>>342968738
100% is going to be hard work. There's going to be guides from week 1
>>342968895
They should keep this new style it's the best of both worlds
>>342969049
It's not bad, but I prefer Skyward Swords visual style better.
I think a lot of what turns me off on this one, is that the WiiU doesn't have the power to push a lot of junk on screen in an open world, and that weakens the visuals as a whole.
>>342968121
>Link is now right-handed because you press the action button with the right hand
Bravo Aonuma, it's not like the buttons have been on the right hand side since the NES or anything
Calling it now you unlock the Green Tunic through the regular Link amiibo
>>342969192
This game would've been a lot different if it wasn't also being released on NX. They clearly pushed the graphics further and possibly beyond what the Wii U can handle but they also stripped out all the gamepad functionality. If NX can't handle the full demands and more of BotW then it's a dead on arrival system
>>342969457
Nope
>>342969851
NX isn't going to be any more powerful.

So there's different classifications of weapons based upon their origin and attack power. So far we've seen Boku, Travellers, Soldiers and I believe they spoilt Hero's by mistake/intentionally in a video interview
>>342971641
I saw another video and it looks like that could be the case, but in said video, a Boko Bow sparkled more than the other items. You could get a weapon with a rare skill.
>>342971641
That's like spoiling the Hylian Shield, you just know there is one.
>>342970413
The sheikah slate was based on the Gamepad you mongrel
>>342972204
So you reckon there'll be a Hero's version of every item. Axe, Hammer, Sword, Spear, Tunic, pants etc etc or will some of those have the classic names like the Hylian Shield, the Master Sword being the hero Sword etc etc
>>342972723
At the very least I expect Hero versions of classic items, perhaps spears and other less common ones get something like Sheikah X or Race Y names.
this game has some of the sexiest particle effects I've ever seen
I like the stealth aspects and picking up enemy items but it makes Link seem ever so slightly villainous when he raids a camp kills everyone, steals their stuff and takes their food
>>342973335

Its obviously in the downfall timeline way too many things are pointing towards it.
>>342974976
Link a best! A BEST!
>>342977205
>>342968608
See this dude here? This is the same Deku Tree you meet in Wind Waker. This sprout exists in every timeline, which means that the Deku Tree does also, which means that the Koroks exist in every timeline too.
>>342979401
koroks are specifically the tree looking guys, the kokiri are the ones that look like children which are the ones that evolved into koroks because of the flood, their plant forms makes them lighter to travel easier through the great sea and they only eist in the adult timeline for the same reason.
the deku tree existing is irrelevant
THIS CANNOT BE IN THE ADULT TIME LINE, I REPEAT THIS CANNOT BE IN THE ADULT TIME LINE:
>The Temple of time exist, in WW it doesnt, because after OoT the Hyrule castle was built ON the Temple of time
>The King wished to Hyrule to be flooded and wanted a new future for the Children.
>The Koroks can exist in anytime line, Koroks are the natural form of the Kokiri. They did not evolve, they just changed. Also, in TP HD there was a texture that was added implying that the Ruto existed before TP, disproving that WW has exclusive races.
>Hyrule was instantly flooded after ganon attacked the castle, that's because the guards are frozen in time when WW link arrives, so this cannot be before. In Botw ganon was in the castle for 100 years.
>>342980686
>>The Temple of time exist, in WW it doesnt, because after OoT the Hyrule castle was built ON the Temple of time
where does it say that?
>>342978907
I am so beyond happy that this works.
>>342981085
For the ToT, check gameplay videos, the ToT is literally there.
In WW, the Hyrule castle was built ON the temple of time because, the master sword is IN the Hyrule Castle. They needed to rebuild the castle because ganon destroyed it in the Adult Timeline, so they built the Castle over the temple of time to honor the Hero of time
>>342978907
FUCK YEEEEAH IM SO EXCITED FOR SPEEDRUN FUCKERY
>>342980686
Nigga, who gives a fuck?
So about all those skull shaped caves...
Do the bokoblin just like to carve skulls into things, or did a bunch of really huge guys die and leave skulls behind?
>>342983940
probably the first thing.
What do you guys think the towns and NPCs will be like?
>>342984527
External streets like TP, internal shops like SS.
>>342984527
I hope they feel alive. They've been alright with making towns feel alive before, but I'm worried since it'll be so big and so many in this one it'll be harder.
I'm not worried about NPCs, all I want is one.
>>342984815
old man seems pretty animated, whether he's the king or ganondorf or not. i have a feeling the characters are going to be great in this game and garner a lot of fanart.
>>342968121
Watching around the 16+ minute mark. He tries to cross the ravine on a log, but the log falls. I feel slightly dismayed that the ravine was an automatic bottomless pit, rather than just something physically deep. Hard to feel like an explorer, if there are zones that are programmed to be automatic death.
>>342985080
I need HD Malon lookalike milk jugs so much
>>342985158
lots of shit kills you dude. falling from anywhere high enough kills you. ice water kills you. it's part of the game. there have always been endless voids. i am not going to complain about something that wasn't changed. we've already seen that the game is fucking large. stop looking for the absolute tiniest reasons to try to say that the entire game is somehow not worth it. your opinion is lame and petty.
>>342985397
chill
>>342985524
The endless voids are the opposite of being able to explore. If the game is about exploration, than it should be about exploration. They could have just as easily let Link plummet to a literal floor, and at least it would not have been an automatic zone.
>>342985856
tiny insignificant opinion, who cares, you're right i guess, but who fucking cares that much? you're still going to get the game. stop trying to use tiny ass superficial complaints to try to say the game is bad.
>>342986448
Who said the game was bad?
>>342972723
>mfw dropping Hero's Master Sword
>>342985856
No, that sounds like terrible design.
Games are still games, bottomless pits to auto-kill the player are much better than deep empty ravines for the sake of it. What if the players gets stuck down there? It would just be boring and frustrating,
>>342986948
The resurrection chamber will be able to warp the sword to you or something. I am sure you'll be able to retrieve it easily.
>>342968121
That is a Troy-level bullshit bow.
>>342986448
It's silly to have bottomless pits in an open world with an ocean you can visit.
>>342987340
I meant dropping it from a mob or getting it from a chest.
>>342987273
This is a game that includes a hand glider. And how is it more frustrating for you to fall to a floor than to instantly die, when getting across is the exact same task?
>>342987446
I expect it'll be a story/dungeon quest unlock with a great deal of ceremony. I think you might get drops of the Hylian Shield and Hero's bow and I can see the Tunic and pants being in a chest in a shrine but not in the Wild
I would not be surprised at all, if Link ends up receiving the Master Sword from the old man. Complete some percent of the game, meet him again, and he hands you this old magical sword, because it's dangerous to go alone.
>>342987873
Whoosh
>>342988121

Stamina, Hearts and Runes can be upgraded in later shrines and we'll get at least one waifu in Zelda probably at least another. NPC are confirmed to give quests in an interview.
With teleportation, gliding and horse riding flying is unnecessary and would shrink the world.
I don't want another realm there's than enough room on the map for everything to happen in the regular realm and time.
You altered the entire map by unlocking the first Tower. I can't imagine that's the only instance of that happening in the entire game

Could take place fucking anywhere and nowhere, fampai.
I wish Link could fight with his bare hands and feet if he doesn't have any available weapons. I wanna see how Link fights without weapons.
>>342991718
um that's wrong tho?
>>342992412
That kind of goes against Link strengths, I always seen him as a resourceful fighter that relies on his arsenal, hand to hand combat would be weird for him unless it's something like judoor sumo.
>>342993097
>>342992412
Yeah I too kind of wish he would at the very least have something even without weapons, even if it would suck. The very notion of having to retreat if you run out of weapons is kind of sad.
Then again you appear to acquire magic early and you don't quite seem to run out of magic.
>>342992290
Personally, I think that it's a "post" storyline that takes place after all of the games and/or any of them.
Kind of like what Gundam did with Turn-A, where everything is canon but none of it really matters.
>>342992412

New gameplay from an actually competent Nintendo employee. New areas of the Plateau briefly explored
I'm really excited for the gameplay but I'm a little disappointed with the graphics. Link looks great, but the environments feel lackluster...It's pretty noticeable in the forest areas. The trees are copy+pasted and the textures are sort of muddy in some places.
>>342995719
Hopefully it's polished by release but if not it's not pre-order cancelled but rather wait for objective reviews before buying
>>342995719
Also, is it going to be this quiet in the final game? Because I like it. It's nice just hearing the sound effects when you're rooting around in the forest and stuff.
>>342979401
>This sprout exists in every timeline
Downfall Timeline proves you wrong
>>342994772
These were one of the best things of Majora's Mask.
>>342996076

>>342994772

>>342997583
They're a few sites that aren't hating for the sake of it or slurping on some Nintendo dong. Tey may not be perfect but I can usually read between the lines and know whether it'll be to my liking or not
I noticed that the Traveler's Sword never seems to break. Is it unbreakable for the demo?
Hyrule warriors worth it?
>>342994143
>Tri Force of Courage
>Pussy
>>342984815

>>342995662
It's interesting to note that once again they say that 'in this demo right now you can't roll', rather than saying there's no rolling at all.
So I guess rolling is something you'll be able to do later in the game, but how would that even work? Would it be a rune you get or what?
>>342998208
every weapon breaks
>>342996461
Where do any of those games say that the tree is not there?
>>342998208
There may be some rule you can follow to make things last as long as possible. Hitting shields and trees may damage the sword, while stabbing flesh maybe not so much.
>>342998773
maybe something like Zelda 2's skills??
>>342998837
Well, do you see any of them mentioning Deku Tree (not a tree, mind you)?
>>342998773
Goron Mask
>>342999150
There are a lot of characters that they don't talk about. Until you actually prove he is gone, his existence was established in OOT.
>>342999150
You don't see them, but you neither see rutos in TP HD, but hey, there are drawings of them near the Temple Of Time,and there are paintings of Koroks in ALBW. (The paintings may be a easter egg).
Also, is implied that Link was defeated when fighting ganondorf, so he beated all the temples
I wonder if you can Tao Pai Pai your way across the map with this.
>>343000016
The landing may be the hard part.
>>343000016
See >>342978907
I think it may be more likely than we think.
It will probably mean insane things for speedrunning.
So at what point/event can we expect Nintendo to finally unveil the NX?
And when do you think they'll release the second Breath of the Wild trailer?
>>343001568
I would guess BotW around mid November. They might sell some game machines for Christmas that way. NX is scheduled for next year, so I don't expect extra info until after Christmas this year, because they are still selling WiiU.
>>342978907
Hot damn.
Question: After this releases, should they make a sequel with the same engine, akin to Majora? It'd be a shame to waste it on just one game.
>>342974976
Well, Nintendo did it first...
>>342970413
Why is Link playing Wii U?
>>343002603
As much time as it probably took to just make Hyrule, I would not be shocked if there were more games on the same landscape.
Let's place some bets. In the next trailer for BotW.
Will Zelda be shown?
Yes / No
If she is, will she at any point smile?
Yes / No
Will it show a town with NPCs?
Yes / No
If so, will they show several?
Yes / No
Will the trailer focus on the world, characters, and or plot of the game?
Yes / No
Or will it (instead or also) focus on a new item/ability of Link's?
Yes / No
Will the trailer devote focus on a non-Zelda/Ganon/Link character?
Yes / No
If so will this character be a friend or foe?
Yes / No
And will it be male or female?
Male / Female
>>343003357
>No
>No
>Maybe
>If above is yes, then also Yes.
>Yes
>No
>No
>>343003357
>friend or foe?
>Yes
So how will our old friend show up in this game? He's either been or appeared in every 3D game except SS, and with the way things are shaping up I can;t imagine he'd be left out of the fun.
>>343003357
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
Some screens of a few boss fights. Some shots of hand-gliding, some shots of Link overlooking the countryside.
No

I want NX fags to die slowly and painfully
>>343003648
The final boss.
>>342971641
So link was younger in those clothes? Defeated ww link confirmed?
I think the question that really needs to be answered is willTingle be featured or referencedin the game?
>>343003648
I don't want him back. I honestly want them to give it a rest with him already. I get that Ocarina of Time was a very popular game but there's no need to shoehorn him into every game they can.

anons, I finished for the most part my trek through WW again, still compiling everything of note between it and TP to try and hopefully find something to help us correlate to BotW, but also doing Zelda Lore in general.
Found some interesting things. I'll let you guys decide one way or the other on something such as the Sand Goddess pictured. Most of it is just conjecture and theory, but interesting nonetheless.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoOfRqw7hzk
This theory could be worth giving a watch.
>>342972154
There's weapons with a diamond symbol on them that are more durable than other variants of the same weapons.
>>343008129
The Master Sword also has a diamond on it.
>>343008129
I saw the diamond, actually. If this game doesn't give you rare drops similar to Diablo, a sequel could do just that. Do we know how many weapons we'll get to use? What weapons have we yet to use in Zelda? I could go for a war mace the Stalfos in WW use.
>>343008129
>>343008309
Diamonds, you say?
>>343007076
Medli!~
>>343008829
We'll make diamonds from Fi's ashes. The Master Sword shall live on, my legend will live on.
>>342973335
>>342973593
Never go nuclear.
>>343009007
Yep, I was surprised to see her and Makar still in the temples. I had never went back and actually checked, mostly because there isn't really a need. I wonder if they have to stay there forever playing so the Master Sword keeps it's powers. Kind of a shit deal when the other Sages seemed to be able to continue to live their lives and have descendants. Then again, their descendants of the original Earth/Wind Sages too.
Makes you wonder if they aren't descendants of Saria and Ruto themselves.
>>343009286
I feel like I remember they were waiting for Link and Tetra on the ship when they get rescued at the end.
>>343009286
How tf are Kokiri supposed to have descendants. How the fuck they supposed to have kids, they ARE kids.
>>343009538
When a mommy kokiri and a daddy kokiri love each other very much, they share a special hug.
>>343009032
We are Diamond Dodongos.
>>343009442
You might be right, I honestly don't remember.
>>343009538
Well technically they're just Forest Sprites that take the form of whatever. I assume in this case they work similar to the Kikwi or other trees and flowers. They produce a seedling and that seedling becomes a new Kokiri/Korok/etc.
If I recall the Great Deku Tree mentioned something about creating them as well, so maybe the Great Deku Tree bases certain new children of the forest off other ones and that is to be considered a descendant. Hell maybe they can just mate and interbreed, every other race seems to be able to, even Goron and Zora. I mean it's not far off to think the Hero of Time and her would have gotten together had she not been a Sage and him not being hurled through time on the whims of a Princess.
Do you think the Master Sword will be able to shoot projectiles, or will we just have a spin attack?
>>343010645
It's not going to have anything because it will break after one use

I imagine so. Wolf Link was probably just easy to add in because it's an already existing feature and just something neat for you to do with the Amiibo.
>>343012009
Meanwhile TP Zelda is surrounded by weaklings and cowards and the two strongest warriors, Ashe's father and the Hero of Time are fucking dead.

>>343012890
Well maybe they'll add something in the 9 months before the game releases. I recall that they were actually taking suggestions at the Nintendo NY event.
It's going to feel weird starting with 3 hearts, and immediately spawning a wolf with 20 hearts of its own.
>>343008829
Fuck off
>>343013272
That's reason enough to hope, I guess. Plus maybe by companions they meant a 'main' character, instead of an animal.

>>342968608
cuck
>>343010645
You break the Master Sword.
Fi comes out all WTF DID YOU DO?!
She's also broken in half.
Can I ask some of you guys why you seem to spend so much time figuring out timeline placement and all that? Nintendo has made it pretty clear they don't put much thought or effort into the stories in Zelda games. The timeline itself was probably just thrown together by some intern.
>>343015074
I kinda assumed she lives in the little diamond on the side, rather than being spread throughout.
>>343016273
Fun
>>343016273
I honestly don't value the timelines much. But it's still somewhat fun to dig through the games because Nintendo have still been quite good at referencing and placing homages to their other games.
And we have seen them expand on themes first introduced in other games before so they may very well do it again.
>>342968121
wtf you just find all that lying on a log? what the fuck happened to video games?
>>343017057
You don't have to take them, you seem to have a lot of options on what you can do in this game and they're just giving you them.
>>343017057
It's a DEMO you fucking mongoloid. The items are there to give players playing the demo a chance to experiment with different types of weapons.
>>343016354
she doesn't 'live' anywhere, her body is just a projection of the sword itself to translate for the goddess and tell Link where to go in SS
>>343018457
If she is technology, it means that there is physical circuitry somewhere.
>>343016273
I don't disagree with you. They don't think much on the timelines. They do however seem to be thinking about it as far as the 3D games go and move forward. The 2D games (a lot are older) are a little more placed oddly.
I personally think the timeline makes sense, but yeah it's not perfect. It's just interesting to enjoy the lore (even if it's just stuff thrown together usually) and everything about Zelda. Same with any other series I enjoy, MGS, SH, DMC, etc.

Fi is "dead". SS clearly states this at the end when you trap Demise's soul in the Master Sword. His evil spirit will dissipate over time but so will Fi's consciousness. By the Time OoT rolls around the Master Sword is just a sword.

Well technically she's not dead by the point just sleeping, but you are correct, she will dissipate eventually.
The Master Sword still has a will of it's own up to a certain point, so she's still at least somewhat consciously existing despite being asleep and hasn't faded yet.
>>343019329
That'd be cool, as long as we can separate the helmet from it, I never liked the helmet personally.
Really should have 6 slots, Helm, Pauldrons, Chest, Gauntlets, Legs, Boots.
>>343016273
I don't think Nintendo originally gave two fucks about a timeline. They just wanted to make games. Having the games be unconnected to each other allowed them a lot more creative freedom.
But fans like the lore and try to find a logic somewhere in the placement of the games within a larger story.
Nintendo scratched their heads but didn't try to discourage it - timeline theorists are often hardcore fans after all.
With newer releases, Nintendo have made more efforts to hint at a structured timeline for fans to openly discuss but the games can also still be viewed as completely unconnected.

The timeline has always been pretty fluid. Aonuma's said that there's always been a timeline, but it's not as if they're trying hard to stick to it. They're frequently willing to change things around to suit their needs at any time. Even the timeline in Hyrule Historia isn't completely set in stone and they can throw it all out the window at any time if they feel like it.

Of course, hardcore timeline theorists go apeshit at the mere suggestion that this series wasn't meticulously planned out.
>>343020270
That means in the Downfall Timeline that either one of two things happened.
1. Skull Kid never journeyed through the Lost Woods and stole Majora's Mask from the Happy Mask Salesman because Ganon fucked Hyrule up prior to being Sealed.
2. Termina is gone in the Downfall Termina, destroyed by the Moon.

Personally, I don't think there was ever that much thought put into a timeline by Nintendo.
Early games just used cute references or recurring names as wink to the fans.
Of course they're going to say there was always a timeline - why insult your fans? It would like the time William Shatner told Star Trek fans to get a life.
Depending on what day of the week it was, Miyamoto would change his stance on the order of the games. It simply didn't matte that much to them. Which is why the official timeline is a fucking convoluted mess.
>>343020447

This was their mindset when writing/making every game. Only FS, TMC, FSA, and TFH really have malleable placements.

You can argue that MC was a direct prequel to FS and FSA a distant sequel to them.
Also TH is the same Link as ALBW, so it's a direct sequel to that.
>>343021084
No thats just Nintendo being cute. That has NEVER been Nintendo's approach to making games.
Nintendo make games to be fun. They will come up with a gameplay mechanic first and foremost and then build the rest of the game around it. The games are deliberately unconnected to allow Nintendo more creative freedom.
Now granted, some games ARE direct sequels (Wind Waker/Phantom Hourglass) but this is really just an afterthought to Nintendo and not a prerequisite to the conception.
Timeline theorists don't want to hear that. And I'm not trying to insult anyone who is into the lore - just like Nintendo doesn't want to insult fans either.

This game is all over the fucking place. I'm calling timeline calamity, hence Ganon's title. I think Nintendo's crazy enough to pull it off, the absolute madmen.
In case you don't know, Rupees can be found in the demo.

Yeah obviously TMC and the FS games connect to each other, but they don't connect with the rest of the series very well
And while TFH Link is the same Link as ALBW, the plot has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the series and could be pretty much anywhere

It cannot be in WW timeline, because there are ruins of castle town and Temple of Time, in WW ganon destroyed all of this, even the people built hyrule castle over the Temple Of Time.
And the Koroks could have been existed in other timelines.
>>343020534
Or it's just a fucking Easter Egg. Jesus.
>>343021914
I really hope there is sailing in the game.
That would be fucking great.

Having another Asspulled Timeline adtter the decline one is too fucking much, there was an already coherent Timeline all made by the fans, then hyrule historia came and just invented a fucking timeline, bullshit.
Minish cap doesn't even make sense after Skyward Sword.
What is the average age of /v/'s Zelda fan base?
I'm not expecting too many underage or late teens since they weren't around when the series was in its prime. I wonder if BoTW will rekindle a new generation since SS and the shitty handheld games have failed to do so since TP's initial release?
25 reporting in. But will be 26 in about a few weeks, so I guess the latter, technically speaking.
>>343021757
>Saria begins talking
The Hero of Time’s death was a set up by the Hylian government. It was all a big drama staged by TP Zelda so they could get their hands on the Triforce of Courage, and the Hero of Time was the star of the show. They planned it so that they could get the Legacy that Link inherited and destroy their enemies at the same time. Only a legendary hero like The Hero of Time could have earned the Goddess’ trust. Finding out where the Triforce of Courage was hidden was to be Zelda’s greatest mission. Everything was going according to plan... but then something happened that no one could have predicted. The Hero of Time flung himself at enemies in a chance to be remembered, losing an eye. King Zora demanded that the Hylian government provide proof that it wasn't involved.
>>343021619
>OoX is a direct sequel to ALttP and direct prequel to LA
That's a stretch.
>>343022860
They couldn't just abort the operation to steal the Triforce of Courage, so the operation itself was greatly expanded and revised. The royales in Hyrule knew that in order to prove its innocence they'd have to get rid of The Hero of Time and that one of their own would have to do the job. The public couldn't be allowed to find out about it, not ever. This, they concluded, would be the best way to keep the whole thing under wraps. The Her of Time wouldn't be allowed to come back home alive. And he wouldn't be allowed to kill himself. His life would be ended by his most beloved companion... that was the way the Hylians wanted it. That was the mission he was given. And he had no choice but to carry it out... his death at your hands was a duty he had to fulfill. Out of duty, he turned his back on his own comrades. A lesser man would have been crushed by such a burden. The taint of disgrace will follow him to his cursed grave. Future generations will revile him: In Hyrule, as a despicable traitor with no sense of honor; and in Termina, as a monster who unleashed a celestial catastrophe. He will go down in official history as a war criminal, and no one will ever understand him... that was his final mission. And like a true Hero, he saw it through the end. But I think he wanted you, of all people to know the truth. He wanted to live on in your memory. Not as a man, but as a Hero. But... he was forbidden to tell you himself. And that's why he told me. Navi, history will never know what he did. No one will ever learn the truth. His story, his debriefing... will endure only in our hearts. Everything he did, he did for his country. He sacrificed his life and his honor for his native land. He was a real hero. She was a true legend.
>>343022796
At some point you have to stop being so uptight about details.
>>343022796
It's because there is no timeline. They're just games loosely connected by lore, names, recurring imagery and not much else.
>>343022776
That does look like enough for at least a shitty boat.

>>343022796
I sincerely doubt that Nintendo cares that much about the timeline.
They WILL retcon to an extent in order for it to fit the desired concepts behind their games. They always have, always will.

First game I actually played in my entire life was Adventure of Link, I was 2 and played it with my cousins that Christmas, earliest memory I have actually was that Christmas. It's not a long memory, but I do remember it. Played them all except for HW mostly because I don't have a Wii U or N3DS and I don't want to get it on my current 3DS.

>>343023138
You can connect them if you want, but the games aren't built on being a sequel or prequel of anything. In the Oracle games, all you need to know is that there's Ganon and a Triforce, and in Link's Awakening all you need to know is he's on a boat (something which needed no explanation when the game came out.) I'm not saying OoS/OoA can't lead into LA, but it wasn't made to explain anything as a prequel or build on anything as a sequel like Skyward Sword and Wind Waker were.
>>343023049
There is a timeline, but as >>343023109 says, they will retcon things as they see fit. That's how Japanese storywriters work, if they think of something cool, the existing lore be damned, they'll throw it in and try their best to explain it. Look at MGS and KH for examples.
>>343022841

I wouldn't mind seeing a Zelda game - new or re-imagined/remade - in this style.
