Topic: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Looks the same:

Naw, I mean the outermost clouds. They look fragmented and broken up. Not like a solid ring.

Well it is constantly moving. Watch that timelapse video. You probably just happened to see it at a particular time on that Switch version.

Or Link in the Tonight show version has defeated the whatever is lingering there boss, and the clouds reflect that. Just like in other Zelda's.

Yep..

Clouds look the same to me, nothing unusual.

When has Haru NOT been crazy?

They look the same to me as well, tbh.

Is it me or has the grass grown about 2.2421 inches in Switch footage from the Wii U version?

@Dezzy Yes, and it's started glowing like all of the shrines too.

How many towns do we think there'll be in the final game? We've still seen so little in that respect.
I wonder if that will grow in correlation with the world size or if it'll just be the standard 3 or 4 villages and maybe 1 town.

@Dezzy: i hope there are a lot. It seems like a surefire way to keep the game interesting. As alluring as an abandoned natural world is, human interaction is a basic need of our species, and it would get a little depressing after a while without it.

On an unrelated topic, I was playing through my old Wii copy of Twilight Princess, and I just learned that you can play fetch with a dog! If this isn't a feature with those purebred beauties in Breath of the Wild, I'll riot.

Well, again, Breath is Skyrim.

There is this huge, vast, and varied wilderness full of dungeons, treasures, and enemy camps. And — if Breath if is a good imitation — there will also be five or so major towns (racial towns like Falco's airship), as well as a bunch of minor villages (that place with the red-dressed villagers) and outlying settlements (the horse pavilion).

And, if there isn't, it'll just be a Far Cry that plays better.

Interestingly enough, the fact that runes have independent cooldowns lets players have two bombs out simultaneously — one spherical and one square-shaped. That's a clever little bit of balancing IMO.

Also, in the E3 demo, if Link walked off a cliff with his bow draw he would just fall normally, not activating bullet time / flurry rush.

And can someone please rap at me about the grander battle theme in Polygon's vid? That violin and discordant BEAT tho!

I don't think there will be that much towns or villages. After all, wasn't part of this Hyrule supposed to be destroyed with Calamity Ganon? I assume that when he destroyed the castle town he did happen to kill some villagers...

Well, the game isn't called breath of civilisation...

"Breath of Dystopia" probably seemed a bit too dark, so they went with "Wild".

I think this thread is what's been keeping this forum afloat lately.

But flying type attacks are super-effective against grass species!

while the Zoras act all buddy buddy until you invent trains. Then they try to attack you with regular soldiers

When routed, they channel a river spell and summon a wave that crashes into the Hylian train as it crosses Zora River. The water crashes into the train, pushing it off of the bridge tracks and drowning it in the river like freakin' Arwen when she has to protect her BF's halfling boi.

Imagine having such an ego that you put your name in the title of all your games. I refuse to buy any Sid Meier games on principle.

Clive Barker's Jericho.

And, to be fair, I think most of the Tom Clancy games are posthumous.

If there are also Gorons and Picori, then I'm sold!

I'm shocked David Cage hasn't put his name in his games' titles yet. I just realized that.
