Not to interrupt the hype train but I'm assuming there are no BotW previews for Wii U? Does it run in 1080p or 900p like the Switch version? I already have a Wii U so considering getting it for that and getting the Switch when a price drop happens or at least when it's back in stock on a regular basis...

Didn't the embargo sheet literally spoil this and answer your question?

I think it was already confirmed that the Wii U version runs at 720p. No way a system less capable than the Switch is running the game at a higher resolution
900p on the Switch in the dock, 720p in handheld mode. No previews for Wii U, but it runs at 720p. They're pretty much pushing it out for Wii U owners but won't be marketing it at all
720p with post AA (similar to 3D World).
720p

Can I take pictures and turn them into awesome figurines to collect? If not Wind Waker still the best Zelda.

yesss looks great. Much more visually interesting than the plateau. For people who are underwhelmed by the visuals look at stuff from the towns etc
Honestly, part of my excitement stems from the fact that this is just such a huge leap from Skyward Sword and the other 3D Zeldas.
I'm used to a lot of environmental, weapon, armor and combat variety in open world games... but to see it all in that Ghibli-esque art style with that Zelda flair, weapons and costumes and shields specific to certain tribes... it's the intricate, fleshed out Zelda fans have been asking for since Ocarina.

During the Q&A at the last nintendo results briefing, miyamoto said that this zelda emboldened various nintendo teams to try to create more unique games. I feel that koizumi and his team will try real hard to make mario odyssey phenomenal too
Thanks all. I guess it makes sense it wouldn't look as good on older hardware, I was hoping it would since it was originally in development for the Wii U only.
What does "post AA" mean? I thought 3D World looked good, well for a Mario game anyway.

Honestly only skipped trough it very quickly, as my publication will only appear way after NDA, and I'd rather go in clear (having read some spoilers in the past on those sheets, I am cautious). Same reason I didn't read previews (also to,not have my opinion muddled)

Can you at least be considerate and put that shit in a spoiler tag & link tho?
People are generally really good with that in this thread.
Lol those facial animations of that bokoblin are gold xD.
It's like the dark souls of Zelda games.

more gifs pls
Yeah this and Horizon in the same week is going to break some of our cards
While horizon looks high end gfx with a nice environment I think you rather can't compare it to Zelda. I would place it beside the witcher, dark soul and skyrim. Zelda is just a whole different game. Horizon and mass effect are good games, but it's more of following the story, while zelda is about experience the magic world and playing the story.
Personally looking at all games, Zelda is groundbreaking. It new and fresh with their physics engine, it hasn't been done before, same happened with splatoon and mario galaxy. Thats what I love about nintendo.
But like music, it's not that you only like one song, enjoy both.

At that point I dont think anyone should even be watching stuff anymore. Some people gone have their games and switch early in the week and then at midnight.
Understandable, Andre from gameexplain hasn't read his either, but his guest said the list spoils stuff they didn't even know about. And giant bomb said they went to the first dungeon after 25 hours, so it's probable a YMMV situation as everyone starts from different points and the story is something you have to seek out, but you can just beeline for it according to another preview.

Someone else on here said that the switch refuses use full rgb mode when docked to the tv, even when selected. automatic seems to always pick limited.
His tv is set up to be full rgb so it might be what is causing the washed out look.

In addition to this, I wonder what part the GamePad would have played in the game, seeing the Sheikah Tablet in-game.

Mostly fine, there are dips in some areas, drops are infrequent but they will happen. Does not hamper experience. Handheld mode sees less drops overall.
jeez, blue bokoblins are tough...hard flipping strike with a big axe, and it took like a milimeter off his life bar (pre-falling off a cliff...)

They'd probably die (or run away) quicker though, Wolf Link is the only one that can have exponential hearts (as it's based on the stats your Link had in Twilight Princess HD)

This axe is a pretty bad weapon, but it's very good for cutting trees.
I would say so
I was spoiled for
the blood moon
Pretty much. I feel like reading/watching so much content about the game so close before release just makes you enjoy the game less.
Despite being the creator of this topic I haven't actually read or watched any of the previews/gameplay.

Sounds alright. I can deal with some occasional drops.

That's also one thing I'm really excited about in the game as a huge Ghibli fan and it seems the game has also some deeper themes. I'm just over the moon with all these previews.
Come on don't be ridiculous now. I mean how do you want me to spoiler tag that?
"You can do something with a dog. Click the link below to find out what you can do with dogs."
*spoiler link*
Pls... again if you don't want to know and see anything outside the Great Plateau my advice would be to stay out of this thread.
Nintendo doesn't consider that a spoiler otherwise it would be under embargo. They got a huge list of things they aren't allowed to talk about yet, petting dogs was obviously not one of those things.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
A spoiler thread for this game is too dangerous to exist

Wha? I guess zelda is groundbreaking if you've only owned a Nintendo system your whole life
