We need a compiled gif thread
To use another example: I thought the Lanayru Mining Facility in Skyward Sword was too out there, with the conveyor belts and the floating robots and everything, but I loved the Sandship even though it incorporates some of the advanced tech used by the ancient robots.

I think it's mostly due to the way they approached the structure.
It doesn't look like the puzzles can be solved in those later shrines without first exploring the plateau and gaining the Shieka Slate abilities from the more tutorial-y levels.
Once they know what items you've got they can basically go nuts with the solutions to puzzles and attempt to lock you out of the shrine because they expect you to have the tools necessary to tackle it's challenges.
It's honestly a much, MUCH better approach to free-roaming Zelda design than what we got from ALBW. So even if you don't like open worlds, like me, you can at least have fun with the traditional core engagement of modern LoZ games.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Kit said link has been asleep for 100 years, it's possible let he was just exaggerating for humor but I don't remember them ever saying why link was asleep

No, but a new Mario Party for 3DS was announced + new Amiibo.
They've said it before in the stream.
Oh that. It's been known through outlets like Kotaku. It's official information from Nintendo, pretty sure.
I can totally understand this. From a gameplay perspective Lanayru is great, but the payoff doesn't really come until the Sandship.

Were four dungeons confirmed? Pretty sure Nintendo's been playing their cards very close to their chest on anything that might expose the main quest beyond a very poorly disguised King of Hyrule sweeping in like Kaepora Gaebora from time to time.
They did open the treehouse by talking about how big the world is and how the demo only represents 1% of the explorable area. For such an expansive world to only be home to four dungeons is going to evoke memories of the poor spacing of content that garnered Wind Waker a fair amount of scorn. Many dozens of much smaller shrines isn't going to save the game from those parallels being drawn.
What a show. I checked in every 30 minutes or so and watched the stream, caught up with news, but in all it was amazing. This game looks incredible and most of all really fun. It was already my most anticipated game but now it's that plus a mile.
When Nintendo said that they'd only bring Zelda to E3 I was pissed, but now funny thing is I feel more satisfied than I did from last year's e3. Great job by the treehouse peeps too, they were great.

It's almost certainly going to be a NX launch title, so they're going to avoid dating or even giving a timeframe for the release outside of a generic 2017.

I'm guessing Kit doesn't have the ability to spoil anything. His clearance level isn't high enough.
Tech's been inserting itself into the series ever since Wind Waker, if not prior. I like how coherent the aesthetic actually is throughout the main entries.
They've been playing hero mode this entire time! /s
I'd actually like to see a counter to her name on how many times her rumours have been wrong. Honestly everything is going to be such a surprise come NX reveal, so excited.
I've stopped watching now as I"m too hyped and want to enjoy the game as unspoilered as I can be. Fuck this game is going to devour so much of my time.
It was someone elses rumor and she said she heard similar things. Nobody is taking her as gospel; rumors are rumors. No need to burn her at the stake.
She was 2/3 for her Zelda rumors. That's pretty solid for rumors.
I don't mind tech. I like it more if it's ALSO on a fantastic setting such as a ghost ship led by an undead pirate captain.

this is good shit.
I think the 4 dungeons rumour is not from Emily. This is what she said:

and she got 2 from 3.

lmao
Even if there are "only" four dungeons, I don't get all the complains. They are trying to break with the Oot-formula, something people wanted, but when they actually change something, people are complaining. You have 100+ mini-dungeons for the puzzle solving and a lot of mini-bosses roaming around, for me it seems to lessen the importance of dungeons, or the other way around, if you already have all that stuff, the dungeons have to be epic as shit to top all the other stuff.

Is that Bevers?
The wii u and Nx one was not really difficult... But she is (maybe) right about the VA. We just heard the female voice, not the old man or the monks so.... Maybe
Amazing
Haha this is great.
Well there were 4 shrines in the E3 demo, so maybe this info got misunderstood and evolved into the 4 dungeons rumour? Perhaps? Even so, 4 dungeons could be fine if they are big, unique and epic, and there are side quests to do on the open world, apart from orbs and koroks.
Also, on an unrelated note, when they said that Link had changed hairstyle, it really seemed like it was a complete gender swap, so I wouldn't count the gender choice out completely. We have been hearing conflicting things from E3 maybe because people are only talking about the demo they are showing, and not the full game (like the towns thing).

less than 2%
I don't care about her rumors specialy when I just saw 5 hours of gameplay it worth any rumored tweets.
They only have to look at Shadow of the Colossus.
I mean, the dungeons in TP are the absolute best parts of the game. It's only because the rest is dogshit, but that shouldn't lessen the impact of a well-designed dungeon. I'm not saying more is better, but I would like dungeons to have an epic atmosphere and theme, yes.

It's like the cycle of action adventure gameplay.
Zelda from 2D to 3D has influenced so many games (with it's open world[nes] target system camera [n64].
Now those gameplay evolutions go back to the source.

Yeah, hard to count anything other than NX version in her favor, and it was effectively common speculation at that point (I think it would have only been surprising if there wasn't an NX version).
We can give her an INC on the "voice acting for most of the characters" thing, but it's definitely not a point for her. AFAIK we've heard one VA despite seeing four or five NPCs. Maybe it's different. Maybe it's just the demo. But grading that one as INC is as generous as one can get, I think.
And of course female protag is wrong.
It is a bit of a stretch to say there is voice acting in this game. You don't get credibility points for saying there was going to be an NX version. That was obvious to anyone when they originally delayed it in early 2015.

This is true but you do realize as big as the Plateau seems its size and content pales in comparison to the rest of the game. What was shown in the E3 demo isn't even the final version of the Plateau.
what if the dungeons are interconnected just like the overworld
So awesome. Absolutely loved horseback combat in TP and I hope they expand it as much as possible in this game.
Wish they'd lose that slo mo mechanic though.
