Yeah, they keep saying it's "less than 2 percent." Hopefully they aren't lying.

This E3 objectively isn't that great from Nintendo so far -- unless a whole bunch of mystery games are announced tomorrow this year is looking bleak. Previously years with Smash update hype and new games definitely brought it.
But I can't get my eyes off of this Treehouse stream. I haven't been so optimistic about a game in a while.

I missed it! Someone gif it or clip it or something!
Yep, that updraft is limited to that fire area only. Holy crap this game.

Probably when they reveal the NX.
He looks kind of like the Kreygasm guy, he's a top 6 Melee player of all time. (it's a Twitch meme)
That is soooo sick omg
They aren't showing a lot of 'content' but in the same fashion as No Man's Sky every minute of gameplay chips away at the mystery.
I think I'm done.
I SAW THAT! This game is fucking amazing!
I feel like they're showing too little.
OMG! Thank you very much! This is amazing!

I'm really enjoying what I'm seeing but I am a little worried about how vastly the world looks but feels very lifeless. So far with all that we've seen its been just big vast areas with nothing really in them besides small encampments of enemies and random treasures to find (and small shrines). They have stated several times today that towns and people are in the game but I'm worried that they will be secluded to those towns and you won't see many people out in the actual world, this works in older Zelda titles because the world itself isn't very big (not anywhere near as big as this is anyway) but when you have such a huge and open world it needs to have things that populate it. I guess I'm just hoping that you will see more in this world but they purposefully removed it from this E3 build in order to not spoil things but that may just be wishful thinking on my part.

Yeah they've really only shown us the My First Zelda section of the game. We really haven't seen anything at all.
Yeah..there's a section in the trailer where Link chops down a tree and the branches fall off in these ugly geometric shapes, like something out of a N64 or PS1 game. There's definitely polish that needs to be applied in some areas, like the snow.

I think they've showed so much, but yet so little. I love it. I was bummed that absolutely everything in MK8 was shown before the game was out. Wonderful game. Absolutely no discovery of anything.
Same. I have a Wii U so I'm playing Breath of the Wild on it when it releases. Day 1.

This is Nintendo's take and design on Open World. This is literally described as Nintendo Magic. People can hate or talk shit on it if they want to but its the truth.

treehouse stream is probably not the best idea I would much rather have a focused nintendo direct that showed specific things from Zelda.
seeing same star area 4 times picking up the item after item was so depressing.

This is so ridiculously more ambitious than any Zelda game - nay, any GAME, period - Nintendo has ever attempted. Can't fucking wait (for the NX version).

Im sure a Zelda focused Direct will still come.

I dunno. Shadow of the Colossus didn't have anything in its giant world and that game was awesome.

I would've liked a little more of the set up of the story other than just waking up to this world.

This contradict the 4 dungeon theory imo.
Along With Xenoblade Chroncles X, I love this new expansive map approach Nintendo has adopted.

That updraft being limited to right above the fire is pretty cool. It's details like this that makes Nintendo what they are.
They aren't going to have version specific in-game differences ( like the Wii U only has X dungeon while NX has X, Y, and Z dungeon ) but I wouldn't be surprised if their was a frame rate, resolution, or even a draw distance difference between the two.
I doubt we will get anything official until the NX is fully announced though.

Why is that?
Bless Aonuma, I couldn't resist watching the trailer and a bit of the stream, and the less spoilers available the better.
Funny you say that because Aonuma kinda replied personaly to this: "I don't won't to spoil your fun so no infos about story and towns will be seen at this E3".
I swear to god I though : "did he just replied to GAF ?"
Wait, what? Having cool new traversal and environmental interactions has nothing to do with whether the game feels "next-gen" or not. It's just cool stuff unique to this game. And, unfortunately, the graphics are always there to bring you back down to earth, too.
Weak CPU, amirite?
The wizardry in this game engine is astounding given the system it's running on.

There is probably an open sequence that isn't in the demo. It seems Nintendo isn't talking story right now.
Zelda is not Shadow of the Colossus. Besides, the giant world was the worst part about that game.

METAL AS ALL FUCKS.
There are fucks left for other games. Zelda just took them all.
YUP!
Someone needs to make a gif of that entire part, including the Bokoblin on the horse getting blown the fuck up.
I hope so. By the same token it could suggest that a focused run on the main dungeons could make for a relatively short game.
Simply isn't enough info with which to draw a conclusion.
Why?
The dungeons could just be spread out, and the first one an introduction to large dungeons being out there.
I'm thinking they'll coincide with story beats and probably be enlarged in a similar way to how the Zelda world has been enlarged. I'm expecting expansive, engrossing, major dungeons/temples. And 4 at the scale I'm thinking would be enough.
