Damn it, now its starting to bug me that the reflection is all wrong
GAF doesn't give a shit about any reflection being accurate. That Wii U pic has been around for ages.

The selfies feature and Nibel's posts alone make me want to get a Wii U for this.

First person combat could be interesting in the next Zelda, if they bring back motion control.
Link making a duck face while making photos of himself would be kind of awesome

HOW CAN THEY NOT HAVE FIXED THIS!!
His arm still goes through his shield....
how? would it really be that hard or are they being lazy.
this might be a small thing for most people but it annoys me massively.

In the Gamespot video it sounds like it to me. I don't know why anyone would expect the soundtrack to change, especially when considering the battle music syncs to the action that's happening on-screen. They didn't change OoT3D's music they certainly aren't going to here.

What is hero mode? Scrolled through the first page and didn't see an answer.
Edit: Thanks Neit and Big
Edit: Thanks Neit and Big
So here's what has me interested:
- Potions to recover health in Hero Mode: Since there are no heart drops in Hero Mode, your only way of recovering HP is through the consumption of potions, and potions naturally have limited charges, just like the Estus Flask in Dark Souls. Since you will presumably have to buy potions, this also means rupees have more value now. And since you take double damage in Hero Mode, you'll actually need potions, and thus rupees.
- Photography and Miiverse: The Tingle Bottle washes up on random shorelines and contains Miiverse postings by fellow users, creating the sense of a living, breathing world... not unlike the bloodstains in Dark Souls and Demon's Souls. Add to this the many ways to take photos -- Miiverse screenshots, first-person camera, and self-shot photos -- and more picture slots for the camera, and there will be many interesting Miiverse posts to wash up in the Tingle Bottles.
- Ease of navigation: The Swift Sale ramps up your speed, and you can turn freely without regard for wind direction. But if you want to sail normally, you can now use the touchscreen to change wind direction. The touchscreen will be fantastic for inventory, as well.
Those are the three main points I'm interested in. As for what I'm not sure about... The soft shadows, as indicated in the IGN write-up, and the excessive bloom. Hopefully it works well in action. Is this 1080p 60fps?

Enemies deal double-damage and you can no longer find hearts scattered about the environment.

I've never even noticed that.

Gamexplain's preview confirmed it's 1080p. 60 fps seems unlikely as that would require redoing all the animation

Hero Mode sounds pretty tough. I'll go for a normal game first.
Holy shit the selfie is hilarious!

Having witnessed someone playing the Best Buy demo, I can confirm they rearranged the Helmaroc King battle theme. I fail to see why they'd change it just for the demo.

It's animation related and since they're not redoing animations it's going unfixed. Not a big deal, it's barely noticeable in gameplay. If you notice it though then... you're SOL lol.

First-person? Ick.
First-person viewpoint needs to stay as far away from games as possible.
Double ick.

Who cares?
No game is ever and will be 100% perfect.
Extra challenge is nice and all, but the most exciting implcation of this for me is the ability to skip cutscenes - if I recall correctly, that was Hero Mode only in Skyward Sword. This game could be speedrun-worthy yet!
Zelda Gold, please
It's gonna be piss yellow

Only prerecorded cutscenes were skippable in Skyward Sword Hero mode.
That's interesting. It was hard to really hear the music in the Gamespot video so I don't know, the music sounded the same to me. Maybe they only rearranged some tracks but not all?...
