A close-up of what I presume is the cursed Hyrule Castle.

I agree in everything with Captain Yuri except for the cheesy voice, it sounded pretty decent for me, not a pro but definitely not a cons. And also i dont know what is a BGM xD

BGM = Background Music

In the Shrine demo, the player found 2 “Traveler Swords” if I remember correctly, one from a chest and the other was a drop (I might be mistaken and it could have been only 1, but the point will still stand); then in the Exploration demo, after clearing a camp full enemies, a chest shows up and the thing inside was a “Traveler Sword”.

I understand why they do that of course, is unreasonable to think all players will explore every single corner on a game of this size, so they want players to find various gear without having to explore every small area; this can be dangerous though, because if you find the same gear multiple times then what’s the point of exploring? If it happens too often, players will not bother to go and explore because “it’s probably another gear I already have”. Rare materials and the likes will be a much better choice for these type of treasures, they did that in the Snow area, at the very top of a mountain, which the regard was what it looks like a weapon craft material, more rewarding than a repeated gear.

Maybe I’m just being paranoid, that example was the only instance I saw it, and it could also be a demo thing and not in the final game, but is something I’m worried about and could break the exploration.

Weapon and shield durability is a thing so I would be happy to find two of the same swords.

Edit: provided I like that weapon of course.

Oh you are absolutely right. I completely forgot about weapon durability which will make this have more sense.

I also assume since Zelda games don't have levels, weapons will not become obsolete, so finding this sword could be helpful at basically any point in the game.

What I liked

Refreshingly non-traditional

 Huge world with plenty to do

Resource gathering/management

 Dynamic environment (E.g. chop trees, set brush on fire)

Beautiful visuals

Shield surfing

The bullet-time (arrow-time?) vault from horseback move

 

What I didn't

I'm too paranoid to get hyped for it because I can't shake the fear it won't make it to Wii U

 

Random thoughts

Remember how Aonuma said in an interview a while back that he'd been playing/enjoying Far Cry 4? Anyone else think it really shows in Breath of the Wild?

Yep, I definitely think it shows.

Spoiler alert

Ganon cutscene taking Hyrule Castle is hinted at the trailer but it is showed in the E3 floor demo. Didn't watch it, I spoiled too much of the game.

Weird! "Spoilers" below:

From what I've seen, I thought Link slept for a long time and woke up in a distant future where the kingdom is already in ruins and evil/wilderness reign. I mean, there is not even a big civilization... I know we haven't seen much, so that opens a theory: what if we can travel back and forth in time from a cetain point in the game and we'll only experience the towns/villages in the past? And now in the future they are in ruins, like what we've seen. Maybe that's why they didn't want to show them... to don't spoil the plot. Makes perfect sense to me, what says you?

That would also explain Ganon taking over the Hyrule Castle... cause it was set in the past. :o



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

About this...

 

Spoiler alert

 

The castle seems to be surrounded by 4 pillars, which will fit with the 4 main dungeons rumor. In the end, the ~100 mini-dungeon (shrines) part was right.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever
