We already know that Ganon engulfs hyrule castle at the very beginning of the game, and all the guardians we've seen so far have rusted and decayed. Yet in the webm we see a working guardian and the castle in it's past state. Could this mean something? Will there be a time travel mechanic that takes you back hundreds of years?
despite pushing the gimmick of being open world it looks like there's a lot of recycled content from wind waker / twilight princess
>Will there be a time travel mechanic
>It's a Zelda game.
Wew, lad.
>>342079291
>Yet in the webm we see a working guardian and the castle in it's past state
Trinen said that battle with a guardian happens in the past and then you go to sleep for 100 years
>>342079403
Like what?
oh shit, this might explain why the master sword is all rusted and shit. Maybe you have to go back and retrieve it in a time before it withered.
>>342080097
Oh shit, that makes sense.
>will you mess with time
>in a zelda game
what the fuck do you think retard?
>>342080185
>takes you back hundreds of years
I'm talking about a big time lapse. Unlike OoT, which only took you 7 years in the future. SS, WW, and TP don't count because time travel only focused on a specific area.
>>342079291
Since Hyrule is ruin at the beginning of the game, towns might only be accessed in the past. That's why they were left out of the E3 demo
So is this link the same one from LoZ/AoL NES?
>>342080185
>>342079415
Yeah man that totally happened in every single Zelda game.
Oh, wait.
>>342079645
that horse battle down to the animations looks exactly twilight princess. a lot of the things like chopping trees to cross them, down to the particle effects looks like wind waker. the stamina meter is right out of skyward sword
>>342079291
Guardians seem to be in varying states of disrepair. The demo showed one that could shoot you half buried while the trailer showed ones that could move and attack.
>>342080756
I think he might be ALttP Link considering his long side-burns and the ability to talk telepathically with Zelda
>>342080097
>>342080156
Hold up, I forgot where, but I read that it's not the actual master sword, but a regular sword
>>342081629
Do you remember who said it? Was it Aonuma?
>>342081196
>A lot of the things like chopping trees to cross them
Wat
>>342081196
>chopping trees to cross them
literally what other game has this other than BotW
>>342080756
>>342081543
It's a new Link. This game takes place after Wind Waker.
>>342082930
No, dummy, it takes place after zelda 2
>>342083536
This Link is right handed. The only other canon right handed Link was SS Link.
>>342079291
>and the castle in it's past state
Anon that wasnt hyrule castle that's the ruined Temple of time
>>342079403
>>horse battle down to the animations looks exactly twilight princess
>> the stamina meter is right out of skyward sword
And this is bad why?
>>342082718
A game I'm fucking working on-- and it's a total bastard.
I even came up with the mechanic while thinking 'what could we do that's a bit Zelda like, but not something that's been done in a Zelda game?'
Those fuckers.
>>342083536
I've heard no solid evidence of that. Only thing I've heard was how Ganon is a pig and the Sheikah are important to the story. That's very weak evidence, and certainly not proof.
For Wind Waker, there are Koroks in the game that look like exact copies of the WW ones, the Rock Salt referencing an "ancient sea", and Link's blue clothing.
>>342084668
That never happened
>>342081629
You're being a fucking dipshit. Around the starting area there's a sword stuck in a stone you can find. It's a Master Sword fake-out.
>>342084701
The kingdom of Hyrule in this game is in ruin. Zelda II was in the Era of Decline. The Master Sword is rusted because it wasn't used in Zelda I or II. The Monks in the shrines refer to Ganondorf as "Ganon" which implies the fallen hero timeline.
>>342084538
Anon the building in the webm is definitely Hyrule castle
>>342084847
And everyones gonna say the same thing if/when it even comes out.
The way it worked was different though you would see a dead tree on the other side of a gap, you would try to find your way around to it, bash it so it falls, then use it as a faster return-bridge after passing through an area. Like the gates in Dark Souls.
Later on in the game you'd be able to throw things at the dead tree from across a gap to make it fall without having to get around to it to bash it.
And yes, very shit hypershaded maya model art.
>>342085020
Hyrule could be in ruins for a multitude of reasons, like being stuck under the ocean for a hundreds of years. Also, Ganondorf doesn't actually die in Wind Waker. He's turned to stone and stuck down in Hyrule with the Master Sword turning him to stone. Since he still had the Triforce of Power, it's not hard to believe that he got un-stoned for the sake of plot. Also, he's called "Ganon" in the final fight of OoT, so there's potential for him to take the name back up in any of the three timelines. The Master Sword wasn't used in the games after WW either, so the rust argument is just as legitimate for it as it would be for Zelda II.
>>342079291
Or it's endgame and ganon has been beaten already. The guardians probably just get more active as you get further into the game
From what I've seen this takes place after Wind Waker, the oceans have receded and the world is new once again.
Mostly because we see the pic related version of the Kokiri/Koroks which only appeared in Wind Waker and Hyrule Castle was preserved in Wind Waker under the ocean.
>>342085271
Well, that sucks for you I guess
>>342085271

HNNNNG
To be honest... I'm really excited about the new Zelda.
Skyward sword was shit because of motion controls and having bad gameplay. I would of played the fuck out of it otherwise.
Can't wait for the new Zelda.

>Ganon's tower
>those ruins
>>342080097
Wait, if you take the master sword from the past into the future then why is the rusted sword there in the first place? Also, if you take the master sword from the past it would prevent all links leading up to the future from obtaining the sword, creating a timeline where Ganon wins.
>>342089413
Maybe you put it back.
My money is on Demise' influence has slowly rotted the Master Sword to its core.
The demo showed some random rock with a sword in it on an island (I think it was the food/hunting video). It'd be hilarious if they pulled it out and it causes an immediate bad end because the rock is Ganondorf.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RmPP4GRJEU
>>342089813
They have shown that Ganon is in his monster pig form, in a cloud, running laps around a castle in the distance. Whatever you are facing, that is where it probably is.
>Ganondorf sealed at end of Windwaker
>Hundreds of years pass, ganon and the master sword sealed at the bottom of the ocean. This is why the sword is so rusted
>Koroks are successful at growing a new continent, or the ocean recedes.
>Demise manages to destroy the seal on Ganondorf, freeing himself and separating from Ganondorf
>Demise is what is seen enveloping hyrule castle
>The old man you meet is Ganondorf, trying to get you to fight and defeat Demise so Ganon can bring him to his soul again, as without him he isnt immortal and is aging and dying.
Still dont know how or when link being put to sleep factors in
Maybe they cant find the Master Sword, so they freeze link until it can be found so he wont be killed and they wont have to wait for his reincarnation.
>>342089813
I have suspected this is what cauaed Calamity Ganon in the first place. We see that the Master Sword has been moved to some wooded area. What do you supppse happened when whoever pulled that sword out of old beardy in order to move it?
>>342090041
>Link saves Un-flooded WW Hyruile.
>Spirit Tracks Hyrule still exists in the world.
>Leading to a future battle strategy game that pits Un-flooded Hyrule against Train Hyrule..
>>342090274
This is a good point... is there just some random ass, huge as fuck plateau somewhere in the game with a second Hyrule where everyone is still bitching about that Malladus guy?
>>342079550
>>342090647
Train Hyrule isn't Hyrule, it just has the same name because Zelda is a retard and forgot what the King told her.
It's probably pretty far away.
>>342085271
so it's a completely different mechanic from the one in zelda? so what are you even complaining about? script triggered creation of shortcuts to travel back to already-explored areas have existed in games since like forever
fuck off shill
>>342090647
Kinda. The WW line has moved on with life.
>>342090768
Wait what? I thought he told them to go and build a new hyrule? Or am i rembering wron
>>342082930
>no Link so let's flood this shit
>new Link fucks off to a new continent
>let's unflood this shit
lel, no
>>342090793
Yeah, man. I'm really hoping most people see it like that.
>>342090795
Welp, he got us fellas
Show's over, let's wrap this one up
>>342081013
This exchange reminded me how unreasonably upset I get when people insinuate that the Dark World in Link to the Past is some future version of Hyrule.
It's the fucking Sacred Realm corrupted by Ganon. I can only assume it was called Link to the Past because it was the first one to break continuity after Zelda 1 and 2, and they were implying it was a prequel.
>>342090764
they went on record that Link waking up in a desolate world is NOT the beginning of the game
Link battles Guardian, then fucks off to take a nap, some shit happens, he wakes up 100 years later
>>342090897
Too be fair ganon was destroyed so the reason they flooded it in the first place is gone
>>342089786
but they you'd be the one who partially rusted the blade in the first place.
>>342091020
Weird. So why are guardians going apeshit on your ass in the first place? I thought time just fucked them up.
>>342079291
This is now a BotW webm thread
Quick question, do you think a 9 year old would be able to play Skyward Sword?
>>342091386
This really needs that SSX song attached to make it 10/10. Would also accept Superman from Tony Hawks for originality.
Hey faggots i want to play zelda I & II, which NES emulator should i use?
>>342091642
Able? Of course. But i don't think any 9 year old would prefer SS over shit like Minecraft.
>>342091852
the good one
>>342091642
Dont see why not? Might have trouble figuring out where to go though.
So Malladus and Yuga and faggot like that are confirmed to be also reincarnations of Demise' hatred after Ganon has been fully deaded? Where does Vaati fit into all of this, and why haven't we seen a 3d Vaati?
>>342091909
Do you think this is a fucking joke
>>342081013
Nearly every Zelda game features either a "dark world" or time travel. Mechanically, the two are pretty similar.
People seem to be getting too wrapped up in the concept of the game being completely open and not having tutorials. It just doesn't seem to be true. The game is certainly in a less patronizing style, but lets look at some evidence.
>You can't get off the first geographic plateau, without the glider.
>The glider it purchased for 4 orbs.
>You get the 4 orbs by completing the shrines on the first plateau, thus equipping you with the standard puzzle tool set for your s-pad.
The gameplay isn't insulting for sure, but it is still basically following the Zelda event progression. The first plateau is your tutorial level. Maybe they will set the player free to deviate after that, but there will certainly be something telling you the next place that the game suggests you go to.
>>342091897
>>342091919My younger brother has been asking me to let him play it so I was just wondering if the difficulty/controls would be too much for him to go at it alone.
Anyway, thanks.
>>342092286
I'm fine with this. Having an open world with actual progression is far more fun and rewarding.
>>342092453
This is true.
>>342090895
"Daphnes: ...Ah, but child... That land will not be Hyrule. It will be YOUR land!"
First thing they do is call it Hyrule
>>342091642
Why not? Aonuma said his 5 year old could play TP
>>342079291
I wouldn't count it out. But seeing how they're going out o their way to avoid conventional Zelda tropes I highly doubt it.
>>342094841
Well hyrule never matched truly. It's more of a template.
>>342091154
so?
>>342085816
It might be before TP and this game will explain why the Koroks are missing in that game
Also because the Temple of Time is more withered than OoT (and Castle Town around it is in ruins) but isn't completely destroyed like in TPand the Korok are specifically spreading the seeds around old Castle Town/the ToT which is why they're in the middle of the woods in TP
>>342082930
It's too early to say. There are elements from multiple games. OoT Temple of Time, TP Bridge of Eldin, WW Koroks, SS Goddess Statues. They might just be throwing in everything to throw us off.
>>342091010
The future theory is stupid. Why would Link turn into a bunny if it was the future?
>>342095213
This game obviously is in the future because technology.
>>342094906
I beat LttP at 5 years old, I think a 9 year old can manage Skyward Sword
>>342095523
Don't be so sure.
Skyward Sword, the beginning of the timeline, has robots and machinery and electricity.
>>342095523
>What are the ancient robots in SS
>What is the Tower of the Gods
>What is the Temple of Time (TP)
robots and magi-tech isn't anything new to the series, it's just more up front in this one
>>342095667
>>342095735
No you're wrong because it fits my narrative.
>>342085271
As a game developer: get over it. This happens. A lot. Games are in development a long time.
>>342095213
I don't remember Koroks being in TP
>>342096227
Yeah that's why I said BotW might explain why they aren't there
Since equipment degrades with usage, I hope that there are still ways to feel Like you are getting stronger, heart/stamina upgrades and such.
I also hope that rewards for accomplishing out of the way tasks are more than just 5 fire arrows or a weapon that will eventually break.
>>342096363
oh, my mistake
Bill later said (I think in this video) that once you get off the plateau the ones with legs are roaming around randomly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sYTaru5RhA
>>342096413
>heart upgrades
Almost certain, if they haven't seriously fucked with that
>stamina upgrade
Probably, considering how much more ubiquitous it appears than ever (haven't played SS, where I heard it showed up more).
There's also likely to be the requisite infinite or very high durability items too. You've also got your clothes, which I don't believe degrade at all, and we've got one for cold temps, a shot of armor, and there's probably one for hot temps as well. Though these may all be "necessary" for progression, depending. Food seems to provide temporary benefits along the line of how warm clothes works, so one assumes it does for hot temps and so on as well.
We'll have to see how the clothing works out overall. That rupee draining armor in TP was interesting, if incredibly stupidly implemented.
What if Zelda was a girl?
>>342096781
>Though these may all be "necessary" for progression, depending.
They already confirmed they are, you can't swim without Link's tunic, which I think is retarded but fits Zelda conventions of unlocking new areas

>The play area afforded to players at E3 is visible below, as is our compiled version of the entire Breath of the Wild map. In all, there is a lot of the map even within the E3 demo area that can’t be accessed without teleporting to it, whether it is because Link can’t swim without his tunic (which he doesn’t have in the demo), or because the area is separated by a large and dilapidated bridge that is not crossable.
>>342091852
I use Nestopia
what does the breath of the wild smells like?
>>342097805
One assumes they mean something like a Zora tunic that allows longer swim times or diving (which I don't think we saw at all in the demo). We see him swimming just fine in normal water, just using up stamina fast enough to not really get anyway far. I wonder if different food would also play in here. Probably can't have the same resources everywhere in the world.
>>342097805
This is bullshit, he swims naked in the official trailer.
>>342079291
Why des Hyrule change every game? Why is therer not just one standard map
Fucking stupid game series anyway. Only good game was oracle of seasons
>>342097994
>>342098060
Maybe it's just something they put in the demo to keep them from leaving the starting area, then.
In the Polygon demo they fall in water and just respawn:
https://youtu.be/52UaLUUnpe4?t=165
>>342098110
Because it would get boring very quickly if it was the same map every time.
>>342098165
he goes swimming here
>>342096697
within the first 7 minutes of the game.
So yes you are right, it's just a demo thing in certain areas.

Hue.
She doesn't play a single second of gameplay in that video, anon. That's all Bill Trinen there. Aside from when the other guy played the first half of the video.
>>342098951
Bill's fired again.
>>342098951
Bill is at it again. But at least he's not Reggie, who got destroyed in Smash.
Are there any playable games for wii u (apart from splatoon). I'm really considering to buy it just for new Zelda.
>>342099009
>>342099012
From the other videos, it's clear Bill is pretty much just fucking around. He blows himself up too during the E3 stream during a "project" with exploding barrels, a fire place, and a club. Other Treehouse people also spend varying amounts of time just goofing off and not playing optimally, probably because they're also too busy talking and commentating. And to show off various things that don't come up when playing perfectly.
I'm sure they've also played it more times than they can count. At that point, you get comfortable enough with the game to make stupid mistakes like that.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJMEpOiPZG8
This video has me convinced. BotW's hero is Link from ALttP/OoX/LA, he survived after waking up from his dream and was kept alive in that Sheikah pod.
>>342099091
>Are there any playable games
all games are playable
>>342079291
>the horse didnt die in that explosion
what the fuck nintendo.
>>342099550
I think so too, the Master Sword art is too similar to the ALttP art.
And the world looking likt Zelda 1 and 2 would make sense, since it's in the same timeline.
IMO, it's in between LA and Zelda 1.
Sorry if repeating points, didn't watch the vid.
>>342099550
But why is he right handed
Just because?
>>342099695
Horse armor amiibo.
>>342099091
I recommend TW101, Mario Maker, Hyrule Warriors, Mario Kart 8, Smash 4, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Pikmin 3, Bayo2, and Lego City Undercover.
If you like Zelda, try Hyrule Warriors. It's basically all Zelda fanservice and it's loaded with content, especially with the DLC. That game's given me like 500 hours of gameplay and I didn't even complete everything.
TW101 is my favorite game on the system but it can take a while to wrap your head around the control scheme.
>>342099695
you replace your horse just like your weapons.
>>342100054
Most likely gameplay reasons. Like TP and SS.
Nothing more about it.
People WANT to have it mean more. But it probably doesn't. Aonuma just stated: Gameaply reasons. Most players are righthanded, sword-button is on right side of the gamepad.
>>342089813
Are you talking about the one they pulled out on stream and it was just a rusty sword?
>>342099695
It was running on pure adrenaline like Gus in Breaking Bad.
>>342100054
Because Aonuma wants it to match the control scheme. Same reason as Skyward Sword and mirrored TP.
It has no lore related reason.
>>342099091
wonderful 101 and bayonetta, you get bayo 1 and 2 together in one case
xenoblade chronicles and xenoblade x

Ganon is looking pretty spooky this time around
>>342101220
At first I thought he was on a horse, but when someone pointed out it was his lower jaw it made it really creepy
What if Hyrule Warriors is canon, and this the reasons for the timelines converging.
Assuming that's what's happening.
>>342101220
i wonder what the bright shining light is? triforce or something?
>>342100987
the battle with the guardian and link going to sleep is probably the opening cutscene, and then the game begins

calamity ganon? is this written by kojima?
>>342101349
more importantly, why is the light shining brighter and brighter at a certain point in that webm
>>342081629

This is the biggest autism.
Not Sonicfags, not Undertalefags, not FNAFags.

It's still the Zelda lore, your butthurt notwithstanding.
>>342101504
Care to elaborate? Why is it generic? Why doesn't it make any sense? Why is it shallow?
If you're gonna be dismissive, please explain why.
>>342101504
the timeline is a retcon, but the important thing is that they've committed themselves to it and will likely consider it in all future games
>>342079291
Yeah, but those pillars with red lights surrounding the castle are still there. I believe they are used to create a sort of barrier to contain Ganon - either you really go back in time and see they aren't still active or you find a way in modern time to "purify" the castle (maybe through those pillars connected to the dungeouns?) and free Zelda.
I drew this Link
do you like it?
>>342101853
It would be really cool if they made a game where you could rebuild the ruins magically someday. I wanna see the Temple of Time in it's full glory again.
>>342101349
It's Zelda, locked there with Ganon to make sure he doesn't escape.
Has she been guarding the castle for 100 years? Or did the old Zelda give her the mission to protect the castle and keep Ganon there?
I bet she was born in the castle and hasn't even ever seen Hyrule;_;
>>342102174
>you finally get to bang zelda
>shes a withered old crone
>>342102167
TP had you travel back in time to when the Temple of TIme was restored
>>342084316
Link is ambidextrous. Maybe the pod corrected his main sword hand.
How does everyone think they'll handle the master sword? obviously weapon durability is a huge system they worked on but its pretty obvious that the master sword will be unbreakable. Do you think itll work with a sharpness system? Requiring you to repair it. Do you think it will be obtained really late in the game to the point weapon durability doesnt really matter?
I heard an idea that the soul orbs may connect to it. Possibly that if you collect all of them you can get the master sword. The biggest issue i see with that is, it causes it to be optional.
Also they have done upgrades for the master sword before, skyward sword you made it, and in WW you had to power it up with the light of evils bane again. I could see this also being a solution. You get the master sword mid game as always but its pretty shit until you upgrade it.
>>342101271
So, those are his nostrils glowing and not his eyes?
>>342090041
Swords dont rust, definitely not the Master Sword.
The Master Sword looks battle worn.
>>342102303
No, those are his eyes, they're just on top of his snout
If you look at the picture you posted you can see the snout sticking out in between the horns
>>342102303
looks more like somebody wearing a fuckhuge helmet with horns and glowing chuuni eyes grafted onto the face of a boar, think Voldemort in the first Harry Potter book
>>342102330
>swords dont rust
>>342079291
I literally thought that webm was no man's sky until I looked at it 3 times
>>342102403
In that still it looks like that, but if you watch the entire webm it'll be obvious it isn't a humanoid
>>342102330
>Swords dont rust, definitely not the Master Sword.
Putting >>342102412 aside, these are video game swords, they rust all the time. That's just how things go. The Master Sword is very obviously rusted in the logo and the trailer.
>>342102412
oh, does the master sword look anything like pic related?
no?
oh shit, you sure proved me wrong.
>>342102482
Meant tusk rather than horn.
>>342102287
Weapon degradation with no repair system was a mistake. I have no faith the permanent items will be implemented in a satisfactory manner with this system.
>>342102529
lol youre a retarded cunt
>>342102330
If this is the Wind Waker timeline, the Master Sword has been at the bottom of the ocean for hundreds of years.
It would rust.
>>342102462
I wasn't thinking it was purely a humanoid. I was thinking it was a humanoid combined with a pig body in a grotesque way, an abomination.
>>342101271
He's got some weird Perfect Chaos mouth thing going on.Calamaity Ganon is what the imprisoned should have looked like
Screencapping these retard rustposters, I want you fags to be there when you're proven wrong.
>you can go straight to Ganon and defeat him
>BUT YOU DIDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO REVERSE THE DAMAGE/SAVE ZELDA/NOT JUST TEMPORARILY KILL HIM
I'd be going through the towns and dungeons, anyway.
>>342102665
The imprisoned would be good if they either didn't give him feet or didn't give him such stupid looking feet. And don't get me started on the arms it grows.
>>342102685
>and defeat him
Im almost certain they didn't say you could defeat him, only attempt to fight him
>>342096781
>>342096413
In one of the direct feed/interviews when asked about stamina upgrades, Bill Trinen said that you'd be able to upgrade Link's abilities in some way, but didn't give any specific infomration
>>342102287
The Master Sword is probably gonna have an important role in the plot, so we'll almost certainly get a WW/SS kind of quest to restore it.
I'm also guessing Link's iconic green tunic will be some sort of ultimate outfit that can withstand the cold and heat, and there will be a Hylian Shield will be a special, unbreakable item.It'd be even cooler if the one with encrusted jewels from ALTTP/LA/OOX was hidden in there somewhere, though.
>>342102676
haha, post it when you're wrong and APOLOGISE.
>>342102760
I think it will just be tied to food recipes. Those can get pretty powerful.
>>342102848
Will do, friend.
>>342102775
>It'd be even cooler if the one with encrusted jewels from ALTTP/LA/OOX was hidden in there somewhere, though.
On a similar note, the Magical Sword is the best looking weapon in HW.
>>342102862
Aonuma said the upgrades would be standard Zelda fare
>>342091010
Its called Link to the Past because it has the word Link in it. The Japanese title is like The Triforce of the Gods.
>>342102707
I remember thinking he looked pretty cool in the first trailer they showed him in. You couldn't see the stubby little ends of his legs or toes in it.
>There are people who think the rusty sword in the rock is actually the Master Sword
You guys are just memeing me, right? Or is there other info about the MS that I'm unaware of?
>>342091060
but the king wished for hyrule to be flooded and forgotten, that was kind of the whole point of the last scene
>>342103309
Its on the cover. It'd be stupid to do that just to ruse players.
>>342079403
>recycled content
did we seriously manage to make "concepts and gameplay elements returning from the games predecessors" into a negative thing?
>>342103309
We're not talking about that rock, the Master Sword is rusted on the logo and they even show it in the trailer ya dip

What is this sword?
>>342103418
oh shit are these real?
Mega Pincer looks awesome
>>342099550
Can't be, ALBW takes place at around that timeframe and Hyrule is clearly in perfect condition there.
It's most likely either right after OoT's decline timeline, after AoL, or at the end of all converging timelines.

>>342103441
Looks more like a sickle actually.
>>342103431
Ah okay, thanks anon.
>>342099472
>>342085816
The Koroks existing in a different timeline than whichever one WW is in could just be convergent evolution.
>>342103547
>>342103441
Looks like one of those crazy throwing weapons that the Africans used
>>342102924
My nigga.
I'm a sucker for detailed, jewel-encrusted weapons in video games.
>>342089413
>take sword from past
>use it throughout the game
>beat game
>cutscene shows Link putting the sword back to the past and then returning to his time
Simple.
>>342103431
I can't find the source video of that...got a link?
>>342104129
It's the official trailer.

the five sword
>>342091642
make sure to remind them to pause and calibrate every now and again
based on complaints over control issues, most ADULTS are too retarded to remember to do that, so don't expect a 9 yo to remember to do it unless you tell them to
>>342103441

oh!
>>342103547

>>342104407
looks like it has 2 blades though, or is that just an artifact of the video?
>>342094841
>First thing they do is call it Hyrule
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe they ever actually refer to the land of Spirit Tracks as Hyrule in game, that's something that Hyrule Historia made up because it was basically glorified fan theories

I feel like this covers all the convoluted time elements shown here, right?
Side note thing that bugs me: This trailer shows us a ton of shit but we've yet to see a populated hub or dungeon. I know they've been mentioned but I get several degrees of uneasy around devs who refuse to show over tell.
>>342104615
They removed them for the demo versions to avoid plot spoilers.
'Course we just have to take their word on it, but I know I saw what looked like a random villager chopping down trees in one scene of the trailer so that probably speaks to that.
>>342104615
There was a village in the E32014 trailer, so I don't have any doubt there'll be villages
Aonuma mentioned the only way to get rupees is to buy and sell things, and there needs to be traders for that
>>342104509
No it definitely has two blades.
Adult Timelime Map, Child/Downfall to come later.
Yellow dots are places that exist through multiple games from SS, MC, OoT, and WW's Hyrules. With the exception of the Temple of Time (which is the Sealed Grounds in SS).
Black dots exist only in singular games.
Hope this helps some people out. If you want I can try to add BotW to the map as we know the direction the Temple of Time faces and the rough location of Death Mountain and Hyrule Castle
>>342081196
you are stupid, the animations are literally all new, you cannot change how a fucking horse runs
of course there'll be some sort of mechanic where you revive the world and play as princess zelda
>>342089413
that's not how time travel works in zelda games
>>342103897
yeah it kinda makes sense that across the three timelines certain things are certain to happen
like maybe The Koriri will always end up evolving into koroks
>>342091852
An actual NES.
>>342104864
They already said they considered letting you play as Zelda and decided against it
>>342104615
>This trailer shows us a ton of shit but we've yet to see a populated hub or dungeon. I know they've been mentioned but I get several degrees of uneasy around devs who refuse to show over tell
Considering we've still got 9 or so months until release (maybe more, if it gets delayed again for NX reasons), this shouldn't come as a surprise. I'm almost certain they're just holding that content back so they can drip feed it to fans, since BoTW is the only home console game Nintendo has currently in development that's actually worth anything
>>342104716
This meme has to die. They removed nothing. They avoided showing them.
>>342104718
And yeah I don't doubt there will be people to interact with to at least some extent. I just worry that's all.
But where do the gorons fit into this?
>>342105007
jon snow said he was dead for good and yet here we are
>>342105075
They're at Death Mountain like they always are.
>>342095523
It's Zelda. If this game has advanced tech it must be before Skyward Sword then because tech seems to go backwards.
>>342105063
>They removed nothing.
They did remove the NPCs. The old man you see in Nintendo's demos is gone in the show floor demo.
>>342085020
Reminder, the timeline isnt canon and is literally a fan theory. Even says so in the Hyrule Historia. Nintendo literally doesn't have a timeline.
>>342105171
Nah, Skyward Sword only had it because of ancient civilization bullshit
In TP we have at least late 1400 technology, and in WW 1700
>>342089413
that finally explains the existence of a Ganon wins timeline
>>342105171
Not possible. Ganon exists and the Temple of Time is still standing despite it's degradation.
It can only take place in between two games due to that. OoT/ALttP or MM/TP, as we can rule out OoT/WW due to the Flood and there being no hero.
There is a lot of time in between those two assumptions, especially OoT and ALttP, we still have no idea of the time period between the Sages sealing Ganon and him escaping and invading the Sacred Realm turning it into the Dark World.
The only other possibility is a timeline convergence from AoL/FSA/ST that are slamming them all together and causing things from across time to start blending into this one.
>>342103949
>mfw this is the fusion of the three master swords from all the timelines
>>342105171
>another game before the origin point
I sure as fuck hope not. It already pissed me off when Nintendo made Skyward Sword before Minish Cap.
>>342105323
No: Ganon(dorf) wins timeline is identical in everything except Link loses
>>342105234
No it doesn't...
>>342089413
The Master Sword isn't some magic time travel device. Link only travels through time in OoT because the Sages froze him there until he was old enough.
>>342105323
It never needed explaining. It's literally just "what if the hero of time got a game over"
>>342105171
Has to be post-SS 'cause Master Sword and has to be post-OoT 'cause Ganon.
>>342099091
If you're really that clueless on what to play on a Wii U and just want it for the new Zelda and you have absolutely zero interest in any other game that is currently out for it, then don't buy one now and just wait the fuck out until Zelda releases, because you may
a) witness a price drop for the Wii U as it will soon become obsolete with the release of the NX, which the new Zelda is also a launch title for
or
b) find another game that also comes out on NX that you want to play and ignore the Wii U entirely and just go for the NX in the first place
>>342105323
It doesn't. The reason Ganon wins is because there are two concurrent Hero of Times. One who fails, one who succeeds. As they're bouncing back and forth between Adult and Young Link respectively they begin to influence each other's timelines (Song of Storms Paradox).
Because of this when you inevitable battle Ganon as the succeeding Hero of Time, you are Adult Link, this makes the failed Hero of Time Young Link. Once Zelda splits the Main Timeline into Child/Adult by sending the succeeding Hero of Time back to being Young Link, this allows him to stop affecting the failed Hero of Time's Downfall Timeline. Because of this he inevitable fails against Ganon.
This is also why there aren't diverging timelines for every potential failure or event in Zelda. Because there are never two concurrent Links existing at the same time, which is due to the Hero of Time messing with the Master Sword, and there isn't Ocarina of Time shenanigans from Zelda (as opposed to resetting the timeline as Link does in MM, Zelda doesn't reset it, she just diverges it).
>>342105483
>The Master Sword isn't some magic time travel device. Link only travels through time in OoT because the Sages froze him there until he was old enough.
It is for the Hero of Time which allows him to travel back to the past when he puts the sword back into it's pedestal. This doesn't happen for every other Link. There is a reason he is called the Hero of Time.
