Girl mashed through it but you have dialogue options for Link now, something he said was "that wasn't part of the deal!" to the old man/ww king hyrule/ganondorf, so that's interesting. Coming up next Aonuma explores outside the plateau.

The Shiekah Slate seems pretty integrated with the gamepad. Makes me wonder about NX control options.

Also please stop quoting that GIANT loving GIF my computer can't handle it.

Not sure what the source was, but I think I saw a tweet saying that Aonuma confirmed you can play BoW with the Wii U Pro Controller, so that's something.

I wonder what happens to Dog Link when you jump from somewhere and glide. I hope he gets a little doggie glider.

So. NWPlayer, hacker that is best known for datamining Splatoon and uncovering and making videos of weapons before they came out, basically is helping out a guy leak out the E3 demo. This guy just shoved an SD card into a Wii U at E3, copy/pasted the 16gig demo and now they're working together to get it out there, apparently it'll be out tomorrow and you'll need a modded Wii U for that.

In the intro, Link's clothes are described as being a little small, as if he's grown a little. Not surprising given he's been out for 100 years (though you think he'd not grow at all, but whatever). The voice also mentions that Hyrule needs him to be its light again. This could be a reference to The Hero in general, but it makes me seriously wonder if this is a former child Link who has already saved Hyrule grown up. I'd guess WW or ST's because of Koroks, where this is Hyrule with the great sea finally drained.

E: Alternatively, it could be an AoL sequel, given the general "Zelda One-ness" of the design, Link looking sort of like ALTTP Link, and the barrenness of Hyrule. We don't really know what that timeline would look like in 3D, and Koroks could just be for fun.

It'd be so cool if you found the Wind Waker hero tunic and just wore the ill-fitting outfit in the final confrontation

Xenoblade Chronicles X is apparently 154 square miles, so if this is 140 square miles this will only be the 2nd largest Nintendo world.

It would be 12x the size of Twilight Princess' world, for scale.

Something I forget when accounting for XCX's territory: does the sea count? since the sea is part of the map in that you can travel in it and see yourself in the map when zoomed all the way out.

If it counts then, well. The sea is a pretty huge part, I wanna say about a fourth of the total territory with some mini islands here and there, but mostly just a place that is there but you would mostly ignore it, so it inflates the size of the map a bit unfairly, which would mean that the actual map on BoW is even bigger than the land in XCX.

I wouldn't be surprised to see some kind of wind controlling ability if not the wind waker itself, since you have that glider and wind seems to affect it heavily.

My personal theory is this is either old Hyrule after the ocean dried up, or if Ganon had gotten his wish at the end of wind waker.

Personally I'm thinking it simply takes place sometime after Spirit Tracks, the world kept evolving with its tech until we got these magic iORunes tablet, Demise's spirit resurrected into what is called Calamity Ganon and the world lost all the technological upgrades. Maybe the world is so vertical due to seismic activity messing up the land due to magic bs.

I'm thinking of getting a PS4 around March next year so I'd probably get the Wii U version and then wait a year on the NX when its line-up becomes more robust. That said if it turns out the NX version has no pop-ins and runs a rocksolid 1080p60 then I might just get the NX instead.

God, all this NX talk is getting me extra hype for the reveal because it can happen at any point between now and March. One day we'll just see a tweet saying that the next day there'll be a Nintendo Direct about the NX or "the future of Nintendo" and we'll see the machine, tons of people won't even know and will just suddenly find out that the NX info dropped all of the sudden.

Yeah so it's nice that Nintendo showed a lot of people actually playing the game instead of just lovely trailers so we can get a sense of what the game is actually like

Now I'm just picturing it as an Ubisoft game and it has co-op and some actors are reading off a script to demonstrate the intended experience.

"Got some Bokoblins to our northwest"
"Targeting their sniper"
"My Axe is B.D., i'll throw it to the chief to set up your combo"
"Cover firerod set and ready"

It occurred to me that it will be interesting to see how Nintendo makes an open world game like that work without a real progression system. Every other similar game has you gaining XP (of a sort at least) over the game that you can put into increasing you health and other attributes. Presumably this game still uses heart containers to increase health (although we haven't seen any), but what about other factors like speed or stamina, Will they tied into gear or items? Or are you going to go through the whole game with a fairly similar Link? I can't wait to see what they do.

I think it'll be what those spirit orbs you get from completing shrines do, just skill tree points so you upgrade stuff. Like finish 20 shrines and dedicate them only to stamina and you'll reach the top of the stamina tree, however you can still have more stamina due to potions and there's a set limit, so ultimately if you were so inclined you could temporarily reach this peak stamina just by getting some ingredients while exploring if you don't want to put orbs in stamina.

Playing Majora's Mask for the first time and I don't think there's much in videogames as satisfying as starting a cycle and re-beating the Snowfall Temple boss (which owns), getting your sword sharpened, clearing off the goron race entrance, winning it, buying another bomb to open up the ranch and then see whatever it is i'll have to do to get Epona all before noon. Videogames truly are fantasy if I can get so much poo poo done in the morning.

Wouldn't be too shocked if there's more apps after you clear the plateau and that it's relatively quick to get that one if you go on a certain path.

Also, went to Nintendo's BotW page to see if they had some official phone wallpapers or something and this game's genre is "Open-Air Adventure" :allears:

Jellymouth posted:

So here's something that has me curious that I haven't seen many people speculate about :
In the very first gameplay demo that was shows at this year's E3, right after Link is finished talking to the old man for the first time, whoever is in control starts randomly flailing their weapon about, hitting the old man and causing him to jump back, change idle animations into a kind of fight-or-flight stance, and remark "easy there" or something like that.

Now, given the whole theme of "you can go anywhere and do anything right from the start," I took this to mean that maybe murdering some NPCs might be a mechanic, or at least murdering the old man for his sweet sweet sailcloth. It would be a HUGE and very unlikely departure from Zelda conventions, and even if its just regulated to randos in the wilderness and outside of towns it would probably require the game have a minimum of a T rating, but I can sort of see how it could be a possibility. Perhaps if you tried to attack NPCs in major towns and such, you would automatically be approached by a guard and thrown out of town/in jail as you would if you were caught sneaking about in other Zelda titles.

Am I crazy, or did anyone else get that from attacking the old man?

Maybe it's only him that will have such reactions to being attacked until you finally get him to aggro and he pretty much one-shots you, however if you bullshit your way to victory then you beat the game.

Bomb arrows should allow for boulders to get massive momentum in stasis so if you shoot exactly under it so it goes straight up and then go to the other end of the plank you should reach the airship early.

I really dug the motion controls but I won't blame anyone that couldn't get into them, it was a big enough problem that a lot of people couldn't do them and heck, I myself can't get stabs consistently.

SS has some flaws but I still dug it quite a lot, great dungeons, great bosses, zones being mini-dungeons on themselves was fun but boy oh boy was the sky overworld kinda nothing, at least it was a vast nothing rather than a nothing series of corridors like TP.

This is something I've always wondered of the Skull Kid bit, IIRC the first time you go through you only have sound to guide you, second time it's at night and you can see the light of SK's lantern as well as the music. Whose backwards decision was it to make the second time easier instead of more difficult?

I felt like Epona's controls were fine, just that most of the game's corridors and backing away is the worst part of Epona's controls, so it's a shitshow.
