Topic: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Perhaps, but I don't want to spend 30 minutes just getting from a potion shop to a dungeon entrance.

I love the way Shadow of the Colossus did the overworld. I wouldn't mind that size and set up tbh. Yes they need to add more stuff in from point a to b but they did that game so well I hope they model a little bit off of it!

Shadow of the Colossus' overworld worked because it was Shadow of the Colossus. Most of the things unique about it have no relevance in a Zelda game unless normal enemies are gone in the overworld.

A Zelda game without any way to warp? Imagine if they would have did that in TP I couldn't go from Hyrule castle to the desert providence without using that stupid canon and walking across the desert every time I wanted to go to the Mirror Chamber. Though do I think they'd add plenty to the overworld to make sure that there's plenty to do in the time you'll take to get from dungeon to village or Great Fairy Fountain and if it has enough to discover a Zelda game without any warp points would be well justified in my opinion.

I think there should be no warp points, but you instead get your horse early on. But they also have to make the journey and travel more interactive by throwing interesting (and maybe useful for the drop) enemies, or you might discover a new place because the original path got broken (the bridge in the trailer?) or some other random event.
It will also force you to plan ahead if you want to save time, which I think would be good.

They better have warp points. There's no negative aspect to that feature. If you don't want to use them, then don't.

I don't want to waste my time riding through the same places I've been before a million times. That's such a waste of time for me.

I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. I generally don't use warp features. Warping from point of interest to point of interest isn't an adventure, it's a tour.

The important factor is whether the world is dynamic; if the game is constructed well, going from point A to point B isn't a chore, it's a small adventure in and of itself. A great example of this is Guild Wars 2 - random events pop up all over the map, and while sure, you can teleport all over the place, half the fun is encountering the random events in a moderately dynamic (especially by conventional MMORPG standards) world.

I don't use them like that though.

I love exploring. But when I'm out on the field cutting grass in a Zelda and suddenly the companion pops out and says "Hey buddy, we should go to Hyrule Castle for the 10th time and visit Zelda again now" I'm not going to ride there again. I'm going to warp because backtracking or going from point A to B in repeat isn't something that gives me an "adventurous" feel, it's just a waste of time.

But hey, that might just be me.

I think we're having a different picture of what Zelda U is going to be.

But yeah, if you have to go to Hyrule Castle 10 times each time from another corner of the world, warp points would be useful. But that's not how I hope they do it, I want it to have more freedom.

By the way, has anyone ever complained about the walking in the first Zelda game?

This Zelda game is likely to have a far larger overworld than any other Zelda before, let alone the first one, though.

Personally, I can't imagine this game being made without any warp points. That would be hours of just walking.

Maybe, just here me out this game will have something to fly you to places and not just the horse imagine a horse-loftwing combo.

I wouldn't mind a normal Loftwing or something like that either.

That'd be what I hoped Skyward Sword would be and it would create a very fast way to travel.

I support this view. One of my favourite things on Twilight Princess was riding Epona throughout that majestic scenery. I also enjoyed the sailing in Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass. It's not a chore to me at all. If some random events pop out from time to time in Hyrule Field/The Great Sea/whatever, better still.

I don't see the argument. A warp feature wouldn't force you guys to skip out on any of that "exploration" you seem to enjoy so much. So why take such a feature out? Makes no sense since it's a optional feature..

The journey is great...for the first hour or two...then it's just a chore after that. Bring back the warp points.

A thing I want back is the ability to sprint.

The least I seen Link do was a slight jog. The only time I got him to run was to get the special boots, doing forward rolls, or wearing bunny ears on his head.

I'd like the no warp points bigworld setup, if that means the journey will always be different - the world should be quite dense and cleverly designed to make sure that works in the first place, but hey...

And I like the idea of some buddy with wings, if the gameplay allows for it.

I don't want the stamina bar to return.

powerups. I want skills, like maybe a skill tree to make Link more versatile in traveling or combat.
