I'd say it's the desert. There's a valley

If there's one thing I want it's a creepy dark forest with huge-ass trees. I know the Lost Woods is a Zelda staple but we've never had one in a proper open world fashion, should be fun. You know, something like the forest in those Twilight Princess trailers.
I gotta say the trees we've seen so far are kind of underwhelming but hey, we really haven't seen a lot to be fair.
Well, they have those in almost ALL the early Zelda trailers... Wind Waker had one of those, Twilight Princess had one, etc.
I'm guessing that running through a fairly empty forest just isn't all that fun and that's why they always end up cutting it. They'd have to come up with some cool gameplay idea to make it work. In Ori, we have a forest that constantly changes around you, I could imagine that kinda concept working for Zelda. Similar to how Antichamber worked
I don't even think that's traversable terrain. All the area around what could be Snowpeak and the gorge around the north-west of the map is just flat terrain. I'm not sure you can go there.
Actually, thinking about it you're right, there can't be that many... But those 3 plus Epona and (potentially) the unannounced sidekick makes it £50 here. And that's before I've bought the game and possibly a limited edition console bundle...
I wish I wasn't such a sucker for Zelda swag.

Any chance that's a town instead?

I think what he was referring to was the beta-forest from TP. We've seen it, we deserve to play it at some point!

OoT also had that kind of Forest in its beta/alpha screenshots but was eventually cut due to hardware limitation. Sounds like the Wii U is the first system to allow them to go nuts with it.
And it will be glorious. I haven't been this hype (and I haven't seen the internet this hype) for a Zelda game since Twilight Princess.
I'm not as hyped for this one becuase for all I care Nintendo hasn't been able to make a good Zelda since TP... not to sell it short. I love Skyward Sword but it didn't make me feel as much as past Zeldas and similarly ALBW was completely forgettable to me, with its cutesy story and non-linear progression. It didn't really have those memorable moment a Zelda needs IMO except for the very final bit, but that was just okay IMO.
I feel skeptical, but the sheer size of the world and some Wind Waker callbacks definitely leaves me hopeful that this will have all the major beats a Zelda needs to be in the leagues of OoT, WW, MM or TP which are by far the best games in the series IMO next to the Gameboy titles.
But as with every new Zelda the amazing potential it has is as good as ever. I just hope it will have a good story and some really dark and atmospheric moments too, because to me that's kind of a trademark until Skyward Sword and the DS Zeldas. ALBW was actually okay in this regard, it just lacked a worthwhile story IMO.

I don't remember seeing one with Wind Waker actually, are you sure about that?
Anyway just because it'd be a creepy dark forest doesn't mean it has to be badly designed, I'm sure they'd be able to come up with something decent.
Ori looks great btw.
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. That stuff looks so good.
Plus I really feel like the more creepy stuff works better in the more stylized Zelda games. Nothing is as scary as a Wind Waker ReDead, it's the contrast.
You just used Deviantart, romance, and mature in the same sentence. I can't even.
No seriously, what does the DA community has to do with romance in Zelda?
Don't forget "hopeful". He used the word "hopeful".
Good god I hope not. That stuff doesn't belong in a Zelda game.
Have none of you read the articles on ZeldaInformer about Link and his romances? They're really in-depth and Skyward Sword has made a push in the right direction for this stuff to happen for real. Don't look at the article about Link being gay though, it's full of stupid homophobic shit like this header image:

Maybe not 99% of the time but it'll be in there. Maybe this time it's a mid-way point, like the Master Sword usually is. There will be a Link wearing a green tunic on the box art because iconography demands it
So Assassin's Creed press X to blend in?
No. No we really, REALLY haven't.
EDIT: To make it clear; That you would take Zelda Informer seriously is the problem

I'm not sure the terms 'mature' and 'DeviantArt community' sit well with each other.
No, you can, it's just the way you use DevianArt and romance and Zelda.
For my part i think i want less stories in this one, more like the first Zelda where you add some interaction for side quest.

It's not about the stamina bar, it's about the dash! I'm replaying Twilight Princess and OoT 3D at the moment and running around is so slow. There's a reason you're constantly "rolling" around in TP and either side-hopping or walking backwards in OoT. The dash in Skyward Sword was heaven sent (pun intended). I also want the wall-scaling back. I loved Link's mobility in SS.
I don't know if this has been pointed out yet but I found it interesting and kept catching my eye. Around 1:17 in the video Aonuma starts to move the camera to the right but very quickly pulls it back almost trying not to show off this structure in the distance. Its odd shaped and doesn't look all that natural, it looks like a dome like at Epcot in Disney. Also looks like there might be some type of cave entrance to it.
Yup, noticed that too while watching the footage in 12.5% speed ;D
Crystal Dome. Maybe it's a city built out of crystals or glass or a crystal dungeon.
Please do but only with the most horrible of American pronunciations. Make sure to emphasize the "RU"
Ice and Lava dungeon could be connected like that. You could bomb a wall somewhere in the Lava dungeon and make way for the lava to flow to an area in the Ice dungeon which opens a new path there. Or vice versa. Or connect either of them with a Water dungeon. Draining the water either cools lava or creates new ice platforms. Or maybe just have two dungeons intertwined in a cave and you constantly have small holes that you can see through into the other dungeon, maybe without affecting them. Tease whichever one you haven't found yet (because WHERE IS THE ENTRANCE!).
The possibilities....
What if that southwest area on the map is the forest of the dead or some bizarre shit like that.
Then we'd be at the bullet-time problem again. It would have to be AI, even if it comes originally from another player via the net.
You had three days to chill. Play your ocarina and go back, do it over again.
Oh yea, or that! =O
Redeads and Cursed Bokoblins in the swampy Skull Lake area!
They're not gonna release 10-20 amiibo for every major game. Don't worry.
That would be a huge waste of space, though. I expect there to be something there. Desert, gigantic forest or whatever.
That god damn forest is what I've been waiting for since seeing the first OoT shots.
Yea no, that has nothing to do with mature. Zelda is plenty mature already. (The actual mature, not the glorified teenie dream mature)

Haha what? How many home console Zelda games have they made since TP, again? You make it sound like they're on some kind of losing streak here.

Well there was Skyward Sword which was as good if not better than Twilight Princess, and uhm... yeah obvious decline.
I didn't see the words "home console" in their post.
ok no
the answer is now a hearty no forever
I regret looking this up

This came as a huge surprise. Love that they actually showed some gameplay off. Can't wait for a trailer of some sort. Hopefully they won't make us wait till E3.
This and Bloodborne are my two most hyped games of 2015.

This looks like the most accurate mapping of the E3 footage, definitely.I'm going to agree with this now, I had a few more watches and there's definitely no sign of the 'super tall tree' anywhere in the South-East area. Also for the last scene, I kept thinking it was sunset but it makes way more sense that it's sunrise. You can also recognise the mountains as the camera swings around to the East.
This I'm going to definitely disagree.
1. The angle at which we see Split Mountain shows that we have to be almost in line with the split opening (you can see right through it to the mountains behind).
2. The topography of the mountain you have marked shows a very high peak on one side of the river and much lower hilly range on the other side. This looks nothing like Split Mountain. Just compare.
3. We see a mountain ridge that crosses in the foreground in front of Split mountain. As there are only flat plains between Link and the mountain you marked in black, this is impossible.
4. Remember, Link is at a very high vantage point, almost as high as the mountains around him. So I re-assert that Link is almost at the South East tip of the continent.
Just look at the mountain I've marked in red - Spiral Mountain. It even has the spiral on the topographical map!
I asked why you did it, I didn't ask why you thought you could do it.
Your outlandish claim of Nintendo "missing out on fanservice for a large portion of their audience" caught my interest. You vastly overestimate the size of DeviantArt Zelda fans as a group, and that's not even going into the debate over whether or not how many of them would like more "mature" romancing in Zelda games.

So you think Nintendo should pander to the DA crowd who has bizarre obsessions with fanfic level crap and fetishes? Man some of the shit I read about Zelda on the internet on a near-daily basis.
No offense meant of course, but as a long time fan of this series, what you're suggesting is nightmare fuel.

I'm not assuming anything. You just said that Nintendo should pander to "shipping" culture. That's not what Zelda is. There's nothing particularly wrong with the series having relationships or whatever, but not in some kind of Twilight-esque way. Skyward Sword simply suggested that had Link and Zelda not been thrown into this conflict that there may have been something there but it never goes beyond that. It was handled well and shouldn't suggest how things play out later.

How is it a radical departure? And if we're being close-minded, it's because your arguments used DeviantArt as a basis and certainly it's not hard to realize how off-putting that is from the start.

The size of the world makes one wonder how many dungeons there will be and how large/complex they'll be. I'm hoping they feel as natural as the overworld.
In the footage they ran across some dilapidated statues and suggested that there could be a dungeon nearby. That's just awesome.
In one hand, they were trying to implement something like that in Ocarina of Time but I don't remember if time or budget was the impediment... also the fact that is Nintendo will make them better than the romance options in other series since they can't include sex scene at the end as a reward.
On the other hand Zelda games are not so focused in things like that (This one more since they have said they want to take clues from Zelda I and that game was very light in the story department) and also could limit the story they want to tell. That an also the fact that the shipping culture can be very vocal and negative if that one character is not available as a romance option.

That would be kinda neat. Ganon goes back in time and saves himself from being banished.
Actually I don't like that anymore. Let's stay away from time related plot points.
