Nope, we communicated with each other and he let me make it since I signed up for it anyway. Sorry for the confusion.

Kissenkopf · Feb 24, 2017

Can't wait. ^___^

I heared that they need to stay spoiler free so we won't hear much from the story but hopefully someone will say if the game has music in the towns and villages.

Can we make a non-spoiler version of the throat I don't want to find out any story details I just want impressions about whether the game is great or spectacular

Polygons preview mention no story so that might be embargoed.

Mike Double U · Feb 24, 2017

This game can really top OoT and LoZ and that's wild. We're almost there. Hype hype hype!

I agree with this completely. When I'm thinking of BotW I almost forget that's there's going to be a story too!

Da-Kid · Feb 24, 2017

Griss · Feb 24, 2017

I feel like I've been spoiled so much already but I can't stop...

Problem for me was that I hated the E3 reveal - a lot - so I had to keep following Zelda news to see if it was the game I wanted to be. And... it was! Eventually.

But now I've fallen into the trap of reading everything about the game I can and I'm worried I know too much.

...I'll just read one or two previews. Yeah... just one or two. Or three. Or four...

I actually don't think reviewers are allowed to talk about the story outside of the tutorial area.

Stay out of threads pertaining to the game is the only safe way to avoid getting spoiled. Black out or stress out.

weekev · Feb 24, 2017

This is a whole new, unprecedented game in the history of Zelda.
