So much this. I'm still all teary and wasn't expecting such strong reaction.

[Rats Off To Ya]

Well yeah, maybe if I hadn't heard the Japanese trailer first I wouldn't be as critical. You're right, Zelda definitely sounds the worst of the bunch.

And hey, some of us waggle with our left hand

I'm not ready to unequivocally say Zelda is "worse," but the English VO was certainly much less suited for that particular spot in that particular trailer. It's a victim of editing more than anything else.

 

[Tan]

so... was link turning into a wolf at the end of the trailer?

 

[DataGhost]

The trailer hyped me for this game. Gonna try to preorder after work tommorow

 

[Haunted]

Solid trailer. Leaning towards WiiU because I won't be able to get a Switch with Nintendo's usual launch allocations anyway, even if it looks like it's going to be acceptably cheap.

 

[Bitanator]

Wii U has to be better performance wise I would think...it's still more powerful hardware.

Dude, stop before you become MuchoMalo

 

[Adaren]

She looks like Ariana Grande.

 

[Funkyhamster]

Cool to see Zelda crying in Link's arms and that's her job and he just comforts her like men are supposed to

Then she gets kidnapped

FUCKING Aonuma.

Was bummed about that (also bummed about Peach seemingly being back in her role as damsel in distress in the Super Mario Odyssey trailer). Aside from that, this trailer was incredible.

 

[shandy706]

Please, please do not let me miss out on the Collectors Edition.

 

[The Boat]

The tech is meh, but it's made up very well by nice composition.

Reading this and knowing this game is running on a Wii U makes my brain hurt.

 

[iShouldGoPro]

So is that the king of Hyrule speaking near the end of the trailer?

 

[AEREC]

Dude, stop before you become MuchoMalo

Guess I've been out of the loop... I always thought switch was a slight downgrade.

 

[99Luffy]

Ive always thought Zelda has been pretty mediocre when it came to art style and character design... Until now. I think I'll be tempted to get some merchandise.

 

[DryvBy]

Amazon has the Switch preorder up here.

 

[takriel]

Yeah, this is not a good thing in today's Western gaming landscape, and rightfully so.

Everything else looks absolutely amazing, though.

 

[idwl]

Princess Zelda ❤❤❤

 

[Prof. Bathtub]

We got the farmville, the windmill place and the Gerudo settlement, seems to be the most towns since TP.

The different characters (minus the birds) do lean in to the OoT side of things, so that leads credence to that whole speculation.

 

[MrChowderClams]

The art looks great! Explosions feel really nice~

 

[Frumix]

She looks like Ariana Grande.

 

[Not]

I mean, at least Zelda's VA sounds aces

It'll be cool when I'm rescuing her from the castle from a mean guy

Again

Hey cool Zoras are red now

 

[(mat)]

Yeah, screw having the hero of this story doing hero things like saving people. At least we have Arms, where the promotional images show a woman punching a man.

 

[Quintin DM]

looks like there going with PSP size boxes

 

[dmr87]

We'll soon be able to play this, I can't believe it.

 

[Nazgul_Hunter]

GameXplain could make an hour video of all the callbacks in that trailer; but this was my favorite

 

[MCD]

Kenshiro eyebrows

 

[Vyer]

never would have expected launch title

trailer looked good.

 

[Not]

I mean, for all its modernity Japan is surprisingly conservative and regressive, the way they handle gay people, the roles of women in fiction

I think all the baby boomers just gotta stop overseeing the stories

I guess the Western world is proving it's not much better lately

 

[D.Va]

Is that Zelda talking? She sounds... maybe she'll sound more like how I imagined in the JP version.

But what a great looking trailer.

 

[(mat)]

It certainly looked like the Great Deku Tree behind the Master Sword this time around, didn't it?

 

[Big_Al]

I really hope this is 3/3 on Wii U in Europe as well as in the US. I want a Switch eventually but there's just nothing that makes me want one right now.

 

[lvl99 Pixel]

Having a strong female character doesn't negate heroism...
Hopefully she becomes either playable, or more than what she was in the last few Zeldas

 

[watershed]

so... was link turning into a wolf at the end of the trailer?

It kind of looked like it but I hope not.

I also wasn't enthused by the whole Zelda needs saving thing again.

 

[Ryoku]

Cool.

Fuck... I have to get the master edition, now.....

 

[Ryoku]

Cool.

Fuck... I have to get the master edition, now.....

 

[B.O.O.M]

That was a very nice trailer..especially dat music

 

[(mat)]

Having a strong female character doesn't negate heroism...

I saw her as a shattered person who made mistakes to lead her land to failure, not a "classic crying woman". It felt emotional to me in a good way, not in a misogynistic way.

 

[PatThePassive]

Having a strong female character doesn't negate heroism...

I'm putting stock on gerudo girl or are we writing her off for not being Zelda?

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Having a strong female character doesn't negate heroism...

But how else are we going to have our big hero moment when we save her?

/s

 

[Not]

I'm playing Wind Waker again and Tetra is so great until, because of her bloodline she has to put on a dress and be docile and useless SPOILERS

I'm expecting something similar in here too. "Oh look what a cool strong female character Zelda is look she's wearing pants AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND kidnapped"

 

[takriel]

so... was link turning into a wolf at the end of the trailer?

No, why do you think that?

 

[zma1013]

so... was link turning into a wolf at the end of the trailer?

No, he's hurt and someone is picking him up, you can see the hands around him. I think it's the princess. I'm assuming it's right before the crying scene considering all the dirt all over him in both scenes.

 

[Crossing Eden]

I like that Zelda's allowed to get just as dirty as Link, not a fan that yet again she becomes a damsel in distress if "save my daughter" is any indication. Her getting kidnapped or put in danger and thus becoming the endgame goal is pretty tired at this point so hopefully they're trying to find some ways to deviate from that.

FUCKING Aonuma.

*Kickbacks*

Oh yeah, now this thread is really going to get started.

 

[Firemind]

The English VA sounds pretty bad. Hoping for Japanese option.

 

[FACE]

I hope they don't Ubisoft this up.

👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

 

[El-Pistolero]

Man, I just felt like a kid again, watching that trailer...Beautiful...

 

[balgajo]

I'm ready for a hour long session with GameXplain. My god that trailer.

Not doing this man. 1,5 month until launch and almost 4 minutes trailer. I will be spoiled as fuck by the amount of hidden details...XD

 

[Not]

Yeah, screw having the hero of this story doing hero things like saving people. At least we have Arms, where the promotional images show a woman punching a man.

Right?
