

 

[Exile20]

my only complaint so far is i need more enemy variety

We are seeing 1% of the game

 

[Shaanyboi]

Is the new Nintendo expected to be announced?

No. They confirmed it wouldn't.

 

[Throwaway123456789]

Stuff to do. But for what? What's the need for cooking and collecting? I don't see it so far.

That's like saying "what's the point in health potions?!?"

 

[DarthButcher]

Old Man (Daphne?) is back!

 

[Real Hero]

my only complaint so far is i need more enemy variety

they said the enemies are basically different in each location

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

For a legendary fighter Link is pretty skinny.

 

[MANGOD]

I kinda wish your health refill could be done in real time. Being able to pause and refill is to cheap these days

 

[Plum]

Meeting NPCs randomly out on the adventure. So damn good.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

This is still going?

 

[JB2448]

The attention to detail in this game is absolutely insane, even considering how long the development period has been.

 

[Not]

Holy shit the NPCs actually get scared when you pull out a bomb

What happens when you hit them with your sword

 

[atbigelow]

Audrey is the best. HYLIAN HEAT

 

[Eradicate]

Fun

Best answer! Besides, everything shown does serve a purpose in the game and it certainly seems to have been spelled out and demonstrated, even without sound like how I was watching it!

I don't think it uses the gamepad really at all, or at least not that they've said. You can play the entire game using a pro controller, so there certainly can't be any gamepad dependent features. That suggests to me that the NX probably doesn't heavily feature a 2nd screen like the Wii U does.

Thank you very much for the response! I hadn't seen anything said about it yet but I'm sure I just missed it in the sea of responses! It's certainly nice being able to use another controller like that! I also guess with all the UI elements (unless many are there for demo purposes) that may be another thing to think about too, but I agree with you!

 

[HowZatOZ]

Holy shit that view. Beautiful.

He was stuck in a stasis pod for a while.
