Looks completely awesome. I'm loving some of the environments and the use of color:

These pictures remind me of world of warcraft for some odd reason.

Samurai please.

To be fair, Link is the main character of this game while in Smash 4 he's merely one of the many characters focused on.

It makes sense there'd be a bit more effort put into his design in a game where he's the prominent lead (and I don't even mind the Smash 4 look).

 

[Deku Tree]

But what about the gameplay?

 

[Kyzon]

It's gonna be hard for Zelda U to top these designs. They're out of the world.

Has there been info on if characters will speak or not?

 

[Anteo]

That Impa looks like a cross from OoT Impa and SS Impa. I dont remember SS Impa standing animation being like that, while OoT Impa has almost the same animation when she is talking about the death mountain. Pluse white hair vs golden hair..

 

[DNAbro]

Maybe?

 

[JDSN]

They have done an amazing job with those designs, the main series ones while great and full of variety have always being shorta plain.

 

[Majestad]

This is looking fucking awesome. Best thing is it should be coming to NA soon.

 

[Francokid1]

I really like the idea that Impa and Shia have a connection. The tan skin, white hair and the orange feathers have me convinced.

 

[StreetsAhead]

But what about the gameplay?

Off the top of my head:
-equip-able weapons to change how characters play
-multiple playable characters
-Z-targeting is in
-Link has his spin attack
-Bombs are usable on enemies and possibly for environmental puzzles too
-Weapon & character upgrade system of some kind
-2 player mode where one person plays on the TV, while one plays on the gamepad.

But what about the gameplay?

It's playable at E3 so hopefully we'll see then.

Samurai please.

Why Link looks so bad in Smash 4
Scarf DLC please!

 

[georly]

Maybe?

Best comparison yet!

Edit: Wow, too good. Totally correct.

 

[Sendou]

Well there you have it!

 

[georly]

Well there you have it!

Wow, pretty ignorant. There are tons of people over the age of 12 that actually like boobs.

 

[Hindl]

Well there you have it!

What does that even mean? How is this alienating players?

 

[ArchedThunder]

Well there you have it!

I wish he would stop talking.

 

[Isotope]

Shia looks a bit like Twinrova IMO:

Their hair is white, they both wear robe-like attire, and on their helm, they both have a gemstone-like style on their head (Twinrova's is one, while Shia has two).

And of course, their breasts are similar.

 

[georly]

What does that even mean? How is this alienating players?

Because only people 12 and under like boobs, I assume. Sex only sells to prepubescent boys. Also, everyone over 12 should be mature enough to automatically hate anything with gratuitous cleavage.

Gets him clicks, I guess. Good for him.

 

[tanooki27]

i'm not a huge dynasty warriors fan but this game looks better and better. if it's decent, it'll be another solid reason for me to pick up a wii u.

 

[DNAbro]

Well there you have it!

Dear god he just LOVES attention doesn't he? He probably get's off to it.

 

[Aostia]

Because only people 12 and under like boobs, I assume. Sex only sells to prepubescent boys. Also, everyone over 12 should be mature enough to automatically hate anything with gratuitous cleavage.

and don't forget that this is the first and only and last female villain in a Zelda game having boobs clearly visible too!

 

[MagiusNecros]

Well there you have it!

Well he talks like a 12 year old.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Well there you have it!

Wow, srlsy ? for a pair of Polygonal boobs ?

 

[Timeaisis]

God damn this game looks gorgeous.

Also LOL at Kuchera (as usual).

 

[ironcreed]

Well there you have it!

What a wet fucking blanket. Oh no! Can't have a tad of cleavage showing on one character.

 

[Phamit]

Well there you have it!

I hope he prepares some nice charts

 

[Reknoc]

Well there you have it!

I was hyped before, but kuchera's terrible tweet has made me even more excited. anything that offends him (everything) has to be good!

 

[cafemomo]

Of course Polygon would have something to say about harmless cleavage

 

[mentallyinept]

Well there you have it!

...This guy.

Can he just not help himself?
Is Polygon that desperate for clicks? Is he?

 

[Principate]

Dear god he just LOVES attention doesn't he? He probably get's off to it.

Isn't he the guy who compared the PS4 controller to the first time fondling a girl?

I'm not really sure he's in a position to talk...

I just don't get how this is the game he's criticized for this. I'm sure there's tons of games he's supported that are worse than this one character. And it's passing over the incredibly well-designed and tasteful Impa design

 

[GulAtiCa]

I wish people would stop giving him attention.

 

[Currygan]

I never cared for this, these screenshots and artworks made me jump on the hype train, and I don't even like DW gameplay


also,

 

[Kouriozan]

Well there you have it!

Someone didn't play past Zelda games

 

[mentallyinept]

Back on topic...

Impa looks amazing. I might have to pick up the game just to play as her.

 

[Son Of D]

Well there you have it!

I'm unfamiliar with this guy. Does he often say stuff like this?

 

[spandexmonkey]

Can't see the forest for the trees. Seems typical of people like him.

 

[OmegaSmash]

Well there you have it!

I'm loving how everyone is focusing on Shia, the non playable (so far) villain and not the fact that Impa is finally playable.

 

[BuggyMike]

I'm on my school's computer and they block damn near everything. I'm reading all these posts about how good the new screens look and all I see are watermarks :'(

 

[Hindl]

I'm unfamiliar with this guy. Does he often say stuff like this?

Yes he's one of my most-hated 'journalists'. There are some people in the games media I just don't care for, but Kuchera is awful

 

[georly]

I'm unfamiliar with this guy. Does he often say stuff like this?

Stay that way.

 

[mentallyinept]

This tweet is especially egregious, but his credibility on GAF is in the toilet due to past transgressions.

 

[vgamer1]

These pictures remind me of world of warcraft for some odd reason.

That's because WoW was designed to have a ton of people everywhere (wide pathways and open areas and the like) and this needs the same sort of design for all of the enemies.

 

[Tempy]

Stop giving 2-bit game journos/reviewers attention.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Impa playable is amazing, but that Shia character looks awful. Why, Nintendo :/

 

[Deku Tree]

Off the top of my head:
-equip-able weapons to change how characters play
-multiple playable characters
-Z-targeting is in
-Link has his spin attack
-Bombs are usable on enemies and possibly for environmental puzzles too

-2 player mode where one person plays on the TV, while one plays on the gamepad.

It's playable at E3 so hopefully we'll see then.

Looking forward to learning more about it.

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Well there you have it!

I'm 12 and what is this?
