I should've mentioned that I'm playing the HD TP on the Wii u so is it somehow easier to do without the motion on? Also is there any good place to get bows or bombs with the bridges out. I couldn't find anyone in castle town

Wait so there are only four dungeons in BotW?

This game is getting less exciting every day.

4 dungeons, most likely 5. Over 100 'shrines' or minidungeons.

Nobody knows how many proper dungeons, there has been no official info on it. If anyone tells you it's 4 they're making it up or guessing or very credulous.

It was a leak, which has been supported by evidence that came out about the game. The leak was there are four massive dungeons and 100 mini dungeons, and this came before Nintendo revealed there are in fact "over 100" shrines. The four pillars surrounding Hyrule castle seem supportive of this theory as well.

If you see something suspicious, bomb it!

Four big dungeons sounds ideal for this game. But I'd also like them to do a 3D Zelda game with like 10 dungeons that only take around an hour to finish the first time ala LttP.

The dungeons in Majora's Mask were loving excellent, with lots of neat puzzles, cool architecture, fun minibosses, a loooooooot of rewards for exploration and great bosses, so I'm not worried at all about a low "main" dungeon count
Not to mention each of them basically being the size of three OoT dungeons.

I hope they go all-out crazy with the dungeon gimmicks this time, ESPECIALLY in the supposed main dungeons. Basically, make each main dungeon as unique as Stonetower Temple, and put even crazier stuff into the 100 minidungeons. This is gonna be GOOD.

Biggest mysteries for me, so far: how they're gonna handle classic Zelda bosses (not huge wandering enemies, but actual boss encounters - you took so much from Shadow of the Colossus already, let's see you do the logical thing next, please), and what towns are gonna be like. I could live with lots of desolate landscape with few NPCs, and one central sidequest hell town like Windfall Island.

We don't know anything about horses / fast-travel yet, do we?

I kinda hope there aren't towns and instead just a few crazy people living in caves like the first game.

BotW takes place in a Hyrule where Ganon won, right? Let's have that post-apocalyptic Zelda game.

You can get arrows in Castle Town - one of the Gorons in the empty house on the SW side of the main plaza, next to the cafe, will sell them to you. I think you're SOL on the bombs front at that point though.

No, that was a crazy old man who propped up all the dehyrdated corpses of his neighbors and did characters for all of them through a PA system. The difference is subtle, but important :colbert:

This hypothetical zelda old man didn't develop a corpse obsession, which lands him safely in "kooky" territory instead of being basically a Card Against Humanity. Shade's arc does have a pretty good twist ending that really hammers home how horrible his life is, though.

I would enjoy a dwindling populace of weird hermits in caves. BUT I also want to see Zelda finally do a crazy bustling town, similar to and more fleshed out than TP Castle Town but not on rails. Like you fall down a hole after braving some abandoned, desolate part of wilderness and then BAM, underground metropolis.

Really curious about what direction character design will go in. Link is fairly reserved in style, if a little muppet-y. His face is definitely not Disney like SS Link and much plainer than TP.

The features of Old Man and the monks are definitely exaggerated and much more cartoony. So I wonder what the exact spectrum will look like.

I'm a little bummed that we might never see a style like WW again, outside of handheld games. The chibi designs were really nuanced in terms of anatomy and movement and seemed to have been influenced by African sculpture.

While I like the other Zelda styles, I still think WW is unparalleled in terms of cohesive art direction that really elevated the gameplay.

Have we seen Link wearing anything else? I'm assuming the game is going to have armor pieces so you can clownsuit poo poo together and dress Link up however. I'm really hoping there's throw-back outfits for Link so we can look like Link from any other Zelda. The LTTP/LA/LBW is the best.

Yeah, we saw different armor (or even hot hot shirtless Link) in the demo. You can bet that Classic Green Link will be the ultimate armor or something.

So far:

-tan shirt/brown pants
-champion shirt (blue shirt from promotional material)
-quilted shirt (green shirt with undershirt)
-knight armor
-samurai outfit and top-knot hairdo
-jedi hood

Probably missing some.

Hereby it is manifest that during the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called war; and such a war as is of every man against every man.

The motion controls on the HD version are good. I use the sticks for broad motions then the motion to be more precise.
