They also showed Pokemon, which only got a fraction of the mentions
Would probably depend if the licensing costs works out for them. I imagine that's why we're getting a remaster of the first three games rather than new entries.
It has got such a godawful name. Thats why.

Horizon seems about right. Why do you think it should be talked about more?

Expected and undeserved, game looks bland and derivative.

Yep. This game blew away all the other games. It's in its own stratosphere.

I'd assume that if any of the other games got the level of coverage that Nintendo gave to Zelda, they'd have been talked about more as well.
Not that Zelda doesn't "deserve" this, but still, the figures may not mean much.

What have you been smoking?
I thought it was one of the more interesting games shown throughout the past few days (barring Zelda of course). I guess it has the fact that it's not really a surprise this E3 against it though.

Most of it is because of no female Link.
I would certainly hope so since it is the only game they have at the show... it would be pretty bad for them if it was talked about less than FPS#2347 or OPENWORLDGAME#5487 coming from one of the other platforms... even though I'm quite worried this game will suffer the same way most other open world games suffer.

Hmm, Horizon Zero Dawn is really low for such a great looking game 
Zelda is shaping up to be a great game and after the very flawed (but still great) Skyward Sword I'm sure the long presentation reassured a lot of people.
Really hope it's successful for Nintendo, people need to reward them for finally being more ambitious with one of their flagship series.
Not surprised that Watch Dogs 2 is placing high, the game looks much better than the first one. I expect it to be very successful unless it's a buggy mess.
BF 1 going to clean house when it releases, poor Titanfall 2.

It's as if the first sold millions and millions of copies or something.
Mind blown at how high Crash is on that list. The Bandicoot is saved.

Look at the hysterical hyperbole in these Zelda threads, people losing their shit over a game that looks and plays like it's from 2008, and tell me who is the one smoking.
I'm actually a little embarrassed for GAF for losing it's objectivity over this game. If it was being released by Ubisoft and called The Legend of Belda it would be written off as an outdated, mediocre looking action RPG.
But GAF told me Watch_Dogs was a shitty game so why would people care about a sequel?

Death Stranding was been my unsurpassable mark so far. Only thing that could stand up to it would be Bloodborne 2 or a new Chrono game. But I get why it's hard to talk about outside of saying "what did I just see?"
suffocating and jarring is right up my alley.

The Legend of Belda isn't an established franchise.

As it should be
Im blown away with just how far they have taken Zelda in the right direction

As someone who plays primarily on PS4, the new Zelda game blows my mind. Not because it's a Nintendo game, but because of what it actually is.
Surprised by both Horizon (game of the show again for me, easily) and Spiderman PS4 (big surprise for people not on Gaf all day I would imagine) being so low, Spidey in particular should have been a total buzz on social media one would think.
Good for Nintendo though (if it means anything), the game looks great!

Well most Nintendo fans have multiple consoles, soo....literally any if the other games.
Because Watch_Dogs "delievered" very poorly.

I think this was a given just by the Zelda name alone.

I really don't think so
because it's E3. This is incredibly obvious.
I enjoyed the irony of your post.

Good looking popular games do this. A good Justice League movie trailer will do good as well. Brands, yo, how do they work?!
Lol. Serious, show me other open world game you can do all the stuff you can do in this Zelda.

I am by no means a Zelda hater and was looking forward to seeing what Nintendo had to offer, I am flabbergasted at the reaction from GAF. People urinating themselves over a companion locked behind an Amiibo like it is some kind of extreme revolution in gaming, and claiming the graphics are incredible because there are some ok looking explosion effects. I don't think I have ever seen anything like it, all the other big games announced at E3 have had fanboys and counter-fanboys and somewhere in between is the reality, but with Zelda it's full on kool aid psychosis.
I very much doubt the paying public will share this mentality unless the NX version is significantly, significantly better across the board.

I mean, does being a Zelda game help? Absolutely. Is it the only reason this is such a success? Not a chance
I remember looking at the trending videos tab on Youtube last night and saw the trailer was number one and no other videogame was in the top rankings. Not sure how Google/Youtube propagate that list, but I knew it was big.
Also completely deserved, game blew everything else away.
