Saw on twitter that in Netherlands. Wii U copies are being sold already. Broke streetdate?
Can't really link it since I'm on mobile.

Yeah I hope the next game is minimalist like Majora. I say this because I don't see how BOTW could be any bigger.
Lmao. I love how overreacted is Link's jump. Looks like a WWE moment.

So again, where do they go after this? I'm almost sure the next one will be a handheld or handheld-like installment because it's going to be another while until the next "major" one and we'll likely see more Zelda games ala Link Between Worlds, but it'll be interesting to see what they come up with for the next main one.
Seeing as it would probably be Switch exclusive, they might want to take full advantage of the hardware. I'm expecting a more realistic but still cartoony character design ala Ocarina or Majora 3D (though I love cel-shading), they might go for the same open-world structure in a different land entirely - maybe Termina, Labrynna, Holodrum, etc. I can't imagine another linear 3D Zelda considering how well this game has been received so far.
Something to think about is... I mean, BOTW's open world size and quality is apparently insane, so where do you go from there?
If the next one was also another huge open world but perhaps in a different setting, would people still find it derivative or too samey of BOTW? It's not a Skyward situation where the last game divided people on the direction of the environments; I wager the majority will really like the open world here.

Dude I would absolutely lose my shit if we can tame and mount a big cat or a flying animal

I'm fine with waiting a long time for another big Zelda game like Breath of the Wild, a big Zelda release is a generation defining event. I would quite like another top down one similar to A Link Between Worlds but in a brand new setting.

Next game (after a 2D installment) should just be the MM to Breath of the Wild's OoT.

I know it won't happen but with everything Breath of the Wild seems to achieve I would be quite satisfied if this was the last Zelda installment. I don't know how they can possibly top it.
Let's not talk crazy now
It obviously isn't the last one and the series will probably never end but I feel like Breath of the Wild has set the bar too high. Where does it go from here?

Nintendo can use the template of BOTW for the next four 3D zeldas until people start calling them out
As I've said before, we've gotten to a point now where 3D Zelda games have become rarer than Nintendo consoles. Call me crazy but it wouldn't shock me if the next 3D Zelda is released 2 generations from now.

I'm cool with Breath of the Wild being the only 3D Switch Zelda (though another one in a few years would be sweet), would be nice to have some other experiments like a 2 player take on Four Swords using the Joy-cons.

you're crazy
Every time I watch the January 13th trailer, I see the first 7 seconds of water and think of that Wind Waker quote from Ganon:I was randomly watching the intro to Wind Waker, and there's a panel that looks an awful lot like Calamity Ganon...

Also, there's a lot of rain in the trailer. Hmmm...
I don't think that's likely. In terms of 3D Zelda we got 2 N64 games (Majora borrowed a lot of assets), sort of 2 GameCube games because TP was on the Wii, another Zelda on the Wii pretty late in its life, and a Zelda sort of for the Wii U.As I've said before, we've gotten to a point now where 3D Zelda games have become rarer than Nintendo consoles.

I think it's safe to say that they will use the ever living shit out of this engine.Basically I think it's safe to say the next one won't be another gigantic open world Hyrule.

Hadn't a load of their games been using some modified engine for years?

Nintendo spent so much time on making this game. There's no way they won't reuse the engine.
I feel like a Majoras Mask situation might happen. Smaller world but more compact.
Or 2D game. Both are good choices.
They may use the engine but that doesn't mean it'll be another open game set in Hyrule. They may want to take it somewhere else and include a new set of mechanics. And style. Just hope the style doesn't outclass the substance.

These physics applied to Pikmin would be wonderful.
Just wait till they "run out" of ideas for a fantasy setting and shift to a different setting. They said they did for Galaxy.Let's not talk crazy now

Took the words right out of my mouth. This is just a really ridiculous thing to say but I bet its how so many people feelI mean, right?
The language being used, by industry voices I respect a GREAT deal, almost has me terrified. My love of this medium has evolved quite a bit as Ive grown, and I've never stopped loving all manner of Nintendo releases, but there was a pure wonder that I remember once feeling in my early youth (early 90s and some mid nineties) with respect to games. If Nintendo has managed to create something that can truly take me back in time while I'm an active participant in this world they've built.... I barely know how I'd deal with those emotions
Guys, we are what, 4 and 1/2 days away (give or take some hours depending on where you are) from Zelda Breath of the Wild.
Is your hype level rising? Mine is now, as we approach release.
