The Deku Tree needs to have a deep booming voice. He's a giant tree FFS. That goron was pretty decent though. Also lol at people who say this game is ugly.

I still didn't buy a Wii U though

I bought a Wii U for the inevitable Zelda game.

Which I already preordered on Switch.

(Splatoon, WWHD and TPHD, SM3DW, and being a better netflix box than the Wii all made it worth it anyway)

I assumed that was the King of Hyrule saying that. Later on I think he says something about "my daughter".

I rewatched it and this is what I heard too, sounded like the same voice and I assumed it was the King.

I like how the game looks when things are within 50 feet of Link, but poo poo on the horizon looks pretty bad and muddy.

i am nooooooot a fan of zelda's face. why are her eyes so ENORMOUS?? She looks like an alien. also i'm not holding out much hope for her being less of a damsel this time around

all the other races look fantastic though. Special shoutout to the shark zora and the sheikah enemy you see at one point.

Her eyes are only like 50% to full on 90s anime eyes, surely they could be much more flying saucer like? Did you not partake in vintage anime?

I pre ordered just the game for Switch, have not preordered a Switch yet though. Kinda hoping it reappears on Amazon since that's where I preordered the game from. I'd rather not deal with any big box stores.

Looks like BotW is going to be my only Switch launch title. I had myself convinced that Mario would be a launch title as well, and I'm proper gutted that it's going to be 10+ months and pissed off at myself for getting my hopes up for no reason. I was 4th in a queue of about 12 people this morning when the GameStop conveniently located here in Bumfuck, Nowhere (postal code = who gives a gently caress) opened and I had no problem getting a grey Switch, I just wish there were more launch titles. Not that I don't have a ludicrous backlog everywhere else, of course.

I'm not interested in any of the special editions of Zelda and I'm just going to pre-order the regular Switch edition on Amazon for the 20% Prime discount, but I'm not going to slag off anyone who really had their heart set on some fun collectibles and got burned. I'm a huge fan of the Lunar RPG series, apart from the hideous abomination on the DS, and I paid nearly $200 last year for a pristine copy of Eternal Blue on the PSX with a copy of the hardcover strategy guide that was still in the plastic wrap.

I really wish I could justify getting a Switch. I really, really want one, even though I can't ignore just how boneheaded a lot of the hardware decisions are and the really unfortunate launch lineup. But I'm pretty determined to play BotW on the Switch and, well, I'm probably not getting one of those for a while, so :smith:

I'm reasonably confident that I will be happy with my purchase in the long-term, but this could be a Wii situation. It took me ages to get a Wii and I never really cared for it after I got one, but the Wii sold like mad. Meanwhile, I adore the Wii U which was a commercial failure.

Now that I think of Zelda, though, I would like to get one of those nice hardcover strategy guides. I have one for just about every main Zelda game there is... even Spirit Tracks, which I don't own.

I actually made a Switch preorder this morning but canceled it a few hours ago in an attempt to be responsible in some vague, probably meaningless way, but man, BotW on the Switch is extremely tempting and it's tough to say no to it. Maybe I'll get lucky and it won't be impossible to get a Switch in March or April when I have a better grasp on whether it's something I should get now or wait a year on.

I'm with you on the Wii and Wii U, too.

If it turns out to look better than it does in those comparison videos, I'll do that. I hope the release version on Wii U isn't that washed out and fuzzy. I try not to be too much of a graphics nerd but that was a pretty stark difference for a game with a really pretty aesthetic.

I knew I forgot someone when talking about how good those short grabs of voice acting are in older 3D Zeldas!

The Great Fairy and her laugh exists to make you happy the game isn't more realistic.

I also think there should not be full voice acting, but the voices they do have are fine, and possibly even good

I wasn't really feeling the old lady in the beginning but everyone else seems good. We don't really know if the person who's voice we hear when we see the Great Deku Tree in the trailer is actually the GDT, or the King of Hyrule, or what.

Yes, but Wolf Link doesn't give you hearts, instead it becomes a doggo buddy that helps you in your adventures. Its health is tied to some boring challenge room bs from TPHD

I hope they don't do something so cool that I want to play the features they bring; I wonder if the Amiibo spoofer works on the Switch.

Also, shoutouts to the homie Bokoblin for that impressive nutsack he's swinging. Is that his weapon?
