Breath of the Wild
Here I go again on my own!
Post your hopes and wishes and lore theories.
Definitely seems like there will be some space themes, with that mountain that looks like a comet or crashing spaceship ripped a chunk out of it.
Also that airship floating around the map could be aliens.
Maybe something about the shiekah being aliens or spacefairing people.
gamexplain got some direct feed footage, doesn't really look that much higher quality to me

>>342863343
Spaceships dont need propellers
>>342863682
where do you see propellers?
i see what looks like a space engine on the lower back of it
I wonder how long stasis lasts for.
It's actually a good thing that the game pauses for you as you search the menu, rather than utilize a real-time system like Skyward Sword. This allows for more depth in combination with stasis.
I want to see if you can suspend a bomb, and while it's suspended, use the leaf to blow a bunch of gusts so that when it blows up, the hot air is buffered and blows forward away from you. But that means you would have to be able to suspend wind too, which is unlikely. Unless there's another Sheikah power for that.
I just want a collection of towns that feel alive and have quests that reach out to other towns like how you had to help bring the milk to clock town.
Shit was so cash
Can some one dsump the webms?
Couldn't save them n my pc last time.

Only have a few

That's right, the technology has always been around, just cycling back around, it's Zelda, I ain't gotta explains hit.
>>342863117
>gamexplain got some direct feed footage
How did they even manage to get their hands on that?
Gamexplain are rather scummy. I have a hard time believing companies would cooperate with them that easily.
>>342863117
>Definitely seems like there will be some space themes, with that mountain that looks like a comet or crashing spaceship ripped a chunk out of it.
Someone in the treehouse said the shrines were very space like, so I definitely think there's more than meets the eye to them.
Question for the sake of new discussion: Are there any items you don't want in the game and/or are there any changes to past Zelda items that you think would be interesting for this game?
>hookshot now works with the physics
>e.g. attaches to enemies shields and drags them to you if they are lighter, drags you to them if you are lighter
>>342873380
Probably means no matter which path you follow it'll end and begin with the Era of Calamity like the Age of Dark in the Souls games. The hard reset for the universe.

>A future game will have you break out
>A true evil arises
So anyone find it kind of strange that BoTW is the first time ever where Link is actually named "Link" and not whatever the player decided to fill in for the dialogue while relying on some generic title like "hero" in voiced cut scenes? I'm sure we'll be able to name our save files, but that's probably all it'll ever extend to.
But on one end, it provides more justification that Link is becoming his own character. Could it have something to do with the plot or the gameplay?
>>342873976

>>342873859
They showed you can just walk to a brazier with your arrow and light it on fire.
>>342874118

>>342874114
It means you aren't the actual hero and you're just a robot, a Link to the hero. You'll probably meet the actual Hero of the game at some point.Old Man
>>342873970
>A game explaining the origin of the hero's hat after a game where the legendary hero already wore that hat
HMMMM
>>342874203
I know, it just gave me a funny image of one with it on the front getting stuck in the ground.
>>342873607
>Gamexplain are rather scummy. I have a hard time believing companies would cooperate with them that easily.
They do almost nothing but jerk Nintendo off, and have been to a number of exclusive Nintendo press events.
>>342874289
Well it's been retconned, deal with it. Besides that story never made sense anyways, OoT Link wears a hat because all the Kokiri wear the same hat. WW and TP Link are the only ones that wear a hat because the Hero of Time wore it.
>>342874230
But old man is all but confirmed to be the king.

They actually get direct footage for Nintendo games very regularly.
>>342874362
Gamexplain steals footage. They edit footage. And sometimes even flat out misrepresents footage.
>>342874485
King Link
>>342874485
Implying the old man isn't Zelda.
Hopefully this game will unify the three timelines.
>>342873607
>Gamexplain are rather scummy. I have a hard time believing companies would cooperate with them that easily.
Why is it so hard to believe?
Youtube channels and e-celebs have practically replaced the purpose of game journalists and sites as marketing and ad revenue now, and GameXplain does nothing but relentlessly shill for Nintendo on their channel. It makes perfect sense.
>>342874485
TFW he becomes a boat again to travel the ocean.
>>342874485
That and the presence of the Koroks who evolved specifically to suit the ecology of flooded Hyrule.
>>342874552
When have they "stolen" footage?
Of course they edit footage, so does everybody else.
When have they "misrepresented" footage, beyond their own borderline retarded trailer analysis, which is always admitted to be speculation.
>>342873678
>with that mountain that looks like a comet or crashing spaceship ripped a chunk out of it.
Yeah. I am definitely going there.

>>342874869
>When have they "misrepresented" footage
Just recently they recorded Bloodstained on the E3 floor. And then went "woops we couldn't get good sound, so we slapped onto this terrible sound ourselves!". Which they admittedly with a line in the video description, but it still sounds terrible and now tons of people think that's how the demo actually sounds.
And they have done this and things like it many times before.
I don't have any real beef with gamexplain but they do seem to do whatever is easy for them and don't seem to put that much care into their product.
>>342874869
Evolution is a meme even IRL anon. Just stop it.
>>342875123
you're dumb
>>342873021
But this LITERALLY can't be a thing because Link, Zelda, Ganon/dorf, and the Master Sword were not a thing until Skyward Sword.

They're just a shitty youtube channel, that gets some early Nintendo scoops.
Why would you put trust in their judgement or the quality of their work?
Clearly you were able to discern what was going on and are an informed consumer.
If you don't like them, then just don't watch.
This has to be the most boring gameplay ive ever seen
literally just walking around a shadow of the colossus empty world while occasionally fighting 2 or 3 goblins

It's just bothersome to see people link to gamexplain when gamexplain either gets things glaringly wrong or misrepresents stuff through their videos themselves. With people not realizing it.
And there is sadly far too many people who don't realize it. Even when disclaimer are provided.
It happens far too often. I mean, yeah, they essentially just another shitty youtube channel. But they have a surprisingly large audience so you'd wish or rather hope that they would step up their game and do some more thorough and polished work.
>>342873719
The fact that we can craft out own elixirs and potions makes me wonder if there'll even be bottles to find in BotW.
I hope there still are. Maybe at the end of shrines or something and they're like Shiekah magitech bottles or some shit.
>>342875412
That's what they want you to think, turns out they were always there, but became something less so they could become something more.

But they do terrible outside of their Sacred Grove.
>>342876509
nah that's stupid and doesn't make sense
he can wear a green hat whenever the fuck he wants, and there's literally no way the minish cap existing can mean otherwise

Actually if you look at the facing direction of the Temple of Time based on the maps we have, Kokiri Forest appears to be surrounded by a lake and water and chasms. They'd need to become Koroks in order to survive and fly.
>>342876123
That's the beautiful thing about youtube shit in comparison to professional work like gaming sites and the like.
You don't have to step up your shit, you can just be a lazy person with semi-competent editing skills and get thousands of views regardless.

Death mountain already had a hole in it there before in OOT. You had to climb up there.

It would make no sense for the old man to be the king seeing as how the this game takes place after zelda 2
>>342875774
As opposed to what?
>>342876686
Minish Cap outright showed you that the previous heroes didn't have the cap. And by the end of it Link became famous with Ezlo and the cap became tradition.

There is still a Zelda, two actually by that point. That doesn't mean they can't have sons that inevitable end up as king. Hell they'd have to for Daphnes to be King and not Prince.

So are you guys going to bite the bullet and get the NX or play the shitty version on Wii U?
I guess I'll play on Wii U since I don't really want to buy a console at launch and I'm sure it'll have droughts just like Wii U did.
>>342875513
Sadly, your companion dreams have been dashed.

>>342877025
Or you know, the tradition from SS was lost to time, and as someone pointed out, the Hero of Time doesn't wear a cap because of MC Link, he wears it because of the Kokiri (who are not the Picori mind you). Then from there everyone just sort of wears it, WW/TP Link as that anon said directly thanks to the HoT, not MC Link.
>>342877276
Probably get the NX. I'm just hoping that Nintendo learned from most of their mistakes and we're getting a competent console this time around.
>>342877134
It's in the fucking Adult timeline.
There's fucking koroks.
What the fuck else do you need?
>>342874869
>>342875170
Yeah here we DO go motherfucker
>"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
EVERY FUCKING THREEAD
It's all unnecessary back and forth speculation of course, but if you want it to that quote can imply that they were Koroks before "taking on human forms"
And just to get it out of the way a little early, no the ancient sea salt you can find doesn't have to mean this is after WW. There was an ocean in the distant past of SS in Lanayru before it became a desert
>>342877250
It was the only thing in the game that i didn't like.
>>342877473
It's in the Downfall and Child Timeline.
There's fucking Sheikah.
What the fuck else do you need?
Koroks denote a change in geography for the Kokiri, it is not Great Sea dependent. Besides Kokiri forest is underwater in BotW anyways.
>>342874913
I think it's pretty obvious what happened there
>>342875513
>>342876705
I'm hoping for deeper combat and more difficult enemies. Hopefully we get sword techniques ala TP but only useful this time, with enemies that force you to actually git gud. And not just techniques for swords but your other weapons as well. I'm hoping you get some badass fist weapons as well.
In addition, I hope there's a sizable water-based area that forces us to use a boat, as a homage to WW and that one bit in SS. I want open-world sailing done right.
I want timeshift stones to return, since that shit was awesome.
I want towns to be massive and lively, with each town to have its own distinctive culture and 'feel'. I want good music in these towns to set the mood too and I want good music period.
I NEED several good humanoid one-on-one boss fights that really take advantage of the improved combat.
Plot-wise, I want the time loop theory to be confirmed true, with the game being set simultaneously at the end of the convergence of all timelines and before SS, with you playing as Hylia's champion. I want them to go full meta on it, make the game's narrative some kind of commentary or analysis about the relationship between the devs and the player or the player and the series. Some really cool, crazy shit like that.
Not green-text but who gives a fuck?
>>342863117
>hopes
Flanged maces.
More mounts than just horses.
Weapon and armour upgrades.
Dyes for armour and cloth.
Whetstones so you can repair weapons on the fly.
Barber shops to change hair styles, colour, and maybe even facial hair.
Wildlife have a random chance to be possessed by Calamity Ganon, increasing the stats and speed.
Some bosses break out of the dungeons and you have to fight them in the overworld.

>>342877704
>Cutscenes are voice acted and it's not just the voice from the shieka slate.
Also on that note, I fucking HOPE the voice acting in this game isn't shit.
Like, for fuck's sakes Nintendo, get some decent VAs for this shit. Get some notable ones and if they're not huge, then get some new, qualified VAs that are comparable to the big names.
I don't want them to skip out on the voice acting. It'd be fucking embarrassing if this game, their big return to form for the Zelda series, had shit-tier voice acting. Like, come on. If Platinum can get actual voice actors for W101, then you get do the same for BotW.
>>342877901
How would you know? Maybe you just never run into them. I mean, you never actually enter the Kokiri Forest. The Lost Woods aren't the same thing.
>>342877276
I know the Wii U isn't popular but it's unironically my favourite console of the generation.
I bought my Wii U very late, but I am very prepared to buy an NX at launch. It has to be a really poor deal for me to reconsider.
The Wii U not only strengthened my faith in Nintendo, but also strengthened my faith in the Wii after I had essentially dropped the Wii due to all the awful shovelware.
The Wii really did get dozens of gems in the latter half of its lifespan and I missed almost all of them. But I have since played most of them on the Wii U, and I've also gotten almost every Wii U exclusive and loved those games too.
Not to mention the multiplats that are actually better on the Wii U thanks to the gamepad.
The Wii U may not have been a success. But it's a really solid console. If Zelda is in any way better on the NX I'll likely pick one up at launch and then just see what comes to the NX later. And unless the NX somehow ends up not even managing to match up to half of what the Wii U was, then I'll likely be happy with it.
>>342876705
Gardening and stable keeps are definitely logical extensions I could see happening, what with stuff like fruits, vegetables, and wild game already abundant in the overworld.
>>342877473

>SS Goddess statue instead the Temple of Time

Nah, this shit is very wishy-washy.
the only important hope/dream is a Fist Ring. i want to beat the shit out of ganon using my fists
>>342878057
Nintendo actually got the VAs for W101. Platinum programmed the gameplay, Nintendo did everything else.
>>342878057
Zelda's voice actress is pretty lame.
>>342877994
Guess whose in the child timeline nigga.
Koroks and the Sheikah don't mean shit to where it fits in the timeline. We need concrete proof and right now the Temple of Time is our only proof. Hyrule Castle was built over it in the Adult Timeline, it no longer exists. It fell to ruin some time in between OoT and ALttP in Downfall and sometime in between MM and TP in Child.
>>342878057
Anon Aonuma already confirmed voice acting will be used sparingly, there's going to be very few voiced lines in the entire game, time to let go.
>>342878076
Because it's implied they were the Pirates of the Forsaken Fortress, who are no long around and are dead.
Also you do enter the Kokiri Forest, the Forbidden Woods is the Kokiri Forest.
>>342878276
I like it. But at the same time, who says it's Zelda? It could be Impa, speaking to you through the Sheika Slate to get you to Zelda to protect her, like the royal babysitter she is.
>>342878251
True, but I'd assume Platinum had at least some influence, since all of their games have quality voice acting and a Nintendo game actually having quality voice tracks is pretty damn rare.
>>342878276
She sounded so emotionless in the trailer. Hopefully they fix that shit in the final release.
>>342878351
Even if it's used sparingly, it could still have a lot of impact if it's done really well.That's how I'd want a Metroid game to be done as well.
>>342877559
Reminder that there is no evolution in Zelda.it doesn't even exist IRL, it's all a meme

I found no real issue with her voice.
>>342878276
It's better than her moeblob Japanese variation, at least.
My only real concern with it is that it sounds too old and deep for Zelda.
>>342878542
There are sea water Zora as evident in the Downfall Timeline, it's likely they were transformed so they couldn't get to Hyrule.

Oh fuck off you moefag.
That voice sounds just fine for something like OoT Zelda, TP Zelda, or even her SS version. I mean, if we're talking about voice types.
>>342878531
>t could still have a lot of impact if it's done really well.
Yeah, actually that was among his intentions, same with the overworld music Aonuma said a few bits of voice acting here and there for important scenes could strike well.
>>342878940Is that british?
>>342878542

>>342878626
Not enough food., as in no food.
>>342878884
Seems to be two evolutionary paths or factions.
There are good ones in...Oracle of Ages I believe? And good ones in ALBW as well. Likely some were corrupted by Ganon or took to magic/fireballs and trying to usurp the Triforce themselves. Hyrule does have a bloody history of greed and hatred.
>>342879030It sounded Scottish to me
>>342878884
Presumably, shit went really bad when Link failed.
>>342874114
Technically it's possible for them to record 2 versions of whatever lines mention the player, one where they say "Link," and one where they don't. But Nintendo's probably too cheap for that.
>>342878973
Not him, but it doesn't sound like I imagine TP Zelda to sound, the rest sure. TP Zelda, definitely not though.

>>342879478
Yep Queen...Oren? She was one of the Sages, which is an entirely different story all together.
>OoT Sages=1 Sheikah, 1 Gerudo, 1 Kokiri, 1 Goron, 1 Zora, 2 Hylians
>ALttP Sages=7 Hylians
>ALBW Sages=5 Hylians, 1 Zora, 1 Hylian/Goron Hybrid
>ALttP are descendants of OoT Sages
>ALBW is only like 2-3 generations at most from ALttP and are descendants of ALttP Sages
That means that at some point a new Gerudo male was born and didn't breed with the Gerudo and bred with Hylians who eventually diluted the Gerudo gene.

thats just the demo, which doesnt have anything in it other than a few shrines and goblins. its to demonstrate the game mechanics, thats all
>>342878663
I think because it's missing in Wind Waker, and you go under the castle under the Link statue to find the Master Sword in it's pedestal

>>342880809
seals and shit
>>342880792
Those special effects look sharp as fuck.
>>342880614
doesn't really mean the temple of time was destroyed
Time to play the oracle games for the first time. Which one is considered to be better?
>>342881168
ages
>>342881168
neither one is better than the other. ages is more puzzly and seasons is more actiony. play them both and form your own opinion like a normal person
>>342878663
>Both have the same arched grating
>OoT ToT has it as well
>OoT ToT also has the same window on the outside of the Temple of Time looking inward as you enter
>All 3 contain the Triforce Symbol on the floor and the Master Sword (well with the exception of TP, it's still there just in ruins)
>Hyrule Castle was destroyed in the Adult Timeline and had to be rebuilt
>The road to Ganon's Tower in WW has the same tree you talked to the owl in OoT and a very similarly leading path up the hill/road
Pretty obvious, especially with the fact that the Tower of Gods works incredibly similarly to the Temple of Time in TP and the Tower of Gods/Hyrule Castle is virtually in the right spot to be near Death Mountain/Dragon Roost and Kokiri Forest/Forbidden Woods.

>>342881316
Oh a pic of that window and archway too.
>>342881307
I find Seasons far more annoying due to the 4 season switching constantly compared to Ages just two switches.
>>342880792
Jesus, this, the two handed weapons and the fire rod has me way too hyped.
it's going to be SO DISAPOINTING
>>342877147
is this Zero 3?
>>342877669
Please define deeper combat. Not being hostile but I legit don't know what people mean when they say this.
I want more magic
Let me be more magic link
>>342881951
Does fighting Wizzrobes in the forest as you shoot fire at each other and it burns down magically enough for you?
>>342882078
I need more
>>342877776
Koroks are just another form of the kokiri, its not dependent on a flood
>>342881826
i think they mean combat that isn't mash B until you win
>>342881951
The Fire Rod is looking to be a step in the right direction.
Speaking of class builds, I wonder if thief Link can be a thing as well, now that sneaking and stealth has been confirmed.
>>342882385

oh no... it begins

Only way I'll play Wii U is if I can use hacks to make it harder, like if hero mode is locked from the start
>>342881058
Well it does seem to imply that the basement of the Castle where you find the Master Sword in it's pedestal is what's left of the Temple of Time.
>>342882597
limit yourself to make it harder. play naked link with a stick and dont pick up anything
>>342882759
not sure it implies that either
mastersword doesn't have to be in any specific place
>>342882893
It has to correlate to a temple.
>>342882829
I've never liked doing that (or 3 heart runs), I want to explore and find treasures because I actually need them.
>>342882597
Some enemies are already taking off like 6-7 hearts a hit, how much more harder do you need it anon? The game doesn't need to be AoL levels.
>>342882893
Except it does. The Master Sword chooses who can pull it from the Pedestal it rests in, it has a will of it's own. In fact so far it's always been located in a Temple outside of a few instances.
>WW, ALttP, ALBW, OoA/S, FSA
Historia confirms that ALttP and ALBW that there used to be a Temple there, likely the Temple of Time. OoA/S and FSA are non-canon as you just get the Master Sword from upgrading the Noble Sword and Four Sword, both of which aren't the true Master Sword.
So that leaves WW as the only occurrence of it not being in the Temple of Time, barring obviously SS where it would later come to rest in the Sealed Temple/Temple of Time. Considering the general layout of the castle and the fact that if you look up, it has the same shape as the Temple of Time, it's safe to assume it was once the Temple of Time.
>>342883047
nah
>>342883391
no you dont
>>342882893
It doesn't have to be, but between the choices of a new pedestal to house the sword was built under the castle, or the castle was simply built over the top of the old pedestal, I just go with the latter.
I hope the final game has INVERTED CONTROLS for the camera!
>>342877276
I'll buy a physical Wii U copy so that way I'll be able to get most of my money back if I decide to sell it and get an NX.
>>342884025
Disgusting
>>342884025
i hope left and right are inverted but not up and down
>>342883404
>Some enemies are already taking off like 6-7 hearts a hit, how much more harder do you need it anon?
Only for attacks that are extremely easy to dodge. Regular attacks in the demo were only doing quarter hearts when wearing the regular hylian shirt/trousers. Besides I wanna wear sweet armor and look super fly.
>>342883556
yes I do nerd
>>342884212
Those are also all beginning enemies. Besides would you rather ever enemy be doing like 1 heart at most like recent Zeldas have been, even if it's extremely easy to dodge?
No, you wouldn't, in the off-chance you do get hit, you're either dead or barely living.
>>342884212
The blue bokoblins did alot of damage.
>>342869246
reminds me of that MM moontear fall thingy
>>342884907
As always.
>>342884624
It should at least be as difficult as The Legend of Zelda.
Anyone have screens of the ruined Castle Town gate and Market from OOT?
I've only seen good shots of them in one video, I figured there'd be more fan wankery over that than just the Temple of Time.
>>342885190
I mean, they're kind of there.
>>342884624
I just want more attacks to do more damage in general (at least in hero mode). Especially considering how generous the healing system is.
>>342873167
I hope it's not going to be nothing but ambient piano, at the very least.
>>342884907
I was gonna say, it looked like they did at least 3 full hearts per swing. Every time a journalist was fighting one I was waiting for them to die.
But any intelligent player will gather a few mushrooms and meats and boost their hearts up anyway. Though I prefer the threat of an instant death so early on.
>>342873719
I want the Hookshot to work like Batman's grapple gun and bat claw from the Arkham games.
>pull yourself up any mountain side, or at least get a good head start on the climb upward

>BoTW will probably explain the Heroe's clothes once again
>>342874485
Still holding out on him being Ganondorf.
But knowing Nintendo, it'll probably end up being the owl.But we won't actually learn that until an interview years later
>>342886268
Makes me wonder if they'll do puzzles based off of water and light reflections now.
>>342875513
>>npc interaction like what was intended for oot
What do you mean?
The NPC's with all the gossip and urban legend telling were my favorite thing about ocarina of time.
What were they going to do differently?
Let's talk some core gameplay mechanics.
Assuming the demo actually just fluffed bottles for gameplay purposes, and that you'll have to actually have available bottles in order to cook elixirs and stuff.
Would bottles being required be a positive or a negative?
>>342886268
>Not noticing the constant frame rate under all those reflections
>>342876705
>>fishing akin to TP and OoT's fishing, but anywhere and everywhere
Fishing was so pointless in TP. Breath of the Wild would be ideal to bring it back since you could actually eat the fish.
>>342877134
It at the very least has to be after Ocarina of Time with the ruined Temple of Time and Market Place.
>>342887570
what
>>342877276
I'll get NX most likely.
Don't know how good it's future library will be, but it'll probably have Smash Bros and a few other 1st party staples, and that's enough for me.
The only reason I could see myself getting the Wii U version is if they released it several months earlier than the NX version, and my impatience will get the better of me.
>>342887824
fishing was relaxing in TP, you could do it for hours and forget all of life's worries
>>342877669
>Zelda by Hayo Miyazaki
Isn't Zelda literally everything Miyazaki hates?
>Video game
>Good Vs. Evil
>Male protagonist
>>342887485
It would be too much of a pain if bottles are reqired to make elixirs, as the cooking is farily experimental,so you could unexpectedly make an one and not have a bottle for it. There's a limited number of food slots anyway, which would be enough of a limit.
I'm a bit worried about being able to stock a ridiculous number of food and cheese the game.
>>342888421
Speedrunners use that glitch but that guy fucked up
>>342886772
Me too. Only because it would be a neat story element for him to have separated from his cursed Ganon self and is now trying to help destroy it. It would also be cool if the Old Man had always been human Ganondorf
>>342884025
Is there a reason that wouldn't be an option? I can't play without inverted.
>>342874485
>>342878626
The Zoras didn't evolve, they were changed by the gods, because nobody was supposed to know about the existence of sunken Hyrule.

>>342878940
Didn't you know? "Medieval" fantasy only has two dialects.
>>342888831
You could do that in past zelda games. Just go to a faoru fountain stock your bottles with faries and you're all set.
At least here you have to go out of your way to scavenge for food and I dont think a couple of mushrooms and a steak is gonna do it later. If you really want to challenge yourself you can just skip the starter enemies and venture to the great beyond where everything will one shot you. Eitherway this will probably be the hardest 3d zelda game, though zelda has never really been about difficulty.
>>342889169
DELETE THIS
>>342890073
Seriously why do you want to bum me out that much
>>342881469
Now I'm just convinced that this was meant to be the Temple of time in the game, but was changed to Hyrule Castle at the last minute, or at whatever point in the game that they decided to not have Link age, as was shown in the concept art.
>>342881469
I wish they'd stop using arches.
The Hylians seem like the kind of people to use more rigid architecture.
>>342889778
I am down for all of this.
I think this is going to be another TP in terms of reception honestly, it'll garner relevancy for the Zelda series again, but people are hyping it way too much to the point where they'll be severely disappointed.
Regardless, this game doesn't fee like Zelda to me, it feels soulless, like all other Zelda games since TP.
And Link is so effeminate they might as well give him gay options if they ever bring up that scrapped OoT romance concept after again.
People need to accept that we'll never get another revolutionary game-changer like the OoT, MM, ALtTP or the original LoZ ever again. We could've if nintendo attempted the open-world genre last gen, but not anymore. And we'll be lucky enough to get even great or good games with the current shit Zelda team composed of Aonuma, Fujibayashi and their neo-Nintendo mentalities.
>>342890426
Yep, look at the window above the arch in the Hyrule Castle of Time and the arch between the two itself, now look at OoT's Temple of Time.
Also Hyrule Castle has a very similar structure going up to the top of the ceiling that the ToT does as well.
>>342890580
Homies love their arches man.
Is this going to be like TPP where you play as Punished Link and the final boss will be real Link?
>>342891228
You'd like that wouldn't you upstart, to paint me as the villain and not the hero.
>>342891102
Not all the time, here look
>>342887570
What happened to that Webm
>>342891518
To be fair that's Gerudo, Twili/Sheikah, and Goron, not Hylian.
>tfw no ocarina remake built in the TP engine
>>342891646
yeah but they still had Hylian hands in the construction.
>all you nigtendo fags sperging over interactive fire
Farcry 2 did it 8 years ago
>>342891802
Fair, I guess the arches are just a product of the times mostly.
Since you posted TP Castle, I posted this last thread. Anybody have any idea what these are?
>>342888910
>it would be a neat story element for him to have separated from his cursed Ganon self and is now trying to help destroy it
More like try to get it back so he can be young and powerful again.
Not like Ganon's a stranger to being in two places at once.
>creates his alter ego aganihm and puppets him from inside the dark realm, breaking the seal on his own
Can someone post the webm of calamity ganon pls
>>342876608
Better than kokiri do outside of lost woods
>>342891814
Then why is it so hard to come by now?
>>342889567
Is that Spectacle rock?
Does that mean we can bomb it open and find the entrance to death?
>>342891968
They might have been in the game as a puzzle and removed later.
I think there's been a lot of that in the last three console Zelda's.
>>342891067
Well with a cynical attitude like that its hard not to.be disappointed? Also what makes it soulless? Are you saying the developers aren't putting any effort into the game?
>>342891067
>ohhh look at my post

>>342892087

oh shit
>>342892352
Hey whoa we got a badass over here guys
>>342863343
just finished watching castle in the sky for the first time in forever. what if its an over grown city in the sky that you can explore, even a dungeon? Everyones always comparing BotW to Mononoke, but lok at the inside of Laputa compared to the shrines and the guardians. And I also thought about the similarity in the arms of the robots and the guardians as well, long multijointed and tendril like.
>>342892131
Well based on Death Mountain's location, it would roughly match up with it, but who knows.
>>342892164
Possible, I was trying to see if there were more but the Throne/Boss Room obstructs whatever else is around it. They're pretty damn far away and to my knowledge you can't see them anywhere else in the game but those stairs right before the final boss.
Did a rather extensive rundown of TP last night in some of the threads, still can't figure out what those are or where they're supposed to be, since I have no map access in the Dungeon.
>>342892131
Nothing in that picture jumps out at me as being spectacle rock. In OOT, it was inside death mountain crater, so it wasn't even visible without being in the volcano.
>>342891802
Man the TP castle looked like ass.
Once concern I have for this game, is the story. At E3, they said you learn about the story by exploring the world. That great for your first playthrough, but once you know the story and go for another playthrough, what's the point of exploring, since you can just go straight to the final boss?
