Definitely getting Archer Link

 

[ohlawd]

They just confirmed in an interview that the game will have no towns. They clarified that it's a Hyrule in ruins and they took direct inspiration from the world of the NES LOZ. They did confirm that there will be a handful of stray NPCs throughout the world but no towns or villages in the traditional sense. Also, they claimed that link will not have any kind of partner and will be exploring alone for the entire game.

cool. no towns doesn't bother me one bit

 

[linkboy]

i want the gamecube you have.

It's called a Wii U

 

[Effect]

I can imagine the town situation could change as you get further in the game.

 

[User1608]

Fine with no towns, they will be missed though!

 

[Lyonaz]

Good god, I NEED that Amiibo!

 

[Makonero]

Not liking what I'm seeing and hearing about no towns Reminding me a lot of Xenoblade X where I much prefer games like Xenoblade Chronicles.

Really hoping my fears are unfound and this turns out to be an incredible game.

Xenoblade X had New LA.

A Zelda with no towns at all makes me super sad

 

[Formless]

There's no real towns in the first Zelda or in Dark Souls. Still, very disappointing for me as a fan of Majora's Mask and Kakariko Village.

 

[Like the hat?]

Amiibo info coming up next. I wanna see some nice slow pans of that archer amiibo.

and I got it, thank you Trinen!

 

[ffdgh]

No Navi or partner character? YES

Link and his dog wolf named link going on an adventure. It sounds crazy enough to work.

 

[suavelicious]

Can I watch the Zelda footage from the beginning anywhere?

 

[friskykillface]

Towns should have been in

Where is zelda in then? Alone in a destroyed castle?
There always needs to be a hyrule castle with people in the game

Oh well

 

[BitStyle]

Zelda was talking to Link earlier in the stream - telling him where to go etc.

Oh...
Well if it's sparse enough I won't mind it.

 

[Laevateinn]

Sounding like an infomercial now. Call now and get your Amiibos for 3 easy payments of 13.99.

 

[Diprosalic]

I'm not so much upset as seriously shocked, I was really expecting big guns.. I've been hoping that the NX will entice me in and be my first Nintendo console since the GameCube but this is just not good enough, the industry has moved waaaay way beyond this, it's frankly a little embarassing...

this is a wiiu game dude. why would you judge the NX on this?

Damn, it's pretty much a Zelda 1 remake then.

this is amazing, returning to the roots, pure exploration, no guide, goa nd explore the whole field, try to find secrets, so freaking good

 

[DecoReturns]

I'll wait before passing judgment on no towns.

If it fits the story, I'm find

 

[PKrockin]

guys, where are all the rupees?

haven't seen any, and don't see a wallet or counter for them on screen

I'm guessing they're replaced by the gems they've been mining/finding in chests.

 

[Cuburt]

Now I need to buy that Twilight Princess + Amiibo pack.

They just sold me on this and I had no interest before.

I'm not even mad, this is good integration.

Power him up on one game, play him in another.

 

[RoadHazard]

This is the Zelda that my 6yr old mind imagined after playing the first game (and watching the cartoon)

Well, sure. But TP was the first time I actually thought we were getting something like that, and we absolutely didn't.

 

[Unlucky]

But that does not look like Epona.

 

[Draxal]

First of three that they'll have. Seems like the zelda line will have more of them.

 

[Version 3.0]

Oh shit. It's real? Someone is trying to dump the game onto an sd card.

Nintendo could be really cool to us all and put the demo(s) on the e-Shop...

 

[Chezzymann]

Oh well

What if she's not captured this time

Aw really? I have been cleaning so haven't been able to pay full attention. Did they really say no towns? That is a major disappointment to me.

Excellent. Bring back that Zelda 1 style isolation.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

I wonder how many shrines will be gated behind the purchase of Archer/Rider Link Amiibos.

 

[atbigelow]

Oh no I'm liking this Amiibo integration less and less.

Hearts based on content from TP:Remastered.
When wolf link is KO'd you have to wait 24 hours before you can call him again.

Bad, and disappointing.

24 game hours, not real ones.

I am absolutely fine with this.

They are really going for it.

Don't mind this at all. I really prefer this kind of desolate, lone adventure rather than a bunch of towns with NPCs bothering you with fetch quests.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

No towns? Oh well. Not the end of the world

 

[BD1]

No towns... At all?

First thing I've not liked.

 

[p0rl]

Lots of good stuff so far but no towns is a MASSIVE downer for me.

That and putting wolf link, a genuine game-changer, behind an Amiibo. That's not cool.

Went from hyped to conflicted :/

 

[Kouichi]

I love the idea of Hyrule in ruins like the original, so I'm perfectly fine with no towns.

 

[Anteo]

Is this true? That absolutely sucks. There was also the rumour of only 4 dungeons too.

I am not liking what I'm hearing about this game at all. One of the great things about previous Zelda games was coming across a brand new unique area and interacting with NPC's, taking part in mini-games and side-quests before you set off on a dungeon.

I don't want a Zelda game where you basically just roam an overworld that is mostly barren with a few monsters here and there.

I never cared about npcs, mini games or side quests in games. But seems like this game is still not for me, too open ended for my liking. Exploration is cool, but just like in X, it isnt enough for me.

 

[GhostTrick]

No towns ??? Wtf is that ?!

 

[KarmaCow]

It's not like the towns in previous Zelda games were anything worthwhile anyway. If they actually push the solitary exploration/survival angle, that's more than a good enough replacement. I'm just not convinced yet that they can do that.

 

[GregLombardi]

Ive been with Zelda since NES. Im fine with whatever they do about towns if the game looks and plays like this. Go nintendo!

This just keeps getting better, and better for me.

 

[Neoleo2143]

Absolute loneliness. I'm surprised they took their theming that far.

 

[Busaiku]

Chiko noooo

 

[Parablank]

Wh-what? That's so upsetting. People have always wanted MORE towns, not zero instead of one.

If that's the case is there a reason they're no voiced?

Idk maybe there'll be enough NPCs that we don't need a town... idk...

I spent like half my time on Windfall Island for Wind Waker, just talking to different people and trying out the different sidequests.

so disappointing

 

[BitStyle]

Guardian amiibo looks really nice

 

[TheFatOne]

First Zelda in a while that I'm actually hyped for. Looks great. Love the art style. Not a huge fan of the weapons mechanic because I don't like managing inventories, but I can live with it.

 

[SweetDonuts]

We can see a castle in the distance and in the official art, and in the trailer. It has darkness surrounding it.

I meant if Hyrule Castle will have a town around it like it normally does

 

[perfectchaos007]

Who needs towns when you have the beauty of the natural landscape?

 

[Jonbo298]

Bendable legs. Neat.

 

[Laevateinn]

Bill is invincible. He's bounced back from being fired before. He can get away with destroying prototype Amiibo if he wanted.

 

[munchie64]

Looks great. Was pretty happy with everything I saw.
