I listen to the trailer music every day now... It's not healthy man...
Pretty much same here. Wish we could already get a hold of the actual soundtrack, but I understand why not.
Why would you need to disable something that you have to seek out to use? I am unaware of any WiiU game that is in your face about using Amibos.

We need Sheikah resurrection chambers. Though we have to remember to set them to 32 days rather than 100 years. That would be kind of depressing if we missed BotW by 100 years.

But think, you'd have BotW's super 20K HD REMASTER plus the next 99 years of Zelda games all waiting for you as soon as you woke up!
I really like the European box art, the shot of Link looking at the tree is a much more interesting composition then the NA version.Agree. Leaves me even more perplexed why the European cover has to suck that bad

The directing lines that all point to Hyrule castle in the distance is a pretty simple reason why the Japanese Art is better. It serves to emphasize the journey a lot better when you've go something to point towards in the distance which the Japanese Art expertly presents.
Let's be fair, with only one system going forward from Nintendo that would only be like 4-5 Zelda games. /s

I don't think it sucks at all but it certainly looks much, much worse and kind of misses the point of the game, unlike the japanese one. I really don't know who makes these decisions but they should at least yell at him.
Oh well, at least we have that gorgeous art on the limited box.
same. I just finished playing Majora's Mask 3D. No idea how younger me put up with collecting all those masks lol. Ready for a modern ZeldaI'm having more trouble waiting for this game than anything since KH2 in 2006. I keep playing old Zelda game a to contain the hype but it's so hard. And this game has been done for months!! The agony. I just want to try the demo
32 days
Replaying Skyward Sword to kill time between now and March 3rd. Really still not keen on the motion control, and there are so many minor things that annoy me (barren sky and slow flying speed, Fi, switching items around etc), but I'm enjoying the dungeon and area design, and Ghirahim is a great villain, making me wish Nintendo started proper voice acting in the series here instead.

Amiibo functionality is mostly out of the way though, it's not in your face. Unless you're incredibly agreed by a small amiibo logo, in which case pls calm down.

Being able to disable voice acting is a basic feature? That's news to me

Same. I did a quick replay recently of Zelda 1 and 2, now I'm playing Majora's Mask with my Wife and the LttP Randomizer by myself.
Then you've been waiting longer than that since Wind Waker came out in 2002.

Current events here in the US are intensely depressing, only 32 days until I can move to Hyrule.
So what is the consensus here, do people think we will actually be getting additional runes than the ones shown? I'd be kinda disappointed honestly if we only get 4 runes (the 2 bomb runes are the same) and upgrades of those.

Ah sorry i didn't know that, the comment made it seem like it was some obtrusive icon or something
There was 1 unfilled rune slot at E3, so there's at least 1 more rune. Maybe there'll be "traditional" items that you use with the L button like runes.

I'm pretty sure this will be the best Zelda ever.
That's an incredibly high bar to set though.
OOT, MM, and WW for me are the holy trinity. Those three games came out during my formative years, and they're imprinted upon me to this day.

Indeed it is. I believe LTTP is the best of the series and every impression I have gotten from this game tells me I'll like it more. The only thing I'm worried about is how annoying weapon durability will be.
I'm certain it will be great, but to truly be "the best", it needs to be a well crafted game from start to finish. Even though Wind Waker and Twilight Princess are my favorite Zelda's, OoT and LttP are the only games in the series with no major flaws.
If BotW manages to completely fill the world with meaningful content, avoid padding the game with shallow collectathons and fetch quests, and have a well paced main quest, then it could very well be the best Zelda.

It won't be perfect but i think it'll be the most artistically mature and immersive Zelda to date. I can feel it!
I'm a little concerned that within a week people will have easily figured out how to beat Ganon quickly at the start of the game, basically making most of the game relatively pointless. Aonuma didn't emphasize that he was extremely powerful (just said you will likely die), and Nintendo isn't exactly known for the caliber of their boss fights. I hope Ganon is truly very fucking hard.

The journey is greater than the destination though, it'd be those peoples' loss.
Just getting to Ganon will probably involve running a gauntlet of enemies that can one shot you.
Actually beating Ganon will probably be something that is more theoretically possible than practically possible.
Even then we'll probably only get some kind of gray area ending without a true conclusion.
Only 6 years for me. Skyward Sword is a top tier Zelda for me. I love mechanics and playability.

Maybe, but even the first regular (there are mini ones as well) guardian seems to wreck Link after the plateau. And its pretty fast.

It's doesn't feel right to challenge Ganon without the Master Sword and/or light Arrows.
Still I'm going straight to him just to see how far I can infiltrate

They said you can get to the final boss early, but they didn't even call it "Ganon". They also didn't mention whether you'd be able to beat the final boss early or not.

Just the one more like the slots show iirc.
When I look at any Zelda game, it's hard to find many additional items that would have to use a rune with this system, considering the sperate melee and ranged weapon slots and other moveset expanding items like paraglider and whatever else there might be. Could be a third type of bomb like bombchu, honestly.
I'm still counting on a hookshot-like bow weapon of course.

I disliked the Japanese Crying. Actually can't really judge a language I don't understand.
I just want the honestly see what Ganondorf is gonna look like, if he's in the game.

I truly believe Aonuma is pulling a bait and switch and Wart is the final boss.

We pretty much see something like a rope arrow tied to link right in the trailer. It'll probably be in the game and used to anchor to animals or other places. It makes perfect sense considering jumping off a cliff slows down time to aim.
As for me, I'm just curious if the Opals and Topaz gems confirm Lightning and Water arrows and how those elemental properties work like if I could use lightning to transform Chu Jellies.
Oooh, that was quick. Now we need a Figma of BotW Link and Zelda. I might need that Figma horse now too.
Nah, I think Mike Tyson is the final boss. That's why they had to take him out of Punch Out.

Yeah, they said you'd probably die, but that might just mean escape is your other option rather than defeating him.
We've not seen everything but the way the quest is presented seems to encourage you to try going straight to the castle anyway, but there could be something we're missing like a conversation when you're given the paraglider,
don't think they showed that?
It looks more like Ganon has just become a big cloud at this point in the timeline. And I'm cool with that.
