Holy shit, character names and info.

What are the names?

 

[DecoReturns]

That Falco looking character...they are gonna reference that he prefers the air aren't they.

 

[doop_]

What are the names?

My friend says the bird is called Reebaru and the Goron is called Darukeru.

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

Welp, that explains the "Fieldwork" thing. Shit I need to stop reading this.

fake edit: I read it all. Fuck.

How much is there?

 

[Panthalassic]

Also, there will at least be a Dash option when riding it:

Hey this screenshot has something else in it... (not HMK spoilers)

Spoiler

Permanent red hearts = heart containers confirmed?

Is it really spoilers? I mean it's a magazine with just snippets to get you pumped. Should be okay to read.

 

[Yonafunu]

Fieldwork ?

That's referring to the Zelda amiibo, it's apparentely referred to as 'Fieldwork' Zelda, or something like that.

IIRC.

 

[doop_]

My friend says this

"Darukeru is calm outside of battle, but a fierce warrior in battle
Nothing special on reebaru himself
But talks about who i assume to be the red zora, her name is mifa
Oh and reebaru is considered part of the rito race
Finally, talks about the blue clothing found on reebaru, mifa, and darukeru (as well as link)
Suggests its a plot point"

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

TELL ME

Spoiler

Princess Zelda goes around Hyrule exploring ancient ruins

.

 

[Yonafunu]

I'm guessing every race will have a champion, denoted by the blue colour. Link will be the Hylian champion.

The champions might also be the ones piloting the Divine Beasts, with the fifth one being a (probably hidden) Hylian Divine Beast, which would explain the fifth pillar. Or something. I'm just rambling at this point.

 

[Boss Doggie]

still looking the source, but there's the "commercial" ad online page for famitsu and it shows Zelda characters

notFalco's name is リーバル(Reebal?) and is literally Falco with braids hahaha

 

[Altazor]

If link talks in this game. His first words better something amazing.

"Believe it!"

 

[Graphics Horse]

I thought that but then I noticed two of the fish-folk have the blue sashes.

 

[LotusHD]

"Zelda is my waifu"

"Metal Gear?!?!?"

Hey this screenshot has something else in it... (not HMK spoilers)

Spoiler

Permanent red hearts = heart containers confirmed?

Extra red hearts and stamina was in the 2016 game awards footage, not a spoiler. I haven't read what some YouTube guy said yet though.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I really, really hope Kass has a recurring role rather than just an NPC for one dungeon.

 

[Skittzo0413]

Are we about to get into story/name spoiler territory?

 

[Graphics Horse]

I really, really hope Kass has a recurring role rather than just an NPC for one dungeon.

Isn't he a traveling minstrel? I thought they said something like that

 

[FloweryMarston]

I really, really hope Kass has a recurring role rather than just an NPC for one dungeon.

kass seems like the npc that gives you hints about nearby dungeons/shrines, so i'm sure we will see more of him. In his dialogue he even says "so we meet again".

 

[Pyrokai]

Pretty sure that bird guy MUST be a Rito.

 

[doop_]

Pretty sure that bird guy MUST be a Rito.

He is.

 

[Inferno313]

Does the Amiibo blurb have any news on what the BotW amiibo actually do?

Fuckin' a at the return of Rito and Koroks. Wind Waker finally getting it's due.

 

[The_Intruder]

Pretty sure that bird guy MUST be a Rito.

Spoiler

That's what the scan said

 

[Graphics Horse]

Are we about to get into story/name spoiler territory?

I can't tell. Famitsu has name for Rockman, Hawkguy and Fishwife

He is.

Consternation among timeline theorists as they ask 'Then why we still got seamonkeys?'

 

[Yonafunu]

I thought that but then I noticed two of the fish-folk have the blue sashes.

Those aren't the same thing though.

It looks like some of the Zora's design in this game are somewhat based on 19th century european military uniforms.

Look at the sashes, the shoulder pads and the chains(?) on the chest.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Oh good point. I only just noticed there's 3 fish folk in that top picture, manta guy between them and whale dude off to the right.

rito

The goddess works in mysterious ways or something.

YES! Doesn't that pretty much confirm that she's there in the present and not captured or asleep? That's all I ever wanted.

Man if blue-tunic Zelda is a traveller in the present this is going to be awesome.

 

[GAMETA]

"You know, Ganon, we really are the breath of the wild."

You know, Eddy, we are really overusing this joke.

[PrimeBeef]

Who else took March 3rd off for this?

...

I KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE!

I only plan my gaming vacations around WoW expansion releases. Single player games can be picked up at anytime. But I do happen to have vacation the week after it is released this year.

 

[akidnamededdy]

Toot toot everybody it's the joke police and I'm headed to the slammer

 

[Graphics Horse]

I think the Sand Walrus that Link uses to sandboard around might be a more fleshed out character or a companion.

I thought that at first too but there's two of them in that image, second one on the left, I think they are more like Gerudo sand horses.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Link wakes up from a 100 year slumber.

He speaks for the first time in history.

"I wonder what GANON'S up to?"

 

[Cucurbitacée]

No problem.

THE ENTIRE BLOCK BELOW CONTAINS MINOR/MAJOR SPOILERS Regardless of whether they're real or not, read at your own risk. They came from gamefaqs, my commentary is in bold.

Spoiler

- Link wakes up in the Shrine of Resurrection with amnesia
- Non linear story progression, certain events cause flashbacks, informing you of what's happened
- One of the dungeons connects Link to another warrior from 100 years ago, you switch between Link and this unnamed warrior in order to progress. It's in the desert area.
- There are several Resurrection shrines
- Zelda wakes up before Link, but seems to retain her memories
- OoT and TP Castle Town are both in the game, but are two separate locations
- A third intact castle and giant city exists named "Dragonthorn Fortress". (This is where it falls apart for me. That name doesn't sound like anything you'd see in a Zelda game.)
- The Calamity/pink cloud isn't Ganon's true form, just his magic/aura.
- You can go directly to Calamity Ganon at the start of the game but you'll probably die because you need a rune that "acts like a force field". When you get near the entrance to Hyrule Castle, he will spew flames/lightning at you which is an insta-kill attack without the rune.
- The Master Sword is put at the "Hero's Pedestal" by the Sheikah after you're put in the Resurrection Shrine (even though the trailer and box art imply Zelda is the one to do this)
- You can get poisoned (no context, this is all he says)
- He has no info on where this fits on the timeline.
- He later clarifies that you connect with the "Sheikah tech warrior 100 years in the past through a Sheikah Slate connection".

Ahaha! I hadn't read such nonsense in a long time, thanks for that; that's genuinely funny.

Spoiler

I'm still going with the theory that this will be a reference to the original NES Zeldas. In that there will be two princess Zeldas. One is an ancient one that sealed herself in Hyrule Castle with Calamity Ganon. You can hear her voice in the demo and see it coming from Hyrule Castle. That voice is different from the Zelda we hear in the recent trailer. The Zelda we see in the trailer is the modern day Zelda who hopefully will be playable.

Fake as hell

Who's HMK?

Someone that makes money off youtube doing what he loves.

Is Falco's name rival or rivaru?

 

[ReyVGM]

Some new Zelda footage in this trailer, including names of minibosses:

Spoiler

Molduga has "North Dragon's Exile" and Hinox has "East Gut Check Rock"

(wtf?)
