Breath of the Wild E3 Trailer/Discussion

[CrimsonCavalier]

That little jump Link did while cooking made me think Mabinogi.

Made me think of Monster Hunter.

 

[Farore's Chosen]

I was absolutely floored. It made me think of a Studio Ghibli film. Link hunting reminds me of breath of fire. So many neat ideas. Link cooking made me think of Chef Kirby.

I think this was the best E3 trailer.
It was as if Zelda took a page out of Team Ico's use of atmosphere, and boy, it pays off.

That music especially. That was so fantastic.

More gameplay going on now for anyone interested on the Nintendo stream. I think they're showing off the opening, but it's tough to tell.

Edit: Yeah, we're going full-blown RPG now by the looks of it.

Hyrule pretty much seems in ruins. Intriguing

Yeah, originally, I thought they might do a post-SS thing where you just settled and were kinda creating a kingdom, but this... this is really cool.

This has restored my faith in the franchise. I don't care about the lore in Zelda I just want great gameplay and design, the overworld certainly delivers that from what we've seen. I'm bursting to see the Dungeons though, I hope they look as varied as previous instalments.

Also, it looks like the Koroks are back, and looking pretty much exactly like they did in Wind Waker. That ought to give the Timeliners something to chew on, seeing as it creates rampant contradictions to the "timeline". Bwahahahahahaa!

You can sledge down a mountain on your shield and fire a burning arrow at butterflies, best game ever 100/100.

 

[Adventurer of Hyrule]

This is my dream Zelda game, in cant believe it. Its a mix of SoTC, Ghibli and Skyrim. A great adventure cocktail.

Looks ****in' fantastic. They definitely went back to the series' roots with this one. It's certainly a breath of something to see a game focus purely on gameplay in a industry saturated with heavily cinematic experiences.

I've missed a good portion of the actual gameplay they've shown on stream. Have we seen any additional characters, or possibly even a companion?

I'm going to be a little sad if Breath of the Wild has no companion - everything about the gameplay and world looks spectacular, but I do enjoy having a companion with me in the Zelda games.

Well saw an old man by Resurrection Cave at the start. He said Hyrule was in ruin.

Also, the girl narrator might be the companion.

That's what I was thinking at first, but I get the feeling that the voice at the beginning is Zelda

Sorry to double post, but I've gotta say - bombs look really different. They're going through a shrine that gives bombs on streams. You have unlimited access to bombs, and they don't explode on a timer - you choose when they detonate. It also looks like you have the ability to use bombs of different shapes (the people on stream mentioned spherical and square bombs). Definitely a little different.
