Fun note: if you don't have shoes equipped when trying to open a chest from the wrong side, Link reels in pain.

Watch Shrine Gameplay 3/4 if you want to see the icy area and how it's incorporated into the Great Plateau.Thank you. So Shrine 4/4 segment showed 3 shrines total, the last two of which are outside the Plateau? Or Shrine 4/4 showed two total, both outside the Plateau? I feel like that was the icy area but I'm trying to recall if I saw it. I haven't watched all the footage yet, though.
Haha, you'd think so, but you never know with Nintendo and those icy areas looked so different from the rest of the Plateau. And I couldn't quite figure out where on the Plateau map we saw that the icy area is. (And see above--evidently only the end of the Beyond the Plateau section showed areas beyond the Plateau)
Chiko was the best part of the stream =3
Hell yeah she was. Adored her playing and her commentary.
To be fair, the Bobobkins in the demo build are pretty dumb and easy. Night seems a bit harder, but still not much. But I think they know that. They keep mentioning in the stream that you'll see a greater variety and harder enemies in other areas. That its easy and common to accidentally wander into an area that your vastly under-leveled for. I don't think combat in Zelda is ever going to be "hard" again, but it sounds like a step up from the previous 3d games.It's not push to win, if you're noot carefull you can get easely killed.
They're "hidden enemies", in the gif below, the player was supirse by that elite who was just a bunch of rock then got killed.
The truth is during the 5hours of stream we hardly could be able to hear any musics because they toned it down so we could hear the streamers clearly. So, I think it's early to judge.
I think you might have missed some details that we shown during the stream, so I recommand you to take a look at this recap: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1233823
I love how the death screen is just Link falling into a crumpled heap instead of a death animation.
I see. And female playable character
Even on Twitter she apologized for it being "inaccurate." She never specifically said "female Link" either.

Why does link have different hair here?

The Gamexplain guys said they were surprised at how much bite the game had. Watching their 40 minutes playthrough of the demo they actually die a lot, granted they play like shit but there's definitely a feeling of risk and danger that was completely foreign to previous 3D installments where you really had to try to die, especially in the starting areas.

I read that thread and caught up with some details I missed after making that post early this morning. Naturally I couldn't sit and watch every second of the stream, but I wanted to catch the combat details. Somehow, I missed some of it. The rock guy was in the hunting segment. Think I took a break around there, yesterday.
One hit and done sounds great. I'm not scared of those two big guys though. Still looks easy with predictable movement patterns. Of course, skill levels vary. What's hard for me might be easy for another and vice versa, BUT the promise of a good challenge is there. I have a feeling the game is going to make me very happy with a nice tough challenge, because Aonuma has said that you can head to the final boss from the very beginning and likely get wrecked, but winning is possible. Sounds awesome. I'll believe it when I play it though. : P
Good question. They mentioned it but didn't really explain it. Simplest guess is probably just that you eventually find a way to customize your hair. Maybe you find a shop or a person where you can customize, or maybe some accessory you find does it.
His clothes are also different than the other outfits we saw.
They confirmed in the stream and trailer that you can get different haircuts, caps, etc...

OMG THE WORLD IS SO BARREN! NOTHING TO DO!
I'll never understanding this asinine comment/meme, expressed by many here. This is the richest Zelda overworld I've ever seen, by a mile, as evidenced in these videos. Forests, thick brush, different topographies, geographies, weather, animals to hunt, etc etc. I don't know what the hell these negative comments are referring to.

It's even bigger than the one they showed at TGA I believe.
Another character from The Wind Waker (maybe) returns.
How does this function as a Wind Waker sequel? Takes place several centuries after, when the waters have receded? After a super advanced civilization has come and gone? Must be thousands of years. And there's a Goddess statue from Skyward Sword there as well.
I'm guessing the inclusion of the Koroks don't mean much and this is really a SS sequel. Which still doesn't explain the overabundance of the sci-fi shit, but whatever.
Would almost make sense (actually no, not even close) if they didn't say that 1) the land from the demo is a sacred place 2) the world is doomed, so there
are probably not many characters wandering around to get murdered by guardians or ganon's troops and 3) they didn't show NPCs and towns on purpose. People saying this is barren, aimless or with nothing to do in it simply have no idea where to look at.
Calamity Ganon is the big bad of the world, spoilers all over your face. Link's been asleep for 100 years.
What's wrong with the UI? The only think I find unnecessary is the the noise indicator (plus the horrific jingle and constant window pop-up).

Can somebody make a gif of the scene where the tower goes up and Link sees the castle far away with the beast flying around it!? Looks so good
So... the subtitle. "breath of the wild".
I'm one of the few who hates it, it's horrible, makes me think of halitosis :/ I know the focus will be on wilderness and nature and I love it, but seriously, "breath"? "call of the wild" would have been better, or "winds of the wild" or I don't know, something, not "breath", uurgh..
Besides that the game hits all the right notes.

Posted in the other thread, but there's so much stuff in this vid.
Haven't seen the whole thing yet, but around 35 minutes Link shield-boards on random grassy areas, so much freedom in this game.

Aaaaand 20 min into day 2 of E3 and the Zelda is already closed. Pure insanity.

I wonder how big the budget is for this game. Is Nintendo just giving the dev team as much time and money as they need?

The exact quote is "Once upon a time, long ago, the Koroks took on human forms, but when they came to live on the sea, they took these shapes."
Since the Calamity Ganon wants to destroy the world, rather than conquer it, it's probably at the end of the known timeline where he's given up and gone all "fuck it, ya'll going down with me".

My biggest hope for the game at this point is that the "villain" isn't something like that and is more like WW's Gannon. Not just some evil force or something.
A variety of locations and animals to hunt is not what people reference when they say it. In some Zelda games, the overworld is smaller but much denser: puzzles in every square inch, secrets on every screen. It was quite handcrafted, and so every part of the world felt intimate and brilliantly designed. By nature, when you increase a game world size exponentially, there is much less ability to hand design each little square mile of land, and you end up traveling a lot between interesting destinations instead of the overworld itself being another extension of those interesting areas.
That's not to say that will be the case here, but these videos certainly haven't demonstrated those fears are without any merit. Note that this is a nuanced complaint: There is obviously an insane amount of things to do in this game. But some people prefer smaller, more handcrafted areas where you minimize down time and travel time between points of interest.

It's mostly a mish-mash of weird fonts that often appear on the screen without any real transition.
There was a new thread full of salt about this news.

I'm still catching up with the thread, but I see a lot of people complaining about the game looking "washed out".
That's just the live stream the looks like that. Look at other gameplay videos and not only will you see the colors look vibrant, but the game also looks sharp (on the stream it looks smudged).
Also, Nintendo has the entire Zelda segments on their youtube channel and it looks MUCH better than the live stream:

What 3D Zelda game has everything you just posted? OoT and twighlight princess has pretty boring over worlds. Skyward sword didn't really have one and wind waker was mostly water.

There are a few time mechanics in the game already, and it would be nuts if you could jump between the three timelines and the world would be completely different...though the more realistic option is just that all the universes collided so there's a mixture of everything.
Either way, I hope these inclusions aren't just references but mean something more, because I've always loved Zelda timeline stuff, and having a game where everything is converging/mixing is an awesome thought.

-This is just the opening area. Obviously other areas will have more stuff going on. Remember the opening areas on Zelda are always somewhat easy.
-Pop in is a reality in console games, specially on demanding games. That's something that will hopefully not happen in the NX version.
-The game can be as easy or hard as you want it to be. Just stay with the traditional clothes and you'll take more damage. Or don't pick up food so you are forced to conserve energy (remember, you can't find hearts in the grass anymore).
-Stamina meter is just fine. Once you play the game you won't even notice it.
-You can speed it up, but it will use more stamina. Later on you can upgrade the stamina, so I assume that by the end of the game you'll be able to climb anything really quickly and still have stamina left.
-I wasn't really expecting VA for every single character. Having VA for important/story conversations is just fine.
No they expected same visuals based on a shitty clickbait article from gamespot.
No it doesn't.
Wii U has its limits and this isn't the final build. A game isn't good or bad based on pop-in anyway.
This is the first area, they said that others have a lot of monsters wandering around that can absolutely wreck you (which happened in the gameplay as well). Hero mode is also a given, maybe Ganon amiibo will come back for 4x damage.
This is a minor thing, and isn't necessarily final.
You can use the stamina to climb much, MUCH faster.
We only saw 1 NPC. Again, not something that moves the balance.
Should be the opposite, the trailer is amazing but it's the gameplay that is out of this world.

Considering the amount of pop-up in the demo, it's NX for sure for me.

Confused by the easy comment. Do people literally want Zelda to be another Souls? The bokoblins are pretty easy, but the guardians look very difficult, and that rock monster was basically instant kill. This looks to be by far the toughest 3D Zelda by a large margin especially since you can attempt to go to the end of the game with literally no upgrades from the start.
I agree with the climbing being too slow, though.
I also feel like rolling is gone? Which would be sad.
We don't really know enough to say the world is too empty. I'm completely fine with the density of stuff to do of what we have seen so far. Looks far more sense than TP, OOT, and Wind Waker. Faaaarrr more.

I didn't, but a confirmation will calm people down. Straight from Aonuma no less.
I love how there's a very minimalistic version of the song of time playing when you're in or near the Temple of Time.

8-9 months is going to be a painful wait, but I suspect it will end up being longer than that.
Can't wait to see the NX visual upgrade. Really blown away by all the gifs, info, and how damn fun it looks.
