What if the "dark world" of this game is the pre-apocalyptic version of the world, theoretically doubling the size of the map
i shouldn't do this to myself

inverting gravity,
rewinding time,
switching temperatures between room to generate wind currents,
freezing objects in time to make rube goldberg machines
I'm expecting it all
No in this thread, please.
Not even after the first 3 dungeons. It could be one of the first things you do. Possibly restoring a town. You can also clearly see that there are ruins around the Temple of Time including some hut that can be restored. This is why Nintendo couldn't show us the towns. By the end of the game you would restore Hyrule to its former glory. The four pillars that are guarding the castle can be tied to the dungeons too, which was mentioned before as a possibility. Zelda is sending you on a mission to save Hyrule and this is how you are doing it.
I also hope that the final test before receiving the master sword is a fight against previous Heroes of Time to see if you are worthy.

Sounded like the FE:Awakening sound team to me -- which would be great, that's an amazing OST.
Context of that gif? Link to a full video?
Hmm, I'll need to see how much of a limit it is for weapons.
But please no weight shenanigans >.<
Korra definitely.

there's already a dedicated thread for that, keep this for discussion of the game itself

Based on the title and the trailer, I'm guessing there's a large emphasis on the environment and scenery this time around. Maybe more exploration focus.
Was about to say just this haha. I love you really Dennis <3
Wonder what it says that they still decided to leave the "strange old man" in it.
Though I guess he still serves the purpose of showing off the game having a quest system.

Perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.
Yo, imagine if Nintendo went ahead with the whole NX blowout with this game included...
Needless to say, it would have been the E3 of legends.

As someone who doesn't really give a shit about open world, nor who is really that interested in the Zelda series, ... It actually looked somehow compelling?
off topic but still... man, that trailer was better than most of Book 2. So disappointing.
At least "Beginnings" pretty much redeemed the whole season.
Funny, that's completely unrelated to what i was talking about.
I criticize the over-world and you come back with "bu-but the combat in witcher is bad!"
What?
Sorry, i was under the impression they wanted to sell this game, so having a good showing was kind of important.
I guess we can criticize any other press conference pacing and all that, except this one!
Also, i don't think the art style is enough to make up for the short comings, that is my point.

Might be taking inspiration from Dark Souls and using music to make important parts like boss fights feel more epic.

Where can I see these 4k screenshots? I need a new wallpaper.
Edit: Lol nvm
Haven't seen this mentioned yet, but maybe people already noticed.
These are 3 images from the strange jumpcut in the trailer, at 2:03. Looks a lot like Phantom Ganon to me, especially this one:
If you slow down the trailer on Youtube, the yellow dots look a lot like eyes, and the yellow color matches with WW Phantom Ganon.

I'm skeptical but this is definitely the most interested I've been in a Zelda game in a long time. The world doesn't even come close to what games like TW3 have accomplished and that makes it feel like Nintendo is behind the curve a bit but their is real potential here. I'm excited to see how this turns out.
Women want to steal the Triforce's essence.
I have barely been able to get GAF to work over the past 5 hours or so, so I've been out of the loop. Probably a good thing, as I'm disappointed while everyone else is geeking out and it's probably better that I don't harsh the vibe. I'm already settling down from earlier, anyway.
Tomorrow I'll go through and try to really examine why I felt so let down and make a post out of it.
For now I'll say some of the stuff I really liked:
-The interactivity of the world - setting fires, flying around with the sailcloth on updrafts, shield-surfing, climbing mountains - all cool stuff
-The gear system - Zelda has had a 'reward problem' for ages. Not enough to find. The gear system (that every RPG has had forever to solve that problem, lol) fixes that, and looks well done
-The basic set up - Looks like Hyrule after the floods recede, with bits of all the various games thrown in. Intriguing.
-Link's design - It's pretty much perfect
-The fact that there aren't many items and you get the majority of them early on to give you freedom, and they're all useful in tons of ways. This is absolutely great.
-Just the freedom in general. The whole 'finding an area I can't handle yet' is always one of the most fun things about an open world RPG so it's good that this appears to be part of this game.

It's 'Calamity Ganon.' The E3 Demo that people are playing on the show floor ends with the strange old man telling you that 'Calamity Ganon' destroyed Hyrule 100 years ago, but was trapped in the castle, but is about to release.

I liked the music in the trailer. I hope to hear more in the game, which I think it's mostly going to be with story parts.
