I wonder how all of the Rare people feel when the response to Nuts & Bolts was primarily confusion and upset but now this has huge excitement with people referencing N&B.

They created the Wind Waker of Banjo Kazooie and were hated for it because people can't let go of the 64 games, despite them being full of nineties jank

Wondering if stamina won't be as important because so much of your vertical traversal will be with the abilities. Perhaps you can choose to upgrade hearts, stamina, or battery life?

Fine with me, i was one of those players that bee-lined straight for the master sword first, before increasing my stamina.

The new gameplay trailer has restored my faith in this game 110%. I had a poo poo-eating grin the entire time because fusing and crafting stuff is. paradoxically. the most obvious, and surprising, move they could have made. I was afraid it would BotW "refined" but this is doubling-down on what made the Great Plateau the best introductory area in any game, ever (and possibly the best part of BotW). On the Plateau, you had to use creativity to survive, whether it was rolling boulders on enemy camps, gathering up spicy food to climb the mountain, hacking a tree to create a bridge, etc. All of that teased at what you could do in the game...but then the Paraglider and higher enemy HP negated it all. Who cares if you creatively trap a Silver Moblin when it only does 50 damage to it?

TotK will hopefully keep the creative aspect of the game a central piece of the puzzle from start to finish. Granted, players will optimize the fun out of it quickly, but as long as I can take a random weapon, put a monster part on it, and imbue it with Electric Chu Jelly...that's a system that will pay dividends for a very long time.

From a story perspective, I'm very curious why Zonai tech has replaced Sheikah almost universally. I mean, I'm sure there's some narrative handwave that accomplishes this but damned if I know what it is. It has to happen from the very beginning. Maybe some time travel shenanigans?

Jerryrigged equipment and crafting also justifies the existence ofa degradation mechanic better than the previous game did.

Can't believe they reused the map. Standard game development is to scrap all code and tear down your office and start fresh. No reusing code, hire new employees, nothing from the last game carries over

No, the issue is that we already explored it. I hope caves/sky islands are a whole game's worth of exploration, but if that's the case, they certainly haven't demonstrated it.

You do know that, unlike real life, nothing prevents Nintendo from modifying vast areas of the map, right?

It does at least help build the idea that they're places that escaped Ganon's wrath - they're just not important enough for the Big Evil to bother with. Just a tiny lil' fishing village with like five people in it, tucked away on a remote beach, not worth worrying about when you have all of Castle Town to obliterate

I thought it was Zelda keeping Ganon in check for a century in some weird spirit battle until Link came, that prevented the rest of Hyrule being a smoking ruin

Full of bugs, random crashing, the devs only doing the bare minimum work to patch it into a playable state, selling bug ridden dlc, and expecting fan modders to fix their lovely work for them years after release?

This is true of the destruction school but the other magic schools level p well. It's a shame that Pure Battlemage is off the table, but the build diversity is still wild. The character my SO plays is like playing an entirely different game than my character.

(People say "but everyone's just a stealth archer" but that's not really true, everyone minors in stealtharchery while majoring in something else.)

I used Conjuration in my last build, but it burns my rear end (pun intended) that my Dark Elf Fire mage I made at launch was gimped. I had him looking like a Dervish/moorish warrior, too; magic robes and leather greaves/gauntlets.

God this is some really good analysis of the gameplay about how Recall is the power that sticks out as different from the rest, and how its icon and similar ones on the special edition OLED Switch and on the pins that come with the collectors edition of the game might hint at Link's other powers in the game:

Was Linkle even in the second Hyrule Warriors? Feels like a miss if not.

According to a tier list I watched, she is not.

Honestly, I'm genuinely curious as to why they bothered creating her in the first place.
She uses two crossbows ffs, she could be cool af, like a Demon Hunter from Diablo 3.

MC's two biggest problems are being on the GBA: there's not enough buttons so you have to use the menu a lot, and the overhead view isn't pulled back enough due to the lower resolution, so you don't see much.
