>>Why is Old Man such an asshole?
You took his apple and threatened him with swords and bombs
>>341560447
An asshole? Why? I didnt read the oldman lines.
I don't give a shit about Zelda lore.
>>341560447
The new OoT fellas.
>>341560571
he sends you in to ancient shrines to collect priceless orbs and trades you a piece of cloth on sticks for them
>>341560687
He's totally ganondorf. He's so totally ganondorf.
>>341559901
Nah. She probably just felt as though the heroes past SS Link, didn't really need her vocal help.
If The Master Sword came across a Link who was hopeless and as dumb as a rock, she'd probably start yakking again.
>>341560687
>the Old Man actually follows you during your adventure as key events happen
Calling it: He's def. a massively important character for the game plot/lore-wise, no matter who he turns out to be.

That's epic, bro dude!

What did ganon mean by that?
>>341560687
"I suspected as much"
What are you hiding, old man?
>>341560902
We Giygas now
>>341560914
He's probably a link clone that didn't go so well and lacked the courage to go through with the tests and just grew old.
>>341560706
This has me fucking hyped. 18 years ago OoT launched...and now we will get blessed with the second coming of gaming Jesus in 2017...
>>341560870
>>341560902
that smoke beast around the castle is clearly ganon. maybe that's the demise rencarnation and the old man is just plain ol' gerudo ganondorf
>>341560739
He also breaks his word and asks you to get more shit after the first time he sends you to get stuff, apparently.
TOTALLY NOT GANONDORF
Lets get down to brass tacks;
Is old man ganondorf, or the king?
Place your bets.
>>341561264
You forgot the poll
>>341560848
how did nintendo let someone have this much plot.
i thought it was just a demo
>>341561264neither, it's literally just the old dude from Zelda 1
>>341561264
Look at his eyebrows. It's Ganondorf.
>>341560848
>Hyrule Castle Town will possibly be part of a spoopy "dungeon" full of redeads.
YES
>>341561258
Or you are feeding the ganondorf body.
>>341561264
king
the man is regal as fuck
no amount of raggedy attire can hide that
literal regal santa
>>341560841
God if she talks in this game, I'm throwing it in the fucking trash.
>>341561264
The King. The reason you get SPIRIT ORBS is so thT you become the NotHero destined to save the land from fucking Calamity Ganon (what the fuck kinda name is that lmao).
But seriously, CG looks badass. And dangerous.
>>341560687
HOLY SHIT! IT'S THE KING OF HYRULE!
>>341561264
king trained by the sheikah ala oot zelda
>>341561264
Ganondorf. Gerudo nose, Gerudo skin, is after sealed-away spirit orbs that the King would easily be able to get (Shiekah serve the royal fucking line). It would also be another of the breaks from tradition they're after.
Does anyone hope that the old man drops hints to old players that he's Ganon? "I see you picked up a trident. I used to use one of them long ago."
>>341560706
>The new OoT
>Theory about this Link being resurrected OoT of the failure timeline
Nigga if it turns out this is the hero of time it would mean he is the key point for a GOTY Zelda.
>>341561427
If The Master Sword does talk, it probably won't be more than a few lines this time. She could be the one telling him to open his eyes, calling out to him to find her.
>>341561264
Going with the king. Ganon/dorf is literally calamity ganon cloud thing.
>>341561264
I want it to the G-Man. I want the cloud to be Demise. Ganon craves power so he's using Link to be free of the curse and finally have power over his own life.
>>341561610
He's way too cute, no way is that OoT Link.
>>341561578
you can actually see ganon in the distance

>Ganon
>Not just Ganondorf
You had one job.
>>341561223
>>341561264
>>341561572
If that old man is Ganondorf but not Ganon, then maybe the triforce of power finally can serve some real purpose in the story. Maybe this time Link becomes the hero by assembling the full triforce.
For how great this game looks, and despite how hated the concept is, I really fucking miss having a companion in the game.
Sure, if done wrong it could get annoying like Fiwhich I didn't find annoying at all, I loved Fior done too well and take over the show like Midnawho was also amazing, I want more midna as a.
But I will miss having a companion, and no amiibo shit doesn't count.
Who was more annoying? The Owl, King Boat, Navi, or Fi?
>>341560687
>an ancient evil has awoken
>>341561732
So you're saying Ganondorf haslost control of his life?
Aren't there going to be Koroks in this game? Any chance this might be the New Hyrule we see in Spirit Tracks?
>>341561264
How's it feel knowing you are roughly 9 months away from playing the game of the decade?
>>341562080
And lost the triforce of power perhaps.
Does anyone have the webm of someone zooming in on that flying air ship? I didn't save it.

FOR WHAT PURPOSE, NINTENDO
WHY THE FUCK IS DEATHMOUNTAIN SO FUCKING CLOSE TO THE STARTING AREA
ARE THE NEW AREAS REALLY GOING TO BE THAT DIFFERENT AND INTERESTING?
Just because he's moving around as a man outside doesn't quite mean that Ganondorf isn't trying to further Calamity Ganon goals or that he's trying to fight off Demise. One of Ganon/dorf's best tricks over the years has been projecting his spirit and/or possessing people from beyond the various seals that contain him. His full power can be sealed behind Hyrule's walls but still project an avatar beyond. It's a bullshit cheat but genuinely a major part of why he's able to come back, more often than not.
>>341561740
OoT Link also had adorable shivering animation in OoT, did he not?
I can't find any picture or gif of it, but it was predominantly in the Ice Cavern.
>>341562552
This game is in the same spot as Twilight princess was. It's coming out simultaneously on both consoles and serving as a launch title for the new console.
>>341562552

>>341562591
So youre saying that this game is a prequel to TWW, and that the Old Man is telling Link of botw to run into calamity nigger and get killed?
Sounds fucking great.
>>341562660
I hope it also turns out the be better on the older console like TP was.
>>341561749
But what if it's ganondorf that had his body separated from Ganon?
>>341560687
This is most likely unrelated and I'm not saying it's the same person, but these two niggas have the same two triangles pointing down.
>>341560549

besides old man seems very knowledable on the sheikah
>>341562528
Thanks
>>341562786
Why was TP better on GC? Anything other than left handed link?
>>341562786
That was due to gimmick controllers. I'm sure, if nothing else, that the NX will at least keep the Framerate more stable, simply due to more power.
>>341562573
Its not that close, assuming that the ledge he put the marker on in pic related is as far away as death mountain, and you can't even see the marker from where he is, Death Mountain is super far away.

>>341562170
I think he's Rauru too. Or at least his current replacement if he forfeited his position.
Especially after seeing him use the glider too to get around. Seems like a reference to Rauru's owl form.
>>341562982
Anyone feeling like placing the visible landmarks from the demo on the map? We should be able to place Death Mountain, the desert and Hyrule Castle at least.
>>341560447

Just go to /vg/ already.
>>341562982
Holy fuck, ok nevermind. It looked a lot closer
>the director of BotW is the same as SS
it's gonna be okay, right?
I remember an interview not long ago where they said the game would have a very rewarding connection to Twilight Princess, and that players who replay TP will find connections to the new game that will please them.
Were they just shilling the Amiibo/HD remake, or is there actually a significant connection to TP?
Is this game set after, perhaps?Midna, when?
>>341562716
the true ruse cruise is that this is actually chapter 3
>>341563110
He also directed Oracle of Ages and Seasons and Minish Cap.
>>341563114

Soon brother. At the very fucking least some lore implications, or mentions in item descriptions.

New Link is a fabricated tool used to safely retrieve relics that have been sealed away against evil. He's like Ganondorf's remotely controlled arms.

This is going to be the best game ever made
>>341563167
>The AI actually sets their own clubs on fire
>>341563006
that's pretty underwhelming. I hope the OST is as good as OOT. I know that's a tall order though. no other Zelda has really struck a chord with me like that one did. I found out recently koji kondo didn't even do the ost for the series since.
>>341563167
In every video a new feature appears. This game is...

>>341562330
Had Grisaia on my backlog for a long time, I guess it's time to watch it.

...truly The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
>>341563205
oh, yeah.
never played them but I hear they're good. wonder why SS was such a step backwards for the series. were motion controls that big of a hurdle?
>>341563114
most likely shilling. i still don't buy there'll be no companion

Nigga go play them. Some of the best games in the series in my opinion.
>>341563602
He pretty much just came up with the idea of skyloft and the forest, and just said go nuts to everything else
>>341562982
Actually, death mountain is even farther back than that marker if this picture is correct
Looking at it now I realize that just the volcano itself is about the same size as the plateau
>>341563030
Master Sword's placement makes it illogical to be in the WW timeline.
The Temple of Time's placement makes it illogical to be in TP's timeline, too.
I'd really like a new WW timeline game, but I do not think BotW is one.
>>341563817
that's fucking huge
>>341562045
All four show up in this game.
>Link is in the middle of Lake Hylia on King Boat, with Owl perched on the sail, Navi floating around him, and Master Sword in the sheath.

Fi: "Link! I'm all dirty! Clean me! You can't fight Ganon with a dirty sword! Now listen carefully, I can only be cleaned with the mystic soap of Hylia, made from the breast milk of the ancient goddess of ~nagnagnag~

>>341560447
it's set after LttP, the sword got put back in the forest after beating Ganon, and hasn't been touched for so long it's started to rust.
Anyone have that webm of her climbing the rock monster?
In the polygon video they show the inside of the temple of time and the goddess statue is seen glowing. When you get close enough the glowing stops, and a pray option comes up. I think the statue is hiding something
>>341560792
he's too tiny
Ganondorf is a basketball nigga
>>341560549
don't remember this part. when did link turn into the terminator?
is it actually confirmed it's called death mountain or are people just calling it that?
>>341564028
It's a solid game if you don't have a problem with the stylus controls. It also has one of the best Zeldas in the series and there's a lot of interaction between her and Link, assuming you care about story and characters at all.
>>341563030
The only problem with this theory is that the temple of time is there. Also, they're talking about ganon and not malladus, ganon wouldn't be at the new hyrule, he never was.
I think a more likely scenario, if we're trying to put this in the windwaker timeline, is that this is the hyrule that was submerged. That would explain all the mountains everywhere - they'd be all the islands that were in WindWaker.
You could argue that spirit track's hyrule still exists, across a different ocean, while all of Breath of the Wild is taking place.
This could also explain the damage to the temple of time, it's been submerged for thousands (millions?) of years, this could explain the sword being rusted, and it could even potentially explain link's origins, as if you recall, there's already a bunch of iconography of the hero of time in the submerged hyrule in windwaker.
It wouldn't be unfeasible for them to have sealed link away pre-flood and for this to have survived until now.

What if it's the original Link?
>>341560841
I remember her saying at the end of SS that she was programmed to shut down after her mission was accomplished, which was defeating Demise, and there was nothing she could do to stop it even though Demise's curse meant the sword of evil's bane would be needed in future
>>341564340
It;s the very first scene of the game.

No one sees that the Master Sword is is impaled into stoned Ganondorf's head.
First legit continuation of a Zelda game with little ambiguity.
>>341560902
he was already halfway there in Twilight Princess
>>341563602
SS wasn't that bad, one can noticed they wanted it to be different in some regards and just couldn't figure it out, but this time it seems they are taking risks in changing the formula more.

Here I'll give you a better one. Shitty rushed job in OP.
>>341564458
Well according to nintendo the Plateau is less than 1% of the map, which is 360km2 total. This means they are saying its twice as big as the witcher 3 map. From the demo, that map is not even as big as skyrims, so the full map would have to be 4-6 times larger than the one we saw. Where were you when nintendo couldnt count?

oh god i thougt i was the only one seeing this
>>341563831
This is what I thought when I saw the sword in the pedestal. There's got to be some crazy time shenanigans going on for it to be there and have there be WW shit like Koroks.
Maybe that ancient tablet thingy from TPHD is really saying the timelines were able to contact each other? Maybe Koroks from the WW timeline traveled to the "failure" timeline, where Ganon has been roided up on dark energy a billion times until now he's a giant cloud of bullshit.
>>341560906
>AN ANCIENT GOOD HAS AWAKENED

Daphnes talking about the Temple of Time and at the same time himself.
>>341564474
I think that just means she has to go into hibernation every time the incarnation of evil is defeated, meaning that she just can't go with Link where ever he wants. The Hero has to put her back to rest after every adventure.
Fi probably doesn't talk anymore because she doesn't want to grow attached to the hero, as she knows that she'll just have to say goodbye to him after every adventure.
That actually makes me kind of sad, now that I think about it.

>>341565895

>>341566006
That's not Wind Waker
Which I recognize it's ironic I posted that picture before.
SS had sword progression, great dungeons, story backtracking gave you completely new ways to play the area, the silent realms were great, the majority of the bosses were great, the story was great, as well as the main characters and it was direct to the point, which is what many people were complaining about TP. Yes, the game is linear, but that isn't a flaw, it was just different.
Not to mention the motion controls, while not perfect, where a lot of fun. I'm gonna miss them.
>>341564223
Decided to do a bit of math to figure out how much average game time one should expect out of BotW in terms of hours, if the plateau here is the size of one Ocarina of Time's entire map size.
The average time it takes approx. to get from the Deku Tree spot to the Spirit Temple's entrance (aka one end of the map to the other) is about 10 minutes and 30 seconds, with loading times not counted towards total time. So, A single "OoT Unit" is about worth 10 and a half minutes of traversing without any interruptions or so forth from point A to B.
Now then, seeing the map size we at least have to work with (could even be larger still), it's approx. 10 Plateaus thick, and at least 8 of them in "height". So with such math, if you were to start at one corner of the map and keep walking endlessly to the other corner at the opposite side, it'd take you approx. an average of over 2 hours and 8 minutes to do it. Not to mention all the shit to do, things to explore and discover, things to murder, shit to climb and so forth as well to deal with.
Basically, I'm gonna guesstimate that all in all, your first playthrough anons will be about on average 100-200 hours total by the time you hit the ending, for those who didn't decide to try to murder the final boss right away.
>>341566252

why would he exchange them to the old man?
The Master Sword is going to have durability and it can break.
Better not use it too much or you won't be able to beat Ganon.
>people are still upset link isn't a girl
I'm going to predict BOTW's big twist right now:
>Game is in a post WW bad end timeline in which Ganondorf succeeds in raising Hyrule (this part's just a guess, the real relevant twist is as follows:)
>somehow Ganondorf has been split into two beings: Ganon, the piglike entity we see in the trailer, and Ganondorf, the Gerudo, more "human" aspect
>Ganondorf is actually the old man
>he becomes Link's ally and semi-mentor, based on confirmation that he plays an important role in aiding Link in the game
>he will either end up using Link for his own gain to get his power back OR genuinely wants to help restore Hyrule and will become an antihero if not outright good

Screencap this.
>>341566332
The plateau is not nearly as big as Ocarina of Times map size. Are you fucking mentally ill?
>>341566604
I'll break it asap just to finally kill Fi.
>>341565895
Own flavor of Zelda. Would that flavor happen to be Backtrackioca?
>>341566604
>you will be able to throw the Master Sword into the ocean
He's one of these three
>>341566332
>Basically, I'm gonna guesstimate that all in all, your first playthrough anons will be about on average 100-200 hours total by the time you hit the ending,
I love Zelda with all my dick and butt, but that's too much.
My average limit is 60-80 hours. I got sick of MGSV at that point.
And I'm one of those faggots who likes to complete the game the more I can
Guys...
What if these "spirit orbs" that the Sheikah monks give you are actuallyfragments of the hero's spirit?I mean, Link DOES absorb them into his chest...That would further imply that this Link really is artificial and that his "humanity" as a hero and a "person" is earned and rewarded over time. It's being transferred to him, in a sense. If he completes these hero trials, he will essentially become "human" enough to defeat Calamity Ganon with relative ease.This makes it all the more suspicious with the old man collecting the husks of these things in exchange for sweet skills.
>>341565895
SS was a big let down
I had two major gripes of it
1) lack of populated places you save. I like the formula where most of the dungeons you beat are directly tied to whatever is plaguing the locals
2) all that repetition. every major region you had to o back to and unlock a second dungeon in the same area, which mostly had the same aesthetic as the other dungeon in that area. you fight fatworm demise what, four time? the only difference is he's slightly faster, and it's not a good boss fight to begin with. You have to collect those damn goddess tears like five times too, and with way stricter rules than when you did in in TP. rules that made you start from scratch if you fuck up once.
they could have avoided those issues without compromising SS's 'flavor'
>>341566604
Just by the looks of it, it's going to be WW/Skyward Sword all over again and you have to do a bunch of shit to restore it to its original strength.
>>341566690
The backtrack was good, bruh. Except that one with the blue dragon to get the water.
Pretty fresh, pretty tasty.
what other game has an internal body temperature gauge? the fuck? such a weird thing to have.
>>341566158
There's even a Spectacle Island in WW. When I was a kid at some point I got really confused by a reference to Spectacle Rock in either ALttP or LA. It might've been ingame or it might've been something in a guide or Nintendo Power but I couldn't for the life of me figure out what the fuck they were talking about, and it took me a while to see that there was literally a rock shaped like a pair of glasses they were talking about.
mfw the old man is a nobody and doesn't talk to you for the rest of the game.
>>341566707
It's obviously Ganondorf. The nose and skin color are what cinch it.
The "THE KING OF HYRULE IS ACTUALLY YOUR PARTNER IN DISGUISE" twist was already done with WW. Having it actually be your enemy or your former enemy turned good would be something new.
>>341566851
>I like the formula where most of the dungeons you beat are directly tied to whatever is plaguing the locals
This was the craziest shit to me when I was a kid playing OoT
>>341566707
The old man is Zelda.
>>341566872
this and the sound wave thing are the only two things that hold up in the "link is a robot" theory-thing.
>>341566707
He might just be a reference to the "it's dangerous to go alone" old man from LoZ.
>>341566695
Oh my god, yeah, you can throw swords.
You can literally throw the Master Sword into the goddamn ocean and just leave it there.
I really liked Fi but that is the funniest shit to come out of this game so far.
>>341567023
>The nose and skin color are what cinch it.
That could be misdirection. A red herring.
>>341566858
>The backtrack was good, bruh.
No, it was not. Play Metroid Prime for legit entertaining back tracking.
>>341567023
>The "THE KING OF HYRULE IS ACTUALLY YOUR PARTNER IN DISGUISE" twist was already done with WW.
That didn't stop them from doing it again with Tetra/Zelda in TWW.
>>341566872
some of the armored core games
>>341566828
Makes sense.
I hope we get to fight the hero's real spirit or something of the such in a dark link-esque boss fight
>>341566604
>>341566695
~you remove the Master Sword and throw it on the ground. you begin to walk off. you get about 20 yards and hear~
Fi: NIGGA ARE YOU CRAZY?!?!?!?!
>>341566707
Pale-black skin, huge hookbill nose like OoT's. He fits the bill.
Get Rauru the fuck out of there, he's white as shit, would be an owl if he wanted to be a mysterious guide again, and has no matching characteristics.
>>341567078
>He might just be a reference to the "it's dangerous to go alone" old man from LoZ.
He's obviously a call back to the original Old Man, but he can also be Ganon/King Hyrule/Rauru/The Owl
>>341567067
>"Make Link a girl!"
>"What if instead we make Zelda a man?"
nice
>>341566949
>a rock shaped like a pair of glasses
wait THAT is why it's called spectacle rock?
I always just assumed it was because it had a nice view
>>341567234
They already did that one though. Remember they're trying to go somewhere new?
>>341566853
At least this time it makes sense since it's been 100 years in god knows where without magic to protect it.
Like King Arthur but with a dungeon or two after you pull out Excalibur.
>>341566851
>1) lack of populated places you save. I like the formula where most of the dungeons you beat are directly tied to whatever is plaguing the locals
I get it but I dunno man, I liked it because it felt clearly apocalyptic. You still found some primitive life like those bulbasaur penguins and those proto-zoras, but also you had to use the timestones to see the little robots working.
The point this time was, after all, activating Hylia's stuff and passing her tests so you could become a person capable of balancing the triforce. Storywise it's effective and cool.
As for Demise in his pajama mode, yeah I admit it was tedious, but it didn't bother me that much until I had to fight him multiple times for the Hylian Shield in the boss rush. Otherwise I didn't care and sealing him wa satisfactory, especially considering you were timed and that pumped me out.
For that matter the goddess tears was just a cool excuse to feel stripped and weak against the guardians, which was also tense. In TP it was boring because there was no tension, but this time you have a sense of urgency.
>you start from scratch if you fuck up once.
And then people complain Zelda games are too easy now...
>>341566858
>no day/night system
>sky was small as fuck
>couldn't fly your bird over hyrule while looking down at all the people/animals, etc. while the breeze blows gently against your skin and you see the moon, which gets occasionally eclipsed by the clouds
>no sky battles
>no sky dungeons
>dreamworks tier boss designs
>stupid contrived cockteasing romance bullshit
no, it was awful.
>>341567149
>Play Metroid Prime for legit entertaining back tracking.
You can't be serious. Prime was a 10/10 game until the backtracking, making it a 7/10
>>341563669
No evil can touch the Master Sword, anon
>>341566707
It could be Sahasrahla
>>341567443
SS was still piss easy. Even doing my first playthrough on hard mode I was only ever in danger of dying once.
>>341567217
tip for you, newfriend: you can greentext instead of doing deviantart tier *teleports behind you* actions
>>341567479
>no day/night system
who cares, it doesn't change anything in previous games
>sky was small as fuck
better than the huge nothingness from WW. Easy to travel to places of interest
>couldn't fly your bird over hyrule while looking down at all the people/animals, etc. while the breeze blows gently against your skin and you see the moon, which gets occasionally eclipsed by the clouds
You are one hell of a poet, anon.
>no sky battles
The closest we got was chasing the windfish as far as I remember. Shame it didn't happen but it doesn't bother me
>no sky dungeons
shame but didn't mind
>dreamworks tier boss designs
only one, and it was PIXAR tier
>stupid contrived cockteasing romance bullshit
it was great
>>341567443
doing the same actions over and over until you get it just right isn't tense, it's tedious. it's the same mistake most modern horror games make.
>>341567630
then why do you even complain about starting over?
>>341567748
Greentext was a mistake
>>341565203
Just another Rick and his Morty
>/v/ was doubting Aonuma before the reveal
>>341560447
Calling it now, this is the first game in the new "Ingo is victorious" timeline. Created when the player quits the game before Epona in OoT.
>>341567772
>Easy to travel to places of interest
There were no places of interest to fucking travel to. The only place to go was that retarded pumpkin girl's farm that you only had to visit like three times.
>>341567850
then git gud bro
look at dark souls fags, they don't cry
SS isn't even hard
>>341566252
Stop being a retard. It's never a good idea to sell systems. Just keep them and get your drug money through other means.
>>341567932
I MADE A WISH ON THAT STAR
THAT WISH WAS FOR LEGEND OF ZELDA: SKYRIM TO BE THE BEST GAME SINCE 2008
>>341567984
>There were no places of interest to fucking travel to.
by that I mean the main areas, bruh
>>341567987
>Dark souls
>Hard
Pick one
Huh.
>>341566680
OoT is pretty small dude.
>>341567534
>adventure meme
fuck out of here
>>341567987
>look at dark souls fags, they don't cry
You fucking kidding me? There was some autistic manchild that went down to the catacombs straight away in the first dark souls about two weeks into the game's release and cried and cried that he couldn't get back to the surface after reaching a door only to find it locked.
>>341566680
OoT is tiny dude.
>>341566680
You should look at OoT objectively rather than the (warranted) nostalgia-glasses. It was huge back in the day, but today it's pretty small.
>>341568112
>look at the bottom of map
>magical short cut
hehe
>>341568112
cute
>>341560447
Game is either the space between oot and wind waker or endgame
