Oooooothasumgooodshit
Post webms and comics, never let the hype die
New warping animation, don't know the source unfortunately
Someone needs to post a webm with the ice arrows
>>342738210
Do they have to be related to Zelda: BotW?
>>342740650
well yeah.. it's a BotW thread, isn't it? if not make it relate to BotW in some way.
>>342741161
also I'd like a source on this.
>>342741161
I really hope we get to change the design of the paraglider
>>342740650
They can just be zelda too, I guess, quality content is quality content
I detect an 87% chance of shit posting in our future
>>342742182
>those organic explostions
goddamn this game looks amazing.
>>342742332
you should see how the bodies react to the explosions
>>342738737
so link is a spirit?
>>342742401
>that jump at the end
kek
The only real thing I want from this one is
1. No hand holding. You've been making Zelda games for decades now. Make the tutorials optional, not a requirement.
2. Don't make it piss easy. I know Nintendo is "supposed" to be tailored more towards children, but that's not that case.
3. Give us a cute sidekick.
>>342738737
>Shrine of Resurrection
Link is a zombie
anybody know which physics engine this game uses?
>yfw SS->OoT->BotW

>he actually wants another navi or phi
I'm with you on everything else but I want to be fucking ALONE out there.
>>342742332
man i have an mp4 of an amazing explosion but I don't know how to make webm out of it.
>>342742930
I didn't say make them annoying. Midna was a good cute sidekick.
>>342742142These comics are cute...
>>342742332
here's more explosion (in the end)
>You will never have sideburns like BotW Link.
Someone get me a pick of the Temple of Time's front entrance in BotW. I'm curious about something. Because we know the Rito/Oocoo Slab in BotW is from TP (only truly seen in the HD version). I'm curious if there is anything else in TP that might help us out, especially with the Temple of Time and it's surrounding area.
>>342738210
cute girl
>>342742764
apparently a completely new one that was meant to be utilized way early in the wii u's lifecycle.
>>342742524
>>342742332
here's how Links body reacts to an explosion.
>>342743463
all i have is this
>>342743575
isn't there a webm of when they did the same thing but with a fiery explosion
>>342743039
Gonna have to say our opinions differ, I've never liked any sidekicks the 3D games have forced you to listen to. Although now that I think about it I wouldn't mind a return of animal sidekicks like we had in Oracles.
>>342743946
Bring back the Minnish Cap
>>342743035
Just upload it to my my mixtape or all the other .moe sites
>>342743737
That works anon, thank you. I'll see if I can find anything in TP that would match up to it, give me a couple minutes.

>>342742182
That horse has a saddle and bags, makes me wonder If there is going to be an inventory system connected to it.
>>342745825
Got your back
>>342745879
there has to be.
>>342746043
hnnnnng I want to hold a cotton candy
>>342744568
Unfortunately I couldn't find any sort of connection between the two, which makes the Rito/Oocoo Mural in Castle Town/Market in TP even more interesting, as well as the Koroks, and the Royal Courtyard Ruins (potentially) from OoT where you meet Zelda in BotW interesting as well.
Actually went through the Temple of Time in TP to try to find anything that matched up, not a thing. However the bottom left pic was in the Temple of Time, which is interesting. It's one of the few textures that aren't blurry in the base TP.
>>342746232
neatly done, anon. Are you referring to this mural?
>>342741161
>>342741449

i wasn't hyped until i saw those webms
>>342742142
>check color code
>it's the exact same color
>>342746476
That would be correct, yes. That same mural has been overlayed in the TP HD version around castle town. As we can see here, the base and HD versions of TP, with the mural in BotW that you posted.
>>342746702
YOU WANT SOME FUCKING MORE? IS THAT IS? ILL GIVE YOU MORE YOU FILTHY WEBM HYPE SLUT

>>342747423
yeah fucking right. I'll believe it when I see it.
>>342747414
I guess i could afford one, but heck if i'm gonna spend some 440 bucks to play a game on a system i can't pirate on
>>342747423
please rephrase. i couldn't understand what you are trying to convey
HoW did Ganon end up as a cloud? How did he lose his power?
The long wait for this game is going to kill it. People will get bored of discussing it and forget about it. Nintendo need to market the fuck out of it so when it's close to release people go out and buy.
>>342747786
Probably just Phantom Ganon and the real deal is inside.
NO LEWD LINK PAST THIS POST!
>>342747882
>Nintendo need to market the fuck out of it so when it's close to release people go out and buy.
They literally dedicated E3 to it. And due to that, it was the most talked about game of the show.
>>342747782
>SO HERE I AM
>DOING EVERYTHING I CAN
>HOLDING ON TO WHAT I AM
>PRETENDING I'M A SUPERMAN
Never ever again. It makes me sad inside.
Link is a very pretty male (female)
Please, PLEASE don't fuck it up Nintendo.
I remember back when they started showing Skyward Sword and /v/ was all over it too.
>>342748210
Honestly, if it didn't affect the story, they should give the option of male or female Link to play as.
>>342748251
I got a bit of hands on at E3 and I want to say now that this player is a retard.
The ammo count being placed on the sight is superb.
>>342748424
He already looks like a girl, so who cares
idc. this game looks really comfy.
>>342748505
I do. Female Link would essentially be a tomboy.

>>342741161
How much can you control the glider?
Can you change the pitch and yaw etc?
Want to get my Learn to Fly on
Pick a loli
>>342748881
you can control the decent speed and turn pretty well. Almost like GTAV it seems. haven't played so idk
>>342748838
Straight up
>>342748881
>Can you change the pitch and yaw etc
You can control the descent and turn decently enough but the only means of gaining height that I discovered was by flying over an updraught.
>>342748898

I'm gonna do terrible things to that little Saria
>>342741161
>that sick as fuck samurai haircut
I'm probably keeping the normal hairstyle as it looks the same as the Oracle of Ages/Seasons Link, sans the ponytail. Those long bangs on the side though SO SICK. But if there's any style closer to it I'll get it, with the large tuft in front. It's my absolute favorite Link and also my favorite design of him.

Midna's a fine NPC, but a really bad sidekick. She does everything wrong that the others do, and worse never says anything useful when you do ask her for information.

Well from what we've seen you only have three hearts for most or a majority of the game, and many enemies can kill you in one hit.

>>342750874
>they just stay the same size
eternal loli anon
>>342750824
what in the hell does that mean? You mean it's all a dream, or it ends up being a game much huger than hardware-limitations should allow?
Am a little disappointed the soundtrack is mostly piano/environment sounds as they said. I wonder who the composer is, as Koji Kondo is only supervising the game's sound, not actively composing.
Also

Don't embarrass yourself anon.
>>342748438
It made me legitimately angry every time someone would dry to shoot an arrow despite it being VERY APPARENT YOU HAD NO FUCKING ARROWS
IT IS RIGHT THERE, BIG 0, RIGHT ON THE CROSSHAIR
YOU FUCKS
>>342738210
so are we ever gonna see the Green Tunic for this game?
>>342748857
We can't have link thread without people wanting link.
>>342751060
What if this Hyrule was a hint of all things to come, but with every timeline merged? What if Link is asleep, but thise 100 years were inna dream?
>>342748251
hope you don't get heart pieces after a boss fight.

>>342751140
at least I don't masturbate to pictures of elf boys
>>342751146
Right? The zero even goes a little more clear, so you don't even need to look directly at it.
>>342751093
where did they say that?
that's only for the field. dungeons/towns I'm sure will have themes. didn't the shrines have music?
>>342742713
Wolf Link looks like a great sidekick. Fortunately I have the amiibo but it's really dumb that such a cool feature is locked behind an amiibo.
>>342751146
omg.. where they were trying to fight the big Steppe Talus and kept fucking shooting with no fucking arrows left... so much anger welled up inside of me. This is how you know you hire casual fucking incompetent dipshits that ruin fucking games for us who actually know how to play. Their response and review can heavily affect the game development. Especially fucking treehouse.
Who/what is this?
>>342751049
they turn into this.
>>342745408
someone did the second one already
>>342751549
das me
>>342751160
miyamoto explained that having the tunic in the game is a dilemma because it would maybe make all other clothings useless if the green tunic is the best gear you can get so they're trying to figure it out atm.

Are you sure? I find that pretty surprising.
>>342738210
>hype
>for a game for a dead system
lol
>>342751428
Shrines actually were pretty much the exact same music as the Tower of the Gods in Wind Waker. Also in an interview from like last year they said Koji Kondo was taking the same role as usual where he supervises all the composers as each game usually has many different composers. He's taking that role again, and like usual probably composing only the most important songs for the game. And on the Bill Trinen thing, in some interview either during Treehouse or otherwise, Aonuma stated that the concept for completely open-world came from Bill.
>>342751549
Did you watch any gameplay? It's a monk.
>>342751549
one of the monks who waits for link to finish the puzzles to retrieve the soul shit idk what even.
>>342749810
I played Skyward Sword then Twilight Princess HD.
I really like Midna and yet Fi bothered me. But I still got some amusement from having Fi comment on the goofy enemies of the game. And then I played Twilight Princess I became very sad when I realized that I couldn't make Midna comment on the enemies. Especially since it would have likely been fun provided her personality.
>>342746159
The real technology here is being able to fire through an opening like that when so many modern games still don't allow this.
>>342751689
thanks!!! idk how i managed to save it as an mp4... I got it from 4chan.
>>342751160
honestly, with a green cloak this would look amazing. much better than the night cap.
>>342751873
I don't think it's surprising. They make their own hardware, sofware, development tools, and engines, why is it shocking they might make their own physics engines too?
>>342743575
I WARNED YOU ABOUT BOMBS BRO
I TOLD YOU DAWG
>>342746159
That's so cool
did they confirm if there are areas that make the cold tunic not viable? because if not that sort of defeats the purpose of the peppers. why use them when you can just slap on the tunic.
>>342747782

>>342738737
This isn't any different from chopping someone up and then reanimating them. He literally dies when he is broken up like that.
>>342752030
yes they do. and this is nothing new to the series.
What other game like this can you go straight to the final boss? Only one I can think of is Morrowind.
>>342752287
yeah the higher altitude the colder it gets. you need the peppers to climb high af.
>>342738737
link is a power ranger
>>342738210
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWcrlaTog1I
Call me crazy but when heard in japanese the girl calling out to link sounds exactly like Fi, in fact IIRC Fi's voice was nothing more than scrambled japanese lines.
If this is true it means the developers will put more attention in the japanese delivery compared to the locaziled one, meaning the voice acting will be fucking shit in comparison.
>>342743575
even if this turns out not that great, I'm sure there'll be lots of fun to be had in dicking around with ragdoll physics. it's the only thing that made GTA IV worthwhile.
>>342738737
>literally becomes strings of data
BoTW confirmed matrix VR Link simulation
>>342752287
The spicy food and potions are for when you want to go into the cold areas without the cold resistant tunic. Armor will probably have durability too, plus if you notice a drawback of it was that it doesn't protect you as much as the regular clothes. So you might get some really powerful armor that does nothing to protect against the cold and you have to rely on potions or spicy food.
>>342751160
Probably, but they said something along the lines of "we don't want to put it early because people would only wear that, and we want people to experiment with the stuff we give them"
>>342752535
this is a nice mechanic. you can just forgo the tunic and plunge into an ice dungeon in your underwear with an inventory full of peppers and not give a fuck.
>>342752423
...Except in the many modern games that do not allow this.
>>342752721
ah, that makes sense.
>>342751926
>>342751971
I didn't get to see as much as I would have liked, I've been catching up through these threads.
Monks?
>>342752872
it's not new to the series. most of the things in this aren't.
>>342752556
Or maybe you're overreacting to the only four seconds of dialogue we've heard.

>>342753192
don't you dare touch financially insecure anon
>>342753169
>overreacting
where the fuck am I overreacting, it's widely known that localization teams operate completely separately from the main VA's of videogames, heck even metal gear solid had voice actors spread across the globe working on separate pieces, or do you think english VA fly across the globe to japan for recording sessions? Don't be ridiculous, it's a standard industry procedure, the original voice work will ALWAYS be better than localization, it's not an opinion, it's a damn fact.
When is the NX release? I want this game dearly but I don't want to buy a wii poo.
>>342753192
bloodborne, demon souls and this.

Definitely not overreacting.
>>342753590
They said there will be towns and people once you leave the plateau.
>>342754693
I hope they keep those for major items. That music and sound effect when link turns around and holds the item is something I doubt they'd dare to remove. For good reason too.
when they say that the playable area at e3 only makes about 1% of the entire map do the mean just the temple of time / forest of spirit area or is the snow mountain area also a part of it?
>>342753423
NX comes out in March 2017 (supposedly). It'll be released simultaneously with the game as a launch title. Don't know what the NX is or when it'll be revealed at the moment though. Probably sometime in August or September.

Wait, why does Zelda's Japanese voice sounding kind of like Midna mean the dub will be shit? I thought the dub sounded pretty good, though we can't really judge before release.
You can try to argue dubs will be shit in general, but I'm not sure how your observation about fi is supposed to be additional evidence.

Memories...
>>342755570
no fucking clue. all I know is that it's confirmed that botw map is approx. 12x the size of twilight princess. Keep in mind, the actual map size not the traversable map size. Gerudo desert is huge in TP but you can't set foot exactly all over it. so pretty huge.
Fuck. Why does this game seem so attractive?
I'm not even into Zelda nor most Nintendo games (or Open World games), but this game look charming.
I can't even explain why. I don't know why. But I want to play this game.Also, could this Link be the Link that didn't woke up in the Wind Waker timeline.
>>342755443
Fuck-ing-hell! Is it even possible to cram so much shit into a disc? I know the assets aren't necessarily proportionally the size of the content, but even so...
I'm starting to worry about the variety of the rest of the world just for technical reasons, which should be less of a concern than the design/development reasons this day and age.
>>342755443
too bad that there is only one island
I guess there probably won´t be a water based mini boss either.

He wasn't sleeping, he was sent to a different existence.
>>342755901
Well link did wake up. He was just back in the past.
In Ocarina of Time Link went back in time, and so there was no Link in that Timeline at this moment to stop Ganon. My idea is that this is after Spirit Track or Before Wind Waker. But I doubt that since the Castle was not broken in Wind Waker.
>>342756016

Well the theory of the Koroks is that the Tree seed became the giant tree in Wind Waker, but if this is the defeated Timeline, then the tree might still have grown and created Koroks.

>>342755901
I think it's a better bet than he being the defeated one.
Also, for me is the survival theme. And before some fag comes raging at me, I've been a fan of survival games/elements since shit like fucking Lost in Blue and Troll Tribes back in WC3. Shit's been done so poorly lately it's a fucking shame.
But this Zelda seems to be doing things very well. Some mechanics are a bit simplistic, but I think it fits the style of game Zelda is. Also they're doing it very well.
But that's just me. I think most people are enjoying the game-y freedom they're giving you, which just so happen to be painted with a survival theme. This game is not only open world in terms of terrain, but most importantly, the mechanics are not scripted and the engine let's you do so much cool shit. It's like the gravity/portal gun charm taken to another level.
>>342756526
Man don't get too excited. For all we know so far those islands are likely just that shape and are filled with the same 3/4 moblin camps and dead silence as the plateau. Maybe some late game shrines with puzzles rivaling Portal 2's late game.
>>342756665
In OOT, the sprout was ready to start, but was being suppressed by the curse on the old Deku tree. For the new game to have the new tree, someone had to fix the old tree, either before or after he died.
>>342756173
or maybe they don´t really care about having a consistent timeline or even universe and just try new things form game to game while reusing certain iconic elements / visuals
>>342756873
Well the defeated timeline exist when Link died. Probably as Adult Link. Probably against Ganon too.
So the tree would have been cured and most of Ocarina happened. Except the end, where Link dies instead of killing Ganon.
>>342755443
just give me a really dense forest full of creepy giant bugs like in Valley of the Wind and corrupted forest spirits
>>342738210
One thing I liked about TP was mounted combat. I hope you can do it in this game, too. Especially with the new combat weapons.
Also, who here is hoping you can mount the other critters?
>>342756958
The two last games were heavy on the timeline.
Skyward sword explained why Link and Zelda keep coming back
A Link Between World was a direct sequel to A Link to the Past.
>>342756814
It's been confirmed that the reason we saw so much moblins was because the plateau was just moblin territory and other areas have different enemies.
Hell, even the snowy mountain had different enemies.
>>342756037
Because gameplay.
>>342756089
HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE
IS THIS FROM THE NEW HIMEKAWA TP MANGA OR IS THIS FANART
I NEED TO KNOW
TELL ME
>>342757056
I'm not sure that adult and child distinctions matter in the defeated line. Whatever happened, happened, for years and year and years. Maybe little Link still showed Ganon how to get into the Sacred Realm, and maybe Ganon found it on his own, the result is roughly the same.
>>342757161
doesn´t mean that they always had a grand plan on how the games are linked with each other. wind waker took place on a giant ocean because they thought that it would make for a cool setting and not because it was foretold by the zelda time line lore
just don´t take it to serious
>>342756665
I think the Koroks only make sense in the context of the great flood. I'm convinced this game is post WW for this reason alone, unless they pull out some stupid reason, like the Koroks having been created in another timeline too.No offense
>>342756526
>Being hype for Tokay
>Not demanding the return of the best spin-off race
MATE!?
>>342756787
Nope. Medicom Roh. Far better than Figma but many times the price.
>>342757661
Did you not read the rest of his post?
>>342757586
but where is it stated that koroks main purpose was to drain the flood?
>>342757528
Not really. If Link didnt encounter all sages, then a lot of stuff change .
>>342757564
Wind Waker is a direct ocarina of time sequel though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCKUR_XBNYk
Since Ocarina of Time when Myamoto gave the series to Aonuma, the timeline exist. Her made Majora Mask to start creating and expending the timeline. Myamoto just wanted games, Aonuma wanted to build a world.

Im not a big fan of the series i mean hell i havent played any of the games, but this one is so desirable to me, i gotta play it.
>>342757863
That's still pretty fucking funny
>>342758165
from the demo yeah.
wonder if this will be what phantom pain wasn't.
>>342757848
Link could go wrong at any point, and Ganon still wins. Nintendo could say that he slept through the game opener. They could say that it is just the effect of a game over screen. He could have slipped in the bathtub. He could have gotten lost in the woods. He could have taken slightly too long to return with the pendants. He could have run away and married a pretty fish. His mother may have never made it into the woods to deliver him to the tree for some reason.
>>342749570
BILL
>>342758293
Finished?
>>342757837
Unless I'm remembering incorrectly, their mission was to plant deku trees across the flooded Hyrule in an effort to reclaim the land, maybe by absorbing all the water or some shit.
If you think about the kokiri, they were bound to the vicinity of the great deku tree, so the "evolution" to the koroks and their gained mobility makes perfect sense considering their mission.
That is why it seems clear to me that this new Hyrule is post-flood Hyrule and those are the victorious koroks after the world was normalized. That also fits within this "wild hyrule that has to be explored and tamed once again" theme.
>>342738210
this game is going to be empty as fuuuuuck.
>>342758159
I always wanted a link that looks like that. you could fly around using dual claw shots strapped to your legs. would be pretty fun, family.
>>342758579
>dual claw shots strapped to your legs.
This sounds terribly unsafe
>>342758468
good.
>>342758514
so like every Zelda? the overworld is just for dicking around. the real meat will be in the dungeons. (hopefully)
>>342758293
Let the Legend come back to life.
>>342757175
>Hell, even the snowy mountain had different enemies.
Yeah. Moblin skeletons and blue moblins.
>>342758676
I like living on the edge, babe.
>>342755736
Hope so. The game throws a ton of health items and powerups at you, it'd be a shame if you never really had to use any of it outside of the few powerful attacks enemies might use on you.
>>342758959

If there's no travel options similar to giant flying mechs it's going to feel a lot larger though.
Audible brain farting:
Post WW pros:
-Koroks exist.
-Salt everywhere.
-Master Sword not in the ToT.
-Whenever "Calamity Ganon" appeared in other games, it was after being resurrected from the dead.
Post WW cons:
-Hyrule moved away and started someplace else.
Post TP pros:
-Most recent console game that includes Ganon.
-Conveniently re-released just before BotW, with Amiibo cross-pollination.
-Whenever "Calamity Ganon" appeared in other games, it was after being resurrected from the dead.
-BotW may have recognizable landmarks from TP.
-Sky city has been spotted.
Post TP cons:
-ToT looks more like it did in OOT than TP.
Post SS pros:
-Most recent console game.
-More technology than other games.
-Sky city has been spotted.
Post SS cons:
-Ganondorf wasn't born yet.
Post OOT "failure' pros:
-ToT looks more like it did in OOT than TP, SS, or WW.
-If WW follows the adult ending, than LTTP's Imprisoning War remains relatively unseen.
Post OOT "failure" cons:
-For BotW to follow OOT in the failed line, it almost has to tell the Imprisoning War.
-IFF BotW is the Imprisoning War, than the plot of the game could involve the King of Hyrule sending Link to help Sages to seal Ganon in the Sacred Realm. This would be frighteningly similar in plot to OOT, so it has been done before in a game on formula.
Post OOT in a brand new line pros:
-Fans burning Hyrule Historia in the streets.
Post OOT ins a brand new line cons:
-Fans burning Hyrule Historia in the streets.
BotW as remake of LoZ, pros and cons:
-??? They have never really done a remake before...

This game screams DD so much yet people compare it to Skyrim a lot more for some reason.
>>342763143
its also a mix of SotC, because you need to find stable footing to attack
i am ok with this
>>342742713
you mean don't give us a cute sidekick.
so sick of that shit.
>>342751442
>think you won't be able to have a regular wolf/dog sidkick in the game just without the TP wolf skin
why would they literally waste time on animating that when it's JUST for an amiibo? Nintendo isn't that dumb.
>>342763123
i´m crossing my fingers that you get to tame a giant bird halfway through the game that you can ride like in Skyward Sword
>>342763406
no one played DD.
>>342751442
Still crossing fingers for a pet system in game, even if temporarily, like taming the horses.
>>342763481
Hopefully that's the case. I think you're right but until we have any confirmation who knows.
Nintendo has quite the history of being dumb.
>>342763458
They're probably going for a WW approach where someone communicates with telepathy from time to time.
>>342754916
I still kinda wish the dungeons have bigger chests that have the longer animations.
You know for important dungeon items like hookshot and the like.
>>342748251
I watched the entire 40 minute video this webm is from. The person playing was honestly the dumbest piece of shit I've ever seen. Constantly using their bow with 0 arrows, constantly missing their attacks, constantly spending 10 minutes to climb a mountain and then just falling off of it. Fuck, it made me mad.
>>342763550
That would be awesome, but I think Nintendo have kinda blown their load with what they've shown, mechanic wise. A big long goopy load, but still I would have liked a smaller second shot.
>>342763702
oh alright. red lion was okay.
>>342763580
im gonna catch a lizard from the grass and just keep it, sometimes ill drop him and let him scurry around a bit and catch him before he escapes, if i lose him and find another lizard, i'll just believe he's the same old lizard.
inb4 i accidentally eat him.
>>342758579
I just wanna be able to use the hook/clawshot while shieldboarding for some cuhrazy tricks
>>342748898
I choose you.
>>342760940
I wonder how big that actually is and if there are several of those flying ships in the game or just one that travels through the entire map
you can a ship that looks just like that in the desert footage
>>342763481
Is the wolf link amiibo only sold with the TP bundle?
If so, they might be trying to push whole copies of TP instead of just the toy using this tactic, which sounds incredibly dangerous and more likely to scare customers than atract them.
>>342763945
people previously pointed out it takes on the shape and possible size of Skyloft, minus the temple, also the small islands and bridges that can also be seen.
Very possible this is actually skyloft.
>>342763867
what hookshot?
>>342763123
I really dislike fast travel that's just warping in open world games.
I want there to be an in world explanation that isn't magic for you to be able to fast travel. Morrowind did it right and it's been years.
>>342763945
it could also be the dungeon/city from Twilight princess, with those fucking bird things.
>>342764162
Nah it hasn't actually been confirmed. I'm not even sure if they'd make it a weapon or a rune or something. I just want one, it's my favorite item.
I wish someone would get a leaked demo so we could get different webms.
>>342764064
I feel like those small Island are actaully attached to the main part
I think it´s probably something mechanical that is supposed to look like a bird and those small shadows are it´s legs
it also wouldn´t make much sense for a island to just fly around on it´s own
>>342763804
That got SUPER sexual very quickly
>>342764310
that's what I'm saying: there won't be one
>>342763804
that's not even half the stuff you can do. you kidding?
>>342759540
I love this mechanic so goddamn much. And the simple arrow to tell you how much force it's taking. Brilliant.
>>342764004
Bill was on NVC recentlySeriously I know it's IGN but you should watch/listen to the podcastand he said that the amiibo is currently exclusive to the TP bundle but that "I imagine it will be sold on it's own as we get closer to launch"
I haven't even opened my amiibo yet
>>342764424
well skylost of quite a few islands, all static to each other, with nothing more than flimsy wooden bridges.

>>342764612
have they said what the guardian amiibo is going to add to the game?
>>342748158
but anon...
>>342764946
no info on what either of the 3 amiibos do, but all may offer a companion, since the "amiibo rune" requires you set a target to summon in wolf link.
>>342765016
He was. Adult link is the timeline with no Link. Because he went back in the past to put Ganon in the Twilight Mirror.
He disappeared and when Ganon came back, there was no link.
Defeated timeline is where he lost.
>>342762486
>Post SS cons:
-Ganondorf wasn't born yet.
How is this a con? It almost certainly takes place after SS, and OoT as well, the question is which OoT.
>>342759997
Because that gets harder as technologies become more complicated. Also, Kerfuffle (and brawl?) use a 3rd party physics engine IIRC. I was expecting them to license havok or something.
I wonder if Nintendo will actually use their own game engines for NX, or if they'll license UE4 like every other Japanese dev.
>>342748898

>>342765250
He never died, he just wasn't there
What the picture says, trying to correct you/that anon
>>342751260
I don't think you will
there are more than 3 hearts in the first gameplay we got, but a lot of changes have happened since then, since Link also had a magic metre
but if you had max hearts, it'd look weird as fuck having another line of yellow hearts below them, like how it looks in Hyrule Warriors
>>342765220
better not be something unique and cool
I´m ok with the wolf link amiboo as long as you can tame a normal wolf/dog in the actual game but hiding big thinks behind figures especial once that are very rare is not cool
>>342748376
Hey, I don't blame myself for that. Before release SS looked like everything I wanted.
>Pointillism (which I still really like)
>sword combat and a more mobile link (which they delivered on)
>Islands in the sky (before we knew it was tiny)
>the way they demoed the forest made it look really fun and dense
>didn't know about the hand holding at that point
Dammit, I still want another game with a decent-sized sky.
>>342751260
>>342765527
also I think they learned their lesson from ALBW, how doing the dungeons in any order, made the later ones easier, since you would have more heart containers and less of a need to worry, whereas if you only have 3 heart containers, provided you don't eat food for preparation, tackling the dungeons in any order stays the same difficulty
>>342761175
I kind of hope there's no free flying transportation, it invalidates other travel options and the level design.
Should I buy Spirit Tracks or Majora's Mask on the eshop?
>>342765504
No. He was there. He lost. They explained it years ago a couple of months after.
Aonuma said that Link actually lost. He either died, or missed a timeline.
Child Link is Adult Link. He lost himself in Termina and actually never was in the Adult timeline where Ganon was Defeated and not Captured.
Defeated Ganon came back, and Zelda was alone. This lead to Wind Waker
Captured Ganon escaped from the Twilight in Twilight Princess
Link losing lead to A Link to the past. And the war.
>>342765620
$10 betting the Guardian amiibo summons one of those miniature guardians.
>>342765780
just make it something that you can only get half way through or almost near the end
so that you still have to explore most of the game by foot but can skip all the walking around after you have explored everything and gotten tired of seeing it
>>342765079
It's just not the same ;__;
>>342765253
Ganon origin is in OoT, there can't be a Ganon before OoT.
>>342763123
The goron mask would have been perfect for this game, imagine how fun it would be to zoom around the areas in high speed.
>>342766102
Hnnnnnnnnnggg
>>342766097
That's what I'm saying. It seemed like the cons were reasons for why it might not be after those games.
>>342765780
not really. that's like saying airplanes in san andreas invalidated cars. it's simply different. you'll miss things flying. it's not always about getting from point A to B as quick as possible. I need this anon. I need it.
>>342765802Both
Anyone else hate hot OoT became the cornerstone of the timeline.
You can't do shit before it because no Ganon and if you want a post OoT game it needs to follow rules WW, TP and ALttP set.
>>342766682
Ganon existed before OOT. Ganondorf didnt.
>>342766547
But I'm going to buy the HW second season pass next week.
>>342766682
There are plenty of games without Ganon. He's not absolutely necessary. Link's Awakening, Majora's Mask and Minish Cap were all pretty fun. And I guess Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks weren't terrible.
>>342766748
Ganon is Ganondorf corrupted nigger. OoT is literally Ganon origin story.
>>342763256
Well the Wii U is hacked, so if you play on that you'll be able to unlock it anyway. Maybe use other cheats too.
>>342766850
No. There is no corruption. Demise cursed Link and Zelda in Skyward Sword to repeat the Demise fight over and over. The entity known as Ganon is simply the curse incarnated that took body in the only Gerudo boy, Ganondorf.
But the curse was there before. With Vaati in Minish Cap and Ganon could easily appear as a ghostly form or in other forms.
>>342766682
Easy solution: stop using Ganon. The games are more interesting when they try something new.
Has anyone here actually beat Zelda 1without using a guide?
>>342766389
The cons are obviously reasons to not be IMMEDIATELY after the game.
>>342767374
I beat it using amap
>>342752992
Go watch the gameplay that anyone on youtube has uploaded about shrines dipshit
>>342766682
From that perspective, yes, but on the other side, that means there are a lot more opportunities to tie in new games.
>>342765527
>>342765706
I can't imagine there not being heart pieces. Hopefully the game is difficult enough that even with the heart pieces you're able to get, you still have to take advantage of all the buffs and healing the game throws at you.
Which I guess would still make it so you have to prepare a ton before facing the first dungeon, but not as much later on, so I dunno. Maybe heart pieces will have to go especially when they want to focus on gear, and having to cook and make potions for buffs.
>>342738737
Reminds me of Star Fox Adventures.
I really like cell-shaded Link, but does anybody else find it a bit weird that the rest of the world isn't cell-shaded as well? It worked for WW because the rest of the world was super stylized, but in a more semi-realistic environment it makes Link look a bit off.
>>342767124
Where is that stated? Ganon is generally used as the name of the boar monster, Demise's curse is just a curse as far as I'm aware, it doesn't have a name. Did I overlook something?
>>342764252
Wasn't that a ruined skyloft?
>>342738737
>Link turns into strings of the same glowy blue Sheikah magictech found everywhere in their architecture
Link confirmed for artificial robot made of nanomachines.
>>342767872
The overall aesthetic isn't to my liking, but I'll roll with it
>>342767124 >>342768040
In a more direct sense, the curse that Demise made in the past, is why The Imprisoned kept popping up in the future. When Fi absorbed the remainder, she sealed it away. Even if Ganon keeps coming back, it doesn't actually need to be Demise's fault. Sometimes bad guys are going to show up, and good guys thwart them.
>>342738210
is there a compilation of these good-looking gameplay shots on youtube?
>>342768328
Yeah...I would have preferred if the environment looked like WW. I still doubt any Zelda game will surpass WW in terms of visuals. You can say what you want about WW HD in comparison to the original WW, but a style like HD would have worked great for this game imo.
>>342768590
>I still doubt any Zelda game will surpass WW in terms of visuals.
WW will easily be surpassed in visuals, but no in aesthetic. That's a different beast entirely. WW is fairly unparalleled in regards to Zelda in that field.
>>342756089
source?
>>342742401
holy shit, this game looks fucking neat.
>>342768735
Its aesthetic was the entire reason for its mediocre sales. A console Zelda game will never be allowed to have that style again. America's too entrenched in its ways.
>>342768894
Agreed 100%
So is this Zelda basically TECHNOLOGY: The Game?
>>342767345
Ganon is completely fine. They just need to stop using fucking Ganondorf.
>>342769019
Nope, the fact that the tech lets you interact with the world is what will make this game so refreshing.
This is IMPLEMENTATION: The Game.
>>342748376
>I remember back when they started showing Skyward Sword and /v/ was all over it too.
I don't remember this at all.
In fact, I remember the reception being very split, honestly.
>>342752420
I don't get how people can want things like Star Trek transporters in real life when it literally kills you, makes a copy of your body and another consciousness carries on inside of it.
>>342768735
My bad, that's what I meant. Art direction would have been a better term, since obviously Gamecube graphics can be surpassed pretty easily.
>>342768894
It was just that it was so unexpected at the time. If it hadn't been the title that followed OOT and MM, I think it would have done better. But you're right, Nintendo's never gonna tread that path again because of it.
>>342769032
I'd argue Ganon is even worse, he looks dumb and serves no purpose besides being a big hulking monster, that's not interesting, we already have plenty of those as dungeon bosses. At least WW Ganondorf offered some hints of characterization but overall Ganon/Ganondorf are not great villains compared to what they could be doing if they weren't restricting themselves to the same scenario nearly every game.
>>342769182
A simple mistake to make anon.
Not everyone was crazy about it, but I would have loved it if we got something akin to the Tech Demo we saw a while back. Though the game would have been much more limited if it used that visual style.

Third video's going to take a bit since the download from their server is pretty slow, I'll do that one in like 20 minutes when it finishes downloading.
Jesus fuck the Bokoblins looked awful in twilight princess compared to this game. Also hope theres more enemu variety than in skyward sword. Weve already seen chuchus and keese.
This is sci-fi as fuck and I love it
>>342769502
This, Ganondorf has been used like 3 times while Ganon has been there from the very beginning.

Literally never mattered before. The only time this could have ever mattered is for Twilight Princess on the wii, where you would swing with your right hand and see a left handed swing on screen. Even then, it didn't matter.
>>342770460
This really is a non issue m8, it doesn't mater with which hand Link stabs Ganon.
>>342770061

I would need to see how the artist draws his body in that artstyle before I could choose him as my favourite.
The picture is, so far as I can tell, depicting all the Dorfs.
>>342770573
Ganon is there from the start, I think it's safe to say no Ganondorf in BotW unless he goes turns back into Ganondorf after beating Calamity Ganon.
Come to think of it, that would be neat. TP already did it but TP Ganon was more like an animal than a monster.

Any guesses?
>>342769502
>he looks dumb
Ganon looks completely different each time though. Which is far more than can be said about Ganondorf who they actually try to make into an actual character which really just bogs the games down since over allowing us to get new antagonists each game.
Ganon alone is more like a force than a character. Which is why Ganon works as the ultimate BBEG.
In games like The Adventure of Link Ganon is more like Sauron from LotR than anything else, and the final confrontation is with Dark Link and the Triforce Keeper instead. Yet if you fail it's still Ganon that messes up the world.
In ALttP you have Agahnim acting as Ganon's herald and antagonist, and Ganon in particular isn't even confronted until the very final end of the game.
Ganon is always different. And Ganon's herald(s) and followers changes too.
This makes it so that you can make just about any kind of Zelda game any how that's desired since Ganon in particular is never really characterized beyond "the BBEG" and ultimate force of evil. Which is a really moldable and easy to use concept to work with.
Ganondorf however? Ganondorf falls into the terrible pitfall of essentially being pigeonholed into being Ganon's herald which takes away variety and intrigue from both. But even disregarding that, Ganon is always this desert man barbarian each and every time, and is always way too fucking involved in the story and events of the game since they want to respect him as an actual character as opposed to a vague and generic ultimate force of evil. This has him take up way, way more space and presence in the games themselves as opposed to a much more vague concept like Ganon that can easily be kept behind everything else for the most part.
>>342741161
Can the Wii U even handle this?
>>342772250
Not that anon, but I feel as though the enemies are gonna ramp up in a big way.
Remember the Darknut in WW? The big doggy sonofabitch? They were dead fun to fight. Then you come across a Darknut in TP and it's a big armoured fucker that goes from sword and shield + armour to no armour + fencing with a rapier.
Given that Link can now wear full plate armour, I can imagine some REALLY intimidating enemies that will be doing all sorts of cool shit. Maybe we will see the return of the Iron Knuckle. He could do some cool shit with that big axe of his now.
>>342772392
That would be cool, but I feel as though the sword needs to survive the game.
>>342772619
Ganondorf can't be made radically different each time since they've essentially made him a trinity character on the same level as Link and Zelda. And as such radical differences would stray too much from the mold of what "Ganondorf" is. Which comes to an extreme detriment to every game that he is in.
Just look at Twilight Princess for instance. You had Zant as the major antagonist for the first chunk of the game. And Zant was painted up as the herald of the game's force of evil. And Zant could have fulfilled that role perfectly throughout the game leading up to final evil. And it would have been much more interesting since Zant was actually a new character and was also relevant and related to the new themes the game introduced and focused on.
But there comes Ganondorf and just takes his place. And essentially becomes his own herald for building up himself as the ultimate BBEG and force of evil. Leaving us with a repeated character as both the primary antagonist and final confrontation, instead of leading the story with original characters and original antagonists. That could have given us an original story leading ultimately leading up a force of evil to be triumphed over. And whether or not that force of evil had been Ganon or not, it would have worked. Because Ganon is a concept that can be made different each time explicitly because Ganon has never had explicit and heavy characterization in stark contrast to Ganondorf.
>>342772101
Items are used in the same way, it's just that most items where turned into mask, that doesn't make any difference.
>Locations, Aesthetic, Theme
What does that have to do with playing better

Literally the same as OoT, Link only has more jumps, they only change for the zora/deku/ goron mask yet you spend more than half of the game as Link.
>Songs
They work exactly the same as they did before

They are more developed yes, after all you are in a world where only three days exist
>Design
Any dungeon of MM could be a OoT dungeon, the same people made them
I love MM but it's fucking silly how people try to divorce it from OoT when it's basically an expansion pack done in less than a year, 90% of MM is reused assets. The only new thin in MM is the main mask and some new models.

>>342772579
Not that anon, but doing such WOULD most certainly arrange your atoms and consciousness (because that's all in the brain and if the brain is neutralized or radically re-arranged in some way during teleporting, then yes, you die.)
But this is Zelda, and Zelda has the concept of souls as consciousness, not brain cells and neural electric patterns. So it might just be totally fine in the Zelda series' case, but definitely not in Star Trek.
Either way, I still find it peculiar as fuck that Link turns into literal strings of nano-data whenever he dies or waypoints to the resurrection towers. That implies he is indeed artificial, and made of the same stuff that the Sheikah are using for their tech.

Maybe the map will have similar structure to that?
>>342773182
You need help m8, how can you believe MM and OoT have different mechanics? MM is literally built on OoT and reused everything it had, to save time, the real development went into new models and the main mask gameplay, even the dungeons could be part of the original 12 temples of Oo, if dungeons meant for OoT ended up in WW and TP you honestly think none ended up in MM?
Everything else is the same with a different coat of paint.
>>342773332Yeah.Someone in a previous thread pointed this out and it's apparently the first thing Link sees when he wakes up out of the vat.

>>342773525
Not who you were talking too, but I think you're confusing the terminology. All the skills that link gains from the masks and songs etc are all new mechanics that weren't in OoT.
Like the goron weight, Zora swimming, Deku skipping etc The clone statues, the healing via music etc. They're all new mechanics that OoT didn't have.
Like anon said, there's a big list.

Nobody said "he" has woken up. For all we know, it is some kinda clone.
At the minute everyone's just throwing shit at a wall and seeing what doesn't slide off to quickly.
Isn't it obvious that it's SS Link? SS Zelda always woke him up and it's pretty significant to their relationship in that game.

They literally say he has been asleep for 100 years, even Aonuma.
>>342772619
>Ganon looks completely different each time though
He looks as different each iteration as Ganondorf. The only time he looked particularly different was in OoT (and by extension TP which was heavily based on the OoT design) which were meant to include aspects of his human form anyway, every other appearance he just looks like a giant pig in armor. It's hard to take him as a threat with designs like these, if they him to be some vague force then they would do better to come up with a more abstract design like Vaati or Majora which were far scarier.
>>342774858
Forgot pic.
>>342774730
Zelda woke him up in a few other games, the most notable being ALTTP.
It isn't something unique or new.

>It's hard to take him as a threat with designs like these
And yet you have appearances like Wind Waker. Or the beast wrapping Hyrule Castle in BotW.
Not to mention Zelda II where they don't even feature him in the game itself outside of the game over screen.
I stand by what I said about Ganon being a much, much more flexible concept than Ganondorf.
>>342775605
absolutely haram
>>342776015
t. rstupid retart
They chose not to, and likely chose right in choosing not to.
But they could have easily have swapped out Demise for Ganon. And it would have worked just fine. Both with the imprisoned one and Demise's final form.
But that would have never been possible with Ganondorf.
Ganondorf is far too much of an actual character, and far less of a generic force.
>>342756089
anon you cant toss this in our laps and leave c'mon
>>342775762
well it's the fact that the game is devoid of any real music, most of the time you just hear the grass and the trees, so this is kinda neat that they did something like that.

Why is Link following Link?
>>342776174
you do get a few light bits of music when overlooking lovely scenes and in places of interest in the overworld, there is a light tune that plays around the temple of time aswell as a theme that plays at the top of resurrection shrines, the E3 footage of paragliding over the desert canyons also played some neat music when link landed and overlooked the area.
But thankfully theres still music for battles, bosses and dungeons.
