That the towers in the pic are huge swords
Maybe not that size, but Zelda series is no stranger of massive bosses. Would be nice to see more that we can actually scale in one way or another.
Don't think anyone is running with the giant swords theory, they're almost without question the same as the tower we saw in the Game Awards demo.
Hmm, what's the basis for that?

Just sword shaped. It might only be me and vareon talking about it, lol, I just noticed it quoted on the last page
Oh, gotcha, thanks for the info. Well, you know I'm always happy to believe any of your theories! Given what Fi ended up being, you never know how the Master Sword will come into play in Zelda.

Creating something that bad would require straying away from "invincible body with weak spots" boss formula, and I can't see Zelda going away from that.

Well it can't be any more boring than the FFXV boss/demo. Scalebound I doubt that though.

There are several of them in the latest art with the blue glow which reminds me of the beacon Aonuma set at the Game Awards demo with Miyamoto.
Seems pretty clear to me that they are towers in the distance.
I agree, but even if they are towers, they could still have a surprising in-lore reasoning for their existence.

Neither Tetra nor Sheik are exactly Zelda, and neither is playable. Tetra doesn't even know she is Zelda, and you know who Sheik is very late in the game - and she doesn't have a kingdom to rule then. Even if the game explains, like in Ocarina of Time, that Zelda lost her kingdom and wants to fight to get it back, you don't put your ruler on the first line in a battle when you have tons of supporters, you put pawns you can lose - like Link.
The Legend of Zelda is about a nobody becoming a hero through adventure and fighting, a grain of sand gripping a master plan, making the princess the hero makes no sense at all. Just the fact nobody knows who Link is and you can inhabit the character plays a crucial part in the series vs. everybody obviously recognizing the ruler of Hyrule. Sorry, but it's a dumb idea that goes against everything in the series. It'd make much more sense to have a customizable Link, including gender.
I guess people got the idea from Hyrule Warriors.
It's silly IMO. I mean, it looked cool in Hyrule Warriors, but it's silly to think it's a sword on the scenery and not a tower.

Could this game be coming out this year? What's Nintendo's track record on releasing games once they've been revealed at past E3's?

Nintendo officially delayed the game to 2017 back in April.

Nintendo already confirmed it was coming next year with the release of the NX so sadly not.

Thanks. It's going to be somewhat a dry spell this fall, as nothing on tap is really exciting me.

So i think i was right. There is something flying in the Skies of Hyrule in the demo. And some people made jokes.
