The Legend of Zelda "WiiU" confirmed for 2016. Wolf Link amiibo compatible.

 

[Mato]

Been waiting to re-see the footage again before I weigh in. But what is there to say except it looks fucking stunning. Left me breathless, it was so unexpected. So good.

 

[Storm Chamber]

*Christmas 2016

 

[KooopaKid]

Not trying to start a war, but I find it more beautiful than Witcher 3. The grass and animations look better. It's the animation. Last year, in the Games Awards footage, Link running animation didn't look as good compared to Epona's.

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

Just announce a collectors edition for this already.

 

[pinkurocket]

It's all about that grass.

 

[georly]

Link has a giant sword.

Why?

 

[Malus]

Those clouds are dope.

I hope they take a note from Xenoblade and come up with a bunch of different types of grass lol. It's a crowd pleaser.

 

[Based Calla]

I thought that when it got around to Link, instead of 2016 it would just say "CANCELLED." Thank god it's still coming to Wii U.

 

[DeepEnigma]

That art tho!

May have to cave and get a Wii U (or wait on NX if it looks good at E3), and have this be a first Zelda game I really dove into since Link to the Past.

 

[Satch]

Nice she's hooded like she is in the new 3DS hyrule warrior game.

the greatsword she has looks amazing, i cant wait to play her

 

[majik13]

very nice. Giving me a Miyazaki/SOTC vibe. As has been noted before. So yes, I am in.

 

[-Horizon-]

Link has a giant sword.

Why?

Its actually cloud.

Guessing that's the default heavy sword weapon but the bow will be the main weapon.

 

[Kinokou]

That's a girl. Omg yes.

Me too! Why else hid under the hood!

Already confirmed to be boy

Canon Link will always be male. But options doesn't hurt, just look at Pokemon.

 

[BY2K]

LOOK AT THAT BIG ASS SWORD

 

[sinxtanx]

I got you:

AAAWWWW YYYIIIIIIIISSSSSSSS drug addiction is a serious disease

 

[Chû Totoro]

So beautiful. It's really really gorgeous, art style is incredible. I now understand why Zelda games are always my most awaited ones. And this one seems to be really ambitious.

Nintendo

 

[Akhe]

2016

 

[Gsnap]

Me too! Why else hid under the hood!

haha. We've seen that hood come off a few times already. It's already confirmed it's not a girl.

I don't even care about this boy girl crap anymore. The discussion has well past it's mildy interesting stage, but as of right now we have no reason to assume that Zelda U will feature anything other than regular old Link.

 

[Brumfieldhm]

Wow!!

Anyone notice the details, such as the new shield ?
the low clouds and mist on the landscape, and the pieces of grass floating in the wind? stunning.

 

[sinxtanx]

neat pouch

 

[valouris]

Is it just me or does the world look a bit smaller than initially shown? It would make sense, especially after those complaints about how empty it was. I am liking the verticality a lot though.

 

[blu]

Wow!!

And the goats, man, the goats.

 

[sinxtanx]

maybe a tent

 

[Kouriozan]

It's all about that grass.

Link loves grass after all.

 

[brandonh83]

I'm getting heavy Zelda + Shadow of the Colossus + Miyazaki vibes from this.

What that means, actually, is that it could be the greatest game of all time.

 

[Mato]

The land looks very intricate with a lot of vertical variety, reminiscent of SOTC. Awesome.

 

[Tsokolit]

the legend confirmed

 

[Dragonoise]

Geez, that sword is about as tall as Link. I cannot wait to cut down all that grass.

 

[sinxtanx]

teeny tiny watch tower

 

[Gsnap]

neat pouch

Kinda looks like a book to me. But yeah, the shiekah vibes have been there since even the first reveal. Might hint at a change in origin or overall story.

 

[Kissenkopf]

Can't wait for the 35 minute long Gamexplain discussion video of that 5 second teaser!

 

[gconsole]

Just sold my WiiU. My only hope left is NX version.
But to be honest. For the game that only show just grass and tree so far. It won't be able to make it anywhere near the first half. Maybe 2016 Xmas.

 

[KooopaKid]

Yep. The first open-world game with rolling hills lol...

 

[sinxtanx]

the most inviting landscapes in video games

 

[Gsnap]

Yep. The first open-world game with rolling hills too...

I'm sure there's a good few open world games with big hills, but I get what you mean. Those hills are pretty significantly "hilly", whereas a lot of games are usually more flat than that when it comes to their basic locales. It's a nice sight.

 

[The Boat]

maybe a tent

I pitched a tent alright.

 

[sinxtanx]

first(?) glimpse of the ocean(?)

 

[Kouriozan]

So the Amiibo transform you into Wolf Link?

 

[lukeskymac]

Looks as sparse as the VGX demo.

 

[Gaiaknight]

i love how many times they said wii u during the segment 3ds and wii u arent going out quietly in 2016

 

[Red Devil]

Looks as sparse as the VGX demo.

Ah yes let's make veredicts on 5 seconds of footage.

 

[Tathanen]

maybe a tent

Yup yup yup, the hood, all the stuff packed up on Epona, you're totally gonna be basically living out of this horse and the land, probably have item storage in their somewhere, moving camp from place to place, UNF!

 

[ReyVGM]

.

Is that a volcano or a huge-ass Mana tree in the background?

 

[andytjm]

These 5 seconds make this look like the greatest game ever made.
Damn!

 

[sinxtanx]

Ah yes let's make veredicts on 5 seconds of footage.

I can make a verdict on these 5 seconds

I'm gonna play the fuck out of this game

Is that a volcano or a huge-ass Mana tree in the background?

Volcano, Death Mountain

 

[nom]

The NX remaster is gonna look amazing

 

[Gsnap]

Yup yup yup, the hood, all the stuff packed up on Epona, you're totally gonna be basically living out of this horse and the land, probably have item storage in their somewhere, moving camp from place to place, UNF!

God I hope so. I really want to be out there. In the open world.

 

[Deleted member 74300]

Link has a giant sword.

Why?

Why not?

 

[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]

Is that a volcano or a huge-ass Mana tree in the background?

Tree, Big Deku Tree
