I was surprised by the 'futuristic' elements they had on some of the weapons and enemy designs. It almost seemed like the Lanayru parts in Skyward Sword with advanced civilisation being decayed.

I think it's one of the best arguments for the game taking place pre-Skyward Sword, in the ancient civilization. That and the lack of a green tunic.

you morons, this link is in the 11-13 age range, he's no lady

WW is somewhere in the 8-10 age range while TP/SS Link around 16-18 years old

What else is there to talk about? It's not like they showed any gameplay.

Something factual? The locations shown in the background, anything Aonuma said (don't know, watched at work with sound off), how nice the cel-shading looks and engine runs, real things about Link's design (no hat?)...

But let's pretend Link's a girl. He's not, and it's dumb to "believe" otherwise, not that I really think anyone actually believes it.

It'd be cool, but it's not happening. Oh well, I guess everyone's having fun trolling.

But what happens in SS is the origin of the actual legend of Zelda. So I very much doubt this game will be set even earlier.

Hmm. Well, actually you're right, some stuff is down there. That temple, and stuff. So ok, what I wrote wasn't really correct. But I'm pretty sure that's Hyrule Castle off in the distance, and that definitely didn't exist in the SS days. Hyrule didn't exist (as a kingdom). And SS is the origin story for the legend the series is about, so I don't think we'll be getting another "first game".

You never can tell with Nintendo. They seem to like going backwards through time with the Zelda series.

I wasn't too sure about the artstyle at first, but it's starting to grow on me. Seeing it in motion looks beautiful.

That video looked absolutely gorgeous.

I fully expect this to be delayed to 2016 or 17 though.

By next year it'll have been in active development for 3 years, which sounds about right. We'll get a big blowout trailer for 2015 E3 and a Christmas release to evoke festive Ocarina feels.

Count me in on getting a Wii U GAF!

I have said multiple times that the Wii U is dead. I regret everything.

Of course people are nitpicking how it looks. Link looks like Link, It didn't strike me as any more of a departure as any other previous rendition.

Definitely. Although I was so sure they would go for a child timeline game (if it is indeed pre-SS). I suppose story and artistic constraints are a factor here.

Rethinking those conventions brah. They told the origin story for all the previous games, so now the legend kinda seems stale, right? We know the reasons for why things happen. The magic is gone. So I can understand why they'd want to tell a story not bound by those
Hylia and Demise reincarnation
restrictions. Right?

I don't know why people doubt Nintendo when they lose their shit when Nintendo come out with the inevitable. Just admit it Nintendo has us all and owns our wallets with an iron fist! :p

In typical Nintendo cycle there are still people that don't believe the WiiU can run what was shown today.

Good thing crows are not threatened with extinction.

It looks like a good portion of the SM3DW team is making that Captain Toad game. I suspect the rest of EAD Tokyo are working on non-Mario games if that is the case.

Does anybody here think that there's a chance of us ever getting MM3D? They're launching Hyrule Warriors and this one already. Perhaps as an early summer/late spring release, like OoT3D? That'd mean 2014/08 - 2015/05? 2015/11? for HW - MM3D - ZU.

I'll wait until the next christmas / season after launch. Look at what they did with OoT3D.

Congrats, bro! Wish I had the funds so I could join you, would've bought it the day WW HD released.

By the time Zelda U releases I'm likely already graduated with a full time job. Perfect timing. :)

Guys, you can't deny she's a she.

She looks like Raitoningu, which is good for Zeruda.

For any other game I would say that is a female, but it is pretty hard to tell in Zelda sometimes, especially artworks... and with this being stylised, there is a possibility it's still a male Link.

But we'll see soon enough, although I don't think it's something Nintendo would necessarily care about changing.

I like the goats at the start of the trailer also looks some type of npc to the right, a goat herder? Who knows, but it's giving the impression the world won't just be a barren wasteland.

Honestly, if it was another "traditional" Zelda game, I wouldn't be nearly as excited. I was tiring on the formula--I never even made it halfway through Skyward Sword and I've been a fan since childhood.

Excited to see what they'll do with an open world.

This looks goddamn amazing.

Wind Waker was the best looking Zelda game, but this is looking to take that throne away.

As soon as Nintendo fixes my GamePad I need to go back to Skyward Sword... or I could just hook my damn Wii back up I guess.

I absolutely love Link's new design. I love the change of pace they're going for with this game, I'm very, very pleased that this is going to be something completely different.
