Zelda: Breath of the Wild comfy thread: Todd Howard is now piss edition.
Chat about the upcoming gaem, post webms, showcase TECHNOLOGY, discuss lore and such things, and just get comfy whilst we wait for the game to come out.

If the Nintendo Miiverse has taught me anything, this game is going to be pure COMEDY GOLDE in terms of watching children become hopelessly lost in a yuge world and discovering the true meaning of exploration.
Seriously, just imagine the endless posts/shitposting on Miiverse to come when kids fight their first Darknut and it decides to cave their faces in.
Can't wait to use stasis rune on a boulder, add kinetic energy to it, ride it, paraglide last minute, slowmo headshot bokoblins into a 360 shield slide.
Also wanna know what the other runes do.
Seeing as how I had nothing but negative expectations for this game, I can't help but be hyped. I expected Twilight Princess with an even bigger and pointless hub area. Instead, they've completely gotten rid of the story driven formula.
The fact that I can do dungeons out of order or even just fight Ganon right away was also something I dreamed of, but never expected. Finally a Zelda game where I can go right to the mirror shield first.
Is there a single video with all of the gameplay combined?
>>341885007
I'd be interested in this. And I already saw it all live.
>>341884724
>"your mirror shield is badly damaged"

>he smacks the skull that link throws
I love this game already. Thinking about what more little fun mechanics they could add until 2017 is exciting.
HOLY SHIT, Is this true?
Any Wii U owners know how many games can be played without a tablet? I'd imagine not many, but I'm really hoping the NX is something like a Wii U slim without a tablet and a pro controller instead.
>going back through TP:HD to get all the stamps
>have to find every poe
>can't check which I've gotten
>have to sit and wait for nighttime
Is there something easier? For pieces of heart, I could pay the fortune teller to show me.
Also, for the cave of shadows, it's basically a not-hit run, right?
>>341885453
I get the feeling that the Master Sword and Mirror Shield will be the endgame items with unlimited durability. Probably some hefty upgrade costs, too.
>>341886629
Maybe the tablet controller will be compatible for Wii U backwards compatibility
>>341886581
>HOLY SHIT, Is this true?
Yes, the V is found too.
And there is a "All your base" joke in the scene when you gain a new ability for your magic tablet.
I really want to see them expand on classic zelda items and implement them in this game. Weve already seen this to an extent with the fire rod, but itd be cool if we get, say, the bunny hood by racing the postman or something and that allows us to run and jump twice as fast. The possibilities to reward exploration are endless and I hope they take full advantage of it.
>>341886629
>Any Wii U owners know how many games can be played without a tablet? I'd imagine not many, but I'm really hoping the NX is something like a Wii U slim without a tablet and a pro controller instead.
The studio went through a lot of trouble to remove the need for a 2nd screen for BotW, so it is almost certain NX will not have a screen on its controller.
>>341886629
NX is supposed to have a gamepad but smaller and portable
>>341886008
cooking mama was a great game
>>341887091
They're not building the NX around BotW you mongoloid. They're building BotW around not using the tablet.
>>341881451
Graphics are literally a 7/10, don't know why people are complaining.
>>341881451
Why would Todd Howard be pissed? I don't really keep up on the Bethesda side of gaming.
>>341881451
this is like Star Fox Zero all over again
>>341888303
because you can literally spears and you can literally see that mountain and literally climb it
>>341888303
Because you canclimb that mountain.
>>341887709
>They're not building the NX around BotW you mongoloid. They're building BotW around not using the tablet.
And my point is that it is likely because there isn't an equivalent function in NX controllers, that once they changed plans to release on both, they had to stop the touchpad functions.
>>341888497
>because you can literally spears and you can literally see that mountain and literally climb it
I still don't understand why Bethesda hate spears. Is it because of cgi clipping? The AI? It is rather strange to have a fantasy would without polearms.
>>341888523
invisible wall? he wasn't out of stamina yet.
>you lived to see the day Nintendo made a better open-world game than Bethesda
feels good
>>341881451
If BotW Link turns out to be OoT Link I would be so hyped
>>341888497
>>341888523
Ahhh, I found it, all the invisible walls in Skyrim. Got it.
>>341889325
How would that even work?
>>341889325
>OoT Link is left handed
>BotW Link is right handed
>>341889487
>Ahhh, I found it, all the invisible walls in Skyrim. Got it.
I never understood why people think Skyrim mountains are unclimbable? Do those people truly never played the game?
Or I guess they are just parroting? I mean, Howard did lie about many things, but mountain climbing wasn't a lie.
>>341889841
Every Link was left handed until Twilight Princess. Now every Link has been right handed. Just one of a thousand things Twilight Princess did to ruin the series, despite Nintendo claiming it was a remake of Ocarina of Time.
i like these threads
>>341889043
The player realized that they weren't going to get to the top with the stamina they had left, tried to recover on that little outcropping, and messed up.
>>341890043
A Link Between Worlds Link is right handed
Spirit Tracks Link is right handed
>>341889841
he's ambidextrous, problem over
>>341889989
If you try to walk on a slope that's greater than 45 degrees, your character gets stuck. Not just on mountains, but anywhere. Even in fucking Whiterun, you can get stuck walking up a path.
That's pretty sad for a game which is trying to focus on free roaming in a mountain environment. Often times you have to walk completely around a mountain and find a path that lets you climb up. Either that or get a horse. Which a horse climbing a mountain slope at 75 degrees is even more stupid.
>>341890043
>making Link hold his sword properly ruined the series.
>>341883832
The other runes we've SEEN have been Round bomb, Square bomb, both seem remotely-detonated, the Magnesis Rune (pick up metal shit with a giant energy magnet with, do whatever with it), and the Amiibo Rune (can scan in Wolf Link to get a wolf companion, and there seem to be three other Amiibo for this game, including a Guardian Amiibo with poseable tentacles. Don't know what any of those will do).
I kind of hope that we still get unique tools and gear from dungeons and that getting free powers at the beginning of shrines isn't all there is.
>>341890043
they didnt claim that but it does follow the oot formula better than wind waker and skyward sword. those two games did more to ruin the series than changing the hand you drama queen
>>341890242
Uh, thanks for reaffirming my point?
>>341890410
>they didnt claim that
The day Twilight Princess was first shown, Miyamoto said it was 'intended to be a revival of the atmosphere of Ocarina of Time.' And Reggie came out on stage and claimed it was 'the best game Nintendo ever made'. Go ahead and go watch the E3 reveal and see for yourself.
Neither statement proved true by the way.
>>341890605
thats hardly claiming its a remake
>>341890332
>only right handed people are proper
Oh you Romans are so cheeky and cute.
>>341890309
>That's pretty sad for a game which is trying to focus on free roaming in a mountain environment.
Howard said that you could climb the mountain, he didn't say you could climb cliffs. Nowhere did he claim you can go up every surface. That was something he didn't lie about, and it is retarded that his actual lies are skipped because people focus on something that wasn't a lie instead.
>>341881451
HYPE TRAIN CRASHED!
You need a NX for it. Seeing it's probably one of the 3 game to come out for the NX, I hope you guys don't fall for the Nintendy meme again.
>>341890925
but it's coming out for Wii U
>Nintendo needs to modernize and update their series!
>Nintendo is just using all these modern game motifs in their new game!
YOU DONTU KNOW WHATTU YOU RIKE!
>>341890925
It's coming out for the WiiU you little fool.
>>341890860
Then you're just pointing out that the game had bad design. Since like I said, there will be a quest on top of a mountain. But you'll spent 10 minutes running all over the mountain trying to find a way up. And the only way is a single road up the mountain. This points out that they shouldn't have even bothered with a game set in mountainous terrain while also making it free roaming. Because its not free roaming. There's only one way to get up the mountain.
>>341891189
I know what I like. I've wanted a game like Zelda 1 or 2. This is the closest thing I've seen in 20 years.
>>341891403
I feel the same. It's just this series will always have detractors no matter what they do. Someone will always find fault in it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnEhZ_PZGsc
Has this been confirmed?
>>341891292
no, its not. check the catalogue, you stupid neggro.
>>341891637
I've been using the catalog. That's how I got to this thread. Stop making shit up you petty little gnome.
>no zelda confirmed
So in a nutshell, items you keep for good are runes while other items are breakable and can be found in the wild or shops.
>>341892296
Makes sense.
Link is now a technomage.
>>341889989
>thinking breaking the game by spamming space bar counts as climbing
Everyone's played the game, literally everyone. I remember in highschool it didn't matter if you were an alpha sports jock or beta math nerd, if you had any interest in vidya then you were hyped. Unless you were on /v/ though
>>341890417
Shit I meant left handed
>>341886008
funny because that is everything dark souls is
only with the name zelda applied to it
the only difference is souls have always been a forced meme, and zelda is actually good
So are they attempting to make something similar to the first Zelda?I wish they would make a proper follow up to Zelda 2
I just hope there's something that smooths out climbing. Link's normal scaling pace is agonizingly slow and the scrambling up takes huge chunks out of the stamina wheel.
>>341892732
The castlevania series are the closest you're going to get I'm afraid.
>>341892893
There are items that give a temporary stamina boost. I'm guessing you'll be able to get some permanent stamina upgrades with equipment too.
Guys, what if this Zelda is set in the future, far away from any known continuity?
>>341890745
>pants-less link
>>341883431
fuck man, i completely forgot about miiverse
this game is gonna become the next "how do i make metroid crawl"
So are we not getting items like the boomerang? It feels like all of Link's "permanent" equipment is this techno magic stuff from the slate and everything else is found out in the wilderness and can break.
after shitty games like triforce heroes, link between worlds, Skyward sword and spirit tracks I CAN'T be hyped for this
This is just Sonic's story again
Either fire Aonuma or completely reboot the franchise
>>341893614
Well, we saw the fire rod, but this time it seemed like a normal, everyday weapon than a unique magical rod, might be the same case for the boomerang.
>>341893614
dont know yet but i guess we will have normal equipment aside from runes and weapons
>>341892924
Shantae Pirates Curse basically copies the skills from Zelda 2. But not the design of the world.
>>341893302
Looks like a post apocalyptic setting just from what little we know. Like in Zelda 1 where everyone is hiding in caves and the world is overrun.
>>341892613
>the only difference is souls have always been a forced meme, and zelda is actually good
When was the last good Zelda game again? 15 years ago?
>>341894025

at least the lore and wall mechanics were good
>>341893750
They could easily make just about any Zelda item into a normal every day thing that breaks when you use it too much and you have to get a new one.
Specifically for boomerangs it would be a good opportunity to have Goriyas who you can steal boomerangs from.
wow...
>>341894391
It's a good remix.
>>341894542
>everything is easy as fuck
>Hero mode is basically artificial difficulty

>40 USD
How are these complaints for a Zelda game? They've always been like this. Hero mode has been artificial difficulty when it was originally introduced.
>>341894939
I wonder if there will be flight in this game.
>>341888834
Because they said it was impossible to add spears to their game and then someone modded them in very easily
>>341895047
>defending a game that is easy as fuck and can be beaten in a day
nintoddler pls
>>341886672
You have poe lamp, which works at daytime too
>>341895136

>tfw it'll get an 8.8 because of difficulty
>>341895047
you can't finish games like OoT or TP on a day unless you're a speedrun shitter
OoT and MM weren't easy
40 USD is too expensive for a 8 hour game
>>341895252
>easy as fuck and can be beaten in a day
That's pretty much all games without excessive padding and cinematics.
Mot games haven't been all that hard sense the SNES era.
>>341895320
I'm sure most of the criticism will be "It's not Dark Souls", just like everything these days
anyone else been put in a Zelda mood by all this hype and started playing through a Zelda game?
I picked up my save in Wind Waker HD that I hadn't touched in probably over a year, and it's been a blast today
>>341895393
>you can't finish games like OoT or TP on a day unless you're a speedrun shitter

Come on boys, I love Zelda too but this looks like shit, don't try to deny it
>>341893692
None of the games you listed is even remotely bad, and even the worst Zelda game is better than every 3D Sonic combined.
>>341895661
funny becaue I would say the same about TP, I hated being the wolf. though I really liked WW
>>341895746
It's not possible for you to bring me down on this game. It's the Zelda I've been wanting for 20 years.
>>341895492

I just want the climbing to be more dynamic.
>>341895902

>>341895838
Aonuma is directing it, my hope died when I acknowledge this
>>341895637
At least we have a year now. There better be a NX bundle for when both launch.
>>341895902
That means you where 3 when OoT came out. Go through it again and see how simple it is.
It's not bad mind you, but it's not exactly a challenge.
>>341896064
Every Aonuma Zelda is a fantastic game on almost any measure
>>341890309
>Can't do the gamebryo shuffle step

>I never understood why people think Skyrim mountains are unclimbable? Do those people truly never played the game?
Poor things. They have not truly lived.
>>341896316
that's nowhere near confirmed but i don't care about the lore just the gameplay. the new zelda looks almost the opposite of wind waker which is what im excited about
>>341896362
Did anyone try doing this in the demo?
>>341896183
I played OoT when I was 17
It certainly wasn't hard, but it got the right amount of difficulty to be a challenge
You can rush through ALBW with little to no punishment because it's easy as fuck
I was just looking through wikipedia and noticed the Director of BotW is the same from Skyward Sword
should we be worried?
>>341896571
Play OoT again. The only Zelda games I would call close to difficult where 1 and 2.
Amiibos.
Wolf Link summons Wolf Link. Is there any info on what the other 2 amiibos are gonna do?
>>341896624
yeah
This game looks promising. "Promise." That means they still have to make good on it.
>>341896624
He's directed the series sense MM. You be the judge.
>>341883431
>>341893437
Nintendo's miiverse is actually pretty damn cool.
Why is it that Microsoft and Sony don't have anything like it?
The whole idea of attaching comments to certain spots and times in videogames while having the option to scribble or attach images to it is as plain and simple as can be, but still great.
Miiverse kind of reminds me of 4chan in a sense, and BBSs of old. I like it.
>>341896624
Almost every negative thing about Skyward Sword is confirmed to be removed in this game (hand-holdy progression, intrusive companion, overly long tutorial, unreliable motion controls)
>>341896870
wat, no, Hidemaro Fujibayashi has mostly directed just some of the handheld Zeldas, and then did Skyward Sword.
>>341896870
What the fuck are you talking about? He means Fujibayashi or whatever, the guy who did the Capcom Zeldas.
Aonuma co-directed MM, but he hasn't directed Zelda since TP, he's transitioned into a producer role.
>>341892034
good she's a slut
Malon is the one
>>341896870
no he hasnt
>>341897014
Also the HUD. Thank god they cleaned that up.
>>341897085
even as producer, all his shit design choices have been in zelda since wind waker but BotW seems like a departure from that so thats good

It has graphical issues like low draw distance and some bad textures. It's a flaw, but it doesn't make the game bad and hopefully will be fixed before release

Dark Souls is basically combat Zelda.
The combat is OoT with back stabs. The first time I played Dark Souls all I could think was how exactly like OoT the combat was. You even jump attack the same fucking way.
>>341898810
That's just it. The only damage to be found is run of the mill console issues that amount to minor nit picks.

Man this game looks fun.
>>341899146
The fire rod is a common weapon you can find in chests and can break. It's no longer a key item to complete the game.
I wonder if Link will get those? Items pr tools that are important to his quest and can only be found on dungeons? Or will the Sheika Slates magic replace those?

>>341899979
>>341899993
Thanks for the answers anons.
I'm very excited, but the framerate is worrying me a lot.
Xenoblade X was a pretty solid 30 until the mechs started to come into play, but here we're already seeing some pretty heavy drops in the very very earlygame.
Can't wait until the NX is revealed to see how much better it runs.
>>341893614
All this footage is from the very first part of the game. It's almost like just wandering around Hyrule Field from OOT, with the first 4 shrines kind of like the Great Deku Tree.
You get the runes we've seen, like bombs, magnesis and stasis from the first 3 shrines, then you get the glider thing once you do all 4.
They confirmed normal dungeons and towns, so I would imagine you would get a new item after each dungeon, as well as a heart container as well. They're changing up the series a lot, but if they remove heart containers and dungeon items there's no sense of progression. I know the game is supposed to be open ended and you can run straight to the end, so I imagine the items won't be necessary to beat Ganon, but probably necessary to see/do everything. I imagine you'll be able to get things like the Hookshot, Ice Arrows/Light Arrows, Din's Fire, Naryu's Love, Farore's Wind, Megaton Hammer, Boomerang etc. from Dungeons or throughout the game. As long as the puzzles in the temples and the bosses don't need particular items in order to pass, they just become extra tools link can use in his journey, so the game can still be really open ended without removing any of the typical Zelda items. I'm thinking it might be something like Chrono Trigger where you can fight Lavos right at the start, and don't need any extra skills, but you still get new skills and magic if you were to play through the games story to the full.
I'm just guessing of course, as fun as the game looks, I would certainly expect to at least be able to upgrade weapons, shields, clothes, and have a few new items to use; in particular I can't see them getting rid of the hookshot, since it could be used to great effect in the new map.

>This item uses the Hylian Shield icon. It is the original version of the leaf Link uses for snowboarding at the top of Snowpeak. The internal name for the snowboard item is "Shield Surfing", indicating further that Link would have used his shield to sled down the mountain rather than the Ice Leaf.
Neat that they made the original version this time.

Someone has already tried to tao-pai-paing with the time-stoped rocks?
>>341901559
what goal do they seek ?
>>341896740
OoT isnt difficult, but its stimulating.
Id say all the titles are stimulating, edceot Twilight Princess. Yes, even TWW is stimulating thanks ti the speed of the parry mechanic.
>>341901338
Sheikas are one of Zelda's race, they have a japanese Ninja clan appearence and are dedicated to protect the royal family, or Hylia in Skyward Sword
Hylia is a goddess in the series not as big as the three major ones but she's only second to them
Skyward Sword spoilers:Hyla has given up her godhood in order to protect the triforce, Zeldas are her reincarnations
>>341901338
Hylia is the godness, the sheikah are the clan of ninjas who protect the royal family. Usally they are half-extinct with only Impa showing up as Zelda's tutor/bodyguard
Just got back from E3 and all that stuff and settled in finally, if someone has a zoomed out map from the demo, I can give you guys a rough location of some stuff I saw was, at least Death Mountain and what I assume is Gerudo Desert.
>>341901736
To fuck Link.
>>341901972
Too much shit have been spoilered for me by the demo, I don't want you to ruin fun even more
>>341901893
>>341901857
so if i understand correctly Sheikan use their tech to protect the royal family . but did they created the master sword ?
>>341894939
Woah...
>>341902329
Link created the Master Sword in Skyward Sword
>>341902292
What spoilers? Irs literally like 1% of the game.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qa3v7VG-UQQ&feature=youtu.be
Go to around 1:50
Apparently all dog-based amiibo provide helpers?
Could you get a Duck Hunt helper maybe?
>>341902292
That's fine and understandable. I figured some people might want to know general locations for a couple things so they could go there first if they wanted.
>>341902575
A 1% I will never get back
>>341902329
This is the first game they use tech
What ifLink is an advanced form of robot/genetically enginered guardian created by the Sheika to replace the hero since maybe the old one got destroyed or the chain of reincarnation got broken (seeing how the word "reincarnation" and rebirth is being used fairly often in the game)? Maybe the while triforce chain got broken; Ganon became an unstoppable, mindless force of destruction, Zelda is nowhere to be seen (or maybe hes just a spiritn with no form and talks to you through that voice in the beginnin) and Link no longer has the triforce of courage in his hand. Maybe the spirits he's collecting is to become the new hero and restore the chain of resurrection.
>>341901073
Is there a logic behind the process?
>>341902554
I think he means the Goddess Sword itself and Fi/Girahim as Sword Spirits.
It's basically all but confirmed that all the tech in Zelda is Sheikah related, such as the time-stones near the Old Temple of Time in Skyward Sword.
Does anyone have any theories about that weird skip in the trailer when it shows the castle getting consumed by shadows? I feel like this link we play asis going to die
>>341901746
And I agree. I think.
>>341902993
It's Calamity Ganon, who has taken over what appears to be Hyrule Castle.
>>341888523

>A 1% I will never get back

Pick up Zangeki No Reginleiv. Basically does motion swordplay far better than SS could before SS even came out.
>>341903185
>Zangeki No Reginleiv.
So, which one?
>>341903115
>It's Calamity Ganon
?
>>341888116
Is that the airship/floating island at top left. didn't notice it back then
Dunno I somehow miss soundtracks which represents certain area and dungeons. But since everything is open world with mini dungeons ala shrines meh.
>>341903285
The name of that "fog" surrounding Hyrule Castle is called Calamity Ganon.
It appeared during one of the few cutscenes you could get in the gameplay demo.
>>341903473
Jesus Christ Nintendo.
>>341903451
>>341903473
Oh shit. Where can I see this? It doesn't show this much in the E3 trailer
>>341903285
longer
>>341903473
Kinda fits Wind Waker's drawings
>>341881451
> casually mention you can climb that mountain

> game's revealed
> you can LITERALLY climb mountains
>>341903473
>Seeing that shit up close in-game
>>341902989
The Goddess Hylia crafted the Goddess Sword. Hence the name
I get the impression this game is all or nothing kind of deal. They're trying many new things, like climbing all kinds of shit, loot, item durability, some sound stealth system, the whole more open world goal, if the elements aren't done well it will make the game a major turd.
>>341903650
>The ground shakes when Ganon appears from within the castle
FUCK
>>341903679
Could it be that this is the one who failed and winds up having Hyrule drowned?
>>341903931
Presence of Koroks seem to dispute that. The Kokiri became Koroks after the flood.
>>341903908
Might be before TP too, TP's Hyrule is pretty fucked by tectonic shift and has tons of chasms and valleys everywhere.
>>341902596
purely conjecture, though.
>>341904065
>please watch for falling rocks
>>341903473
How many pillars are there? 4?
That'd line up with the rumor of there being only 4 main dungeons.
Is Link fucking over the world by clearing the dungeons and "releasing" Calamity Ganon?
>>341903931
Most likely he's a false hero created because the Hero's spirit is not around
Game would end up with him summoning goddesses and drowning Hyrule
That is also supported by Aonuma saying Link would end up doing something "drastic" to Hyrule and the open world will give that much more weight

>yfw the towers are giant laser defense structures
>>341904723
it's ganon that bit it
I'm really curious wether Ganondorf will appear in this game, or it'll just be Beast Ganon.It could mean that we'll get TP designs in Smash 5 again.
>you now remember Agahnim was a Sheikah too
Reminder that you can jump-cancel
i think the Sheikan guardian are cute in their own way
it give a Laputa feeling and i would be hyped if you have a guardian buddy with you
>>341905148
Ganondorf is the old man. Hes misleading you to free Calamity Ganon and become the King of Evil once again.
I added all the Hyrules that I could.
Please note that it is not to scale, maps are hard to scale appropriately based on the differences in games 2D/3D and general sized and roundness of the planet (ie: Wind Waker Island comparisons to OoT locations despite knowing where things are for sure).
A lot of stuff is match up as accurately as I could personally get it and if someone wants to actually overlay parts of the maps or fix some things I may have personally messed up, that would be wonderful.
I have them color coded and listed for easier use to find what you want to find, I hope it help.
I also opted to leave out LoZ/AoL's Hyrule seeing as how I have no relation to where anything could potentially be at all other than Death Mountain, and it's hard to gauge exactly which Death Mountain it is, especially give that it's on the sea.The best I could assume is that it's TP's Death Mountain and that that part was outward into Maze Island and such, but tons of stuff was bunched up and didn't really match up at all, if someone can figure it out, lovely.
Hope this offers some discussion, might help us figure out BotW's placement. Note that Death Mountain and Hyrule Castle in TP match up to almost where they are in BotW.
>>341903650
>>341903473
Slow as fuck anon here but I've noticed something. When you first see Ganon he's stomping around the castle in what seems to be pig form from the tusks at the front, however near the end it turns around, the tusks become horns, and the eyes look right at you from a clearly humanoid position.
>>341903650
Shadow of Mordor
I don't like how the combat "pauses" in every hit, it looks like it breaks the momentum of the combat.
WW had those sound cues when you hit enemies that worked well, this doesn't look good to the game, it looks sloppy.
>>341905485
It took it that he was running around like he was in TP and then stood up like he usually is.
>>341905551
I've seen some really good and fluid combat that flows nicely. I think a lot of it is to do with how swords work in real life and that they wanted to capture that feeling a little more accurately at times.
>>341905485
also looks like a hybrid between pig ganon and this guy here
ZELDA EXPERTS HELP ME, THIS HAS BEEN BOTHERING ME

>>341903185
>Zangeki No Reginleiv

>>341897614
I think they did that so the game wouldn't run slow due to the graphics taking up all the power. They have to present it as a powerhouse, not a pretty painting.
>>341903797
>>341902989
It was Hylia who created the original Goddess Sword, but the very first Link (The Knight who fought in the first demon war) broke it and reforged it himself, bringing it on the first steps to becoming the Master Sword.
http://i.imgur.com/IHibxXo.gif
Holy shit. How come every time I see a gif or a webm of this game, I'mblownaway
gif is over 4 MB, couldn't upload it here.
>>341902940
I think they figured out that a line was thelegendofzelda and worked from there
>>341905669
Yeah that's exactly how I see it. Perhaps as he gathers power it becomes more humanoid?and the fight with him at the end makes him de-evolve back into a pig the closer to death he becomes
>>341905816
Man this Ganon is going to be all kinds of fucked up. I love it.
>no overworld music
>in a motherfuckin Zelda game
Holy shit
>>341905921
>Is the four sword the master sword
No
>If not, where the fuck is the master sword?
Link doesn't use it, it's not needed and no one tells him to get it
>Also where does the Picori blade fit into all of this
Picori blade was Four Swords' original version
>>341905970
>citation needed
>>341906080
Could mean he's gaining more power too. Pretty much every 2D Incarnation has Ganon able to use Shadows as magic to move around and stuff, maybe this is just their 3D rendition of it?
>>341906162
There was overworld music, they had it playing during the Snow Area and Desert Area when they showed it off.
>>341906172
So the Master sword isn't the only sword that can defeat Ganon? Don't they use the Four Sword to kill Ganon in FSA? Are there any other swords that can also work in their place?
>>341906162
Of course there's gonna be an overworld music. And you can be sure its instrumentals will change relative to the zone you're in.
They just didn't put it in the demo, they want you to OoT Hyrule Field for the first time all over again.
>>341906162
there will be music in the full game
>>341906237
It was in the official prequel manga.
Original Link was actually pretty cool, if something of an edgemeister.
>>341881451
How the hell is he climbing up a mountain wall without any tools? There's nothing to cling to.
>>341906378
The Ganon in FSA isn't the same Ganon, so that might be why
Ganon can be beatem nearly to death with anything anyway, but only Master Sword can completely kill him, in FSA he's only sealed IIRC
>>341906325
>>341882046
Is this the most magic Links ever used?
I don't recall him wielding that many spells in previous games.
>>341896998
Microsoft announced Clubs or some shit which is like miiverse
>>341906546
It looks cool and it's convenient, shut up.
>>341905921
>Is the four sword the master sword
No it is not.
>If not, where the fuck is the master sword?
We aren't sure. There is no Temple of Time in Minish Cap for the blade to rest at, despite the Temple of Time being built over the Sealed Grounds. It may have just been lost to time before it was inevitably refound.
>Also where does the Picori blade fit into all of this
The Picori Blade acts as the Four Sword's Goddess Sword. Basically it also needs to be tempered and built into what would later become the Four Sword, similar to how the Goddess Sword became the Master Sword.
We can likely assume that with the Master Sword lost that the Picori Blade and it's functions where created as a replacement and given to the Hylians.
>>341906519
That shit is full of plotholes: the Master Sword gets destroyed, rebuilt into the Master Sword, and for unexplained reason it reverts to goddess sword again after that
I wouldn't also consider it canon since the Crimson Loftwing seems to be an edgy motherfucker and has a different design in that manga
>>341893692
Spirit Tracks was really good.
>>341906529
>20 years of Link kicking open chests
>finally see Link stub his toe
How I have waited for this day! Truly worth 5 years of development.
>>341906378
There are a few things that can kill Ganon actually.
Silver Arrows, Master Sword, Four Sword, I believe in LoZ the Sword is just some randomly heavily tempered Sword and not the Master Sword either.
>>341906634
>>341906634
OoT Link was a full-on magic knight.

>>341886906
>When a meme becomes so old you loop back around from loathing it to liking it again
I guess because it stops being so overused so when you finally see it again you have a little chuckle.
>>341906634
ALttP Link has wielded the most magic so far, but this Link might change that.
>>341906829
no it wasnt
>>341906634
ALTTP Link is basically a mage, having three rods, three spells and lots of magic items
ALBW is a close second
>>341906878
I never really used most of those spells. It's probably why they weren't in Majora's Mask.
>>341906296
>There was overworld music, they had it playing during the Snow Area and Desert Area when they showed it off.
Anyone got a link to whatever video had this?
>>341906783
You're assuming the Loftwing didn't reincarnate as well. Would explain how it went from SHOW ME THE STRENGTH OF HUMANITY to HELP I'M TRAPPED BEHIND SOME PLANKS.
>>341906982
I wanna see a truly mage Link. I've waited for so long.
>>341906982
>four rods
>>341907142
The last page shows he didn't
>>341906902
Well if we're arguing just solely for his appearance in ALttP, then OoT Link beats him.
If we're arguing just for that Link, then most definitely he wins be a mile, hell he wins period against all Links. Only the Hero of Time, SS Link's Sword skills, and TP Link's brute strength would likely have a match.
Will you need a Wii U to play this
>>341907245
>TP Link is stronger than Ganondorf
Really shows being buff doesn't mean shit
>>341881451
god it looks like a fucking ps2 game
>Nintendo will never produce a 1080p60 version of their titles for Sony/MS consoles or PC versions
>>341907238
Them I honestly hope it's canon, because the though of that edgy bird getting trapped by some planks is hilarious.
>>341907407
no, you can buy a NX
>>341907407
Nah, a Nintendo 64 will do fine
>>341907408
TP Link is stronger than a giant Goron
>>341907407
it will be reeleased on WiiU and NX
>>341907407
No, you can get a NX too.
Made this awhile ago and never finished it sadly. But it's generally got most of the shit the Links do.
ALBW Link
FSA Link
MC LInk
Those are the three I didn't get around to doing. I know I think ALttP/LA/OoA/S Link is missing some items though.
>>341899310
>>341899409
It's literally a giant version of Mario's fireballAnd I like it
>>341892034
Yeah i got so caught up in all the footage i totally forgot about her
I wonder what she looks like, i hope she's a cutie
>>341907245
OoT Link only has 3 spells, the lens of Truth, the magic spin attack and 3 magic arrows.
ALttP Link wields the three medallions, two rods, two canes, an invisibility cape, beam sword, magic powder and the lantern (which might be magical, who knows)
>>341907652
this is very poorly made
>>341907408
To be fair TP Link is insanely strong, dude is likely as strong as the Hero of Time with the golden gauntlets was.
But Items/Magic > Strength/Skill.
Same for SS Sword, we seem him cut down Demise's army at the end of the game like it's nothing, but it doesn't mean shit when you have two Link's fighting each other with Quakos Medallion and Din's Fire.
>>341907419
>god it looks like a fucking ps2 game
So does this. And it still has better art design than all the grimdark shooters Sony and MS announced. Despite having SD resolution.
>>341907652
You can add ALBW stuff under ALTTP Link since he's basically confirmed to be Granps
ALBW Link also has some good stuff from TH costumes but he can only wear one
>>341907202
>>341906982
>>341907014
>>341906634
As much as I'd like to see a mage link, it's never really been his thing. He's always been the quintessential adventurer, using tons and tons of weapons. Almost all his 'magic' is him using an enchanted item, with a few exceptions. He might have the ability to use magic, but the only spells I can recall him using that were implied to be magic were the OoT spells.
>>341907779

are there any worthwhile mods for any of those zeldas? like being able to map multiple items/weapons at once?
or adding in gameplay tweaks like rolling, etc.? I just can't get into them because the gameplay is so dull, and it's largely due to the hardware limitations.
>>341907875
Yeah but they aren't the same Link though, so far we have 9 Links (not counting BotW and HW Links).
SS Link
MC Link
OoT/MM Link
WW/PH Link
ST Link
TP Link
FSA Link
ALttP/LA/OoA/S Link
LoZ/AoL Link
>>341907848
Yeah, but I've never really bought the 'Link is a Master Swordsman' thing. I mean, he is, but it should be secondary to the 'Link is a cheesy fuck who walks around with an armory of OP magic items in his pocket to win'.
Which is why this game looks great.
>>341884724
>I want to be able to fight the final boss straight away so I can get this game over with
Okay
>I'm glad I can choose which order I do the dungeons even though I will presumably do them all anyway
Okay
Open world is a stupid meme.
>>341907652
This reminds me, there was a comparison someone made between all the swords in the Zelda series to find out which one was the strongest. Went through every single game (or at least all the 3D ones) and every sword, crunched some numbers, and came up with a definitive answer. I think it was on some other website.
Surely someone knows what I'm talking about?
>>341908048
Fierce Deity isn't that strong
IIRC Completely buffed ALTTP/ALBW are as strong as him and have shield weilding and superior tunic defence
The most powerful Link is Child Link from Majora's Mask. He can transform into a mighty Goron, a swift Zora or a dinky Deku. He can command the forces of time. He can transform into an unstoppable deity.
Twilight Princess Link is just stupidly strong for some reason, overpowering just about everything that comes his way. Those sword techniques of his are pretty broken too.
>See that mountain?
>You can set it all on fire!
So are you guys excited for the new Metroid?
the stasis ability seems cool as fuck
>>341908131
No, what I meant is the Link in ALTTP would grow up to be gramps in ALBW

>>341908076
I'm sure there is somewhere, but I've never personally bothered with them.
Most of those games you can get the Pegasus Boots/Seeds that allow you to run fast and get to places far far quicker, and eventually for most you do get something to teleport around.
Also to note, there is no roll in BotW so far (unless it's a Shrine Unlock).
this game is beautiful
>>341908048
Fierce Deity is pretty magical.
>>341907982
>Xenoblade X
Don't remind me. Game was a huge letdown i comparison to it's predecessor. Cross was that exact wrong point where a character has no personality to make them interesting, but also no ability to make any real choices to allow the player to roleplay them well and make them interesting.
>>341908214
I'm pretty sure they can't rampage through a three phase final boss like that. Fierce Deity projectiles are clearly meant to be stronger.
>>341908276
It was released 2-3 weeks ago. It's called DOOM.

They really are trying to do everything the fans asked for. Which scares me since that has led to some of the worst Nintendo games in the past. But even if this game does everything fans ask for, they'll complain about it.

Fierce Deity Link has stupidly strong sword beams, and if I recall correctly, there's no limit. He doesn't have to be at full health to use it.
I mean, shit, unless you're actually TRYING to lose, I don't think it's possible to die with that shit on.
>>341908384
not really what I was asking, but whatever.
>no roll in botw
ah, that seems strange to remove.
maybe you'll get moves along the way like TP.
>>341908612
Not him but I haven't liked a game after TP myself. I am excited for this though.
>>341908170
Well you could argue Hero's Shade, WW Link, and TP Link end up pretty good at sword play. You could argue that for SS Link too considering his ability to do precision based skills, which is really what sword play is all about, the ability to precisely hit your opponent and end it as quick as possible.
>>341908185
I do, I wanna say it was the Golden Sword in ALttP.
>>341908590

>>341908513
I fucking love Doom 4 but it's no Metroid Prime.
>>341908742
Yeah sorry, you'll just have to look up some mods, I personally have no idea if there are for some of the older/2D games.
I want to say no without changes to the game as well to compensate for it and it just turns into a slightly different game.
>>341908590
Play one?

Legend of Zelda (NES)/Majora's Mask
After that play whatever but this should be an easy enough order to get into it without a problem.
>>341908771
I believe the order of weapon strength goes.
ALttP Medallions
OoT Light Arrows
MM Double Helix Sword
ALBW Purple Potion
ALttP Golden Sword

Really? You didn't like Between Worlds?
>>341909179
Wind waker's good
I've played all of them but SS and phantom hourglass, Link's awakening is one of my favorites.
>>341881451
I hope you can ride other animals.
I wanna equip the cloak, ride an elk and go full princess mononoke
I'm still skeptical until I see actual dungeons/towns.
hope they're not making it too open ended/like a wrpg. hate roll your own adventure stuff.

Does anyone else think the combat look too easy? The enemies are basically retards. It just seems so fucking easy. Of course I'm not counint the bosses, but the regular enemies shown so far telegraph every single move they make, are slow and you can stun them with each his. It's just so easy.
>>341909294
That's interesting.
>>341909404
If I'm allowed to ride a boar like TP without it freaking out, I definitely will.
I shall tame Ganon's wild people.
>>341909420
towns are probably going to be boring or very generic, but based on shrines and some of the overworld stuff dungeons should be really good.
>>341909179
A Link to the Past is the best starting point
>>341902907
Well, the game takes place in the same timeline as Wind Waker. Which is the adult timeline from OOC, which is the timeline where after defeating Ganondorf/Ganon, Link disappears as Zelda sends him back to his childhood in another timeline. Without Link around, Ganondorf returns and starts wrecking shit, which is what prompts the three godesses to flood Hyrule. Then WW happens, then Phantom Hourglass, then Spirit Tracks.
Breath of the Wild likely takes place long time after Spirit Tracks, when the three godesses 'lift' the flood from Hyrule.
How "Calamity Ganondorf" fits into all of this, and what happens to "New Hyrule" established by Spirit Tracks fits into all of this, I don't know. And who 'this' Link really is, I also don't know, but it goes without saying that this is on the WW timeline, because of those creatures whose name I forgot, who are the descendants of the Deku kids or w/e.
>>341909120
>Breath of the Wild Link will probably be the strongest Link yet
>>341909420
There's a core story, but only if you choose to follow it. According to Aonuma, you can choose to completely ignore the story and mysteries of the world and just go straight to the final boss.
However, he states that he doesn't believe this is the best way to play the game, and also that you'd have to be either extremely good at the game or just plain crazy if you're gonna try something like that.
>>341909225
>gold sword
>strong
>>341909531
It's still a 3D Zelda, of course it's too easy.
>>341909531
They're not all dumb, thankfully. Archers will actually try to pick you off from a distance, regardless if you can see them or not. If there's an explosive barrel nearby, disarmed Bokoblins will make a beeline for it.
I just hope Bokoblins aren't all we get.
>>341909531
They also said numerous times that the demo is only the starting area and that enemies get more varied and difficult in the world.
>>341905321
nice work, really
so does every weapon break? there's no default sword that never breaks when you first start out? it would be nice to be able to buy and carry around some sort of kit where you can keep reinforcing weapons as you need to. like that one sword in MM.
>>341909637
As long as that strength comes from tons of exploration and item collection, then it will be done correctly. No more of story cutscenes giving you exactly the item you need and then you're suddenly stronger than Ganon.
Yes, Yes. Well done, Nintendo. Well done, Nintendo.HOWEVER
>>341909531
so like every other Zelda then.
>>341909972
Considering how easy it is to get equipment I don't think it's TOO big of a deal, though it does raise the question what are you supposed to do if you're completely out of weaponry? Can you just punch people? Disarm/steal weapons right out of an enemies hands? Just run around till you find one lieing about?
>>341910084
you aren't funny
>>341909972
The master sword probably won't break though it would actually be kind of cool if it did
>>341909687
>2d zeldas
>hard
kek
>>341909972
The Master Sword is probably gonna be unbreakable once you find and restore it.
>>341909851
There are thounsands of RPGs out that that have starting areas with enemies that will wreck your shit up if you don't play well. I'm not even talking about Dark Souls. Even Pokémon offer some challenge in the beginning with Growl cutting your attack stat and then spamming tackle all over your face.
This time Link just goes there, finds five enemies hanging out and moves his sword hitting all of them and killing them in three seconds.
>>341909972
I imagine the Master Sword or certain other weapons will be indestructible, but I'm cool with all common weapons early on having durability. Emphasizes the whole "survival" aspect of the game.
>>341910197
I don't think it will "break" but I bet it can lose god power and you have to recharge it.
>>341909593
>boring or very generic
so like every other Zelda then.
meh.
come to think of it, most games like this do towns poorly. I can't think of a single compelling one. they're always just full of mindnumbing fetch quests.
>>341908260
What were they thinking showing it off like this? All it did was encourage a year and a half of shitposting
Give me your best webums to convince me to buy the console for this game
>>341909294
>meteor reflects off the water even at that distance
nice
>>341909531
Yeah, I don't have high hopes for combat. It's a damn shame because it actually looks like they put in some cool things to do combat wise, yet it falls back to the same problem that every Zelda game does in that the enemies die to you repeatedly spamming A.
Some enemies go against this of course by making their methods of defeat gimmicks in of themselves, I.E. Skultulas who you need to wait to turn their backs or Stalfos who you need to simply block their attack with a shield then attack back, but it still ends up being rather simple.
Really, shields should have poor durability, attacks should do 1/2 a heart instead of 1/4, and enemies should be more aggressive.
Also, you should have to eat in real time. Being able to pause and eat food to restore health is actually my biggest complaint with the game. A shame since Skyward Sword had drinking potions in real time. A real step back IMO.
>>341908542
Hyrule is fucked up in this game
>>341909651
I don't like that.
>>341910289

Are you serious?
Even with growl you can just spam attacks since they give you tons of free healing items
>>341910289
>here are thounsands of RPGs out that that have starting areas with enemies that will wreck your shit up if you don't play well
Did you not see the stone golem or guardian that was also present in the starting area?
>>341910365
you shouldn't buy a console for just one game
SO, have we seen any motherfucking CUCCO in the demo yet?
How much fun will they have with them?

>>341910089
So, what, there's two Hyrules now? The new one in ST and the old one unflooded in BotW?
>>341909945
Thanks, doesn't seem a lot of people want to discuss it though, that's fine. I enjoy doing stuff like this either way, I find it fun, if not autistic as hell.
>>341908214
Majora's Mask is possibly one of the strongest enemies in the series lorewise, considering it was able to bring down a country sized (at the bare minimum) moon by itself. Fierce Deity stomps it.

>reggie thinks midna is the best sidekick
Good taste.
What do you guys think of Kojima's new Zelda game?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XDAjfYsIgQ
>>341910520
this isnt an interview
>>341910509
so.... two games?
three? what's the tipping point?
>>341910701
Well, there could be cool-ass weapons like the fire rod out there, which aren't "the best" but are unique in how they're used.
Besides, since the Master Sword is rusted and apparently not essential for progression, I doubt you can find it and use it immediately, as with any other Zelda.
>>341910520
That random guy next to reggie needs to get a better suit
>>341910289
There are a bunch of those mecha octorok guardians in the starting area of BotW, I ran into one and it fucked me up. It's like running into one of those unique god monsters in Xenoblade.
>>341884724
>The fact that I can do dungeons out of order
Have they ever explicitly confirmed that you could do the MAIN dungeons out of order? It seems likely, but I think that's just guesswork on our part right now.
>>341910820
There could be multiple Hyrules actually.
TP's Hyrule has been clearly devastated, there are chasms, valleys. Likely all due to Earthquake damage, however by the time of FSA adventure the land is once again whole and it's clearly and island.
The same holds true for ALttP and beyond, all of them are connected to the sea in some way, as it's how ALttP Link gets to the continents in OoA/S and ends up in the Wind Fishes dream, we also clearly see LoZ/AoL's Hyrule bordering an ocean, we can compare this to OoT's Map which we see nothing of the sort. Again we also see BotW's Hyrule having a sea, it is conveniently on the east side just like LoZ/AoL's Hyrule is.
>>341909687
I'm holding out for more difficult ones outside of the plateau. I have hope due to the bosses instakilling you in the starting area.
Aside from new stuff, I'd like to see armoured Darknuts, Iron Knuckles, and Lynels return.
>>341910561
>"Users may not actually get the full story depending on how they play this game and how they strategize and solve puzzles," producer Eiji Aonuma told Polygon. "Users are able to go to the very end goal without revealing why Link woke up the way he did and where he did. Whether you want to reveal the storyline and find out why Link woke up, or you want to just go straight to the goal, that's an option totally up to the user."
>When asked, Aonuma confirmed that a player could go directly to the final boss of the game from its opening moments if they wanted. However, he also stressed that he didn't view this as an ideal way to play.
>"Anybody who can go straight to the goal without doing anything else — there's two possibilities," Aonuma said. "Either they're a really good gamer, or they could be somebody that's a little bit crazy. But it's not impossible. I created the game like that.

>>341911217
Isn't it actually not likely that the old man is Ganon then? The theory is based on Link doing shit to free him/give him back his true power, but if Link can just stroll into the castle and beats Calamity right there, counting as beating the game, I can't forsee him being the actual boss.

That webm is showing a DDO only class, you can see some of the monster types that were present in DD like ogres, drakes and living armours in that particular video. There's a lot of recycled monsters from the first game in the MMO.

how could it? ST is a totally different continent
What if this game is set right 100 years after OoT in the Decline timeline?
Link is a revived Hero of Time
Ganon is sealed because of the bullshit the sages pulled when Link failed, trapped by the castle where said battle took place

>>341913009
100 years after OoT is too early. That's ALttP or some other game in the timeline.
100 after Zelda 2 would be more plausible.
>>341911954
Death Moutain, Ganon is under there
Remeber Zelda 1?
Since we still have no idea when this game takes place, let's get some obvious things out of the way.
>It can not take place any time before OoT as Ganon exists
>There is a mural that depicts the Rito from the Adult Timeline and the Oocoo from the Child Timeline (however they likely exist within all timelines as they are evolved Skyloftians)
>However it can't take place after WW as the islands in WW are the tops of Mountains, the geography matches up in no way
>The Great Deku Tree in WW also said that Kokiri once took the form of Koroks prior to WW, this means it's not a Great Sea specific occurrence
>The Sheikah exist, which they only exist in the Failure and Child Timelines post-OoT
>Death Mountain and Hyrule Castle match up to where they are in TP based on the Temple of Time's Location
>There is no Temple of Time in the Failure Timeline, and seemingly not one in the Adult Timeline either
>However by TP the Temple of Time is not more than a few ruins surrounded by Forest
>We know Ganon is not in the Dark World, nor does he have his full power however
>There is a sea to the East in BotW, this exists within FSA and LoZ/AoL's Hyrules for sure
>We can rule out New Hyrule in ST
This leaves us with a few options.
>BotW takes place in between OoT and ALttP in the failure timeline. (Unlikely)
>BotW takes places in between OoT and TP in the child timeline
>BotW takes place in between ALBW and LoZ in the failure timeline (Unlikely)

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is “Zelda 3.” Or rather, it takes place after Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link. Breath of the Wild should take place after Link’s first adventure on the NES and after his return to Hyrule to prevent Ganon’s return.

it was Midna's game. Zelda was just there as the big good.
>>341913283
fuck is rito
>>341909218
I'd say play Skyward Sword as well. It would give him a good idea of how story based and linear the game before BotW was.
>>341913564
I think it's just conjecture, but it seems pretty plausible
Since Link can stealth now what things you like to see in the new zelda that are typically of stealth games? i like to see different outfits thats helps your camouflage in diferent terrains

The Evolved Zora in WW, the bird people.
>>341913283
This is gonna a Zelda in the future far after the events of WW and ST, it will try to converge as many features and elements from the other time lines as possible and create a single one and build from there.
>>341913283
It's easier to do it this way.
>It can't take place before OoT
>It can't take place anywhere between ALttP and ALBW
>It can't take place anywhere between WW and ST
Personally I think it takes place in between ALBW and LoZ and this is the story of Zelda I and her slumber that we see in LoZ/AoL.
>>341914453
There's nothing to tell about it: Link didn't have any hand on it: a prince screwed up and that's it
>>341914207
Explain the Temple of Time
>>341914314
Possible, but I doubt it. If it was New Hyrule then why does it have Old Hyrule stuff? Why are the Sheikah still alive even though they're extinct in this timeline?
>>341912116
I hope we'll get JPN voices. Can't stand that english voice already
