I think this GIF deserves recognition. Fantastic hitbox.

I believe it's whenever you pull the bow out midair.

Saw the vast majority of Day 1 and what I missed I caught up on early this morning. That being said did anything happen, or was shown on Day 2 that would warrant my tuning in?
Basicly we saw this
Agreed. And I'm super excited.

One thing I don't like that I keep seeing is the look of hunting. I know it's sort of a weird complaint, but when Link shoots a boar and the arrow cartoonishly hits and then the boar disappears in a puff of smoke, it just doesn't feel right. It doesn't match the stalking vibe, and it feels silly when you're hunting it for its body to have the body disappear. I guess I see hunting as a different feature than combat with enemies, while the game is treating hunting as an extension of combat with a different enemy type.
I think if arrows stuck in prey, that would help. Or at least have the body behave like a chopped down tree, where you need to hit it again with something to "carve" it and retrieve the meat or pelt.
It's not very Zelda, but a more visceral experience I think would help. At least based on what I've seen.

Yeah, good stuff.
I've been playing Dying Light a bit recently, a game where you upgrade weapons a couple of times and then watch them break (at least at first, I'm not even a quarter finished yet). It's a system that works once you let go of the mentality of keeping weapons, since they and their upgrades are in plentiful supply. Sometimes these systems do beg the question "why bother" however. Look forward to playing BotW eventually.

They showed the same as yesterday, clips outside of the plateau and 2 outside shrines we already saw
"Shadow of Metal Souls" is a really badass name tbh.
Yeah, it's the nature of Zelda's cartoon violence. They had to tiptoe between it and Zelda tradition. Sometimes tradition won.

I love that once your weapon is about to break, you can just use the weapon as a projectile for a nice crit hit.
You would definitely do well with Link between the Worlds if you liked the top down portable zelda. Many think it's the best Zelda since MM and WW.
Loftwing I assume :3

Quick question cause I wasn't fallowing. Did they ever say if it's WiiU or NX footage? It looks really good, too good for WiiU in my opinion. If it's NX then it looks like I'm gonna have to get it, cause game looks absolutely stunning.

Its all been on Wii U so far. But they have said the two versions are identical. Aside from the assumed framerate improvements the NX version will have.
This game looks soo good lol. Just put TPHD on hold at my Gamestop with the Amiibo.

I can honestly say it looks really impressive for a WiiU game, best game of E3 for me, super excited.

I don't think it looks too good for Wii U. the Wii U's power hasn't really been fully realized by that many games. Also, to answer your question, it's Wii U footage. If the NX version looks even better I'll be ecstatic.

NX version is a no-show on this E3, and both Treehouse demo and booth demo used Wii U version.
or an ancient canon that first needs some restoration?

It looks like Nintendo's Skyrim.
It's a living, breathing world full of character and a stunning level of interactivity, but the thing that gets me is that the gameplay looks like it fits so well within the open world design. This could be special.

Only if we get the guys with tiny shirts operating it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I'm hoping this game has an enemy gauntlet. The battle system looks like a lot of fun, and I would love to go through a hoard of enemies while switching between their weapons on the fly.
I feel like I'm missing something with this GIF. someone else mentioned it too.
What special happened?

l love the way the game looks, but it's quite clearly a Wii U game. lt looks super rough at times, with some really bad textures.

I don't know. I think the hitbox is quite impressive, and the animation is very fluid. It may not have a comedic factor, but I find it worth noting.
The GIF is from this person.
They said same experience, not identical

The Hitboxes in this game are extremely on point. If you get hit, it's definitely going to be your fault. There's a better scene than that one at illustrating though I think.

If this game doesn't have selfies in it I'm going to be supremely disappointed

looks more like an invincibility after hit thing than a hitbox one

Hey everyone. There's so much footage out there it's hard to check it all. Could someone recommend a good one? I watched the Polygon footage for about 30 minutes but it seemed very dull.
I think you need the glider since the entire plateau is surrounded by a sheer cliff. However, only the Treehouse folks had the glider I think. The other demos didn't have it and you couldn't obtain it in time.

I think same experience means that it won't support the Nx's gimmick which will give games a different experience. That what I read into it anyway.
It does, now that you mention it. Hope it's (also?) a fantastic hitbox, though, games like these absolutely need accurate hitboxes imho.
I have no idea if it shows anything new or useful, but we've got 2 6 minutes off-screen videos of the E3 demo:

So many threads and posts.
Has it been confirmed that the NX version will be superior?

Cool will watch at home.
I like how she did this move combination completely by accident too.
I don't think I've seen this footage, was there more stuff after the first day, or did I just miss it in the hours of stream.
this was first day

I have been hating on my Wii U since a couple of months after I bought it, an regretted buying it a lot, but now my purchase seems to be completely vindicated... 
Yeah the AI is much smarter than in previous Zelda games, can't wait to see what's in store for tougher enemies.
Couldn't find the Bokoblin hunting the boar. So many gifs left to make
Oh shit! I saw the .gif before, but it's only now I realize that the second Bokoblin lights its club at the other's club! Goot stuff. ^^
The trail of singed grass as they flank - so fucking goooooood
