Nice art indeed. I really, really hope most of the regular characters will look nice too and not have circus freak faces and proportions like usual.

Well, we're almost assured to be getting gyro controls, which I couldn't be happier about.
If there was motion control we would have seen them already in the VGA footage.
They just decided to make him right-handed for some reason.

Less than a week to go until Link is literally confirmed to be a lady

Damn straight. Link IS androgynous.
I hope male Link keeps that aesthetic in this game.
*EDIT* To clarify, I think that's your usual male Link in that artwork. I have no qualms with a female Link, however.
Yeah Zelda is a game where gyro really does help. Shined in the 3DS remakes and WWHD (haven't played TPHD, but I assume it's similar).
Art looks great, wish it was larger. Absolutely down with the new tunic.

Perhaps a bit off topic, but I don't think there's a thread yet for it, I assume booth construction/crates photos ought to start appearing any day now. I saw Wario64 tweeted one a while ago (not of Nintendo's booth though).
The amount of demo kiosks for The Legend of Zelda should be quite substantial.

This art is really, very beautiful. I am especially impressed with the lighting. But I must say, I'm not sure If i like the "underpainting" look to it. Underpainting meaning a lower layer of a painting, before the significant details get added... Maybe they are just giving us these as teases, but I would really like to see something more finished, with an environment, and a more concrete style, like the Wind Waker or Skyward Sword art possessed.
I am only being critical because I honestly think this is the best art style they have ever done for Zelda, and I guess I feel very connected to it!

Please, no.
Women without breasts exist, you know. That's a thing in the real world. Would be nice if we could acknowledge that (and even nicer if Nintendo actually made male and female link completely visually identical aside from one or two distinguishing features that aren't breasts).
Oh, and bindings are a thing too. And sports bras tend to have a binding effect as well (though I suppose those wouldn't necessarily exist in a Zelda world).

And that's what people should think about when it comes to Zelda. It doesn't matter if she's male or female, link has always been androgynous (As is right in line with Japan's long history of androgynous beauty in art), and it wouldn't have to affect the story if the gender changed. We should be willing to play Link regardless of the form, and I'm more than happy to have Link be female. I think it would be a fun change.
Exactly this. I would love it if they allowed you to choose your gender and it resulted in zero visual change. It would be a good reminder that many, if not most, of our gender constructs are societal, not biological.
Horses can be quite big.
Unrelated, but I also heard they don't run into trees very often.

I need a detective gaf on this post, stat. Does this man know something, I must know what

Because in this game, Epona is a boy.

Epona was always based off the Haflinger Breed. An alpine Breed used to tow heavy weights but also to ride.The art is sweet, eponas design kinds reminds me of some big old work horse, Clydesdale maybe? No doubt perfectly suitable for mounted battles

Might simply be referencing the sine integral of "X" or "X DAYS", due to his username.
For what purpose I don't know.

I feel like we've been looking at the same art and sparse screens for years now. E3 can't come soon enough.

So for the first day of Nintendo at E3, we'll only get Zelda and Pokémon?

Doesn't look particularly androgynous to me. I think since Twilight Princess he's meant to look like Miyamoto, and his thin eyebrows together with big anime eyes kind of turns effeminate. Only since maybe Skyward Sword did it take a turn for the androgynous, but not outright girly like in the Zelda 2017 art.

They will release their E3 press kits on that day, so all sorts of announcements, release dates, and game confirmations will happen regardless of what cycles on the Treehouse Stream.

The actual renders of the characters tell a different story. Link has been androgynous for a long time, even if that artist representation in what you posted makes it look more masculine.
OoT
Twilight Princess
Wind Waker
Hyrule Warriors
Its androgyny pretty much everywhere.

Yes, his face since OoT is androgynous, its not the face you would usually give a man, also over the years androgynous characters have been drawn to look more and more effeminate over the years, to the point that we can look back and they seem manly in comparison.
remember when people thought marth was a girl in melee?
Well here's libra from FE;A
Also I dont think link has ever looked even close to like miyamoto despite link being miyamoto.
