So what do we make of the newest screenshot Nintendo shared on Facebook? I don't know what it is but it reminds me of those item posts in ALBW that told Link what item he needed for which dungeon. I'm sure this isn't related to dungeons though, so maybe hits to nearby secrets or something?

Looks like that's where the Korok seeds go... Maybe it grows a tree with rare/special food?

The remind of an Oracle of Seasons tree
We've seen the deku leaf from the E3 demo. So maybe this tree stump is telling Link to use the deku leaf while standing on it or something?
A symbol telling you to use a particular item in a particular area seems out of place with the design philosophy of the game, so perhaps it's like the Timeshift mechanic from Skyward Sword - but a "season-shift" mechanic instead, where that leaf symbol indicates autumn, and an area within a specific radius (perhaps within range of a Shiekah tower's wireless communication) changes season.
..yeah, that would be insane. More likely than not, it's where you plant a Korok seed. There appear to be indents within the leaf itself.

I agree the stump signaling a specific item would be against the direction of the game. I never thought about planting seeds, have we done that in past Zelda games? I wonder how trees would grow...over the course of in game days or through some kind of time travel mechanic?
Oracle of ages had planting seeds and then moving time forward to see it fully grown. Ocarina had planting beans to grow flying lilipads to reach inaccessible areas
I agree wholeheartedly. In fact, it's the approach I've taken with most games I do end up playing these days. Going in blind is the best, it subverts expectations and keeps me more engaged. Now that I think about it, most of the games I grew up with were very much "going in blind" since I watched my brother's play through them.
So you're saying there's a chance! I'm excited for even the smallest possibility of the world changing with time beyond cutscenes into the past.
Given that its the master sword of restoration, I wouldnt be surprised if the whole world is dead when you start and you have to go around reviving it or something

Here's a question- is that stump exposed in the world, or did Link actually cut down that tree in order to expose the stump with that symbol? Maybe doing so exposed a Korok, and this is the symbol for an area in which you already found a Korok?
That tree looks a lot thicker than the ones he normally can chop down though. So I dunno.

Definitely some sort of traveling salesman. The green, red and blue make me think of potions but they could also represent rupees.
Did anyone point out his big earring here? Notably different than his standard earring.

Hm, could that be something like the earrings in Skyward Sword? Where you were able to breath under water or were protected from heat when you got them?
Nice catch.

Donkeys carrying a variety of merchandise accompany traveling merchants in Hyrule. Link will often find them at stables or on the road.
Seems like we called them being travelling vendors.

I didn't know where to post this, and I'm not sure whether of not it deserves a thread. So here it goes.
Apparently we have confirmation that there is no hookshot in the game? I was just checking random interviews and was like... wait what? Did I read that right?
It might be Miyamoto trolling us, but whatever. I was really curious as to whether this game would have some kind of hookshot, and apparently it doesn't.
Link (heh) to the interview

I don't know, but there is also the chance of a grapple hook. Would work well with the physics.
LOL, Nice cover!

I wonder, can NPCs die as well? I can't imagine these guys running into a group of enemies will turn out well for them.

On the back of the Donkey you see a little banner showing Rupees and I noticed they're not as...slim? As they normally are, which made me realise that I don't think I've even seen what the Rupees actually look like in this game, any pictures?

I imagine they can. The reveal trailer showed some NPCs getting completely vaporized.

Releasing really compressed images isn't really a good look for this game. lol

Holy crap has anyone seen the newest Facebook pic?

Not gonna hotlink it just in case people don't wanna be spoiled, but this would suggest that

not only can the Sheikah Slate take pictures and selfies (which we had assumed), but there seems to be another character which can take pictures of you? Or maybe the Sheikah Slate has drone-like abilities??

Ughhh..... why is it still February...
For the record I still think that Zelda's Sheikah Slate is the same one Link uses but in the past. Maybe you can set it up on a magical Sheikah tripod?

Like I said above
it's a Rune. There's another screenshot floating around that shows a camera Rune icon.
Skittzo0413

Does it sorta send out a little camera drone? Maybe for scouting out environments? That's pretty awesome too if so.
I'm not sure, but I'd assume so.
You can see that Link
has his slate in the photo, so he's not alone in that scene.

Praise the sun!
And as Luigiv said above, it's
probably a rune, not another person.
Not probably, is. Picture evidence (spoiler warning! Though I did crop it to remove additional spoilers).
