The animation change is interesting. I think i prefer the new less expressive one.
Breath of the Wild is the official subtitle for Zelda U/NX, first gameplay trailer

Yup.
Also, you're not watching pre-rendered cutscenes. Fog will always look different. The animation is the only difference and that's just a random thing most likely. He's still animating, just more subdued.

I like this idea for it and really hope that is the case with a lot of the animations. That there might be special "first time" animations for things but then not again because link has gotten use to it, instead of looking goofy/surprised every time it happens. I doubt there would be that much thought put into it but I can hope.

Thought I put an example in there, but I ended up deleting it and not changing the last sentence that references it.
-Like kick enough chests without shoes on and you stop stubbing you toe.
Regardless, a one time character animation to an event that will happen a lot that shows character progression is going above and beyond what I would expect. It seems more likely that it would be a random animation or that the animation has been changed, but hope springs eternal.
Also, how exactly am I suppose to answer that question? No it is not? I guess it was rhetorical...

Neat, they showed off some footage of the runes again https://twitter.com/NintendoEurope/status/767753824345939968

Oh man. Didn't think of the barrel thing. So many possibilities, unnnghhh.
That barrel part was great. Don't think I've seen a video in which someone makes that work.

I would have expected it to explode when the time unfroze 
Yeah, I also want to know what is the instrument this time around. Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess' were a bit disappointing.

The reason why they explode in normal play is that the sword strikes through the barrel and the impact generates a spark that ignites the gunpowder inside.
This doesn't happen with Kinesis because the built-up power is translated to kinetic force, not an impact force that produces a spark.

Everything points to there being no instrument. ALBW didn't have one either. Unless you count the bell. Might as well not have had one
New video posted on twitter: https://amp.twimg.com/v/5325b254-ee56-430c-acc6-49a9664e7106
Shows off weapons.

Nice! And, hopefully we get some truly new footage very soon. Since Nintendo said they'd share more later this summer.
mmm...that claymore
Claymore stays best.
It's probably gonna change per areas.
Also, goddamn that shockwave on the last hit of the Claymore spin attack actually as a massive hitbox. It's like Dark Souls, except Link is the boss.
Weird Nintendo went silent with BotW after E3 for a full month or so and now they are talking about it again with this videos, even if it's nothing new. Hope this is the sign of new info coming. Can't believe we're still so damn far away of being able to play this : /
On the NX reveal event for example! Sigh

Yeah, I think the next info batch will come with the NX reveal. God knows when that will happen, though.

All those people asking for Zelda to take inspiration from Dark Souls got their wish!
Still nervous about the weapon durability aspect in this game... if the claymore makes you feel super powerful but degrades quickly I feel like I'll end up saving it forever and never using it.
I came across this video analysing the music in Breath of the Wild. Very interesting stuff in there.
Thanks. As someone who knows nothing about music theory, this is an interesting analysis.

This is a phenomenal video! Very clear in what he is talking about. That hidden Lon Lon Ranch theme is interesting... Thanks for this!

That was really informative. I feel, generally, one of the things that makes music in Nintendo games so great is that it treads the line between nostalgia, catchiness and being thematically appropriate.
Although my biggest takeaway from that video was realising the opening notes in the BOTW trailer mirror those in the OOT title screen. So obvious now.

I thought that was covered here before somewhere either in a post or another video comparison (nothing of the depth of this one, of course).
That is an amazing analysis, and it shows how well thought out and in some ways subliminal the team´s work can be, and also why Zelda music is regarded as some of the absolute best in the industry.
Oh man, BotW is turning out to be fascinating and a reinvention of the series, even in regards to its music. Can´t wait for more info!

How so? There's no weapon even resembling what the Sand Rod does.
The Ice/Water thing.

Cryonis raises ice pillars much like how the Sand Rod Raises sand pillars.

It's a "surprise the platform hit the ground level" animation.

Ok I kinda see it, but that's still not really a Sand Rod mechanic. It would be cool if they brought it back though.
Creating pillars of sand -> Creating pillars of ice from water. Functionally, they're the same

André promising the BotW analysis is suuuper close (not this weekend, tho) at the beginning of his SM64DS G&W.

The hype is real!
That's the stasis rune. What it does:
Edit for new page:
New video: https://amp.twimg.com/v/04755c8a-944...c-97b049bc007c
Bow & Arrow types gameplay.
So what's left for them to show off? We've seen Koroks, Weapons and Bows, a Shrine, Runes, a bit of Cooking and cutting down trees, and the Temple of Time.
So I guess they could do a small video on Guardians, variety of plants/herbs/etc or hunting/fishing, bosses, more shrines, and maybe resurrection towers.

Nicely played. Seeing how switching items takes you out of the action, even when played by someone very familiar with the game, I'm hoping for those scroll wheels more than ever.
