We don't even know the fucking story. The same Zelda game that brought up Shiek and Impa was also about "saving a female".

Holy shit, she does look like Dolores.
Also hoping theres a spanish dub or at least i can play it in japanese. The american dub seems terrible.

No it doesnt? It looks more inspired by Princess Mononoke than Ni No Kuni but it doesn't look like Ghibli so much as it evokes the same feeling.
An annoying trope in Zelda games is that Zelda starts out deviating and at the very last moment becomes a damsel in distress. Shiek and Tetra being the most prominent examples.
I feel this:
i want to play as spanish link
Oh c'mon. It was sad. Also spoilers to a 25 year old game... >__>
The game ends with Link on a log in the middle of the ocean, it wasn't that happy.
I watched it two times.
When they show the world it's 80% grass, the enemies seem to spawn at camps or certain points.
There's some horses and wildlife at two scenes I think
Theory, since the preceding dialogue before every Zelda scene is "You're ready to find out what happened 100 years ago," what if every single scene with Zelda in this trailer is from a flashback and she's sacrifices herself so that Link can make to the shrine of resurrection?
The collector's edition or me?
Bahaha both - nothing but love for you Crossing Eden! Every AC thread, I always enjoy!
I feel this:
So wrong

I don't get... it? It... looks better... than the US art?...
The game world does not entirely consist of the natural flora and fauna, they showed towns, areas of dungeons (presumably, there's like a clock tower thing and some lava area), enemies, etc. That's what people are excited about.
n....n.......no?.....
I feel this:
I feel like you don't know what you're talking about.
Ocarina of Time was more...Save the world-y with a save the female at the tail end.
Skyward Sword was basically all save the female.
I'm hoping for uh...Well I don't know what I want, but I don't want Skyward Sword. lol. I definitely hope it's more about the world and people this time around. It's what made Link's Awakening and Majora's Mask so great.

I feel this:
Is this a joke?
While there may be towns they still might be soulless and empty. FFXV comes to mind ...
I think the Zelda dungeons will great.
It's just sad that nearly every open world is just there for having open world.
SS wasn't about saving Zelda. She was pretty much saving herself and doing her own thing for most of the game, until the last hour or so.

It was bittersweet but you know what I mean, dream endings lose their impact quite a bit especially in a game. Rarely does dark stuff happen to the main heroes of Zelda. So many incarnations of Link and the only one who's died did it offscreen. Although he does wake up in a resurrection chamber so maybe he died 100 years ago and they're giving it another college try? Which is a pretty humorous scenario:
"Damn Link got fuuuuuckkkked up by Ganon, give him 100 years in this resurrection chamber, surely he'll win this time. >_>"
I feel SS subverted it at least a little bit by having Zelda go off on her own quest by purifying herself and activating the Master Sword, Link chases after her but doesn't really get anything done in that respect when it's Impa putting in all the work.
It looks like in the trailer Zelda is purifying herself in Hylia's spring again, her outfit is more equestrian and 'active' and she holds the slate in her amiibo, I feel like she has a more active role and the 'saving her' line might be referring to just chasing after her as opposing to snatching her up from distress. I could be wrong.

Oh man looks like the Gerudo have awesome land walrus looking badasses they ride around. I loved that shot with Link and the Gerudo
Lol. You see this is why I think he dies. He's being held together by blue goo tech.
If it's good enough for Goku, it's good enough for Link.

I didn't give a shit about this game before as it looked like an empty open world with not a lot to do.
But holy shit that trailer pushed me over the edge to make a pre-order for it and the Switch. Superb.

I'm not even sure what you're arguing here. Yes, I've seen male characters cry. A prince specifically? I guess Vegeta when he was begging Goku to avenge his race? (I'm sure there are better examples out there)
The point I was making was about context. There's a world of difference between a female character crying due to "hysterics", and a female character crying due to loss. Based on the trailer, it doesn't appear to be anywhere along the lines of a princess locked in a tower awaiting rescue from a man. She seems to be an active participant in the story, and is at a point of emotional breakdown.
And I'm not mad or anything, you're criticisms just seem premature, and so far based on what has been shown, somewhat baseless.
world wide
I remember the quote from the Old Man in the beginning of the game... "A shadow of the former self."
I hope he's referring to the Kingdom, himself (he's probably King Hyrule), and Link all at once.

I wonder when we can expect some comparison videos for wii u version to switch version.
Looks like I won't even be able to buy a switch day 1 even if I wanted to, seems sold out already online lol. Hopefully they can get some good stock in after release.

This is why i'm thinking it's all flashback when he's with Zelda. Because in the present she's seemingly keeping Ganon at bay in the castle.

Not picking on you. I've played all the games that have what is considered amazing voice acting uncharted 4, portal 2, witcher 3, etc. and I don't think think this VO sounds bad at all. What I'm saying is I am glad I am unable to spot bad VO.

No doubt dungeons would be great, but I agree. It's looks open works for the sake of it.
