Welp, not I can't go back to sleep. Dammit OP. I'm too hyped.
God that cut in the music is even *more* awkward now. You even hear the sound effect cut along with the music, it's really weird.
gorgeous.

Yeah, at this point it's got to be something intentional, like they're snipping something plot important out of these trailers... that's also tied into the music somehow?
In the E3 trailer I just figured it was a moment of shoddy production, but that can't be it anymore. It either intentionally sounds like garbage for no reason, which would be truly bizzare, or it intentionally sounds like garbage for a reason.
EDIT: I've got it, that's the point of the song where Link's vocals kick in, and it's revealed Link is a fully voiced protagonist and this game is a musical.

This looks amazing, that frog moment
Can't tell if sarcastic or simply wrong.
I'm hyped as I've never been for this game and I will get it day 1 and even Kill if I nave to...but cmon get real...weather changes, day-night transitions...he have seen this stuff in every open world game on past gen.

And that's probably pre-patch Witcher 3 water, after Blood & Wine patch it, they managed to make it look even better. Considering the hardware Breath of the Wild runs on though, Nintendo did a fantastic job

Nintendo has always been some kind of wizard doing water on games. Mario Sunshine water was on a whole new league when it was released.

Yes and even past Zelda games had weather changes and day-night transitions so I'm not sure what exactly the problem is?
That artstyle is really gorgeous.

I love the idea you can potentially walk up to an enemy, not realising its a piece of the terrain. Could be used for a bunch of cool moments.
Edit: Also holy shit that thing on the side of Death Mountain

Just watching the trailers without music... holy crap... The ambient sound... I think I might actually prefer this Zelda this way versus having theme music everywhere.

The first one looks great, but your second example looks really plump imo. Sure, there are many good animations in other games for water. But i think nintendo puts a lot effort in animations in general and it often catches your eye.

Yeah it is magical thats not regular wind or air. You use up magic when you use it in windwaker and cant use it when its done.

Dude Witcher 3 is my favourite game of the last few years but 1. that second gif is not from the release build of the game and 2. wtf are you doing.

Most of Link's arsenal that is brought back from older titles rarely included some of the game-exclusive items (unless someone can correct me on that), such as the Deku Leaf from The Wind Waker, so I'm intrigued to see it's inclusion in this game.
That's the basis for a lit of my skepticism on the game. I've never been big on open world games having a bunch of different options if there are 1 or 2 that are functionally more efficient to get throughthe majority of situations. I realize that impresses some people, just not me. I'm hoping that there are enough areas set up to favor an obscure combination that will really make me WANT to experiment to find the best way, and not just to show off.
In general I really dig the art style but the fields and trees really do nothing for me. Water and characters look great though. Lightning causing a small grass fire is pretty cool.
This is not water, this is gelloYou clearly haven't played The Witcher 3
That got downgraded. It's not in the game.

Oh god please tell me we can turn off the HUD like in those Zelda videos. Looks so much better without that fucking circle stapled to Link's face the entire time.

I love the art style. Looks amazing.
However...have you never played a game with water in it for the last...I don't know....10+ years?? Heh
Or is that sarcasm?
Edit* Went to site, I see what you mean now.

I don't know what it is that Zelda does to people. Sometimes it makes them throw logic out of the window.
That being said though, this is a great looking game. I plan to get it on the Wii U (since I'm probably not gonna get the NX at launch).

Not sure. I'm guessing the user was just so excited that they couldn't help but make a hyperbolic statement. Zelda makes people crazy. : p
It doesn't need to be "special". Sure, other games have amazing looking graphics as well, but that doesn't make this game look any worse. The game and its artstyle look great for being a Wii U game.
