I'm pretty sure main quest will be marked on the map. Can't be sure, but the very first tower on the plateau is marked.
My guess is if the quest giver knows the location they will mark it so it's not like you will always know where to go.

There sure is a lot of Zelda in this Zelda game.
Remembering the initial reception to the old Skyward trailers and other instances when incarnations of Zelda are introduced shown (including even in smash bros trailers), Zelda almost always catches the attention of gamers.
She's definitely the main character of the Zelda games, regardless of the fact that you play as Link. The one everyone is hyped to see the new design of, the role in the plot, etc.
In my opinion anyway.
Link rarely changes, he's almost always a young male in a little village who finds out he's a hero and has to go on some quest to save Hyrule from Ganon (that's right HYRULE, not JUST Zelda), I think BotW is one of the only ones to mix it up. But Zelda always changes and has interesting new incarnations.

So Link's finally gonna get some on screen right? Or he'll die.
Yeah that is why the game is called the Legend of Zelda, she also is revealed to be a mortal goddess in Skyward Sword so it makes sense the games center around her.

Gaf, Do you want to protect her?
No. I want to marry her.

But, but... she's a girl!
As is the case with the past few games, it seems she is playing said role in BoTW, as we can see her protecting Link with her magic in the trailer
Also she's the one who puts Link to sleep so that he can heal and later wake up and save Hyrule in the future?

Stop. This debate has been beaten to death.
It's not a matter of year and having to put character choice everywhere. Nintendo wants Link to stay the only playable character (and to be male) as said in countless interviews. That's a design choice.
That doesn't make Zelda less important for some reason.
Can we have a Zelda thread without a mention about Horizon, playable Zelda (there's no hint about this) or female Link (that won't happen)? Seriously?

This new Zelda look is so much better than anything that came before. Must be the eyebrows

We know at most Zelda will communicate with you during the game, like Tetra does, because of how they mentioned you can make her angry at you. This means she'll definitely be more than a cutscene character!
Eh, that doesn't seem to happen much. It's more like Zelda is mentioned too much in Horizon threads.
The whole "nintendo is backwards for not making link a girl/for not making Zelda a Mary Sue" will never stop. Not until Zelda is the main playable character in LoZ and Link is literally stuck in a cage for the whole game. And Zelda needs to have Dante from DMC powers.
Is Zelda not popular in Japan? : O
I know Splatoon beat it out for trailer hype, but it came second!

Damn it Nintendo, I'm trying not to buy the Switch at launch, buuuuuuuuuut, hnnnnnnnnnnnng.
I think it's already a big step that Nintendo "feed" the fans who ship ZeldaxLink but never had real relationship besides being knight save/serve princess. So I'm happy that we will get a little more closer to her in this game.

The future looks bright.

They fucking nailed Links design. A lot better than those first shots we got.
Yeah, but there are dips here and there
Nope, you still have to kill its core. Damaging it won't kill it.

Splatoon 2 is hype personified (squidified), BotW is a distant second.
In the demo available to the press, it was mostly 30fps but it had a acouple of dips in 40 minutes related (according to DF) to dof and possibly streaming assets. We don't know about the final version, hopefully they were ironed out.

Same with the design of Zelda. Best in the series!

Ooh those videos without the music playing. Just hearing the sound effects.. So lovely.
Torn between Twilight Princess and BotW. Still, current Zelda is definitely beautiful.
New Link is brilliant, was getting tired of that tunic. Even more bish than ever.

Guy behind Link kinda looks like that (anti) Shiekah Knight thing from the Switch presentation trailer.
Except Ciri still fights, gets involved, and demonstrates her skills. Tetra had no qualms raiding the Forsaken Fortress to save the missing girls and Link himself. Then she puts on a dress and says "You go, I'm going to hide here."
Eh, he looks focused. Like he's getting all zen with his sword training or something. I dunno, we'll see how that cutscene plays.
Yeah that's their intention, but it just looks cheap. Then again Zelda games never had super intricate cut-scene animations so this is still a big step-up for them.

what has it being 2017 to do with offering character choice?
I can agree with that.
They look very emotive during the cutscene with Zelda crying in the rain though!
The most emotive they've been since Toon Link in fact
Tetra fights in her Zelda dress against the final boss, in fact without her light arrows you can't defeat Ganondorf. Not sure what you're trying to prove here.
