Wolf Link and the three new amiibo that were announced will work with it from what we know. Only one whose effects we know is wolf Link, which gives you a wolf link companion

Okay, I've translated most of the Zelda U Hylian I could. Some funny stuff hidden in the game.
The doors to every shrine have DUNGEON written across them repeatedly
The doors that seal Link inside the chamber he awakens in say SHUTOUT at the bottom.
When Link puts the Sheikah Slate on a pedestal to gain a new rune it says NOW LOADING DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR... the words that follow appear to be BASE/CASE ARE but that doesn't make sense.
The area where the sheikah sits at the end of a shrine says GOALPOINT
The Hylian text below each named area on the map just says REGION
At the bottom is SHEAKERSTONE, which is probably engrish for Sheikah Stone.
Dude you rock!

Really impressed. Should help NX get off to a good start, though they will have to keep the content coming to maintain any ki d of momentum. Can't wait to play it.

This game looks insane. Game of the show for me without a doubt.
I played too much Xenoblade X. Now all I keep thinking about is how great it would be to fly around it with a Loftwing.
Demo looked great, though. Love the extra emphasis on exploration and combat. I feel like Zelda gets a little too hung-up on making switch puzzles and stuff sometimes, so I like that they're crafting those more for targeted locations (shrines, dungeons, etc).

Lookin good, I wonder how villages will work. I feel like this game could be as sidequest heavy as Xenoblade
I don't have time to find it now, but the part of the stream where they're in the shrine mini-dungeon where they used the time freezing thing on the rock they talk about it.

We didn't see a proper boss fight today. Closest is the rock monster that wrecked Link in one hit that's in the overworld

i want wiimotion controls though ;_;
For sure, but thank you! I have a sudden weird desire once the whole map is revealed to make a scale replica with layers of plywood simulating the contours and I wonder how feasible it would be (money rather than time being the limiting factor)
Check my first post, I putted that
edit: beate, I should go to sleep, lol
You and me both, my dude. E3 returns in less than 13 hours, we all should rest up for another 5 hour stream of gaming news haha

So Zelda, Horizon or God of War?
You can only buy and play one.

Tough choice but I'd probably go with Zelda, to be honest.
Between Zelda and Horizon for me, with Zelda getting the slight edge.

Ugh, no contest. Zelda. Never cared for GoW. Horizon looks neat, but is basically this game, but without any of the Nintendo Magic.

Of all the games, Zelda has the biggest possibility space and everything looks competent at worst and incredible at best. That's amazing.
Got to be. They picked up tons of different stones and ores over the day. That can't just be stuff to sell. Maybe we won't be crafting ourselves but someone will craft things for with them.
Sold separately, but you need a TP to get more hearts for him.

This is making me depressed. Sad. Feelings of... nostalgia. Disbelief. Denial. Happiness. I don't want to own a Wii U / NX. But I need this game.
If this game doesn't matter, then no games matter. It's like looking at a picasso for the first time. I can't take my eyes of that art style. It's like cleaning them.. like I can see for the first time after all these hordes of dampy brown unreal games.

You can drop a piece of flint with a bundle of sticks then swing your sword at it to make a fire. That's... soooort of like crafting.
You're setting yourself up for disappointment. It may turn out to be a wildly fantastic video game, but at the end of the day it'll still be a video game. It'll have common open world game and zelda game tropes. By all means be optimistic, but be realistic. This is not the second coming of Christ.

Not sure, but they did mine some ore. I think it's safe to say that you can forge weapons and armors.
YESSS!! No more waggle-waggle controls with the Wii remote!

Sadly, no. Seems not. :\
Skyrim is not that big. Witcher 3 isn't huge, but it is big. I admittedly forgot about Just Cause, so will be interesting to see a comparison there.
Take this following image with a spoon of salt, because I'm not sure on the accuracy:
Just Cause 2 was pretty enormous, but considering it was barren as fuck and designed for flying around in jets, it's not a great contender.

Insane level of detail, makes most other games and game worlds look lifeless no matter how pretty they are. Did anyone anticipate a change this big for this IP? I'm just blown away by all of it. No other game does this much. A skill tree or any type of character upgrade system is all I'm missing for it to be the game of forever.

Hmmk but not sure i understand corretly. I need to play TP with wolf amiino so it will have more energy in New Zelda?

No Xeno X world size comparison? I thought that one is quite large too?

This will be the best Zelda ever, tears.
...which alphabet are you using ?
Those letters look nothing like the ones in Skyward,Twilight and Link Between Worlds and those are the ones based on english

Yeah. His default life bar is three hearts but you can make it longer by completing the challenge dungeon in Twilight Princess - your remaining health when you're done the dungeon gets saved to the amiibo and will be your Wolf LInk's new healthbar in BotW.

It may not be the best looking open world game, but the Zelda is strong in it, and there's so many cool ideas and inter-operative gameplay layers in it that I wish so many other games had. This is more or less what I wanted from Hyrule's overworld ever since I saw Shadow of the Colossus. Also, I gotta say the combat looks better than Witcher 3.
I haven't seen enough to really nitpick anything about encounter frequency, layout etc. They spent the day seemingly trying not to get too ahead of themselves and do anything too spoilery.

Probaby not enough room lol.
It was basically the Galactus of open world games until Breath of the Wild.
It's a new alphabet. I'm piecing it together by translating letters I've already figured out and using the gaps to translate new letters. Have most of the alphabet figured out now.
Thank god someone gif'd shivering Link, best animation in the game yet.
I cannot wait to explore this world and find out how many more unexpected ways there are to interact with the environment. This is totally the type of game where I know I'll constantly find myself thinking "I can do THAT?"

Wow. That's amazing! Any way you could post your WiP alphabet so we could take a crack at translating other bits?

I'll answer your question. Yes!
I'm reveling in the hype right now. It may or may not end up being the GOTF, but oh my goodness, oh my DAYUM. This looks like the Zelda game i've always wanted; always dreamed of. The GAME i've always wanted and dreamed of. I know haters gonna hate, and some may have different opinions, but i feel like Nintendo just made a statement today. They are absolutely still relevant
Yeah, it's pretty fucking big... Gamezone says Xenoblade Chronicles X's map is bigger than Skyrim, Fallout 4 and The Witcher 3's maps combined.
*EDIT* By my estimation, The Witcher 3 (136Km^2 + Fallout 4 + Skyrim) = the size of Just Cause 2's Panau. I could be off, but this seems about right.

The minerals I saw picked up (topaz,etc) specifically were said to appear in accessories or be sold in the description. I wouldn't call that a guarantee (it's always possible it's worldbuilding/flavour text), but it's a strong indication.
