That's why his tunic is blue and he doesn't have a hat

Unf.

But seriously if that guy is playable and can freely fly around the overworld, GOTY every year.

Naw, that's probably Roam. They're finally using him in a game.

EDIT: Christ, I can't watch more than 10 seconds of those game awards. Why can't gaming stay a "underground" thing? Why does everything need to be mainstream?

Its just part of the throwback to the original Zelda they are doing with this.

I think Red Outfit is kinda ugly BUT now we have a second birdman. A goddess statue. Chameleon Lizalfos. Creepy Skinny Moblin. Neat!

game looks like it has the same boring non-aggressive combat that has traversed the 3d zeldas since WW

Totally agree. As a an obsessive OCD/completionist type, this is a total dick move. MM did something similar and I hated it.

What does MM do? That you have to exchange all of the titles, you mean?

Switch has probably been the main target development with WiiU being secondary since 2015. Although personally I don't care about occasional framerate skips

Footage of those ruins getting blasted by the pink magic: it's a town or settlement at the base of Hyrule Castle. There's a wrecked up fountain and a red banner that both look a lot like the ones in Twilight Princess' Castle Town.

i've played through dark souls 1 several times so i think i can handle whatever frame rate issues this game might have. hopefully it is better on the switch though

I haven't been watching any of the footage. So am really shocked that ... actually, I'm not surprised that Nintendo is 20 years behind the times. Oh wait, make that 25.

Voice acting in games is overrated. It's not needed. Textboxes for life.

SeANMcBAY

I prefer text mostly for NPCs and smaller stuff but I hope it has voice for major cutscenes. The cutscenes that had moving lips in TP and SS got a little ridiculous with no voice acting.

It also wouldn't really fit for Zelda, I feel. It's been a master of using minimalism in voicework, because you know exactly how everyone sounds but they don't need to voice a script or localize voicework.

It also lets those wordless vocalizations stand far stronger. Ganondorf's raspy-rear end smoker's voice from recent years (and his much clearer OoT laugh) stands out great, but it would've been annoying if he spoke like that for extended periods. Skull Kid not having a voice for his lines lets him be menacing in a way his really high voice for his laughing and screaming wouldn't, and lets the line between him and the Mask be very blurry. Midna having constant voiced lines (...sort of) highlights just how weird and outside of the rest of Hyrule she is.

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
Mayor characters being voiced (in cutscenes) is pretty good.

During normal gameplay in an openworld game? it's the worst.

I'm down for hearing Zelda say stuff, but I don't want to hear the same seven .mp3 files blasted at me anytime i get close to an NPC.
