Breath of the Wild E3 Trailer/Discussion

[thane98]

I thought I'd go ahead and get a thread a going since we have a name and a much more detailed look at the gameplay now. Official title is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Here's the official trailer:

YOU SEE THAT MOTHER****ING MOUNTAIN?
YOU CAN CLIMB IT

My favorite was how he cut the tree to cross the chasm. THAT WAS AWESOME.

I'm interested to see how this all plays out. It almost looked like an open world RPG to me, to be honest. Also, voice acting will take some getting used to with Zelda, even if it's used sparingly.

Cutting down trees, cooking food, burning grass, stripping for a swim, voice acting.... There are so many new features in this game. The environment and enemy design also looks incredible.

ITS UNCHARTED NOW

And I think it was incredible how the logo was all rusted and broken apart. Looks like @Deus was on the right track about the tech being old.

The logo is a bit of a throwback to A Link to the Past. I wonder if it has any significance.

So yeah I am officially excited for this game and cannot wait to play it. It looked beautiful and extremely sexy.
Link looks like such a versatile little badass in this game. I can't wait to cut down trees and climb mountains.

Versatile in his weapons as well. But the Master Sword is there as well, so I wonder if Link will be skilled with all weapons from the start or will he have to increase his skill with various weapon types.

how the **** is the master sword rusted away? damn Link does a poor job at upkeep.

anywho, I'm going to cool down with EPIC HYPE and move over with more complaints...the ENEMY DESIGN. Holy **** those bokoblins (or whatever they are) look like comical enemies. why must they stick with that TWW/SS design philosophy? make the enemies look like threats, not cartoons.

It looks like we've also got different tunics and quite possibly the ability to sneak around rather than approaching enemies directly. It all looks really, really different from the old Zeldas. But at the same time, I'm impressed. Overall, this is definitely the best game I've seen this E3 by a large margin.

First impressions:

1.) Voice acting is in the game. Words cannot explain how relieved I am that this Zelda game won't be lacking voices in 2017. The bits we got sounded decent as well, although I've found out I'm immune to bad voice acting for the most part.

2.) "Breath of the Wild" is the stupidest 3D title name we've gotten so far. I understand that the title is usually indicative of the plot, but "Breath of the Wild" seems far too generic even for a Zelda game. This could change of course with more context or with hindsight next year. Also, it just doesn't role off the tongue like past 3D titles, which is a shame.

3.) Exploration and the environment is finally in the forefront once again, which is why the title makes some degree of sense. The vast and varied environments are giving me Xenoblade Chronicles X vibes, which is exactly what I had hoped.

4.) Was the Master Sword rusted? This would seem to indicate that it takes place very late in the timeline, perhaps at the tail-end of the Child or Downfall.

This is exiting, the game feels strange to me but it seams to be meeting my expectations. I'm not used to the art style at this point it feels too cell shaded. During the first teaser trailer I thought the art style was perfect, but seeing it now it looks like I will have to learn to love it.

Yeah, I hate the SS bokoblin design. They suck.

It'll be interesting to see how far they went with the voice acting.

Yeah. But I expect the title to link in with the story, so it will probably make more sense later, and hopefully will grow on us.

3.) Exploration and the environment is finally in the forefront once again, which is why the title makes some degree of sense. The vast and varied environments are giving me Xenoblade Chronicles X vibes, which is exactly what I had hoped.

I hope it does exploration way better than Xenoblade X. Like, 100x better, because I wasn't overly excited about how Xenoblade forced you to explore.

Yeah, I find that interesting. The title logo seemed to indicate a state of disrepair as well.
