So green tunic is officially dead. Toughts?
There's nothing objectively wrong with the new design
Hmmm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vv3wC-4FRcE
>>335751696
A dead as it was in Wind Waker.
>>335751696
>Link without his sword and trademark garb
Might as well. Modern Legend of Zelda hardly resembles traditional Legend of Zelda, so why should Link?
I think it's good thing. Frankly, Zelda is a series that's too indulgent of its icons, and it's produced nothing but middling to mediocre games. Hopefully such a drastic change might be a sign that the designers are echewing the surface elements of a prototypical Zelda game in favour of a return to form and a true innovation on the original ethos of the series, but that remains to be seen.
>>335751696
Green is a really gay color, I hope so.
>>335752336
Yeah thats nice and all but I guaran-fucking-tee you we'll get the usual green tunic 1 hour into the game.
I know the new theme song for this game
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gFnCwVqbWs
You'll get it early game i guarantee. This is just like Wind Waker was.
>no more chainmail
fuck thank goodness
>>335753001
Eat shit. Chainmail was a great addition to the design.
>>335753310
No it wasn't. It never was. Made Link look like a Final Fantasy character.
The old Links didn't have that shit and had better games, chainmail Links are pussies
>>335751895
At least he doesn't look like a flaming faggot in the new art, hopefully they fix him up in game as well.
>>335751696
What's with the spooky spellbook?
>>335753380
>Made Link look like a Final Fantasy character.
In what fucking reality?
Chainmail made Link look more like an actual adventurer/fighter rather than some dip that tanks sword slashes with his tunic alone.

Not pissed at all
This series needs to change. Link has never been a proper swordsman anyways.
He'll probably get the Green Tunic in a dungeon later down the line, like the Red/Blue Tunics before.
His little book thing is probably what you'll see on the GamePad too.
>>335755187
Thrilled, we don't have many archery games

>Modern Legend of Zelda hardly resembles traditional Legend of Zelda
lol
>>335751696
I don't know about you but being a literal nobody who suddenly gets a sword and/or tunic due to circumstance has been great.

All still with the blue clothes. Not saying that the hero's tunic is totally gone, that'd be silly. But you might have to actually prove yourself as a hero before you get it.godamn i am so fucking hyped for this game
There needs to be more pantsless Link
It'd be neat if you got different costumes for different situations. Like if their is a stealth section that leads to a disguise so you can walk around an enemy strong hold freely.
Hope they put Gorons again, specially a cute manly beast like Darunia

you're missing that fucking sword that is twice as long as young link
>>335759231
A swourard? You mean a stealth stick? I know what those are. When Link put one in his hand, something knocks it away so you can do a stealth section instead! Stealth sections are WAY more fun than fighting monsters!
>>335759231
What does that have to do with anything?

There will be a second run ala LOZ, in which you'll wear the hero tunic.
As long as this follows the MM timeline and not do another BEFORE THIS HAPPENED like SS and does not follow TL's gay adventures than i'll be good.
>>335754798
All of those games promo material had link in the hero tunic, unlike this.

>The Legend of Zelda: Spoopy Spellbook
Fixed.
Let's reunite the crumbs we have
>link has a book that seems important
>bow has been more emphasized than sword
>you can carry a really long sword
>link clothes aren't the usual green (as far as I remember even if you started with different clothes on other games they always shown the green tunic in the trailers)
anything else worth mentioning?
I was playing WWHD recently. Going through the tutorial to get the sword, I was caught off guard by the emphasis they put on vertical and horizontal slashes, and thrusts.
Not in general, I'd play WW 10 years before, and every Zelda made at that.
But correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there were also similar "tutorial" signs in Ocarina of Time, around when you get the Kokiri sword, since the ability to influence the direction of Link's sword has essentially been in the blood since the leap to 3D.
And it's strange how it never really became important until Skyward Sword.
I think it could be really simple to implement, since for the most part it's just tilting a bit when you hit B.
I think it could be a great way to add some tactical depth to sword combat when faced with more human-sized enemies, rather than just wading in, or slowing down the pace to Prince of Persia/AssCreed/Arkham combat where Link would be locked into animations and the player would wait for a counter option, or padding out the combat by turning enemies into punching bags to style on. Zelda's saving grace has been how quickly enemies die.
I think it'd also compliment the Legend of Max Payne thing they got going on with the bows.
>>335761080
The arrow launched by the bow(and the big tank enemy) are pre-apocalyptic Skyward Sword levels of tech.
>>335761080
>the horse we've seen so far does not look like Epona
>you can climb tall things to get a good view
>>335757448
i sincerely hope they don't bring back the tunic
i like this new design way more and zelda could use some revised elements
what i'm really hoping for is more weapon options other than the master sword too. even an additional sword ala biggorons would be fantastic. make it more like the souls games and add customization to increase replayability
>>335761080
I'll bet anything it'll be some fan-fic tier bullshit about Link having some ancestor who was part of the Sheikah or founding of it or some bullshit, and he'll be a supporter of a Zelda or something. I just find it weird as fuck that the concept art they would come out the door with would be that. He doesn't have his sword, his tunic. Just some bow that looks like it's from that timestone shit from SS. And all this intrigue about them actually considering making him a female. I'm expect nothing good to come out of this. They've lost focus and are turning to the retard fans to figure out what to do with the series and it's going to suck hard.
>>335751984
Except you wear that outfit for the first 20 minutes of the game and then get moved to the green tunic.
I think SS had link out of the tunic the longest

Oh right, people would rather prefer the effortless and stale swing of a sword from OoT. I forgot having sword skills being stylish was a problem for /v/
>>335752336
Or the just wanna put Gyro controls in it
>>335762358
Incorporate the items into combat more.
The endgoal here is getting sword into enemy. Trying to pad out "stab motherfucker" into anything more than its rudimentary forms is just fluff. Spreading it out over more than two buttons is just excessive.

>the ability to influence the direction of Link's sword has essentially been in the blood since the leap to 3D.
>And it's strange how it never really became important until Skyward Sword.
I know, and this has perpetually bothered me. Early game enemies in OoT like the Deku Baba's actually made significant use of the slash directions, which result in you defeating them in different ways with different effects. The game quickly seems to drop this though. Is seems weird the way they pushed the sword motion controls as if they were actually innovative.
>>335763801
I hate how seldom unblockable attacks are used.
>>335751696
>Zelda is still a man
triggere and all that
>>335763801
And yet the games that came afterward had worse swordplay.
>>335763621
Zelda always had that, there are always enemies who are weak to certain items, is just that slashing the shit outta of everything is what most people do, myself included, since there is no animation or indication that tells you the item is strong against something other than killing ut with less blows
>>335757448
2 0 1 6
>>335764290
It doesn't need to be rock paper scissors. In fact, it shouldn't be. Skyward Sword had the right idea in that up until you got the bow, Link's sword was pretty much the only way to deliver damage and everything else in his arsenal augmented that, whether by wrenching away enemy shields and weaponry, or just punching through their defenses to open them up for the sword.
>>335764496
>tfw we've been getting teased since 2013

>>335761080
link's sword has chips on it. he must use it a lot/be experienced. so there's no "learning" phase, maybe? or maybe what they've shown was just taken from later on. but then why is he wearing his strarting garb? (and it is starting garb. you'll undoubtedly get your green tunic a few hours in, because fuck any change whatsoever. )
>>335758592
Only if he were a girl.
Why are so many swords stronger than the Master Sword?
>>335751696
Honestly he looks too manly in that pic.
>>335761453
shame they didn't hand it off to retro or something. aonuma clearly is fatigued of the series. it's basically like sonic now.

It'll be a special alt costume that gives you an extra heart and lets you do double damage.
Only available through a special limited edition Amiibo (TM) you can only get by pre-ordering
Am I the only who actually doesn't like Link's green tunic, no matter how iconic it is? I think it looks silly and makes him look like some sort of elf or gnome. specially with that hat.
>>335765975
gross.
>wanting a zelda to be easier than it no doubt already will be.
>>335766012
I fucking hate it.
the hat at least. what he's wearing now is fine though. they should make it green though. his "iconic" design is outdated as fuck and a lot of anime/games from that era did that for some reason. same with depicting people from medieval times with sausage/condom feet and wearing potato sacks.
>>335758592
As long as he's still a shota, sure.
>>335764224
>>335763801
>>335763408
Technically they all have the same Swordplay.
If you are talking about the speed and fluidity of the animations, okay thats different. But all the console Zelda games save for SS due to motion controls follow the exact same control scheme for swordplay as OoT. Windwaker just has Parry and TP has Hidden Skills(which are 100% optional)
>>335751696
>Zelda for the first time ever completely skipped a console generation
>So Zelda is officially dead. Thoughts?
FTFY
Well, blue tunic. Quite like the color representative of the triforce of wisdom. Whereas green is typically courage. That and the bow, something that Zelda uses fairly often or is involved with. Light arrows, shooting ganon, etc etc.
It being Zelda doesn't seem impossible.
>>335751696
Does that mean it might finally be time for a game with default armored Link? Please Nintendo
>>335766118
people would actually use it and think that liking the outfit is a good excuse
This one actually looks nicer imo. That green tunic + nightcap thing only got sillier as graphics got better. And the artstyle is a nice middle ground between twilight princess and wind waker.
>you never get the green tunic
>Linkle's in the game and she has it
>>335754485
It's fuckign green eyes all over again.And Metroidfags are still worse.
>>335751696
If its in, hopefully, its optional. I don't know why you HAVE to wear it.
>>335751696
The book he has on his hip is a bestiary and lore book, plus map that you can pin points of interests on.
Zelda is finally getting deep.
>>335766419
It would make sense, you are now a gender bent Prince Zelda trying to save Linkle the farmhand. With the way things have been going this wouldn't surprise me.
>>335766897
Nah, it's just a Wii U tablet, continuing the proud 3D Zelda tradition of "shitty actual nintendo product inside the game as a piece of lore". Like the Stone of Agony or the Tingle Tuner.
>>335751696
I like his more masculine look compared to that ugly androgynous shit we had. I just hope the game reflects it.
Still all the news just makes it sound like the new game will be a huge disappointment.

i have been disappointed by much worse things in the past, i just want an enjoyable 30 hours experience at the very least.
I welcome any change at this point. After everything that's happened to the series, I'd rather they get as far away from what Zelda has become as possible.
Make it more like Dark Souls, make it more like Skyrim, I don't give a fuck, just don't make it like a modern Zelda.

It's going to be a magic book with no history and the Sheikah symbol drawn on because they thought it looked cool. At most someone will give some vague and generic line about it coming from an ancient civilization because that is the extent of their writing skills.
>>335768818

even souls games don't have gore. they hardly have blood.
>>335768749

Actually, as a completely unrelated anon, wouldn't we all like to see them do better since then we would get cool art to look at?
>>335769170
That's about what I expect out of Nintendo for this. Just color swaps, no new models. Who needs effort?
>>335768967
the book of mudora was from alttp, oot is 3d alttp.
anon the book of mudora has the sheikah symbol on it from ocarina of time 3d to skyward sword. you know that they wont resist pandering to LttP and OoT nostaglic and lorefriends. but in the end itis mere speculation but i hope this happens, even though Aonuma is running Zelda into the ground
whew!
that's better.
>>335769071
But knowing how to cook can give you an appreciation of how difficult it is to prepare a 5 star meal, similar to how if you knew how to draw in any serious capacity you'd be more appreciative of their work instead of dismissing it as half done.

My hopes is that it's just the stuff you start out with and you'll be able to find, craft, and buy clothing and armor sets as you go on.
>>335751696
The crafting system from Skyward Sword is back, except now you can craft tunics.
The "classic" green tunic is the ultimate tunic. It halves the damage you take and gives you sword beams at full health.

>>335770608
Needs something...
Oh, make it so there's a bonus moment in the ending, where they imply that THIS Link's green tunic and hat are the reason all future versions down the line will dress like that.
>>335761495
You can keep it in NG+ actually
>>335771192
We already have the hat homage with the Minish Cap.
>>335771530
And then they forgot about it in Skyward Sword.
>>335771643
Everyone already agreed that Skyward Sword never happened.
>>335771643
To be fair the Four Sword trilogy almost feels like it belongs in it's own universe (Like Ganondorf apparently not existing until the third game)
>>335751696
So like, why did they show a new design for Link's face in the reveal trailer, and then this artwork goes right back to the Twilight Princess face?
Are we doomed to forever have Twilight Princess represent "adult" Link, and Toon Link represent "child" Link?
I miss when Link's design changed every other game.
>>335753380
There is not a single mainline FF character with chainmail the fuck you on about? This is a tom preston tier complaint,.
>>335772023

>>335768608

Prepare to be disappointed unless it's 30+ hours of worse padding than what SS did.
>>335767463
its called impressionism retard
>>335751696
I'm guessing this game will give Link a more customizable and varied wardrobe, like an Elder Scrolls game
