Glad you've managed to find a way to paint us all into a corner. I game on PC. I've played The Witcher 3, I've played GTA V and MGSV and pretty much every other major milestone in gaming that isn't Xbox Exclusive. at 60fps, 1080p+. I've had the top tier experiences you could possibly have with those games and I'm still super impressed by what I'm seeing here... Damn shame I don't fit your shitty little narrative, eh?
Watching the Tree house live videos on youtube, WOW its so much stuff you can do in this game
Even the enemy's show a number to see who will be harder to beat
Bombs can be square or circle and can be detonated like C4 lol
The weather and lighting is amazing
Dont just watch the trailer and judge the game, watch the gameplay videos

It's easy to identify who are kids and teens on this thread.

Same here.
I don't give 2 shits if this game wins back kids and teens or not. I think the game looks awesome and, as long as I have a copy in my hands on launch day, I couldn't care less if anyone else does or not.

I'm glad that one enemy did up to 3 hearts of damage in one hit. When we saw the bokoblin do a quarter heart damage I was pretty annoyed.
Quarter-heart damage shouldn't exist.

Dude. Are you even reading what you're writing? You think people here haven't played current gen games? I love Soul/Borne, doesn't stop me from loving the much graphically inferior Monster Hunter series even if they both procure me the same kind of fun. I love the Witcher 3, and this game still appeals to me immensely.
There needs to be some kind of reverse of Rose Tinted Glasses. I propose shit-smeared glasses.
It's such a stupid argument, I come to Zelda, Souls and Witcher for entirely different reasons.

IGN and Co seem to like the new Zelda and they clearly know that last Gen happens. Deal with it, it looks like a fucking good open world game with a lot to do and interacting. And the world is not just a flat surface with some mountains you can not climb on to make the world look bigger.
Sorry to say that but you are trolling hard here and it doesn't work, the people love the new Zelda (for now...it will change like always when a Zelda is released)

This game looks surprisingly amazing. At first glance it doesn't feel like a Zelda game but after a while, it is very Zelda. Exploration looks great and gives a nice feel of actual adventure. I'm just shocked that it's looking this beautiful on the WiiU, can't wait to see what the NX version will look like.
And oh...I love the sub title to the game.

I agree, this looks really sandboxy in all the right ways. Still some rigid looking puzzles with obvious solutions but at the same time there is all this new stuff with the physics and traversal that opens things up.
I feel like getting to a lot of areas is going to require creativity and that's exactly what I want.

how relevant will this boxart to teens
second question: how relevant will this boxart be to kids
URGENT EDIT: feel free to answer in any order
The amount of exploration in most Zelda games is very minimal. Usually about the same as your average JRPG, which is to say it's there, but it's not significant.

It's not impossible that we are not seeing enough of the game.
Right now this is like showing off metal gear solid 5 but staying away from all the bases and soldiers I guess.
If the meat of the game is more engaging then that will be good but after experiencing from soft level design and combat and dungeons there is a new high bar to meet.

Yeah, have you seen those washed out colors? If I wanted physicis, I'd play Angry Birds.
You can actually climb that mountain over there.

Touché lol.
Seriously I dont understand this method of thinking. Newer does not mean more fun to play. Game design is important. what you DO with the elements. and a lot of open world games fall short in the creative department.
You're one of the only ones in this thread who isn't enjoying it. it's you, not us.
The idea of Hyrule being in ruins, Link being unceremoniously thrown into action, having to survive on his own, a lot of the important landmarks of the world being abandoned and the Master Sword being all rusty; I enjoy the theory a friend of mine told me about that we could be playing as a Link who wasn't reincarnated when they needed him. Seems like a similar idea that The Wind Waker played with but with a much more desolate and immediate angle.

Don't even respond to him. Look at his post history...posts in exclusively non-Nintendo threads and in the Nintendo threads is constantly trolling Zelda.
You can totally compare the map to games like Witcher.
It's open world forests and cliffs, not that hard.
That aspect of this game absolutely looks dated, and that's because it is, since it's running on very dated hardware (the wiiu's).
Hell, at times it even looks more sparse than Dragon's Dogma, and that's saying something.
Not hard to imagine why some of us think it doesn't look that hot.

Looks like Shadow of the Colossus meets Okami. I'm impressed by Zelda for the first time in a decade.

For me the game looks great, thank god I don't care about useless things, sorry if you do, but objectively the game doesn't look BAD

Yeah, the reveal was probably the NX version because that looked much better, even the 2015 trailer looked like a downgrade too me.

I'm specifically talking about the gameplay. Of course a Wii U game is going to look dated next to the Jesus Christ of current-gen WRPGs. Even then, while the graphics here certainly aren't the most impressive I've ever seen, they're more than serviceable as far as I'm concerned, and there were some really amazing looking moments throughout the stream.

I don't think it looks great visually (I did find it impressive when initially unveiled) but I'll probably pick it up as a send off for my Wii U.
The very first footage was clearly captured from dev PCs lol.
He probably could have explained how the game is appealing to children and teens too. For real though, I bet he'd be stoked about the reception Zelda is getting, though I'm sure he knew they had a winner on their hands.
It's hilarious because Nintendo/PC is a super common combo. Most people I know who have Nintendo systems also game on PC.

Same here...seems he make a confusion somewhere...maybe he think nintendo intend in some way to win people loving linear story driven game ?

Even if there are only four main dungeons, if some of the shrines are as long as that last one I'm not worried about the amount of content at all.
Really excited for this game. Can't wait to play it!

I'm not crazy about that boxart. I feel like Zelda could do better than blue and orange with the hero aiming a weapon.

How could you possibly look forward to 100+ handcrafted mini puzzle dungeons, an entire world to explore, combat that already looks better than Witcher 3's all wrapped up in a beautful artstyle.
Because Dark Souls exists or something and I really like talking down to people and screaming my ignorance from the rooftops.

No can't you see, he lives in a fantasy where his fellow purple lunchbox carrying trove of purist Nintendo fans before they betrayed them with motion controls will somehow not be impressed with this game and thus will not resonate with their kids or brothers who grew up on more mature grimdark adventures like Souls and Witchers.
