Why is it that makes me feel worse?

@CaviarMeths

It's not the ratio for WW at all. That sold pretty well in Japan! It started around the time of the Wii/DS.

@Haru17 Cause we all know what's going to happen when Aonuma promises a 2017 release during The Game Awards.

@Octane Delayed to 2019/2020 for the Switch's successor

I swear to God I already know the only 2 ways reaction to this game will go:

"That looked AWFUL! Man so much for those massive Switch improvements they absolutely totally promised, Nintendo Switch more like Nintendo Port...itch amirite?"

"That looked AMAZING! Shame that the Wii U version is absolutely definitely cancelled because of those reasons!"

Expecting that the trailer will be cool but they won't specify what version it is nor will they give a release window. And of course that'll be the main topic of discussion and not, you know, the game.

I ate crow hard back in 2015, but I will eat an entire collection of hats if it doesn't come out in 2017.

@CaviarMeths

You could've saved time and just eaten a crow-hat:

Stupid TGA is way too late, not going to stay up until 3 or 4 am. I'll check back with you guys tomorrow morning. Will this thread be filled with joy or with salty tears from a disappointing demo that contained recycled E3 footage..?

Eh. I'm expecting more running around the demo area from e3. If we're very lucky we might get a launch window (q2/q3 2017 is my guess)

We will see a town.

This would be worth it in itself, imo.

Guys listen up I have a theory...I think the spirit orbs in the game serve as an element of leveling or increasing stats of certain elements of a character. For example the first four shrines are named after the runes that are unlocked after them(ex.Stasis Trial) however, in the e3 gameplay they showcased 2 additional shrines, one being named Trial of Power.

So if there are over 100 shrines there could be 30 trials of courage, 30 trials of power etc. The theme of the trial I think would correspond to what stat would be increased, for example, completing a trial of power and obtaining a spirit orb would allow you to deal more physical damage or maybe a means to progress to learn a new power skill.

If you look at these images to, you can clearly see the monks hand shape the triforce corresponding to the trial.

Uhhhh

(Trailer Spoilers)

See, told ya.

Sorry about the spoiler tags, they're really confusing on this site.

What were you right about, @Meopheel?

Anyway, that was only the pre-show trailer. There's a second trailer still in the show. This is ridiculous, we already got so much more than I had hoped for. Maybe that Fem!Link tease will even pay off!

Definitely - redacted-. Till I figure out spoiler tags

The giant hawk ship brought to mind both the Rito and the people who live in the sky. The trailer was sweet but short. Hopefully we see more footage or at least learn more info before the Awards are finished.

Edit: Apparently I missed the promise of more footage, the actual live trailer aired while I was showering.

Two things in that trailer that got me excited:

1. A actual town
2. The Switch logo at the end

Those two blue women were wearing different gloves. One was wearing a dress, and the other adventurer's garb. Adventurer's garb outfitted with pouches like Link's.

There's going to be a female Link. There's going to be a FEMALE LINK!?!?!!
