Topic: Zelda : Breath of the Wild at E3

[Jazz Paladin Productions]

Okay, this is one of the few games other than Bloodstained that I am really looking forward to. Starfox Zero had the potential to be an insta-buy for me, but it would have really had to nailed the control scheme for me to have purchased it, and that seems to have been one of it's pitfalls according to many a site...

However, the new Zelda looks fun! The new video today makes the sheer scale of the environment to be enormous, fun, adventurous--if still a bit too cartoon-ish for some elements, but that's something I can easily overlook, especially given how much the history of the franchise has utilized many similar aesthetics.

Here's the latest vid I was referring to:

I was sold at Skyrim Zelda.

I, too, look forward to Zelda of the Colossus.

Out of skyrim zelda, Witcher zelda, and souls zelda, Shadow of the colossus game me the vibe after I rewatched the trailer.

And is it just me, or was the frame rate chopy? I was think it was because of the stream but, it did not look as fluid as the reveal trailer or the last gameplay video showed before this. It just looked so off to me.

It's looks really cool to me but there's a couple of things I'm concerned with.
- The lack of airborne enemies so far
- the land still looks very vast and empty

The redeeming factors
- Link can jump and climb
- it's beautiful full stop
- finally has voices (although I pray for a Japanese option)
- some of the mini bosses (rock golem) seem interesting
- the use of technology, fuck yes
- looks highly customisable

I wonder if it is kind of like a remake of the first zelda. Twin peaks was it called? Lots of LoZ vibes sepcifically the first one.

[theANdROId]

...twin peaks?  I don't remember that one... :-/  Did I miss something?

[Neobelmont]

The compared link crouching on a peak that was supposed to be a reference to zelda one and I recall that being the named they called it or was I mistaken?

[zangetsu468]

Wasn't twin peaks a TV show..

If the Master Sword is rusted into it's pedestal and doesn't get used in the game then it may be a remake of LOZ.

Given the original hero is resurrected I'm thinking it may take place before TP or at the end of TP's timeline after FSA.

I don't know why, since climbing and parkour are in nearly every game now, but I marked out when I saw Link climbing the building, and even more so while he climbed that rock that, in any other game, would be impossible to climb.

I'm liking the possibilities of this, but I just had this nagging feeling of "...but is it ZELDA?" in the back of my head. Probably because of the very few enemies it showed. It'll be interesting to see more.

Enemies are no longer randomly scattered because they now live in camps and band together apparently.

What I find cool is that the environment affects your ability to survive.

This is looking great, no horrible gimmick controls, open world, and lacking the tropes that makes Zelda (in a bad way).
Look forward to playing it, Still can't say I like Zelda in general, the Fanbase is REALLY bad, I'd say worst than Sonic on some levels.

How exactly does Zelda have a terrible fan base? I see the same traits with fanbases of other games. Are you saying the fans are too critical, too fan boyish or generally bad people?

Waaay too fanboyish
