http://nintendoeverything.com/over-100-monolith-soft-employees-are-working-on-zelda-breath-of-the-wild/
It's said over 100 staffs of Monolith are cooperating in making Zelda BOF.
Guaranteed to be masterpiece.
>>341826592
You do realize Monolith also helped work on Skyward Sword, right?
this is GOOD NEWS
Acquiring Monolith Soft is one of Nintendo's greatest modern decisions.
>>341826704
And it was a good game.
>>341826983
A 5/10 game is not a good game.
It looks really good. I might actually buy a Wii U for it.
>>341826704
SS problem was the linearity forced on you, but the world itself was good, so was the combat
>>341827076
I'm not interested in your childish internet fight.
Remember, we have monolith soft to thank for this glorious map.
Look at it.
Look.
Fucking look at it.
Less than 2 fucking % that demo area was.
Nintendo really did it this time.
>>341826704
Master, I have calculated a 92.34% chance that Breath of the Wild will interrupt your gameplay to hold your hand and pepper you with redundant information catered to 3-year-olds. Would you like me to repeat what I have just said in slow scrolling text?
>>341826704
What parts?
SS was lousy, but had some stuff that made it tolerable.
>>341827183
Poor guy I don't have the heart to tell him
>>341827308
>Breath of the Wild will interrupt your gameplay to hold your hand and pepper you with redundant information catered to 3-year-olds
there was none of this at all in the demo. nt even a tutorial
>>341827315
imagine SS with an open world, no hand holding, where the combat STARTED with enemies like stalfos and went upwards from that instead of having 2-3 good fights in the whole game, didn't put you on fetch quests, didn't keep having fi fuck with your shit, didn't have the entire experience be on the rails with zero exploration and wait a second why did anyone enjoy this game
seriously what was good about SS besides music and presentation quality?
>>341827272
Who do we have to thank for Link still being fucking right-handed, even without the goddamn motion controls?
How the hell did Nintendo aquire Monolith soft anyway?
>>341826592
>that rock texture
What the fuck
It's so jarring, especially against the grass and trees which look good
>That feel when I've literally been saying for years that Skyward Sword wasn't the piece of shit /v/ tries to make it out to be
>That feel when I have always acknowledged the things it does right despite it probably having more negatives than positives
>>341826592
Will we get a new bro in this adventure?
>>341827653
Aonuma
He said Link is right handed because you press the attack buttons with your right hand
>>341827779
its just a beta
>>341827272
Hasn't this kind of crap been bs 95% of the time
>>341826592
eh, games this big tend to be letdowns. remember re6?
>>341827812
Will we get a new underrated waifu?
>>341827864
...
>>341827864
That's like saying you only move with your left feet
>>341827864
Hahahahaha I love Aonuma
He jloves making everyone sperg out
I remember when Star fox was supposed to be a masterpiece when Platinum was going to work on it
>>341827779
>people literally complaiing about rock textures.
cant' you shit up some console war thread?
Is there a perfect quality video feed of the e3 demo? All these shitty streams and over the shoulder youtuber videos are horrible.
>>341828117
monolith hasn't made a bad game. platinum has made several. also, monolith is first party.
>>341828238
>Xenoblade Chronicles
>Baten Kaitos 1 and 2
>Xenoblade Chronicles X.
>>341828049
>>341828082
>>341828105
It's true
>Aonuma explained, "In terms of right-handedness of things, when we think about which hand Link is going to use, we think about the control scheme. With the gamepad, the buttons you'll be using to swing the sword are on the right side, and thus he's right-handed."
http://www.gamespot.com/articles/why-zelda-breath-of-the-wilds-link-is-right-handed/1100-6440870/
>>341827972
look at the size of windwakers overworld HOLY SHIT
you see less than ONE PERCENT of it during the intro
>>341828189
GamExplain has one, but it's difficult to watch. Whoever they had playing it sucks worse than watching an 8 year old try a racing game.
A lot of hilarious exploitable moments, though.
>>341828131
>any criticism at all means you're just a console warrior bully :'(
Fuck off.
>>341828323
Thanks for proving his point anon
>>341828189
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVgbDmwssK4
not really. this is all we get for now probably.
>>341828339
thats not how math works
also outset was pretty small
>>341828323
You could've said Disaster
>>341828398
why don't you fuck on?
>>341828189
Nintendo's own channel doofus. Only problem is the tittymonsters talking over it.
No wonder I like it so much. They just stuck link in Xenoblade.
>>341828339
but there's a billion more things to do on the Great Plateau than on Outset Island
>>341828601
>perfect quality
Guys screencap this
Breath of the Wild will be as good if not better than Ocarina of Time
>>341826704
Let me say as much as I despise skyward sword it's not because of the world layout than it is the controls/story/backtracking/silent realms
The areas were actually pretty fun to explore tho i wish they were all apart of one area instead on being split into 3
>>341827783
Are you me, anon?
I'm a complete little faggot bitch for zelda, it's been my favorite ip for over 20 years.
I'm biased I guess but SS had a lot of good things it brought to the table. It looks like BotW is everything the core zelda fanbase has been asking for for years with all the good stuff from SS added in.
This is going to be the game of the decade. This is Nintendo's magnum opus. My body is ready. Aonuma-san. Fill me with your innovation.
>>341826592
Zelda needed to be this 10 years ago.
Just from footage, i'll hold on to my wii u just for this last hurrah.
>>341827653
link is right handed because hero mode will possibly flip the screen/world making him left handed
>>341828810
Let's take off our shirts and kiss.
>>341828938
I'd accept that.
>>341828330
but... all the other games...?
>>341828742
It's close to impossible have a perfect score game today.
Seriously, mario galaxy games are in 95-97 range. Even last of Us got a 95 despite the perfect scores everywhere.
But, well, of course it going win a lot of GOTY awards.
so did they just remove any interesting enemies for the demo?
>>341828938
How can there be a hero mode if this "Link" isn't actually a hero?
>>341829091
its a demo of the beginning of the game and they showed like 3 enemies, so what do you think?
>>341829023
*Raughs*
>>341829091
They removed a lot of shit from the demo. Plus, Bokoblins are the main enemies of the plateau, thematically.
>>341829206
Aonuma you crazy bastard
>>341829104
thats actually the fun part of speculation, dont you have to beat the game in TP or ALBW to unlock hero mode?
>Link is right handed because of right handed buttons
>it matters because Gamepad is massive
>since NES the controls were tiny then each control scheme kept morphing
Aonuma may be on to something i suppose. why should Link have to be a Lefty other than consistancy?
if it's for the sake of keeping the player engaged then it's probably a good thing then, actual lefties be damned.
I wonder if you'll meet Dark Link at some point
>>341828719
It is though. Direct feed at least, best you're gonna get.
>tfw you believed /v/'s lies and called aonuma a hack
s-s-sorry senpei
>>341828938
>hero mode will be a mode that randomly generates entire hyrules and randomly places items and dungeons and enemies
>every sonygger commits suicide along with kaz in a huge surrender ceremony
>globalists finally form their NWO but miyamoto is crowned god emperor
>all loyal nintendrones are given kingdoms and harems of sex cyborgs modeled after nintendo females (and males for you fags)
>the golden age lasts thousands of years
I will just be the guy to say Xenoblade sucks and Monolith sucks, and this makes me more skeptical of BotW
>>341828742
I actually believe this.
hope the dungeons aren't shit though.
and the OST. if they nail those, this will be the best Zelda ever.
>>341829367
TPHD had it right out the gate, but ALBW was NG+
>>341828742
This game is gathering almost all the shit Miyamoto wanted in OoT that could not be implemented.
This game is turning out what OoT was supposed to be, I will shit my pants if the theory of BotW Link being resurrected OoT, it would be literal pottery.
>>341829450
Why do you hate fun anon?
>>341826983
pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffppptt
that's the sound of me taking a skyward sword
>>341829180
>>341829214
okay good. but then it's not like past games have had a lack of enemy variety. even the mediocre ones. I'm sure all the classics will be in it.
I CAN'T WAIT TO BOMB SOME DODONGOES.
>>341829393
whats to stop having multiple Dark Links, with various weapon types, and near identical fighting capacities?
>>341829071
Remember, gone homo got 10/10
>>341829631
that's because it was the best gone home it could possibly be.
This game is Xenoblade Chronicles: Zelda. It all makes sense. They made an RPG version of this game 6 years ago. The UI, world detail, menus, item collecting. It's all the same. I'm not complaining though.
Anything you guys are worried about?
I literally only have 1 worry. Just 1.
I hope there isn't 4 dungeons. I really hope that's bullshit.
>But they'll be huge
Doesn't matter. I'd prefer 8 dungeons that are half the size, all with their own aesthetic than 4 massive ones.
No matter how hard people try to convince me that four big dungeons will be okay, I ain't going to accept that shit.
It's why I'm not a big fan of MM and WW. I want 8 dungeons at least.
The world is enormous for fuck sake, just add more dungeons.
I wouldn't mind 4 dungeons you HAVE to beat in order to beat the game, with 4 completely optional hard dungeons however. That would be fucking great.
Which is really weird, because Breath of the Wild looks like it's doing everything wrong to make an open world game not tedious, while xenoblade x was great. Have you seen how fucking slow link runs, and he can only run for literally 4 seconds before becomming winded? Meanwhile in Xenoblade X your character was practically sonic the hedgehog. Then you have link in an open world with all of these mountains, but link climbs like a fucking sloth, and in xenoblade x you could just jump 40 feet in the air. Finally even with epona you don't seem to be moving that fast, but skells were absolutely amazing. If this game doesn't have fast and easy fast travel right from the get go, I am seriously dubious about buying it
>>341826983
Skyward Sword was easily the worst legit Zelda game. The flight mechanic sucked, the art style irritated me to no end, the reuse of content killed me (figuratively) each time I had to revisit an area just to unlock the next part. I hated the combat, too. The only good thing about Skyward Sword was the music and the final boss because it's the only part of the game that gave me any kind of challenge. Here's hoping that BoTW is as amazing as it looks.
>>341829758
xenoblade's combat left something to be desired. also, parts of it were downright ugly.
>>341827905
>five years development
>>its just a beta
The game is finished, they're waiting for the NX. Enjoy your hideous game.
>>341829631
Yes, don't ever back a "video game critic" in the current year. Just use your own brain. if Gone home was a multifloor skyscraper with Lesbian battles, then it could have been a 10/10
>>341829770
but WW had like 5-6.
but what if they're more like giant areas with different themes, etc. than 4 big buildings?
>>341829770
4 dungeons is literally a baseless lie why the fuck is anyone taking it even remotely seriously
>>341826592
Too many cooks.
this game looks pretty good but am I really expected to buy a whole console just to play it?
isn't it the only game announced for NX?
>>341829825
>xenoblade's combat left something to be desired.
I won't say it's an award winner by any metric, but it's serviceable enough.
>also, parts of it were downright ugly.
It's a goddamn Wii game with fuckhuge areas, what else did you expect?
>>341827372
My fucking sides...
>>341828742
Literally any possible game is better than OoT. I've never played a game I liked less.
>>341829901
so you wanted persona 3?
>>341829810
You can capture horses
>>341829758
It actually looks more like Dragon's Dogma. Without the tedium, hopefully
>>341829770
WW has more than 4 dungeons
>>341829770
>He only wants 8 dungeons
I'll literally kill myself if theres not AT LEAST 20 massive dungeons each one with his own unique gimmick
>>341829558
We all know what happens to pottery in Zelda games though...
>>341829562
Xenoblade is the opposite of fun.
>>341826592
Then why does the world seem so goddamn fucking shallow unlike Xenoblade Chronicles X which genuinely had a good open world?
>>341829810
It has fast travel between warp points, i've heard rumors that your main horse can be upgraded to run faster and longer
>>341829950
xenoblade was like the berserk movies. I just wish they picked something and stuck with it. why did some parts have water that looked like water, but then eryth sea was just a mess?
TP did large bodies of water that looked beautiful, on lesser hardware.
>>341829487
my speculation is that you are a perfected specimen of Dark Link created by the Sheikah magitech, due to you being an absoulte reflection of Link, hince right handed, you are used as a knock off to force start the cycle of after another Links failure, and you are in stasis until Zelda's reincarnation.bleh sounded better in my head
Yeah man I'm so excited for this game yea
>>341829915
a broth is just a metaphor for a simple, direct idea. But this game has layers to it, thanks to the experiences of Monolith and the now pretty tired Zelda Team. They needed a serious revamp.
>>341830097
they removed towns and npcs for demo
>>341830027
dragon roost
forbidden woods
greatfisOH WAIT NOPE
tower of the gods
earth temple
wind temple
ganons doesn't really count
>>341827272

>2% of the game is worth at least an hour of dead silence
>It's easy then to infer a total game of somewhere around 50 hours of absolute fucking nothingness for audio.
Dungeons better have god tier leitmotifs bros.
>>341827272
>huge patch of literally nothing
>>341827272
Im still cautious about that. If 80% of it's endless nothing who really cares.
>>341829991
i want certain weeb shit but i never played Fatlus game.
>>341830115
get your eyes checked, the color is there
direct streams are just shit

>>341830115

>>341829995
Stop with this meme.
How is the actual gameplay at all similar to Dragon's Dogma?
Picking up random shit and eating it doesn't count.
>>341830256
:^)
>>341830221
>never played Persona or SMT
doing it wrong: the post
>>341830097
I'm hoping they get really creative with the level design and the demo only shows off the basics. Xenoblade X had the most beautiful/creative open world I've ever seen, I'm gonna be pissed if BotW is just miles of grass and snow and desert
>>341830174
There will be more in the final game, they mentioned removing NPCs and towns from the E3 demo to avoid spoiling parts of the story.
Great game guys looks amazing
>>341830092
I'm not saying you can't have personal preference, I'm just saying that your personal preference is trash and has absolutely no ground in terms of making claims on what is considered fun
>>341830256
game appears is near completion, it's just getting finalized and prepped for the NX launch.
Beta argument is also pretty damn petty, you could use a shitty crying mspaint strawman for those 4 words.
has a Zelda ever been hard?
lttp doesn't count. it's not. and don't mention 2 because it's a piece of shit.
>>341829940
Just dance 2017 as well
>>341829770
>Anything you guys are worried about?
My hugest fear for this game has already been dispelled to some degree by the recent gameplay footage we saw. I was worried that "open world" would mean big, open areas with no content, where all you do is hold the stick forward. Kind of like those big open oceans in Wind Waker, where you don't really do anything meaningful and you're just waiting to be taken to the next area of actual content.
But, from what we saw, Link moves pretty fast and there are always enemies to fight, something to explore, treasure to find, etc. I didn't watch the whole thing, I only watched it for an hour or so, but from what I saw they were always doing something fun.
>>341830436
it's amazing how they got it to look so bad. did someone smear vasaline on the screen or what?
>>341830097
There's a hell of a lot more interactivity in the Zelda open world then there is in the Xenoblade X open world
>>341828323
Are you implying that the Xenoblade and Baten Kaitos games are bad, Anon? Surely you must be in jest.
>>341830228
What the fuck, why are the colors so much better on this than the direct stream?
I thought it should have been the opposite.
That shit is like going from a TN screen to an OLED.
>>341830317
The combat might not be exactly the same, but the climbing, the enemy encampments, the loot, the pausing to heal, bosses in the overworld look similar enough to be comparable
>>341830369
Not intentionally. I i'm a filthy casual that got burned out of turn based rpgs but i can't resist an engaging story. or simply, engagement.
>>341830228
Why would you post this video when the trailer was released on Nintendo's official channel? I literally just watched it the other day.
>>341830576
this seems to be a problem with open world in general
>doing something meaningful
fighting random enemies and finding worthless treasures is meaningful to you? this whole genre is just mindless busywork. that's okay, but not sure why people whine about something just being what it is.
>>341830617
Yes but i'd rather have fantastic layered terrains to explore with lots of cool stuff to find than be able to chop down a fucking tree in the middle of nowhere or burn a bush
>>341826704
Not OP, but I wasn't aware of that. Interesting
>>341830256
>>341826983
if you could use regular gamepad then it would be decent
>>341830557
I'm drunk, i thought that was Croagunk.
>>341830369
why? those games are garbage. literally just anime clichés and archaic gameplay.
>>341829758
I hope the next xenoblade
Has a zelda like battle system, xbx had flashy animations but it wasnt enough to hide the boringness of mmo combat, it was fine on the wii's xenoblade but once tou have mechas you really want to have a more hands on combat system.
>>341829104
Citation?
>>341830761
>Worthless treasure
Better equipment is nothing worthless treasure
>B-b-but it eventually breaks
So? They have a good progression system.
We've soon treasure from 1 area of the game which is barely over 1% of the map.
Yeah nah, I think everything is fine.
>>341830771
what did you find in xenoblade?
![[saltats externally].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Qu0idTo.jpg "[saltats externally].jpg")
>>341826592
If BotW is even half as fun to explore as XCX was, it will have succeeded at being a great open world game.
>>341830761
As long as you're doing something, then there's content happening, and I'm entertained. I just don't like games like Skyrim, which seem to rely on the player being impressed by the scenery and the visuals, which is why you move really slow and you go 10 minutes or more without running into any enemies.
>>341830115
Not even a modern high end PC could load all that shit in the distance without being forced on its knees. See Arma 3
Do you think they will release the great platea demo on the eshop?
>>341830714
>climbing
Not the same. In BotW, it's solely for movement. Even against the rock boss, it was just for movement. You can't attack while climbing.
Furthermore, there's no indication that clinging onto enemies will throw them off-balance or slow them down. Though I imagine there will probably be at least one enemy where this will be the case.
>enemy encampments, loot, pausing to heal
Have nothing to do with Dragon's Dogma specifically, and are a staple in many action RPGs, including Skyrim, The Witcher, and to a limited degree, even Souls.
BotW looks great, but it's only superficially similar to Dragon's Dogma.
>>341830551
Didn't Nintendo say it will have a mainline Mario game released for its launch as well?
>>341829604
That would be fucking great. That also might help narrow down when this game takes place in the timeline.
>>341827864
He may be hiding something, like thatthis is the Link from Skyward Sword. Either that, or he wants to really emphasize the eastern food to western food thing.
>>341828323
Yes, that's what he meant by "hasn't made a bad game".
>>341830987
>They have a good progression system.
they claim it, don't fall for all promises. so far the early area does have what they let us see so far, but the late game could be a huge let down.
crossing fingers.

How fucked are you?
>>341830637
don't forget nintendo fucked up with limited rgb through hdmi for the Wii U
>>341831017
Caves, camps, bosses, ancient ruins, intriguing environments
>inb4 BotW has that too
Yes but from what i've seen BotWs open world is mostly just miles of grass and snow and desert. Like several shots in the videos showed landscapes with literally NOTHING interesting at all in the distance that would draw the player to it.
>inb4 they removed everything interesting from the demo
No they didn't. They didn't SHOW it, but just because it exists somewhere doesn't mean that what we've been shown is long fucking stretches of literally nothing.
Pic related.
>>341829823
Skyward Sword was infinitely better than Wind Waker. How you faggots can praise that awful game is beyond me.
>>341829770
>Anything you guys are worried about?
The fact that the world looks barren and empty as fuck.
Enemies just as piss easy as ever
Tons of redundant items
The lack of anything Zelda at all to throw in features that have been industry standard in open world for 10 years now.
>>341830740
does the official trailer look the same or does the video posted have better color saturation?
>>341826983
I agree anon. It was fun. Far from worst Zelda imo but not best, that's still MM
Ever read a book called "The Mythical Man-Month"?
>>341831362
I hated Wind Waker as much as Skyward Sword. The only good thing about either game was the music you limp dick fuck up.
>>341830576
I'm more worried about it falling into the other open world trap of loads of shitty side quests. No repetitive or quest marked quests like those in Skyrim, Xenoblade, or any Ubi game, if they have to have side content let it be large game spanning quests like the skulltula hunt or trading quests that don't interrupt exploration.
I would love it to have no side quests at all, just shrines and dungeons around the world to find. And for none of them to be marked on the map.
Do we know if the game has quest markers telling you where to go?
>>341827183
Just get a NX at that point
>>341831496
Majora's Mask was the worst in your view? How? Why?
>>341831295
True true. Wouldn't be the first time something like that has happened either, but I'm cautiously optimistic.
As far as early game goes, I think the amount of shit you could do was pretty on point.
Obviously I expect more enemies later on and perhaps some loot that isn't just a new better weapon, but again, it's the very first area in an enormous world. It might not feel like it's the first area due to how many hours the Treehouse managed to cram into that one area, but it's definitely only the beginning for sure.
>>341831326
what are you trying to imply with your filename?
it's it's simply about a certain special effect absent in the real world, it could simply be omitted for the sake of not getting in the way of enjoyment. but what do you mean?
are you guys ready to WITNESS THE END OF ZELDA CYCLE ?
>>341830185
Bottom left? Looks like it may be a MASSIVE forest to me.
>>341826592
Monlith are the ones saving this game.
There was an article in a previous thread earlier today that practically proved that Aonuma, Fujibayashi and Miyamoto would've fucked up again and given us Skyward Sword 2.0 if it weren't or Monolith (AKA NEW FUCKING BLOOD) intervening and telling Aonuma to let go of traditions that he followed but didn't even know why anymore.
If it weren't for them, I'm certain that the game would be a disaster.
Hopefully I'll find the article or someone will post it.
>>341831142
Mario is dead.
>>341831679
That would require Nintendo to never release a console again.
Literally never.
>>341830912
>archaic gameplay
>Persona and SMT
I hope you don't play Pokemon.
>>341831585
No no MM is best in my view
>>341827272
I'm so damn tired of huge maps. when will this horrible trend die already? TP's map size was fine.
>>341831585
>only 4 dungeons
> only 1 is good
>>341827864
Bullshit. He's hiding something that has to deal with the plot.
And with Monolith lending a huge helping hand, there's a high chance that the plot for BoTW is going to be a mindfuck.
>>341831726
I would be very interested in that article
>>341831679
got aBongfriend who predicts this is the forth timeline branch.
>>341831679
The Zelda cycle will only end when nostalgiafags stop being a thing.

The game overall was more challenging than the others that were out at the time (except Zelda II) and had a very interesting aesthetic in terms of the layout, theme of each area, and method of story telling. It was a good game, certainly not the worst.
>>341831679
I genuinely feel that this is going to be the plot of this game.
All timelines converging to end the cycle, only to start a new one from it instead.
Death & Rebirth.

turn based games were fun when games were simpler but as shit went all over the place in the late 90s onward i don't enjoy what i once loved simply because it's too simple. Pokemon applies here.
>>341831817
Good news! Now we have 4 dungeons, "100s" of Portal test room tier mini dungeons, and hundreds of hours of soundless fields instead of a concise and active overworld!

It's right here.

>This is definitely the first time we’ve created a game this large. We didn’t know where to start. So it happened to be there was a team that was working on creating a larger world. And this team was a group of younger developers. So we had our old programmers from the Zelda team take a step aside, so we could introduce this new group of programmers.
>But then these new, younger developers had no clue about how past Zeldas had been created. The group of new staff actually would ask us, like ‘Well I know that it’s been done, traditionally, in other Zelda titles, but why does it have to be that way?’ And among those questions there were some I just couldn’t answer, that I didn’t know the answer to myself. That was because I just took those things on as a tradition, and I didn’t really know why the tradition existed.
>When you think about it, maybe those things really didn’t need to be there in the modern world, those traditions. So I started destroying these traditions I’d inherited in the series one by one. But it’s a process that takes a lot of time. And because we were destroying everything we’d done in the past, and rebuild new ideas from the ground up, that was the hardest thing, and it’s really taken a long time to create the thing I most wanted to create.

Where did I type that? Because I didn't.
Instead of archaic, try "tried-and-true" formulaic gameplay. Shit is like chess.
>>341832019
I seriously hope this isn't the case. they made a little too big of a deal over the fact there will be hundreds of those boring little shrine things.
>>341830174
I actually like the lack of music in the overworld

Just checking but...
Are you posting that to blow him the fuck out or is that supposed to be another pic that looks bad?
Because the bottom looks completely and utterly great in my book.

Thanks for posting.

xenoblade was more interesting for the fact it's a level based rpg, where you actually gain skills, etc. so there incentive to explore. can't see much reason in this to, seeing as the combat looks piss easy.
>>341832086
You're fucking retarded. I'm simply voicing concerns. Comparing footage i've seen of BotW to what i've seen in XCX.
XCX is not even close to being a great game.
Why do fucking mouthbreathers like you always have to stir shit up?
I want the game to be good just as much as everyone else fuckface
I've got the feeling this game is going to be really good
First thing I'm gonna do in this game with all those explosive barrels, webm related.

>>341832153
all they need to do is keep on altering the shrine theme and elements to not be repetitive. one shrine was a mega hamster wheel, so i think they are going to use their grab a gimmick and dump it that has been expressed about mario level design. so mite be cool.
What part of the timeline do you suspect it will be in?
>>341832341
Don't do it, you'll brick your console!

huh. looks like a solid7.5

Too bad Iwata had to die before he finally understood.

>>341830369
oh god i hope that skyloft
>>341831726
But anon, this game does clearly follow tradition.
They're basing the progression and world design off the first Zelda game for the NES
>four (4) dungeons
>way too many shrines that are bound to be repetitive
>no overworld music
>voice acting
>weapon durability
>pause-and-heal means EZ
>hurr durr hit the small weak point boss
Not even gonna get started on graphical issues. I was pretty excited originally but now I fail to see how this will offer a quality Zelda experience. Was hoping for at least twice as many dungeons.
>>341832413
pls no. that sounds awful. I never asked for this.
>>341832042
What traditions are they destroying?
Don't tell me you can't walk into people's houses and break all their pots anymore. And if they make bottles common, every day things that can be found anywhere, I think I'd be disappointed.
>>341832438
Everywhere and nowhere. It's a pocket dimension where all timelines converge.
So we Dark Souls now.
>>341832482
The power of neo-nintendium, can't brick a brick when it's already a brick to begin with.
>>341832614
>So we Dark Souls now.
Is there a single shred of evidence for this?
Daily reminder you can jumpcancel your attacks and quickswap your weapons in this game, so you could for example: perfect dodge slowdown > combo juggle > jump cancel > fire arrow slow motion > switch to heavy weapon for midair finisher
>>341832571
Where does this "four dungeons" idea come from? I don't think Aonuma ever said this himself.
>>341831326
Based Bill fucking around and blowing shit up.
This is a game I can see myself playing for hours at a time just messing around and seeing what I can do. I don't have the webm handy, but that clip of link paragliding towards a guardian, witch-timing and shooting it in the eye with a fire arrow was sick.
Snowboarding on pot lids also looks fun.

No, just like the majority of these retarded "theories".
Just ignore zeldauniverse posters.

Why are all these people so goddamn retarded? Why does every sod who plays this demo not understand this very basic thing?
>>341832605
They're destroying Zelda gameplay traditions that Aonuma can't find one good reason for existing in the first place, like autojumps.
>>341831679
Pretty much everyone said Nintendo will never recover if the new Zelda wasn't the second coming of Christ. Now I'm not sure if that was a joke or a prophecy.
>>341832614
It might, It could also fit in before Wind Waker (technology lost to the bottom of the sea,) or long after Zelda II and it's OoT Link. I would much prefer it to be OoT Link except that OoT Link was a lefty.
>>341832684
Yes, a fuckton if you've actually been paying attention to Zelda lore threads within the last several days.
>>341832605
There are no bottles from what we saw, if you make something liquid the icon is just a bottle

>The Game Awards demo showed us a patch of land about 3 blocks to the right of the patch of land the E3 demo took place on
>It looked exactly the same
I really want to like this game, but comparing side by side the footage from there and the footage from here now has me realize just how little there is going to be. If I didn't have these maps for comparison, I would never be able to tell you those 2 areas were different places. Worse yet, the sheer travel time. They have a huge time laps in the demo they show off of going 1 squares distance. Their idea of getting close to it was "4 more minutes on horseback"

>no bottles
I'm sad. I think the fact that bottles are these rare, valuable objects which must be obtained through side quests or searching in obscure areas was one of the smaller, more charming aspects of the series that really connected with its core identity.
I dunno, maybe I'm placing too much emphasis on it, but if bottles really are gone, I'm sad.
>>341832769
How did you not think of that with the game's environment being so interactive? You could practically build yourself a little fort of crates and barrels to funnel enemies into fighting you one at a time.
>>341832762
artificial difficulty.okay I haven't played it. sidescrolling Zelda? fuck outta here.

After the failure of Xenosaga, Monolith grew closer to Nintendo through various little ways and their relationship just got stronger ever since. Iwata said that their philosophy is the same and that the games Monolith makes is the kind of content Nintendo wants on its platform.
