The Maroon Hawk posted:Since shrines were supposed to be mini-dungeons, this kinda makes me feel like you’ll at least partially get your wish here, with the caves being seamless mini-dungeons in TotK. I certainly hope so! I am also hoping that between the sky islands and the caves, we get the equivalent of shrines without loading screens.

The shot in the last trailer of Demise (I’m telling you, it’s him) looking out over a gigantic Blood Moon certainly made me a lot more inclined to believe this or something similar could happen Captain Hygiene posted:It's great, rolling around and doing tricks around a giant neon monster adds a whole new feel to the fight.

based on the trailer my guess is that TotK will have proper full-sized dungeons but they will be integrated more smoothly into the open world (like Hyrule Castle in the first game)

My greatest BotW shame is that I only went there at the very end when I was super OP, and I was just sorta ready for the game to be done, so I beelined to Ganon

It's going to be cool when none of the music from the recent TotK trailer is actually in TotK, and instead 80% of the soundtrack is just the BotW soundtrack, with the other 20% being new beeps and boops*. * this is just a joke, BotW has some of the best sound direction of any game I've ever played (though I'd still like for there to be more music like the trailer music in the game itself)

I'd like if I had more things to spend essence on like defense or something? It feels weird tooling around in BoTW and knowing that the difference between 10 hearts or 5 is actually pretty minimal protection compared to having big armor in the first place and thats all just grind.

TotK will remove stamina and replace it with charisma. Everyone will only be in love with Link if you invest heavily in your charisma. Otherwise they will all be disgusted.

I’m really hoping Aonuma just like, turned off overworld tracks for the gameplay video or something, because the BOTW minimalist sound direction worked great for a post-apocalyptic setting but now we’re in a mid-apocalyptic setting that’s begging for some bangers as we traverse the world

The kids found them while going on an adventure like this the scandal part was that the crawlspace guy was the "landlord" of the people who lived in the house, though it turned out he was illegally subletting the place while living in the crawlspace for free. what a lifehack! to my knowledge there has been no Zelda dungeons based on this story... until TotK, that is.......

Some of the bigger sky islands, or collections of sky islands, probably function like dungeons. Even setting aside the bits we’ve seen of Link fighting alongside companions, for instance, in the background of some trailer shots we’ve seen a place where there’s a stack of sky islands on top of one another. You can probably get to the first one via another island, then you have to do some kind of puzzle or fight on each level to unlock a way to get up to the next one. Put a boss on the top of the stack and that’s a dungeon. That makes me wonder though when Link is going to get that glider we’ve seen him riding. Would that make it easy to pop up to whatever sky island you want? I’d been figuring that getting to each cluster of islands is meant to be an exploration challenge but maybe you can just fly there starting from whenever you get that glider.

Blaziken386 posted:yeah, for all that i like fun outfits, the fact that good armor is the difference between an attack doing 8 hearts of damage or 2 hearts of damage is a little bit annoying. specifically because upgrading the armor, is annoying. Not just the "each armor piece upgrade needs its own animation with the great fairy, gently caress you" part, or the resources being annoying to get, but stuff like the beauty and majesty of the spiritual dragons being undermined by the fact that the game won't let you fully upgrade your armor unless you camp in front of its house and shoot it in the face 20 times. The excitement of the Star Pieces replaced by learning how they spawn because you need like 40 of them to upgrade Amiibo armor and cycling standing around on Dueling Peaks all night until one drops.

The glider is probably something you'll only get after exploring a lot, just because it doesn't look cobbled together like the other flying machines they've shown.

Albatrossy_Rodent posted:Horses in BotW are good, I like how they stop automatically when there's an obstacle and how they get scared at lightning. Obviously you should be able to collect materials on horseback, but the bigger issue is that they designed this world around climbing, not horseback riding, so when you start a journey on horseback there will almost certainly come a point when you have to get off this is one part where i'm quite sure totk will really improve the world design because not only are they now building on top of a previous world and can just add stuff to spots where it feels like something cool should've been but wasn't, you're regularly diving towards the ground from really high so the highest spots will be the first thing you see when coming down, and they've definitely taken that into account when redesigning the world.

Yeah, I agree that they definitely intended a horse-first world. It was literally the very first thing we ever saw of BotW after all! It's meant to be a Big Deal you can't bring a horse into Gerudo and other extreme climes, and they went to enormous pains to ensure that NPC density, sight lines, shrine markers, etc. all follow a precise flow from the roads. I think they always intended climbing and gliding to be important, but I also think they expected roads to be anchors that players would peel off from, explore, and then return to but yeah, everything we're seeing from TotK is one big "oh, so that's how you want to play BotW? ok, we'll design accordingly", which is really exciting

i already feel bad for the horses in TotK lol. you think people neglected to use horses in BotW, you ain't seen nothing yet! i'm almost hoping they'll find some way to not make horseback the obviously least efficient form of travel in TotK but i'm really not holding my breath. you probably can't even use the poor things in the underground areas either, and you definitely can't bring them to the sky islands, so where would you ever want one?? all signs point to them only existing in the game because the system was already ready, so why remove it even if it's a bit vestigial.

I never actually rode a horse at all in BOTW, I just walked/ran everywhere, I just found it easier than having to navigate around rocks or enemies ontop of a stupid skittish horse.
