I mean if there's 4 dungeons with a world this large, they must be pretty fucking large/difficult dungeons. Or take multiple times entering to complete or something. Doesn't make sense.
.

It that is the case just hope they have shortcuts like Demons games , once you complete one area you can return to key areas with elevators , caves , transportation devices , etc.

 

[Schnozberry]

Not the Master Sword. Turning that into a Collect 100 items quest would be a disaster.

Could be the Hero's green garb though, or that cool suit of armour, assuming that doesn't have a role in the plot.

It seems like there are powerful items found out in the game world. Certain items might end up being dungeon rewards, but I could see some of the Hylian Gear being obtained by turning in X number of Orbs.

 

[Kinsei]

That's one way to incorporate pinball into a game.

This puzzles in this shrine are so good.

 

[Firemind]

What are the rewards for completing these shrines again?

 

[jwhit28]

Lol it basically teleported from the energy.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Sorry guys

I just have a hard time watching 40 year old women act with the maturity of a 10 year old for extended periods of time.

I was hoping Aonuma-san would be in control.

[Altazor]

What do spirit orbs do? Are they a gate to real dungeons?

secondary currency (trade them for items to the Old Guy)

at least that's the only function that we know of so far

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Aren't they showing a little too much? The stream has gone on for hours.

Dude they only showed the Plateau thats it

 

[Ashodin]

These shrines are huge.

 

[Revven]

The design of the shrines reminds me a lot of the... smaller areas in the Desert area in Skyward Sword. Those had small puzzles you had to solve to reach the end of the room to turn a dial to unlock the next dungeon. And they had similar aesthetics (but obviously a lighter color).

Except obviously these are getting more and more complex.

 

[Jonbo298]

Aren't they showing a little too much? The stream has gone on for hours.

We've seen 1%, if that, of the game. Plus they've repeated areas multiple times with different focus each time.

 

[Weebos]

I assume this is a mini-dungeon? Just retuning in.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Haha Pinball Link

Hot damn this game is impressive.

 

[Fuchs]

And there are about 100 of those? This game is getting better and better.

 

[Aaronrules380]

I assume this is a mini-dungeon? Just retuning in.

yep, it's a shrine

 

[Calm Mind]

Aren't they showing a little too much? The stream has gone on for hours.

According to Aonuma they've barely shown 2% of the game so far.

 

[EndlessSky]

What are the rewards for completing these shrines again?

An orb that is likely used to be turned in for a rare item.

 

[jackal27]

I am still very excited for this game, but I'm getting super nervous about these western, open-world influences.

I don't find those games very tightly or intentionally designed and that is like the ONE thing I expect from my Zelda games.

 

[Milly Osworth]

Zelda evolved a lot from pressing switches and dragging statues.

 

[Niraj]

This shrine is pretty good. Imagine how complex some of the later ones will get.

 

[jman2050]

I want this game right this second.

 

[Ensirius]

I assume this is a mini-dungeon? Just retuning in.

Yup. They are called shrines. There are 100 shrines varying in sizes.

 

[WPS]

"So what Chico is going to do here is..."

Meanwhile, Chico is pulling out the explosives.

 

[Kinsei]

I'm sold on this game. Day 1 on NX.

Aren't they showing a little too much? The stream has gone on for hours.

They showed the opening area and now they're showing two shrines outside of said opening area. They've barely showed anything.

 

[Brinbe]

AND THERE ARE 100+ OF THESE? gawd

 

[Moff]

Could you do the entire field part? The entire Guardian battle, I mean.

I could, but the file size would be far too big, that's why I kept it small and short ;>

 

[Nanashrew]

Stasis locks are going to be so fun for me just to see how fast or how high i can make something go.

Also this dungeon is so great and it's only a mini-dungeon/shrine.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Zelda evolved a lot from pressing switches and dragging statues.

And bombing random walls

 

[Twilight Princess]

These shrines are 1/3 - 1/2 the size of a regular dungeon I think.

 

[OricWindstar]

I hope the visual design of the shrines varies enough to keep them from getting boring to look at.

 

[bachikarn]

I hope for the final game they change up the dialogue of these monks lol

 

[PKrockin]

These shrines are looking good actually.

Don't see why the majority of the content can't be optional. Nothing wrong with having 100 hours of stuff to do but only 20 required to reach the credits.

We just got done complaining about all the stuff in Skyward Sword that was mandatory that people would have preferred being optional, like tadtones, silent realms, and such.

 

[boclfon479]

I'm calling it now. Gyro controls for the NX.

does the wii u pro controller have a gyro sensor in it? they said the game was playable with that :/

either way I can see a regular controller with a gyro control sensor in it, similar to DS4

 

[Soroc]

What are the rewards for completing these shrines again?

Soul Orbs I think. Which are then traded in for items I think. I think one of the presenters said the first 4 shrines would be used to trade 4 soul orb/gem thing for the paraglider. Looks like you can possibly do these in any order you stumble upon them.

 

[jackal27]

AND THERE ARE 100+ OF THESE? gawd

People keep saying this, but this doesn't sound like a good thing to me???

 

[sinxtanx]

"mini"-dungeons

dis game

 

[EndlessSky]

With all these sheikah, I wonder if sheik will appear in this game.

 

[Busaiku]

NOOOOOO

 

[Firemind]

An orb that is likely used to be turned in for a rare item.

Ah ok

I'd like it more if these shrines were more integrated into the overworld but i guess mini Towers of the Gods are cool too.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

Anyone actually getting Mario 3d platformer vibes from some of these shrines?

 

[Alebrije]

AND THERE ARE 100+ OF THESE? gawd

Zelda: the adventures of Lolo

 

[forknknife]

Just started watching the stream and there were some enemies that they would just stay in place and even not shoot at link. Another one was just"trapped" around the corner of a wall even though link was clearly visible and shooting at it with his bow so... terrible AI. Hope that's something they're working on A LOT.

I'm sorry but i just don't have the patience to deal with games that still do stuff like that. I know they are different games but you see how far games have come with examples like horizont and it's just difficult for me to "go back" to games that seems like they have not learned all the lessons these past generations have taught us.

Game looks beautiful art wise and some things are cool but, yeah, very underwhelming so far for me.

 

[iMkh]

Damn I'm really trying to not get myself too excited, but I genuinely feels like this game can be as groundbreaking as OoT was at its time...

 

[MisterGrey3000]

I gotta say, my fears about the level design are slowly dissipating. This is no ALBW, AKA baby's first Zelda dungeon.
The puzzles look great; I think I'm warming up to these shrines and the game in general.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

I hope for the final game they change up the dialogue of these monks lol

You can just skip it by hitting X so I don't mind too much if they're all nearly the same.

 

[kuroneko0509]

the end... nnnoooo D:

 

[metsallica]

Beat that, Sony and MS! A 390-minute press conference.

lel

 

[co1onel]

People keep saying this, but this doesn't sound like a good thing to me???

Why not? The dungeons/these puzzles are why I play zelda.

 

[Pandy]

It seems like there are powerful items found out in the game world. Certain items might end up being dungeon rewards, but I could see some of the Hylian Gear being obtained by turning in X number of Orbs.

Nah, that'll be the reward for the actual dungeons...

... I could be wrong, but then what are we getting out of dungeons, just plot progression?

EDIT: The collect 100 reward reminds me of Skulltulas, or something, where you get cool bonuses, but nothing central to completing the game. Only the Shrines that give you abilities will be mandatory, and even then it seems you might be able to struggle through large portions of the game without them by employing different tactics.

Zelda: the adventures of Lolo

Man Lolo was sooooo good. I really wish we could get more.
