Not only is the sword huge, it looks like it's been used quite a bit. There are scuffs and scratches along the blade's face.
Holy shit you're totally right. Holy shit. Even in the gameplay demo they cut from twilight back to day.

I feel like the sword confirmed one of my biggest hopes for the game, multiple fighting styles based on the weapons you're holding.

They removed all previous images for some reason.
The rock textures sure look great in this screen, but we'd have to see them up close to be sure.
Can't wait to see what this looks like on NX. Or if this is the NX version or not.

Looking closer, maybe it's not? Usually the sword is in a patterned sheath, but that might not be the case here-- if not, if almost looks like a stone sword.

I'm glad, because I never fully completed the Wii version after putting about 20 hours into it and feel I'd be lost going back.
Now I don't really need to plug my Wii back in! Crappy system.

Isn't there a higher chance it's a sequel to TP, since the amiibo is compatible?
Ok Nintendo, I was only joking when I said that I would be fine with a 5 seconds gif lmfao

Isn't there a higher chance it's a sequel to ALttP since Link is a girl here?

The art style completely stomps all the other 3d Zeldas. Looks so good.

The hoodie and the linkle reveal making it pretty obvious you will be able to choose the gender in the next Zelda.
God, I hope.

Did you ever read the hyrule historia? In that, aonuma says that while they want to always give a cool backstory, world, and general plot, they always think when making zelda games about their mechanics and gameplay, so of course there will be inconsistencies in these games since they prefer to give a game with a certain general theme rather than try to make it connect with all zelda games or anything like that. The zelda timeline only came up because they generally give little hints about past zeldas or sometimes even make straight up sequels, but i don't think they ever intended to make a super coherent storyline or anything like that.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Well from a technical perspective games are already doing more than that technically with more intensive assets as well, (see Witcher 3), so to say that nothing is going to top it is a bit...well misguided. Moving foliage is incredibly par for the course at this point. It seems that they're using lower poly assets for most things, still looks gorgeous tho.
If NoA finally releases Xenoblade Wii on the eshop I might really be set for the year, specially now that bought Binding of Isaac

Eh, I kinda doubt it actually.
The more I think about it the more suspicious it is that they haven't shown any footage of the night, even cutting away from sunset to daytime in the Game Awards footage. They must be hiding something about the night.
Then again, there's a whole lot we don't really know about this game.

Link is and was always just an empty container for the player to fill. Nintendos focus on female players, female developers and their output over the last 4-5 years simply leaves no other conclusion. Especially after the Linkle reveal.
Yeah, I bought it when it first came out. Probably read through it three times or so every so often

So does wolf link compatibility suggest that Wolf Link will be playable? Will Midna be back?
Yes, it does suggest that. But it won't actually be the case.
Are there any other tidbits in the footage besides goats and birds and daisies? What's that thing on his belt? A book?
Someone suggested earlier that perhaps you you can choose Links gender, which is a pretty neat idea. Even though Link was fairly feminine anyway, slight changes in the features when you choose male or female would be pretty cool. It's not like they'd have to change the story arc, Links always been too smart to get romantically involved.
I was struck by that as well. Seeing the color and vibrance of Zelda U felt like waking up from a nightmare after being dumbfounded by seeing TP SD in HD.

that wont stop anyone from shipping female Link with every girl she meets
I can see Nintendo doing that, they have been pushing female playable characters more then any other dev, and had the first female action game hero

I'm a little worried! I want the same thing as you but we didn't see as much open field as we have in the previous two trailers and I feel like the game world has been different in each one. I want the huge fields of grass to gallop through like in the E3 2014 trailer.

Hood Link don't play games.
Yep, seems like it.
So happy Nintendo is giving the Wii U it's swan song with Zelda U.

All these people who still insist this game is going to move from the Wii U to the NX. lol.
Why not both?

oh my
Even in that short clip, it blows my mind with all the cool locations and creatures that are grazing across the planes of (what's supposed to be) Hyrule. Depending on when it's coming out, I can't wait to play the demo at PAX Prime next summer.
I also hope to see/hear some Pikmin 4 information. I just completed all the game's challenges, and it's a fun game.
