I'm waiting for that. I don't mind my Wii U being a Bayonetta player but, still. Probably NX stuff.

Doubtful. They're going to have a huge number of playable demo units on the floor and it's unlikely that they'd have that many NX units on the show floor. It would be too easy for somebody to find out.

I always kind of disliked this Wind Waker/Skyward Sword art. I mean it's good, but still I prefer the Majora's Mak/Twilight Princess art:

Spoiler

Anyway. Aside from that. These gameplay ideas do seen good and interesseting (except for the slow motion atacks), and hope they will work.
But what worries me is fact they are trying a world this big. Wich requires good amounts of dedication to make it fun to explore it (like in morrowind, gothic, or the nethrim mod). And that is something that Triple A developers nowadays can't seen to make. And the Zelda series, since Ocarina of Time suffered from this mistke. A big, open, boring world. A mistake that culminated in Wind Waker and Skyward Sword. Except in Majora's Mask were they somehow (due to being small and therefore more focused) made it work.
Well... If the Wii U emolator get's the same good evolution that Dolphin had, then in 1 or 2 years I'll be play the game (wich I am actually hyped).

The problem is that Majora's Mask (my favourite Zelda so far) has not a big fan base (far from it!), and there are a lot of people who disliked its artistic direction. Bad people, of course, but still a lot.

A constant stream of minuscule, forgettable item upgrades, just what Zelda needs. I wish it was just different item types/animations. Other than that, looks fun.

 

[Keldryn]

Yup, looks just like a Wii game.

 

[Ivan]

lol i thought you were going to point out how good it looks

 

[Siveon]

Looks better than any Wii game, at the very least.

 

[Morality Games]

Haven't messed with consoles in a long time but very tempted to get a WiiU for some simple, old school type shit on the TV once in a while. This game is adding to that motivation.

At this point this reads like necrophilia. Even shitty Vita has more support than WiiU

... that is ... debatable.

 

[sullynathan]

game is going to be huge

A Neogaf user wrote a list of all the known features of this Zelda:

Lets summarize all the things you can do in Zelda and the changes:

World

Spoiler

•Open world, go where you want from the start. Obviously some places you wont be able to reach until you get an item.
•Link can jump, climb on anything, swim, run, all governed by a stamina meter.
•Dynamic weather effects the game, if there is wind you can use it to spread fire. If there is a thunderstorm metal can be struck by lightning. Rain will put out fires.
•Temperature plays a role, link cant go into an area too hot or too cold or he takes damage. Need to get better clothes. Or build a fire to stay warm, or use a torch. Or cook various objects and make a potion that gives certain resistances.
•There are shrines scattered around the world, over 100, each have trails of puzzles or combat. Treasures and sometimes new skills are found within. These are not the full dungeons you will also find.
•There are enemy base camps, some have a treasure chest that only opens when you clear the camp.
•You mark the world map. Its not filled with a ton of stupid markers. If you see something you cant reach yet, leave a treasure marker, or an enemy marker for a tough enemy.
•The E3 demo is only the plateau, a small elevated chunk of land where you can spend hours and hours exploring and its like 2% of the full game.
•There will be towns and NPCs but most have been removed for the demo.
•There are hidden Kuroks all over the place, this is from WW so this is tied to that timeline.

Actions

Spoiler

•Giant physics based playground, everything is governed by physics. See a boulder, roll it down a hill, it may crush enemies. Can cross a chasm but see large trees, chop it down to create a bridge.
•Fire reacts like fire. If you have a wood club put it in fire and now you have a fire club to light up enemies. Need to make a fire, cut trees to gather wood, find flint, put the two on the floor, use a metal object to strike the flint it mixes with the wood now you have a camp fire to cook. See withered grass, set it on fire and let the wind spread the fire.
•You can obtain a hand glider to fly around the massive world. You can use hot air from a fire to make the glider rise.
•One item is the magnet, it allows you to manipulate any metal object in the world. See a metal box, cant break it with normal items, pick it up with the magnet and crush it against something. You can located hidden chests under water and make it rise. You can pick up metal platforms and use it to crush enemies. You can throw your sword on the ground, use the magnet to pick it up and then swing it around using your magnet power.
•One item is called stasis it freezes an object in time. See gears moving some platforms or a bridge, freeze it. See giant metal spikes rolling around, freeze it. See a seesaw bridge that doesn't let you cross when too much weight is put on one side, freeze it.
•Stasis can be used to freeze any static object then you can hit the object with your sword or another object which transfers kinetic energy to the frozen object so when the stasis wears off that object will explode in the direction you were hitting it. This can be used to launch boulders into the air like a cannon at enemies.
•You get two kinds of bombs, one is round so it can be rolled and one is square so it can stay in one place. You have unlimted bombs, they are on a timer. All bombs are remotely detonated. You can place a bomb, lure an enemy to it and boom. See an enemy hut with explosive barrels, roll a bomb into it and watch it explode to oblivion. you can use bombs to launch objects the same way you do with stasis.
•There is the water ice maker thing. This lets you turn any body of water into a column of ice. See a gate with a puddle of water under it, raise the water up to raise the gate. An enemy is firing lasers at you while you are in water, create cover by making columns of ice. See a freezing body of water that link will die if he goes in, create the ice pillars so he can jump across.

Combat

[SPOILER]

[/SPOILER]

•Mostly its like WW/TP but with new options. If you dodge at the right time you can do a fury strike which slows things down and allows for a super combo of attacks.
•You can pick up any weapon and use it, they degrade fast so you need to stock up on them. All of it governed by a stats system. Enemies drop weapons too, which you can pick up. Different classes of weapons fight differently like a spear is fast and used for thrust attacks. An axe is slow but powerful. Clubs are big and slow and can be put on fire.
•If you fight a skeleton you can shoot its head off and the body will search for the head, if you destroy one head and anothers body, the one without the body will pick up the head from the other guy and reform. You can also rip off an arm and use the arm as a sword, a sword that is constantly wiggling its hands to reach its body.
•Need to find a shield, killing enemies is best way to find them. Or sneak into their camp as they sleep and steal one.
•You can hop on the shield and use it to sled down mountains.
•Enemies can be scouted with the scope which reveals their health bar, most grunts are easy but the demo had plenty of super hard enemies that link was not ready for.
•Enemies have alert states that are shown with classic MGS ? ! icons. They will investigate sound, which you can keep track of with the sound meter. You can sneak up on enemies and do a stealth kill.
•With the arrow you can do some jump slow motion attack that freezes you in the air to aim and shoot.
•Horse back combat is back and its like TP, you can do combos like jump off horse enter glider then do slow motion arrow attack.
•Need arrows, why not taunt enemies to have them fire arrows at you while you dodge them then pick up those arrows to use against them.
•There was a giant rock monster that did insane damage where link had to climb it to reach its weak point.
•Guardians are all around, not sure what activates them but when they come alive watch out, their laser takes like 8 hearts.
•Red and blue enemies are back just like in Zelda 1. Blue enemies are far harder.

Gathering and cooking

Spoiler

•Tons of stuff to gather around the world. Most of it is food, apples, meat, mushrooms, fish. Use those for health. You will not find hearts around the world.
•If you don't cook stuff you get a small heart increase. Cook meat and it will heal better. If you cook at a campfire its not a big increase, cook at a cooking pot and you get a big boost.
•At a cooking pot you can mix all kinds of ingredients, throw in plants that give better stamina with some apples and other foods and you may make an elixir that gives you more speed for a certain amount of time.
•All experimental, try countless combinations to get different potions and food items that will aid you.
•One mix gives you 4 extra hearts on top of your 3 that stay with you until you get damaged. Great for fighting tough enemies.
•Lots of ore and other resources that seem to be used to craft but that wasn't shown. Lots of stuff says it can be traded in for rupees which like hearts do NOT appear in the world.
•You can cut down grass to look for insects. Hunt boar for meat. Different times of days will bring out different animals.

OMG I cant believe that just happened

Spoiler

•Use the wolf amiibo from TP and wolf link appears in your game and is your companion until it dies. It will hunt for you, attack enemies, and so on.
•The scale of the world is insane, they would use the scope to see a tower far in the distance and then open the map to show where it is, its crazy how vast the world is.
•These shrines have great puzzles, one is a gigantic spinning gear with spikes, you need to freeze the gears in time to jump around. Another had a series of rooms with giant boulders which needed to be pushed. At one point you take control of a giant hammer to smack the boulder. You can use all your skills to solve these, no set solution, multiple ways to solve all puzzles.

Worried about the map size. I don't want to relive another MGS5 where we have a big open world full of nothing, and I can guarantee that this is what it will be like. No one is able to populate a world map as huge as that with meaningful and interesting stuff. It's going to be vast forests populated by trees that look like they belong in a PS2 game with a few bokoblin towers here and there.
Also, is it stealth confirmed that this is going to be the last WiiU game by Nintendo? Since it's coming both for the WiiU and NX it makes me think that they are going to jump ship completely after they finish this game.

 

[Caim]

I like what I've seen so far, but I got a few worries regarding item durability (I'd rather not spend most of the time gathering gear so I can make my way through the dungeons) and the scope of your special tools. Will they all be bound to that slate thing, or will we find the usual hookshot, boomerang, special boots and so on as regular items?

 

[---]

Lol:

Nintendo presented only one game (who cares about Pokèmon? ) and was still able to focus all the attention on that game.

 

[Caim]

Pokémon S&M barely beats out TESO. Because who cares anymore.

 

[---]

Fuck Pokèmon. The last good chapters were Heartgold/Soulsilver (easily the best ones in the series, and they are two fucking remakes). All the following games were boring (X/Y the worst ones) and had horrible and uninspired creatures. And Pokèmon GO, while interesting on the paper, will probably be shit, thanks to its simplicistic combat mechanics.

 

[Hobo Elf]

People play Pokemon for the online PvP. If you're too pussy to handle team building and turn based combat then I guess Pokemon is too much for you.

I remember buying Ocarina of Time an hour before it came out when I was living in Saratoga in 1998. I played it for 20 hours straight even though I'd already been up for 15. Got to the water level with the boots before passing out. I woke up so depressed that I quit the game, went AWOL from the Navy, and ruined my life. Last Zelda game I ever played.

That being said, I think Z:BW looks pretty fun.

True story bro. I also got catfished into visiting a 350lb phone sex operator from Cleveland at that time. Although this actually happened on my 20th birthday at the beginning of 1999.
