Sliding on shield lol,nice.

 

[Wandering Robot]

Snowboarding on the shield. Where's the cartoon gif when I need it? loooooool

 

[CassSept]

Enemies look like they were ripped straight from TWW.

 

[iFirez]

There doesn't seem to be a companion (Fi, Navi, Midna) outside of the Sheikah Tablet/Zelda voice.

 

[Version 3.0]

Shieldboarding!

 

[udivision]

1080p confirmed.

 

[Omnicent]

ok this is going to have some interesting speed run route potential. I'm in.

 

[chadboban]

You can ride your goddamn shield. Like there's so much more here than I was expecting

 

[Council Pop]

It's a Nintendofied Witcher 3. In the best possible way.

I guess the issue is that Witcher 3 is so successful because of the writing and all the small plotlines and narrative quests. Obviously the writing in Nintendo games in kept to a minimum, so it'll be interesting to see if the game can sustain interest in the open world.

 

[Gurish]

Am I the only one who is a little bored here? please show us a quest or something substantial, all the open world stuff is so tiring.

 

[DZ_b_EZ]

Poltergust 3000 in the background

Luigi prepping up a sequel???

 

[Meesh]

Gah! Shield snowboarding!!

 

[elshoelace]

So is this Hyrule after all the water is gone from WW? Might make sense with the rusted Mastersword from the trailer.

 

[Neiteio]

YOU CAN SNOWBOARD ON YOUR SHIELD?!

 

[con-ca-te-nate]

Oh my god you can do anything! They are not lying!!!

 

[CNCOMICS]

I find forums a lot more fun when everyone sits on their hands and says nothing or just talk about ejaculating.

wait

Lol, really? Honestly, it gets old when everything is compared to Souls, like Souls invented action RPG's or dark fantasy.

 

[Codeblue]

Snowboarding is a megaton. It was so fun in TP.

 

[SmackAttack]

Oh cool, they said the rain makes things slippery and harder to climb. This game is so hype.

WEATHER AFFECTS THE GAME? YOOOO

 

[Coldnoodle]

WE LEGOLAS NOW

SHOOT AN ARROW WHILE BOARDING

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

 

[Not]

YOU CAN FIND FIRE ARROWS!?!?!?

I bet Magnesis makes it easier to pull far away objects to you

 

[AjNimajwalHansel]

You can go full Legolas!

 

[thecouncil]

Oh god Shieldboarding HYPE.

Sheildboarding!

Snowshielding.

 

[Woffls]

Hah you can fire arrows whilst shieldsurfing. Amazing.

 

[Jonbo298]

Bill would burn the tree down successfully.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Hopefully you can turn off those tutorial messages.

 

[Brinbe]

the switching between arrows and stuff is great.

 

[Milly Osworth]

I actually love the more simple look Aonuma talked about. Most modern games jam in as much texture detail as possible. But this is way more pleasant to look at.

 

[Chittagong]

What's with the U thing in the top left?

 

[NimbusD]

Mechanically and in terms of visual art this game looks great but man, the sound effects (the item tingle especially) and enemy designs really make the game feel far too similar to Wind Waker - with which I mean to say that is too friendly / unmenacing for what it is trying to accomplish with its vast world and survival elements.

For this game I had hoped they would return to a more serious and sombre tone akin to the first two games (and yes, Dark Souls) to enhance the sense of adventure in a dangerous environment instead of an environment for which we have to pretend it is actually dangerous and challenging (like with every 3D Zelda so far for the most part, with their mostly far too easy combat and with effects like puffy clouds and sound cues for combos that make their combat feel not menacing at all).

Breaking with gameplay mechanical tradition is great and all but why not break with tonal tradition as well this time instead of copying Wind Waker and such?

lol zelda sound effects turn you off of a zelda game.

I dont know what some people want. Apparently not a zelda game. This is already a massive departure from what we've been getting.

 

[Ricker]

Wasted 2 fire arrows there,might regret it later

 

[weevles]

Sweet, you can snowboard and shoot stuff at the same time.

 

[Plinko]

No rupees...a Zelda with no rupees.

 

[Francokid1]

I need this game in my hands

 

[User1608]

So is this Hyrule after all the water is gone from WW? Might make sense with the rusted Mastersword from the trailer.

If so love how the series is always in some kind of permanent medieval stasis.

 

[linko9]

Looks great, but concerned about two things: seems like the lack of difficulty continues as in recent entries. Nearly endless healing items, enemies do little damage. Also not digging the lack of music in the overworld. The persistent music has always been something that I expect from Zelda games, and the lack of it here is bumming me out.

 

[Like the hat?]

Hopefully you can turn off those tutorial messages.

they said they only show up the first time you pick up an item at least.

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

This game...

 

[foxuzamaki]

Looks like the entire tree can be set on fire but doesnt seem to work in the demo

 

[Creamium]

Woooow this game man

 

[Not]

You can find so many cool items and weapons wow

This is really like other games finally

 

[mclem]

I think I need to see Chiko play everything at E3.

 

[Luigi87]

Rosy red cheeks or dirt on Link's face?

Definitely rosy red from the cold. A nice touch.

 

[darkinstinct]

This is just the very bare basics that they're introducing here. There'll be a ton more depth to things

So they choose not to show their best in the demo? That's a weird strategy.

 

[Brinbe]

Of course, the waterfall holds good loot

 

[MajorMane]

Link's cheeks are fucking rosy because it's cold out.

 

[War Eagle]

Where's it fit?

 

[FreedomFighter]

Wow she's is really good with that bow. Maybe she should of played that FFXV demo during the MS press conference

lolol

 

[Bert409]

Where can I go for pics and gifs from the last hour?

 

[Mpl90]

I saw the Amiibo symbol in the quick menu earlier.
