Anybody figure out the name of the flower in the trailer shot and in the logo?
I think the in-game name for it might be... Breath of the Wild.
Oh shit
That'd be cool. I'm sure the two flowers have a big significance.

Does anybody have the Wii U version on preorder from Amazon?
If so, what's the arrival date for your order? Mine's says March 31. But I also have the Switch version on preorder and it's saying March 3rd of course.

Mine says April 4.
I'm using Amazon locker which delays the shipping but here they went way overboard

Can someone explain why people keep saying there are 4 pillars around Hyrule Castle?
I count at least 5 on the official artwork - possibly 6?

We better be able to climb to the top of The Great Deku Tree. There has to be something hidden in the upper reaches of his branches.

Yeah I think it looks like a regular pentagon shape the way they're laid out. Maybe tied to the 5 tribes/races including the Hylians.
Seems like each one has a character wearing a variation on a blue sash so I'm guessing there is a Gerudo leader we've not seen yet who has one.

I need to stop checking this thread and watching the trailer, it's making the wait unbearable.
In regards to armor; I'm wondering if it will be a case of "whatever has the best buffs for the situation" and everybody will look the same at certain parts of the game, like the water temple/fire temple for example. Or will there be a lot more freedom of choice for the player?
So the races we've seen so far:
Hylian
Gerudo
Goron
Zora
Bird(?) (I don't think they're Rito)
Korok
Interesting stuff.
I think there will be more freedom based on your playstyle. I assume the bulky Hylian armor will produce a lot of sound and therefore be less stealthy, while there's light Shiekah armor with a lower rating but makes less noise.
I hope they show a new Gerudo male and hype it up. And then when you meet him, he's like a 5 year old boy playing with toys. lol.
Hey don't forget the Sand Walruses. They likely don't talk but they seem to be rather intelligent.

Wait what the hell? All the previous artwork and in-game footage of this only showed 4. It looked pretty clear that there were only 4...
Has anyone seen 5 in actual game footage?

I thought I saw someone say they saw 6 pillars, back after e3. Not sure what streamer personality it was though

GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE FROM SWITCH EVENT - POSSIBLE SPOILERS! https://youtu.be/QKK-SFigmtY?t=14m3s - GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE FROM SWITCH EVENT - POSSIBLE SPOILERS!
Best look at the castle we've had I think. The 5th could absolutely be tucked around the back.
Ah ok, I just interpreted them as a riding mount used by the Gerudo.

This doesn't bode well -.-
Well probably that's what they are, but they look like they'll have a bit more personality than just say your horse. We see two flanking Link and the Gerudo girl in the trailer in addition to Link sand surfing with one.

It sure doesn't look like there's one back there... but I guess it's possible.
And this art definitely seems to be coming from a different angle than the Great Plateau. So yeah, looks like 5 pillars. Weird!
I hope so, they're absolutely adorable.
Only four are visible in the video, but it'd be kind of weird for Ganon to have pillars only blocking the front of the castle... and not behind.

Yeah if it's a regular pentagon the 5th one will be impossible to see from the plateau, the art is off to the East, I think you can see the plateau in the distance.
Riiight! Completely forgot about the noise factor, I tend to play stealth mode where possible so this is very cool!

On closer inspection the "sixth" pillar is just one of the tower spires. But there are definitely 5 pillars which form a pentagon shape in that artwork.
However, this doesn't really fit with the 4 beasts we've seen on the map. The fifth central beast is presumably Ganon and wouldn't be represented by those pillars.

Why is everyone seeing only 5 pillars? There are clearly 6..Can someone explain why people keep saying there are 4 pillars around Hyrule Castle?

Sorry for the crap edit, on mobil

This is the first game in the series they can say the game title loudly and then look at the camera with a "yeah we said it"
But proportionally it makes more sense that there are 6 pillars I think, from what I see in the distribution of the pillars in that image

You might be right - as a matter fact, it's actually growing out of the "Z" in the logo for the game!

You should just have it be able to eat through all the veg you collect. while riding I mean.
It's confirmed you can feed animals.
That would be a cool mechanic if you had to give it actual food in order to sprint and different foods effected how fast it moved. Like spicy food would make them run faster.

"Breath of the Wild" is almost certainly going to be the name of that flower - it's growing out of the "Z" in the logo - have a look:
Looks like 7 nodes?
Id be really disappointed if there were only 7 dungeons in the game, even with the 100 shrines.
7 is way more than most people expect...
Yeah, we'd be lucky to get 4 main dungeons and then 3 side dungeons.
7 is a lot...That's more than Majora's Mask, Wind Waker and Minish Cap at least. I'd be content with that for sure.

I would be really, really happy if they went with that. They stated they went with the game's name to signify the open-world, but I would love this double meaning.
7 dungeons would make sense, each of the large nodes corresponds with the Shiekah colossi, while the smaller nodes might be the environmental dungeons.
I wouldn't worry about the size of each individual one, either. Lord Jabu-Jabu is small on the outside but is basically a fish TARDIS.

Does anyone else notice what looks like a MASSIVE tree right behind Hyrule castle? Could this be the Deku tree? It wasn't there at the E3 Demo.

The only reason I kinda doubt this is that during E3 Nintendo said the name was more a reference to the "open-air gameplay" than a specific item in the game. Looking for the quote but I can't seem to find it.
Honestly, I wish they'd given horses their own (segmented, maybe) stamina circles instead of spurs. The spurs just look and feel kinda out of place to me. A stamina circle makes more sense, especially when the horse already has a stamina stat.

So, this is to the best of my abilities, let me know of any mistakes or omissions. The coastal areas are hard to pin down, so the windmill town could also be in the south central region.
Eh, it seems like I haven't uncovered much that wasn't in the '16 E3 GameXplain analysis.
Unreasonable.
Maybe really disappointed was an overstatement. But with how massive and epic this game appears to be, I was hoping the dungeon quality and quantity mirrors that.
I know there will be a lot of shrines, but from my understanding those are mainly going to be relatively small.
I overlaid the Shiekah Symbol assuming the eye represented Hyrule Castle (panopticon, anybody?), this might be a close estimate as to the locations of the dungeons on the overworld.
The upper two large nodes align with the Airship and the Death Mountain colossus (slightly off), not sure about the others.
I'm normally really good at controlling hype. I get excited for games at announcement, and then it doesn't bug me until a few days before release. Haven't had this painful anticipation since... Skyrim?
This fucking game though. Since the new trailer, I can't stop thinking about it (and the Switch). My brain is completely convinced that this will be the greatest Zelda of all time. Maybe it helps that I got a taste when I played it at E3 last year.
43 days to go.

The airship goes all over the place, including south of the snowy mountain. Given that the castle is in the center of the map, the dungeons/bosses placed in a roughly radial arrangement makes sense, regardless of certain symbols.
Same here. I don't remember last time, when I was so hyped for a game. Many other incoming games likes Horizon, ME Andromeda, Nioh it's wait and see approach.
Waiting for the next 1,5 months is not easy task.
Fortunately XCOM2 Long War 2 was just released, so that helps to pass time.

Regardless, it's an important item for sure - being in the game logo and also featured so prominently in the launch trailer.
Could this town be Kakariko Village?
