Noticed this as well. Potentially a longer cut version of the trailer coming soon?
Breath of the Wild is the official subtitle for Zelda U/NX, first gameplay trailer

I literally watched someone buy a Wii U yesterday on Amazon because of Zelda.
Yep noticed that as well, felt wrong. That's strange for a company like Nintendo if that's an edit problem...

I can't decide if I should get Twilight Princess HD or Xenoblade Chronicles X to help channel my excitement for now...
I'm thinking XBX just to get my open world fix.

Oh god, yes, PLEASE. The same with the clock - 12-hour clock weirds me out.

I doubt thats the reason they are holding back the NX, WiiU sales in Japan are way down and in NA it had its worst month. If Nintendo cared about WiiU sales they would have games to release for WiiU this fall.
They are holding back to NX because they are just not ready to show it, hopefully we see it before the fall
well it IS the US version being played
I'm sure measurements will be localized as usual
EDIT: and we've already seen a 24h clock in the Japanese version for the VGA demo
You didn't stop him? Lol
Not even one the is projected directly into your mind?

I love this.
Really guys? It's so obvious that it's intentionally cutting away arubtly

lt's really poorly done if that's the intent. When l first saw it l thought there was something wrong with my internet.
Eh. It was a stylistic choice because they were showing Gannon swirling around the castle.

There will be dungeons.

Yes, dungeons have been confirmed. We don't know how many there are though.
Yeah there are full temples, npc and all that stuff. They left them out of the demo to not spoil them.
I'm pretty sure it was a creative choice to make the music feel more impactful.
Wait a second.
Attack a cucco.
Drop a bomb.
Lunch for days.
I like it. It's disconcerting, and it fits with the technologically inspired enemies. It doesn't seem overt enough to be intentional though, but I'm not sure. But it's like the enemies tear through the trailer suddenly then it resumes with a hitch.

What are the chances that the Master Sword goes through some sort of Narsil - Anduril sort of transformation. For those that are unsure what I'm talking about, in the Lord of the Rings there is a powerful sword called Narsil. During a fight with Sauron, the Dark Lord, the sword broken into pieces. Using the broken handle of the sword, Elendil used it to cut the One Ring off of Sauron, thus defeating him.
In the Fellowship era, the shards were collected and reforged into a new sword called Anduril. The scabbard was also enchanted so that the blade that, once drawn, could never break.
We've seen that the Master Sword is quite rusted, and we've also seen that there's weapon degradation. Heck, we've even seen Bill grab the rusted sword from the rock in the beginning of the demo. The sword was meant to resemble the Master Sword.
There's also a focus on interchangeable weapons and archery.
I could see a game where-in Link gets the Master Sword, but it's not as powerful as it once was, so it breaks during an early battle with Ganon. We know that we can mine ore, so perhaps there's a quest to reforge the sword and gather special ore from wherever.

I was wondering this myself earlier, then I came across this video where Reggie briefly explains what it means.

Ha. First time chickens aren't invincible if it happens.
Actually, given that you can have an animal companion with Wolf Link, it would be a hilarious Zelda in-joke if you could get a chicken companion that was way more powerful than a chicken has any right to be.

The traversal and interaction with the environment is exactly what I was hoping for. Rather than just being a backdrop, the travelling through the overworld has some consequence and meaning to it.
Just wait until they reveal a toilet in the game

PS9 isn't out yet.
Y'know, for all the people celebrating change...
As far as the Open-Air Adventure game category, I was thinking that since these lands are so massive that the "Dungeon" is actually the outside world leading up to the boss. That would mean no boss keys maybe and also the boss fights would be outside. It also maybe allows you to have to use multiple items you find to solve the puzzles.
I don't know if I like the full on physics based puzzles. I usually have a hard time with those in other games and in those games you can get stuck if you don't do it right. I wonder how Zelda will handle the problem of what if you cut down all the trees and they all fall into the pit and you still can't get across. When do the trees regrow back or how can you reset the puzzle? It looked like even when you die, the trees do not reset, so wondering how they will handle that failure.

Screenshot heaven.
It really is interesting to see. Freedom to climb without following a route. A stamina system that means mashing the jump button while climbing and not thinking about it will cause you to plummet. Looking at a wall and plotting a route, with places to rest, before climbing. It looks like it could be quite engaging, especially so if items get involved.

This is too dark for Nintendo, but what if it's not rust on the Master Sword, but instead Ganondorf's dried blood?

The theme of the game is a world in ruin. So the chipped and worn logo, and Master Sword gone unloved for a long time.
Well, they did make Link stick a sword through Ganondorf's head that one time in Wind Waker.

Why wouldn't the original wielder have cleaned up that blood?

I don't know, it's cursed or something? Just throwing the idea out there. I'd love for this to be a follow-up to Wind Waker, my favorite Zelda game.
Because he died and is being ressurected at the beginning of the game, maybe

It's not poorly done at all... maybe some people are just used to the generic trailer drops which are much more dramatic and a few seconds longer (and accompanied by a stupid sub bass drop). It's clear with the musical build-up and quick successive cuts that after the blank screen you are entering the climax of the trailer.
