I still can't get over Wolf Buddy Link. Or Bill blowing himself up, or Chico... being Chico.

I love feeling this hyped for a Zelda game again.

I'm a little sad that the towns and NPCs (other than Old Man) were removed for the demos, but I can get behind preserving some secrecy.

I really can't get over how great this all looks. I'm really hoping that we get more info in the 9 months between now and the NX launch.



PS: My favorite Zelda game givin' me wolf DLC is just so good.

Actually, that's a bit worrying. Not about Zelda itself, but it makes me wonder if NX is going to have zero backwards compatibility...

Well, there's a pretty good chance it wont. Kimishima stated the NX will not be a continuation of the Wii and Wii U, and there's strong evidence supporting the cartridge rumor.

I'm so glad at all the creative decisions involved in this game. I'm also really glad Miyamoto had a role in it, small as it was.

I saw a video where someone was hold up on a lookout tower, surrounded by bokoblins. They started foraging around in the grass and a nearby pond for rocks to throw at Link.

Are there really that many bad ones? I think most open world games are kinda fun.

I think Watch_Dogs squandered a lot of goodwill toward open world games by promising the moon, and then making GBS threads on our lawns.

I would absolutely recommend OoT 3DS. The game's still quite fun, and gains quite a bit in being a portable timewaster.

Anyway I just checked and since there was only one Zelda segment on Day 2 of the Treehouse stream, it was actually pretty easy to pinpoint the Talus fight.

I've been trying to figure out what's a good area between obligatory and useless for the Breath of the Wild amiibos.

For the Guardian, I think the simplest thing for it to do is summon a Gaurdian fight. Once per day, you could battle one for good loot drops.

The Rider Link amiibo could be how you bring Epona into the game. Normally you just try and tame any old horse, but with the amiibo, you get a chance to tame Link's legendary horsefriend.

The Archer Link amiibo gave me an idea that I'm really interested in. I like the idea that at any point during a game, you could scan it and save all your gear to it. When starting a new file, you have a prompt to scan an amiibo. Scan the Archer Link and you get all the gear you had saved. Start out with lots of toys right away.

It's too tall probably, but you could sequence break by just continually eating meat to refill the stamina gauge

There are stamina boosting mushrooms on the plateau itself. I bet with enough foraging you could cook up something that would let you make it down. Might take longer than just speeding through the trials, but drat if it's not a fun challenge to consider.

I think the game is showing us how most old style items will be acquired, trading spirit stones for them. Given the nature of the game, I wonder how many will be dedicated to making certain travel aspects easier. Heck, I wonder what those items will look like. Bows and Hammers are just found weapons now (though I hope there's still a legendary one you can get for helping Gorons) and bombs are part of your "spellbook". I think the hookshot is still a possibility, and it would be a rad way to assist climbing.
