The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Wii U/NX March 2017)

[ScienceNonfiction]

Oh wow, didn't notice it before but Aonuma has a Link Between Worlds pin on his left sleeve.

Gamexplain has a kind of "Enhanced Quality" (still potato quality) version of the video. Check it out if you like.

Really need direct feed but I think what the Game Awards footage has shown us looks pretty faithful to what we've seen at E314.

 

[Squirrel Emperor]

It looks like the next time they will show more of the Zelda Wii U will be at the E3 2015 including it's official title.

They say it comes out next year so that's a given.

Hope there's a red-haired ranch girl with far more prominence in the story this time.

That, or Zelda is a redhead - if there's a Zelda at all.

 

[Azuardo]

No, but it could be like Majora's Mask, where Zelda and Ganon don't appear in the main story. I am all for Zelda games going different directions, with less focus on the typical Zelda and Ganon plot. I really don't want to see Ganon in this one.

Seeing people everywhere trying to analyze the trailer and discuss it makes me realize one thing...

Release the Goddamn direct feed footage Nintendo, don't leave us in the cold!

 

[Squirrel Emperor]

Judging by the footage we just saw, I'm assuming there is no direct feed footage. They probably didn't have enough time to put something better together either.

So it appears that we might see bosses that aren't restricted to their own rooms. It makes me wonder if, when the bosses are "awakened", they will roam the dungeon as you fight them. And then, perhaps, escape the dungeon into the overworld... and then goes to attack the nearest village. And if you die, the boss will still be roaming, causing chaos until you defeat it.

That's probably a lot to take in, but this would be really something if this could be implemented.

 

[darkbahamut]

I think they're really just finding ways to make bosses more interesting, and a roaming boss is just one of them. Not all bosses have to do this, but it would really be nice if the bosses weren't just simply there to be defeated. Also, having real consequences for not defeating them fast enough could be something to consider too, provided they're not punishing players.

 

[yeah_93]

It sure would be a nice idea if it was implemented well.

Major bump here.

There was a rumor lately about Zelda coming to Nintendo NX.

Sure, nothing surprising and everyone is speculating about it. So what makes this rumor so special?

Just read this. http://kotaku.com/possible-leak-that-nailed-pokemon-codename-also-lists-n-1761518611

In short, the leaker nailed the code name for Pokemon Sun and Moon. The logo assets Nintendo released had "Niji" in the file name.

We've had many rumors and speculation about Zelda coming to NX but this might be the most credible of them all.

 

[Lulcielid]

Still, rumors remains as such until an authority (Nintendo) officially says so.

It would make sense. The Wii U will be all but dead by the time Zelda is released.

If both Zelda and NX are coming out this holiday, then the game should be on both platforms. Don't think Nintendo wants a situation where the consumer would have to pick between buying Zelda for Wii U or buying a NX with no Zelda on it.

Yeah, was just about to say the same thing. They did it before with Twilight Princess and they should do it again here.

New set of rumors. Comes from Emily Rogers.

Other news outlets like Nintendo World Report and GameXplain have heard similar things too.

 

[Lulcielid]

Voice acting? Interesting...

 

[Lulcielid]

The new Zelda game will be released simultaneously on WII-U and NX in 2017. Moreover, the new Zelda game will be the only playable NINTENDO game at E3 2016.

What an absolute SHOCK!

Spoiler

Not.
