Nah it runs like any digital version of the game. It installed onto the Wii U itself's memory if you want it to.

ya I agree
--- here are those same images, now hidden for those of us who don't want last years e3 coverage spoiled Wii U - retail vs. e3 build
Lol well that's better than what was going on in here. Good luck with that thread.

All of the interiors just seem to look brighter in the retail version versus the E3 version. I'm betting it was just a design choice, albeit probably a poor one.
Or maybe it was a trade-off they made to get some increased draw distance.

More likely a trade off, almost everything else improved
Yeah, I should really stop watching these gameplay videos and gifs. I keep spoiling myself on the cool little interactions in the world.
I probably won't though.
There's a guy streaming it right now

With all the reports of frame drops. Sound like they made a huge ambitious game here.
Past Ocarina, I don't remember Zelda games having having too many problems in that department. I know WW HD had some with the cannons and of course the intentional for stylistic reasons.
Still I'll take some performance issues for the sake of a new type of Zelda game.
March 3 is so close...I'm temepted to buy it midnight, wish I could preload.

There's a mix of people here, it's not just one single goal
- People who want to make informed purchasing decisions
- People who are finicky 100% tech spec minded
- Nintendo have done a really poor job of explaining differences between the systems, how things will work etc
- People who specifically are interested in planning their in-game goals now eg: The first thing I want to do is tame a horse, or the first thing I want to do is go to find <zelda race> of people, where should I go?
- Others are hardcore timeline Zelda lore nerds, they want to glean as much extra information now, spoilers or not they just want to memorize, collate and probably write up 50 wiki pages
- Speed runners surprisingly enough, where to go first, what to unlock first etc
- People who have no idea what Zelda is (Savages, plebeians!) and are trying to get a feel for what the game has to offer
- People who are board and just want to watch it all unfold
- People who want to data mine so they can spoilernuke twitter/facebook/reddit/yourmother etc
If any of you are reading this and you don't fit into these categories feel free to add your case.

spoiler i guess for the main theme music

that horrible cut about 30 secs into the song is still there in the final theme, or atleast in the track staff roll 2

you know playing OOT and then Majora's mask until the BOTW comes out I just got the master sword in OOT and the first thing that gets said is
"Link... Wake up Link"
thought it was interesting that its the same line in OOT and BOTW
"Link... Wake up Link"
thought it was interesting that its the same line in OOT and BOTW
So basically BotW is a new timeline where Link doesn't wake up 7 years later, he wakes up 100 years later? lol
That's a crazy bender.

I wouldn't say that. But with a lot of people believing that it is OOT link after he fails (and I'm really hoping this is the case though it could easily be another link later in the downfall timeline) it would represent a sort of 2nd chance for the Hero of Time.

I do find it a little unfair that Nintendo didn't send out copies of BoTW wii U for reviews.
I do understand that they want to get the best version out there so they can get the best reviews, but what's being reviewed isn't what the consumer is getting in the case of the Wii U and they have no idea what they would be purchasing until it launches and reviews come out then.

We're trying to reign this back to reviewer preview stuff for the game, so if you want that Wii U footage, might as well go to the Spoiler thread or the IMPRESSIONS (no spoilers) thread.

That Spoiler thread got bigger lol, I wonder whats going on over there.
Hopefully all good news

How is the Wii U footage a spoiler if people only post stuff encompassing what the previews do?

I don't know what I expected from the Kotaku article about the BotW WiiU leak. Didn't really expect so many leaked assets though honestly.

True war steed right there.
The game has leaked so.... I imagine there are quite a bit spoilers.

And yet they somehow made it work :O
Well mostly,there is the possibility they are using more RAM from the OS if that Wii U impressions thread is true about the loading.

We only got one of those, and he's seen it already. The rest have been livestream links.
Sucks to suck then I guess.
the power of datamining I'm assuming.
Plus Nintendo wasn't lying when they said you can head to final boss from the start. Also no one better say that this is a spoiler since that's from Nintendo.
