Breath of the Wild What Feel do you think Zelda U will give to its Audience?

[Lozjam]

For example, Wind Waker really gave the feel that you were going on a huge adventure. TP felt like an epic quest. OoT, felt like a timeless story. MM felt like a Dark Narrative.

It's really hard to say what feel Zelda U will have... But what do you guys think? Do you think it will feel like an Epic Quest, or a big adventure, or a healthy dosage of both? What do you think Zelda U would feel like?

 

[Soul]

Probably something like Wind Waker on land. I feel they're going for the huge adventure feel.

 

[Dio]

Its impossible to say for now but from the old footage I would guess a big adventure. I don't think it would start out really serious but it could turn more that way as the game progressed.

From the light of the game and the appearance of Link, i would like a feeling of conquest, a pinch of archeology… and some nostalgic moments with some references to the others Zelda ;-)

 

[AncientPoe]

The feel of playing my first new Zelda title in half a decade or more.

 

[Spirit]

A journey of discovery, like how Zelda is supposed to be.

 

[ZeldafreakCJM]

A mockery of Link? A handful of terrible and cliche WRPG tropes in a desperate appeal to remain fresh?

At least I hope I'm wrong.

 

[the8thark]

Apart from fun?

 

[Salem]

Being lost in a huge world.

Same. I'm hoping to FINALLY get another well written Zelda tale that has personal investment and takes itself seriously in the vein of TP. The Gerudo symbols make me want this kind of plot.

But seeing what Nintendo has made in the last couple of years I highly doubt this is a possibilty.

This is what we have FFXV for.

Xenoblade X? Not developed by Nintendo directly, but it's still one of the Wii U's highlights. I also think that Nintendo is going to borrow some cues from X, especially if the Zelda U rumors prove to be true.

And I have the FFXV demo on my PS4. It's fun, but I'm not a huge fan of some things it does. Placing the attack command on the O button is just completely backwards from what most Playstation action games do; before release, I hope that they remap it to the ◻ button. The weapon options were also kind of silly, striking similar to Kingdom Heart instead of Final Fantasy. I didn't get much out of the world until I could finally fight the Iron Giant, and from there my expectations were met.

Xenoblade X?
Splatoon?
Xenoblade Chronicles?
Kid Icarus Uprising?
Bayonetta 2?
Fatal Frame V?

Xenoblade definitely counts as a Nintendo game, the same as Fire Emblem and Advance Wars being Nintendo games despite being made by IS.

 

[Farore's Chosen]

A grand, interactive adventure!

 

[Azure Sage]

Based on the footage we've seen of the overworld, I'm guessing it will be an adventure through a mostly unexplored world full of monsters and some villages here and there. I'm hoping for a giant city but based on what we saw I highly doubt we'd get that.

Xenoblade X?
Splatoon?
Xenoblade Chronicles?
Kid Icarus Uprising?
Bayonetta 2?
Fatal Frame V?

One of these doesn't belong with the others...
