Tell that to Fantasy Life Q_Q

I wouldn't be surprised if there was someway to ride it later on in the game.

most likely yes, but for whatever reason the NintendoLife dude wrapped around and grabbed on to the side of the boulder that was going to be traveling directly into him. Probably a bit smarter to grab on to the opposite side
The catapult didn't work in the NintendoLife video, but it does work here

Easy Allies 50min video with commentary.
From the first few minutes I learned that bombs float on water and you can push them along.
lol.
edit: a bit embarrassing that he doesn't realize that he has spherical and cubed bombs and brute forces that bomb trial puzzle with a spherical bomb instead of doing the smart thing.

Ugh I hate when your inventory gets full to fast. I hope this won't be a problem in this game.

Don't see how if you pay attention and don't pick up every single random weapon an enemy drops. Because that's what everyone in the E3 demo is doing. Pick up everything all the time.

To build on this, during one of the interviews during E3, I believe it was Aonuma who said that he heard people talk about how Link could put the Ball and Chain away in his pocket, and how it wasn't exactly realistic he was lugging that around. Which is partly what drew him to the idea having a limit to your pocket. You can still carry a lot of stuff, but maybe it's more reasonable!

And you don't wanna cycle through 50 boko clubs to find that one sword you found.
So much haters in the comments >.>
Seems like none really watched the video before commenting too.
People should link this thread to all their videos since people don't understand/see the features of the game, lol.

They said you can expand the inventory slots later on.
Besides, weapons break, so you are supposed to always be freeing space up as you use them. And, they also provide a survival aspect to the game.

So, the towers are called resurrection towers. I have a feeling that the theme of resurrection goes further than something like resurrecting Link. He was just asleep.

He even landed on the water. Amazing lol
They're not called resurrection towers, they're called Sheikah Towers. Only the shine where Link wakes up is called Shrine of Resurrection.
The tower on the Great Plateau is called Resurrection Tower, but I'm sure that's just the name of that one tower because it's next to the Shrine of Resurrection. Since the towers are Sheikah Towers, they are probably all named after a nearby Sheikah installation.

Maybe Link is resurrecting the continents underground, and you find out the world of Hyrule is just earth.
hes been asleep for 100 years, yes. but maybe that doesnt mean he wasnt ressurected. example: hero of time dies. they ressurect him but keep him in contained in stasis,sleeping, until the time was right. i mean its called a ressurection chamber
Plus the machine he was asleep in says "care unit" on the side, so it's clearly been healing him.

It also worked in the DigitalFoundry analysis video. He even used time stop and fired some arrows, before falling on the ground missing the water and taking damage.

Right, it's totally possible. I'm just saying there's a chance that isn't exactly the case.
I would expect a chamber designed to keep a person stable for 100 years to provide care.
Speaking of the care unit
Finally found a video where someone ran around the thing so I could fully confirm the text. Could only see "NITCARE" before but here you can see it repeats CAREUNIT over and over. IE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensive_care_unit

It's stuff like this that gets me the most excited. The sort of emergent gameplay possibilities using logic and the physics and outside of the box thinking will be simply unlimited!
I read your little thought experiment and instantly dismissed it but then I carefully considered it and think it or a variation of it will be feasible!

I hope that when you "throw" the master sword, a laser shoots out of its blade instead
I was just thinking about it and you know: whichever timeline this is, the technology involved would be the first time the sword beam could be "realistically" explained as ancient sheikah tech that augments the blade with laser capabilities.
Lasergun blade in my Zuruda plz

I watched about 30 minutes of gameplay last night and it was good, but it really pales in comparison to games like The Witcher 3 and Horizon Zero Dawn in visuals.
Well yeah but 1. I'd take something that challenges gameplay conventions and looks like BotW over yet another high fidelity open-world game (we have enough) and 2. It's a Wii U game so if you were expecting otherwise you've only got yourself to blame.
The sword beam was in Skyward Sword, the earliest game in the timeline, the game that gave the Master Sword a built-in computer AI.
Of course it does. But considering the hardware its running on it looks damn good. Hopefully the NX version is more than just an upres.

Technically yes, but the art direction is so much more interesting to me.
Obviously those games look great. Cant wait to try Horizon, and while Witcher looks great I wasnt blown away by the environments on PS4. But neither of those games have impressed with the scale of their environements. In Zelda it seems you can see actual destinations leagues in the distance no matter what direction you look. Not saying that isnt ever the case in the other games but much more prevelant in Zelda. Just screams vast and epic in alot of the footage.
Yeah, in the second Witcher expansion Blood and Wine they improved the draw distance quite nicely, but it still doesn't quite capture some of the distances on display in BotW.
Also I get the impression that Horizon is gonna be 'open' sections like Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Horizon is completely open world. It's not hubs like ROTR.

But it's all driven by paths, which I don't really get in universe but whatever.

In a world where civilization has been reduced to tribalism, why are there clearly built paths that would need much more coordinated civilization to create without interference from the deadly robotic dinosaurs. These paths also aren't part of the old world either. I don't really get it.
It'll happen dude, embrace it.

Open world? Yes.
Absolutely right!
Ooooh, can't wait to skim through this! Thanks for sharing! The quality looks really good!
Skyrim is that you? This games is gonna be awesome.

Can I just say that all of your Hylian text analysis has me seriously considering making my first tattoo a word in hylian text. I just love the look of the text so much and I was heavily considering making my first tattoo a Zelda one anyway. You wouldn't happen to have a template with letters that you could share in case I really decide to go through with it?

I already have a Triforce tattoo, I'd also be interested in this template in case I expand on the piece someday.
Absolutely right!

lol wtf
Absolutely right!
Daaamn. Can't wait to see what kind of distance one could get once this is combined with deploying the paraglider at the top of the trajectory..
Someone made this that is pretty good: http://image-cdn.gamnesia.com/33976/1__large.jpg
The person that made this assumed what J and X are. There are no words in the BotW that we've seen so far that contain J, Q, or X.
There's also this one: http://zeldawiki.org/images/1/15/BotW_Hylian_Language.png
This is the one I made from screenshots:
It's possible this is Sheikah language and there could be a separate Hylian, but I don't see that happening since the ancient technology in Skyward Sword used Hylian.
Here's a list of Hylian translations from Skyward Sword: http://zeldawiki.org/Hylian_Language_Translations/Skyward_Sword
