Dear Bethesda, that's how you do Magic arrows !

 

[FreedomFighter]

Durability's great. Keeps you constantly making decisions and makes the master sword as important as it deserves to be.

Exactly.

Not to mention, I was trained on Fire Emblem and I love the strategy involved in weapon durability.

Dammmmn.

That is just one section of the map. Dark background are part of the map too. They zoomed it out and was fucking huge...

I understand that. I am just wondering where we think... let's say Mt. Hylia is on the map from last year, which looks to show the whole world.

 

[trixx]

They needa show a dungeon cause this open owrld stuff is quite boring, looks very empty which is not great for open world. Throw some more npc, some villages etc..

Durability's great. Keeps you constantly making decisions and makes the master sword as important as it deserves to be.

I'm feeling this too. Will make the special items feel all the more powerful.

 

[KarmaCow]

durability is countered by being able to pick up new weapons constantly from enemies, chests.

The problem with this is the limited inventory. There will probably be ways to upgrade your limits but even in that demo, twice they ran into a situation where they wanted to pick up a weapon, but needed to do some cleaning first and second was during a fight. :/

 

[Jamaro85]

Not a fan of being able to pause then heal in the menu. :x

Yeah, I expected a required animation to come with it. Healing seems a little too easy.

 

[wild wild rice]

IGN guy asked Aonuma how big the plateua demo thats on the show floor was compared size wise to the full game

Less than 1%


W......T........F

I hope not.

+amiibo for Link on horseback and the Guardian creature.

Where you see this from?

 

[SinCityAssassin]

???

Yes

 

[boondock18]

Combat looks refreshing. Exploration looks top notch. I like how it just throws you out into the world. Dungeons and boss fights wills till defy the game, but it looks promising so far.

 

[random25]

That's one slick amiibo.

 

[dc89]

Zelda will be the game that either makes me bring a console out of retirement, or buy a new console altogether.

 

[Drackhorn]

They needa show a dungeon cause this open owrld stuff is quite boring, looks very empty which is not great for open world. Throw some more npc, some villages etc..

Hopefully the Nx version will bring more life into the overworld. I agree it feels kind of barren.

Wolf link Amibo let's you summon a Wolf buddy once a day.
Oh Shit.

 

[Stiler]

Man, limited inventory and weapon breaking is something I loathe in new rpgs. It's just more of an annoyance then anything.

There's a reason many rpgs are now starting to move away from it or offer thingsto help it (like player storage and easy repairs of weapons/armor or getting rid of durability entirely).

 

[shingi70]

When is the eshop sale starting?

 

[Bony Manifesto]

durability is countered by being able to pick up new weapons constantly from enemies, chests.

It's going to be super-frustrating to have to go into the menu to select a new weapon every few minutes though. Hopefully that stops being such an issue later in the game and items are only so fragile in the opening to force you to experiment with different ones.

 

[bomblord1]

IGN stream just revealed using the wolf link Amiibo will work with the game.

The Amiibo will bring out wolf link as a companion he will stay until he runs out of hearts and can only be summoned once per day

 

[MajorMane]

Where you see this from?

Pulled from Wario64's twitter.

Seems to be from here: http://www.businesswire.com/news/ho...-Unprecedented-Freedom-Adventure-Legend-Zelda

 

[RhyDin]

Dunno why everyone thinks the framerate issues are with the stream - clearly plummeted when the camera was overlooking the cliffs on scenes with a wide player perspective POV.

WiiU version isn't looking good.

 

[Mediking]

Link doesn't do his classic happy animation when he opens a chest.....

 

[Busaiku]

Wolf link Amibo let's you summon a Wolf buddy once a day.
Oh Shit.

Woah.
The Zelda amiibo have definitely been the best in terms of application.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Lol there's a Waluigi amiibo

 

[Mr Waluigi]

Yes

WHAT

Lol there's a Waluigi amiibo

W H A T

 

[hetchi]

Where can I see the Treehouse Live Schedule?

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Why oh why do we have to wait till March to play this game 😭😭😭

March? They have not announced a date yet. They only said the NX version would launch on the same day at the Wii U one. That's it. People assumed that because the NX is coming in March that also meant Zelda is coming then, too.

But, we don't have a confirmation yet as far as I know.

 

[Crayolan]

Man this looks so crazy different from every other Zelda game. I get the feeling it's gonna be really divisive for that.

+amiibo for Link on horseback and the Guardian creature.

Ehhhh...doesn't look great.

 

[Flare]

You should be able to drop items while in the change items menu (d-pad), hopefully they'll add it in if it's not in already.

While I hope the item limit increases, I can also see it coming in useful by allowing you to take a limited number of items into a dungeon or something similar.

Not a fan of pausing and healing, and I wish there was a button to use an equipped healing item. A touch button would suffice.

Overall, what I'm seeing is absolutely incredible. The detail, and the massive change that Zelda has undergone while still remaining Zelda at its heart for this game is a breath of fresh air.

2017 is too far.

 

[TheJoRu]

IGN giving the scoops on Wolf Link amiibo in BotW. You get a wolf companion that helps you hunt in the game. Wow.

 

[NimbusD]

Looks like the game will sense your voice for stealth also, like at the lower right theres a mic thing.

omg you're right.


voice commands too? awesome.

I'm loving the UI doesn't have fucking giant buttons all over it.

 

[foltzie1]

Durability for everything + item limits in inventory = >_______<

I wager that more traditional items will follow and not risk breaking.

Of course, how long before you get the Master sword and Hylian bow. . .

 

[RootCause]

That link amiibo looks sweet.

 

[Chaos17]

That said the world felt way too empty for my liking.

You can't said that when you can interact with almost 90% of the environement like choping every grass and trees you see.

 

[CNCOMICS]

Found this photo of one of Nintendo's displays. Looks pretty cool.

 

[MajorMane]

Yes

Nintendo redeemed.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

Eurogamer just released an article:
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...-is-the-most-ambitious-nintendo-game-in-years

Map size estimated as twelve times that of Twilight Princess.

 

[Caelus]

Item crafting and I assume more adventure pouches will prob help deal with item fragility and inventory limits.

 

[Peléo]

The problem with this is the limited inventory. There will probably be ways to upgrade your limits but even in that demo, twice they ran into a situation where they wanted to pick up a weapon, but needed to do some cleaning first and second was during a fight. :/

I agree, but they picked lot's of weapons they didn't use at all. If they were a bit more selective about what to pick/leave this wouldn´t have happened. Also, I think Link will be able to increase the size of his inventory with time.

 

[PKrockin]

Looks like the game will sense your voice for stealth also, like at the lower right theres a mic thing.

I think that's for how much noise Link is making, so you can tell whether you're walking silently.

 

[blankempathy]

Wolf link Amibo let's you summon a Wolf buddy once a day.
Oh Shit.

Hmm does that mean we may get pets? Seems weird to add a companion feature for just an amiibo.

 

[ErrorMacro]

For good or for bad, at least they are really going for changing the conventions of Zelda. This can only bring good things for the franchise, going forward.

 

[Drackhorn]

You can't said that when you can interact with almost 90% of the environement like choping every grass and trees you see.

Still feels that way to me, maybe because of the graphical style.

 

[SweetDonuts]

Link doesn't do his classic happy animation when he opens a chest.....

If it's a Link from a past he's probably pissed he had to come back and save Hyrule again. No time for happy.

 

[Kouichi]

Yes

YESSSSSS

The true megaton of E3.

 

[Koozek]

Happy they finally actually shook up the formula. I don't like all the item management, though, and weapon durability is one of my least-favorite mechanics in games :/

 

[Revven]

SHRINES? Mini-dungeons confirmed.

 

[Little Mons†er]

ooops I apologise
