Topic: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Hmmm...the forest temple as big as Hyrule Field in OoT? That's actually not that big. Give me Twilight Princess' Hyrule Field and then we're talking.

I don't know that seems a little to big and would probably be a pain to get around. Unless it had a spinner mechanic or you could take your horse in the dungeons and use it for puzzles which would be awesome.

Honestly, I'm really hoping that it's story-lite like the original NES game. No hour long story foundation build, no hours worth of cutscenes. Just (Start Game) > Here's a sword, go save Hyrule. Where are you supposed to go? Don't ask me, I'm just a weird old hermit in a cave.

But the character in the trailer didn't have a sword, just a bow...
ZELDA CONFURMD!

But he does have a sword....

Link had both a sword and shield in the trailer. They were both on the horse.

I only saw a shield, and so did GameXplain... where can I see it?

Right next to/beneath the backpack.

@Kewlan There was a Sword I saw it like the second time I watched the trailer.

GAH! You're right!
Female Link confurmd!

Someone even made a video specifically showing it? ._.

Wow, Gamexplain is usually pretty good about finding minor details, pretty funny how they missed that

I hope there is a new instrument in this game too just because they use it really well in the series well sometimes they don't (Spirit Tracks) but having and ocarina, a guitar, or some other not so popular instrument would be great and some sidequests relating to it.

The ocarina was ideal because of its small size. Anything larger than that isn't very portable.

Well it's not like we will be putting it in our virtual pocket.

Dude Link has carried around bombs, multiple swords and a whole arsenal of crap he can carry around other things or since it looks like storing things on your stead is a new feature he could just put it there. It could be anything except for something like a tuba or trumpet that would be weird.

Animal Crossing meets Zelda?

That's certainly something that sounds interesting.
Apart from clearing dungeons and finding heart pieces, doing other things such as completing certain tasks to upgrade your equipment would be cool. Skyward Sword did that, and I really liked that, but I think it can be done in a more interesting way.

Also, in the trailer Epona, or just the horse, were carrying lots of stuff which it hasn't in previous games, if I'm correct. Maybe that's a hint to something related to collecting stuff?

Yeah adding a blacksmith to the game would be awesome but the way smithing works should change with no durability bar or dulls after 100 strikes mechanic make it like ALBW and the sword/weapons just get upgrades and until they are upgraded again they stay where the stats they have indefinitely and the horse did show of shome interesting things like what looked to be a sleeping bag or tarp makes you think just how much your inventory will be this time around hopefully bigger than any game so far.

If this will be bigger then any game thus far we will be looking at a release date somewhere around 2017. No thanks. Give me Something about 2 to 3 times the size of Twilight Princess and I'm happy! Morrowind would be really nice size!

What if Link is a blacksmith himself in this game? I believe Between Worlds showed him learning to be a smith or something
