Since I haven't pre-ordered a Switch and don't feel like waiting to play I guess I'm just going to get the digital Wii U version.

I hope it isn't too much worse than the Switch version. It's going to feel weird to get a game I'm really hyped for and being excited to finally play it but disappointed that I'm playing an inferior version.

>that dude from the last thread
There are legitimate criticisms/subjective arguments you could make about BotW but it sounds he wants a western style RPG where you make your own character, or at least determine the course of your own story and set your own goals. That's just not what Zelda has ever been and it's not what they were aiming for this time, either.

>>169422935
Personally I'm glad that BotW isn't pretending to be an RPG like Bethesda games do

It's very obvious that Bethesda just wants to make action adventure games but are obligated to have an RPG label and the games suffer for it

I'll just sleep all morning then and then play the game until 4am.

So how do we think we'll be getting to those islands? Seems like it would get tiring trying to use a raft and korok leaf.

Anyway, this game is definitely comfy. The village music comes to mind.

I couldn't seem to find the actual review, but the end score is apparently a 10.

It's happening, people!

4 upgrades/16 shrines for a doubled stamina wheel. Jump right off the cliff and sail as long as you can, fall in the water and drink a stamina potion, swim the rest.

camel-cause a sandstorm that lowers enemy visibility

I can see the lizard, but the other don't sound gamebreaking enough. Even the bird sounds more overpowered in the edge article stamina limits too much how much horizontal ground you can cover with the gliderI'm imagiining something more like giving your glider thrusterm so you are uberfast and can control your direction more easily

I am currently playing through Twilight Princess after just having finished Wind Waker

Why does this game feel so bland? Not that it's bad or anything but it just has an overwhelming sense of mediocrity for a zelda game.

And also I am not a furfag so Midna and the whole wolf mechanic does nothing for me

None of the games they've given a 10/10 have deserved it.

>>169432575
I like how they mentioned frame rate problems and still gave it 10/10

Do they not understand what perfect means? Do they grade on a curve that includes ET for Atari?

>>169432643
To be fair 10/10 doesn't necessarily mean perfect, they might want to give it a 9.7 or whatever but are forced to round up.

The problem is that 10/10 IMPLIES perfection to the reader because the score can't go any higher.

The game will be good regardless but 10/10s are pretty meaningless to me at this point, especially if the review mentions fucking Ocarina.

TP is just a straight zelda, like OoT. It's pretty much OoT 2. By the books, does stuff fairly solidly, trying to really recreate the OoT formula.

I think it's probably the best 3D zelda, but it's not my favourite.

>>
>>169434047
Stamina upgrades add 1/5 of a new circle each, so there's probably 5 max. Either way you end up needing 8 spirit orbs more than we can get to max out both. Chances are you can either get some form of heart/stamina container in game, or there are 8 spirit orbs that can be found outside of shrines.
>>
>>169434047

It's definitely the latter. Basically there needs to be another sources of orbs or Hylia needs to be feeling extra generous with the last upgrade

>>169434163

lose 6 hearts in one shot from the next tier up from the basic grunts still think 20 hearts is enough

Nintendo of Japan insider here. The next home console Zelda is already in the works and is utilizing the BotW engine and many of its assets... and will have have a very interesting gameplay mechanic driving the plot.

I'm juat so fucking mad that nintendo ruined their best fucking series by trying to make an Elder Scrolls clone but forgot that what makes elder scrolls fucking good is the CYOA style of questing.

Instead we're left with this shallow world with 4 real bosses and a ton of useless shit.

"LOOK YOU CAN USE A PITCHFORK, THATS A GAME CHANGER RIGHT?"

NO you fucking morons at Nintendo. Wind Waker had it right. Just let us pick up weapons and use them, not have us carry around 10 fucking weapons that all break in 2 hits.

And the voice acting. Ho. Ree. Shit. Did they fuck that up,

This is also the first console SINCE THE VIRTUAL BOY not to have its own exclusive Zelda game, and rumor has it no 3D Mario or Metroid are gonna come to the Wii U now. Thanks for making me buy a hunk of shit that only got NOTHING for it

Giving an enemy a lot of health does not make it a boss. If you can run away from it, it's not a boss.

>>169435492
I think the only limitations are areas that require a lot of stamina to get to (climbing/swimming) or places that need temperature regulation... I guess my question is do enemies scale with areas?

Amazon just sent me an email saying my order will be coming in on March 3rd and they've upgraded me to one-day shipping free as an apology.

Do I cancel GameStop though...?
>>
>>169440169

that's my plan pretty much but no horse. I'll get a Walrus once I'm there. Probably going to go with an extra heart first but I'll see how stamina at base level feels before deciding for sure
>>
>>169440169
First thing I'm going to do is to repeatedly tell myself I'm not missing out too much by playing the Wii U version. Hopefully after playing for a bit the feeling will go away and I can fully enjoy the game.

I've tried to avoid as much about the game as possible so I have no clue what I'll do when I actually start playing.

>>
>>169440169
I'll probably start off in the vague direction that the game points me in. But I'm 100% anticipating getting sidetracked for at least several hours before making a concerted effort to continue the main story events.

>>169440265
What if I just want to dodge blows at the last minute without suffering through excessive slo mo every single time?
At the very least I hope you can cancel out of it somehow.

Going to Ganon, fleeing Hyrule Castle, getting dejected, making a cloak, taming a deer, cutting through the forest and finding the Deku Tree. Tell me how to get dat Master Lightsaber, oh mighty lord.
>>
>>169440265
I'm a different anon but I find it obnoxious too and you can't avoid it, it seems like just a well timed dodge while staying in striking range activates it. It's not like the additional combat moves in TP where it's truly optional and I wish you could cancel out of it so you don't have to wait for the slow down to finish.

The gimick to Ganon is he takes so much damage that you need an unbreakable item to actually kill him, thus the game jews you out of your ability to beat him without the master sword which requires you to kill the bosses.

I don't really understand why people want to go to midnight launches so badly.

>Or call and tell them to move your system to another store?
I'm going to try, but I already know the other store will be sold out and you can't move shipments between stores.
>>
>>169455978
Partly it's the hype and the experience with everyone. But also, it just means you stay up a couple of hours longer to get the game, and if you're not planning on staying up the rest of the night playing, you can play the first moment in the morning after waking up, rather than waiting for the store to open and having to get the game then.

Remember that Link started off as a sort of forest elf, to evolve into a babyfaced androgynous beta that surprises everyone by becoming a hero out of sheer courage. It's the gap what's appealing there, so he's never meant to look like prince charming, ultimate warrior or anything of the sort.

I pre-ordered mine from my local GameStop on January 19. For TPHD, they called like a week before to give me details and arrival times for the midnight release. Same for NMS.

We're less than a week away now, and I haven't gotten a call. Is this a regional thing? On the GS website it still has my order lsited, so it hasn't been cancelled.

They just give you an extra boost if you need it. Which is the way it should be. Locking any kind of content exclusively behind Amiibos would be the utmost of bullshit moves.

Since you can use a pro controller while playing the game on the Switch, once could logically make the connection that you could probably do the same on the Wii U

It's pretty bad. I highly recommend getting the Pro controller.

Though at this point, why not a Switch? It's not that much more than a used Wii U and Pro controller. Unless you're planning on pirating it, I guess.

Don't worry too much about it, apparently people have been killing so fast that they eventually have a large stock pile of weapons and it seems the only way to run out is just to use your weapons poorly.

Also, it was leaked that the Master Sword is unbreakable after you repair it and that there is some kind of REALLY rare ore you can use to make any of your equipment unbreakable

>>169467305

Why get one? It has literally no exclusives that I want coming out any time soon and especially no backwards compatibility.

It's also a LOT more expensive than the Wii U. The Switch is around £300 here in Britbong land, Wii U used is around £50-90.

Throw in the defective Joy Con situation that came up and I might skip out on the Switch entirely unless Super Mario Odyssey turns out to actually be good.

>>169467305

>Though at this point, why not a Switch?

Not him but i'm not getting a Switch either. It literally has no games outside of Splatoon - Paid Online Edition, coming out in its first year. No chance in Mario or Xenoblade 2 releasing this year. People who are getting a Switch on release must have either skipped out on the Wii U at release or they forgot how long it took that heap of shit to get some legit games.

I'm going to most likely do what I always do with Nintendo consoles. Pick up a Switch on Black Friday a few years from now once it has an established library.

If you're getting a Wii U without a GamePad, you might want to at least have a friend who has a Wii U so you can use their GamePad to set the system up. The system settings menu doesn't allow any controllers except the GamePad, so if you don't have a GamePad then you can't even set up your internet connection or change resolution. It's considered an integral part of the system, so they expect you to have one.

>>169467305
>Though at this point, why not a Switch? It's not that much more than a used Wii U and Pro controller. Unless you're planning on pirating it, I guess.

That's actually false. A used Wii U -with the GamePad- costs quite a bit, but a used Wii U console by itself is literally worth less than the GamePad. Casuals break the GamePad all the time and Nintendo STILL doesn't directly sell replacements, so the GamePad itself is worth $100+ used while the console is dirt cheap. I got a second Wii U without a GamePad just for pirating/homebrew and it only cost me $60.
>>
>>169467864

>If you're getting a Wii U without a GamePad, you might want to at least have a friend who has a Wii U so you can use their GamePad to set the system up

No, I am getting a Wii U with a gamepad, I just don't want to use that blocky trash.
>>
>>169467559
Fair enough, around here a used Wii U is pretty expensive. Add in the Pro controller and you're saving maybe 50 bucks. At that point you might as well have the better version of Zelda.

Well, I was planning on getting a Switch either way, so it's no big deal to me.

Interesting. I do remember seeing an older pic that had a bow with a diamond mark next to the word "durability" next to it. Wonder if they're related.
>>
>>169467935
Oh, alright. Just making sure you know, because I've had friends who made that mistake and then had to borrow my GamePad.

If I may say, though, the GamePad gets way more of a bad rap than it deserves. It looks chunky and blocky, but it actually feels just fine to hold. It's really light, and the curved grips on the back make it feel pretty much like any other controller. It's just wider than what you might be used to, that's all.

The Pro Controller's buttons feel identical to the GamePad's, so all you're really paying for is a less-wide version of the same thing (with a much higher battery life).
>>
>>169468052
That is a modified weapon for increased durability. You can either find those out in the wild like that, usually in chests or wielded by champion mobs. Or you can do it yourself. We don't know how to yet.

Great Fairies can up the defense of your equipment apparently and we have seen a Weapon Workbench in Zora's Domain. So it's probably there.

>tfw never liked Zelda
>Completely hype for this one

Shit, might finally pick up a Nintendo console that isn't the Switch for the first time since the Gamecube.

This game just looks pretty top tier and an actual challenge.

Can anyone explain to me why people liked the other Zeldas (post N64 Zeldas)? I tried Wind Waker and Twilight Princess and they were just so mind numbingly basic in their gameplay, narrative and pretty much everything, that I struggled to see the appeal outside of Nostalgia.

Breath of Wild on the other hand looks like a legit adventure

>Hype as FUCK of Breath of Wild

Really hoping the Wii U version doesn't suck donkey dicks though. If what i'm hearing is true (it's virtually identical to the Switch version barring the resolution due to the Switch version actually being the port) then i'll rest easy.

I just hope it isn't an MGSV case where the PS3 version sucked dick and the PS4 version was a HUGE improvement
>>
>>169469350

>I just hope it isn't an MGSV case where the PS3 version sucked dick and the PS4 version was a HUGE improvement

Well it isn't, MGSV ran at 1080p 60fps on the PS4 as opposed to 720p 30fps on the PS3.

The Switch vs Wii U difference is only 720p vs 900p (720p vs 720p if you use the handheld mode on the Switch). The rest remains to be seen.

Shit, the Wii U version might even turn out to be smoother because it's 720p.
>>
>>169455571

>>169469195
People liked Wind Waker for the charm of the art style, a few crazies who like sailing and the music.

People liked Twilight Princess for Midna or because they pretend "bland looking brown game is totes dark and better".

Both are good games, but they kind made a lot of missteps.

Everything else kind of has way smaller fanbases aside from maybe A Link Between Worlds, which was a great return to 2D style, but was also a pseudo remake to A Link to the Past.

>>169468317
If by "awkward as fuck" you mean pretty much the same as on the Pro, but with a screen, then sure.

Maybe I had some Stockholm syndrome, but I never found the Gamepad to be awkward and the only game I didn't play with it is Smash for the most part.

It never felt bulky or uncomfortable to me. I pretty much completed WWHD on it with off tv play and it was a great experience.

I mean, if we want to pretend Battle Mode Deluxe, Arms, Fire Emblem Warriors, some ports of games Wii U didn't get/isn't getting, and stuff like that, sure.

And Mario is probably done. Xenoblade will likely hit JAPAN this year, but nowhere else. We don't know how far along half of these are.

As for Splatoon, paid online doesn't come until fall.

If anything, it makes more sense to get NOW so you can play it all BEFORE it becomes paid.

I don't like the gamepad either but it's because it's not as ergonomic as a regular controller and too heavy to just disappear in my hands. I also don't like the short battery life compared to a normal controller, having to switch my attention between the tv and my lap, etc. Basically I think the gamepad was one of the top reasons the wii u failed.

>I mean, if we want to pretend Battle Mode Deluxe, Arms, Fire Emblem Warriors, some ports of games Wii U didn't get/isn't getting, and stuff like that, sure.

Literally not one of those games is a launch exclusive, nor are they system sellers (not even close).

Shit, you even included a port that's not even a launch title, that's how desperate you were to justify owning a Switch.

Shit, if you want to buy a Switch go ahead. Just don't try to imply that the system has a good launch lineup or even a passable launch lineup. The launch lineup is worse than the PS4s which was also dogshit (At least it had 2 AAA games, regardless of quality, Switch in comparison has one Kinect tier game and Bomberman).

>And Mario is probably done.

Stop talking out your ass.

>Xenoblade will likely hit JAPAN this year, but nowhere else.

Hahaahahahaha

>If anything, it makes more sense to get NOW so you can play it all BEFORE it becomes paid.

You're completely delusional.
>>
>>169470013

Come the fuck on anon, your entire post reeks of literal marketing. Mario/Xenoblade 2 don't even have release dates, there's virtually no chance they release this year (ESPECIALLY Xenoblade 2).

Splatoon is not a system seller to the vast majority of people, especially when it's a complete rehash of the first one but with Paid Online. Here's the Switches launch exclusive library

I'm probably going to be going around late afternoon. I think I went to the Wii midnight launch at like 4pm and there were 15 people already there. After about 10pm, there were 50 people, but we still all got our Wii. I was kind of surprised they had so many. I hope it's going to be the same and that no one goes home empty handed, worst feeling ever.
>>
So really what are the main differences between the Wii U version and the Switch version? I already have a Wii U and I don't wanna spend $400 for one game I could just spend $70 on
>>
>>169470683
Wii U has rare, minor framerate issues
Switch version looks slightly better
>>
>>169470683

Nothing confirmed. Basically, the only confirmed thing is that the Switch will likely be more crisp due to the resolution bump from 720p to 900p.

Framerate wise I would imagine them to be similar.

The shit i'm interested in finding out is the LOD and texture differences but I don't think there are any because Nintendo failed to list them among the official list of changes.

The fact that Nintendo listed petty shit like "improved sound mixing" instead of "better LOD" tells me that they will look and run more or less identical outside of the 720p > 900p bump.

Get the Wii U version, the difference is likely to be minimal
>>
>>169471043
>petty shit like "improved sound mixing"

Reggie also mentions faster loading and reduced pop-in in the Switch version in this video.

The textures bit, sure, you could argue that maybe they've improved since then, but we have no evidence of that right now.

From what I gather it's a pastebin of the names of assets in the game

The only bit I give a shit about is the fact that there's a Gerudo Queen and we'll be having an escort mission with her I suspect the Gerudo we've seen is the person in question

It doesn't make sense because the Switch is essentially a straight port.

Why wouldn't they list LOD/Texture quality in the huge list they brought out of differences between the versions? Why bother padding it out with useless shit like "better sound mixing" etc?

So 2 black guys are walking down the street, one of them has 98 cents and the other has a dollar, they see a sign that says "whitewash: we'll turn you white for 99 cents". So they make a plan, the guy with the dollar goes in first and when he comes out he'll give the penny to the one with 98 cents. He comes out looking beautifully white, maybe the most handsome white man you'd ever seen, and the other black guy says "hey man give me that penny it's my turn" and the white guy says "get a job nigger"

FROM /v/:

Lynels are basically the Darknuts of this game.

They're four legged, armored, faster than horses when they're dashing, and wield a variety of weapons. Stripping their armor with magnesis, hammers, or bombs is a near necessity.

They can also breathe fire and throw things if disarmed.

Basically you have the best of both worlds and they will continue to kill you even when you get the Master Sword.

[Assassins] are new. No real enemy history. You can't rest at fireplaces if one is on your trail.

"It doesn't feel safe to rest right now..."

Blow guns, swords, and knives that catch swords. They're hard to kill but you never meet them in groups. Your only hope to escape them is to find a horse or elk.

Each enemy has two strength variants, and within those variants there are multiple weapon types. Each enemy uses weapons differently. There's also plenty of minibosses. Notice how minibosses aren't there?

Gohma, Hinox, Stalfos, Dinolfos to name a couple.

Sounds like there'll be multiple Gerudo climates including Plateau, Desert and Frost. Several NPCs and Sidequests. Some Gerudo items for Link to wear and use. Some hint of the Dungeon reward. An escort mission involving the Queen and finally the possibility of an actual surfboard as opposed to a shield. Possibly as a permanent item

The old man is the king of Hyrule. He's dead. So is Zelda. You can ride Lynels and attack their backs. There are assassins that stalk you. There are multiple dragon enemies. There are fishing holes. There are minigames. Magnet Gloves are in. You can surf. We have a nearly full overworld location list.

Maybe it's just in English, but Latin based languages "not saving someone's life" does not necessarily means this someone died. Just that they now live a shitty life by the stables. lol

Probably Downfall it makes the most sense out of anything... except for the races... the rito still confuse me. I'm starting to think there aren't any absolutes in Hyrule. While Ritos came from Zoras in the windwaker timeline I guess it's possible for it to happen again... but with actual Zoras in the game this time....


I'm still sticking with my theory that a race that keeps fucking with scales of Valoo (or any similar dragon) will eventually become bird people.

HOLY SHIT!

>"Open your eyes"

>>
>>169481930
Calling it right the fuck now. The game is a Bloodborne style true dream the Gods impart on Link. They take him to the future in a dream and show him what will happen if he dies.
>>
>>169482041

Maybe this dream world happens when Link picks up the Master Sword for the first time in OoT.
>>
>>169481764
It's interesting, yes, but without context it could easily just mean you'll be able to find the place if you sail out to it, as like an easter egg. It doesn't have to be story related.

Suddenly Link hears a wail and the Wind Fish appears right before the hero's eyes! The Wind Fish says that in his dreams, a whole world had existed.[12] Yet he could not awaken due to the Nightmares. It is only natural that dreams are to end, and when he awakes Koholint shall disappear.

>He says that Link may someday recall this dream in the waking world, the only memory of the island.

>>169482834

The timeline found in Hyrule Historia confirms that Link's Awakening is the sequel to both A Link to the Past and the Oracle series. It takes place in the "Downfall" split timeline after Ocarina of Time, where Ganon defeated the Hero of Time. The prologue speaks of Link defeating Ganon and saving Hyrule, an apparent reference to A Link to the Past. Link journeys away from Hyrule to embark on a "quest for enlightenment". The "quest for enlightenment" away from Hyrule is the story told in the Oracle Series. After defeating Ganon once more at the end of the Linked Game, Link leaves Labrynna on a boat. This leads to the events of Link's Awakening. Link's Awakening is followed by A Link Between Worlds centuries later.

Okay so there are like 900 fucking seeds right? I guess the number of seeds to add onto a specific inventory grows the more slots you have. I do enjoy the fact that they are used for something useful and can be obtained by playing minigames like the glider time trial thing. I only up there is one that requires you to snowboard down a mountain.

>>
>>169484376
I'm guessing you can have a max of 24 extra slots per category. My reasoning is that if the cost of expanding your inventory increases by 1 seed each time, 300 seeds would open up 24 inventory slots. Multiply that by 3 for each category and that's 900 korok seeds total.

Just because there is a timeline split it doesn't mean someone or a long family line of vendors can only exist in one timeline.


Honestly the only thing in zelda lore that seems usable proof for its placement in the timeline is geography and dialogue from the characters.

Races, recurring side characters and themes don't seem to apply.

I might do the same but I don't really want to get too far. Maybe I'll try to get into the castle grounds and just run away before I actually get to the castle. Personally, I hope something just oneshots me in my attempt. It will just make the eventual return and success to be so much more satisfying.

Is it even possible to beat Ganon from the start now that it's confirmed that he has 5 phases
>>
>>169486763

I figure you can beat him with base stats and gear but you'll really need to stock up on food and weapons so I don't think it classifies as right from the start any more
>>
>>169486763
maybe? but with low-level weapons breaking so fast I'm not sure how it would be possible. Especially since the dungeons apparently help in the fight once you beat them.
>>
>>169486763
5 phases? Damn son. Where's the source on that

but I remember some guest on GameXplain said that he went straight to CG and DID engage in the final battle, but obviously couldn't do it. That's about all he said, though
>>
Does anyone know what the creepy stalking enemy that was mentioned in the GameXplain video is?

>>169486918
Well, Aonuma did say you can fight Ganon at the start, but will be a challenge even for veterans of the series to beat.

>>169486864

You're going to have to have a collection of good swords, shields, bows and it probably would help to have as many special arrows as possible, like bomb arrows. I would say you should get some armor and potions, but at three hearts I think your best option is to git gud and dodge everything and not running out of weapons. good luck with that.
>>
>>169487053

I don't know if he's beatable by someone rushing straight to him then with all 4 great beast doing whatever they do to aid you, full stamina and or heart, maxed out inventory space full of great weapons, strong shield, amazing armour, potent elixirs and all the special items plus the gamebreaking long cooldown abilities from clearing the Dungeons he'll be too easy for an even halfway skilled player
>>
>>169486763
Maybe? Either what Nintendo meant was that you can go to the encounter with Ganon straight away but can't defeat him, or he is designed it to be all but impossible to beat without playing the game and getting stronger first.

Okami is Zelda for weeaboos. And I mean that in the best way possible
>>
>>169488598

that shield is glorious. I expect it's an Amiibo drop

That aside it seems you can get to Ganon but essentially you've turned it into a pure stealth game to get to him. This isn't even accounting for what's in the castle and Ganon himself
>>
>>169488774
sphinx and the cursed mummy is a good one. one character focuses on combat and has light puzzles, and the other is entirely on puzzles. plus, ancient egyptian mythology. it's like okami, but in egypt. and every character is a mythological beast of some sort

Yeah maybe after playing the game for a while. I can't imagine something immediately heading there, killing all the guardians and then going to fight Ganon.

>>169489106
Pretty sure I saw that shield being carried around by a higher level bokoblin.

>>169489310

I think what you'll do is roll up, kill as many as you can, take your loot, power back up, rinse and repeat until Ganon is exposed. Hopefully you can do this before the Blood Moon

Seems like this game uses enemies, climate and how much stamina you have to limit you from certain areas. Doesn't mean it's impossible. Just means you're going to need to plan your shit out. I'm fine with the final area being stacked with hard enemies, but my question is how are other areas handled? Are areas (minus the castle and starting area) all the same difficulty, with you having to avoid the stronger enemies until later?

Honestly, I think only costumes are locked behind amiibos. I don't see anything special about that shield. At first glance I would say maybe the bokoblin gives you it but the amiibo's description it specifically says the chest mostly drops higher level bokoblin weapons.

It's a bit sad because from now on it will take double the time to create a Zelda game, but the result will be better than the Zeldas before.

>>
>>169492230
>>169492397
I also wonder if the next Zelda game will be so heavy on physics and ways to use them (via runes).

Physics in games are great fun and the runes really make them shine. The physics this time are definitely one of the biggest defining factors of the game. If the next Zelda game doesn't have these mechanics it will feel like something is missing, but if they implement runes every time it will probably feel stale.
>>
>>169492853
I disagree, if the next game uses the classic formula similar to ALttP or OOT I think it'll be interpreted more as a return to form. I don't think the release of BotW immediately makes the classic formula not good.
>>
>>169478301
I hope it's this
>>
>>169493059
Whatever next game comes out after BotW is going to be much like MM was to OoT, at least imo. Something quickly put together, with more of a gimmick approach rather than intended as a full lore game, so to put it.

The only side quest I remember seeing specifically was one that was a hunt for a rare royal family horse, a bright white one, like the one Zelda rides in the trailer.

I wouldn't be surprised if most side missions in this game are hunting down targeted enemies or animals

I wonder how many of these shields will be in the game
>>
>>169494636
There is no day one game that uses all the power of the console.
Mario Sunshine didn't use GC's full power, Mario 64 didn't use N64's full power and so on.

In BotW, the gameplay and story are only deep insofar as you keep exploring them. You must want to go through everything in order for it to be significant. In other words, you decide how much the game offers you. I've seen this formula in other games, though I can't remember specific examples.

Does this type of self-motivated worldbuilding have a name?

I'm so hyped for this. I'm in that phase where everything seems boring. All I want to do is play this game.

I'm getting the digital Wii U version. I'm concerned about performance but also about the gamepad's battery life.

I've had my Wii U since launch. Back in November I played through Zelda: TP HD but my sessions weren't very long. I'm afraid I might end up playing longer sessions in BOTW and have to stop playing and charge the gamepad.

I've thought about getting a pro controller but it seems like a waste of money since after BOTW I'm probably not going to be using my Wii U anymore.
>>
>>169505927
I remember having that same problem when I first started playing XBX. After about 2 and a half hours or so the thing would die on me.
Luckily it's got that socket near the top left so as long as you're playing near an outlet to plug into the gamepad's battery life shouldn't be a huge issue.
>>
>>169505927
You do know that you can play while charging your controller, do you?
>>
>>169506360
>>169506772
I know this but I don't play close enough to an outlet to do that. I guess I could get an extension cord and have it stretched out across the room but that seems like a hassle.
>>
>>169476259
>Only 8 basic enemy types

Ah... I guess people's fears were right when they mentioned about only seeing Bokoblins. One of the complaints of the IGN crew during their preview podcast was the enemy variety as well.

Damn shame.

>>169505445
I'm glad I don't really consider this a spoiler since it should have been obvious to anyone. Hylians are long lived, but did you really think that the King would escape the Calamity if it appeared ON Hyrule Castle. I'm more sad with the realization of the Spirit Fire that Nintendo spoiled that everyone with the blue scarf is also dead.
>>
>>169476259
Are the Keese the slimes we've seen ?
Also : no guardians here
>>
>>169507285
That list isn't complete, it only has 2GB out of 11GB

Beedle isn't mentioned either
>>
>>169507535
Keese are Bats (basically eyeballs with wings)

Seeing as how reviewers have only had like 3 or 4 days with the game so far, I seriously doubt they've seen EVERY enemy the game has to throw at them.
Especially after they all reported how fuckhueg the world is.
>>
>>169480664
THANK TYRION
>>
>>169505445

At what point in the game does he reveal himself? I'm assuming you don't go back to the Plateau for story reasons so your parting must involve a decent cutscene
>>
>>169507535
Chuchus are the slimes. That list is actually missing a good number of enemies we've seen

>Bokoblins (lol)
>Chuchus
>Deku Scrubs
>Guardians
>Flying Guardians
>Miniature Steppe Tallus-like rock enemies
>All the minibosses (though they'd probably be in a different category)
>>
>>169478149
Well shit.
>>
>>169507856
Oh and it only lists one keese type despite us seeing several others.
>>
>>169507764
Probably after he gives you the paraglider, since the flavor text for it specifically mentions him as the king
>>
>>169507285
We have seen WAY more then just eight.

Bokoblins
Moblins
Guardians
Keese
Chu
Lizalfos
Octoroks

And that was just from the stuff that Nintendo showed us, more if you want to count the mini guardians and the sword guardians as separate.

With an area name like River of the Dead, I doubt we won't see Redeads or Poe.
>>
>>169490390
>So Link is basically Captain Hylia or something since he's far above the average Hylian in terms of toughness and endurance

He's always been like that. Spirit of the hero probably gives him it.

The nigga can move around giant stone blocks and cut through metal armor with wooden swords even as a child.
>>
>>169507856
weren't the deku scrubs just camoflaged octorocks

Considering those spoilers I wonder how drastically different present Zelda will look compared to the trailer one
>>
>>169508113
yes
>>
>>169508113
They're Land Octoroks, the same as they've always been.
>>
>>169508113
Yes they were, finally Land Octoroks in a 3d Zelda. Too bad they behave like Water ones, but oh well.

>So is Zelda.
Wait... if Zelda is dead, then is she a ghost in the future as well? Or maybe her conscious is preserved in an AI guardian? Or is she just... completely gone?
>>
>>169508278
There is no future Zelda. Everything you saw in the trailers were flashbacks.

Isn't it strange that we have pictures of the King of Fucking Hyrule before Zelda? Yeah, there's a reason for that.
>>
>>169508278
Dream End?
>>
>>169508278
everything points at her being a ghost
>>
>>169508278
I would assume she is an AI in the Shiekah Slate. This is funny since it's basicly the original plot for LoZ before they changed it from a sci-fi to a medieval fantasy world. Link was suppose to be a robot and you were collecting circuit boards to repair something. Zelda was the AI of a computer system.
>>
>>169508004

then it's even less of a major event for happening within the first hour or 2 if you rush it which I will because that glider will make conquering the Plateau easier

>>169508108

In previous games I figured it was the Triforce of Courage but there's been no mention of the Triforce at all in all the media I've consumed. So it's purely him being powered up by the goddess into something more than a mere couragous Hylian
>>
>>169508278
there could just be two different zeldas
>>
>>169507637
Thank you
>>
>>169508830
No, the dialogue with the king in the present pretty much confirms there's one Zelda and she died
>>
>>169508668

He doesn't have the Triforce of Courage til Zelda II, and in ALttP, Ganon already has the full thing from the beginning.

Link is, as Hilda put it, "Supreme".

EVERYBODY IS DEAD. THIS IS PURGATORY

GANON IS DECIDING WHO GOES TO HEAVEN OR HELL BUT THE SHEIKAH ARE FIGHTING HIM BECAUSE THEY WANT TO MAINTAIN THE ILLUSION OF LIFE
>>
>>169508830
Well if there was a second zelda then she'd have to be the first Zelda's kid right? That's technically possible but I don't think it'll be the case.
>>
>>169508278
Her spirit is probably trapped in Hyrule Castle and you revive her at the end of the game.
>>
>>169476259
this is just the "picture book" stuff, similar to WW you may have to take a picture of everything

its missing dungeon stuff (no malice)

I know reaction videos are hated but I loved this one. You can tell they are genuine fans by the way they don't even give a shit about the first minute of the trailer which retreads everything we've already seen before. Then when the craziness starts they fucking explode.\

Also the girl's reactions to Zelda are cute.

>>169509648
>e-celeb trash
>>>/v/
>>
>>169509514

All I'm doing is holding a mirror to the inevitable conclusion of where this spoilered discussion is heading

Personally I think everyone is dead is unlikely and whilst they're going for some sadness in this story I doubt they're going that far
>>
>>169507418
I do question that. Daruk was the only one that was seen in the trailers with spirit fire.
>>
>>169509841

If everyone's dead you're probably bringing them back somehow. They seem to play a larger role than the throways you get masks from in Majora's Mask, and even in that game you did nothing but go around solving everyone's problems and saving their world from total destruction.
>>
>>169508494
Didn't we already have a game revolving around Zelda being a ghost?
>>
>>169436409
fear of change is actually an autistic trait so, I can see why so many people are crying about not getting another rehash
>>
>>169507418

Gerudo is alive and well then

>>169509996

A good Blood Moon
>>
>>169509929
This. I think Goron Bro is the only one who's dead and is just a spirit come back to help. Gerudo woman, Zora bro, and Falco are all present day living.

Zelda is up in the air.
>>
The King has a blue ghastly glow, Link doesn't, that confirms only him and Zelda are dead, everyone else is alive
>>
What if Zelda wakes up later on like Link? She has two outfits, maybe one is for the past.
>>
>>169510163
>Blood moon

You are a fucking genius. Of course, it's probably another kind of Sheikah tech, or maybe a wish on the Triforce that caused this. So if Link kills Ganon, then he gets control of the Triforce and he can use it to bring everyone back like he did in ALttP.
>>
>>169510229
Unless if Link is an artificial construct.
>>
>>169510415

>Brings everyone back
>Everyone standing around celebrating

Don't forget this third one.
If that even is Zelda I mean
>>
>>169510586

Inb4 Zelda is now in the body of a 30 year old hitting on a Link who is 12 years younger than her.

Like my coworker.
>>
>>169510229
Wait, Zelda had the blue glow? Where?
>>
>>169508498
that's some pottery
>>
>>169510358
Jesus Christ, how many times must I repeat myself.

ALL ZELDA IN THE TRAILER IS FROM THE PAST.

King in the present:"I couldn't save my daughter's life."

SHE'S GONE IN THE PRESENT.
>>
Anybody got a screen of the map yet?
>>
>>169510645
makes kind of sense, even if I expected him to be one of the pilots I think that the pilots of the 4 beasts are alive and well since the 4 construct will help you against ganon if you purify them.
>>
>>169510838
Her official description on the official game's site states different though. Now who I believe - game's creators or some random caps anon?
>>
>>169510415

Resurrection Tower
Resurrection Shrine
Master Sword of Resurrection

The writing's on the wall
>>
>>169510838

Maybe the King doesn't know she's still alive somehow
>>
maybe the blood moon is caused by ganon, and is preventing the king/zelda/pilots from truly dying
>>
>>169511037
>pilots

of what? Wtf does that mean
>>
>>169511059
Nothing in her bio says that her actions about being an archeologist take place in the present.

People that keep believing that you'll meet Zelda in the present in any way before defeating Ganon are being delusional at this point.
>>
>>169511297
The Divine Beasts
>>
>>169511519
But what does the word "pilot" mean in this context? They literally control them?
>>
Yes /lozg/ this kind of arguing is what keeps the thread alive and well and brings us closer to release
>>
So do we know how this will work ?
We start in that not-cryo room naked ? Or do we start in the "past" first and then there's an ellipse ?
>>
>>169511406
This. We've had multiple leaks of snapshot albums from people who have played the game showing off literally everyone but Zelda.

She's not in the game outside of cutscenes and voice.
>>
>The world map matches up the locations with OOT and ALTTP

This pleases my continuity boner
>>
Didn't aonuma say that you can make zelda scold you in the game at one point? The way he talked about it made it sound like you'd actually be interacting with Zelda at some point, rather than being in a cutscene or flashback or whatever
>>
>>169511406
It clearly stated in the present tense. On the Japanese site at least, I didn't see other versions.
>>
>>169512136
She probably scolds you through voice only. There's obviously some way she's either contacting you from the past or from the dead.
>>
>>169512136
All of the flashbacks are likely playable.
>>
>>169502268
