There's a fox in the beginning of the latest trailer, I believe.
Hey, that's right, will they keep the chickens?

This is very good on so many levels.

how long will be this game? any ideas, rumors ?

Nothing solid, I'm pretty sure, but the game world is several times larger than Skyrim. It took my girlfriend several hundred hours to finish Skyrim. Even if we assume there's not quite as many quests (and I think that'd be reasonable), we should still be looking at a safely 90-100 hour game.
I'd think you expect too much of Nintendo. It might as well be half that time, just with a higher polish than elsewhere.

holly shit, really? nobody got time for that
Both Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess are 35-40 hours. Twilight Princess took me 90 hours to 100% (Although, I was a slowpoke and refused to look up anything...so)
I'd say this is going to be a 40-100 hour game...but probably even more than that considering how huge it is. The main story could very well be 35 hours like the past mainline titles.
It'll be interesting to see the speedruns if you can skip the majority of the game though.
What...? How?

Blame the millions of Skyrim players.
Like you, I was probably being a slowpoke and refused to look anything up.

I think if you are trying to 100% the game going through all 100+ of the shrines alone should take up a huge amount of time. Just based on the ones we've seen so far I'd say they average out to 6-7+ minutes when getting every chest and not rushing through. That right there is already more than 600-700 minutes aka 10-12 hours of gameplay.
And then you have the massive, massive world 10x larger than that of Skyrim. The amount of other locations like towns, caves, and dungeons will likely be smaller than that of Skyrim but I'd wager 100%ing this game would take well over 100 hours, all things considered.
Well we can try. At E3 some of the media got 40 minutes hands on time with the game. They were allowed to explore the whole Plateau region and complete 2/4 Shrines I believe. They were able to explore a whole lot but not exactly the whole area. Let's say to completely explore the Great Plateau and complete all 4 Shrines it will take 90 minutes, though it could very well take 30+ minutes more to find all the secrets and such available.
Nintendo has repeatedly stated that the Great Plateau is about 2% of the game world, though it is a bit more densely packed with content than many other parts. Fan assessments of the map put it possibly as low as 1%. Let's stick with 2% though to factor in the fact that it is more dense than other areas of the world.
90 min to explore 2% would be 4500 minutes or 75 hours probably at a minimum for a completionist type run. If you consider the Great Plateau to be just half a percentage point less and represent only 1.5% of the game world size that pushes total playtime to 100 hours. Or conversely if it takes 120 minutes or 2 hours to explore it at 2% that would be the same thing.
All in all, this will be a big ass game.
Best Zelda? I think so. I'm also very fond of OoT and TP Zeldas.
best Zelda confirmed.
Back to that spoiler, it explains why
Aonuma made such weird excuses for Link being male. So there's still hope for FemLink.
Too whiny. I dig the eyebrows, tho. Shame she may not be putting them to work.

thanks you for the details.
I would like to see a normal person Zelda, guess it's not happening this time. Before someone asks, SS was too animu.
|OT| It'll release in 2015, right?
This is good.
Lol...that hurts.
I think we'll get a surprise. Or you know...just make a small DLC with playable Zelda in it and we'll eat it up. C'mon Nintendo.
She looks like a sad puppy. I'd like to see another expression from her aside from sad and very sad. D:
So... I was revisiting the old videos of Zelda (E3 2014), and it's funny to see Aonuma with the snapping fingers (a trait we see often in the Switch conference) to show for the first time BotW... XD

Not sure if at that time, they (Nintendo) were actually thinking/planning on the new console (hyperbole mine, exageration, etc.)...

Very true. I think you are correct. Also, rewatching this I picked up on a few things:
1. Open world is also puzzle solving confirmed
2: LINK IS AMBUSHING The guardian by wearing the hood. The hooded rider is some kind of guardian bait.
Uh?
SS had 5, and this has a massive open world. And it doesn't seem to include the usual host of bugs that typically ship with open world titles.
Considering that, and the 100+ shrines, we shouldn't really expect more than 4 dungeons.

Looking back at that trailer made me realize we haven't seen those laser arrows in action.
I doubt they got cut from the game, so maybe they're story related?

Is it me or does it look like the general world is empty ? I've seen very few mobs out in the wild for this game. I hope it isn't essentially windwaker on land.

I don't feel that this accusation is accurate, there's quite a lot of stuff in the world and a nice amount of variety to it all.

just saw gamexplains off the plateu footage, any other/longer clips of just open world footage outside the starting point?

This is what ive been looking for, for days and havent seen anything but the treehouse footage. That looked sooo good with that guardian continuously not letting him through
The horseback combat in this game looks so fun.
No but its neat that the game does seem to allow for that. I just hope there's no unskippable cut scene of Link eating meat!
This reminds me of that halal food thread we had here. I didn't realize vegetarians also do this too.

So far and away my favorite Zelda design ever. Just perfect.

Probably. Link hunting boars and wildlife doesn't quite sit right with my head canon.

She has a bit of a Daenerys look.
To me she looks bit more like Ariana Grande.She has a bit of a Daenerys look.

I wouldn't be surprised if they re-used the same world in future games, honestly. Maybe even just a different threat/quest. I can't imagine them starting from scratch again.

It's not unlikely that there's a Hero Mode like past games, but in general it seems difficulty this time around is balanced around the Hero Mode esque elements of past games, so they could possibly change something else.
