New mini-game idea: counting polygons on NPCs.

Oh there is so much gif worthy stuff in the new trailers. I'm on my phone now but i think skating Fi would be cool.

This game looks incredible - the art style, there are no words.

I, for one, am happy with the WW take on the overworld - traversing the fields in TP were the more tedious parts of that game. I remember the sense of adventure I'd feel in WW when seeing a small island in the distance and watching it get larger and larger as I approached. Haters be damned.

The overworld in TP was not only smaller but the means of transportation was much faster than sailing.

I'm not necessarily talking about time with my comparison, I just found the WW mode of exploration more enjoyable, even though it took longer to get from one place to another.

Wait.

Did Link just fuckin down a potion mid-run without missing a step?

It's pretty hard to tell at the moment but how do we think this will run on Dolphin? Is it doing things that Dolphin can't handle in terms of graphical effects etc?

I don't really equate tedium to "taking too long to do." It's just something that has to be done (could take any amount of time really) that I don't find particularly engaging.

In TP there might not have been a long distance to traverse to get from one zone to the next, but I didn't find those short snippets very interesting. It was the opposite in WW for me - boat rides took longer for sure, but at least I enjoyed the trip.

This game reminds me of Link's Awakening. The art style, the love interest, the extra minigames like mine-cart racing... super links awakening vibes.

Technically speaking, it is no different from wind waker. If anything, Wind Waker provides the illusion that you go between the areas because you're on the ground, but they are still self contained areas. The sky travel is cooler, but does make it seem more disjointed, but it is the same concept.

Which was fucking AWFUL. As much as I liked WW, the overworld was the worst part. We only got one real town, and even that was pretty small.

Oh well. We haven't had a nice overworld since the 2D Zelda games.

EDIT-Well, technically we had only one giant town in the 2D Zeldas followed by villages.

But I love the colors in this game. Reminds me of MC.

For some reason the part where Fi Dance around peaked my interest. We get to see more of her personality I think.

Obviously Hylians breed with the squid octopus thing and zora's are born.

Every character design is amazing. So much variety and imagination.

I agree. Every NPC looks unique enough to have a role. None of them look generic.

Skyward Sword looks worlds better than its initial reveal two E3s ago. I really think this could be the next Ocarina of Time in terms of being the Zelda game that redefines the series' formula. And, from the look of it, this game may be the best 3D Zelda yet.
