All these ruins... You can go back in time and see them restored in their full glory, right?

...Like, if there's a really rewarding shrine or chest located in a really tough spot on a mountain that you're supposed to take an arduous route towards, it might take the glean off it if I know I can just glitch-catapult myself there.
Damn. Add it to the list
I still think this is centuries after Wind Waker, and set 100 years after a significant event we know almost nothing about.
Not even counting the koroks or the ancient rock salt:
- land is possibly eroded away from the Great Sea (except of course Hyrule which was protected for longer against erosion)
- manmade plateau reinforcements don't look the same as the Skyward Sword variety... could just be reinforcements to keep the ancient Hyrule land safe (for a time) from predators and further erosion
- rusted sword (possibly moved to a glen to recover, or just a flashback scene)
- blue outfit very similar to TWW (ocean colors?)
- old man really looks like (a descendent of?) the King of Red Lions (who could have easily survived the final Hyrule flooding in boat form)
- guardians are octopus-like, perhaps designed during the Great Flood (or afterwards to ensure Ganon's body wasn't approached...)
- for what it's worth, Link had sideburns in TWW too.

My theory is that there will be timeshift stones and you can change only certain areas to different time with those.
-a sword left at the bottom of the ocean for hundreds of years would look much worse than that.I still think this is centuries after Wind Waker, and set 100 years after a significant event we know almost nothing about.

-according to the description of the blue outfit, it is the Champion Shirt and was given to people who had proven their courage in ancient Hyrule. Its sleeves look like Ganon's from OoT, so it's possible he was given a Champion Shirt as a sign of trust from the King of Hyrule.
-Old Man does look like King Hyrule, just like King Hyrule looks like a descendant of the King from Minish Cap, and the kings of ALttP and Zelda 2 look like descendants. The same people could exist across all timelines, so the royal family would look similar regardless of timeline. This could be the same King but in a different timeline. He did not survive the final flooding because he chose to commit suicide in a very important moment. The whole theme of the ending is letting go of the past and King Hyrule chooses to remain behind so that the past will stop hurting the future. This idea takes a giant crap on Wind Waker's ending. His boat form appears in the final scene where Link and Tetra set sail for a new land and it is a lifeless boat.
-The guardians were designed after octroks from Zelda 1. Aonuma noted that he always thought the octoroks felt huge compared to Link and wanted to design a huge version of them that ended up being the guardians. The guardians die if they fall in water, so they are horribly designed if they have anything to do with the Great Sea.
-According to Wind Waker he had sideburns in OoT, too.
-there's a korok cameo in ALBW.
I agree with everything except for the bolded. Do you have a source for that? It would be very weird for those ancient parts to be specifically mentioned as buoyant if that's the case.
-there's a korok cameo in ALBW.
The mini-guardians in the shrines apparently die when pushed into the water, as was shown in the Treehouse stream. I think it's kinda lame to be honest, but who knows if that extends to the normal sized guardians...
Didn't the large guardian from the e3 2014 trailer go into the water when he destroyed the wooden bridge at the end?
Only if you pre-order the Season Pass.
My theory is that there will be timeshift stones and you can change only certain areas to different time with those.
The Sandship was one of the saddest moments in Skyward Sword for me because. ;o;they're all dead and you can't prevent that
Has anyone talked about the jingle when the Old Man appears?
It's actually Hyrule Castle's theme that has been modified. So that would confirm that the Old Man is the King of Hyrule himself.

My first post here! I noticed somebody posted our reaction compilation of 2 years ago.SirPenguin said:No doubt others have done this before, but to get you in the proper mood I've compiled each reveal trailer from every major Zelda game
Tried to look specifically for crowd videos because that's where the hype is. I live for these poor quality, real-as-shit reaction videos.

Speaking of Skyward Sword, how would anyone feel about any references to Fi? I'm one of those people who enjoyed SS's story, so I'd love it if the game acknowledged her presence in the Master Sword.
All these ruins... You can go back in time and see them restored in their full glory, right?
I expect something like that. They have talked about towns being in the game but say they don't want to spoil how they fit in.
It could totally be that!!!! And would fit with was Aonuma or Miyamoto (don't remember who mentioned it) about they wanting you to connect with the people and have to say goodbye, and that it would be a way of knowing what happened.
So, probably you will access the Past on certain places, where you will be able to discover how was the towns and people before the disaster!! Connecting with characters knowing that they are all dead... Lol
Skyward Sword made some of the previous games implications kind of heartbreaking tbh.Speaking of Skyward Sword, how would anyone feel about any references to Fi? I'm one of those people who enjoyed SS's story, so I'd love it if the game acknowledged her presence in the Master Sword.
I'd love it too. I was one of the few who also really liked Fi. I actually found her more charming than Midna, who was sort of apathetic towards. I also loved her dancing!Welcome!
I for one would be delighted to see that. I'm a fan of Fi, though, and found her dry style amusing. She and Link formed a bond that to me was at least as compelling by the end of the game as Midna and her Link's bond. I know that's an unpopular opinion, though.
Whenever I play Zelda games since playing Skyward, I definitely think about how the Master Sword has Fi's essence within it. Very cool and helps tie together the nature vs. technology concept that many Zeldas, including this one, bring into play.
How do you guys feel about the shrines being really segmented areas? I really like the technology angle they're going with but I think it would've been really cool if they integrated the puzzles into the world itself.
I'm conflicted on it.
Skyward Sword made some of the previous games implications kind of heartbreaking tbh.
Like in The Wind Waker (I played it after Skyward Sword) when youit made me a bit sad.beat Ganon for good and you have to left the sword in the bottom of the sea along with Hyrule
Or the part in Twilight Princess where you get the sword and this happens:
What can I say, I liked Fi and his arc a lot.
his?
I still think Skyward Sword should've called it "The Master's Sword" so it becomes one of those 'names that changes over time' thing. Having it originally being called "The Master Sword" sounds cheap for an origin story.
Mistake, LOLhis?
Doesn't basically every Zelda enemy die when they get dunked?The mini-guardians in the shrines apparently die when pushed into the water, as was shown in the Treehouse stream. I think it's kinda lame to be honest, but who knows if that extends to the normal sized guardians...
You obviously need the Ages Pass to travel through time. With the Season Pass you can only change the seasons, duh.

With how generic the shrine entrances are and how easy it'd be to shuffle around rewards from treasure chests and the like, it'd be really incredible if this game had a Second Quest akin to the original game:
- Remixed shrines with greater complexity and tougher enemies
- Runes are located in totally different shrines
- Powerful items are much rarer
- Tougher enemies are more prevalent
It won't happen, but now I'm dreaming...

Generic shine entrances? How in the world are those "generic" entrances? Give me a break with that.
My, my... I've certainly been appearing all over the place these past few days! If this keeps going, maybe it wouldn't be a stretch to expect me to pop up in a new Zelda game, too...? Ho, ho, ho... I've got some new masks, too, if you'd like to try them on... If I do make an appearance, I'm sure everyone will experience such happiness! Believe in your strengths... Believe... Ho, ho, ho...

1. I didn't mean to imply that the sword was left underwater for hundreds of years, only that the game takes place a long long time after TWW, whereby the sea is deemed "ancient." The ocean could have receded after merely 20 or 30 years or something like that, and/or maybe the inherent magic of the sword is strong enough to withstand that kind of corrosion.-a sword left at the bottom of the ocean for hundreds of years would look much worse than that.

Yes, pretty much every little blip has been discussed here already
I mean, look above you a bit, theory discussions now involve sideburns and whatnot^^
Generic shine entrances? How in the world are those "generic" entrances? Give me a break with that.
generic in the sense that they are all similar, not the design itself. And they are like that for you to easily recognize in the distance the shrines for you to go after them.
Okay, maybe we can't really draw any conclusions from the blue outfit or the likeness of the old man, but I mean, the old man really looks like the WW King, and he can't be ruled out as a WW descendant, however it occurred.
