Apparently there was a stampede this morning at e3 to get to the Nintendo booth to play this game. The line for the demo of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was four hours long!

All aboard the hype train

To put that four hours into perspective, Nintendo's booth was huge and every one of their kiosks were for Zelda.

I can't imagine how many hours this will take me to complete. I spent like 70+ hours on Twilight Princess, and far more than that just loving around in Wind Waker. Never played any of the Skyrim or whatnot open world games so have no basis for comparison, but this could be a very, very long play experience for me.

It took me over 200 hours to beat TW3, nowhere near all the sidequests and none of the DLC. So.

Crosspostin' this from the e3 thread, not sure why I didn't think there was a zelda thread lol:

Link opens chests when he's not directly in front of it by kicking it

and if he's not wearing shoes

The subtleties in this game are amazing. Little details like that chest kick, Link's shivering animation, or how he flinches and covers his eyes at a bomb blast really display the kind of passion the team is putting into it.

I think my biggest concern is not with this game specifically, but with what happens after. How are they possibly gonna top what's looking to be the definitive 3D Legend of Zelda?

They make the Breath of the Wild version of Majora's Mask, where they double down on just loving around in the massive world. A massive open world Zelda game filled with nothing but the crazy side-quests.

alternatively it'd be interesting to see a modern take on the super dense but very focused world of MM. take a break from the wind waker style for a while

My friend texted me that he was just about to get his turn at Zelda yesterday, he said it had been about 2:45 and he got there early.

He works for one of Sony's studios and got invited to some big party on Wednesday where he got to chat with Neil Druckmann and Hideo Kojima at the same time :argh: He said Kojima has multiple photographers who basically tail him constantly.

I'm interesting to see Nintendo getting into DLC with this game. It seems primed for it where you can have an existing landmark become the entrance for more content or just add it to the map. And if the game's good enough, who wouldn't want some more?

That meteorite must contain metal or ore of some kind the way it lit up like a beacon. That's probably one of the main sources of rare metals/minerals.

Exactly what I was just discussing with my cousin. The way it lights up definitely means for you to go find it. And I was guessing it'd drop some item you'd use.

Looks like it disappears just as the sun begins to rise. Maybe a rare, space-borne resource that can only be collected at night, like Terraria's fallen stars?

also HOLY gently caress this game is beautiful. Even just scrubbing through the gif every frame is absolutely gorgeous.

I think Breath of the Wild is the perfect illustration of the age-old gamedev adage that ideas are worthless and execution is everything. None of its mechanics are particularly innovative individually, but the way Nintendo synthesized them, and the absurd level of polish and passion they put into them, elevate the game head-and-shoulders above most other open-world titles.

Now I'm just picturing it as an Ubisoft game and it has co-op and some actors are reading off a script to demonstrate the intended experience.

"Got some Bokoblins to our northwest"
"Targeting their sniper"
"My Axe is B.D., i'll throw it to the chief to set up your combo"
"Cover firerod set and ready"
"They spotted us, go go go!"

Camera pans away when the axe misses

Depends on how close the two version are to parity, and whether the NX has enough other stuff going for it to make a worthwhile immediate investment.

i will be getting it for NX because there are zero other games on the Wii U that i wanted when I had a Wii U, so i may as well be an early adopter and hope better stuff comes out more frequently.

I'm getting it for the Wii U since I already own one.

Nintendo should just drop the mic after making this greatest game of all time and switch to third party, or patchinko.

Most likely Wii U but currently I feel like I can be very easily dissuaded into getting it and an NX at launch instead.
