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.[/quote[
It'll be interesting to see how far they went with the voice acting.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah, I find that interesting. The title logo seemed to indicate a state of disrepair as well.
