Only four dungeons?
Yeah, it's disappointing. Don't buy the game because it's going to suck like Majora's Mask that only has 4 dungeons.

Seems that way with Hyrule Castle looking like a possible fifth and final dungeon. 100 plus shrines as mini dungeons and massive world to explore, seems like it will be enough for me personally.
I wallpaperized these 2.
Oh man that second one is perfect, thank you! Now the countdown til march 3 begins.

Link in this game is a fucking hero, man. I can't believe i am getting the zelda of dreams and the mario of dreams .
You're right. Majora's Mask's dungeons do suck.
I always enjoyed the path to the dungeon more than the dungeons themselves.
yup basically. both seem to be exactly what i want out of each franchise
Same for me if Switch fails it atleast ended on a high note wich is fantastic.

I think the dragon and Ganon's castle could be dungeons too, so 6.

Wait really?
Hype majorly diminished. Dungeons were always my favorite part, and why Twilight Princess is my favorite game of all time.

I've only heard of Manaka Kataoka. She worked on Wii Fit, Animal Crossing: City Folk, Zelda: Spirit Tracks, Animal Crossing: New Leaf and some AC arrangements for SSBWiiU.

Not going to lie. Making Link more of a character with his own motivations/emotions and less of a "tool" has been something I've hoped they would do for a while. They have gone slightly into it from time to time, like I think I remember a scene from SS that was similar to this but with the rolls reversed, Link breaking down and Zelda not.
That's looking very likely, but it hasn't been confirmed yet. We've seen a lot of structures that look dungeon-esque, perhaps there are medium sized dungeons to go along with the 4 giant monster dungeons. Alternatively, the giant monsters might not be dungeons at all, and you can only beat them after you've completed the dungeon(s) in the area.Only four dungeons?

This has to be one of the best videogame trailers I've seen.
Holy fuck was that phenomenal.

The shrines are like mini-dungeons and there's 100 of them. If the dungeons are truely epic then having only 4 will be really impactful and leave a lasting feeling with us.
Mini dungeons almost always suck in depth though.

I hope the Wii U version looks good.
Yeah lol, I even thought it was another MHS x Zelda dlc colaboration thingy for a second.
True, but if there's a game you'd hope would give them said depth, it'd be a Zelda game.

Uhm I just watched the trailer again (3x) and goddamnit man.
This game.
I can't believe how close it is.

I can't believe how close it is.
It's almost certain that castle is a dungeon. If the 4 number speculation is true and you count the possible ship then 6 is a decent number. We're not even factoring in how big of difficult they could be. I'd take fewer harder and longer dungeons over more of them. Especially with the over 100 Shrines that are get harder.
Ganon's castle is almost always a repeat dungeon, sometimes with repeat bosses as well. It shouldn't count.

There being four main objectives tied to dungeons doesn't mean those are the only full-fledged dungeons in the game.

Not the best comparison, but I took some screenshots from IGN's switch footage and compared them to some of Nintendo's Wii U footage from E3.
Wii U first in pair, Switch second (with IGN's logo in the corner)
IGN's footage seems kind of washed out, but draw distances seems to be a lot better. Switch is higher res (obviously), but there are lighting changes and texture quality seems muddier (possibly because of the quality of the direct capture, but I don't think so). The second set of images favors Wii U in my opinion, especially since the open door doesn't even cast light in the Switch version. The clouds above the volcano also seem to differ in both versions, as well as the clouds in the sky in general.
Outside of that, in other videos it seems that grass pop in is a bigger problem in the Switch version than in the Wii U version and that the frame rate is inconsistent in both.

I think it's best not to expect more fully fledged dungeons than 4 tied to the Colossi and Hyrule Castle itself. 100 miniature dungeons with minor side objectives is good. The Overworld already looks by far the best in the series. There's no reason to expect more content than that.
Probably been mentioned already, but I noticed on the Treehouse stream there's an affection mechanic for the dogs in the world.
I think this probably tells us that you can have dog companions -- much like how you can have Wolf Link as a companion. The moment we saw a dog in a previous trailer I suspected this would be the case since Wolf Link seems like a MASSIVE feature to be locked behind amiibo. In reality it's just a special version of the dog companion feature which already exists in the game.

GX uploaded the video again without beetle's part. Nintendo ninjas probably struck again.

Like you said it's not a good comparison, but i'm not seeing what you're saying. Switch looks better in every comparison, and it's not true that the door doesn't cast light. It's a slightly different moment, you can see that lighting behind Link looks different. Draw distance is massively improved in the last shot, and frame rate was better on Switch compared to Wii U in any footage i've seen. It had really few frame drops, despite running at a higher res with better AA, shadows, textures and draw distance.
Only four dungeons?
Majora's mas was a mistake

What exactly is beedle's part? The one where you saw him from kind of far away?
If that's the one, then I don't know what's the big deal because you saw Beedle on the treehouse stream too.

5 seems more likely
Do we have the original video saved anywhere? Did they go up to the merchant and see it was him 100%? We get a glance at him in the treehouse stream but I wonder if this was a full confirmation and Nintendo asked them to remove it.

This comparison video shows the Switch version looks better.

As for pop-in, even Dragon Quest 11 on the PS4 has popins. That's an unfortunate reality of open world games.
for some reason the environment is giving me world of warcraft vibes.

Considering we have no context about it at all, I mean literally none, I think it might be a little ridiculous to analyze it on such a critical level at this juncture.
Do the two console versions actually have different boxart, or have places just not updated the art for the wii u version?
This is one of the first times I've ever been onboard with a female VA immediately.
