For the OT title, I think it should be simple like: Zelda: Breath of the Wild |OT| Open Your Eyes.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Zelda: Breath of the Wild |OT| I wonder what GANON'S up to?

 

[verbatimo]

Damn that Wolf Link amiibo is hard to find. Sold out every online store in Finland.

Fortunately amazon France have them so I ordered from there.

Need to finish Cave of Shadows before March 3.

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.

What does Hero mode usually entail ?

 

[tali'zorah84]

What does Hero mode usually entail ?

Double damage, no hearts in the overworld.

 

[Neoleo2143]

What does Hero mode usually entail ?

Enemies deal double damage and you're forced to heal only from Bottles. Since many enemies in this game can 1-3HKO link by default and no hearts drop from grass anyway, that sort of Hero mode is rendered somewhat pointless and I don't think they'll just drop Hero mode so I'm guessing it'll be something different this time around. Probably not remixed enemies or anything drastic like a character action game. I don't think the game will be hard or anything but I don't think it'll be disatisfying since the core combat mechanics seem much better thought through this time around, the enemy design looks better than many 3D zeldas and the designed "camps" often throw a lot more enemies at Link at once (the first notable one off the plateau had 8 or 9 enemies with 4 blue Bokoblins who kill Link in Two hits, I was worried that they wouldn't increase the difficulty quick enough off the plateau, but that seems to be reassuring that they're being pretty good about difficulty balance this time around).

They should have an option so that bringing up the menu screen is realtime and enemies can still attack you.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

So we can definitely use the pro controller on Wii U right? I don't want to buy a Switch for this, but I probably will if I have to use the Quasimodo nightmare that is the Gamepad.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild |OT| You Can Go There

or, alternately:

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild |OT| See That Mountain?

Yes.

 

[Neoleo2143]

This would probably be the logical step up in a difficulty modifier I'd make and probably the only one besides making the enemies ridiculously aggressive for the lols or something because that's the only variable left that could be turned up easily.

It has to be this.

 

[Cerium]

Best Zelda? I think so. I'm also very fond of OoT and TP Zeldas.

Wind Waker Zelda will forever be the best Zelda. None of the others have even come close to matching her in personality.

Sitting in the train, watching the trailer again, battling the tears. Such an emotional trailer, man.

He talks about all the major 3D Zelda games and what it would take to make the perfect Zelda game - and he absolutely nails this game...and he made the video back in 2012!

 

[mugwhump]

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.

Second quest would be DLC I could get behind

 

[AniHawk]

Wind Waker Zelda will forever be the best Zelda. None of the others have even come close to matching her in personality.

spirit tracks zelda comes pretty close. maybe even better since she doesn't turn into a doll near the end of the game.

This is a good one because this game is actually finished.

[wesleyshark]

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)

I saw this but the size of the WW map doesn't make sense unless he didn't count the water.

This is so hype. My word.

 

[Bamboo 竹]

"Open your eyes" has to be the OT title. No other option, not even puns about that line.

 

[Machina]

Zelda: Breath of the Wild |OT| Don't let it be for nothing.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

Really like the ambient touches, like the wind streaks when traveling fast.

 

[Skittzo0413]

Yeah I'll agree it kinda has to be "Open Your Eyes". Then again...

Hope that this huuuge overworld is populated with side quest and interesting things to do and see

 

[Nickovic]

I'm having trouble figuring out what this game's "twist" is. Ocarina had time travel, MM was the transformations/three days aspect, TP was Wolf Link. What is it in this one? The sheikah slate? Or something we haven't seen yet?

Much more open
Shrines
The collosi type animals roaming.
Slate with its abilities.
Twist could be related to the 100 years asleep thing too.

"Open air" gameplay I guess.

Im pretty sure we had matthewmatosis threads years ago

 

[correojon]

I like a lot Blue is the New Green and Burn Everything.

My poor suggestions:

• The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild |OT| Formerly known as Zelda U
  
• The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild |OT| Legola´s Crossbow Training

 

[The Hermit]

Is that accurate?

Skyrim was huge af

 

[Agalloch]

The Legend of Zelda: BotW |OT Shrine happy people holding hands

 

[vareon]

Is that accurate?

Speed of traversal is important too. Movement in Skyrim is slower than BoTW so it feels very large. Iirc Xenoblade X's map is the same as BoTW (if not slightly bigger) but you hsve blitzing run speed and giant flying robots.

 

[skullomania]

I'm not all that familiar with Skyward Sword, having never played it...but I spotted an area that might potentially have some connection to the "Sealed Grounds" area from that game in the latest trailer...

 

[Skidd]

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild |OT| Everything the light touches is Hyrule.

 

[casey_contra]

Another vote for "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild |OT| Open Your Eyes"

But also want to suggest:

"The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild |OT| Shrine Fao Gen"


"The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild |OT| Shrine Ao Feng"

Doesn't seem likely, [Skyward Sword story spoilers]

Spoiler

the Sealed Grounds gets plugged by a portion of Skyloft which fell to the Surface due to Link's Triforce wish.

 

[Machina]

Zelda is going to rescue Link at some stage in this game, you can bank on it.

I was just going to mention this but not for the same reason, I thought it was the spiral spit of land you can see in the North East edge of the map.
