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.

I don't think it's just the story but also the world that's out there. If they want to capture that Zelda 1 feeling, they have to not only limit story spoilers but also world spoilers so players can explore and discover the world on their own.

That's the philosophy behind this game. They want to capture that Zelda 1 experience where you start the game and you're let loose into the world to go anywhere you want!

And that's what makes me excited about this game, especially based on what Aonuma just said on stream. Exploration, going back to how things were structured in Zelda 1. Free from linearity!

 

[ffdgh]

This map is so dang big....

 

[Disxo]

Why did he end up sleeping 100 years?

 

[DecoyOctopus]

There you go. There are towns and people.

They already showed nps in the first Zelda trailer...I guess a lot of people already forgot about that:

 

[Meffer]

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!)

You actually obtain and wear various clothes and armor that have various effects and defense. I bet the tunic is something you have to make or find.

 

[Sou Da]

Who southeast plateau jumping here?

 

[Crayolan]

Where you jump off from the plateau changes where you'll be stuck going from there on out? That's awesome.

What about actual dungeons?

Dungeons were confirmed.

 

[Parshias7]

That bit about the plateau being the jumping off point was really cool.

 

[Alebrije]

This map is so dang big....

And what about the dungeons and underground stuff

 

[Ashodin]

Hyrule Herb eh?

Spoiler

420

 

[wishdom]

warp spot confirmed

 

[GODDAMN-ONI]

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

yeah probably. I personally heard it on sbf stream

 

[Uzumaki Goku]

Why did he end up sleeping 100 years?

Where did I miss that? Can anyone give a quick info dump?

 

[CharminUltra]

So you'll be able to choose in which order to tackle the areas beyond the plateau. Sweeeeeet.

 

[Like the hat?]

Who southeast plateau jumping here?

I'm going straight to lake Hylia

 

[Shaanyboi]

Why did he end up sleeping 100 years?

Because he's the Avatar!

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Link is Spiderman

 

[Unlucky]

We were promised to go off the plateau! Get to it Bill.

 

[Plum]

Just where you jump off this first place will give you an entirely different start to the game.

Everything they keep saying only makes this game sound better.

 

[weevles]

They did say this game is a different approach from other Zelda games....

 

[Nanashrew]

Kotaku has their hands on impression article up.

[Coldnoodle]

Pretty boring demo tbh...

 

[VanWinkle]

I'm really enjoying this.

 

[Glin]

Glide off from the plateau!!! Stop teasing!

 

[BKSmash]

The world is a lot bigger than what they've shown right?

Spoiler

day one on NX

 

[rhandino]

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

I found the stories of all the games and the little connections and references fascinating =/

 

[Ensirius]

Seriously,if the final game plays anything remotely similar to what I'm seeing right here this is going to be the best Zelda game ever.

Spoiler

after OoT

 

[TheMagician]

Pretty boring demo tbh...

They're just showing off the basics.

It's like having an N64 demo of Ocarina in 98 where you run around Hyrule field.

 

[brandonh83]

This game is huge. Holy shit.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

The gamespot stream looks so much better and who in the hell hasn't played a Zelda game?

 

[UnemployedVillain]

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

Welcome to Nintendo at E3 where if they don't explicitly state something people jump to crazy conclusions, or completely misconstrue it

Nintendo: Hey, we're focusing on exploration
Fans: What? There are NO NPCs or towns? WTF?

Nintendo: Here are a bunch of small shrines you can gain skills from.
Fans: What? There are no traditional dungeons?! Fuck you Nintendo!

 

[Crayolan]

We were promised to go off the plateau! Get to it Bill.

Glide off from the plateau!!! Stop teasing!

I think they're just gonna run around the perimeter and show give us glances at what's beyond. :S

The world is a lot bigger than what they've shown right?

Spoiler

day one on NX

The plateau is <2% of the world.

 

[PhazonBlazer]

I'm glad its simultaneously launching on Wii U and NX, otherwise I'd have to buy the game twice

 

[kizmah]

Sorry. Double post.

 

[Dark Cloud]

I'm so happy with this. Nintendo shows they've got everything it takes to make an amazing Zelda game.

 

[Cosmozone]

Those who miss the story shouldn't worry. There will be story trailers, just later. It's always been like this.

 

[zroid]

I hope the full archive is posted soon

I really want to watch it this evening

 

[Hazzuh]

From the Kotaku article:

the game is running on the Wii U at E3 but will also be available for Nintendo’s upcoming game platform NX, which launches next year. On Sunday, when a reporter asked if the games would differ, Aonuma said, “The users will be able to have the same experience in the NX version as they do with the Wii U version.”

 

[Omnicent]

man this game is going to be a speed-runners dream. Though I'd hate to be the guy to route this game. For instance I wonder if you can stand on chests?
If so you could possibly use the magnetic item to pull over a chest, jump to it to get more horizontal distance and glide or something.

Don't get me started on the stasis ability where you can store the force like with the boulder earlier. That has a lot of potential to break the game if you can get on the item/rock/etc before stasis is released (this will be the first thing I will try to do).

Arggghhhh! I need this NOW!

 

[crooked spin]

I'm almost 100% certain that Link's quest will be returning civilization to this "dead" Hyrule. Not sure if time travel is involved but everything seems to suggest this plotline to me.

 

[protomouse]

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

I'm pretty sure it'll run similarly to XCX on Wii U.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

I wish theyd say how many dungeons are in the game.

 

[bachikarn]

Bill just confirmed that other areas will have more enemies that are more challenging.

cool

 

[Huge Succeeded]

bet there's some people shook from the sight of a character walking along the side of a mountain in 2016 without sliding down the shit

me, I'm just reveling in the freedom

 

[EndlessSky]

Oh, they are showing beyond the plateau in a video trailer!

 

[RPGCrazied]

This Zelda fan is happy. I had high hopes it would look this good, Nintendo is not going to wreck the Zelda franchise.

Now just give us a release date.

 

[Kinsei]

I wish theyd say how many dungeons are in the game.

And how big and complicated they are. I don't want Link Between Worlds 2.0.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Oh, I didn't know Overwatch is a FPS.

 

[AjNimajwalHansel]

Bill just confirmed that other areas will have more enemies that are more challenging.

cool

Ha ha, sadly that needed to be confirmed for some people who assume if something isn't explicitly shown or stated that it doesn't exist ;p

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Link is dying, Bill.
