[orioto]

That's probably their last occasion to play it cause they don't have a WiiU and won't buy a NX!

Just kidding!

 

[Osukaa]

lol the dude raising his hands on the bottom right

LOLOL He was thought he was unleashing his Nintendo Army upon MS and Sony "Go forth my Nintendo Nuts and ATTACK!!"

 

[DecoReturns]

Don't worry someone gots the demo in a SD card.

The internet never lies

 

[-Horizon-]

The hype is real

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

"What else is there to run to though from Nintendo???"

 

[Mr-Joker]

And people thought that Nintendo was making a mistake in making Zelda the only playable game on the showfloor, goes to show how much they know.

 

[SalvaPot]

"The last time this happened was when Nintendo was unveiled the Wii"

And that sold a lot.

Is it bad I am getting really excited about the success this game can be?

 

[linkboy]

That's nuts.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

lol the dude raising his hands on the bottom right

IT HAS BEGUN

 

[Kouriozan]

Oh boy, I'm getting flashback of E3 2006 with people rushing to the Nintendo booth.

 

[Maximo]

And people thought that Nintendo was making a mistake in making Zelda the only playable game on the showfloor, goes to show how much they know.

That Nintendo fans are rushing to the only available Nintendo game to play at E3?

 

[SalvaPot]

The hype is so strong there is a stampede to post this news first.

 

[Francokid1]

I hope the positive reception motivates Nintendo to make a MM style sequel/expansion for 2018.
I don't want to wait another 5 years for a new console Zelda.

 

[Incitemaybe]

From what I've seen of the game I can completely understand this, very excited myself😆

 

[Eolz]

Is that guy praising the sun?

 

[ghostjoke]

Is there one for the porn booth too?

 

[timlot]

Remember borrowing this game from a classmate back in the late eighties. Must have been 7 or 8 years old. Thought the game was boring. Its come along way.

 

[neoanarch]

Is that guy praising the sun?

The goddesses or triforce pls

 

[RK9039]

Winner: Dar... Zelda.

 

[SalvaPot]

That Nintendo fans are rushing to the only available Nintendo game to play at E3?

There was 140 stations.

The line was still 4:30 hours long.

 

[DecoReturns]

I hope the positive reception motivates Nintendo to make a MM style sequel/expansion for 2018.
I don't want to wait another 5 years for a new console Zelda.

But will 5 years be enough time to beat this Zelda?

 

[chrono01]

Rightfully so, this Zelda looks amazing.

I wish I was there to play it. ;_;

 

[morthbound]

But will this translate into sales?

 

[bobbychalkers]

I haven't seen footage like this since the Wii's first E3 outing.

 

[DragonKnight]

Told ya

 

[Triforce141]

Looks like Nintendo reserving a bunch of space for Zelda was a good idea, if it had the standard booth space, that line would be an eternity.

Is there one for the porn booth too?

That would be people shadily moving to that booth and not trying to be seen.

 

[Eolz]

That Nintendo fans are rushing to the only available Nintendo game to play at E3?

Are we seriously getting that shit in every Zelda thread?

 

[Seik]

The hype is real, wow!

Reminds me of those boxing day videos, except this is more civilized.

 

[Kouichi]

I'd be running too.

 

[Boke1879]

Considering THIS Zelda has been teased since the inception of the Wii U. Literally going a whole gen without a new Zelda game. These people are thirsty for it. Don't blame them. It looks great honestly.

 

[PAULINK]

Man I remember last year, got in line to play star fox zero when the doors opened. The dude cut the line off after I got in line. When I asked him how long did he think i'd be in line for, he told me til closing.

Got out of that fucking line as soon as possible. It was weird though because you could play the game at other booths, this was just so you could get in an arwing cockpit and get a pin. Ended up playing the game at a smaller booth at the end of the day ( the rep told me I completed the demo faster than anyone he's seen).

 

[Gaiaknight]

no hype like zelda hype.

 

[Zetta]

That's probably their last occasion to play it cause they don't have a WiiU and won't buy a NX!

Just kidding!

I'd run for this game too.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Im surprised there is no security people there to make people behave

 

[Subpar Spatula]

Take that Micro(soft) and Soy.

 

[bobbychalkers]

We thought Nintendo was crazy to dedicate their entire booth to one game but little did we know that they were doing these people a service by providing more Zelda demo stations....and lines were still 4 hours long!

 

[Amagon]

Fall back nerds.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Gotta hand it to sunbro

 

[thequickandthedead]

Was it open to the public?

 

[clay_ghost]

I remember how everyone think it's ridiculous for Nintendo to only have Playable Zelda and noting else.

 

[Boke1879]

I mean this game has me willing to get a WII U next year if it's cheap enough just to play this.

 

[disappeared]

Im surprised there is no security people there to make people behave

Last day of e3? No fucks given

 

[Cypher]

lol the dude raising his hands on the bottom right

 

[DeuceGamer]

8 hours wait causes that. Imagine if they hadn't devoted all of the resources to Zelda. If they had Paper Mario, Pokemon, and others playable people would have missed Zelda regardless of how long they waited.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

How did Polygon get that overhead shot?

[RK128]

Wow, I mean....I loved the trailer and gameplay I saw online, but I wouldn't run to wait on a long line to play the game. But this does indicate that Nintendo really took everyone by surprise with this new Zelda adventure.

I do wonder though, will people run out to get Wii U's after E3 thanks to Zelda, or just wait until the NX comes out some point next year and get Zelda on that.

Either way, Nintendo has a hit and hopefully people are happy with the final game.

 

[P44]

I remember how everyone think it's ridiculous for Nintendo to only have Playable Zelda and noting else.

It's still ridiculous lol, but it helps that Zelda is amazing.
