Have we got any new footage of Zonai Ruins? I can't wait to see that jungle area in full.

Hopefully Fierce Deity Link. (I really hope he makes a huge comback soon.)

I've seen enough now, The old man kind of spells it all out. Still, I wonder why they haven't shown the Gerudo champion in any marketing.
I dunno, I kinda like the "beep boops" plus with me reading the text it gave me full control when I wanted to advance the text which is great for me as I am slow reader.
Oooh, I am so getting the Twilight Princess Amiibo as that's my favorite version of Link.
There's a Halberd weapon. Didn't get to see it's moveset though. Could just be a spear ditto though.

Anyone know if there are musical instruments for Link to play in the game?

He just has a copy of Fruity Loops on his slate this time.

That hasn't been the case for Zelda in years.
I love how ruthless those spiders(?) are.
Straight to Hyrule Castle speedruns are gonna be a sight to behold.

Whatcha talkin' about, holmes?
I read through all the data. Not many surprises in general. Game only has a handful of enemy types lacking even the most traditional tacktites. Main boss battle with a few forms of Ganon. Wolf Link is more of a dlc amiibo. No Midna.

Is all the surprises that came up. Didn't know a Skyward Sword amiibo existed.
Story so far is standard children's fairy tale. Easy to follow, no past knowledge of games required. Who knows, might be one holly crap moment no one saw coming, but in truths what we see is what we get.
This might actually get me to buy this game :|
I guess I'm playing this game like it was MGSV if I want to go to Ganon that early.

I really hope they keep things simple story-wise. I really can't stand the convoluted mess many stories have became in Japanese adventure games.
He actually got pretty far. A pretty neat vista on top of that mountain.
Let's all pray for a Tingle amiibo in the Majora set.
It's gonna be amiibos of the four Link transformations, I'm betting it now.
I imagine you're not supposed to be there, what with the 1HKO enemies all over the place. It is very interesting to see how many approach options there are, climbing and scouting out the safest path is going to be amazing to speedrun.
The name Cohorint appears on the pastebin
For some reason people are connecting that to Koholint Island. Hey maybe Cohorint isnt even an island

Naw, Salty has a meaning and a use. You just don't like it. Go shake ya cane at some kids being too loud outside lol.
But anyway...I feel 50/50 on watching that youtube leaked scene. Im happy but then...kinda sad cause I wont be surprised lol.
Well...
Look at the island at the bottom right. The shape is almost identical to artistic depictions of Koholint Island.
So it might be possible.

We haven't seen any of the Memories (cutscenes with Zelda) nor any interaction with the 4 champions, so it's a bit early to be saying "no story at all".
Jeez, the Castle Town got jacked.

Have I got it right, that if your stamina runs out while climbing or swimming, you'll fall or drown? Is it theoretically possible to immediately climb down the overhang you walk to, after you leave the stasis room you start the game in? Maybe with the stamina you begin the game with, you can just climb down far enough so that the fall, after the stamina runs out, won't kill you? It's first thing I'm gonna try Friday. I'm gonna try every thing. Btw, has anyone seen link do a roll? I'd like to know if you can roll up against the tree, so as to make it drop stuff - there might be no rupees in the grass, but maybe there are still rupees in the trees?
Probably, but at the same time there was no reason to assume if that was the same island because Koholint was nothing but a dream. Then again, it was the Wind Fish's dream, so maybe that's why the island is back.
In a GameXplain Q&A they said they didn't think there was any way to roll. But you could always climb the trees to see if there are rupees?
I don't know about your question about climbing down the first cliff, but I suspect they wouldn't make it that easy for you to get off the plateau without the glider.

Pretty sure climbing down the plateau wall early forces you into a fall to your death, someone tried it in the demo.
And no, money doesn't grow on trees in this game, but you can sell apples for rupees if you like.

So do we know how many towns there are and how big they are yet?
TheKingOfSheep

I bet a speedrunner will be able to do it, before long. But I suppose you need the glider. If that item is essential, I guess the rest of the map could've been made sort of inaccessible due to the height of the plateau and the limited stamina. Still, nothing will stop me from trying.
Actually they excavated the guardians and divine beasts, unless I missed something we don't know precisely who constructed them, adding some ambiguity. The story is meant to be a recurring legend or myth, myth contains various recurring motifs throughout tome and memory. I mean do you complain that all myths are boring because omg ragnarok, psh basically just revelations with a different coat of paint! ? Or omg eliscium just greek heaven lol boring! ?
It's established that the hero, the goddess (zelda) and demise (Ganon) are fated to reincarnate throughout time and relive their struggle pretty much eternally, why should then, that be surprising or dissapointing that that is the new Zeldas story in broad strokes. The interesting stuff is in the doing, and in the playing out of this iteration on the legend, and it appears damned interesting and entertaining indeed in this case. Afterall, given what we know from Skyward Sword any other story is ultimately an aside to this archetype.
Besides not everyone thought the old man was the king, many guessed rauru or even Ganon himself.

Yeah if there's a way to skip the detection area then it should be possible to get down, but I wouldn't bet on it if they have a simple height check.
I've been seeing some complaints that there isn't much enemy variety. I haven't read every bit of the pastebin, but I wanted to compare past games. All info stolen from wikis. Numbers may be a bit off since they count hazards like swinging blades and falling rocks as enemies.

OoT: 66
Twilight Princess: 78
Skyward Sword: 52
A complaint I had about Skyward Sword is the lack of enemy variety. If BotW is also lacking, I can see it being considered a negative, but even with limited enemy types, they can still be creative in terms of placement, grouping, and how they function.

I had no idea that Akuma had a thing for horses, let alone had a freaky centaur baby with one.

I'm going to assume there are different color Lynels that are even stronger. They look pretty intimidating.

Whats that symbol on the left below the buttons, looks like an elephant. One of the beasts?
I bet its scripted so you die regardless of stamina. Still, I hope a spedrunner can figure out a way to skip the glider asuming is not required to navigate hyrule castle.

According to the 4chan user, you can also attempt to ride these enemies (like you would a horse) to attack them.
One of the "Broken" abilities you get when you beat a dungeon.

It seems when you beat a dungeon you unlock some pretty powerful runes relating to the divine beasts, not sure exactly what they do though.

The Link doesn't work for me.
Oh, I was thinking it was telling the player the beast is active in the area. What you say makes sense tho.
