Agreed. I get the feeling that Aonuma has wanted this kind of shakeup for a while, but it just never panned out.
Breath of the Wild is the official subtitle for Zelda U/NX, first gameplay trailer

Very good to hear
Omg that kid with the upside down shades... I'm hunched over in tears at my desk...
OT: Looks beautiful. One day I pledge to buy an NX and play this with my first born.
By the way, is there any news on NX region locking or backwards compatibility?

It means that I see both the positive and negatives in a game and not just the negatives. It will have it's flaws but will be good fun regardless.

Here's my guess on how item acquisition and linearity works in the game:
Find and complete shrines to get Soul Spheres.
Spend soul spheres en masse to obtain "dungeon items" which are needed to gain access to and complete dungeons.
Dungeons can be completed in any order, but harder dungeons require more spheres to enter, suggesting to the player an order for the smoothest difficulty curve.
TLDR: Pretty much A Link Between Worlds, but instead of rupees, you spend soul spheres on Dungeon items.

No such thing exists.
Ok.
The conversation i was having, was about how they were handling the visual side of the over world, then you point out that the game also has positive elements. Ok, never claimed that Zelda didn't have any positive elements, but again, i don't see how it is relevant to what I was discussing.

Someone needs to make a gif of that part where Link is holding on to the very top of the Temple of Time and look around the massive map.

Good God what a beautiful logo.
Late to the party, but had to do it:
The last should should have been the hanglider into the shieldboarding clip, but nice work.

Speculating how much the E3 builds left out aside, they got months more to polish everything out.

I feel like the Master Sword should be the last part
but very good, otherwise.

So Jose Otero said he climbed up to the top of the Temple of Time and found a cool surprise up there. Anyone have a clue what it is?

Tingle.
There's a Korok up there. They are hidden all over the world.
That's really cool. I bet the world will feel even larger than Xenoblade because the movement speed isn't as fast and Epona doesn't cover as much ground as the Skells. Plus there will be a lot more to do within the world itself than Xenoblade with all the trials and dungeons, and we haven't seen what the towns and villages look like yet.

Nevermind, found the video, just a Korok. Still cool.

We don't know if all "regular" monsters do that little damage though, since this was the start of the game.
There were guardian enemies that did 5 hearts worth of damage, for example.

I saw a regular blue moblin one shot someone also, it's not limited to bosses or the guardians statues. I think only the starting enemies do a quarter of damage.

Looks like Rupees are still around.

Watched some of the gameplay, and the amount of pop-up was very disappointing. Not just barely noticeable stuff in the far distance either, but big boulders not far off 
You can't see the whole map in the demo though
The playable demo they played or the one from the treehouse? Because in the latter they didn't zoom all the way out
Possibly, although given that we have runes/skills being acquired in the shrines as well, perhaps it will be a mix of both.

I do remember at one point, I think it was with Bill - they did zoom out and show the whole map.

Graphics looks sweet but the land looks so empty. I am neutral on the subtitle for now.
Chateau romani for infinite
...Tho on the subject of magic, curious to know whether the wind waker styled great fairies/fairy queen will be around somewhere.

I'm getting flashbacks from the no man sky threads of "but what do you do?" With all those "barren fields" comments.
Are you referring to this? If so, then I don't think it is zoomed out all the way since the markers are outside the border areas and it would suggest that there is more land and borders
Looks like Rupees are still around.
Nice. I'm sure people will keep saying there's no rupees for a while though much like the no towns thing.
Did anyone ever mention what the voice tracking on the bottom right is for?

Stealth gauge or rather sound gage. Measures how much noise you make which can alert enemies. You can even crouch and sneak to reduce visibility and noise.

It's a noise level for stealth purposes.
It shows how much sound you are making, for sneaking up on enemy's you can also upgrade it to make you sneak better
Was there any horse back riding in the E3 demo, any links to that
Is it in game noise or actually picking up the mic?

Guys, this is just a fraction of it. People keep posting this, but look they scroll up for just a split second and you can see this is just a fuckin peninsula and there's a greater continent.

Where on the map is the E3 demo area? Anyone tried to find out?
