[Ōkami]

So, I was checking out facebook and this pops up.

Now until the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, we’ll be exploring the Hyrulian landscape with new screenshots.

Screenshot 1

No mention how often screenshots will come out, daily, weekly, randomly no idea.

 

[3DShovel]

Such a good looking game.

 

[Otakumegane]

Really hope those aren't Switch version screens.

 

[DecoReturns]

Pic of the Day returns?

 

[Kindekuma]

Man, I really enjoy the art style of BotW.

Cel shaded texture work, enjoy the model styles, lighting, etc, are all great.

 

[JazzmanZ]

Pic of the day, Takamaru joins The Legend of Zelda Breath of the wild as an assist trophy!

 

[Serenitynow]

Really hope those aren't Switch version screens.

Lol why? It looks beautiful...

 

[3DShovel]

Shitting up the thread early I see. Glad I stole first post.

Game is visually appealing -- maybe not the most technologically advanced, but it just looks good.

Not everything needs to have 8xMSAA to look good.

Meh, why am I arguing with you? lol

 

[James Scott]

Really nice use of colors in comparison to the washed out videos they kept posting.
I like it

 

[Effect]

Rarely go on facebook so I hope people will repost them here.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Really hope those aren't Switch version screens.

1) facebook compression

2) the switch handheld will have a 720p screen so image quality will likely be on par with the Wii U version

3) Nintendo's Wii U lineup had pretty much unanimously poor (or no!) antialiasing so I wouldn't get your hopes up for much better

 

[BY2K]

SMASH DO...

I MEAN ZELDA DOJO BABY!

 

[hughesta]

Game looks gorgeous as is.

 

[Platy]

My body is ready for Dojo Zelda.

I guess this gives less credibility to the delay rumors...

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Please don't reference the Smash thing that took years off my life.

 

[Manoko]

Really hope those aren't Switch version screens.

Should have been first post.
I still wish to this day the Switch was a *real* home console.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

I love that it's clearly at least 2 types of trees in the shot. I don't play enough games to know if this is common or not.

 

[cheez124]

oh god, pic of the day returns

I don't see how.

[BY2K]

So is this an area in perpetual fall season or is there actually a season cycle in the game?

 

[mantidor]

I guess I'll have to make peace with the fact the trees look ugly and there is not going to be any improvement on them.

It's mostly a nitpick, I think it looks fantastic, I just wish they showed us more than just forests, we know there are other environments. Maybe is for the best so they don't spoil too much.

 

[Thatoneguy64]

Really excited for Breath of the Wild. Love how it looks, love how it seems to play, love how open it is. I'm a long time Zelda fan and I'm pumped.

That being said, I'm really disappointed he seems to be right-handed in this outing. I was hoping we'd get back to Link being left-handed. It's not like we really have any other left-handed heroes =/

 

[Killer Queen]

Day 1 with switch.

 

[Kouriozan]

That looks really pretty!

 

[brandonh83]

Gorgeous. It's gonna deliver hard.

 

[KelpPlankton]

I have to keep reminding myself that this game's going to be playable on a handheld system, still blows my mind.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

That's the million dollar question.
Hope for the latter, expect the former.

 

[Polygonal_Sprite]

So is this an area in perpetual fall season or is there actually a season cycle in the game?

I would say it has a full seasonal cycle maybe linked to the story ? Seems to tie in with the huge scale of the World.

Game looks beautiful, such pretty art design.

 

[Otakumegane]

1) facebook compression

2) the switch handheld will have a 720p screen so image quality will likely be on par with the Wii U version

3) Nintendo's Wii U lineup had pretty much unanimously poor (or no!) antialiasing so I wouldn't get your hopes up for much better

1. Point taken.

2. Already have numerous sources saying perf will be different when docked this matters little.

3. This is a different console.

 

[Shahadan]

I doubt we're going to see such a huge world change seasons.

 

[trutrutru]

Not bad. But i Hope it looks better on the switch.

 

[Zebei]

When do we get a pic of just Link's nose?

 

[udivision]

Why do we need to split hairs about the graphics?

This is the final send off to the PS3/360 era of graphical fidelity, albeit in 2017. It doesn't need to be anymore or any less than that.

 

[Skittzo0413]

This might not be pic of the day, strictly. Though if it is that'd be lovely!

The big question about "from now until launch" is- when is launch??

 

[Schnozberry]

Fall=Decay so it kind of fits the theme.

 

[bumpkin]

Precisely what I want to know.

At this point, I'm not sure if I will get this on Wii U or just wait/hold out for the Switch version. I don't intend to get both.

It's a Zelda game, it's going to be divisive no matter what.
Skyward Sword confirmed best Zelda in a few month!

 

[Platy]

I don't see how.

Depends on the frequency, but from now till March or from now till June/July is a SHIT TON of more images to post.

Also hard to see marketing tools like that to start so early. And no the dojo does not count because sakurai is not a regular dev

 

[HylianTom]

92 days until Friday, March 17th. That'd be a lot of daily screenshots.

Spoiler

{wakka-wakka!}

 

[HawthorneKitty]

So uh, we getting an hour long GameXplain discussion each day?

 

[Icolin]

Please be excited for the Legend of Zelda: Seasons of the Wild DLC based on dungeons from Oracle of Seasons arriving Fall 2017.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Is that near the level where we search for the chaos emeralds?

 

[Shiggy]

Really hope those aren't Switch version screens.

If you followed the recent work of the Zelda team (Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword), you'd know not to expect a graphical masterpiece. It will look alright, but keep your expectations on track.

92 days until Friday, March 17th. That'd be a lot of daily screenshots.

{wakka-wakka!}

June 9

 

[TreIII]

I have to keep reminding myself that this game's going to be playable on a handheld system, still blows my mind.

Oh, yes.

I am so there for the Switch port, just for the idea of being able to play this game no matter where I am.

 

[ReyVGM]

I reeeally doubt that if they are going to be posting frequent screenshots, then the game can't be coming out too long after the Switch's launch. My guess is that it won't make the launch, but it will release in April or something. I don't think they'll wait until June (as rumored).

I really hope I'm right.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Those compression artifacts ruin that image. x;

 

[FireBeaver]

This is gonna be just like pre-release Brawl, isn't it?

 

[Skeletos311]

So, 6 months of Plateau screens?

 

[Vena]

Are they going to use this to finally confirm Captain Falcon!?
