Sure, the focus will be on them. But they will show small chunks of Zelda to keep the hype alive.
I am hoping for this as well. Personally not a fan of gyro controls; would not want to be waving the gamepad around for extended play sessions.

Tie six of them together to make a Horseraft.

Hes an adult.. this link design really reminds me of the adult ww concept art.Zero²;142112935 said:
Im pumped at the scale, and the idea of real adventure and exploration instead of everything being perfectly laid out right in front of you.
Yeah it looks a little barren here and there, but that will make actually finding and discoverying things that much more special. And secrets even more challenging to find. I just hope they do actually keep it challenging while also making it accessible, but not needlessly so.
The horseback controls looks great, it makes sense, as real horses have their own brains and such.
Also its an early demo, so they have good amount of tine to add things and they likely left things out on purpose, seems they just wanted to focus on scale and horseback.

I wonder if we will be able to go to the flat area south of the snowpeak mt. It might be a huge plain? But its bounded to have limits...Has someone annotated the map already? Haven't read the thread yet. That'll be my Sunday activity.
How's this?
If Metroid can crawl, then Zelda can swim.

Me too.
Despite the crappy controls.

Without the style it has you wouldn't get the cutest Princess Z ever! She's just adorable!
Cheeky bastard.
Jesus that's cool.

On the topic of traversing water: I'd love to see the SS zora suit come back. Or what if we could use a raft in combination with the sail:
;-)
True.
Well, Adult Link in OoT is 7 years older than his younger self, who looks like 9
Its a secret to not everybody.
Great, now you've just reminded me of that scene from Never Ending Story and now I feel depressed

I know right?
I actually didn't think they could create a Zelda who was more charming and adorable than Spirit Track's Princess Z, but they did it! Those crazy bastards at EAD3 did it!

Perfect protag for a Zelda Zelda game.
Thanks.
This is the game (provided it turns out good) will make me buy my first ever nintendo console.
That's the same exact voice actor from SS for Link.
There's no music until you get into a fight.
Link is still right handed but the bow looks more important than the sword...which makes sense since everything is so wide and open.
There's an ingame clock on the gamepad. It says 19:00 or 7:00pm for sundown. Might indicate that time is important and certain scenarios are active at certain times. MM or OoT influence?
So far we've seen goats, horses, birds and farmers on the overworld, as well as bokoblin looking monsters and a giant robot crab boss.
Looks like they're taking things they couldn't do in OoT/TP and applying it to this world.
Magic returns...thank god. Stamina might be gone since it would be a nuisance in a more open environment.
Not sure what the point of the cloak is. I think this is his new outfit for the entire game though. I bet the signature green will show up at the very end or as a secret bonus. Only thing I can assume is that he hides his identity with the cloak. Maybe something or someone is after him?
I'm going to assume the overworld is similar to TWW where there is a puzzle and secret along with enemy fortresses and loot spots all over the map. It's fun, but I hope the incentive is high enough for me to want to explore.
Disappointed that the map is just given to you. It'd be more interesting to see it clouded for the player to unveil.
Beacons from SS return and the ability to glide around returns from TWW. Horseback fighting returns from TP.
...there better be towns.

If the map is topological, than shouldn't the whiter area in the north left be Snowpeak? I mean that'd place it in the same area as it was in TP.
While I hope that it's magic, it could esailiy be tied to the slow down thing. Also, I really hope the tunic is in the game, I like the cloak, but I really like the tunic.

WWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!??????
I mean there's this 24 minute one from earlier today where they just throw a few ideas and thoughts around.
The actual analysis video might come later.
Really? Kind of disappointed if true. I like music while traveling around.
Hope so. I wasn't watching any Skyward Sword stuff back before its release so I'm not sure how they go about this.
For God's sake, the game's in alpha and a year away. The music's not there yet.
Yeah, it's probably just the demo.
Or maybe there's only music when you're at a place of interest. Like a "you're getting warmer" kind of thing. :9
Edit: in TWW there are islands with no music. It kind of helps build mystery...like you're at a place you weren't suppose to be at.
Guys, I have job for everyone! I am trying to figure out which of the following 2 theories is more accurate.

Here is a reference for scale:

Dont lie. Everything we saw today was the final game and thats all there is.
No music, no Zelda, no dungeons, no flowers, non control over Epona.
Not even an intro screen. Just a boring empty landscape simulation.
So disappointing.

I'm intrigued just a little. I'd like to see some more actual gameplay though. Is that the correct pronunciation of Epona?

It aligns with Japanese phonetics, but I think most English speakers elongate the E. Eee-pona. I like the Japanese version better, myself. Doesn't remind me of "e-mail" so much, haha.

Nooooo Artax!!
Curiously, while reading The Never Ending Story book back in my childhood, I kept thinking of Atreyu as Link and Artax as Epona, and the places they visited and characters they met seemed to fit perfectly in a Zelda game.
I often found myself playing zelda themes in my head that suited the locations narrated in the book... Being the swamp theme from Majora's Mask what I was "playing" when Artax and Atreyu enter inside that damned bog...
If the first step towards a perfect Zelda is making it open world, I think the second step would be creating a world as magical and full of strange iconic characters as the world depicted by Ende.
Ah the good times...
Just like you would say it in Spanish

Totes, I'd be there day 1!
Hell, if they made a small game out of Zelda's exploits in SS I'd be perfectly fine with buying it; I'd love to see her side of the story.
