It comes off as Zelda an Link may be more than friends in this version. Is everyone ok with that?

Doesn't skyward sword already do that?

never finished it.

media blackout here I come. I shouldn't have read

I've waited my whole life for this

 

[Ai_iki]

I'm from London... Where can I get one of these bad boys?

 

[JustSomeone]

Yet you are here, posting in a thread about it.

And here I thought it was a thread about the March edition of GameInformer

 

[LordOcidax]

GOTY cover.

 

[noomi]

But but but....

RDR2

 

[Arkeband]

Zelda looks like she's pregnant on the cover.

Was thinking the same thing.

That is a damn good catch! I didn't notice until just now that Link's side of the Master Sword is fully restored. Zelda's side is rusted.

Rusted would be the future, non-rusted would be the past, since that's how rust and the concept of decay works.

 

[Clefargle]

Haha, need to hear all the excuses from anyone that baselessly speculated about shrines replacing dungeons.

 

[The perfect Dark]

Anxious about the dungeons mention. I really hope they're not like the dungeons in the other 3D Zelda games and more like the dungeons in Skyrim. Or just slightly bigger of the micro dungeons that were available in the demos.

Last thing I want is for more hours long dungeons that kills my enjoyment of Zelda games. I was so down for the 100s of micro dungeons :/

Just hope the regular dungeons are short and sweet!

I hope this is sarcasm

Oh fuck yes. I hope that's consistent throughout the bosses. Elemental, no weird random Monsters Inc. Kraken nonsense. Offshoots of

Ganon

, yes. Yes.

Yes.

This is making me want to leave GAF and the Internet until I clear this game...the excitement and surprises feel like they shouldn't be spoilt.

I'm thinking of just being on the internet less with the Switch and just enjoying Gaming again when it comes out. Been too long since I avoided the internet.

 

[Astral Dog]

I don't think any Zelda game has had this amount of hype since Orcarina of Time

Twilight Princess???

 

[GulAtiCa]

Looks amazing

 

[CrazyHorse]

Looks like the game will have multiple Gannons. One from each timeline?

Is right in the fucking title

I wouldn't leave GAF, but I'd avoid the Zelda threads. Only a month now.

EXCUSE ME?

 

[moltonasty]

that art style ahhhh so good!

 

[Macchiato]

Doesn't skyward sword already do that?

Spoiler

never finished it.

Skyward Sword never made it past giving them a lame shallow "they like each other just because" relationship. They didn't even hold hands, they just looked at each other longingly.

I want them to have a realistic, romantic relationship here that hopefully goes past the point of "heehee we acknowledge that we like each other".

LIKE WHAT IF SHE'S ACTUALLY PREGGO FOR REAL IN THAT PIC

Spoiler

jk / kinda not jk

 

[JAYinHD]

Yawn yawn yawn.
But for all you Zelda fans out there, awesome & enjoy! It makes me wish I gaf about anything Nintendo, the excitement is almost infectious.

I mean all you had to do was keep it moving.

 

[Salty Rice]

Guys i think dungeons are confirmed.

 

[RareFantasy64]

I haven't been this excited for a game since TP came out

Guys i think dungeons are confirmed.

(Spoiler for something said in the video in the OP)

Spoiler

I think in the video they said the completed one dungeon, so that's a good point. Perhaps that is confirmation on "real" dungeons being in the game.

"I really hope the dungeons or not good. And more like terrible."

 

[udivision]

I came in here looking for a picture, what happened next will surprise you!

 

[Mediking]

And so many people seriously thought RDR2 was gonna be the cover...

 

[LotusHD]

Guys i think dungeons are confirmed.

We need more proof!

 

[MouldyK]

Nah, I'm thinking I spend too much time on the internet as it is rather than game.

With the Switch, I'll be able to game everywhere and not use the internet for fun.

God I love the art of this game so far. March 3rd can't come faster

When will the issue come out?

[AGoodODST]

Well that's dungeons 100% confirmed for those still in doubt.

Can't wait to see what puzzles they have come up with.

 

[crooked spin]

I was hoping that BotW's adherence to Zelda 1's design and Skyrim inspiration would mean dungeons that aren't primarily puzzle focused and more combat focused.

Well... there's at least two of you out there: https://www.reddit.com/r/truezelda/comments/4it9r5/why_do_people_like_puzzles/

There goes the RDR2 rumor.

Not sure why anyone believed that anyway. RDR doesnt need a GI cover, they only need to put a red screen online and the world passes out haha

I'm just hoping it lives up to it.

 

[routerbad]

That's interesting, considering I've played every major Zelda game in existence except for one of the Oracle games and Spirit Tracks and enjoyed a good number of the games hmmmmm

I don't like Zelda's approach to dungeon design post Zelda II, excluding Triforce Heroes. I was hoping that BotW's adherence to Zelda 1's design and Skyrim inspiration would mean dungeons that aren't primarily puzzle focused and more combat focused. There is more to Zelda than just dungeons, so here's hoping that even if I hate the dungeon design, there is much to enjoy outside of it, which considering I've played it I know is a certainty!


Not the first, nor the last time I'll hear that! I am glad that there are differing opinions, though, because that makes for great conversation!

Your opinion here is fascinating! Given that the Zelda "formula" was cemented with ALttP and LA, due to the success of those titles, it's interesting to hear someone say that they're more interested in combat centered gameplay (which was a Zelda II focus that was widely unpopular). There was still a lot of puzzle solving in the first game, the puzzles themselves just weren't that difficult, but then that was at the dawn of modern game design.

Respect.

I personally enjoyed the linearity of TP, but that's not something most Zelda fans would agree with. It's action-adventure, and they've pretty much defined the boundaries of the genre itself with all of the experimentation with just this franchise, and that's exciting in and of itself.
