This is a fantastic idea! Oh please let this engine and artstyle be used for a Link's Awakening remake.... I NEED it.
We have the reintroduction of following companions (Wolf Link, maybe Zelda?) so they can bring back Bow-Wow and the flying rooster!

I've only had 20 minutes during the Switch demo today, but there's something BotW does very much right. The godamn intro.
You aren't mandated to herd goats, catch cats or children, hunt chickens, forced to learn about all four families in the boring starting village area and painstakingly run through overconvoluted tutorials explaining how to press an 'A' button in kindergarten style.
You wake up underground, collect some clothes and the slate item, walk to the surface, can quickly klick through all intro text explaining various functions and are free to explore. That's it. No overconvoluted explanations, only the intriguing question of what the hell happened at that place and how the hell you got there. The ruins you find yourself in already tell small stories without a single word of text to scroll through, just by means of their layout.
It might just prove to be the strongest intro a 3D console Zelda has ever had, not because it's so elaborate, but because it does so little to explain the world around you and actually entices you to find out for yourself.

Question: If I was to buy the Wolf Link amiibo as a standalone purchase on March 3rd, would it still work in BotW or does it have to be used in TPHD first?

Just watched the new trailer.
I dunno if I can jive with the voice acting. Has Nintendo said anything about being able to turn it off?

It will work, but you will only have 3 Hearts for Wolf Link. You get more hearts the more you progress the special Cave of Shadows trials he opens up in TP.
It'll probably have three hearts or something. Yes it does.

I was interested in how much of the map was covered in the latest Treehouse footage, once the Paraglider had been equipped and the player could descend from the Plateau.
...So I went through the various videos and plotted out the routes, with a few notes on of any exciting details/landmarks ->
For your ref, the videos referenced in the key are...

ROUTE B - 07:03 -> 10:52
ROUTE C - 10:53 -> 17:00

This turns me off to so many games that I just can't be bothered to play if I'm not playing the game in short time anymore. I don't need an hour of handholding before the reins can be let loose.

Is it true that Zelda Botw Wii U will be digital only in Europe ?
Lol what
Just found this, this is based on data that isn't complete (the map wasn't zoomed out at its maximum)
I read that it's around 400 km2, 4 times GTA V, about the same as XCX, 10 times Skyrim
I really wonder if they'll be able to make an openworld similar to Red Dead Redemption with subtle level design : you need to feel the adventure and nature aspects, but it must stay entertaining and give you things to interact with (watching an event or looking at a landscape is an interaction, and they are very well timed in RDR or GTA IV)

Going by the event routes of the above poster, I think they might be able to.

Holy crap.
Yeah, the Wind Waker one doesn't seem right. :|
I saw this but the size of the WW map doesn't make sense unless he didn't count the water.

Is it march yet
Can you link to the exact timestamp where she said this? You're not the first one to mention it but I need to see the source itself before I believe.
Sure sec i will try to find the post of someone who found the footage i will edit this post in a moment.
Edit: here it is.

Around 15 mins in.
Copied from the timeline discussion thread it's on page 3 there.

Most likely only counted the area you could explore on land.
We're talking Zelda, so it's more like two hours+. Not in BotW however. Some 3 minutes and you're going. Anything new is nonchalantly and quickly explained in a short text bubble when you first get to try it.
And I'm such a sucker for ruined places. The contrast between all the peaceful nature taking over and the mangled ruins makes for a beautifully intriguing starting area.

I mean, who really went through the trouble of counting the space occupied by only the land?

Do we have any footage of Link killing squirrels?
About the UI, I'm sad they didn't chose something close the Wind Waker HD, adapted to the BOTW artstyle
It's clean but impersonal, while Zelda is a game with character.
I hope you can at least disable the minimap by the way. That's one thing that Ubisoft games do well, you can really customize everything, with on/off/smart options for everything.
I don't want to see the health, pupeteer, buffs, map, temperature, hour and other things all the time. That's nonsense.
Yep.
Sound design is important too and even from YouTube videos I love it.

It's almost bizarre that Zelda, a game not even about Stealth, has better sound design and sound mechanics than Dishonored, the spiritual successor to goddamn Thief.
I'd like to disable the mini map too. Based on the way the game is designed, I think I'd be able to orient myself pretty easily to every landmark or town.
The overly clean UI is a bit disappointing but I like the animations they've put for link in detail and the UI functionality and speed seems top tier which is great for this sort of game because pulling out stuff to hold is a major mechanic and shouldn't be a pain to do.
I think a demoer a while back confirmed some HUD options, with the one shown being "Default".
I played the demo and killed a squirrel. They poof and drop nothing but acorns. :C
Last year I did Far Cry Primal without any HUD, using the map only when lost, and even if the game wasn't 100% designed for that, it was a true experience to be able to recognize every area and to be able to move from Landmark to Landmark.
Great game by the way if you like open worldS, nature, adventure, loniless and wild animals.
Wow so cool, thanks.

I saw someone kill a fox. Felt pretty bad to see link doing this to be honest. Reminded me of red dead.

A fox eh? Where you see that? I cant wait to see all the wildlife
Yeah...Link killing animals feels so wrong. In any other Zelda the animals would just revolt and kill Link while also being invincible. xD
I wonder if dead horses leave meat. I'd be so sad if my "Epona" died and left nothing but a slab of meat. Or...like, you're on the brink of death and the only thing you have is your horse. Hahaha...

have we heard from an internal nintendo source or anyone playing the current switch demo build (whose age we cant verify and cant know if its indicative of final shipped code) as to whether there's any usage of the haptic feedback/HD rumble of the joy cons? Even just a very subtle addition or improvement over conventional rumble?
