Topic: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Just saying, when you go to the E3 page of Nintendo.com you see a pulsating image of the Lense of truth. The same image you see on Link's book. In other words: The Lense of truth and/or the Sheikah are a big topic in this new Zelda. Interesting!

Yeah, the most exciting part of Christmas is usually the build-up, not the day itself. Hopefully we won't get the equivalent of a pair of socks.

Regarding the gender issue: if the player is given a choice then what's the problem? Just pick the male version if you'd prefer traditional Link.

E3 show floor, Nintendo booth. They play that sweet, sweet theme and the lights go down. Thunder strikes in the distance. Aonuma's hairs stand on end. We see a storm-ridden hillside upon which a lone cloaked figure. He or she (we can't really tell, it's dark) pulls down their cowl and unhoods themselves before DAVID HAYTER'S voice growls, "Kept you waiting, huh?" Navi bobs up over Link's shoulder and buzzes, "Meowth, that's right!" Cut to black. Title screen: "The Legend of Zelda: Fi Has Come To"

I have decided to watch it live, but now I read Pokemon comes first. Ah man, I don't want to sit 30 minutes through Pokemon first, I want Zelda!!

True, that should be a full hour of Pokemon instead.

@Henmii Trailers to abate your hype:

Gravity Rush 2: youtu.be/OAXNQveHsG0
Nier: Automata: youtu.be/StXRi5zPPjk
Severed: youtu.be/YTQmfc96LbI

So here's a bucket of guesses:

The title has "Hyrule" in it.
The main theme is done in piano.
There is a sex-select option for Link.
The game is fully voiced except for Link. You can still name your character, NPCs just won't say it.
In the demo they see a mountain and go there.

If the NPC's have voice acting and you can name the hero.... everyone else will have convenient nicknames for them.

One of the being The Hero.

If gender is an option, then the nicknames will be even more convenient (less specific)

They had piano and voice acting! Breath of the Wild! Climbing rocks and trees! Stealth! Horse taming! Burning grass! Freezing water into blocks! New items! AGAAHAAHAH!!!

"Open your eyes!"

That trailer just took the breath out of mii.

That was so amazing. I had low expectations, but that was surprising.

Edited the title of the thread. Finally, a subtitle.

Also, the fans will finally get what the series needed, the option to walk around shirtless.

the visuals were a little meh for me.

I thought the Art Style was gorgeous tbh.

"Open your eyes!"

I'm a little underwhelmed. It looks very close to the footage from two years ago. Makes me think the delay was purely because they wanted a big game for NX and it could have been out a long time before now if not for the Wii U bombing.

@-Red- the art style was ok, but the environmental detail seems lacking compared to all the other open world games ive played before. its a little nitpick fro me but in a open world game (especially if your focusing on exploration )graphical immersion is important.

Wow, the title is already edited. You guys work fast!

I like the title. Thank god they didn't call it NEW Legend of Zelda. It definitely looks like they're going for a very pre-civilized foraging and hunting feel. And cooking? My only concern is that this game gets too hung up about boring stuff like cooking and gathering. Though knowing Nintendo, they always know how to keep things fun.

Beautiful, and so athmosperic! Looks very different too! The game looks very promising, can't wait to see more in a couple of minutes (10, 20, 30 minutes?!)!

Also, watch on Twitch. No lag so far!

"Makes me think the delay was purely because they wanted a big game for NX and it could have been out a long time before now if not for the Wii U bombing"

Of course that's the case, but we just have to deal with it. Maybe its not super-sharp, but it looks nice because of the artstyle!

A couple of freeze frames from the quick-cut story moment in the middle of the trailer:

Ganon confirmed. If that's not a boar head and gleaming yellow head crystal I don't know what it is.
