Just that they're in and definitely different from the shrines

I'd be fine without towns. They always seem to slow me down and overwhelm me in games like this, depending on their size and what they offer. Just give me some interesting people, locations, and lore to deal with throughout the game and I'm good.
I've always found towns to have those things you mentioned, hence why I was initially worried about the lack of towns. But it seems like they're in, so we're good!
Man, this game looks good.
As I posted previously I would've been fine with no towns; for an open-world game like this that seems to be a little more mysterious in nature it would've been cool with a very isolated, lonely experience in a ruined Hyrule, with you slowly piecing together what happened to it through exploring.
But I love towns, so I'm fine with this too.
Yes, there will be. Aonuma has said as such.

"When you get off the plateu" Is this just the starting area or something?
Yep!
Don't spoil plz.....

Seems that way, we had a glimpse of the map at the start and it looked massive. They didn't even pan over the whole thing.
There will be dungeons. Aonuma said it should take about an hour or so to get to the first proper dungeon.
People who believed a report from an interview don't know what the game is. Really?
None of us know what the game is, were going off of interviews and demos.
And towns aren't necessary? Uh sure I guess not, but there one of the most fun staples of a Zelda game.
people with this holier than though attitude are IMO just as bad as the people who bash this game no matter what it shows.
maybe that's because it's not lived in
because it's nature
does this not look lived in enough, either?
That actually looks pretty boring.
Yah. They will most likely serve to progress the main story and they reportedly only have like 4-5 in the entire game so they wont want to show them. There are however 100+ shrines that start off easy but get more complicated and difficult as you venture.
Yep, and wherever you get off will have a drastic effect on how you start the game proper. They've made it clear that, whilst the world is open, there are places you can't go from other places.

Yeah, not really sure how that works hehe. Do the people of Hyrule know that Ganondorf also is Ganon? Thats the only thing i can think of, that they dont know, and they think Ganondorf and Ganon are two different persons.
Hehe, that is a Seinfeld reference isnt it?

I'm still on the fence about this game. On one hand I love the vast explorable world, on the other hand I don't really like the overly stylized world. Also, I can't really put my fingers on it, but it looks like a white film is put over the screen. It could be only my stream though, as the screenshots look all right.
And please stop saying it looks like Ghibli, aside from Title, it doesn't.

I wonder if Hyrule castle is going to be a town or a ruin.
Fuck them if they put these guys in it though.

guys THERE WILL BE TOWNS. They said several times already throughout the stream.
I believe they also said the shrines can be completed in any order.
It truly is Weed3. We got Weed, Dads and Grappling hooks.

I say they aren't necessary because the game doesn't seem to need them. Weapons, items, food... all of these things are in the overworld and the constant battle for resources look so interesting and the way the demo isolates you in this massive world with just monsters is enthralling. When they stumbled into that mini boss man, it was outstanding. Its a survival game that doesn't need towns but they won't take away from the game either.

Ghibli aesthetic is more than color palette, it's a form of stylized realism which extends to relationships between characters to physical and natural interactions.

Link had a different hairstyle in one of those videos they're showing.

Same. Towns/NPCs are always the worst part of Zelda games.

pls go. :c
Some people were assuming that there were no towns before the rumor came out.
People were assuming that because they didn't see certain things in the 1st 30 minutes of an E3 demo that they weren't there

They are going to show two new shrines that are outside of the main plateau of the E3 Build

I agree with them. I'd enjoy not having towns.
Yeah, all of that was great. SOLD!
It is interesting that he is called "Calamity Ganon" in this game. Not sure what that is about.

I'm biased as fuck being British, but man, I absolutely agree. Most fantasy themed worlds deserve either British or European voice acting. I love a good Greek accent in games too.
What? Ganondorf is just Ganon in his human form.

He actually confirmed that in the stream a few moments ago while they were exploring outside the plateau area. They just don't want to spoil the story n' stuff.

Never liked the human form much personally.

Those bullshots are so pretty.
I really hope NX gets to flex it's muscles with Zelda BoftW, the assets are just too pretty to be hidden behind 720p and agressive LOD.
