The demo itself has a timer on it which keeps people trapped within the one region. Nintendo has disabled it on their machine for the treehouse. So aonuma can take people anywhere he likes.

it might also be another build than the normal press demo entirely

 

[Brinbe]

this is the juicy shit.

 

[Velcro Fly]

i'm getting the wii u version

i already bought one console to play this game. i'm not buying another one.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Here we go!

 

[wishdom]

"Unfortunately", I think everyone will wait the NX version, which means "poor sale" but...this gorgeous game, man...this game!!

I might double-dip, if the NX is a good enough leap in terms of image quality.
There's no way I'm canceling my 45$CAD pre-order.

 

[Josh5890]

"Unfortunately", I think everyone will wait the NX version, which means "poor sale" (wii u) but...this gorgeous game, man...this game!!

I'd imagine there will be plenty of people double dipping for both copies.

Spoiler

i will probably be one of them

 

[EndlessSky]

It does seem like the map might extend on some of the edges.

 

[Kodaman]

damn this map is massive

 

[weevles]

I'd imagine there will be plenty of people double dipping for both copies.

Spoiler

Yeah, if anything I'll double dip. I don't feel like buying an NX just for this game and there's no info about NX yet.

 

[Altazor]

"there's more things to do... behind that red pin, too".

Oh my god. The scale.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Holy shit this game is bigger than XCX isnt it??

 

[Omnicent]

im getting X vibes, I need this game

 

[Effect]

So has YouTube's E3 channel just been streaming the Nintendo stream all day? Nothing else?

Not complaining but just something I noticed.

 

[ramparter]

Im getting Wii U version unless they release simultaneously and I'm able to purchase NX immediately.

 

[Huge Succeeded]

That mysterious hooded old man following you around is going to turn out be the exiled King of Hyrule or something isn't he?

After all that cryptic dialogue of his I'm totally convinced he's Old Link, from Wind Waker, the one who's not the 'Hero of Time'. Giving tips to the REAL 'Hero of Time'.

 

[Bony Manifesto]

Whoa, the regions on the map aren't self-contained? That's interesting.

 

[Ashodin]

DEATH MOUNTAIN CONFIRMED?

 

[Dark Cloud]

Is that the castle with the purple!

 

[GODDAMN-ONI]

It's so weird. I'm always up for new things in games but.. this isn't really new this is just Nintendo joining Ubisoft and Bethesda with open world gameplay. It looks empty and enemies are placed so close to each other it looks like an offline mmo. Apparently there is no towns in this game and all the dungeons so far seems to be ridiculous simplistic and stiff and boring

if this is your kind of game happy for you but holy shit been a while since I been sad for a game reveal.

 

[ramparter]

Holy shit this game is bigger than XCX isnt it??

At least we can safely say they actuall delayed it to work more on it and not just to time it with NX release.

 

[Vampirolol]

I'm getting the first version that comes out.

 

[Atrophis]

Wait that bottom right area is another zone?? Initially looked like there was only a zone below the Plateau.

 

[Creamium]

If the WiiU version somehow releases earlier, I'll get that, but otherwise I'm getting this for NX.

 

[SmackAttack]

This game. My goodness.

There's towns, they're not showing them since they tie to the plot.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Good outrun, Bill.

 

[mStudios]

Bill please leave the plateu

 

[Eradicate]

Here's the area of the map they've shown this entire time.



Here's a bit zoomed out.



Here's the entire (?) map.



so maybe it's not actually 1%, but it definitely is a very very small part of it.

Oh my...that is insane!

 

[User1608]

Same boat here!

 

[Unlucky]

So, Aonuma was answering a question/giving info and Bill stopped him?

 

[wishdom]

Hyrule Castle close-up :O

 

[Cosmozone]

This wall like structure is really cool.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I'm getting the first version that comes out.

It was confirmed today they will launch simultaneously

 

[RPGCrazied]

Has to be hyrule castle.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Heh towns comment

 

[Calvero]

Apparently there is no towns in this game and all the dungeons so far seems to be ridiculous simplistic and stiff and boring

do you have the sound on? those "dungeons" are shrines and are basically supplementary to the main dungeons. and the "no towns" bit is a misquote.

There's no towns in this demo. Aonuma was saying they are not showing any towns/villages because they are not going into story details to not spoil people.

Edit: Wow look at that Bill just repeated what I just said.

 

[Brinbe]

Damn... this game is really fucking massive.

 

[BorkBork]

Specific reason for no towns or characters for fear of spoilers. There are towns in the game.

 

[Captain Smoker]

BILL: THERE ARE TOWNS / PEOPLE

 

[Nickle]

Bill knows

 

[Formless]

TOWNS CONFIRMED SUCKAS

 

[mStudios]

Towns confirmed.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

THERE ARE TOWNS!

HALLELUJAH!

 

[sora87]

How long is left of this? It's getting late here

 

[GustyGardens]

There you go. There are towns and people.

 

[Caffeine]

towns hype

I'm not sure I follow. They've confirmed towns and we haven't seen any dungeons to my knowledge. I don't think the shrines are the same thing, are they? Besides they said these are intro shrines anyway

 

[Luigi87]

Ha, they're confirming towns right now because of how much that got out of hand.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Bill's been reading the internet. Good save on the towns there Bill.
