Do you think the Sheikah will have a bigger focus than ever before in BotW?
That's hardly something to debate about, it's plainly obvious
Where on earth did you get that in such high-res?
And yes.
It looks like it'll be the Sheikah being given focus, but it'll actually be some other thing entirely that's related to Sheikah that's going to try and "explain" the Sheikah more, but it'll probably be handled poorly.
>>342736272
Previous games had lots of sheikah stuff too. But they still never really delved that deeply into it in spite of it.
Skyward Sword is absolutely full of sheikah stuff, yet Impa was the only sheikah person in the game and they never really addressed the sheikah at all.
And it's ironically Twilight Princess that has the most on the sheikah, even if it's almost all by proxy from focusing on the twili.

Do I think something that we've already seen?
>>342736153
Will Sheik be in this game?
>>342737591
Hopefully not.
Nintendo loves to repeat stuff, but Zelda turning into the same character every time kind of takes away from the magic of it. And not only cheapens the idea of Sheik, but the idea of Zelda in general.
She's been a ninja and a pirate and all kinds of stuff. If she is to be transformed as something I'd like it if it was something new.
>>342737221
nothin
>>342737834
What a faggot
>>342737221
That they're in the game.
How far do you think they'll push "technology" in the game?
And do you think we'll see anything relatively modern/realistic or do you think they'll stick close to the magitech throughout?
>>342737834
shes going to be transformed into a man and there will be a subplot with male zelda and link featuring uncensored, hour long unskippable rape cutscenes
>>342738719
Hopefully fucking magitech, I fucking hate it when fantasy gets butchered with actual tech
>>342737834
Zelda is the old man!
>>342738719
I hope they go all the way in, having a halfassed tech that is only enemies and is not explained would totally ruin it for me.
BotW takes place after Zelda 2.

What are the chances of the Twilight Realm/Dark World/Whatever existing in the game at all?
>your face when you are suddenly warped into the twilight realm and has to face off an overworld boss to get back

I'm sick of Zelda having some kind of alter ego.
>>342739389
b-because my dad works at nintendo...
>>342739556
is steppe talus the name of the area or the monster
>>342739560
Agreed. I'd much prefer if Zelda was just Zelda.
I am just saying that if they insist on having her transform into stuff, let the transformation magic stay transformation magic in the broad sense and not just transforming into a specific form.
Any of yall do the Miitomo Drop? I got the hoodie
>>342737259
My dream for Dark Link, is while you're exploring in a mountainous area, you find a lake in the mountains, which form a circle around it and it's small beach. You get closer, and realize the lake is pure black. A ripple appears in the middle, and Dark Link slowly rises up. He has no clothes or weapons, similar to how you start, and suddenly your equipped items flash onto him. You fight, and he vanished at the end. So now Dark Link is roaming the overworld, and whenever you get an item, HE gets that item too, and his equipped stuff is always the same as you.
>>342738719
Magitech is perfect, at least it will still be a fantasy game.
If the fucking Voyager pulls up to Hyrule though, I'm out.
>>342739716
hahaha
>>342738719
it's a fantasy game not a sci fi
>>342739746
comfy ghibli zelda
>>342739556
I say the chances of that are the same as getting hints about Majora or the Firce Deity in the game,so next to non, which is a shame.
>>342739746
Also, you can find him in settlements, destroying crops, forcing everyone to hide so you have to fight him off before you can get in any houses(without some crafty hookshotting, but he'll be able to hook shot into homes too, so you'll have to look harder to find him), etc. and yes, he can burn shit.
>>342739797
>If the fucking Voyager pulls up to Hyrule though, I'm out.
You wouldn't approve of Link being beamed up and having a dungeon in a UFO?
>>342736153
yeah, I'm getting the feeling Link himself might be part of the bloodline this time, I know he's always Hylian, but he might be a mixed-race this time, shouldn't be out of the question...either that, or the Sheikah were very 'aware' of the legend this time, they'd need some reason to have Link like that...actually, if this takes place before Wind Waker, what if this is an alternate path to the era without a hero, and the sheikah have him preserved from a previous era, so as to have him present when he's needed.
>>342739697
Yeah, Steppe Talus is the area name and the boss is called Great Plateau.Are you retarded?
>>342738719
There's been magitech stuff since Link to the Past. Dungeons had mechanical traps, electric devices, lasers, conveyor belts. I agree that there's a point where it could go overboard and become scifi more than fantasy, but I'm not seeing it so far. Yeah, the fucking pokedex could be a little much, but it's not going too far.
>>342740459
how it's written i thought steppe talus could be a sub area within the great plateau. don't be mean to me
>>342740459
I am still not sure myself.
>>342740557
Open world concept goes directly against every design tenet that made Zelda popular.
Prove me wrong.
>>342740996
It's essentially the design tenet that made Zelda popular in the first place.
>>342740996
Open world Zelda is just zoned zelda without loading times
>>342740996
the first zelda had this design and its what made the series popular
>>342741121
Non-linearity and free roaming are the design features that defined Zelda. 'Open World' is distinct genre with its own tropes that run against some of the formulaic elements of the old games.
Not the guy above, though. I'm cautiously optimistic abot the game, myself.
>>342740996
Zelda INVENTED the open world concept in 1986.
You've been proven wrong. Have a nice day.
>>342741451
>Non-linearity and free roaming are the design features that defined Zelda.
>'Open World' is distinct genre with its own tropes that run against some of the formulaic elements of the old games.
No. Zelda just did Open World before people dubbed it "Open World". And just because lots of developers have done a horrible job at it since, does not mean Zelda wasn't still/still isn't Open World.
>>342741451
>semantics
i doubt the game is truly open world like you described. it is non-linear like the original but people are using the phrase open world synonymously with non linear.
I really want BotW to have tons of lore, tel me anon, will they make everything clearer?
What's your best shield surfing webms?
Post webms!
>>342737221Are there any good true-form-Midna/Zelda lemons? Link can come too.
>>342740292
>Zelda goes /x
Best sidequest.
>>342737221
Would Midna have been better if her grown form was still relatively imp-ish like in this concept art?
>>342739556
most zelda games have an alternate world in them, whether it is a dark world or not.
I actually think with the size of BoTW we may only have one world in the game, but that does not mean the other won't be mentioned.
I think there will probably be a big time element to the game.
maybe travelling back and forward through time
>>342742141
She is kinda ugly, but I would still do her. I don't get the hate of woman midna.That concept art is ok though, but kinda misses the point of the shadow people, as they where hylians but cursed, so they should look like people suffering.
>>342742141
Yes, because grown Midna feels absolutely nothing like the waifu I fell in love with throughout the game.
>>342741896
This has got to be my favourite webm.
>>342740996
>Open world concept goes directly against every design tenet that made Zelda popular.
it doesn't go against it, zelda has always had an open overworld, but you are limited in accessible areas because of lack of gear, which I assume they will be doing in this game.
using the cold that damages you as an example, they might have a desert area where you need something to keep you from burning up.
areas you need to float into with the parachute, ir breath underwater, so you have to find all this gear first. some may be in dungeons.
>>342741482
the first TLOZ was not the first open world game anon. though it was probably the most popular one.
Everyone knows that we can jump onto wild horses and ride them.
But what are the chances of us being able to find non-horse mounts?
>>342743157
I hope so.
Will Fi be in the game?
>>342742560
Human Midna was only around for like 5 minutes at the end, but she did seem a bit different. Which is odd, since they're supposed to be the same person, but she suddenly becomes mature out of nowhere after teasing you the whole game.
>>342743615
probably not. unless the now rusted master sword talks
>>342737221
They didn' t want to spoil them, because they' re closely tied to the story. Calling it now: The towns are named after the 7 sages, which would put BOTW in the downfall time.
>>342740996
>my first game was a 3D Zelda
Are you twelve?
I'm not even memeing, you genuinely don't seem to understand Zelda or its history.
>>342744349
I actually really appreciate that they didn't feature any towns or anything.
When I first heard about how they would only demo Zelda, I was legitimately frightened at the idea of Nintendo just spoiling way too damn much a full year prior to the release of the game. With two days full of treehouse streaming.
But they kept it to just one area, and they kept towns and NPCs aside from the old man out. And I am really happy they made that decision. Otherwise I feel like I wouldn't had been able to actually watch much of any of the demo footage otherwise.
>>342744632
overworld =/= open world
>>342744894
LoZ and AoL had an open overworld where you could go almost anywhere.
Compare that to Skyward Shit where literally every segment of the "overworld" is behind a specific lock and key, be that plot point or item.
Minecraft isn't the only kind of open world.
>>342745092
Again, there is a reason why no one defined the term open world before GTA. There are tons of games that had a map with entrances to dungeons in the 80s.
>>342744894
Over World is just something people have started to call games with worlds that are bigger than what they have content to carry said worlds. But there is honestly no reason to treat the term like that.
At the start of Dark Souls you can already access the vast majority of the entire game. In spite of there being some locked doors or whatever.
Who is the say that Dark Souls is not Open World just like Morrowind or whatever?
They both allow you to go towards just about any direction of the world at the start of the game.
>>342745396
>Who is the say that Dark Souls is not Open World just like Morrowind or whatever?
I quit. Also Morrowind is not an open world game for fucks sake, what kind of a fucking thread is this.
>>342745391
In what way is GTA an open world while LoZ isn't?
>>342741778
The word you're looking for is procedural, or even sandbox, linearity has very little to do with open world when it comes to plot structure.
I thought I wouldn't have to explain where the focus on the open world came from in BotW but for those that looked closely, the gameplay shown emphasized varying degrees of approach to encounters outside dungeons and making your own playground when wandering.
If you claim that looks anything like NES Zeldas you're fucking retarded.
>>342745629
like this guy
>>342745716
>semantics
Post some BotW gameplay webms please and let's pretend no one claimed that NES Zeldas were open world
>>342745716

>want a definition of open world
>complain about semantics
>>342745926

>>342745541
>Also Morrowind is not an open world game for fucks sake
Are you for real?
I guess I fell for the bait by responding.
>>342746056
So every game with an overworld is now by definition open world? Any game where you can go outside?
Okay.
>>342745716
>making your own playground when wandering.
So Zelda is now an open world game distinct from its NES roots because the devs included some bonus content like shield surfing? You're fucking retarded.
>>342746042
ok. how does that apply here?
>>342746173
>>342746173
>>342746292
They literally introduced mechanics that have you lift up trees, rocks, arrange them, pull chests from water, start fires, roll rocks down slopes, ignore or attack mobs at campfires and surf and fly around.
>>342746359
Just to add, they introduced all this and made it not relevant to the main plot.
I still can't believe I'm being called out by a retard who thought that going from Balmora to Shitvale while assaulted by birds in Morrowind represents an open world game.
>>342746131
So are you retarded?
Okay
I've played every Zelda for 1 to 2 hours and lost interest every time. I know they're good. I don't know why I do it. I'll probably be really excited before doing the same to this one.
>>342746131
How can a game be any more open world than Morrowind? Do you consider Skyrim to also not be open world?
The Elder Scrolls games from Daggerfall to Skyrim are all open world.
Please compare the TES games to a game or games that you do consider to be open world, and then explain why one is and why one isn't open world.
But do know that your idea doesn't mesh with the common idea of the public.
Just about any list of open world games or description of the Elder Scrolls games mentions the games and describes them as open world.
>>342746359
you can burn trees in the original zelda. so because it has slightly more experimental mechanics, BotW is an open world game and the original isn't?
>>342746359
All of that shit had a heavy impact on the gameplay. Climbing has been shown to be pretty fucking important to get around, as has making bridges out of trees, gliding across chasms, and rolling down slopes. Campfires are essential for cooking which is essential to recover your health.
Nothing you've mentioned is purely for goofing around like some sandbox game.
>>342746484
>I know they're good.
That's a misconception. Many of them are bad.
>>342736153
Hahaha NO.
The existed far before even SS. since the cking origin story of the series has time travel and the stones have a symbol far to similar to the skiekah.
BotW is far after SS and the shiekah were already gone by then.
UNLESS the shiekan merely adopted the ancient technology and learned magic that way. Either way chances are low.
>>342747335
and thats your opinion
Enough open world definition bullshit. Let's get to the lore!
>>342747531
And it's his opinion that Zelda games are boring.
What's your point?
>>342746484
To be fare a lot of zeldas arent as amazing as everyone raves, and the first 5-ten hours can be extremely boring in the 3d games if you arent speeding through to the good stuff.
>>342747542
>>342747542
What is this image trying to convey?
>>342747638
there is no point
What if BOTW is just a sort of "remake" of the original game?
Did the developers ever say anything about it necessarily being in the traditional timeline?
>>342747921
Wow, someone get this guy to the UN stat so he can let everyone know that opinions are irrelevant
>>342748374
What the fuck is wrong with those textures, that yiff rabbit carnage simulator has better ground
Will BotW have another poor girl?
On one hand I'm scared that the world will be too empty in a sense
On the other hand I feel the charm oozing of a less populated world in the way they have presented it
>>342748796
That's clearly a bird
>>342748952
Bird?
>>342748367
you sound angry, are you mad

It would be cool if the lake you fight him in looked almost identical to the OoT area you fought him in. Just enough differences to keep people from realizing until they trigger his appearance.
>>342737259
>>a bear companion
That'd be super.
I don't even know who the Sheikah are or how they came to be such a mainstay in Zelda tbqhfam
What do you guys think the towns and NPCs will be like in the finished game?
>>342749874
I don't know, but I wish there weren't actually any.
That would be a much more interesting exercise in game design, I think.
>>342749874
Interesting hopefully.
Or rather. I hope we'll get variety. The regions themselves are varied enough so I'd love to see different cultures actually be reflected in living settlements.
>>342748562
who cares nerd
>>342750434
I always liked the mix of barren hostile lands but with a few NPC inhabited areas that LoZ games usually have.

Hopefully full of cryptic clues and prostitutes like Zelda 2.
>>342749643
They weren't a thing until OoT. They were implied to be a dying race then, with Impa and (until the reveal) Sheik being among the last. They were described as a group of "shadow folk" dedicated to protecting the Hyrule royal family from the shadows. They're basically a tribe of ninjas with a technomagic culture that are behind a lot of the stranger artifacts within the Zelda canon like Gossip Stones.
>>342749643
They're a secretive group who protect the royal family
>>342751173
from the shape of the island being perfectly the same to the coral reef around or the elevated ground at the middle of the island, there's not much possibility here anon
>>342750753
Imagine if zoras live there and are dicks
>>342751756
considering there are koroks from wind waker and that in wind waker the Rito were an evolved race based off the Zora as the Zora were cursed and could not swim anymore, i'd doubt it
>>342751954
You know there's no convincing evidence to support that the rito descended from zora
Just because someone is connected spiritually through an instrument does not mean they are the same descendants
>>342751756
Could be. It depends on the game. In Oracles of Ages it is stated that river Zoras are cruel savages where as sea Zoras are normal.
>>342751954
The Rito are in >>342747756 too.
I'd love me some more bird girls.
>>342751756
>Island of feral zoras that shoot fireballs
I needs this
>>342751954
You realize the koroks are just tree spirits right? Sam as the kokiri.
Difference being the koroks are for spreading the forest where as the kokiri are quite the opposite, they already have an established forest and are stewards.
>>342752204
Kind of like blacks in the suburbs vs the ones in the inner city.
>>342752124
>You know there's no convincing evidence to support that the rito descended from zora
Well Aonuma said it himself that they descended from the Zoras. He's not the only one to have worked on the lore of the games so i doubt he would say that without it being true.
That plus the fact that Makar is a descendent of Fado make sense that Medii would be a descendent of Laruto.
>>342752406
>>342751756
>Yfw all races appear in this game
>>342752591
Yes, and the koroks have been said to be immortal. You can also observe that every korok that was shown into the footages that we got at E3 were also in Wind Waker. As in looking exactly the same as in Wind Waker using the same tools and talking the same way.
>>342752972
You missed the point.
I'm saying the koroks can be in literally any time period since they are immortal like you said as long as the deku trees spirit (same as the koroks spirit) carries on.
The "korok" you know and remember is just a physical form that changes depending of the forest spirits current needs. Since botw is a massive open world it makes sense the koroks choose their flight capable form.
>>342743352
Riding those fuckers was the best of part of those games. I need Ricky to come back.
>>342753321
>I'm saying the koroks can be in literally any time period since they are immortal like you said as long as the deku trees spirit (same as the koroks spirit) carries on.
You are right, but
>"Once upon a time, long ago, the Koroks took on human forms, but when they came to live on the sea, they took these shapes." — Great Deku Tree (The Wind Waker)
That and the fact that you can find "Salt from The Great Sea" and other dried rocks from the Great Sea implies that the game happen post Wind Waker.

From the smoothing of the corners and the way the circles are slightly triangular, it is an auto-trace of a very small image.
>>342754624
the circles in the original aren't perfectly circular anyway, it's supposed to look drawn. but it is probably an auto trace
>>342754624
>>342736443
Should be from the press kit. But the original is a 20 MB png file.
>>342755053
If it is from a press kit, then Nintendo is using autotrace to enlarge a small picture.
Something's been bothering me about Aunouma's description about Towns
Why is he vague?
Story terms? In what way? Can't he simply say "Yes there's towns", but he stated that and that it had importance to story that he doesnt want to spoil
You think it's more deeper than simply having a town? Maybe the experience of finding towns is equal to that of finding sunken hyrule?
>>342755345
The smaller pictures are the same though.
>>342755630
One of the firs thing I thought about when I heard and then also saw and realized that the game was fully embracing its world and exploration, was the idea of hidden towns. I really do wish they make something neat with it.
They have to have at least one interesting hidden settlement.
>>342755630
what did he say about them
>>342755672
That's the idea of a vector, is that is scales to any size imaginable without losing quality. But the vector was made by using an algorithm to trace something that originated as a bitmap. That's where the flaws were introduced, and the flaws scale along with the rest of the picture. Autotrace saved someone a few hours worth of tracing carefully by math/hand.
>>342755630
They don't have them fleshed/programmed out yet would be my guess.

How do they relate to the Hylians though? They sure look like them at least, aside from the tanner skin and red eyes.
>>342756418
That's not chocolate Anon. She's rusted and gashed. Fi will show up with heavy battle scars, and possibly and eye-patch. She'll be ill tempered because no Link has hugged he in at least 100 years.
>>342755630
Towns relate to the different races in the game which he doesnt want to spoil.
I imagine each town will have a crisis you solve at some point, like oot only with an actual town for each race.
The real question is if zoras are coming back will there be an underwater town? I would love a zora village like in oracles fully fleshed out with atlantis ruins fill with ancient tech as the dungeon

>>342756743 this, we learn in SS the Lanayru province was an ocean before the Sheikah ruined it
Also in TP the Zora domain in Lanayru looks like it was once under the sea with shell fossils in the walls
Any specific reason they chose to call it "Calamity Ganon"
>>342741858
I'm sure that they'll give us tons of lore, but it will be MM-tier in actually explaining things.
In other words, tons of unique fridge-horror lore that will provide far more questions than answers.
>>342757497
Because they're fucking GORONS.
>>342758685
"he" or "it" is probably more of a phenomenon this time around or at the very least at this stage, more so than a character or singular being.
Is my guess.
>>342756602
they protect the Princess of Hyrule I think
Impa in SS protected Zelda on the grounds that she was related to Hylia and the Sheikah were servants to the Goddess Hylia
>>342758685
just a cool name
>>342758685
Because it's a goddamn calamity and it's clearly Ganon.
>>342747904
I was the guy that took that. I was trying to find some stuff that matched up with BotW and TP's Temples of Time to see if it could take place in the Child Timeline. Seeing as how >>342747756 this is on the Castle Market Walls and Pillars in TP HD (too hard to make out in Base TP).
I could find nothing, but I took every pic of the stairs leading to something that I could as a reference comparison. The bottom left was just something interesting I saw inside the Temple of Time, not sure what it depicts, that's clearly the Dominion Rod being held (which was made by the Oocoo) and some other mysterious item, a lantern perhaps? Just thought it was an interesting mural inside ToT.
I couldn't find anything that matched up between the two. Which is interesting, considering we also have Koroks and a lot of stuff matches up with OoT's Castle Town/Hyrule Castle Royal Courtyard (where you meet Zelda).
So it might actually be a timeline converge, or maybe it's just a nice little nod and nothing more.
If anybody would like me to find some Sheikah symbols in WW and TP, or try to, I definitely can, it may take me a day or two to completely scope the games for all possibilities however.
>>342758685
Possibly a reference to the Oracle games. Ganon is brought back to life, but is just a mindless monster, Calamity Ganon.
>>342745876
Gta is not open world you tard
>Tfw you realize that the Zora evolved in WW not to actually better adapt to the ocean, but so that they would not be able to go back to Hyrule.
Is the huge world the "gimmick" of this game?
How poor are the chances of an alternative world, time travel, season changes, or whatever else?
Then again. The runes we've seen are pretty damn unique. I guess that's more than special enough already.
>>342759648
I believe there are only two instances of Sheikah symbols in WW.
>>342756418
>Punished Fi
>A Sword Abandoned by it's Master
>>342760465
There's no way we're getting an alternate world, thank god. They aren't going to pour all that development and pr hype into the supposed 100+ mile overworld just to throw in some dimension/time travel.
>>342759648
>If anybody would like me to find some Sheikah symbols in WW and TP, or try to, I definitely can, it may take me a day or two to completely scope the games for all possibilities however.
That would be interesting. If you're going to do it anyway I'd b interesting in seeing it. It's been far to long since I played the game myself to remember personally.
>>342760478
I'll go through it later, I'm curious myself honestly. I imagine you're right, but can't hurt to check on one of the random ass backwater islands. I think the one place I can't check is the Ghost Ship unfortunately. You can't re-enter that after you did it, correct?
>>342760948
Will do anon, I'll get started on TP after I get some food in the next 20-30 minutes, I'm likely better to find more there, though I might not be able to post things until another day or two, if I want to compile it all, since I'll be going back through dungeons too just in case.
has anybody been findinglinksto this game in TP?
has anyone ever decompiled TP and get all the castle town citizen models?
>>342761352
Just this one so far.
>>342761492
have you?
>>342761820
No, I'm retarded.
But I do now they were some qts in those crowds
>>342761696
Is the image on the left from TPHD, or a capture from the GCN version?
>>342761954
The image on the left is from the GCN version, top right is HD version, bottom right is BotW.
>>342759648
I want you to do that. I'm replaying TP HD now looking for Sheikah/Twili lore and planning to look in WW HD next, there are far too few eye symbols there.
Thought for a minute I found an old Sheikah eye on a beamos in TP but it's just the Goron symbol. Interesting they both seem to have the Triforce triangles above them.
Are there any translatable runes in the Tower of the Gods? I didn't know any of those things could be translated on my first playthroughs
>>342759648
>>342760948
>>342760478
I can already tell you're all heading down a path you don't want to tread. So I'm going to tell you this as a friend. Take this image as a consolation prize, and turn the other direction. Don't pursue this.I don't want anything bad to happen to you. ;_;
It's going to be agonizing to wait almost a full year for the game.
Kind of makes me wish that they would have a handheld Zelda for us or something in the meantime at the very least.
>>342762251
There should be, but I couldn't tell you what they were. I can't translate it myself off the top of my head.
I've just been running the isos since I've had them sitting around for awhile. Not great for some texture work, but it's better than nothing since I don't own a Wii U in which to look for things.
I'll definitely give them a run and go though. I know the TP Temple of Time has the Light Medallion placed about it in random spots, and considering it's similarities to the Tower of Gods and where it jettisons from above the Master Sword, they're likely the same location and WW's Hyrule Castle was built over the Temple of Time after it was destroyed in the adult timeline.
So I wonder if the Tower of Gods has Light Medallions too. I'll definitely go through them both and find out anything that I possibly can that might be interesting to post.
>>342762118
The wall relief is from BotW?
>>342762118
No, no it's not. This image is just a joke. That's the same texture ripped from TPHD.
>>342762406
It's alright anon, I love exploring in games, I spent hundreds of hours in SotC just running around exploring. Realistically I know there probably isn't no connecting to any of the games whatsoever beyond what is directly stated, especially for BotW, but I wan't to do it all the same.
The west has an abundance of stories featuring magical swords.
So how come all the stories featuring actual sword-people, are from Asia?
>>342762714
Yep, I believe it's first seen in the demo with the Magnet around the first Shrine. I could be wrong though and someone is free to correct me.
>>342762251
>Thought for a minute I found an old Sheikah eye on a beamos in TP but it's just the Goron symbol. Interesting they both seem to have the Triforce triangles above them.
You know, now that I think about it, I think the Kokiri emblem and both versions of the Gerudo emblem are the only Hyrulian cultural symbols we've seen that don't either reference the Triforce or have a theme of three symbols/objects somewhere in the design.
>>342762778
>BotW is Zelda Flashpoint
That'd be trippy.
>>342762849
Could be the Shinto belief of spirits and gods in everything?
>>342762772
Tragic that head had to be attached to a chicken body. She really needs to be further anthropomorphized from the neck down.
>>342762930
Well you can argue the Kokiri symbol since it has 3 points. Gerudo Desert seems to be it's own country with it's own lore, Sand Goddess. It would explain why they don't have Hylian Ears and why the desert is so massive in the first place but we never see it all.
>>342762885
Just googled it, it's in TPHD. Which makes sense.
Can we agree about the Temple of Time in TP isnt the same in OoT, since this is the Faron's Temple of Time present in SS? And The OoT Temple is the one in Lanayru, after its desert-era
>>342763103
you can imagine she has boobs
>>342737834
They could do it right though. Maybe she could turn into Shiek but instead of playing the "lol it's me Zelda" before the final boss, we could know it's her already. The gimmick this time is that she needs to be able to reawaken as Shiek and needs Link's help or something, maybe he'd need to find the "sacred Sheikah attire" that OOT Zelda used, or maybe some sort of magical object which allows it to happen. Some sort of fun fetch quest, maybe one of the dungeons would hold this sort of item.
I was also thinking, maybe intead of Sheik directly, we get a pseudo Sheik in the form of Link becoming some sort of Sheikah member who can use Sheikah magic, like the needles, teleportation, granade (from SSB4 maybe?). I just think this is a big possibility. Link already has a direct link witht he Shiekah this time, in the form of the Slate. And in the trailer Zelda or Goddess Hylia (or are they one and the same? I forgot) is/are telling Link to "open our [his] eyes". Maybe this is foreshadowing for when Link will awaken as a Shiekah, and it'll be like he opened his Shiekah eye, you know, like the eye of the Shiekah symbol? Maybe that's what all this is pointing towards?
>>342760283
Fucking hell, I'm stupid as shit for not realizing this until now aren't I?
>>342739746
This sounds perfect.
>>342763921
Chicken breasts.
>>342763997
Zelda is the mortal incarnation of Hylia.
>>342764216
Only the one Zelda.
>>342736153
Did you see Link's underpants? They are Sheikah clothing.
>>342762591
Interesting. Light temples and dungeons seem to often have tech in them too.
>>342762778
>that fucking inconspicuous swirl on the very top of the Twilight Gate
I swear this symbol has relevance. I SWEAR IT
>>342763863
I can't agree with you, because you're wrong about the Lanayru tidbit. It is in Faron.
I do however agree with you because the Hyrule Historia claims Castle Town moved. And because the Master Sword isn't present.
So either this game is taking place pre-Twilight Princess, or there's two Temple of Times in BotW, which means the Hyrule Historia is wrong about there being only one Temple of Time (it doesn't say that but it says the TP ToT is the same as the OoT ToT, which anyone can tell is bullshit by the geography and the fact Castle Town hasn't moved from the center of Hyrule).
>>342760884
I disagree, at least in part. We may not get a whole second world, but I bet we'll get a segment set in the past localized at least around the Temple of Time.
>>342762930
i always thought they were supposed to be 1, 2, 3 kind of thing. like the kokiri emblem has one gem, the goron one is symmetrical so has two points, and the zora one has 3
>>342764186
yum
>>342736153
>playing ocarina of time
>it's great
>slowly getting more and more hyped for botw
I will have to give jewtendo money AGAIN
>>342762406
Hoo boy, did you post her for any other reason than she owned that golden Sheikah mask?
If you really want to stretch it, that symbol around her coat has the circle, tear drop under it, and three symbols above the circle
>>342764804
I can see something like that, but nothing on the scale of a Lorule or a Twilight Realm.
>>342764743
Oh shoot, ignore that, I misread. I thought >>342763863
you were saying that this temple is in Lanayru.
IGNORE! IGNORE!
>>342764586
its just a spiral. its a common shape like a triangle or square
>>342764743
>>342765073
Actually wait, it's the other way around.
BotW Temple of Time is the one in Lanayru.
The Master Sword at the end of trailer is in the real Temple of Time in Faron.
>>342764586
oh look it's that boss from Kirby/DK/Mario METAVERSE CONFIRMED
>>342764343
wrong-o bud
>>342762772
delete this
>>342765112
Well of course it's a shape, as is a triangle which is often significant.
This particular shape seems to come up around the Twili. I'll gradually add more things to this image as I remember and find them
You guys ready for the obligatory Sheikah Slate app on iOS and Android?
