Well if you go by past game than you know not to judge them till the real trailer hits. WW, 3d land, 3d world, Skyward sword ,pikmin 3, Metroid prime , AND Galaxy 2 didnt you as good when compared to their final form.

I know that's a knock on the order, but after watching the recent video I got to say I'm really excited to au the order. it looks stunning.
No one should shit on the Zelda reveal. It was a peek into a game being developed, and I appreciate it.

You'd think more folks would have caught on that Nintendo is down to earth, even outright humble, about showing off games at this point. That should be a hint for people to get realistic and keep expectations in check.
Based on what was seen, here's what I noticed:
1. Yep, huge open world, with what looks like a very large map. That's what many, many have asked for the last decade or more. Well, here we are. Nintendo "caught up" to the west.
2. Who cares if SotC is ten years old. Robot truck horse epona is gone. I never liked riding the horse in a Zelda game, and this is exactly what was needed.
3. It's probably a safe bet that any gyro controls for aiming will work as they tend to do now in plenty of games: analog stick is the default for aim, and gyro can be used to fine tune the aim as an option.
I'm intrigued, no real complaints so far.

Yes and Aonuma was right wanting the next time he showed it to be next E3.
They show perfectly animated characters, with beautiful flowing grass and amazing lighting and people throw shit at it because a game that's one year away looks rough.
Sometimes i really think that Nintendo gets too much criticism when they are the ones offering some of the best quality games. I don't know wtf is wrong with people.
Honestly, this getting delayed to 2016 makes a lot of sense. Especially considering Miyamoto's Star Fox comment. Contextually the comment painted this image:
"Zelda Wii-U could finish it's development in 2015, but it probably won't. Don't worry though, Star Fox is definitely coming out next year."

This is totally a 2015 game.

And that's the problem. Zelda shouldn't be open world IMO. It completely goes against what I like about the series.

There is no bigger Zelda fan than me, I get giddy at everything shown. And I was giddy but then nothing really happened. I love getting to see hints at the control scheme and just seeing the game in action is great.
But where is the Zelda gameplay? Running through giant empty fields is not zelda, its probably the opposite of Zelda. I know they probably didn't want to show anything, but that made that a poor showing.

well you could definitely see some frame hiccups and I am sure there is some pop in and the final IQ is nowhere near done. Yeah it obviously is going to need a ton of optimization and that is definitely why they did this.
Well if they hype it like Skyward Sword it will be hard to avoid getting better detailed trailers etc.

It's a zelda game alright. Im sure it will be great, but man was that boring.
As usual, good observation. I immediately noticed all the trees looked the same and spread evenly.

It's like they wanted to show the concept of Zelda in hopes that we, the players, will start setting expectations for a totally new 3D Zelda experience. However in this day and age of grand CGI trailers, it did look underwhelming. It's a tease for Zelda fans, but it looks underwhelming to anyone else because, well, there's just not much to see in the footage they showed. :I
That didn't look good at all. Looked like an empty world with repetitive trees with little to nothing to do. Seriously, those ugly trees & textures tho. Hopefully they polish the game in the next 8 months. Hopefully the majority of the games visual quality is on par with what they showed in E3. That was hopefully an old build.

I don't know but ALL THAT WATER MEANS BOATS RIGHT?!?!? PLS NINTENDO.
HOW BIG IS THIS THING!?
Nintendo are really pushing the giant world aspect of the game so far. I guess they wanted to show that they really meant they're going back to the exploration based gameplay of the first Zelda game.
I don't think people should be worried about the overworld yet since this trailer's intention was clearly to show that the world was huge, to show that you have Epona and show just a bit of the traversal methods. They were running pretty quickly along the map, not focusing on anything but the tower (which they didn't even show haha).
I thought it was hilarious how relaxed the trailer was. People were probably expecting some super hype epic trailer like the Twilight Princess but, nope, here you have Miyamoto and Aonuma talking about release dates while Epona runs! It sure isn't the best marketing idea, but I just love their style.

Frankly they were validated in that, because it looked boring and uninteresting at the time.
You seem to assume that people should use precognition or simply blindly believe everything Nintendo shows to be AAA 95+ GOTY stuff.
Maybe if you ignore like half of the conversation.

We like to think about how big the world is, but when they show it to us, nopenopenope.
Yeah.
While we all certainly understand that it still looks a bit rough, they shouldn't have concentrated on some gameplay elements that aren't that interesting, because they've been in a ton of games.
A better look through the world with different areas would have been nice, everything looked pretty similar.
Dungeons or just a different type of areas, which are surely part of the world, would have been alot better.
It doesn't looked lived in.
Given Nintendo's track record with LoZ, maybe they should.
HOW BIG IS THIS THING!?
Oh. Look at it, an in-game clock. It`s 7pm in Hyrule.
I wonder if the time is just there for development purposes (it's quite obvious that they haven't worked on the proper UI yet) or if time will play an important role in the new game. Other Zelda games had day/night cycles, but outside of Majora's Mask they never had a proper clock on screen, since it wasn't important to the gameplay.
I don't know. I just saw it as a presentation of how pretty and large the world is. Maybe they took it for granted in thinking that people will know that the content will be there when it ships a year from now. I mean, to me it's common sense. It's fucking Zelda.

This is what has me excited to be honest. Give me a sense of mystery and exploration. I really hope Aounuma is going for that. Don't start the game out with a 30 minute story/tutorial.
I am happy. I wanted a full blown trailer and sure Nintendo hasn't forgotten how to make those as seeing that the smash trailers were good and full of hype. I kinda want that next time, to feed my hype machine. Game looked pretty from offscreen, it did look barren and a bit repetitive from that very small snippet. Still... I am all in. I love Zelda, it's my favorite media franchise in the world. In Nintendo I trust

.You're going to get knee-jerk posts on both sides. I doubt anybody here is going to make a definitive buying decision based on what they saw tonight, which is what matters.

That was really, really dull. I hope this turns out well because I want to like but the last few Zelda games I didn't care for much either.

Can I be a Nintendo MVP too?
Pretty much.
They still haven't done their "story" trailer that shows the "new" features of the game. Bulletime is probably notable though.
I blame Geoff for hyping me a bit too much.

I see I'm not the only one who wasn't particularly impressed.
We know how open world navigation works.
And the world looked rather early in development or Just not that good.

Zelda's never really had a cohesive "open world" though*, just sort of a hub system with cordoned off little sections that serve as other maps
Skyward Sword was actually the worst at this, with a world that felt more restrictive than any other
