Its definetly a unique voice. Fast with a little slur or something.
Im fine with it. Can be a little hard to understand at times though.

Sweet mother of jesus. Biggest gaming analysis ever. They sure took their time with this. It was analyzed so deeply they probably found an image of Miyamoto playing an ukulele in some of the textures of the game. Can't wait!
Beautiful. All I want out of this beyond whats currently there is 1080p and better AA.
Hype.

lt's not his voice, his voice is good, great even. lt's his diction. He speaks too fast and can't articulate properly.

I've watched every single video available in the entire world, and no one has climbed the inside of the Temple of Time.
The bow you speak of is on the ground, what I'm talking about is about what looks to be a platform above ground on that left tower.

Better textures+better draw distance+locked framerate+1080p+AA...is what I want out of the NX version. Most importantly draw distance. Honestly if its 2-3x more powerful than Wii U then I think its doable, but it might be a decent amount of extra work.
Based on most rumored specs I'm not sure I expect 1080p. I just want better draw distances honestly.

Yeah, it's pretty damn rough at times. Only blight on an otherwise incredible showing so far. If NX really does end up being as under-spec-ed as rumored, draw distances/pop-in needs to be the focus for whatever extra juice it has over Wii U. Then resolution.
Funnily enough this is one game I totally don't care about optimisation or IQ for.
Watching videos - even like the flythrough above - it looks artistically beautiful regardless of simulation, just like Shadow of the Colossus. It looks like they're nailing the perfect fine line between graphics and art - which is always the best way.
As long as it's not sub 20FPS I'm happy.
Legend of Zelda > Shadow of the Colossus > Legend of Zelda
Never owned a Nintendo home console. Looking forward to making an NX or U my first on BotW's release.

I didn't record it, but I climbed it, I don't know what to tell you. Either that one or the middle one, probably both.

I mean, we saw a fraction of a percent of the game. I think it's okay to show a little more.
I hope they at least preview towns, so we can see how NPCs and sidequests are in this game, and one regular dungeon -- not in its entirety, but enough to understand its theme and gimmick. Also, a glimpse of a proper boss would be nice.

This. I need to know.
Remember when some people here were saying that the music was the worst thing they've heard in a Zelda game?
Good times.
The Steppe Talus theme is straight-up Adjudicator's Theme from Demon's Souls. I love it.
I watched a video just yesterday of what looked to be someone climbing a tower, getting to a platform or floor inside the tower, opening a chest in the corner and it was a bow.
But could be a different area of what you are talking about.

Video link?
I dunno if I worded it incorrectly, but I'm talking about the Temple of Time. If you look at it from the front, it has three 'towers' on the left, center and right side. The left one is destroyed, but the center & right one are intact.
If you enter the temple of time, on the right tower, ground floor, there is a chest with a bow. But I'm talking about there seemingly being a platform above ground (inside, not outside) near the ceiling. Everyone climbs the temple of time from the outside and reaches the center tower, and it does have another bow. But I'm talking about the right tower, from the inside of the temple.

Likely has nothing to do with people getting one-shotted from falls and enemies in the demo.

Since some early TP videos I wanted a really dark night where you need to use the lantern to find your way. Even though I'm very hyped about BOTW I also have feelings that Zelda might be distancing from the direction I wanted for the series.
I wish it was darker at night, but I mainly wish the length of the cycle was longer.
Having played through (and enjoyed) Dragon's Dogma, I never want to play through another game with nights I can't see a damn thing in. Once you get past the initial "Oooo dark and scary, there could be a monster I can't see" appeal, it just gets plain frustrating traveling from Point A to Point B at night...

I think considering the rather large amount of tools you get early in the game to engineer creative solutions to problems, it won't be that bad if you're good at the mechanics. But I do expect to die a bit more often in this game. So, you'll still have to play well but it's not going to be too obnoxious difficulty wise. So my kind of difficulty mode for a generally smooth experience. I don't really like bashing my head against a wall but I do want to engage with the mechanics of game.

What are you even talking about. Modable?

As in Smash you can change costumes etc usual mods do you think there will be mods for this on Wii U too?
Edit: like this for example

That's not even official.
Any game can be modded or hacked, it just needs a community dedicated to doing it.

I can't imagine waking up and seeing the sun already fully out. If it was up to me it would be night time most of the day.
Reddit user Botw_Comp made a list of his Top 10 of interesting Bokoblin encounters. Even if you've seen most of these already (like I have) it's quite an amazing sight to have them all together in one place. It makes me really wonder just how endless the possible interactions in this game may be. (I wanted to post them as images but Gyfcat doesn't work on GAF and GIFs would be too large in data size.)
Anyway, here's their list:

Haha, that look of surprise on their faces at example 10.
I love how quirky the enemies apear to be in this and how they can actually hit each other when they mess up.

Great stuff. I'm glad this looks like it will be an open world game where every fight can be entertaining.

Probably, but expect them near the end, such as the master sword.
I believe in some of the video interviews they asked Bill or someone else if weapons could be repaired and he evaded the question. I think the weapons can be upgraded too, that one they confirmed if I'm remembering correctly.
My guess is that you are going to find some weapons that are very durable, but they will have crappy attack power.
TheMoon

The key difference is that you're swimming in weapons here and you're not farming weapon loot that breaks like in other games. It really is a non-issue from that perspective. You're never gonna be in a situation where you run out of weapons because you can always just pick up the one your enemy just dropped. You probably will never even find the Axe of Love break on you and be gone forever. There's probably some sort of crafting aspect that might extend duration of items or add effects to it but from what we've seen so far, this is all about interchangeable weaponry.
He explicitly said they couldn't be repaired but didn't say anything about finding unbreakable items.
I guess they want to keep it breakable so that your equipment will come to match the difficulty of the area you're in, so you can't get weapons from the hardest area and keep them all game

I didn't have any issues with that. The game is so generous with oil and the lanterns consume so little of it that I virtually left them on at all times, even in broad daylight.

Here's a minor issue I have addressed a few times. But today marks two months after E3 2016, and Nintendo of America's press site still has not been updated to show the subtitle of the new The Legend of Zelda game. It says just The Legend of Zelda for Wii U (name not final).
The E3 press kit is still up, but that's no excuse in my opinion to just ignore updating the main page. It should be just a few clicks in any CMS to update the title of a game.

I can see breakable equipment becoming an issue, actually. You get tons and tons of equipment, sure, but at least the demo also used new weapons as the primary reward for exploration (outside of finding shrines).
And then you got to wonder if exploration feels actually worth it and rewarding when your newly found cool equipment breaks after just a couple uses. It felt amazing to find the Fire Rod in the demo - and it was disheartening to see it break just a couple minutes later. What is the point of finding special, rare items when you have to dread using them? When you can't toy around with them without thinking "I don't want to lose it already" all the time?
Then again, this is assuming the demo is representative for the final game in that regard, which it very well might not be. How exploration will be rewarded so it continues to feel rewarding throughout the game was the biggest question I had on my mind after playing the demo, though.

The point is finding items that break so you can keep searching them.
Which in the longrun sounds more frustrating than fun to me when it comes to more unique/rare items.

It all comes down to item variety I think. The risk of it being frustrating is there, sure, but what I saw in the demo seemed already packed with different items.
Usability done this way is nothing short of great as long as unique items can be repaired or simply don't break. Also encourage play stealth or simply careful with resource management
