I'm liking the graphic style a lot, looks gorgeous most of the time, but a little bland at others.
The world does give off a strong SotC vibe, but I don't mind that at all and think it's actually a perfect match for a Zelda game.
Seems to fit the world too, as you see a lot of those robot-enemies decaying everywhere.
They seem to take on a totally new direction with the climbing, cooking parts and seeing Link in different outfits and full body armor at one point. Excited for the gameplay section
Still I do hope there will at least one major settlement in this game.

You're not explaining anything. By life, you mean people, cities? Cause there is plenty of wildlife.

Do you mean actual animals or would that include fictional as well?
You shoot "animals" as far back as the NES Zelda.
Not trying to call you out, just looking for clarification.
As a long-time nintendo fan, I'm not impressed. The graphics are nice for WiiU, sure, but while the artistic direction is cool and all, the world looks too empty and barren. Like TP Hyrule Filed barren^100000.
The bar has been raised so much for open world games in the recent years, this would have been impressive like 5 years ago, not today. Not talking about tech, I'd never expect a WiiU game to run like The Witcher 3 on a 970+ class of video card; just about stuff going around and such. Xenoblade X did that manyfold better on the same hardware than what we could see in that demo.
Crossing finger for some amazing gameplay

Fairly sure that's how the animation is supposed to look like, they're clearly not going for a naturalistic look.
I'm not sure what to feel at this point. Like RE7, I'm interested to learn more, but I'm not completely sold yet.
Hopefully there are towns and sidequests somewhere in the game.
hahaha......
Gameplay look great in concept, let's see at execution.
But this is better be Wii u footage.
Another axman behind the tree left of the one link fell.
Yeah saw that too. Was too lazy to screen cap and shit.
You could see a fair amount of smoke trails and little houses tucked away all throughout the trailer. There's going to be a fair amount of NPCs scattered throughout the world. Wonder if we'll have any real settlements though outside Castle Town, especially since that looks to be captured again at some point.
Yeah those animations weren't terrible but the game is not releasing tomorrow, min 8 months to go so... I guess it will be okay by then
I think they hard cut a clear picture of him at that point (Sound cuts out and black screen and all)
Not harsh, but I definitely don't understand it. And that's a-ok if that's your thing. Doesn't bother me at all. But don't try to paint me as some aggressive force against your morals just because I didn't frame my question in ultra-politeness.
In any case, you've never had an issue with Zelda before this? Honest question. Killing hoards of goblins, knights, birds, frogs, fish --- there has been tons of killing.
I'll miss lifting my sword for power.
I'll miss feeling like Mr. Miyagi by the end of the game when I could just poke bats out of the air! (I'm so glad somebody else loved the motion controls of SS! Congrats on the good taste!)
So good.

Zelda is scheduled for 2 minutes from now according to e3.nintendo.com
Get your body ready for more, Pokemon is just about done.

I hope they fill more the world because aside from gorgeus it looks empty.

Pretty sure it is Wii U footage. Nintendo doesn't really seem to do a lot of bullshitting on their trailers for the most part and I doubt they'd show gameplay from something they haven't even announced yet. Especially since they're live demoing it all E3 so it'd be kinda terrible PR to have a trailer and then have the game look significantly worse when the press actually plays it.
Didn't cry, but Zelda is important to me too. I have a Zelda "shrine" of all my Zelda games all boxed up, all the memorabilia and music CDs and figures, all in my game room.
My wife and I share a love for Zelda games. Today, in fact, I'm buying a frame for the Zelda Anniversary Symphony poster I got when we heard the tour.
It's a great game, great series, and it carries a lot of memories for me and inspires me as a game designer.
I'm getting used to the whimsical enemies. Doubt we'll ever go back to OoT style

Eh... I kinda wished they would after seeing it in action. Would also love if they worked on those muddy textures too...
You probably don't have to hunt. It is likely optional. You said that you are a meat eater but you are upset about video game hunting? Just trying to understand
I'm a huge animal lover and pretty much a vegetarian these days. But for me personally, I don't mind hunting in videogames, so long as it's not drawn out and cruel.

It's clear when you watch the same stream...
It's everything. flowers, leaves, bushes, animals, people, trees, detail in different stones, etc.
It looks barren (thus far).
BUT: it could be just the trailer. So i'll just watch more and we'll see.
The music was by far the best part of it. Everything else looked decent or poor, but the music was fantastic.

Wonder if they kept upgrade crafting from Skyward Sword
Haha, I thought it was brilliant. It was everything I expected back when TP was announced for Wii.
Game was lovely.

Wait, you eat meat but don't condone hunting? What humans have literally been doing to survive since the dawn of time?
What's going on here?
Link is definitely hunting, yes.
