Thanks, it looks like there probably won't be any unbreakable items in the game. I just hope the puzzle design is good.Literally every input is taken.

Fuck that a power up is just a power up. A game with armor and equipment should let me get a weapon I call my own. Even if I have to pay extra
Yeah. I'm all for emergent gameplay but the magnet was really rubbing me the wrong way. It looked awkward and it's probably not a gameplay style I'll latch on to.
Well we'll see how the final game is. Maybe you'll get what you want. But based on what we've seen, I'd say people need to prepare themselves, because breaking and switching weapons regularly is clearly a big part of the game.

Nope. All I got from X was a big area but without anything actually interesting to do in it. The worst kind of open world. It looked nice but that's worth some good screenshots and not much more to me.

This is the best way to make loot useful. Finding weapons in other rpgs boils down to: does it have a better stat? Good, use it. If not, it gets lost in a sea of other useless weapons. Finding weapons will present a choice, should you use it and risk breaking it? You have to decide if it's worth using at a particular moment. Very exciting gameplay implications.
Like you say, it's not like you'll be stuck without something, you'll be able to pick up any weapon your (relatively similar size) enemies drops.
I think about it every once in a while, and then I try to prepare myself for disappointment.
Also, for those wondering about puzzles, if you haven't seen it, the two extra shrines the treehouse showed off were awesome. Puzzles look really fresh because of your skill sets in this game. Not having one right answer for Zelda puzzles is something I've been looking forward to for a long long time.

I think it'll be pretty good Puzzle wise because they give you so many flexible tools at the beginning of the game plus they can ramp up complexity immediately after the Great Plateau, like imagine using Magnesis to position plates that you then use Cryonis to create ramps which you then use Stasis to fire a large projectile up said ramp to hit something. That's probably a puzzle that'll pop up and that might not be the only way to do said puzzle, the Puzzle is not recreating the designer's line but similar to stealth games in that you have a set of tools and you try to mold them to make them fit the problem. That design ethos pervades Zelda tremendously even for a simple a cliff face you can either go around or you could use a combination of rushrooms, magnesis + Paraglider Trickery and Stamina replenishers to scale it in addition to observing the cliff face. Of course, you might not be able to do that if the face is too steep or slippery which may force you to go around.
I think this is very important considering the Stat System in this game is actually pretty simple, they kinda have to put low durability into the game to force people to use the other tools in the game. Though the Throwing mechanic is genius. Not only does it allow getting rid of items from the quick slot menu, but it rewards stealthy play for players who steal weapons by providing them with lots of potential bonus damage.

I think they nailed it with Skyward Sword. Link's lips was the only thing that looked off. Otherwise, it was a beautiful blend of TP with a more cartoony look. Absolutely beautiful game. I can't wait for the remake to see it in HD.

I really like the intimate relation with weapons on Zelda games so I hope we have this option.

Twilight Princess had the best adult Link design, but he was just so boring in his own game.

How does your lips look? He had good lips in Skyward sword. He looked very good, like michael jackson in the bad era.
Like the whole hybrid concept is neat and all but for some reason this is the thing that's getting me hyped the most about the NX.
Yeah, they were good lips, strong lips, the best lips.

BOW's Link would be my favorite Adult Link design if not for one thing.
It's completely missing his hat, and Link has always looked better with his hat on.
Hopefully, it's somewhere in the game and just hasn't been shown yet.

Nope his face is ugly af. OoT 3D adult Link is best Link design.

How can this man's face be ugly? If you're talking about the 3d model I see your point.

I wonder if hats are going to have their own item category.
We've seen that head scarf thing, and Link's traditional hat is probably there too, so I wonder if we're going to get more headwear options?
Maybe they will be included as "hairdos"? Since we've seen Link with different hair too.

There are no Stalfos so far. Stalbokoblin are variants of Stalchildren.
Yes, I was talking about the in-game model. The official art does indeed look great!

Back to topic: I don't think that the Master Sword will be breakable. But this means that we'll get the weapon pretty late in the game, I think. There might actually be other "legendary" weapons that you could find scattered throughout the world that don't break or last for a very long time. That would be really cool.

Yep, hopefully he's as expressive in cutscenes too instead of another TP style stare at everything Link.

Those poor bokoblin, just trying to have a good time at the campfire with their buddies, and then some crazy elf boy comes and murders them all.
Link is a very attractive young man who makes all the girls and boys turn their heads when he walks by. Prime example:

A. It's Zelda not Ninja Gaiden Black
B. Like most Zelda Games you will encounter more difficult enemies as the game progresses.

They're right
Z-targeting is the only way through the Souls series.
Not in the early game
I'll do all my looting, smaller quests and exploring on the handheld and connect to the TV for the main dungeons and bosses... Please NX be the rumored handheld and not just another PS4/XBO.
Affirmative.

I'm still hoping that the Master sword ends up being something like a Rune that makes a summonable sword. That way it can still follow the established weapon "rules" of the game, like being able to be broken, thrown for extra damage, and lost, while still having a level of "special" that should be given to the Master sword.
From watching all the videos that came out around e3 it already seems like the "best" arrow in the game may already in that kind of situation though.

That was very interesting. I am not a musician so I can't discern everything going on in what I consider to be the background, but it's good to know that they put much effort into those things also. I believe it affects you, if not directly, then subconsciously.
That would actually make sense. Depending on the cooldown I would probably even bee cool with it.
My biggest fear with the durability system is that I'll be hoarding all the good stuff for "when I really need it" while beating the whole game completely naked (Link,

heavy weapons like the claymore seem very clunky.
What do you expect?
Reminds me of how bad I want the Dark Souls trilogy to come to NX.
I'd love this, but my more unrealistic desire is to see a From Software exclusive/collab on a Nintendo platform in a similar setting.
Never happening though.

You're looking at the E3 demo. None of this stuff is new footage from a new build.
