Get Inside Her!
Yup. Easy way to tell with any HUD-having screenshot is with the d-pad in the top left. Traditional plus vs split buttons.

The wiiu pics are all months old, just so you guys know. They are all from E3~october. So that's why there are HUD differences.

The difference between the first two screen shots is huge. The field in the distance has much more detail and the river being lit by the setting sun is nice.
I made a thread for the new screenshots and comparison. More people should see these amazing shots.

Ok. So I think we can confirm alternate endings to the game.

Have they confirmed what type of sound this game has? Such as 5.1 surround?
What shots? He's not wearing it in any posted.
That's a winter vest. And it's turquoise, I believe.
This top is in a few of the shots but here it looks the most green. Definitely different from the usual one we're used to seeing in promo for the game but perhaps not THE tunic?

This is called the Quilted Shirt, I believe? Anyways Link gets in on the plateau. It grants him frost resistance.

It's the tunic used for cold environments, not the green tunic itself.

Gah the Switch screens look phenomenal.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
I'm not seeing Link's iconic green hat anywhere in these shots.

I didn't notice it before but they confirm Octorocks in this video, around 17:30. I couldn't get a good look at it but you can see the rocks being shot at Link and one of the Treehouse staff mentioning a nearby Octorock.
Not surprising that they're in, but I still haven't seen this mentioned.

Ordered one Wii U copy from Amazon Japan and one Switch copy from 7net... this is gonna get ugly very fast.

Copied someone else's pancake recipe
42 inch 1080p LED. Game will be 900p and deserves a big screen. You're not losing definition by using a 1080p TV instead of that monitor. It would just upscale.

Oh god different endings? Hahahaha what if they split the timeline again?
Anyone else spot the stadium/Colosseum-like structure immediately northwest of the Great Plateau? If you follow the Great Plateau's northern border, you're faced with a large mountain/cliff on the right of the road. On the north side of this cliff, lies a large stadium in partial ruins. This stadium lies on a kind of mini peninsula surrounded by water on three sides.
It is briefly visible in the 1/13 Treehouse footage, when Nate jumps off of the Great Plateau Tower.
I've marked Nate's flight path and circled this stadium in red.
We get a better shot of this in one of Polygon's videos. They're a little bit further up north at a Bokoblin outpost (this is marked with a light blue dot on the above map) during the day time. We catch a glimpse of the bridge that splits the body of water and provides access to the stadium's front entrance from Hyrule Field.
Seems of substantial size, but its a fair bit off from the castle and castle town. If EngineeringHyrule's measurement estimates are correct, this is just under 2KM away from the castle. Be interesting to imagine what purpose this may have served in a pre-calamity Hyrule. I cannot think of any similar structure in a previous game off the top of my head.
EDIT: On second thought, it is similar to Arbiter's Grounds but is clearly nowhere near the desert.

I thought of arbiter's ground too. Interested to see what happens there.

It's could be the remains of the Tower of the Gods from the Wind Waker.

without a doubt yes, and NPC schedules/shop closures/potential enemy spawns along with that. i really only see those cycles being suspended in shrines. too lazy to check gameplay examples, but does the clock keep ticking in shrines?
edit: just checked, the clock indicator disappears but time passes as usual... interesting (Nate's recent treehouse video, enters shrine at 11:40, exits and it's 1:25)
With day/night and weather cycles being so important, and knowing that we are able to teleport around, I cannot imagine that there is no instrument in this game. And I think we would've seen that instrument if it weren't a spoiler. I'm convinced the return of the Ocarina is neigh.
If this is indeed the case then this has me specially excited. It was one of the things I loved most about Majora's Mask and then I think they dropped Day/Night cycles in towns for the rest of the Zelda series (correct me if I am wrong).
I took your first set here and put them into a single image for easier comparison (scaled the WiiU one so they'd be the same size):

Twilight Princess i remember having full cycle, at least in hyrule castle. Skyward didn't have a day/night cycle and wind waker stopped time when you landed in an island.
It would be pretty neat if the entire game has a day and night cycle no matter where you go.

spoilers regarding the game that i just read in an interview with ign portugal:
You can find epona in the game, but aonuma said that he wouldn't say how or the reason for her being in it.
As far as I'm concerned that confirms the
Hero of Time
I've missed you buddy.
What are the theories?
This is the Hero of Time from the downfall timeline, and the instrument of the game is the Ocarina of Time. It will tie in directly with how Link's defeat created a third timeline branch off of OOT.
It's worth remembering that Ganon only exists in the downfall timeline; in every other timeline he is still Ganondorf. In the child timeline he was executed before he ever became Ganon, and in the adult timeline he was sealed away as Ganondorf and presently lies at the bottom of the ocean with the Master Sword lodged in his forehead.

i am almost 100% sure that this will be the case, the game is much more dynamic and seamless than past zelda titles. I just wonder what will happen if it's raining and lightning strikes the towns.

I mean thats the entire crux of this game's world and all the interconnected systems of flora and fauna and weather. You're never really loading in to and out of areas (cept for the shrines, but even then time is passing as normal). The only way we've seen so far to jump around in time is by resting at bonfires.
Nice find. I'm so glad that this Hyrule seems to be populated with little touches of ancient architecture and really cool geological features like the giant hollow husk of a huge tree in one of the new screenshots. Exploring is going to be amazing.Anyone else spot the stadium/Colosseum-like structure immediately northwest of the Great Plateau?

I know I personally won't find the world too empty as I loved exploring every nook and cranny of the world in SOTC and that is probably literally the most empty "open world" of all time. But man was that forbidden land absolutely fascinating to explore.
Man the thread comparing the final versions of both systems is going to be crazy. That being said, I'm thinking about keeping my Switch preorder so far. Combined there seem to be a lot of small improvements that make a difference combined (loading, resolution, detail). Also glad to hear it's got the new rumble. I keep going back and forth, but I would probably keep thinking I'm playing the inferior version if I went with WiiU. Probably not going to buy a pro controller yet though. Reports say that the gripped joycons feel very similar.
Maybe something to do with the spirit orbs. At E3 they said that they have a different purpose, like maybe unlocking Link's memories ?
That's my hope. If the gripped joycons are close enough I can just buy another set and have 4 player, won't need to worry about having a pro controller at all.
