You should probably read the 50+ reviews that diverge from that minority opinion about Horizon if you want to get hyped.

Maybe you can do it later on?
Strange that they'd just let you mount it without letting you tame it
I learned how the poultry industry worked from ALTTP

@MikeDiver from Waypoint:
People surprised that BOTW is an Edge 10.
You won't be when you play it.
Oh yes.

We can hope. Maybe some stable in another area will register them

Don't know if this has been brought up yet (and if so, ignore me), but apparently, GamePro Germany rated it a 94.

Seriously I'm watching the video again (relink) and it's just straight up magical (and I really wish other outlets could record with quality this good).
I know the texture quality and visual artifacts of BotW aren't up to console standards or whatnot, but watching that video has convinced me that they've really got something special with this art style, a goddamn playable Ghibli film. Tasty.
No, I've read those. The Waypoint guys weren't even negative about Horizon, they both thought it was a good game, one more than the other. Just that Zelda seemed so much better and aligned with my tastes.

Yeah I was seriously hype as fuck about making a deer my main ride haha so I'm gonna be real bummed if I can't have a deer companion
Your version still looks like it's a bunch of primary colors straight from the tube well the official pics look like they come from a mixed, complementary pallet.
I mean it doesn't make me want o vomit AND go blind so it's better then the first mix, but it's still ugly.

I'm gonna check every corner of the guide to see whether there is a way to register deer. If not, I hope Nintendo patches it in.
Here in New Zealand that will be midnight launch time I think. Haha. Too bad my wife is working night shift... I could be among the first in the world.
Yea, really good podcast. Between that, the review, and all the other glowing impressions, it makes me feel silly for ever doubting that they'd make a compelling open world to explore.
I will never understand why people love ugly crushed blacks like that.
It feels like over correction to the age of "brown and blur" so that anything that's supposed to be colorful now has to "primary colors with the saturation levels up to 11!"
Were most artists even going for a colorful look will say, bland a little bit of the main color into all the other colors they're using to help everything feel cohesive, and keep most of the saturation at lower level so that not every single thing is equally popping out and competing for attention.

Fair enough. : ]
OMFG HAHAHAHA
Are there any spoilers in the video? I've gotten spoiled way too much and don't want to watch anything else if there's a chance I could get spoiled.

Nah, no spoilers
Proof why the game is quite fair and even forgiving(if that were in question with a Zelda game). Link's I-frames save him from death. In a game like Dark Souls or NG, he'd be dead several times over.
I agree with you somewhat. Definitely about the top left. I think the bottom two in the original could use a bit more contrast/saturation but not as much as I used. Like I said, the only one I was paying attention to in editing was the top right, which is the only one that (IMO) was 100% improved.

So, how much better does Zelda play on the Pro controller compared to the Joy-Con?

High praise coming from him.
This was absolutely hysterical. I couldn't stop laughing as he was being constantly bombarded with explosive barrels.
PLEASE DON'T LET THIS BE ME IN THIS GAME.
Thanks guys. Just finished watching it. Very funny. I love how smart the enemies are in this game

Reading the EDGE review I can see where two camps are going to be divided on this game in the future, but honestly it might all be for the better. Well, as long as the various elements within the game can feel cohesive and not just a bunch of disparate elements tacked together. I think its going to be impossible to process without playing, since the joy of the game seems stem from the totally unpredictable nature of what happens in the game world.

Oh dear, lmao
just saw this on his twitter page
Subject to change, of course, but thus far, preview impressions:
Zelda: Breath of the Wild is shaping up to be Nintendo's Magnum Opus.
if this is even remotely close to true....fuck

Yeah, he's in love with the game for sure. And I don't think his opinion is going to be unique.
