Yep, hopefully he's as expressive in cutscenes too instead of another TP style stare at everything Link.
He really look like a Disney character now.

slow clap!
Plus it's melee combat. The games with the most celerated melee combat in years (Dark Souls, DMC, and Bayonetta) don't have "smart" enemies either.

They have relentless enemies though.
there is a enemy that one-shotted link tho
This isnt Dark Souls, these are just regular villains thats out when your running around on the first area, no reason for them to be super hard
The game is looking soooo good

This is without a doubt my favorite art style Nintendo has produced for a zelda game. They have constantly been jumping around with the console games trying to figure out if they want a realistic feel or cartoonish feel. With SS you could tell they tried to be somewhere in the middle, but it looked off to me. BotW hits the sweet spot. It just looks good.
True, I'm only talking about the "dumb" AI point. Zelda needs to find its own balance seeing as it's not a character action game or an action RPG. As far as difficulty goes, the rock boss hits hard, and the Guardian lasers almost one shots Link.
The groups of bokoblins are just there as fodder so you can experiment dispatching them in creative ways using your tools/weapons (think Bill's "project" with the explosive barrels)
It feels like every other enemy encounter seen in BotW footage is GIF material for one reason or another, that's what's so amazing about it. Like stealing the arm from a skeleton bokoblin and using it as a weapon to kill his friends is a hilarious scenario, it's just a fun thing to discover even it lacks challenge and you could've just as easily killed them with the sword.
They've shown one area, with half-second clips teasing other areas.
dont remember guardians?
I agree. They finally nailed the perfect Zelda art style.

Looks good cannot wait for next year.

It's like that Crash Bandicoot idle animation when it's in a cold area.
Fantastic.
Across all the media we've seen for this game, enemy variety has been restricted to the usual series staple: keese, bokoblins, chus, etc. I'm not saying these are the only enemy types in the game, and I realize it's too early to judge; but I'd love to see some monster designs unique to this game.

Well, there was the Huge Club holding beast from the trailer and the mini-guardians.
invincible frames?

Probably because the Bokoblin wasn't actually attacking, there was no hit box to begin with.

The implication that high level enemies can one shot you quite easily or two shot you quite easily. Let alone higher level foes. A bit offtopic, best Link design since Wind Waker
This is somehow exactly what i've always wanted Link to look like.
Damn right. I love what they've done with him.
I wonder what Zelda is going to look like,
I know. I just want to see a few more of the new monsters in this game. Particularly the mechanical creatures.

Aint got nothing on Skyward Sword Link.

TP Link makes TP Link look like a piece of garbage.

This. WAY better than the Link from Skyward Sword with those weird looking lips.

I can't believe people are still saying that.
Nintendo never ever said they removed towns and NPCs from the E3 demo, they said they deliberately were not showing areas that contained towns and NPCs.
The Great Plateau is meant to be barren since its the destroyed location of old Hyrule town/castle/temple.
If people are expecting the Great Plateau to have a bustling town in the final game, then they'll be disappointed and blame Nintendo for lying about something they never said.

This really is the best looking 3D Link they've ever done. The LttP sideburns make me automatically associate him with the classic 2D Links and Saturday morning cartoons, which is the era that Zelda games were at their best. TP Link was hideous and SS Link was plain annoying to look at.

Really wish I could get the overworld battle music. It's so subtle, but fantastic in its delivery.

Yeah, the character model looks really nice. Link with a ponytail looks pretty cool and he doesn't have SS's weird lips. His eyes could be less round (pointier, like the pic below) and the close up of him shivering doesn't look 100% right, but it's the best Link model so far.

i think the best is still Hyrule Warriors Link, but thats the "realistic" type, more cartoony this Link is the perfect mix i just wish he had a smaller head :/

There are keese, Bokoblins/captains, slimes, guardians/mini guardians, the rock golem, stalfos, and whatever this is
Hyrule Warrior's Link's shoulders are too broad, but it's pretty good yeah.
The weapons look SO fun and satisfying to use. And GODDAMN Link and the graphical style in general look so good in a "I always wanted this my whole life" kind of way.
I am an open world believer even if many games don't pull it off. I have faith this game will. I always wanted a more open LoZ game.
If I can play this on the bus via NX, I will never again stop smiling.

Best Link model to date for sure. SS and TP Link looked good in concept art, bad in game.
