Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Launch trailer, JP boxart, March 3, 2017

Someone confirmed that today it's the right one. Idk about runes, probably left one for that? I think it was one of the switch hands on threads.

We pretty much see something like a rope arrow tied to link right in the trailer. It'll probably be in the game and used to anchor to animals or other places. It makes perfect sense considering jumping off a cliff slows down time to aim.
.

With the sand walrus thing? Yeah it was my first thought but no reason it has to be. But it could just work like a special grapple arrow and use any bow, that might be best.
 
Soon.

This is going to be the longest 4 and a half week wait.

Japanese Zelda cover is the best of all time. I can't believe it's that good, looks more like a Ghibli movie cover than a videogame one. And dat japanese logo.

I really like how they revived the old Famicom logo for this game.

It wouldn't have looked half-bad if they had done the same internationally with the old NES Zelda logo.

I have never wanted a nendo more than I want this... and I already own TWO link nendos lol... love the botw designs so much!

I have three TWW Links, two TWW Zeldas, and two MM Links. Not sure if I want two or three of the BotW one, depends on the price and the pre-order bonus (if any).

They really should have gone with that or offered it as an alternative.
 
so saw a video from hmk about spoilers he saw, without going into them, is it just the dungeon amount ect from the strategy guide or something more substantial

Anyone else disappointed with the game's UI? Especially having seen the latest Horizon footage? It's just so bland and uninspired, similar to how they use the main ZELDA font as titles in this game, which looks wrong IMO.

When the game was properly unveiled at E3 I figured the UI was just a placeholder and it would be polished and prettied up for release, but it seems not :|

The main menu looks like it took about 10 minutes to design, with official artwork on one side and very simple text options on the right.

I dunno, it's just a little disappointing from a presentation POV.

By all accounts it's extremely functional. That was probably their focus.

As someone who thinks Horizon's base UI looks not great (you could cut out like half the UI and not lose anything). I heartily disagree. There's also a couple neat details in the Zelda's UI like the Flower in a certain section. It's clean and subtle.

Zelda achieves the number 1 goal for a UI and that's speed and readability.

Its simplistic and clean, more then okay with me.

Nah, we won't get anything else until the reviews.

Considering the investment in this game I wonder if we will see a special mini Direct for it or maybe a big budget superbowl commercial ? This is basically the biggest Nintendo game of all time in terms of budget and anticipation even ignoring it's the main launch title of their do or die console.
 
While Horizon's UI seems to be perfectly functional they decided to go the route of "hey we're making a videogame so let's put textures and details on everything" which is something I'm glad Zelda has steered clear from (although the weird tentacles on the Slate I could do without).

I think the UI is phenomenal, much cleaner than skyward sword's, the HUD is great too. You press start and it instantly comes up, have shortcuts to hold items.
 
Yea, you're right. But if you do it in a thread that's specifically for Zelda, don't be surprised when people use that opportunity to shit on HZD back lol

I hate console wars bullshit, both games look phenomenal, no need to do that. I think that this thread has behaved quite well to be honest.
 
So regarding HMK's new video where he says he's seen major spoilers for The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild; things that he was sad about knowing before seeing them first-hand - I would like to know both where he got the information from, as well as where/to whom he confirmed that the information was accurate?!?

I don't recall any spoilers coming out in the same manner as Horizon, if I heard any spoiler leaks it would've been on the subreddit by now.

Well HMK claims to have seen major spoilers - what that entails I don't know, but he says that he wished he could have seen them first-hand.

Maybe he's just trolling?
 
Fuck YES got that Nendoroid BotW Link DX version locked up, shocked it was only $40. I have a Nendie Deadpool on preorder that's like $35 so I expected the Link DX verion with a whole friggin HORSE to be like $60 minimum.

Also glad they don't charge till it ships in June. Woooo

Same here. I have the Wind Waker Nendoroid and the Link Between Worlds figma as well, so BotW Link will find himself in good company when he arrives :D

Well technically it is about $50, but that amiami discount always helps.

Well, there was someone on GAF who said that they (or a friend) were at one of the Switch demos and accidentally saw a quest log description of what was (presumably) a late-game mission that got some people here pretty hyped.

And people from Gamexplain implied they saw something similar.

So that's probably what it is.

Yeah, they said you'd probably die, but that might just mean escape is your other option rather than defeating him.

We've not seen everything but the way the quest is presented seems to encourage you to try going straight to the castle anyway, but there could be something we're missing like a conversation when you're given the paraglider,
don't think they showed that?
You can defeat him. I recall Aonuma saying that you can beat the game in 15 minutes but I don't remember the exact video.
Maybe not "kill" him but definitely beat him enough to beat the game.

Cool Facts: Game of War has been a hit since July 2013
I'm not a huge fan of the look of the menus (especially the awful main menu, although the one we've seen might be temporary), but at the very least they are quick and functional. Maybe the final version of the game will have tiny differences that they removed from the demo to avoid spoilers.

Speaking of spoilers, can we get a new thread to hold all the spoiler discussion when the game starts leaking? I don't want to be navigating through black bars in threads like this.
