I thought it looked pretty disappointing.
Open world is bad, and a lot of stuff either looks like gimmicks or more of the same, presented as if it wasn't.
The aesthetic is soulless, you have to admit. No character, no atmosphere. Twilight Princess had the best (non Wind Waker) graphics, despite the edgefilter -- this is just pretending that stylised = interesting.
They could have set it anywhere else but Normal Land, but they didn't. WW had the sea, even SS had a half-hearted sky -- they could have set it in a huge city, or *something*, and they didn't.

I thought it was everything but. It has this cheery, pastel like feeling, like every frame was a picture.
>>47787654
This. It reminds me of Wind Waker but a bit more grown up I guess.
On one hand I feel like huge open areas lose something of the series' essence, but on the other hand, we already have a bunch of excellent "traditional" Zelda games and it does look quite good.
>>47785778

It was hilarious.
>>47787621

>>47786796
>They could have set it anywhere else but Normal Land, but they didn't.
I don't think that's a fair assessment - the map is absolutely fucking huge, and we only saw one part of it.
Given that this game's twist on the setting is, by their own admission, "technology," there's a very strong possibility we'll see plenty of high tech temples and weird robots and other magitech outside of the ruins Link wakes up in. We've only seen the starting area of a game with an absolutely fucking gigantic map so far.
>>47787621
I concede that, but how do we know that's not just Ganondorf's surname? He's double barrelled because he's taken his mothers name and the name of the man she kidnapped and raped.
>>47787687
>shear
Misspelled words aside, what are you talking about
>>47787748
Basically, Link has always been a cute little twink, but this time a bunch of crazy people theorized that he was a girl because he wasn't sporting a beard or whatever. So when they outright said at E3 that Link is indeed a man again, these people who invested their life in their dumb theory EXPLODED, screaming about how terrible and sexist the game is.
>>47786965
My point isn't that the world itself is empty.
>>47787654
Cheery? You're kidding. It's cold, and bland, and the characters don't look like characters.
You know that old WiiU demo from 2013? Which was kind of like a revamped Twilight Princess? *That* would've been good.
>>47787732
Yeah, quantity totally makes up for quality. We've been to places like this before -- loads of times before.
Plus, open world is bad; loads of breadth, no depth.
>>47787775
I honestly think it was the lack of green get-up that got them.

Why would you want to do that?
>>47787795
>We've been to places like this before -- loads of times before
I don't know if that's something you can confidently say. The demo showed Link waking up in fairly archetypical Hylean ruins, but the presence of the tablet device and the aesthetics of the resurrection chamber makes it clear that they'll be crossing the "normal" fantasy setting with futuristic high technology, which is fairly unique.
>>47787871
That's not the geography, though. It's still a flat, standard land (as in, pile of dirt). It's not something we can play with in new ways, like the sea. No matter what's *in* it.
>>47787871
>>47787893
Plus, we had "high tech" in Skyward Sword.
>>47787846
Some of these people got lots of money for ranting, they even got to talk in the UN about meaningless shit.
Nintendo even created the first Link girl (linkle) to please them, yet they still raged because Link girl looks like a girl Link.
Not going to say names to avoid ban.

But that's the thing, we're not in a position to ascertain what is completely *in* it until we see more than what amounts to the tutorial level.
If their alleged twist on the setting is introducing "technology," then for all we know later areas could introduce high tech cities that play with gravity or vertical skycrapers or warp pads, or anything that they didn't want to show their hand on with E3. We have no idea what's outside the plains that Link wakes up in, and given what little they have said about the setting we have good reason to anticipate it will be something unique.
>>47787938
>>47787963
Yeah, it's not like a demo is meant to demonstrate anything.
My point is about the overworld, not the dungeons in it. And we have seen the overworld, more than in Treehouse. Hyrule Fields, again.

What about the whole bow-weilding business, that lean musculature that hides impressive strength, magical ability, ties with nature, and even the penchant for wearing green?
He's a hylian, but that's about as elf as it gets. What exactly is he missing other than the lifespan?
>>47788614
Arrogance?
Here's my best attempt at a 5e Link (standard array).
Name: Link
Race: Hylian (High Elf)
Class: Fighter 1
Background: Folk Hero
Alignment: Neutral Good
Strength: 15 (for using the Master sword, once he gets it)
Dex: 14+2=16 (for using his bow, throwing bombs, most of his items, light armor, etc)
Con: 10 (only 3 hearts)
Int: 13+1=14 (for solving puzzles)
Wis: 12 (for solving puzzles)
Cha: 8 (can't talk, only speaks in grunts)
Race Traits:
Hylian (Elf) Weapon Training
Darkvision (this is the only one that doesn't make too much sense, Link usually uses a torch)
Keen Senses (for spotting bosses on the roof of a chamber)
Fey Ancestry (resistance to Ganon's evil magic)
Trance (saving the game, lol)
Languages:
Common, Hylian (Elvish), and Kokiri (Gnomish)
Skills: Perception (from Keen Senses)
Cantrip: Dancing Lights (Navi)
Class traits:
HP: 10
Equipment:
1) Leather Armor, longbow, and 20 arrows
2) Longsword (1d8) and shield (+2 AC)
3) a light crossbow and 20 boltt (maybe change this to two bombs?)
4) an explorer's pack
Fighting Style: Dueling
Second Wind
Skills:
Acrobatics
Athletics
Background traits:
Skills: Animal Handling, Survival
Honestly, this might make for a pretty good build if it weren't for his low Con. The INT might be good if you wanted to make him an Eldritch Knight.
>>47788614
you're thinking too european on this. dont forget that this is made by japs and long pointy ears means something different to them.
>>47788642
The other Hylians have that in spades.
>>47788553
Infinite magic arrows? I don't recall any game having that. I mean there were the full HP lasers on the swords in the originals I suppose.
>>47788614
Hylians are humans blessed by Hylia with ears that can hear the goddesses, and an implied closer connection to spirits. That's it. They all live in cities and farms and shit just like humans, they have normal figures like humans (link himself is just lithe), they live the lifespan of humans, and have no other special abilities.
Hell, Link only has a connection to nature in OOT, and nowhere else. And that was because he was raised by the REAL elf analogue, the Kokiri, in that game.
>>47788664
But a pointy-eared, bow-weilding, green-wearing, nature-loving magical swordsman is really about as elf as it gets, even in Japan.
>>47788695
>Nature loving
Only in OOT.
>>47788677
>Hylians are humans blessed by Hylia with ears that can hear the goddesses, and an implied closer connection to spirits.
That's really all it takes to be an elf.

Guy spends at least one dungeon each game restoring some piece of nature back to its natural condition.
That, and spending a fair amount of time mowing the lawn, collecting bugs, exploring the forests and mountains, and just generally being the embodiment of Miyamoto's childhood adventures.
>>47788677
Kokiri are more like Forest Gnomes IMO. Definitely still Fey, but not the powerful secret-nature-society that Wood Elves are
>>47788735
They're more like elf aasimars.
>humans descendants of a goddess
>elves
This is seriously trolling
>>47788649
Technically Link is able to talk, we as the audience just don't hear it. He usually limits it to telling people his name, but some games have had dialogue options. In Skyward Sword for example, Link once explained the entire plot up to that point to an NPC, but we only saw him gesturing like he was talking with no sound or text.
That said, low CHA seems fine.
>>47788721
>>47788772
They're folklore elves, not Tolkien elves.
>>47788804
they're not fey, why would they be elves? Because potty ears? So wolves are elves? Orcs are elves?
>>47788806
>alternate origin for extremely elf-like creatures with most of the distinctive traits of elves including the most important: the ears
Hylians are just the not-elves of the setting. They're not human, to say the least.
>>47788832
Did you miss where I said only OOT Link is a nature child because of his Kokiri upbringing?
>>47788862
They're Elfs in the same way Imps and Demons work in the Worm Ouroboros. I.e. they're humans with a funny name and a funny physical feature to go with a funny religious background.
>>47788892
>Worm Ouroboros
eh?
Hylians are elves.
People just say they're not because they're not used to a setting with no humans.
>>47788881
Did you miss the part where it's a funny image and you're really all sorts of obsessed with them not being elves, when that's basically what they are?
And, all the Links are tied with nature. That's sort of their thing, what with spending most of their time traveling the land looking for dungeons so they can defeat the evils that lurk in them to help restore the delicate balance of the world.

Slutty knife-ears lusting after standard humans breed their own race into near extinction?
Seems pretty elven to me.
Also, apparently, Hylians DO have long lives.

C'mon.
>>47788980
It happened because the goddesses flooded all of hyrule except the highest points, killing the majority.
>>47788980
That's the opposite of elven.
>>47788999
>separate from humans which came later
Not true, humans existed beforehand. It's just that the goddess Hylia blessed her human followers with the ears, making them into Hylians.
>>47789025
No, the Hylians existed, and they may have resembled humans before they received the ear business, but the actual human race came later.

>>47789160
But, they're distinctly not human.
In fact, there are three games with actual humans in them (WW, TP, LttP), and the distinction is made between Hylians and humans there. In the other games, human is just a catch-all for any of the human-esque races.
>>47789330
That's like claiming Asians aren't human because they don't look the exact same.
>>47788937
Gerudo aren't humans
>>47788939
So humans exist in WW but not in other games.
>They have no traits of elves but the ears
They have a close connection to nature, long lives, and a natural aptitude with magic. That's as elf as it gets.
Plus, you severely underestimate pointy ears.
Having ears is THE most distinctive trait of elves.
Pointy ears is the only characteristic all elves in all settings share.
>>47789397
>close connection to nature
False.
>>47789379
No, it's more like saying the Gerudo are not human because they only give birth to one male every hundred years.
They're all different races, but much more like the sharp divide of D&D races than the term used for real life human races.
>>47789416
They have fucking temples to each of the elements all over the place, prize balance between them and aren't destructive towards nature.
They don't need to live in trees to have a close connection with nature.

Also the temples are usually upheld by different races. Spirit for Geurudo, Shadow for Sheikah, Water for Zora, Fire for Goron, and Forest for Kokiri. The only elements that Hylians are consistently shown to care about are Time and Light.
>>47789473
I'm not him but, you know, hylians descending from humans doesn't mean they're not elves.
>>47789521

>>47789473
>>47789572
They're humans in the same way that the elves from D&D or tolkien are human. Different race.
>>47789572
They're both.
Just like half the people in the Wakfu/Dofus setting are both humans and elves.
>>47789615

>>47785778
>Name: Zelda
>>47789622
They might in games that don't have round-eared humans.
And look, in the games WITH round-eared humans, they don't call Hylians or Gerudo human. Weird how that works, huh.
>>47789656
Spirit Tracks has round-eared humans.
>>47789667
That might be a translation issue? WW and particularly TP makes efforts to keep them separate.
>>47789773
No it doesn't.
In Twilight Princess Midna calls Link explicitly a human several times, as do all the Gorons, the Yetis, and probably some NPCs I forgot.
Link uses far, far too many bombs to be considered a proper elf. Like, way too many bombs. Some Links will even put bombs on arrows. Some Links will even go bowling with those things. Fucker uses bombs as a puzzle-solving tool and has since the first game.
Link, at the very least, is definitely more "human" than "typical" elf.
Why is no one using theLegend of Zelda RPGto stat him?
Elves dont exist so calling hylians elves or not elves is somewhat arbitrary.
I call them elves because they have pointy ears, just like id call short stocky humans dwarves.
>>47789944
Zelda does have actual dwarves, funny enough. Though they only show up twice.

Used this system to run a 6 month long campaign. Shit was tight. Players were a Gerudo Paladin of Din (went Oath of Devotion or something?), Human Hylian Fighter (Champion) who was "most definitely not a goat herder", a Kokiri Rogue (Arcane Trickster) who was bluffing and saying she was a Hylian child with some magical talents, and a Human Hylian Bard (went skill monkey if memory serves).
Long story short, Ganon came back, started shit and while Link was busying acquiring the Triforce of Courage, this spec-ops team was recovering artifacts to free Princess Zelda and helped seal Ganon away after finding out they were secret Sages. Shit went down though when the Gerudo tried to usurp the throne and got absorbed into Ganons spirit

You're trying to say a long-lived, pointy-eared, bow-wielding magical swordsman who spends most his time running around forests isn't an elf.
What IS an elf then?
>>47790403
Any feedback would appreciated. We've been playing in the setting for about a year now.
Twilight Warlock has been played fairly extensively, as well Oath of the Fierce for Paladin, and Circle of Elements. The others, not as much.
>>47790442
You're projecting Link's individual behavior on his entire race.
>>47790470
I'm statting Link as appropriate.
He's clearly based on an elf, why not stat him as an elf? Elf stats apply to Elf adventurers, and Link is an Elf adventurer.
>>47790597
>A human archer is an elf.

Wisdom helps you do magic.
And I think courage also makes you tougher if not actually stronger.

It's a joke nigga. Calm yo tits. Originally I was gonna imply he's a dorf, but joke doesn't work as well that way.

He's got all the parts and pieces of an elf. What more do you want?

Why would Saria be in a the new Zelda, anon?I think you meant Hyrule Warriors with that yeah?
>>47790852
You can't be an Elf without humans to look down on.
Hang on, Ganondorf doesn't have pointy ears.
In that case the official ruling is that Link is an Elf. The matter is closed. Good work everyone.
>>47790852
He's a member of a race. You can't call an entire race something based on one person.
>>47790865
I actually have a sneaking suspicion that Zelda: BotW is the game that reunifies the timeline. It has traits from all of the timelines (collapsing kingdom and the Old Man; ability to bring Wolf Link in; Koroks; Skyward Sword graphics; etc.)
>>47790895
There are round-eared humans for Hylians to look down upon.
And Ganondorf is Gerudo, not Hylian.
>>47790928
I thought the wolf link thing wasn't canon, just a fun little feature.
>>47790785
We do, but they're they all need heavy reworking. Honestly, for those who are not-link, the setting is pretty low magic. Other than trying to get bombs down right, most of our other stuff are relics (ie, link's stuff).
>>47790928
That would suck ass, because the failed timeline is a fucking ruin and the child timeline isn't much better. Meanwhile the adult timeline that leads up to WW has a happy ending where they found a new Hyrule and everything is great. Fusing all of these timelines together forces all the ruin and suffering of the other two timelines into WW's, and destroys their happy ending.
>>47790949
OK but the matter is closed. There's been a ruling, so it's too late to present new evidence.
>>47790966
>>47790928
My theory is that this is in the WW timeline, after the great sea has receded.
Not a whole lot to base that on, but the Koroks have been WW only thus far, and it would explain why everything in hyrule is in such ruin and the master sword in the logo is so fucking rusty.
New Hyrule might still be okay, just off fucking somewhere else where ever they founded it.
>>47790966
Or it could be the beginning of a golden age, never know.
>>47790956
Maybe, but the game also has that semi-brooding and an encorcelled Hyrule Castle.
>>47791059
>A new golden age brought about the murder of everyone
No point.
>>47791040
So how did the Master Sword get out of Ganondorfs face, in this timeline?
Did he just degrade into a small stone pedestal after turning to stone, or return with the sword in his nose and have to yank it out?
>>47791040
There is an image of Makar in ALBW and Rito imagery in the TP remaster
>>47791089
Someone probably pulled it out for him.
>>47791089
I donno, ask him >>47787333
>>47787333
>Random brown guy
>Could be a human
>Nope has to be Ganondorf
>>47791089
Ganondorf has yet to be confirmed. It's "Calamity Ganon"
>>47791099
But only Link can pull the Master Sword.
Maybe this Master Sword is slutty and lets any old Elf yank it off, and that's not rust we see, it's herpies.
>>47791129
>But only Link can pull the Master Sword
I've never read that or seen that, anywhere.
>>47791116
It is actually canon that Ganondorf is the only brown guy. Gerudo only birthed one male in a century, and now they're gone.
>>47791158
Gerudo are the only brown skinned people, anon. Plenty of the humans have darker skin tones.
>>47790962
Sounds legit. Then again, we've seen crazy magics before so you could look into that (like the Death Curse, various resurrections and Sheikah magic)

Hey, I'm in the "Hylians are just blessed by Hylia Humans" camp. People are basing way too much on the ears. The freaking Zora are more Elven than the Hylians
>>47791178
He has the exact same skin colour as Ganondorf, it's just disguised by the orange of the firelight. He has all the distinguishing features of Ganondorf. He's a big man with a large nose, thick eyebrows and and dark green skin. The only thing missing is the red hair, and that's just because he's gotten old.
The Spiderbots put everyone in Hyrule into calming pool stasis like Link at the start of the Demo. Ganondorf waiting for Link to lead him to Zelda so he can get the Tri-Force.
>>47791401
What makes them not elves aside from the name?
They're essentially notelves, not not elves.
>>47791401
We've already had a ruling on this. >>47790895

Their living environment
Their life span
Basically everything, actually.

>>47791646
They live in medieval European style settlements, their culture is medieval European inspired, and nothng indicates they have lifespans different from the round eared humans

Nah, that's a white beard under an orange lighting effect.

Similar face to Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule is the king in The Minish Cap
>>47791646
Second guy you quoted here. I think you have this backwards. I posted that because they aren't elves, and you're autistic. They share no traits with elves other than ears.
An argument could MAYBE be made for Half Elf.

Calm down fuccboi
That's not an obese elf, just a fat elf.
She's probably wealthy and never went hungry, what's the big deal?
>>47790133
She has a dick, doesn't she?
>>47791879
Yeah. Why, don't you?
>>47791879
I place the odds as 9 to 1 in favor of her having a dick.
>>47791800
Different anon adding to this.
No culture that advanced beyond the stone age has ever specifically considered obese women attractive. Gluttony was always considered a vice. It can sometimes be correlated with wealth, but it was never a desirable trait in and of itself.
Those Renaissance paintings of fat women (who were not as fat as most of the tumblrinas using them as evidence) were portraits commissioned by rich lazy housewives, and for each one of those there were twenty paintings of thin women.
>>47791994
>No culture that advanced beyond the stone age has ever specifically considered obese women attractive
Obese people pretty much didn't exist back then
>Gluttony was always considered a vice
No, that's wrong.
>>47792110
Name one culture where the MAJORITY opinion was "that woman's ability to gorge herself on sweets makes me so horny, this is the ideal of beauty, I want to marry her".
>>47792232
You said gluttony was ALWAYS actively considered bad.
That's not true. Very few people ever had the luxury to worry about being gluttonous much less getting fat. Having an appetite is a sign of healthiness, so it was more often considered positive than negative.
>>47791670
They actually do have long lifespans, with some living several centuries.
They really are just elves under a different name.
>>47792322
Who? Point to someone who lived that long.
>>47792322
>with some living several centuries.
If you're referring to Impa in Skyward Sword, she's pretty much the only example of any character living that long in the series--and in her case she's both a Sheikah and implied to be that old because muh spirituality. There's nothing to indicate Hylians live longer lives than the average human.
>>47792372
This. Maybe Rauru, but he was in a different plane pf existence...
>>47791269
It still blows me away that I'm on that developer list despite the criminally negligible amount of work I ever contributed.
>>47792450
Hey, I developed the Goblis in D:tD40K and that was barely any work but I got accredited in it.
>>47785568
Hylians are statistically comparable to half-elves in that they are humans and share traits typically associated with conventional fantasy elves. They're not descended from elves or anything, but they've clearly got a touch of something like it added to their bloodline or fate or whatever.
Sort of like tieflings/aasimar/genasi types that are born fullblooded humans and are tweaked somehow.

>Being attractive is charisma
Influencing people to do things they otherwise wouldn't is charisma. Intimidating others is charisma. Link does not influence others intentionally with his confidence and conviction. He is not personable and does not have a greater understanding of the minutia of social interactions. People just like him because he's not an asshole.
Being not-an-asshole is not a talent or ability.

That's just, like, your opinion, man. You don't have to like it, but some people loved how the first game let you explore and find things that were completely beyond you.
>a lot of stuff either looks like gimmicks or more of the same, presented as if it wasn't.
It looks pretty tight to me. The general themes seem to be that you're exploring a living, breathing world and that you're living off the land. Climbing contributes to the former, foraging/hunting/cooking and scavenging gear contributes to the latter. Seems pretty tightly and organically designed to me.
>The aesthetic is soulless, you have to admit.
I think it looks gorgeous, personally. The landscape looks beautiful. But that's just my opinion versus yours, I guess.
>They could have set it anywhere else but Normal Land, but they didn't.
What we saw in the trailer was just a tiny snippet of the map, actually. Cities and towns were cut out so they could focus on the wilderness and it's highly likely that we'll get to sail to islands.
>>47792892
Link is like fucking autistic or some shit.
Everyone's opinion of him is initially total conjecture later coloured by his actions.
Okay, so considering all the broken tech laying about, Breath of the Wild is set in post-magitech apocolypse hyrule, right?
STR 12 - 16 (depends on the game)
DEX 18 (he's always been pretty good with a bow plus all those backfips and shit)
CON 12+ (he's always started out with low health, but he's good at rolling endlessly and he gets better as you progress)
INT 12 - 14 (he's good at puzzles, but that's about it)
WIS 10 - 14
CHA 8 - 10 (kind of a doormat)
>>47788614
The only things Hylians share with elves are the pointy ears, Link and Zelda are the only ones who fall wihtin the typical depiction of elves being lithe, magical and skilled in archery, the rest are just humans with a different name
Zoras are more comparable to elves actually, they are basically aquatic elves, I'd say Kokiris could also fill the quota but they are more like actual eternal child shapeshifting fey than elves
