What about actual dungeons?

 

[AGoodODST]

Bill, jump off the cliff and gliiiiiide!

 

[ramparter]

If it had towns we'd have seen them, ergo no towns.

- internet logic

 

[SuperSah]

People who believed this game would lack towns etc. are just being stupid at this point.

 

[Ricker]

What stream are you guys watching now?

[105.Will]

I feel like Bill is a 10 year old in a sand box. Like, every time he puts a marker 10,000 miles away someone goes in the mic "Bill, Please."

 

[Kansoku]

the towns were in our hearts all along

 

[Armoured Titan]

That's very reassuring to hear! The only thing that would make me feel at ease with this game is please let there be more than 4 dungeons. You don't even have to specify exactly how many there are but please say it's more than 4, and then I'm back on board fully.

 

[Prevolition]

Has it been discussed if the new item selection style points to scrollwheel shoulder buttons on the NX version? Why else would they switch it up?

 

[ratcliffja]

Aonuma's saying all the right things at least. I like that he's not afraid for the player to get lost.

 

[Mysterious]

There are towns, other characters to meet, a story they're avoiding spoiling, and dungeons in addition to 100+ shrines.


Pick something else to nitpick, haters.

So there's a story with cut-scenes, that just isn't in the E3 build? Great to hear, thanks.

 

[Mik317]

This is all apart of the Zelda 1 feel they seem to be going for.

not telling you shit...find it out on your own. Kinda hard to do that if they show everything.

 

[Revven]

What about actual dungeons?

They exist but we don't know, officially, how many.

 

[Disxo]

Want to play the original now haha

 

[Milly Osworth]

"No story during E3" is silly to me. You want to sell us on this game right?

 

[Raitaro]

How far along do you guys think this Wii U version is actually? It really seems far along to me and I sure hope they did not just delay this version to make the NX version seem more attractive. Did they mention if both versions will release simulteneously?

By the way: this latest footage and news about towns being in is making me come around to this game quite heavily. It does seem very extensive and open ended.

 

[Gino]

I love the throw a pile of wood and flint on the ground and then hit it with sword to make Magical fire-pit appear.

This game just looks FUN.

 

[Kinsei]

I guess going outside the plateau consist of standing on the edge and looking at what lies beyond haha.

I don;t get why they are so sensitive about spoilers. The story of Zelda has never been particularly interesting.

 

[Servbot24]

Boooo. No towns had me hyped.

 

[Dark Cloud]

I thought some said Nintendo is still catching up to doing towns in HD?

 

[PhazonBlazer]

Maybe there's an item that increases climbing speed

 

[PhoenixDawn]

"No story during E3" is silly to me. You want to sell us on this game right?

If what they've shown you so far hasn't sold you on the game I don't think they ever were going to be able to sell the game to you.

 

[Captain Smoker]

More screengrabs.

 

[Cuburt]

I almost feel like the towns comment deserves a thread at this point.

 

[Creamium]

So he's not going to leave the plateau is he? Just show stuff on the horizon...

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Damn refreshed the page too soon on gamespot. Someone asked about rupees. Are they still in?

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

"No story during E3" is silly to me. You want to sell us on this game right?

Damned if you do damned if you dont.

Besides they said they will go over that stuff on another date. Just not at E3

 

[Toparaman]

Eh, spoiler phobia has gotten silly. There's at least 9 months until the game is out, just show some story and a town. But I guess that would upset some folks.

 

[Eradicate]

I haven't seen the tunic. Is it in the game? If not, worst game of all time and Zelda is ruined.

(If anyone is playing the demo at E3, please just run off as fast as you can as link and check your map before your time is up and see how far you got!)

 

[SuperSah]

I like how soft the grass looks. It's a nice effect.

 

[Cyclical]

"No story during E3" is silly to me. You want to sell us on this game right?

Do people not understand how Nintendo operates by now?

It's about *gameplay*. It's always been about *gameplay*.

 

[Tenck]

I was wrong and happy that's the case. I don't want to hate this game so stop trying to act like that's the case.

You did yourself no favors by spreading lies. It's been quoted countless times that Aonuma said they're not showing towns to avoid spoilers. Then we have Bill reassuring people that there are towns.

And you're judging the difficulty of the beginner dungeons. That's kind of crazy in my opinion.

 

[antonz]

Maybe there's an item that increases climbing speed

There is a potion you can craft that gives a speed boost

 

[Coldnoodle]

Godammit Bill.

Get a horse D;

 

[RPGCrazied]

Have they said this would run in 1080p? I'm guessing not, XCX wasn't.

 

[Hazzuh]

I'd be OK with 4 dungeons if they were significantly larger than typical Zelda dungeons. Would be dope if there were dungeons that were super complicated because it might give them an opportunity to do something more creative and ambitious than in previous games.

 

[TheJoRu]

I could see there being a couple of towns in the game, and a main dungeon in the same area that is somehow "connected" to each respective town. When you first arrive there the town is just a ruin, or perhaps frozen in time in some fashion. When you complete the dungeon you restore the town to its former glory, allowing you to interact with NPCs and get new kinds of resources that will help you survive easier in other areas you might've had a hard time traversing previously, providing a sense of progression.

 

[Alebrije]

So he's not going to leave the plateau is he? Just show stuff on the horizon...

Just waiting to hear : do you see those twin peaks ?? You can go there

 

[Mortemis]

I almost feel like the towns comment deserves a thread at this point.

I haven't been keeping up with this thread, so why is this having towns a big deal?

Was it ever said it won't have it? Kinda weird for a Zelda game to not have towns. Do people think there are no dungeons too? Lol

 

[DecoReturns]

I guess going outside the plateau consist of standing on the edge and looking at what lies beyond haha.

I don;t get why they are so sensitive about spoilers. The story of Zelda has never been particularly interesting.

They literally told us why. For people like me that enjoyed the Zelda stories

 

[PhazonBlazer]

There is a potion you can craft that gives a speed boost

Good

 

[sphinx]

"No story during E3" is silly to me. You want to sell us on this game right?

if there's one thinge EVERY single (3D at least) zelda game has gotten right, it's story,

a nice story is a given, no need to use it as a selling point.

 

[John Kowalski]

sunrise at 4 30 am?

 

[Luigi87]

I almost feel like the towns comment deserves a thread at this point.

Mods already locked the other thread when it was debunked originally, so I wouldn't recommend it.

 

[linkboy]

What about actual dungeons?

They're not showing anything that deals with the plot.

 

[EndlessSky]

Damn refreshed the page too soon on gamespot. Someone asked about rupees. Are they still in?

Yeah, you can see the rupee counter on the start screen on the top right (Usually covered by the overlay camera though)

 

[Aaronrules380]

So he's not going to leave the plateau is he? Just show stuff on the horizon...

seems like it

 

[Eradicate]

Want to play the original now haha

Haha, me too!

Maybe you can play the original game as Link in this new game...using a sword controlled by magnetism of course!

 

[Kinsei]

Do people not understand how Nintendo operates by now?

It's about *gameplay*. It's always been about *gameplay*.

Towns and dungeons are part of the gameplay. For some people those are much more important than the overworld.

 

[GustyGardens]

Damn refreshed the page too soon on gamespot. Someone asked about rupees. Are they still in?

Yeah, they're in. They're mentioned in flavor text, and they also confirmed having the ability to sell items.
