You took his post a little too personally. Yikes. Even resorted to calling him a fanboy. Stay classy.

I've seen nowhere near enough. In fact, the footage from TGA 2014 (I think?) even left a very sour taste in my mouth. Muddy textures, barren lands, and frame-rate tanked quite noticeably while zooming into the distance. So I'd very much like them to show it once more, probably at this E3, but this time a build that's almost done and polished to a certain degree.

Link riding his horse through a cookie cutter forest is not particularly exciting.
The 2014 trailer was good, but that was so long ago. The game may have changed quite a bit from then.

Yes, they've confirmed that more than once. But they haven't said yet whether it's also cross-platform coming to NX like Twilight Princess (but we all know it will).

It's announcement debut is not typical of Nintendo which usually waits until games are further along before showing them. I think it was never more than in a prototype phase until last year, but they decided to talk about it because they hoped that would increase Wii U interests and sales, but that didn't pan out for them.
Yeah, and looking at the TGA 2014 footage it's not for the better. Very rough around the edges, definitely not even close to being finished back then (release date was still Fall 2015).
I think that's why they've been reluctant to show it more, they probably want to polish it more before flooring us this E3.

No, I'd like more info to determine if this will be a good open-world Zelda or an open-world Aonuma Carnival of Puzzelda Choo Choo Train Wreck™
I do not yet have confidence that this will be a good Zelda game, but I am hopeful.

Yes, and according to the leaks it will be a Twilight Princess style release on NX as well.

nope, we really haven't see much of it. there was the video of them watching a video but all we really got was sight of the new visuals and a quick look at the map.
we'll be seeing more that's for sure.

I like Link's design so far because it implies some outcomes. I think this Link is being hunted down (would fit with the open world) and/or the classic hero garb needs to be sought after.

You mean random people on the internet?. There haven't been any leaks about the game

I could use some more info.

It's basically confirmed to be an NX launch title at the end of the year. It's been leaked.

We literally know less about this game than No Man's Sky.
No they mean the leaks that leak that was proven to be true that also said Zelda is coming to NX.

I would like to get one final big trailer where it show cases a decent amount and ends with the subtitle of significance being shown and a release date. I think it would only be enough then.
"Basically" meaning that's what a good number of people are guessing. It's a good guess, but lets not pretend it's anything more than a guess.

No, it's been confirmed with the reveal of Pokémon Sun and Moon. It's a sure thing.

I need to see some 1080p60 NX footage.

I'd actually prefer it be a NX only title so it could take advantage of the hardware. I think it's pretty obvious they want it on NX as well.
Sure, you're welcome to think that.

True, the reason being because when they do show they game, they'll show the better looking NX version.
It's happening. lol i don't get why people deny things in the face of overwhelming proof.

Regardless of leaks, the game is obviously coming to NX. You'd have to be nuts to honestly think there's a chance it isn't.
What exactly do I have to be disappointed about? Either way it's coming to Wii U. Until Nintendo directly says that the game has a dual release I will assume it's coming to Wii U only. Would it be nice for it to come to NX? Sure, but the position here to prevent disappointment is to expect the game only on Wii U.

the meltdowns are going to be crazy when/if the NX is not significantly more powerful than the Wii U.

Enough for me but I do expect something at E3 naturally.
I speed up time by forgetting about a game until it's actually near. I've trained my mind well.

Exactly. Something similar happened with Final Fantasy Versus XIII a couple of year ago, before it was re-unveiled as FFXV. The director even said the game was ready to be shown, but couldn't because of reasons "not related to the game itself". Of course, the reason ended up being they were waiting for PS4 to be officially announced and shown, and at that point the game was re-unveiled as FFXV.
I feel like the exact same thing is happening with Zelda Wii U here, besides the fact that Aonuma/Miyamoto aren't teasing a NX release at all. They could have definitely shown off Zelda at a Nintendo Direct or E3 last year, but they're clearly waiting for NX to have it's grand re-unveiling. Complete with epic trailer.
Until it's coming out of Nintendos mouth it's not confirmed at all. It's pretty likely it will come to NX but it would not be the first time a leak being only partially true.
Yeah all those darn puzzle Zeldas, that thing that has been in existence since 1991.
No, we didn't see anything at all. I don't want Nintendo to spoil all the game like with SS promotion (I was naive enough to think that, as usual, the three regions were just the first part of the game and after that a new map/dark world would uncover), but I want to see something more than Link in a plain with Epona. Some gameplay, the first dungeon/boss, your village/town, some interaction with the map and NPCs, and MUSIC from the game.

Started to feel this way after last year's delay and subsequent absence from the public eye. While there has never been a mainline Zelda game that could be considered "bad" even from the most liberal of standards, they way this game has only seen 14secs of direct feed video and NO AUDIO WHATSOEVER , makes me lean toward the game being reinvented on the fly.
Part of me feels that Okami "Stole The Thunder" from Twilight Princess and I feel like there must have been another game that did the same thing to Zelda Wii U and I would guess that game is THE WITCHER 3. I know its not really close to being a Zelda game but there is something about it that makes me think that if that game didn't come out when it did then we may have already been playing The Legend of Zelda Wii U
We ain't seen shit!

Most likely. Quite sad when you think about it. How could the Wii U become such a mess?... I'm glad I own one though.

Hyrule Warriors will have to do.
Assuming that it's out this Fall, we'll get a more thorough preview of the game around E3.
Nintendo always announces Zelda games too early. It doesn't get people to buy their current system in great numbers, so I am not sure why they don't just hold off until the game is closer to release.
