I will enjoy using the fire rod! Burning those suckers will feel pretty good.

If you took the NES Zelda, removed all the sequels, and just tried to modernize it.... it would be more like Skyrim than it would be like Skyward Sword.

In anycase, from my time with the game at E3, it's a lot of fun to play.

I worry that other weapons will continously break too quickly, making an unbreakable sword be so much more convenient. I see the different weapons as a huge draw for me, and I really wanna make use of them. But if they all break and I have to replace them, then they wont be special and I'll probably lose interest in them :c I want to make camp, cook and eat food and repair/sharpen my blades before I sleep in a tent. Give it to me!

To me, this feels more Zelda than any Zelda has felt in a long time.

It feels like it finally understands what the appeal was of the big 3D world of Ocarina of Time back then.

I´m digging the different weapons you can use.Swords, greatswords, axes, greataxes, spears...it´s got a Dark Souls vibe in that aspect.

This just might be the Zelda I´ll enjoy the most since OoT.

Fire rod!

I'm loving this game so far. NX oh sweet NX, please come early.

Nintendo have been releasing small clips for quite some time now

For me, what makes it so much more appealing than a typical sandbox game is the amount of interactivity and nuance that's gone into the world.

Grass can be set on fire, which creates updrafts you can ride with your sail cloth and is influenced by the wind. Trees can be felled for firewood, and if cut down into a river will float downstream on the current. Temperature varies not just by area, clothing, and time of day, but with altitude and proximity to fire; the peak of a mountain is colder than halfway up, and you can start a fire and stand/rest by it to keep warm, except if it rains, the fire will be put out. The skeleton enemies will pick up their comrade's severed arms to use as weapons. Bokoblins can leave their weapons lying unattended while lounging around camp, and you can sneak up and steal them before engaging.

I could go on and on, but I honestly can't think of many other games that have this level of thought put into the game world and how you can interact with it.

I'll probably use a one-handed sword in conjuction with a shield, but a Katana would take priority over that.
