An hour ago I thought that Zelda Musou was going to be my game of the show, but I was wrong. Or should I say, I was only half right.

 

[DrunkDan]

Outfit looks like a homage to WW Link's alternate outfit.

Wii U Link = grown up WW Link?

Looking forward to seeing him get the iconic Green Tunic too. Looks to have skyward sword inspired future tech as well.

Now the long long wait.

 

[Beaniedude]

GAF I don't think you understand.

He had a laser arrow.

A LASER ARROW!

 

[Tetranet]

 

[DSN2K]

no master sword, perhaps this is Zelda

 

[Tashi]

Wow, looks stunning. I love me some Zelda.

 

[MysteryM]

It looks very nice but I'd need to see the actual game before I could make a judgement as nothing on 360 or PS3 looks that good. Granted it could be art style, but it just looks too good to be in game.

I hope I'm wrong, I have a Wii U and am really looking forward to the next Zelda.

 

[splattered]

You guys do remember that they debuted Zelda when they revealed the Wii-U and it turned out to be vaporware, right?

And now they show off a few seconds of a scripted open world Zelda game and everyone freaks out again.

Where is the actual gameplay? Who is to say this is even real?

And this makes Nintendo win E3? Seriously?

(I am totally buying a Wii-U next year, and would LOVE for this Zelda game to be the real deal but I am at this point highly skeptical)

 

[Ken Masters]

Holy shit I love this art style, it's going to look glorious in HD, especially with how wind waker turned out

 

[maquiladora]

Link looks more feminine than ever. Don't tell me this is a female Link

What's wrong with that exactly? Gender is a problem?

 

[greenteaa]

Link looks more feminine than ever. Don't tell me this is a female Link

I thought that at first, might just be that he's younger though.
I hope.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

I had to lie down after seeing this.

 

[dan2026]

Why do I feel like this is too little too late.

Why are we suddenly in awe of open world exploration games?
Many games have done that spectacularly.

It boggle the mind that 3D Zelda has only just decided to do it.

 

[Sectorseven]

Fixed camera angle?

 

[Damaniel]

Between this game and Xenoblade Chronicles X, Wii U is fully redeemed in my eyes. Don't know if these games will actually sell consoles, but I'll be getting both on day one.

 

[Vampirolol]

Wow I wasn't hyped at all but now I'm amazed! The artstyle is interesting!

 

[L-gon]

Jesus those animations... reminds me of the demon boar in Mononoke, at the start of the movie.

Agreed. Epona's (?) animations are particularly sublime here as well. Looks like amazing hand drawn animation.

 

[Branduil]

The "Link is a girl" faction is setting themselves up for disappointment so badly.

Game looks awesome though.

 

[Lyonaz]

OOOOOOOHHHHHH MYYYYYYY GGGGAAAAAAAWWWWWDDDD!!!

It's so BEAUTIFUL! I love my Wii U.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

It does look insane for WiiU, admittedly.
If you're referring to the animations, those were obviously canned.

I was referring to the person saying it was gameplay

 

[Volotaire]

 

[Currygan]

that fire, that weapon...that monster, that dynamic fight...

jesus christ. jesus christ

 

[FrankieMcGuire]

Meh :/
Was expecting an other (better) Art style..
More realistic not that skyward sword style again...
Openworld is great but meh...

 

[Soriku]

Link is still a guy. People pls. This is what Link looks like in HW:

 

[SZGF]

Definitely a girl.

 

[Divvy]

It looks fucking amazing

 

[KingJ2002]

Same here... love the art style... when nintendo made the HD crossover i knew they would bring it in terms of originality.


Day 1

 

[Vespa]

Jesus those animations... reminds me of the demon boar in Mononoke, at the start of the movie.

Ha that's the exact vibes I'm getting from this sequence. Love the mix of bold cartoon effects and the more textured assets.

Link's face is a little bland and 'generic' anime looking but everything else is golden. Much hype!

 

[Blackstarhat]

i hate the art style why cant they have the art style look like the tech demo.

 

[alfredofroylan]

You guys do remember that they debuted Zelda when they revealed the Wii-U and it turned out to be vaporware, right?

That was a tech-demo and they were really clear about it,

 

[Smashman45]

I lost it during this reveal. FUCKING GORGEOUS.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Well that cinematic monster takedown wasn't "gameplay".

No, but I don't know why there's even a question that this is from the game engine. It looks like a gorgeous super-PS3 game but it doesn't look impossible.

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

My reaction.

In my veins.

 

[Nintentoast]

So Uncharted, Halo, AND Zelda coming out in presumably Holiday 2015. Could you write a better script?

 

[RPGamer92]

FUCK that looks great.

 

[xxracerxx]

Quick and dirty:

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Jesus those animations... reminds me of the demon boar in Mononoke, at the start of the movie.

yep

 

[Tetranet]

What's wrong with that exactly? Gender is a problem?

People seem to have a problem with a boy being this beautiful.

 

[jmizzal]

The game looks sooo good
And I called this artstyle similar to prince of persia 2008

Not been ultra realistic they can push the open world more

I'm so hyped

 

[kidko]

I will happily wait for what looks like a masterpiece. thank you, Nintengods

 

[MikeDown]

You know, I would be fine with that.

Also, does anyone think those arm wraps are reminiscent of Ganondorf's design from OoT?

So the plot twist here is female link becomes Ganondorf?!?!?!??! M. Night Shyamalan twist right here.

 

[vinnygambini]

It looks insane.

Thoroughly excited, hopefully a Collector's Edition will be announced

 

[puffyshirt]

If we get this graphical fidelity, in a true, no bullshit open world, I'll shed genuine tears of joy.

 

[Dash Kappei]

'DEM BALLS OF STEEL

I can't believe how fucking good it looks... So glad they once again took a chance with the artstyle. It's fuckin' gorgeous. THANKS Nintendo for being so different

 

[ramyeon]

This is obviously a chick

You'd think someone with an anime avatar would be more used to androgynous looking guys

Game looks amazing. I'll be buying another WiiU for this, regretting selling my first.

That Wii U reveal Zelda was just a graphics demo. What we saw today was the Skyrim-inspired Zelda they have been working on for the last few years.

 

[evilromero]

I became a kid again lol

Same. This is my dream Zelda game. It's beautiful.

 

[Struct09]

Looked gorgeous!!!

 

[Duane Cunningham]

You know, I would be fine with that.

Also, does anyone think those arm wraps are reminiscent of Ganondorf's design from OoT?

Hmm... good eye!

 

[Hindl]

Holy shit I still can't believe how good it looks. Incredible I might die
