It's in the newest trailer.


Me, I'm heading south east to find the Deku Tree first, probably via Lake Hylia. That or to the massive canyons from the "Beyond the Plateau" E3 video.

i hope they do this and i hope that it's a secret item that you get as a reward for exploring rather than a main quest item. zelda games don't have enough secret items and when they do they're usually kind of boring or pointless but this feels like a game where the hookshot could be useful/fun but not mandatory

It was reported that you can choose the language in the newest Zelda, but can you do it with Japanese audio and English subtitles? Nope. It's all or nothing.

Nintendo posted:

“In the case of Nintendo Switch, if you change the language of the system, you can change the game to Japanese, but that will change everything to Japanese. Unfortunately, it is not possible to play with English text, for example, and Japanese voices.”

I didn't think I was going to make an effort to jump off the plateau anywhere specifically, but the more I think about it, the more the opposite direction to Hyrule Castle sounds like a good idea.

Art is dumb as Hell. Subjective crap that's a bunch of people with too much time and disposable income arguing over what's good when both things are bad to a sane observer.

So video games are totally art.

I don't understand all the people praising the Japanese VO and calling the English VO mediocre or bad when we've literally heard less than a minute of voice acting in the game so far. Like half of the comments on it I see are people saying the English Zelda doesn't cry well enough which is pretty creepy.

I just want to keep link as a silent protagonist as much as I can. I was pretty impressed with the English VO. Just prefer to not play that way. I will and I'm not sad. Just a weird decision. Almost like it never occurred to them that people would want to play that way.

How fortunate for me, to be enough of a weeaboo that I can read Japanese. Not that there's actually anything wrong with the English voices, from what we've heard so far. I just want to hear both!

Toad King posted:

Why is this creepy, though? I don't agree with them in this case, but bad acting is annoying, even if it's limited to just one of several emotions the performer is called on to do.

As good as some of the voices seem to be in the five seconds worth of japanese voiceover I've heard, I hate the high pitched squealing from Zelda.

English Zelda's cry is good. The Japanese one wails too much. Well, unless you like your girls sounding like chipmunks during sex, I guess.

To put it another way, "Unless you are into the whole Japanese women are ultra feminine timid creatures who only make high pitched sounds thing."

Throughout the game the player will walk past numerous signs. Link will, unprompted by the player, proceed to read those signs out loud and then add in a thoughtful "Hmm..." or a sarcastic "Hm." at the end.

So where are you guys going to set out for first? I'm thinking of heading south - I've had enough of cold and snow, between Skyrim and it being January in Wisconsin right now.

Shooting straight for Castle Hyrule just to see if the developer statements that you can just say gently caress it and go to the endgame are true.

Edit: I'm really interested about the big square/rectangular structures, such as a) at the very top of the map slightly to the left of centre, or b) at the very bottom, due south of the plateau's left edge

Thing is, it all depends on the reason she's crying. If her whole village just got killed, the Japanese VO is a pretty good wail of despair. If her dog's gone missing, then the English one is better.

I didn't see the statement but my guess is that the end-game will be technically accessible but Link will be woefully unprepared making it near impossible to do immediately. I only guess this because the alternative seems like a poor game design choice. I hope I'm right since obviously the any% runs will brute force their way through the end game right away anyways which is gonna be fun.

Things I must admit before starting Breath of the Wild

I have not played the following Zelda titles :negative:

Console games
Majora's Mask - Not played at all
Windwaker - Got like... 80% of the way through the main story
Skyward Sword - Missed it entirely

Handhelds
Oracle series - Not touched at all. I have them on my 3DS tho.. should play.
Minish Cap - Remember emulating it, but not getting far into it
Spirit Tracks - Like... 90% of the way through it.

Never touched the 4 Swords or TriForce Heroes games.

:negative:

Currently replaying Link Between Worlds on Hero difficulty and it is as fun as it was the first time.
