>>341544485
Also, what's the thing crawling around death mountain in pic related?
What if it takes place in an entirely new timeline?
If there is one fucking thing I would love for them to homage is making link have to get to Hyrule castle from the roof outside. Make him have to climb and bit and defeat some monsters on his way to the roof.Also make him walk along very thin places with Darknut Archer's being assholes
After everything we've see, what's the worst way they could screw it up?
>>341544714
Either a boss or Bigggoron.
I hope it's a boss. I want to go Dragon's Dogma or Shadw of the Colossus on that shit.
>>341544714
What if it's a giant Goron rolling around death mountain?
I wonder if we'll get a spoopy ambient dungeon with upgraded ReDeads.
>>341544847
here, have that in higher quality senpai
This enemy is the thing that I missed the most from the final release of TP
>>341544714
Could be that giant Stalfos-like enemy we saw in the reveal trailer, but it seems way too huge even for that. Plus, it looks like it's scuttling around the mountain, with a low profile. Maybe Gohma's a huge bitch this time around?
Reminder that this is the game that makes Hyrule Warriors cannon
Can we meme magik a eshop demo? Can we twitter bomb nintendo? I reall really want to play this
>>341544940
Combat is piss-easy all the way through.
Side quests are more fetch-quests/collectathon shit.
Lore and plot is Skyward Sword levels of bad.
>>341545065
Thanks.
Anyone else hope this bitch comes back? She was awesome in SS.
>>341545028
>upgraded ReDeads
I'd sooner fucking die than set foot in a dungeon like that
>>341544485
Reminder that this game takes place after Wind Waker. It even has the exact same Koroks that were in Wind Waker. Considering the Koroks are ageless, it makes since that they would be here no matter how much time passed.
>>341545262
You can cause a lotta destruction with that
I'm ready
>>341545125
This. It's definitely "scuttling" or "crawling" on death mountain, so that eliminates it from big a biggoron at least.
Gohma or some kind of gargantuan insect-like beast seems likely.
>>341545290
Game looks great. Here's hoping the NX version runs at 1080p.
>>341545262
>do that while not on elevated ground
>literally kill yourself
>>341545341
>koroks were last seen trying to remake forests throughout the great sea
hmmm,.
I have a theory that not only is the Old Man actually Ganondorf, but he's using you both to power up to fight his separated evil side because he's sick of this cycle shit, but also goading you into doing this via items and other shit to get you motivated to doing such for him without ever knowing until too late.
Odds are he even is the one who teaches you all the fancy sword/weapon techniques you can likely use throughout the game via muh Gerudo training and also prior fights with past Lunks, to mold you into a true hero for his own purposes.
Basically, what I'm saying is that in all true, Ganondorf the whole time wants payback for being a salty evil demon's bitch for countless centuries and ruining what he wanted all along, and he will use Lunk(aka you) into fucking the demon spirit's shit up so he can know peace at last. Basically, this is the story of how Ganondorf goes FUCK THIS SHIT and gets out of the cycle at last.
Someone give me some jackass link
>>341545490
Exactly. I think we know why Hyrule is no longer flooded.
>implying this isn't a timeline convergence set either initially set in the hero dies timeline or after twilight princess that will have every timeline crash in on each other
prepare for some space dandy shit
>>341545616
>>341544714
Didn't the last thread decide it was a guardian?
>>341545665
>That enormous spider thing on Death Mountain
>>341545573
I'm down with that.
and assuming that the Punished Link theory is true, it would provide a perfectly good reason for Link to side with Ganondorf, since he can relate to his issues.
Even better if the game is basically about the 3 cursed souls going against their initial fate by trying to stop the cycle and giving off a big "fuck you" to Demise and the goddesses.
>>341545573
I actually really like this theory.
I hated the reveal in SS where Ganondorf was just Demise's hatred. Ganondorf plotting to end Demise once and for all for giving him essentially a cursed existence sounds pretty badass actually.
This also gives credence to this being post-WW in that timeline.
>>341544485
the only thing I hope for is that there is a Yggdrasil
>>341545178
Supposedly some guy stole the demo and uploaded it somewhere, but people aren't sure.
No, he wasn't caught, that was a fake.
>>341544485
>>341545665
I wonder what that huge wall surrounding that area was? I guess it might have been the outer defenses of Castle Town or something, but it looks like it's circling the overlook that Link's on.
Goddamn, this is the sort of Souls-esque narrative-through-level-design I've been waiting for.
>>341546114
I really hope one of the areas far from the plateau is literally just a forest with trees the size of Death mountain
>watching the Day 2 video on youtube
>Audrey pesters Chico into removing Link's shirt immediately
The girl-boner cash Nintendo will be harvesting next year will be unreal
What would you guys rather have:
>tons of fucking huge Sotc style bosses
>final boss is just a 1v1 sword duel against Ganondorf
Or
>all the bosses are about the same size as they are in other Zelda games
>Final boss is tall than Death Mountain
>>341545983
>the unbridled destruction Link is capable of in this game
Holy shit, and we all joked that he was a menace when he was just smashing everyone's pottery.
>>341545853
SO HERE I A-
>>341546325
>"just" a 1v1 sword duel
Those are always the best final bosses.
>>341546325
the former
Having a final boss who's on your level tends to be more engaging for me
>>341546325
>>tons of fucking huge Sotc style bosses
>>final boss is just a 1v1 sword duel against Ganondorf
This, I want bosses the size of your moms pussy wadering around the overworld, as well as dungeon specific bosses.
The last fight honestly doesn't matter, as long as it's the most climatic thing ever it should be fine. I really liked TP's final boss, except a part in the middle that's all wolf link. The only thing, as with any other zelda game, is that it was too fucking easy.
>>341546325
1v1 sword duels are the best way to end a game, why are you saying it like a negative?
>>341545197
skyward sword's plot was pretty okay though
>>341546325
The former, especially with all the different combat mechanics the game is showing off.
>mfw when Ganon actually uses his trident for the first time in 3D
>>341546325
I want BOTH. I want to have an amazing sword duel with Ganondorf and for him to then transform into the hugest fucker in the game. Tons of different ways to climb him. Could make stairs with magnet, could make ice blocks, start fires for updrafts, straight up grabbing onto him and climb.
Finally ascend to his head and drive the Master Sword between his eyes once more.
>>341545975
>Ganondorf is fighting Calamity Ganon because he's tired of this shit and wants to know peace at last
>Lunk is fighting them as well because he feels for Ganondorf's situation and wished to give this Old Man once he learned the truth an end to his suffering via killing the thing that keeps this shit going endlessly
>yfw the final boss is actually Zelda going full-on Goddess Hylia as she tries to murder both Ganondorf and Lunk to replace them with a new Ganondorf and Lonk to continue the cycle
>yfw to finally end the cycle, two once opposite forces must team together to basically murder God
>>341546325
Former. But this time make it actually difficult unlike almost any other 3D Zelda final boss or boss fight period.
>>341546786
OH GOD. I need this now. If the theory that the Old Man is Ganondorf is true, I want him to teach you techniques if you find him in obscure places and he makes reference to being proficient with a trident in his youth.
>>341544714
>>341544941
it looks like a giant guardian if you watch closely in real time. Has the legs.
>there will be people who will pick up the axe and attack the old man not even 2mins into the game
>>341546914
>>yfw the final boss is actually Zelda going full-on Goddess Hylia as she tries to murder both Ganondorf and Lunk to replace them with a new Ganondorf and Lonk to continue the cycle
Why would she want to continue the cycle though? The cycle began in the first place because she wanted to kill Demise once and for all, but then Demise ended up cursing them both for generations with his future hatred. It wasn't really her fault things ended up that way.
>implying we won't have Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf against Calamity Ganon all together
>>341547050
Fuck yes.
>>341546325
Former by a long shot.
Feels epic throughout the game and then shit gets personal when the final boss is about your size and a decent sword-fighter to boot.
>>341544847
pretty rad
>>341544485
>What timeline does this take place in?
Failed hero. The map is similar to Zelda 2 (don't give me that "but the Korok's" shit. We don't know what happened to Kokiri in the hero failed timeline and the Skyward sword ChuChu's are walking around so shove it.)
>Is it the end of every timeline?
Either after Zelda 2 or before Zelda 1
>What's the meteor in pic related?
random event special items maybe. Don't know. gameplay element.
>Who is Gannon?
In failed hero ganon is dead after Zelda 1 and never to be resurrected after Zelda 2.
>What are the Sheikahs doing?
Making sick ass technology that can either revive the dead or cryogenicly put someone to sleep and wake them up later apparently.
>>341547141
Normal Guardians have 500 HP. I wonder how much HP a Colossal Guardian has? 1000? 5000?
>>341547207
>he pulls a Cucco from his robe and uses it to intercept the blow
>>341547449
No, it's Hyrule under a Lodran effect where all timelines are converging into something new entirely. Because koroks aren't the only elephant in the room when it comes to timeline displacement here.
>>341547207
inb4 he's able to one-shot you as well
>>341547315
Im glad this exists
>>341545231
I prefered her HW design, but yes. Having a Sheikah woman show up in any capacity in this game where the Sheikah are shown to be hyper advanced technosorcerers would be nice
>>341547207
don't mess with Zelda NPC's
>>341547602
>No, it's Hyrule under a Lodran effect where all timelines are converging into something new entirely.
LOTHRIC

LOTHRIC IS THE PLACE WHERE THE LANDS OF LORDS CONVERGE

I can't imagine there are a lot of situations where doing that doesn't result in suicide.
>>341544485

This triggers me

Time was also fucked up in DAS though.
It's always been fucked up.

>>341547975
Is this the first time he's been right handed without the motion control excuse?
>>341547975
>>341548160
The excuse is that you use the attack buttons with your right hand
I'm serious
>>341548020
It's Hyrule, the sheikh just left behind temples and artifacts and shit and hylians replaced them
I'm betting that now

>The voice commanding you isn't Zelda, it's a Sheikah (Impa?) guarding Zelda's stasis pod to prevent Ganon from discovering her
>>341548278
I don't see how this fits into the whole stupid robot business, but good catch on the omission of "courage" from the tally.
>>341548141
plot twist:
Young Link froze himself in time so that he could fuck Adult Malon
>>341548229
I'm still irrationally mad at this response.
Not at the fact that Link is right-handed, mind you. I'm perfectly fine with that.
But this reasoning is so fucking retarded.
>>341544915
Aonuma already said that's it's part of the official timeline.
Sounds like it takes place in one of the established timelines.
>>341548338
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YjQqLlSZq4
>>341547207That's what he meant when he said you can fight the final boss right away. But he probably dodges and tries to get you to settle down for quite a while first.

time was never fucked up though. space was. People couldn't out right die unless they fully hollowed or some shit.
Linking fires didn't loop in time or anything. there was just multiple realities that linked the flames
Jumping into other peoples games and hearing the bells ring and shit should have given that off.
>>341548391
Maybe Aonuma just pretended to be dumb and that the right handedness is actually foreshadowing something?hahahahahhahaa
>>341548374
There's a gif about this very sexual encounter.
>>341547805
>>341547959
>>341548083
Oh, this is new. We've never seen the Sheikah's homeland before. We've also never been told that they had a civilization, they've always been referred to as a tribe or clan. Could we finally learn about the event that drove the Sheikah to near extinction?
BotW Link is the same one from OoT who died in the defeated timeline
>>341548341
>they do that shit
>three of them standing in the ruins after the fight
>silent for a moment
>Ganondorf's triforce starts to glow
It's just never good enough for him
>>341547975
It shouldn't because chances are this isn't even a real Link in the first place.
>>341548553
>Jumping into other peoples games and hearing the bells ring and shit should have given that off.
Solaire literally tells you this
>>341548391
>Link has been left handed for over half the series

I'm so fucking mad.
>>341548532
hahahahaha what the fucks up with little midget link in each one, that shits hilarious
>>341548515
All it implies is that the Sheikah lacked the necessary courage to defend the land, which, if Link were the failed hero of that particular timeline, would make sense. He doesn't have to be a robot for the former to still hold true.
>>341548532

He's not, your misinterpreting his usage of the word just.
>>341548341
>>341546246
it's probably the last shield against the forces of Ganon.
Shielding the Temple of Time to prevent Ganon from reaching the sacred realm during the "age without the hero" before the great flood.
The amount of guardians around the Temple also points to them protecting the building. They were probably created by the Sheikah to defend against Ganon since there was no hero.
it would be so fucking awesome if the timelines somehow combine.
>>341548662
Didn't they have some digs set up in SS? I mean, Impa was alive and kicking when Zelda went to ground in that game. Didn't she imply at some point that there were more of her somewheres?
>>341548532
>mfw that old Ganondorf-looking man that's also with Link in every single timeline mural
GEE I FUCKING WONDER.
>>341545341
didn't phantom hourglass takes place literally just after wind waker?
also iirc link or zelda in spirit tracks are 100 years descendents from link and zelda in ph
i couldn't bring myself to finish spirit tracks so i don't know what happened after that
how likely is it that this 100 year nap link is right after st?

Bitch, that's so obviously Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule the Whatever-Number it's not even funny.
Remember the last time that somebody tried to reinvent the series with open world gameplay, and people spent months making fucking absurd fan theories about clones, time travel, and other convoluted bullshit?
They say those who fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it, please don't hurt yourselves guys.

>yfw the old man from original zelda is the king of hyrule too
>>341546246
>Goddamn, this is the sort of Souls-esque narrative-through-level-design I've been waiting for.
Aonuma's confirmed this is the sort of narrative delivery they're going for, yeah.
I think it's safe to assume that the Sheikah, or whoever built the walls, wanted to protect the Shrine of Resurrection at all costs.
>>341549473
Screw you, normie! We're all a little mad down here!
>>341549517
Why would the king need Link to fetch him the spirit orbs from Sheikah guardians, who serve the royal line?
>>341549473
Well with 8 fucking years of development the game Willard least be finished.
Right?
It takes place in the official timeline because it IS the official timeline.
The whole thing.
When people refer to "The Legend of Zelda", the legend spawned off of this series of events, right here.
The story of every other game in the series is a retelling, iteration, embellishment, tall tale, or a misremembering of this story.
>>341549315
The first zelda was also a rural land with no cities and runes everywhere.
They commented on the fact NPCs exist is BotW but you would have to find them stretched through out the game.
The NPCs in 1 were all hidden in caves and secret areas.
This game might just sneakingly be a LoZ1 Remake.

So, did no one else notice that as soon as Link leaves the Chamber of Rezing that he gets an old shirt and pants that don't quite fit him?
He went in as a kid and came out older.
>>341549115
unlikely because that game takes place in New Hyrule, a distant, separate continent, and this game almost assuredly takes place in the same Hyrule as OoT.
>>341545231

If every game is just "retelling the same story" then how is OoT followed immediately by MM? Or WW by PH? Or PH by ST?
>>341545983
These pyromaniac link memes just keep on giving.

>we finally get to also see the TRUE Zelda and what she truly is/looks like within the original legend/tale itself
>>341549905
Because Zelda hasn't even tried to make a convoluted storyline outside direct sequels like LttP>LA and OoT>MM until Aonuma took the OoT dicksucking too far.
>>341549947
Second Halves.
>>341549027
Impa mentions her tribe in Skyward Sword, so it looks the Sheikah were still fine at that point. At some point between Skyward Sword and Ocarina of Time almost every single Sheikah died off. Oh yeah, and Kakariko Village was apparently made by the Sheikah as well, so we'll probably see that in this game.
http://www.youdubber.com/index.php?video=BaczqkPGmmM&video_start=17&audio=cLoytewvn0g&audio_start=0
>>341549819
Why OoT? The map is shaped like Zelda 2.
>>341549473
I'm not too worried since the MGSV's gameplay was fine, it's biggest fault was it's story
and given the lack of a good story in Zelda i'm set.
>>341549115
You play as Gannon
The old man is old vaati who revived ganon and is guiding him on his adventure to get stronger
Guardians were made by the sheikah to protect themselves from Gannon and power on when they detect his presence
>>341550236
Because the OoT Temple of Time is right next to where you start.
>>341549947
>And then Link shoved his sword in Ganon's forehead, and he turned to stone!
>Wow! What happened next?!
>Uh...trains!
>>341550390
bill's a great guy.
>>341544485
Theme of new Zelda is about breaking conventions. I believe the game placed in the ganon is victorious timeline after wind waker but at the same time I don't think it adheres to the constrains of a "timeline" nor do I believe it has a liberty to.
>>341549994
No. You can have LORE.
>>341546625
lel souls faggot go home
the giant bossfight meme is fucking old and dead
>>341550390
>link is now an "idiot" white boy doing crazy dangerous shit for a thrill
....This makes too much sense.
I feel like the theory that it is where the timelines converge or that it's not in any specific timeline is correct, each timeline follows s pretty specific aesthetic and the new game doesn't fit any of them, in fact from the trailers it seems to take from each.
>>341550445
Ganon didn't turn to stone, he was encased in it
Notice how the stone goes out from his body
>>341550668
That's pretty terrifying. Why does the only empathetic Ganon get it so bad.
>>341550342
You never get the master sword in Zelda 1 and 2. and the trailer showed that the master sword does not rest in the temple of time but a forest much like link to the past.
This could be after or before LttP.
That and the Zelda 2 world map wasn't the least bit defined so there very well could have been the temple of time somewhere in that mess.
>>341544485
GameXplain said that the guides told them that Ganon's new form is called Calamity Ganon and that he's actually the black mist.
I never heard this on any of the streams, though. Can anyone confirm this?
never played skyward sword but i think that you can see skyloft in some of the gameplay videos
>>341550668
That's a modelling trick they did to ensure a proper transition. It would've been really tricky to have the texture on Ganondorf's model shift to stone like that, so they made a new stone-version model of him, scaled it just big enough, and had it draw over him with its own animation.
>>341550786
Where are my damn tutorials???
...wait did he just kick that chest and reel in pain?
>>341550969
apparently it is a flying ship of some kind.
also play SS it has the best story.
>>341550786
>doesn't turn around holding the item up high
dropped
>>341550924
Zelda 1, 2 and LttP all take place in the same Hyrule as OoT. I was specifically explaining why it's unlikely this is a followup to ST in an direct way.
>>341550969
Nope. It's some kind of airship. We've already discussed this.
>>341550958
This game is massively underrated.
I really liked the characters and the story. They were amazing. Oh, also, the artstyle.
>>341551079
>>341551114

i don't know, but you can tell it has small flying "islands" floating around it

If thats true, why did they make it stick out so far? It couldn't have been that hard to make it smaller. Im 100% convinced that Ganon is still alive after Wind Waker.
>>341551090
but insteads Recoils in pain because he kicked a chest with no shoes on.
>>341549473
Nah I'm having fun with all the theory bantz honestly.
And before that, I was hoping that this Link would be raised by Gerudo and stuff. You know, the all the fun theories we had before this E3 reveal. But I aint even mad. What we're getting now is so much better.
>>341551187

>>341549027
The Shiekah might have set up the time crystal mines in what's the desert in SS's present.
Someone here suggested they might have made the Ocarina of Time with those crystals.

the "Forest" you get the Master sword in LTTP is where the Temple of Time was, you can even see its progression to ruin in Twilight.
its the same platform from OoT to TWilight to LTTP.
thats all thats left by LTTP
>>341551281
Even if he did get incased in stone
He got a piece of sharp steel lodged very firmly in his brain.
So.
>>341551104
All Zelda games do. They are just washed over by water or covered over by darkness because of how the events of OoT went down. only one that doesn't is spirit tracks because hyrule moved house.
>>341550958
Yeah, it was on a stream that twitch itself was doing. They were playing a bunch of games that were at E3. One of the games they were playing was Breath of the Wild and they accidentally stumbled into a cutscene that confirmed that.
>>341551079
>>341551114
>>341551187
I remember there was a part of the stream where shadows went overhead and Chiko said that a huge cloud must a gone overhead. The guy next to her then said "Or maybe it was a zeppelin", and then very quickly stammered "Haha, there are no zeppelins in this game. Just kidding."
>>341551281
To guard against clipping. It'd kinda ruin the moment if part of his cloak got caught by the wind physics and phased through the rock before they could remove his model from the scene.

The game is mostly hated on 4chan but go anywhere else and people love it.That said, it's trash and it doesn't deserve any more praise than people around here give it.
>>341551417
i think it was in one of the e3 treehouse comfy threads, some anon posted a picture asking what it was and it had these boulder like things floating around it, it was all in the distance and everything was like a shadow so you couldn't see anything but the silhouette
>>341551519

The Sword is still on some pedestal in a forest in BotW if the trailer has anything to show for it. But the temple of time is right next to you in BotW when you start the demo so it ain't there in the temple.
This does not mean the temple of time is where the sword lies anymore. For all we know the temple of time was converted into that church in LttP above the castle.
Speaking of, does anyone here have the webm of the flying thing?
>>341551812
Why was this deleted?
>>341551874
bitch, that ain't the Temple of time
its just a temple.
the Temple of time is segemented into to spots, one with the god damn pedestal for the Sword, which isn't there.
>>341551958
probably because it was made too short
>>341551812
>you writhe in pain when you kick a chest with no pants on
>you reach for your back when you try to attack with no weapon
The attention to detail in this game is astounding.
So, whilst we're speculating, with the "twelve times bigger than Twilight Princess's map" thing going around for this game's map, I did some calculations for math size. If all math checks out, the total size of BotW's map will be approx. 114,660 km^2 in size, or about 71,246.4 mi^2 in Burger terms.
What does that mean for the game? Basically, it means that it actually is approx. 1.14 times larger than the size of all of The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall's map (which is a immense 62,394 mi^2) in comparison. In other words, expect to spend a fugton of time exploring this world whilst we discover and search for lore in the game itself.

>>341552057

>>341552057
It looks like some kind of ship with a landmass and buildings on top of it.
Either way, it's moving. Kind of makes me wonder if there are a bunch of moving ship-fortresses like this dotted across the landscape.
>>341552339

>>341544485
I think this game depicts the legend told in the opening cutscene of The Wind Waker. Except in the legend the people waited for the hero and he never came, but this is a new timeline branch where the hero does return and the world doesn't need to be flooded.
>hero suddenly vanishes (put into that stasis pod)
>Ganon takes over in the form of a large dark cloud
>prophesy foretells that the same hero from ages ago will return

It all adds up.

GUYS WE ARE FORGETTING SOMETHING
WHAT/WHERES THE MUSICAL ELEMENT
I'ma do my best here and summarize what we can know for sure here.
>Set in the WW timeline
>Koroks are present in the game
>Ganon, not Ganondorf, is the villain,
>There are over a hundred challenge shrines dotted around the landscape, all dedicated to certain magic men
>These shrines are all pretty complex for being underground
>Which means that some people built them
>Old man talks about Sheikah being in these lands
Speculation:
>The old men in the shrines are Sheikah
>The old man is a gerudo male, which implies Ganondorf
>Ganondorf might have lost control of his Ganon form and split from it, trying to find a hero to defeat it.
>Ganondorf might have activated the shrine to wake up Link, since he can be found right outside the entrance to it and had a freshly baked apple waiting for him
This is pure speculation, of course.
>>341551620
But I was trying to narrow it down to a timeline not the general concusses of "it's in hyrule guys."
Most shit about the game points to Failed hero timeline. Due to the Map. The Swords location and the General theme of the game.
What doesn't make sense is Skyward Sword Chuchu's and Windwaker Koroks.
we haven't seen a Zora or a goron yet but then again we have never seen a Goron in the failed Hero timeline and the Zora are more fish like in appearence
>>341552057
Nice ship
>>341552057
Maybe it's a floating town since the ground is dangerous as fuck
>>341552728
Wind Waker had tons
>>341552650
I immediately thought of this when I saw Calamity Ganon, but that story makes a big point about the fact that the hero never turned up. I have no idea how it would work out.
>>341552057
>YFW its the beetle ship which is now a mall of nothing but beetles
>>341552848
We must purge Hyrule of the Bokoblins
>>341550162
There's also a darker side to the Sheikah. After all, there's some seriously fucked up nonsense going on under Kakariko village, a village lead by the only known Sheikah in the world at the time, and the ancestral resting place of the royal family, whom it's said the Sheikah serve. You also find the Lense of Truth down in that shitpit.
Then there's the possible Sheikah connection to Majora's Mask, which has the same eye imagery as the Mask of Truth. This eye imagery is also present on the Fused Shadow in Twilight Princess, so it starts to come together that the Sheikah were always creators of powerful, and dangerous, magical artefacts.
Impa is SS was dispatched as an agent to prevent Zelda's capture by Ghirahim, a duty that forces her to remain on guard for 1000 years. All "It's magic I don't have to explain shit" hand-waves aside, that's crazy fucking bonkers so Impa must have had some serious magic going on to stay alive.
Overall, I'm really looking forward to the significance of the Sheikah in BotW. It may finally be the game that sheds some light on the capabilities of this tribe of unimaginably powerful magic users.
>Reminder this is more or less a "basic" item you find in the wild and not in a dungeon.
So what will dungeon weapons be like?
>>341552929
That's what I mean when I say it creates a new branching path in the timeline. The Hero never showed up in the Wind Waker branch, so they'd obviously tell that version.
>>341546325
final boss have already been confirmed to be giant clous monster that threatens to destroy the living world
>>341552839
So is this the whole game world or is there more beyond the mountains?
>>341553052
I somehow missed that part of your post entirely, fair enough.
>>341553021
There better be an ice rod. Fire's overdone.
>>341553021
I assume the Sheika Slate abilities are the basic ones and you'll just be upgrading them.
Like, magnesis can start picking up rock objects, larger and more ice blocks for cryosis, etc.
>>341553021
Considering this is what a shrine weapon looks like, I can't wait to see what dungeon weapons are.
>>341552823
It's there.
They kind of take a Minecraft approach to music in the overworld though. It's "Open-air", meaning it's very light, and floats in and out of the game's soundtrack. The world is huge, and they didn't want you wandering around killing bobokins with the Hyrule Overworld theme drumming at your head for hours and hours on end.
It's totally present and strong as ever inside dungeons and in special areas, though.
>>341552326
It even says "Temple of Time" on the map.
There are ruins not too far off that might be Castle town that they just left to rot because Ganondorf ruined it and filled it with Redeads. The broken down Sheikah Guardian machine there could have been sent to clean up the place and got destroyed in the process.
The Master Sword got moved to what is probably the Lost Woods, where it lies for the rest of games in the Decline timeline. How anybody who wasn't Link able to pull it out to move it can only be explained one way:They didn't pull it out. They just took it away from a dead/unconcious OoT Link before putting him in the Resurrection Chamber.
>>341544485
I had an idea from Aonuma talking about showing the towns "spoiling the game". What if they are the towns from Zelda 2, which are named after the sages from OoT?
What if the game takes place after Zelda 2 and the overworld is inspired by Zelda 2 overworld? The beginning area could be the same as Zelda 2, with the temple. Someone with more free time than I could check if what we've seen of the rest of the game matches Zelda 2 map.
>>341553090
Anon, those mountains are just the BEGINNING of what you can climb and explore.
It's guaranteed that even if you get all the way there, there's still a ton more over the mountains to explore once there and find shit at.
>>341552842
>The old man is a gerudo male

>>341549473
>Reinvent
Zelda started off as open world. The first, arguably the second, and the third titles were all open. Not to mention ALBW.
>>341553021
There are no dungeon weapons. The dungeons are actually intelligently designed to be solvable in so many different ways that no single gimmick stands out and people can overcome them at any progression level.
Same with bosses.
>>341552842
>Set in the WW timeline
That's speculation.
The strongest case is actually the one that states that it DOESN'T take place in a timeline. It's its own thing, and pulls from elements across the series like a fat man at a buffet table.

I couldn't imagine it being as big as fucking Daggerfall, but they did show off the size of the plateau relative to the rest of the map in-game , and it looked fucking massive. I have no idea about the basis for that anon's calculations, but 12 times bigger than TP doesn't seem TOO outlandish.
>>341553090
Of course there is more beyond the mountains since you can climb them. The game is supposedly 10 times bigger than skyrim
>>341553151
Not like this tho. I want to throw fireballs all day long. BURN EVERYTHING!!!!!!
>>341549517
Yeah, obviouslyKing Ganondorf.
>>341550162
the impa that mentions that is the time back one. not old guardian impa.
I think in OoT impa is the last sheika. and TP you find what used to be a Sheika Village
>>341552650

Sheikah will be rectoned as the guardians of time, I mean they have the tech at their hands, like wer saw in SS, they will be a group of people established by Hylia, who is extra officially called The Goddes of Time.
The voice calling Link is her, in her human Zelda form. This Link will be made part of the sheikah, that's why he is given the tablet, to guard time by defeating Calamity Ganon, a extra temporal being made of all of Ganons iterations that resulted form a failed time experiment by the Sheikah, which will be now as the great timecalamity
>>341554026

It actually doesn't
I never said the game took place before or around SS. Just that having the Koroks around doesn't cement it in the Wind waker timeline.

Except they don't. (minus the ones that very obviously DO, of course)
And the only way to get them to do that is to put them into some seriously convoluted split timeline bullshit that was obviously shoe-horned in after the fact. The only game (that isn't an obvious sequel) with an unambiguous place in the timeline is Skyward Sword
>>341554121
Game is placed after WW, The pod Link wakes up in, is a time travel machine that snatchedWW true/spoiler]Link into this era,that's why there is no "true" hero in WWbecause the former Hero in this era wasn't able to destroy Calamity Ganon, or maybe because the Hero established in WW went to fuck off to another country to anally ravage ebony pirates, sheikah made the temples to train the new hero.
Also Guardians were made to defend Hyrule in the ausence of a true Hero.

There's plenty of reasons why SS is bad, but the controls aren't one of them. Anyone who claims the controls don't work didn't bother getting the hang of it.I'm not sure what it says about me that I never had trouble with SS's controls, but BotW's controls fucked me up hard.

It can't be. The King perished underneath the waves along with Ganondorf in the WW timeline. Only Ganondorf can reincarnate, not the king, and the old man looks like Ganondorf with white hair.
The white hair could come from splitting with Calamity Ganon. Or maybe he fused with the King of Rad Lions.

Where in LttP does it officially state when it takes place in relation to LoZ or AoL?
That's what I fucking thought.
>>341555149
The more I see of this the more I want to play it.
God it still has 9-10 months of development and nintendo is likely to fucking delay it.
All of theses items were acquired in the first fucking 1/30th of the fucking game.
>>341555221

C'mon the dude was alive BEFORE wind waker even started. Maybe the magic for the boat "died" but not him?

There's no way to save the King in WW. He sacrificed himself.
I seriously doubt its Daphnes because the nose is far closer to a Ganondorf nose.
>>341555230
No one. Gannon hasn't existed since the first game.
Gannon existed in OoT, Zelda 1, 2, LttP
and pretty much 80% of all the fucking zelda games as the last boss.

Fuck yo shield.
>>341555221
We have no definite proof that the King perished. The King is a spirit- he doesn't need to breathe, so why would flooding affect him? He can hang around Hyrule for a couple hundred years until the flooding recedes.
The old man is the Link that you play as in the game. We Spock/Looper now.

>There's plenty of reasons why SS is bad, but the controls aren't one of them
I actually kinda liked SS, or at least, didn't hate it outright, but I can make a list as long as my arm of reasons why you're wrong
So, it's pretty obvious that the ToT has a shit ton of forest surrounding it, and the rusted Master Sword is seen in a forest setting in the trailer. What if the forest expanded more, and overtook the chamber of the ToT that housed the sword (can work for Defeated or Adult timeline)? It's not like they explored the full Temple in E3. What if you can find the sword early, but have to progress the story to get it?
>>341555669
Or just turn back into a fucking boat.
>>341555669
I still don't understand what exactly made the king an immortal wizard of infinite wisdom for the events of WW to happen. None of the other stupid kings got to do anything special.
>>341555859
The King isn't actually the boat, though. He just possesses it. You see Link sailing away on the King of Red Lions at the end of the game.
>>341555802
What if getting it doesn't mean it is good.
It is rusted to shit in the logo.
You are going to have to temper it.
maybe you can break it.
>>341554924
to be fair spirit tracks was a chore to play through
either way, the temple of time here looks just like the one in oot so it might not be new hyrule
>>341556020
That's the King playing dead.

It was probably part of the flood deal or some kind of side effect, also nice trips.
>>341555565
Man, ganondorf doesn't have have the same sized nose in every game.
>>341555448
I gotta say, that Aonuma was kinda hinting that the plateau we are seeing right now is not gonna be the final one. Because every time Bill or Chiko said stuff about what was happening he always said "This E3 plateau".
>>341556064
People have been suggesting that the MS is just a weapon with decent stats that is unbreakable. I think it'd be better if it gets given to you and you're told it ONLY HAS ONE GOOD SWING LEFT. You can then save it for whenever you want, it's your Master Ball.
I'm not quite getting this mural.
At first glance, it seems to represent the three timelines, but I can't relate the first one to any game from the downfall timeline. Or any game for that matter.
Perhaps it represents the triforce coming together near Death Mountain in Zelda 1? That seems like a weak guess to me, though.
>>341552579

That's the map displayed on Link's HyPad.
>>341556237
Using it on the last boss Changes up the last boss fight and the Sword unrusts.
Though I would rather get the ability to temper it like in LttP
>>341554462
It's stronger evidence than your stupid Chu-chu comparisons.
Every other human in the game is a cool old man, the only acceptation is Zelda who's in her 30s.
Link is the only young person human so every one attributes his hero powers to that.
>>341545197
we could always get something like gecko codes to make it harder.
>>341556287
The harp seems to represent the oracle of ages. There's a goron on the left. I'm not sure who the character on the right is supposed to be.
>>341556591
This is probably not going to be Shota Adventures
>>341556557
The Map is stronger evidence to failed hero timeline than your koroks. shit is literally Zelda 2.
>>341556591
nothing you said is accurate.
>>341556287
[gorons and seemingly a gerudo][rito and a woman][occa and zoras]
maybe it correlates to the pieces of the triforce and the power page has a completed triforce because the triforce is power, supported by the other pieces.
>>341556661
Why can't we have a shota console link anymore?
I'm tired of young adult/teenager link.
>>341556625
You can go naked and certain enemies including just the designated 'tough' bokoblins can ONESHOT you. Clothes are armor in this game.

it'll be a haunted mansion.

>>341546780
Skyward Sword's plot was the only good thing of the game
>>341554741
His might have been considered saveable and didn't just want to let him die and let the hero spirit go. They probably also didn't expect his restoration to take so long.
The Sheikah mummies in the shrines were probably involved in putting him in there. They essentially died waiting for him to wake back up. If it's a hundred years time, then that could be enough for them to have developed everything we see in BotW. As protectors of Hyrule and the royal family, it was most likely in their best interest to develop magic and machines to help them protect Hyrule when Link can't resolve the situation.
Somewhere in those hundred years they died off (or at least that generation) and the machines couldn't be maintained properly anymore. Hence why they are on the loose attacking anything and why they seem as old as the rest of the ruins.
Overall, I'm not buying into "the Sheikah's are/were (secretly) evil" theory. They have been harsh on Hyrule's enemies, but they meant well for Hyrule. If anything their previously harsh nature explains how the Guardians are designed to be so powerful, scary, and unforgiving. The Sheikah being good is also demonstrated by how the Guardians are named as they are.
I think it's more that they tried as best they could, but ultimately didn't make the cut because none of them are the hero of legend. This could also play into the idea of "nature vs. tech" some people have. The mechanical Guardians could not replace the gods given hero.

>>341552057
>it's Skyloft
>>341547250
>Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf against Calamity Ganon all together
This is exactly what I'm expecting.
The strange old man will indeed be Ganondorf, who in this timeline successfully conquered Hyrule and became king. He ruled for long enough that he eventually became tired of it, or maybe even came to the realization that he didn't even want to rule and it was just the dark presence inside of him that drove him to conquer. Eventually, Ganondorf became so different and unwilling to rule that the man separated from the beast, and he split in two.
Calamity Ganon is pure Ganon, separated from Ganondorf. Just the living embodiment of Demise's curse, still wholly consumed with dominating Hyrule even though it's been destroyed for centuries at this point.
Ganondorf the man just wandered the empty countryside, alone, for who knows how long. Teaming up with Link will be his redemption, and his way to bring his old world out of ruin.And in the end, the only way to stop Ganon will be to put it back in a host, and Ganondorf will solemnly allow it to repossess him. The final battle will be against Ganondorf, and you'll have to kill him to seal away Ganon once more and restart the cycle.
>>341555802
>>341556848
No. It was said in TP that the Master Sword and the Temple of Time were moved to the forest in order to keep both hidden.
>>341556953
It's clearly not skyloft
It has a fucking engine and it's moving around
>>341557026
Fuck you I'm trying to make a shitty joke.
>>341556954
Oh shit.
It never occured to me that you could CHANGE the landscape
Oh god, this opens up a universe of possibilities

...Extremely modded Minecraft?
Actually, a lot of this stuff they're showing in BotW is also in an extremely modded game of Minecraft.
Huh.

>>341556947

Dark mecha-Link vs Link when?
>>341556953
Doesn't the statue on the island in SS get destroyed, also?
So the island would look more featureless like you see in BotW
>>341557106
Dude.
It's a fucking eyepad.
>>341555943
Thanks bro. I needed a good fap.
>>341557049

I would love to see a DUNGEON boos that you fight with Epona. shit was the best part in SotCNo undewater bosses please, the fucking fish from MM still haunts my nightmares
>>341557049
>He ruled for long enough that he eventually became tired of it
what if he vandal savage'd the world into an apocalyptic wasteland but it's been so long that the lands have been swallowed by forests
>>341557280
But anon,you are the dark mecha-Link
>>341555943
Holy fuck Malon/Cremia is so fucking fyne.
BotW takes place in a time that melds the adult defeat and child timelines together. Its nonsenss that the temple of tine from OoT can srill be in such a good state.
>>341556287
First one is clearly Skyward Sword. You have Hylia giving the Triforce to the people,represented by a Goron, one of the races of ancient Hyrule, like it was explained in SS.
Downfall timneline was just made so they could shove all the retro games that did'nt make any sense. They dont give a shit about them now.
>>341556635
Harp is Hylia harp you mongoloid.
>>341557158
It's not so much changing the landscape as it is triggering a scripted event. The only destructible landscape/nature we've seen so far are trees, grass, and certain rocks.
>>341556829
watch for falling rocks?
shit, now comes the part where I have to backwards walk into a wall for 12 hours
>>341557158
Why else do you think finding towns would be considered a spoiler? This game will be 3D Terranigma.
>>341556829
>watch for falling rocks.
I heard this somewhere....where have I heard this.
>>341557112
So the fire and ice dungeons come first?
Ok. what if... we got another branch.
and WW timeline splits on 2.
the 1 we know is the Handheld 1 and this will be a new time line?
>>341557049
This is the story I've been waiting for my entire life.I'm not ready for it to not come true
which game expands the most on the sheikah?
Guys this is gonna be the comfiest game.
I think this game takes place 100 years after Zelda 2.
Strange though because we also know there was a futuristic society of bokoblin 100 or so years BEFORE skyward sword.
So is time going in a loop?
>>341557638
Breath of the Wild by far
>>341557265
WHAT DO THE RUNES SAY?
>>341557567
it's a level in supermario 64
>inb4 DEEPEST LORE
So I found a standalone Wolf Link amiibo on amazon for 18 bucks and I'm going to pull the plug.
Just wanted to make sure, how is it quality wise?
I don't know why we're asking what the timeline is, it seems pretty obvious that it's going to be taking place after windwaker somewhere.
My guess would be this is windwaker's hyrule, after the water has drained away. This would explain the state of the temple, the weird patches of water, and all of the mountains which would have been windwaker's islands.
Plus there's the obvious fact that there's chuchus, a lack of humans (they all left for spirit track's new hyrule), moblins(and related species), the windwaker leaf, and the fact that hyrule appears to be surrounded by an ocean, etc etc etc.
>>341557698
Now loading
Do not turn off
All your base are belong to us
what I hope lore-wise:
>Link is just Link. Not a robot, or a clone, or Ganon
>Old Man is just an old man and that's all there is to the character
>It's a simple-straightforward story with no tweeeeests.
What the autist in me is thinking would be neat but implausible:
Since this supposedly takes place in the WW timeline with those Korok guys being present, and if this took place after WW, then this would be the original Hyrule deflooded. Cuz y'know, the Mastersword is in this game, and that shit was left in Ganon's skull at the bottom of the ocean.
>mfw towards the end of the game you pull the Mastersword out of a statue's head, and that brings Ganon back to life and you dun fucked up.
>>341557676
i meant that's already out

>>341556287
>pre-SS time with the oldest species and a complete triforce
>post-SS, pre-TP time with oocca/skyloftians/loftwings
>TP era ooca and zora
It's possible the goddesses or Valoo turned the Zora into an established godly race's form, the sky people's form.
>yfw old man drops hints to old players that he's ganondorf
You go to Death Mountain and have to maneuver around (or surf) lava
"Oh how I lava lava. Get it? Well you don't have to laugh."
Later in the area when you have to make a bridge to cross over the lava and get somewhere
"You know, I used to have the same problem. The locals had to build a bridge to get to my house."
>>341557638
Out of all the games that have come out so far, probably Ocarina of Time. Though Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess elaborated on the Sheikah a bit more.
>>341557049
why don't they just put it in a pig's body or something?
>>341556635
I don't see a harp. The Triforce also wasn't particularly important in Oracle of Ages either so the triforce being the focal point of a section meant to represent that game wouldn't make much sense.
>>341556761
The last two panels pretty directly reference WW and TP respectively. So it stands to reason that the first panel would as well, but I can't determine which it would be.
>>341557241
I can't help you with the urn lady, but she's presumably someone from WW. The man in the right panel is the same man from the first, so he's likely a character who is present in both games so that narrows it down a bit.
I can't find the youtube video of the stream from yesterdat, anybody got a link?
>>341557575
the current timeline branch happens because of the innate implications of time travel
Wind Waker has no time travel and his death wouldn't lead to a drained world, right?
>>341557750
The Master Sword in the forest though and not in Ganondorf's skull.
>>341555293
That doesn't contradict my point in anyway, after WW there was no true Hero, WW link sailed away after becoming The Hero from different trials.
You poor nerd rage attemp to try to show off your Zelda "knowledge" is pitiful faget.

Skyward Sword does make the most sense the more I think of it. It feels strange to me that it wouldn't represent all three timelines, but what can you do.
>>341558051
>It's literally called Ganon in game
Good job breaking the code anon.
>>341557698
The waypoints you can put on the map say "It's dangerous to go alone"
If you lorefags are so great than why does AlTTP link have pink hair?
>>341558182
it's a meme
>>341554367
My guess is he has some relation to the OOT era, but in the Windwaker timeline. I'd say it's who the Majoras Mask link grew up to be, but obviously that's another timeline.
>>341556873
Ok get this
What if the Sheika tribe, the Twili, and the tribe that created Majora's Mask are all ONE IN THE SAME.
>>341557909
It's gotta be the vessel of the Triforce of Power. That's who Demise's curse always manifests in.
>>341557937
>>341557937
Where and when was the Master Sword shown in this game? The last the Master Sword was seen in the WW timeline was at the end of WW, in Ganon's head, at the bottom of the ocean. PH and ST featured different swords.
>>341558247
no need to thank me, just doing my job
>>341558269
Limitations of the console
>>341555802
The Sword isn't in the temple of time in this game
>>341557817
Seems like the magi-tech obelisks are the things that are sealing him off.
Reminds me of this and Wind Waker's Tower of The Gods, honestly.
>>341558051
well that's what they call him
>>341557817
holy fuck when did I miss this? Looks absolutely amazing
what if.. this link incarnation is a sheika tribe member? thats why he has the slab, and also is more nimble combat wise that other links. cause ninja village training
>>341557056
No, it wasn't.
pics or it didn't happen
>>341558342
In the trailer there's a shot of the mastersword in an area that looks a lot like the area from LTTP.
It's also on the logo, so there's no doubt it's going to be in the game.
>>341558392
Blond and brown on the snes? You want to elaborate?
>yfw a version of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkYSuWSPkHI plays when you obtain the master sword

This shit is highway robbery, what the fuck? He also doesn't seem to keep his word when sending you on some of the fetch quests, according to treehouse.
It's basically confirmed, Old Man is definitelya fucking asshole
>>341558291
It's not just that anon.
The Sheikah created almost everything prominent throughout the Zelda timelines. They're the equivalent to Watchers and the Illuminati in the Zelda Universe
>sheikah created timeshift stones, and furthermore, the lanayru mins and ruins in SS
>Ocarina is made of timeshift stone, therefore they created the Ocarina of Time
>they created the Tower of the Gods in WW.
>They created the Time Gate in SS.
>they created the gossip stones, the mask of truth and the lens of truth - all telltale signs that they're constantly watching over the people of Hyrule in secret
And yes, there is evidence that the Twili were once the Sheikah, or at least a branch-off of them. Pic-related. This is on the back of the Fused Shadow.

What if the old man is a Link who failed on his mission?

You see that mountain? You can fuck it.

Anyone else is bummed that the game has no fucking music at all, I mean, in the demo they visited a lot of places and none had music, all shrines used the same fucking shitty tune, can we expect good music from the dungeons or even boss fights?, the music played when you fight the giant rock tiutan wasn't neccesarily hype or even catchy.
>>341559576
I mean yeah, it's been underwater for like a million years.
My guess is when you get it, it's going to be unusable, and you'll have to go on a quest to repair it, just like in WW.

Not gonna lie, I'm a little worried about the lack of musical elements we've seen so far. I enjoy the subtle piano notes and all, but I miss the full blown zelda themes already.What is Link's musical item going to be?

I hope you enjoy only bosses having music, ala Dark Souls

Phantom Hourglass takes place after Wind Waker, Spirit Tracks takes place hundreds of years after PH, it's possible BotW takes place thousands of years after that
I wonder if that Master Sword stopped talking because she knew that the heroes would find it annoying....
>>341558902
it's a sheikah glider tho, that shit must be like the prada of gliders
>>341559776
That's Ganon's Tower from WW isn't it?

A flute, some songs will allow you to control wild animals

Does it hurt Fi when you have the Master Sword tempered and improved in other Zelda games?

guess he didnt hold jump

Now, in order to create that illusion, sucking some of the most the most sensational men who not only climb our voracious, fleeting, and illusive and peripheral - and that's putting me on the mountain.

He won't have oneRobots don't play music
While we are talking about zelda lore do you think its possible for the same basic events to happen in different timelines but they go around differently because of the differences between timelines?
because
I have been thinking about the similarities between Phantom Hourglass and Links awakening and I believe that they are the same basic event happening
>>341558342
It was shown at the end of the initial trailer. It's in the woods. Considering the Temple of Time was left in ruin and not moved to woods alongside the Master Sword, then there is only one timeline I feel it could be in: Decline.
It's the only timeline where the Master Sword is in the Lost Woods by itself (ALttP, ALBW).
In Child Link's timeline, it got moved with the entire Temple to the Lost Woods for safe keeping. TP Link puts it back there at the end of his game.
In Adult Link's timeline, it got moved into Hyrule Castle. It was the left it in Ganondorf's skull by WW Link.
The Decline timeline also had a period where Ganon was sealed in a shitty seal and was on the verge of escape by himself. Also the timeline that got started because of a Link dying/getting badly beat up. That death/loss is what left the Sages and the Princess able to only make said shitty seal.

Alright lads, I'm playing Twilight princess again.
Should I play it on Wii?
Should I emulate the gamecube version?
Should I emulate the HD Wii U version?
>>341545853
Youre supposed to hold forward so you roll with momentum. Did the player literally never play OoT?

Wii U version is objectively the superior version
>>341560135
The Gamecube or the WiiU versions are the best.

It looks to me like Pig Ganon riding boar.

The Gamecube version WAS the best, but the WiiU version just takes the Gamecube version and crisps it up a bit and adds more stuff and lighting. So WiiU I guess.
>>341560231
Not that anon but does anyone know if the green chu jelly is still in the game like the wii version?
Had a great sense of accomplishment getting it with the cave of ordeals despite it literally doing nothing as a beta element.
