I think he was a bit more specific than that and stated his new ip he was working on has being a thief as a concept. I may be mis remembering though.
The other side of the tapestry is a weather worn map. Central Hyrule, Faron, and Hebra are very clearly written. People have been trying to make out the other regions but it's a very worn map:
My mind is full of fuck, where did Lake Hylia go, it should be somewhere above the Great Plateau (that houses the Temple of Time as we know). The question mark to the right of Faron should be the Lost Woods. To the left of Great Plateau probably Gerudo Valley. But Ninaya is something new?

These are region names not cities or points of interest. In your example the lost woods would be 5-7x larger then the great plateau.
As an example, this map would list Kentucky, but not Louisville, even though it's the only place in Kentucky worth bothering to look at

Do we know if there will be any small-area exploration, like crawling through tunnels, or figuring out how to get out of a small room, things like that? I really liked that aspect of Wind Waker.
The design here seems too big in scale and scope to allow for that small, slow pacing, it seems.

Assuming things pan out the way I expect, it's probably getting a 93 at least. There's a potential for getting lost, but the game design seems to subtly prevent that. People might criticize the visual fidelity or they might praise the art style. It'll be praised for how different it is in comparison to other modern open world games yet how it borrows mechanics and concepts from most of them and it refines and implements all it's ideas.
Yeah, 95 or 96. I hope. But anything above 85 is of course good.
Edit: Actually, I got a feeling it's going to be 97. Heh. That would be insane.

Lake Hylia is directly next to the Great Plateau, south east.
Between 96 and 99

Was it confirmed the Wii U version is 720p? At least from that last DF video build they had they said it did have some form of AA.

Wow there are more regions then i expected this game is huge...

My speculation about what we might find in the named regions:
Faron: we know Lake Hylia is here, if it follows Skyward Sword's naming convention it might also be the region where the Lost Woods, Great Deku Tree and Master Sword are located. That'd also mean Gerudo Desert's region is called Lanayru.
Neclida: tropical region that includes the lizalfos ruins from last year's game awards footage as well as the coastal town we saw in the most recent trailer. The elephant guardian might dwell here too.
Ninaya: Zora's Domain. Might have seen some of it in the last trailer when Link is on a raft, facing a huge rock formation.
Altum: another coastal area, might be undead themed to contrast with Neclida. l'm basing this on the skull lake from the old map shown a couple of years ago and that giant skeleton seen in the E3 2016 trailer.
Hebra: the snowy mountains, probably home of a Biggoron as the tallest peak has a hole in it that looks like a bite mark. We got a glimpse of a huge creature in a snowy area in the first 2016 trailer too. lt'd be nice if the Yetis from Twilight Princess made an appearance too, l love these goobers.

Yes, Switc 900p but these is all from recent builds. Lets see if launch retains these targets.

Great predictions I too believe the elephant will be somewhere in the jungle region. I really hope the yeti's return too, awesome characters.
It's probably that big mass of water in Faron.
My guess for the game's dungeons based on trailers:
3 dungeons that can be tackled in any order, then you get the Master Sword and progress more in the story, the Master Sword might not be at full power or isn't even the best sword.
Then the 4 colossi which roam those specific regions, which can be tackled in any order.
Then Hyrule Castle / Calamity Ganon's Tower, which might be more multi-part and complex.
From the very beginning, you can probably enter any of these dungeons and try to take them on, but you will probably get your ass handed to you.
And of course, the 100 shrines - some hidden, some not - and some mini ice-dungeon like areas which grant you cool goodies.
I wouldn't worry about the scale of the robot dungeons, remember Lord Jabu-Jabu from OoT? He was basically the fish TARDIS. Each of the robots might be the length of 2-3 traditional Zelda dungeons, they can go ham with the internal machinery.

Man, I really hope all the shrines aren't tech-looking, and I hope the alleged 4 dungeons aren't those mechanical creatures.
When Nintendo said they wanted to break the conventions of Zelda, I didn't think it would mean they were going to change the 'look' of the dungeons. Everyone actually likes how the dungeons look and work!
I want my desert-styled dungeon, I like my forest dungeon, I want my underground mysterious dungeon!

Great plateau is less than 2% of the main game

😂 that one got me. Game is insanely huge tho i like it.
And thanks to all the posters for posting their metacritic predictions they all were interesting to read.

Yep, that's what he said. And I really hope he's working on it now. I didn't get the impression from that interview that the game was locked-in for development. I don't want this guy stuck to Zelda for the rest of his career.

And all they have shown off really in detail is the first area? I bet this game is bigger then skyrim.

They've shown off another jungle area which focused more on combat. But pretty much the only area that we know in full is the opening.

I was pretty hyped when I thought about the flying bird being a dungeon, but if all these mechanic monsters are dungeons it becomes old pretty fast. Hope they add some variety.

(Internally fuming)......... lol anyways I'm predicting mid 90s for metacritic. I just feel this will be a classic like ocarina, Mario galaxy, resident evil 4 etc. There just seems to be so much the game is doing right, I have high expectations and I believe they will be met.
I feel like this game was in such a good place from the get-go. It feels unique enough even within its own established Zelda world and won't suffer from MGSV:TPP effect - too much gameplay, too little story... since it's Zelda. If anything, reviewers will praise the inclusion of even more story elements (Talking characters!). 92-95 meta for sure.

Please don't shoot the messenger with this one.
I'm not an insider nor doing I have a secret backstage pass.
My university friend went to an event here in the UK to play the Switch. He says that he stumbled through one of the menus while playing Breath of the Wild and there was a mission log which seemed further ahead than what the demo was at.
He said the mission was
MAJOR SPOILERS FOR BOTW LINK'S IDENTITY
He's not a big Zelda or Nintendo fan either and simply writes some games articles for a newspaper.

I'm not the biggest Zelda fan (late Nintendo adopter, post Wii, enthusiast etc.) and even to me it's pretty evident that BOTW deals with...
...time travel.
So makes sense.

Fuck, I'm holding out for the Switch version of this game but may not be able to purchase the Switch until May. I'm so afraid of being spoiled.

Is there a thread [I've been searching for one] or any info source that has bullet points of every known feature revealed about this game so far? I love reading stuff like that - if I knew enough about this game, I'd make the thread lol

The GameXplain guys also mentioned they were able to see a quest long from towards the end of the game.
Though they kept their mouths zipped, respectfully.
However that spoiler has me hyped.

The Hero of Time, eh? Even though his clothing and handedness are incongruous with Ocarina of Time's Link... oh well, they probably have some cutscenes to explain that. I'm so hype.

I think I'll make one compiling as much stuff as possible. Probably building on Miami Wesker's initial List from E3.

Yup. Best case scenario is that It'll fit comfortably in the Witcher 3/MGSV tier: 92-93.
They dont have to be the same person..
but they are most likely one and the same
Also I remember, it might be Gamexplain that said they saw a late game quest there?, I read someone saw a lategame quest so maybe it was the same as this.
You clicked it.
You didn't have to click on it.
