Support NeoGAF

[zoukka]

So are shrines the new dungeons or are we getting both shrines and dungeons? This shrine was kind of underwhelming.

They are definitely not proper dungeons.

 

[Meesh]

Ganon confirmed by the monk !

Yeah. While not really that big a deal... Kinda wish it was a new end boss, but hey this new Ganon could still really surprise.

 

[maxcriden]

So are shrines the new dungeons or are we getting both shrines and dungeons? This shrine was kind of underwhelming.

If the earlier rumor was true as it seems to be, we will get four main dungeons. 100+ Shrines are confirmed now.

 

[Trojita]

I'm so disappointed in Aonuma, I can't even think straight. His reasoning for the lack of a female Link is so backward, just like half of GAF was.

How is it "more simple" to go with Zelda instead? Seems more complicated. Just make a new fucking model you can select and call her "Link."

Aonuma argh

It's a Japanese tier Misogyny cyclical logic.

 

[Prosopon]

I hope this game is more similar to Wind Waker than the other Zelda games, Wind Waker is my favorite Zelda game.

 

[Crom]

Are there seriously not gonna be any towns or other major characters?

There will be towns. They are showing small intro parts to a huge game.

 

[Haunted]

At first I was meh, but at the end, they had me.


A great swan song for the WiiU, hopefully.

 

[blamite]

Are there seriously not gonna be any towns or other major characters?

They've specifically said that they're avoiding showing other characters or story elements so that's a pretty big conclusion to jump to based on how little we've seen.

 

[JTripper]

Are there seriously not gonna be any towns or other major characters?

Who said those things weren't going to be in the game?

 

[ChimpBottle]

The bastard is going to have a splitting headache for the whole duration of the game.

Maybe that's why he's all pissed off.

Ganon is Ser Gregor Clegane confirmed

 

[Bakkus]

There will be towns. They are showing small intro parts to a huge game.

When have they previously stated this?

 

[Vampirolol]

where are those screens with the different armors from?

From the beautiful trailer

 

[Oni Link 666]

The box art doesn't look good. Hopefully it's just a placeholder. http://nintendoeverything.com/zelda-breath-of-the-wild-boxart/

 

[cw_sasuke]

Are there seriously not gonna be any towns or other major characters?

Wait....how did you jump to that conclusion ?

 

[Yado]

Are there seriously not gonna be any towns or other major characters?

The map is HUGE. If there are he's probably nowhere near them at this point.

 

[Svafnir]

Are there seriously not gonna be any towns or other major characters?

They specifically stated they are not showing any other characters today. It's all exploration they are showing off. They are leaving story elements and characters for the future.

 

[Draeter]

No Gender Option for Link

And crow was served. Finally we can bury this dumb discussion

 

[Servbot24]

That's a terrible reason.

Nintendo doesn't have to make an excuse for the main character of the series being the main character of a game in the series. It would have been cool if they changed it, but there is absolutely no obligation to do so.

 

[Bakkus]

Who said those things weren't going to be in the game?

I feel like they've shown so much of the landscape that it feels weird we have not seen any towns anywhere on the map.

 

[Ninjimbo]

I'm really impressed with that magnet. And everything else of course. But the magnet, and the physics, and the puzzles, and the environments...wow.

Blown away guys. I'm just blown away. Hopefully it's a launch game for NX.

 

[Cindro]

Is this the new treehouse stream thread now? Damn lonely perverts ruining things by lacking the most basic form of self control, god

 

[Jonneh3003]

The box art doesn't look good. Hopefully it's just a placeholder. http://nintendoeverything.com/zelda-breath-of-the-wild-boxart/

I sort of like it but it screams placeholder.

 

[Armoured Titan]

That's disappointing. I'd rather have no shrines and more main dungeons. 7 would be a nice number of dungeons. Isn't that what TP had?

 

[Aeana]

Is this the new treehouse thread? Damn lonely perverts ruining things by lacking the most basic form of self control, god

No, the thread was re-created.

 

[wild wild rice]

Y'all got the treehouse thread locked. This was supposed to be a fun day.

 

[Francokid1]

I guess we are in here now?

 

[Instro]

Looks like the treehouse thread is about to get demolished. Dumbfucks.

 

[MadOdorMachine]

Anyone know if motion controls can be disabled for the camera/aiming?

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Is this the new treehouse stream thread now? Damn lonely perverts ruining things by lacking the most basic form of self control, god

I don't know specifically what this is referring to, but there's a Treehouse stream going on, so I can guess.

 

[jblank83]

Anyone know if motion controls can be disabled for the camera/aiming?

You can do play with the Pro controller, so any motion controls are optional.

 

[Yado]

I forgot about the treehouse thread tbh

 

[crooked spin]

Bummed that there's no female character but let's not blow this out of proportion. At no point was it ever promised or even hinted at as a possibility. Be mad at Emily if you have to be mad anyone (not really, she doesn't deserve that).

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Audrey just confirmed that, apart from shrines, there are traditional dungeons that "Zelda fans are used to".

 

[War Eagle]

So Gannon is confirmed in the game it seems. Also I hope they seriously are not using the same character model for every guy who gives you the orb at the end of a shrine.

 

[God Dayumm]

Are there seriously not gonna be any towns or other major characters?

What if they are undergroud?

 

[Matbtz]

That's disappointing. I'd rather have no shrines and more main dungeons. 7 would be a nice number of dungeons. Isn't that what TP had?

She said the shrines will be much more complicated, those are just the first ones. So maybe it will be like mini dungeons

 

[Not]

The game will be the exact same on Wii U and NX

ooooooof course

Nintendo going to make an incredible game... and compensate by doing nothing else that makes sense

That's our Nintendo

 

[Vampirolol]

This feels like open world done right. As someone who LOVED mgsv I'm very happy.

 

[Calm Mind]

The Plateau portion of Hyrule is clearly the tutorial section of any past Zelda game without feeling or being told it is a tutorial section.

 

[whyamihere]

I'm so disappointed in Aonuma, I can't even think straight. His reasoning for the lack of a female Link is so backward, just like half of GAF was.

How is it "more simple" to go with Zelda instead? Seems more complicated. Just make a new fucking model you can select and call her "Link."

Aonuma argh

Over the moon thrilled with the rest of the game though. And I guess if it really is the resurrected hero of something or other, the male gender makes sense.

But why make him so damn androgynous? Is it just the art style?

Ughhhhh. And yay. Also ugghhhhh. Yay. Ugh.

It's SO disheartening. Ugh.

 

[Mouse Cop]

Have they confirmed when the WiiU version ships and when NX ships? I'm seeing multiple saying they won't get a WiiU for this, so does that mean they won't release simultaneously? Also, my god man. This fucking game...this FUCKING GAME.

On a scale from 1-even, I can't.

 

[iFirez]

Are there seriously not gonna be any towns or other major characters?

I think there will be, its just a huge world and they have chosen not to focus on those parts of the world at E3.

 

[Thoraxes]

Jose Otero said Nintendo mentioned there are over 100 shrines just now...

Yooooo

 

[Cindro]

No, the thread was re-created.

Awesome, thank you <3

 

[FreedomFighter]

So it takes place after Wind Waker but Ganon's back? This will be an interesting tale.

Ganon is eternal. He cannot die. He's only sealed away for a while but finds a way to come back.

 

[jblank83]

The game will be the exact same on Wii U and NX

The comment came during an E3 presentation after Aonuma was asked if the mysterious new NX will boast any exclusive features for Breath of the Wild, and Aonuma didn&#8217;t elaborate or offer any hints about what Nintendo may be planning.

In regards to content.

It remains to be seen in regards to processing, rendering, visuals.

 

[Matbtz]

I feel like they've shown so much of the landscape that it feels weird we have not seen any towns anywhere on the map.

They said it will be a spoiler free live so I get it if they are not showing towns or characters. But yeah it would be cool to see a town !

 

[Yado]

The game will be the exact same on Wii U and NX

ooooooof course

Nintendo going to make an incredible game... and compensate by doing nothing else that makes sense

That's our Nintendo

I expect it to look better

 

[Lilo_D]

The Plateau portion of Hyrule is clearly the tutorial section of any past Zelda game without feeling or being told it is a tutorial section.

it may introduce all necessary abilities

 

[tskeeve]

This game looks fucking incredible. Love the artstyle and music. Hmm...maybe a late generation Wii U is in my future.
