one day link woke up and decided to take a shit because hey he's the hero of time. so link went up to epona and said "epona i want you to be my shitter" and since epona was link's bitch she opened her mouth. link pulled down his stained chainmail and began to shit in epona's mouth. epona was forbidden to express any emotions but at this moment she was feeling very aroused.

link's face turned red as he grunted and strained to push his log of shit out of his ass. he farted and little shit particles flew into epona's eyes. epona's eyes teared up, not from the pain of the shit particles nor from the paint-peeling stench coming from link's unwashed ass, but from the sheer ecstasy of being link's shitter. link noticed this and began to grunt harder, teasing the horny mare.

link noticed that epona was whinnying as her clit got erect and her vagina moist. "stop that this instant" commanded link, noticing his own 3-incher was growing hard as well. epona whined and reluctantly stopped whinnying. with a final grunt and a smelly fart, link's log of shit finally dropped from his ass into epona's mouth.

link turned around and watched as epona chewed the shit log. "eat it bitch. eat it all" said link. epona pretended she hated doing this so much but her throbbing clit and moans of joy told link otherwise. "swallow it" ordered link but epona didn't want to swallow it yet. she wanted to savor the shit. "SWALLOW IT RIGHT NOW HYAAH" screamed link as he began wang-slapping epona across the face.

You know i shouldn't really waste my time cause you're probably dumb as fuck, but this was a tech demo that was released in 2012 to showcase the potential of a next gen Zelda on wii u hardware. considering it's not a full fledge game and solely only a single room it's no wonder why it's fluid and highly detailed.

Here's zome of the Zelda wii U gameplay
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0y4hv62YEw

it's realisticly what Nintendo's capable of. The big open world and the game as a whole (at this point) takes a toll and the sacrifice is the visual quality in favor of a style that allows the game to play fluidly in its massive world. Yu can see that the world as big as it is doesn't compare to
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUFFVATu9Lg or the tech demo. If you honestly feel as tho the tech demo (be it not an actual representation of the final product) doesn't look good in any regards you probably dont have opinions worth acknowledging in the first place

I agree. Especially because Link has evolved over the years from a player avatar into an iconic character that's a constant in the ever changing world of Zelda.

If you want to strip that from him and dumb down his personality (in his actions, motivations, and animations) because you can't self insert into a character that's not an approximation of you or GOD FORBID you're a waifufaggot, then fuck you.

I hate what Skyrim and Bioware has done to the video game audience, where every game is expected to have a custom protagonist and empty open world.

Pretty much. Tbh it's one of the reasons I didn't play witcher is because I don't like an RPG not being me BUT Zelda is more of an adventure game with a story.
If they wanted to make a "Zelda" game where you play as Zelda or a creed type game playing and a Gerudo with a female protagonist that would actually make sense, and probably be pretty sweet. Just please don't fuck a legend like that.

I don't understand how people are so pessimistic about this game. Nintendo is in a bad spot but they've poured a shit ton of time and money into this project and the whole point is that they admitted Zelda was stale and they're going in a new direction.

Why can't Nintendo make "big" games anymore? Do they simply not have the resources or talent to match western studios?

The last console Zelda was pathetically small in scope compared to stuff like The Witcher 3, for example.
>>
>>340398913
Not really. Zelda only gives you that sense of grand adventure when you're a little kid. I enjoy the games, but they're all jam packed with tedium, and I don't really know why the 3D Zelda games are seen as milestones for every generation, or these definitive gaming experiences. Every person has a different vision of what he or she wants out of them as well, so they always end up disappointing. This game in particular looks to be chasing trends, which makes me highly skeptical.

I really hope that the rumors about it having a more action-game DMC/Bayo inspired battle systems are true.

Honestly couldn't care about Zelda, or even Nintendo at this point. Same issue I had with Twilight Princess. Took too long to release because of the Wii version, just like the NX.

I have zero faith in Nintendo's ability to make a good game in this day and age. It's not even skepticism anymore. I just know it's going to disappoint and not live up to the ridiculously massive hype it's generated.

I think that's part of it. It's been so hyped and built up over the years and Nintendo's been completely radio silent on it, so people have been creating these wild expectations that you know modern Nintendo can't deliver on.

So what can Nintendo do to make this new Zelda compete with its peers? Somehow I doubt it could take the industry by storm like OOT did but I'd be glad if it was a return to the classic formula of the NES/SNES games but done in 3D.

Alright guys, how would this game surpass Ocarina as the best Zelda ever?

>Overworld feels new and distinct from OoT and TP
>Not too open
>Decent-sized villages and towns with lots of people
>Minimum 7 full-sized dungeons
>Dungeons aren't just re-imaginings of standard stuff (Forest Temple, Fire Temple)
>Bring back magic, manual shielding/shield aiming, random items (deku sticks, bottled water)
>Combat is at least as good as Darksiders (ei 4/10 on the complexity scale)
>No major graphics problems (blurry textures, horrible LOD)

God I hope it's okay.

You can critique Dragon's Dogma, I don't mind. It has plenty of flaws, but I guarantee any you can name can be applied to every LoZ.

You're not wrong either, character customization is stupid to some degree, and would be stupid in LoZ, but what else can be offered?

The series doesn't want to advance itself by adding a worthwhile narrative or characters with memorable dialogue.

The series doesn't want to advance itself gameplay-wise. If it had any sense it would have introduced actual jumping, I.E. a jump button, in Twilight Princess. I mean, what sort of adventure doesn't have platforming?

Two things LoZ could revive, but it's chosen not to up to this point: Puzzles and Platforming. So two elements it chooses not to have, on top of the aforementioned writing and gameplay.

What's the point? Why would I play LoZ over DD? Exploration? Not likely.

Fuck you though.

Zelda characters are many times more interesting to me than those in Xenoblade.

>>340411949
I disagree.
I know Xenoblade has a LOT of characters, but interacting with them felt a little too stilted to me, and many of them were not well enough written or of an interesting enough visual design for me to care very deeply.
>>
>>340398913
I'm still convinced this is Zelda and Link will be revealed at E3 with a more masculine model. Instead of some mythical entity, Zelda is your companion ala Bioshock Infinite and uses archery to help you out in combat.
>>
>>340412230
And I would agree. Not just create a group of characters that good and turn them into the main cast. MM's biggest flaw is that its best parts are off to the side

>>340412272
I was referring to the main crew that the story around.

The closest Zelda has come to doing that would be with Wind Waker's pirates, but they were never given a proper chance to shine

That makes no sense, we've seen them play as this character, its Link, the main playable character, not a sidekick.
>>
>>340412457
I don't see how you could do that since Zelda was never a party-based series. Only a handful of characters can be considered the "main" ones.
>>
>>340412638
Do what they did with the explorers in Telma's bar but make them active and useful

ST Zelda is also another great example.

Hey, you sort of got me. The humans really are boring? I guess the excuse could be made that, and I don't know if you've played it so I'll tag it...

That Pawns and Humans are basically one in the same, so the soulless embodiment that Pawns represent extends to all humans aside from the Arisen

Regardless, that's not an excuse. It does have very poor characters outside of the Arisen(s), I.E. THE Arisen, the King, Grigori, etc...

However, I personally feel this applies to Legend of Zelda. I can remember how every character looks, their designs are incredibly memorable and their features distinct, but as characters? They have not a single memorable line between them from the entire series. They aren't so much characters as pinups. Easily recognizable, easily forgettable.

>I coveted that wind, I suppose

The only line from the entire series that stuck with me. Tragedy is always welcome, and they played it relatively well in WW.

But then you jump to Twilight Princess and worse still, Skyward Sword, and he's butchered.
>>
>>340412389
Keep that hope up.

I kept thinking throughout most of Twilight Princess that Midna would be revealed to actually be Ganon in disguise.

>>340412553
Or IS it? Why does this "Link" have a ponytail? And why does every art seem to accentuate tiny breasts?
>>
>>340412852
It's because I know that Zelda can create good characters that I'm frustrated with its failure to capitalize.

>>340412861
They could help in several ways. The point is to not waste good design and writing on cutscene fodder.
>>
>>340411832
That would be a start, but I'd like them to bring back the optional items a stamina meter from SS. Those were one of the few good new idea from SS, and Zelda has a bad habit of forgetting about small improvments to the gameplay.

I was talking about visual design mostly. Of human characters.

I think Zelda is quite far ahead of Dragon's Dogma in that department, even considering how they aren't trying to do the same thing.

Dialogue wise it's true. I don't remember remember much writing from Zelda. It seems more concerned with conveying personality and mood than snappy memorable lines.

For the record, I'm male, and I cannot recommend either of those. I do recommend Dragon's Dogma, if that wasn't obvious enough.

And regardless of my rampant dis-taste for LoZ, I'm still looking forward to this game. I already have a Wii U so I'm definitely getting it, I just hope a lot of footage comes out of E3.

>Please have an overworld worth exploring

Wind Waker was different but great and Twilight Princess did everything OoT did but better. Sure, neither of them were as good as Majoras Mask but very few games are.

I'm not gonna defend Skyward Sword though. Because seriously, what were they thinking?

I truly think the breasts thing is just a shortcoming of the rig for the 3D model. He's bent forward, but the rib cage doesn't sink into the abdomen like it would on and actual human, giving a much more concave look than would be expected from such a pose. Makes the pecks stand out like breasts would.

Oh absolutely. It can't just be big for the sake of being big.

Epona avoiding trees on here own, with the mane flying around like that looked pretty fucking badass thouigh, so whatever they end up doing, I'm confident it'll at least be a fun game to dick around in for some amount of time.

Alright alright, if your first game was Link to the Past, I'd understand how you could see Link's Awakening as just being a gated cut-rate version.

I like it better though. To me it sits as the perfect in-between for the evolution that happened from LttP and OoT. With a pretty good sense of humor to boot.

Let me be blunt; if Zelda U's open world isn't fucking fantastic, the game will be garbage.

Falling for the Open World meme? Go ahead, but make it fucking good. I'm so tired of poor and half assed Open Worlds, I'm tired of filler garbage taking up the whole map, I'm tired of garbage mission structures that makes the open world nothing more than an obstacle in your way.

Zelda need to pull a fucking royal flush in its level design, just like how Ocarina showed how you make 3D action adventure games, Zelda U needs to show everyone how you fucking make an Open World game.
