They would have to respawn after some distance I would think. I doubt they would waste memory keeping that kind of data after you've traveled a certain distance. As well I would assume if you pass time at a camp fire things will reset, don't know about natural time progression.

Oh nice, this is the best player I've seen with the game. The more I see of direct feed from the game, the more I'm understanding the decision to do away with an overworked theme. I'm still torn about it, but I don't hate the idea like I used to.
Game changer
I hope there are still a few traditional items separate from the weapons that you find in chests throughout the world. Stuff like the Boomerang, Hookshot, Hammer, Whip, Iron Boots, Hover Boots, Ball and Chain, etc. They could be unbreakable weapons that you upgrade with points earned from completing shrines. It would be cool to upgrade from the Boomerang to the Magic Boomerang, or from the Hammer to the Skull Hammer, or the Hookshot to the Double Hookshot.
Did anyone else notice this? Is that a meteor that came down and left a pillar of light?

We know that the Fire Rod exists (although you can break it if you're being careless), so there's a good chance that there are other items which go beyond your sword/spear/axe/club/bow.
Yeah. There is a gif somewhere with that slowed down and I had to do a double take lol.
That's so cool :O

Hmmm... I figured. But this can both be a hindrance and a blessing depending on the parameters, I guess. For example, that one player who tried stacking boulders only to find the first one he placed has disappeared. I imaging they couldn't have traveled very far for that to happen and yet, still be surprised by it. Having close-proximity spawn distances would help for messing up puzzles that require precise placement, though, like log bridges.
I suppose we'll have to wait and see considering how far the release version is from now.
Thanks
Yup
And someone dared to "stab" us in the heart with that pillar, lol
Someone's already there:

l think the permanent items are probably going to be replaced with runes. Some runes could have similar functions though, l could easily see a sort of magical hookshot working on every surface allowing you to freely move around like Spiderman.
I just love being able to say "fuck it" and throw a sledge hammer directly into someone's face
Jesus Christ, right in the goddamn face.
Link, you goddamn savage.
It actually happened on the Treehouse stream. They dropped a block in a lake to reach the fake excalibur or something, walked away some distance to find another--not terribly far, as I recall--and the one in the lake had disappeared.Hmmm...

I heard it does.
I wonder how is this triggered. Maybe it is timing based and you need to release ZL in the last moment. Cool mechanic if this is the case, it becomes a risk x reward decision.

The description of the hammer says it's good for mining ore (and it is; the ore breaks way faster), so I've been wondering if it would be super effective against Steppe Talus. We've only seen people fight it with blades.
It does a crit worth 2x damage. This also happens when your weapon breaks.

I love how the game just mysteriously starts with Link waking up, getting on some clothes, and heading towards adventure. No tutorial, barely an introduction cutscene. It's such a refreshing take. It's like an NES game. Like how in II you start the game with Zelda sleep and and you have to wonder how in the hell that happened, and you slowly find out just by playing the game. I love that. I read an interview with Aonuma that said they want the story to be organic in terms of flow and the player themselves have to seek it out. That's such a Japanese old school game thing and I fucking LOVE it.
Everything about this game and the fact something like it exists in modern gaming from a major studio blows my fucking mind.

Wait, you can also take the head of skeletons and just kick it down a mountain... wow.
I could have sworn I saw a tip for fishing in the Treehouse demo during one of the load screens

Wow. This game is so pretty.
oh goddddddd
Okay, let's try this again:
What happens next is pretty cool too. The pitchfork has a charged attack it seems...
Yup

If you look close you can see the comet/projectile/whatever reflected in the water :O
DIS GAME
Eradicate in the other thread gif'd the baseball part.

I could see that being the case, although that would be a bit disappointing.
Fingers crossed (=
Fuck you Nintendo. This shit is at least 8 months away. How do show all of this and expect me to just wait all that time.
Anyone else think Breath of the Wild and Skyward Sword's logos should have been swapped?
You'd think SS would prominently feature the Master Sword and BotW would show the earthy Hylian crest.
Is that just me? Not that I'm losing sleep over it, I love both logos - especially BotW's color scheme.

Notice how the rock hits the Bokoblin twice.
With the current state of Wii U hacking, I don't think it will happen :/
I mean people can data-mine for spoilers, memory edit which can break the game (invincibility, etc) and a lot more stuff...
I think that might break the game, what if I just go through it by throwing weapons?
I expect the hookshot to latch onto every climbable surface. Would be so good! I hope it's extra long, maybe again with a dual wielding iteration.
Say, what happens after a game-over?
Any sighting of a special sheathing animation?
The sheer wonder encapsulated in these gifs is incredible. Unlike anything I've seen in a game in a very long time. Some people have commented on how Nintendo captures that child-like glee we all had for games way back when, but I think this goes beyond that.
They're innovating. It's open world sure, you can take a glance and see that it's Zelda, and physics engines of this nature have been around since the likes of HL2 way back in 2004. BUT, BotW seems to be doing things with all of the above that we've often imagined, but never seen realised.
Trust Nintendo to pull this off on the least powerful console available.

It does, but it also uses a large portion of it's durability. It will likely break, which causes even more damage. So it's really effective, but you lose your weapon.
That's insanely high! I have a good feeling about this game. It certainly has caught the attention of the wider gaming crowd pretty well.
WOW, it was at 3 mil yesterday.
