Hey, calm down a bit. He/she is clearly trying to sound as negative as possible. This is still a kind of opinion (even being provocative). Just don't reply to the posts anymore.
On the other day, I was really thinking something like that. Like, as there are many mysterious tech stuff in Zelda U, would there be parts that Epona can use? When Link can use the special arrow, Epona can also equip some parts to speed up or walk on the surface of the water. Just pure speculation.

Well in Zelda 2 link had those water walking boots, and Link's Awakening had the flippers... I think bringing back either of those would be pretty cool and quite welcome. Maybe the flippers let him swim through water like the Zora transformation in Majora's Mask, or potentially even faster than that.
Edit:
Sorry, it was probably a bit harsh, I figured he was trying to be negative just to sound negative which gets annoying. I also don't like that "Miyamoto ruins everything" rhetoric being passed around since it spreads easily and some people probably just aren't aware of the facts behind it through no fault of their own. But you're right, it's best to ignore people when they're attempting to be inflammatory.

Not sure but I have a feeling this game will be tech-heavy.
Not the complete focus but even a step beyond some of the things Skyard Sword did.
And by the US government if Epona is a Diesel horse.

Maybe the dark world always exists on the gamepad.
Maybe you use a "phantom-brush" on the gamepad in order to wipe away the "darkness" at regular intervals in order to see the screen.
I was also hoping for the big-ass pompadour, but ridiculous bangs will do.

That's what I was thinking. The character in the image is definitely female.
There's a whole interconnected world under Hyrule, where all the dungeons are located and that can be accessed through multiple entrance points in Hyrule field.

well it was possible in more than one zelda game.

Also, i hope that Zelda, assuming she is in the game (duh...), is not a damsel in distress. I'm now used to her being capable to manage situations by herself, OoT, WW, Hyrule Warriors and TP to an extent spoiled me.
And now for the unpopular opinion, keept character customization out of the game. Keep Link as a character, and give people the option to switch the roles of Zelda / Link, making Zelda the heroine of the game and Link the "dude in distress". Or let us play as Impa or a new female character. Sheikah warrior sounds nice, for example.
*If you are lucky, constantly F5-ing Amazon and really manage to hit the 2 minute window of being available.

Nah, it sure would be available world-wide.*

I hope so. I still feel and believe that's the best way to play Zelda. Playing Twilight Princes HD after messing around with Skyward Sword confirmed that for me. The old controls just feel so blah after Skyward Sword.
Not really no.

Love the majestic piece of artwork. The art isn't quite as striking as Skyward Sword's but it looks stunning nonetheless.
The artwork looks to be expertly drawn with anatomy, lighting and posing all perfect making it a point the 'unfinished' look is clearly intentional. I feel this carries the essence of the game design in Zelda U, presenting you with a well-built and solid world, but not every detail is laid out in front of you and you can explore and discover your own path filling in the details of the game step by step.

Remember when Aonuma said a few years ago about making this Zelda game without the idea of a player having to "play by themself"? I wonder if they'll unveil what they mean by that next week.
Maybe one player can be Epona while another player is Link?

Yup. That glowing arrow, mechanical octorok and tech-like Sheikah symbol are all pointing to a tech-heavy Zelda. I like this direction it is heading. A clash of fantasy and sci-fi could result in a very special game provided that the handling is well. From what I see from Skyward Sword, I am very confident that the team can do well.

Board the E3 hype train! Nothing can go wrong as we go full steam ahead!

That's a good analysis. I've also noticed that this and the last art piece had that "painted" motif, sorta giving you that unfinished feeling. I wonder if the "painted" look will have some bearing on the story/focus/mechanics of the game, or if it's more like you said- it's a nod to a wide world full of mystery and hidden secrets.

Why the hood then?
Isn't that similar to what Zelda would wear?
The eyes and shape of the face look very feminine too.

I said he looks like Sakurai in the new art and your post confirms it.It looks just like Link and HE looks great.
Only one I remember is Windwaker and that was after New Game +.
All your looking at is the face and cape. Weve seen it before. Your over analyzing here. Link isnt that gruff and tough looking

I feel like I just traveled back to E3 2014.
I could see this game following Triforce Warriors lead... Or even Majora's Mask's lead by having multiple wearable outfits that give Link different attributes.

I can see that. Maybe it's a mirror world, where the "down" of the real map is the "up" of the other one, sort of like the stupid hollow earth imagery.
I'm sure Nintendo will come up with something nice.
Not familiar with this news. Wasn't it only zelda?

I think that's likely too. It will probably have more RPG equipment mechanics, if that giant sword from the 12 second teaser is anything to go by, so I would imagine lots of different sets of clothing and armor as well.
Actually that's a really cool idea, the inverted underworld sorta like Dante's Inferno. ALBW was fairly similar to that idea though it wasn't really an underground world, more like a mirror dimension. Either way, yeah I agree that I bet they'll have something really neat and compelling.
It was likely originally only Zelda but last week Nintendo announced that they'd be showing other games in the stream, including Pokemon Sun & Moon and Go, #FE, DQVII and VIII, etc. Zelda will still be the only playable game as far as we know at this point.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night already did something like that.
Honestly, if it's a real open, explorable world with lots of secrets and random strangers hiding in caves under bushes telling you to take this because it's dangerous to go alone, i'm down.
Maybe the world is going to change during the game, as that enemy from the first showing looked like an ancient golem like thing, so maybe the world changes the more of this ancient stuff comes up.
Or we have an underworld, where you explore those ruins.

It was announced that year. It was originally a 2015 game.

Nintendo dragging their feet.
I can't help but feel that the Wii U could have been better off if they prioritized the new Zelda game over everything else.
