Jesus those animations... reminds me of the demon boar in Mononoke, at the start of the movie.

Yeah major Mononoke vibes.

 

[Hattori]

I don't want to sound biased but... GAME OF E3!!

 

[Jonboy]

Looks absolutely phenomenal. Love the art style and open-world talk. Don't understand the hate for the character model either. Getting some Last Air Bender vibes from it. Enjoy them taking Link in a new direction. Definitely looks more feminine and I did wonder if it was a girl as well. Kinda hope it is. Would be a cool twist on the traditional formula. Regardless, so incredibly pumped.

Can't wait to hear more.

 

[Axass]

I was legit crying guys.

 

[Shalashaska161]

Game looked beautiful. Can't wait to see more.

 

[Mango The Magician]

With animations like this, this game better have a good story, no ALBW crap.

 

[Shaanyboi]

fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck

AM SO HYPED

Spoiler

Wish they showed more. God damnit.

 

[Yondy604]

Definitely a girl.

It's so obviously a chick.

1 - They hid her face the entire time until the last second.
2 - She has a god damn ponytail
3 - Very feminine Face, and body
4 - The camera angles they used purposely protecting showing clear looks at her face
5 - SHE LOOKS LIKE A GOD DAMN GIRL hype

gasp
I'm in love.

 

[EroticSushi]

Just noticed that his bracers look quite familiar..

 

[Pegosaurus]

wow this looks great

cel shading looks fantastic too

 

[Philippo]

Looks incredible, but man what a delusion: no title, no gameplay video or info, and 99% the game won't look like this while playing.
So much for a title that was originally planned to be revealed last year...

I hope i'll get to eat crowd :/

 

[Kyzon]

My body was nowhere near prepared for this.
It looks beautiful!
I think this is the PERFECT artstyle for Zelda.

 

[orioto]

That's definitely a good direction! I just hope the WiiU can achieve something not too messy iq wise with this kindof scope. I loved how Aonuma talked about how old zelda games had this sense of a coherent linked world and 3D zelda killed that somewhat.

 

[Herr K]

What's wrong with that exactly? Gender is a problem?

Prince Zeldo will be quite a thing.

 

[Solid Samus]

i absolutely wasn't expecting actual skyrim influence with an open world. I laughed off the idea every time a GAF member brought it up.

Looks neat.

 

[Popnbake]

WOW different from what I was expecting but awesome! I cannot wait until we get some more info about it.

You are able to travel to where ever you see, even the mountains in the distance. Particle, and fire effects were absolutely stunning.

Releasing 2015

Zelda WiiU Reveal Trailer

The game looks amazing but

I just hate the way Link looks in this.

Wish he looked similar to the Hyrule Warriors version.

 

[Ansatz]

You guys do remember that they debuted Zelda when they revealed the Wii-U and it turned out to be vaporware, right?

And now they show off a few seconds of a scripted open world Zelda game and everyone freaks out again.

Where is the actual gameplay? Who is to say this is even real?

And this makes Nintendo win E3? Seriously?

(I am totally buying a Wii-U next year, and would LOVE for this Zelda game to be the real deal but I am at this point highly skeptical)

Based on Aonuma's comments the overworld is put together in a clever, puzzly way not immersive bullshit like Skyrim. The main point of this footage is the artstyle, it's very Nintendo and appealing, not the boring TP / realistic style.

 

[shinobi602]

I was waiting on the new Zelda to pick up a Wii U. That decision's been vindicated.

Next year my sweet, next year.

Are you retarded? The first footage was said to be a target render or tech demo. Whatever you want to call it. It was just a view into what it might look like. What they showed today is the from the real game and is what it will look like.

 

[L-gon]

i hate the art style why cant they have the art style look like the tech demo.

Opinions, assholes, etc but I think this looks far more impressive than the WiiU tech demo.

The level of detail is on par or better and the lighting is bonkers.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

cel-shading praise the lawd

Exactly what I hoped for. Always wanted to see cel-shading with more details

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Link is still a guy. People pls. This is what Link looks like in HW:

Thats a great design though.

 

[Totakeke]

You guys are loving the graphics, but I'm already enamoured when Anouma mentioned that their goal is to make the world as explorable as the 2D Zeldas. 2D Zelda exploration in a 3D Zelda? :swoon

 

[BadWolf]

That is one beautiful looking game.

 

[Kinsei]

They should have waited for next years E3, or the first Direct of 2015 to show it off. They didn't even show gameplay for fucks sake.

 

[Brohan]

Don't really like the way link looks but the rest was amazing, open world zelda is me having to buy a wii u sonetime.

 

[sphinx]

This remainded me a lot of Ni No Kuni.

am I the only one, this is very much Ni-no-Kuni PS3 art style and beauty, will probably look better becasue nintendo is nintendo but I expect that and nothing else.

 

[The Omega Man]

Holy shit that looked incredible, welp I am going to have to buy a a Wii U after all

 

[kankki]

Chances of seeing more later at E3?

 

[MattyG]

Do you guys think we'll see any more of it during E3? Or is this it for a while?

 

[Punished_Snake]

Zelda Wii u is the best thing of this E3, hands down. Looks gorgeous.

 

[Kanyon]

Fuck me that looks beautiful, absolutely stunning art style.

 

[Gabe3208]

Wow, just fucking WOW!!!

 

[Porcile]

If that's how the game is going to look, then dear god almighty. The animation is stunning.

 

[Pegosaurus]

It's so obviously a chick.

1 - They hid her face the entire time until the last second.
2 - She has a god damn ponytail
3 - Very feminine Face, and body
4 - The camera angles they used purposely protecting showing clear looks at her face
5 - SHE LOOKS LIKE A GOD DAMN GIRL hype

link has always looked somewhat feminine

 

[sora87]

*gross ugly sobbing* IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL

 

[Maddocks]

The game I have been waiting for on the Wii-u. Once it drops I'm buying.

 

[Ansatz]

They should have waited for next years E3, or the first Direct of 2015 to show it off. They didn't even show gameplay for fucks sake.

I have a feeling we will see a real trailer later this E3. We didn't even get the subtitle.

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

I'll start drinking the kool-aid when you start showing gameplay, Nintendo. Not getting hyped yet.

That said, console Zelda's are my favorite brand of games and I'll be there day one

 

[TheCongressman1]

Just noticed that his bracers look quite familiar..

Haha! I beat you!

Sorry...

Although it's probably nothing significant it could be a throwback of some sort.

 

[NaviLink]

Underwhelming announcement IMO. We barely saw the game and it looks quite similar to the last game.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Absolutely beautiful. Can't wait. Also, I don't think Link looks like a girl. To me it's more of a slender, effeminate anime styled young man. But if it is a girl and this is some sort of gender-reversed take on the franchise then I'm perfectly fine with that too.

 

[RoadHazard]

Will be getting a Wii U for this. Yep. Is it possible that it will actually look this good though? I mean, it looks amazing with all that grass and shit. Could the Wii U really handle that?

 

[KarmaCow]

I just hate the way Link looks in this.

Wish he looked similar to the Hyrule Warriors version.

Yea if nothing else Hyrule Warriors has (mostly) great character designs.

 

[unaveragekid2]

Gorgeous artstyle. Wii U's powerful enough to make really beautiful stylized games, no doubt.

 

[Boney]

.

Chill with the language dude, you should take that back even if what he said was dumb

 

[Uncle Rupee]

I'm not a Nintendo fan but... WOW!!!!!

Then maybe you should reconsider that stance

 

[SmokedMeat]

Whatever I was expecting...this looks way better. This could be the best Zelda ever made.
I'd also love to see what other art styles they experimented with.

 

[Kuro]

I'm not liking the anime eyes :/

Is this a joke? Link has almost always been very anime.
