It looks amazing! 2015 is when I'll finally buy a Wii U. I won't lie though, I was still hoping for the kind of look we got with the first tech demo :/

Now we need to decide where in the Zelda timeline does Link get a sex change.

im confused

idk if this link is a girl or not, but what explanation is needed aside from the same explanation we get for why link looks roughly the same every game? reincarnation doesnt mean you reincarnate as the same gender every time. hell, it doesnt even mean you come back in roughly the same body.

About time Zelda took some inspiration from Zelda, the game that came out nearly a decade before the first Elder Scrolls game.

Not actually that important
Looks fucking stunning. Like Wind Waker on steroids, EXACTLY what I fantasized about. Almost brought a tear to my eye.

But 2015? :(

Wait, you really thought it'd come out together with Smash and just a couple months after another Zelda game (Hirule Warriors)?

Pray it doesn't slip to 2016 instead, we should be super happy if it hits holiday 2015

At first i was thinking that was Zelda on the horse because of the long hair. Link is turning more feminine by the game.

Why does he look so stupid?

never left the stone age
Well, any chance of me not owning a Wii U is now gone. Dead and gone.Love Link's design, blue shirt/tunic 4 lyfe.

Yea if nothing else Hyrule Warriors has (mostly) great character designs.

The only good ones in that game are Link and Impa. I guess you can count Midna, but that's just her TP design, there wasn't much Team Ninja could do to fuck up her imp form.
 
I'm really not liking the way Link looks, the game is still far off though so maybe that will be changed. Everything else looks incredibly beautiful though.

Link is really looking like a girl. Any chance it might be true? Link is reborn for every game in the story, so why not have this one be a girl... it could work. Maybe Zelda would be a prince?

At first I was kinda taken aback by his appearance but I actually think he looks pretty fucking awesome. Way better than he did in Skyward Sword, that's for damned sure. Is he maybe a bit too effeminate? Probably... but that's par for the course.

If I had known a Zelda game would look this good when I was a kid I would have literally shat my pants.

no master sword, perhaps this is Zelda

I thought that at first but then we get a better look at the face and it just looks more "Linky" to me. Lack of the Master Sword could be point in time for the trailer, like he's not even in the tunic and I think if it was Zelda or another Hylian they would make it more clear (longer hair, maybe a crown/tiara if it was Zelda).

Looks fucking fantastic though and if they deliver on the open world promise (and hopefully give you the option to skip or dramatically reduce tutorials) this could be a truly special Zelda.

Imagine what it would look like if nintendo weren't a generation behind in the hardware department. Looks good though.
 
Based on the fire effects from the attacks, I am so hyped to see what Death Mountain looks like in this game. I have such a soft spot in my heart for stylized/cel shaded fire effects.
 
I absolutely love the art style! It's close to something I had in mind for Zelda for a looong time. Like a dream coming true lol.
