There will probably be a Zelda Direct when HW is about to come out with another teaser, then something else in November or December, maybe.

I never thought I would need to buy a nintendo wii U.... FUCK!
I have loved the zelda games since a young kid and it has always been my favourite game series. I never bothered with the handheld ones and for some reason I found skywards swords boring and never bothered with it.
This one does however look like they are back on the right track ones again!
Holy TITS I will be getting a Nintendo wii U for this !

I'm sorry my friend, but you're just gonna have to wait until later this year or 2015. It sucks, but that's just how it is.
ShockingAlberto made a good point about maybe getting a teaser in the Hyrule Warriors Direct, which seems plausible.
That's the best we can all hope for at the moment.

Yeah unfortunately nintendo is going to be nintendo. However I would think Nintendo would market the shit out of Zelda for Wii U, seeing how bad the sales have been for Wii U. This game is a system seller if I ever saw one.

Could that transforming arrowhead double as a sword hilt for some kind of lightsabre sword and other items? Looks like he has a quiver of normal arrows and a separate one with that big thing on the end.
It kind of looks as though the blue blade that comes out of the mechanism is actually a hologram, not a physical object.
Some people have speculated that the blue material may be the same as the Timeshift stones in Skyward Sword (which the ocarina of time itself was made out of). It would be interesting to see how this mechanic could be used in a weapon- maybe using it to send enemies back in time ?

Idea for open world concept of Zelda U.
Since you can go everywhere it seems to be possible to go to a area, complete the area (done every sidequest and dungeon) and never come back. How about something like that:
After you entered a certain point of the map, a villager in village X (village X is in the area you had done) gets extremly ill and his family can't get out to get him medicine. So if you go in village X the quest will start he says he is extremly ill to you and he wants medicine otherwise he will die. You have a certain amount of time to get him medicine. He says to you his friend told him the medicine is slime droplets so you have to defeat the slime and get him that medicine. Now you have two options: Do nothing-> he will die and his family will be very, very sad similar to Majoras Mask and a consequence will follow. Or you help him. If you helped him, he will give you 150 Rupees. So the thing his, he mails his friend in village Y (area you are new) that you rescued him from dying. When you appear in village Y he will know you and another sidequest is start. The consequence from doing nothing would be that the sidequest won't start because the villager didn't mailed him. So after you had done the unique sidequst from the villager's friend he will reward you with something special (heart container, new item etc)
How do you like that idea? It gives the game depth and it avoids that the area is completely done so you can get back to that area with new thing to explore and to do so the area will never become unecessary until the game's very end.

It actually looks like a gas flame to me. Perhaps you can use it for cooking minigames?

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Do people not remember or understand that nintendo hosts their own thing during tgs? sure they're not technically at tgs, but they might aswell be.Why you destroy my hopes? lol

Unsure if I'll do a blackout with this one, I did with Twilight Princess and it was amazing to go in knowing nothing. Skyward Sword's trailer showed a bit too much, but was still fun.
Hopefully this is a reasonable expectation, but I really hope we get an increased variety in terrain this time. I don't want the overworld to be filled with just the same worn-out scheme of grasslands/forests, fire mountains and deserts. They're okay, but I think we're long due for more kinds of environments on top of the norm.
I think you wont be able to complete area like that . It will probably open a new part after you do something in the story like Tp and SS

Pretty basic quest line, reminds me of something from Dark Souls. Like in number 2 how you can SPOILERS
start Creighton and Pete's separate side quests, and as they continue it ultimately boils down to a fight between the two with you deciding who lives.
Great gamexplain out pointing out the details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADv9KmOcETY&feature=youtu.be&a
Stuff I didn't notice were things like the shield on the horse and all the saddlebags as well as the snake-like statue.

Kinda wonder if they would include a full trailer for the new Zelda in with Hyrule Warriors as an incentive to move some units.

Amazing.... Looks like they really want to make a living breathing world.
Which would get uploaded in high quality to the internet within hours of release.

Why is the trailer not on their official channel? It's like everywhere else, but I need a HQ version. T.T

Well Skyward Sword and ALBW are 90+ games on Metacritic and GameRankings .
Despite what some people on GAF may say about those two games, it makes sense that people would be excited about the next entry in a critically acclaimed franchise.

Two of my friends didn't play any Zelda since Twilight Princess(almost 8 years) and now they want to buy the new Zelda after the reveal trailer. I think that most people know about the existence of Zelda(and it's quality) and wait for a entry that attract them to jump in.
Link making that cool move when you press A just after killing an enemy is another thing that I want for the new Zelda.
Silly, but really cool imo. XD

Confession time GAF!
I've not played any console Zelda games.
I've played and completed Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks, and found them both fairly average and repetitive.
Where the hell do I start with console Zelda?

Ocarina of time 3d maybe.
It really doesnt matter, you can start with all of them.
A Link to the Past is a good place to start imo.
Then you can move onto Ocarina of Time 3D, followed by Majora's Mask.
I also highly recommend Link's Awakening and the two Oracle games, along with A Link Between Worlds.
Twilight Princess.
I think Wind Waker is the best place to start. It's the best looking, and it's the easiest to get if you have a Wii U.
OoT is kind of the default classic.
MM is the strange, stressful, genius peak.
WW is the middle of the pack, with a tad too much tedium.
TP has the best dungeon design, but a really boring connecting world.
I hated what I played of SS.

Wow, you chose a pretty bad (subpar) set of games to start out.
If you have a 3DS I'd definitely make OOT 3D a priority. If you don't like that, give up on the series
And then you can play MM 3D when it releases next year (hopefully)

....
If you didn't like Spirit Track's dungeons or The Spirit Tower(Basically the puzzle design), I don't know if you'll like any Zelda game.
:/
It's basically the console games with a train.

I'm actually a big fan of Spirit Tracks and Phantom Hourglass... probably because they were also the first Zeldas I've played
I've since branched out more, but I still need to finish... well, most of them, really
Despite it's flaws I think Phantom Hourglass is a very well made game, and I'm with you on being a big fan of Spirit Tracks. That game was a total gem. The Spirit Tower puzzles with the phantom were amazingly designed(I'm so happy that the phantom is one of Zelda's attacks in the new Smash Bros. game!)
Oh you poor thing!
I think Wind Waker may be the most accessible console Zelda game... assuming you aren't talking like old school then A Link to the Past is a good place to start

Nah, I'm a big fan of em too and my first Zelda game was Link's Awakening. But hey I also heavily dislike The Minish Cap and really enjoyed Skyward Sword so I seem to be an outlier around these parts. ;P

I thought the Wind Waker remake had a perfectly suitable amount of bloom...
This trailer was probably set at sunrise, so the amount of bloom is going to be quite significant. Apparently this happens in real life as well but I never wake up early enough to test it.
I think that the lighting, bloom included, is part of the reasons why it looks so gorgeous.
hope they will not tone it down

Wind Waker or Ocarina of Time (3D or Original) are the best by far IMO. (Personally I really love Majora's Mask but it can be hard to get into especially if you're not already a fan... I think)
Its a good game and the controls works fine. It has some of the best dungeons in any Zelda.
Play the 3D ones in the order they were released.
They all have kind of rough opening hours to be fair, SS just has the worst, and I really didn't like the controls at all. I'm sure if I'd have given it ten or more hours I'd have got into it, so I can't really say it's bad as a whole, but the first five or six hours were really bad.

Well it's all subjective, but I think SS is a fantastic entry in the series.
The puzzles are intricately designed in both the overworld and dungeons. The stuff you do in the Lanayru Dessert area is pure genius. They really play with your expectations in the dungeons you find there.
The game also has amazing music, a beautiful timeless art style(right up there with WW), well directed cut scenes, and some of the best story telling a Zelda game has ever had(Don't expect oscar worthy TLOU type stuff though)
Edit:
This is a good idea btw.

I loved SS but I can't deny this, even for a Zelda game it starts out way too slow. Dungeons are some of my favorite in the series though(after the shitty first one and mediocre second one).
