This is the only Zelda title that I have ever found likeable besides WW.The world looks vast and interesting, plus the gameplay mechanics, which seem to really enhance the experience.
The game reminds me of Skyrim but with cell-shading, and that alone would make me buy the game.That said though I will definitely not play it on Wii U.

It made me think of Skyrim, too, though it's not a completely positive association.  Thinking of Skyrim actually made me temper my initial reaction.  

Speaking from a personal standpoint, physical combat with random world monsters in Skyrim became kind of tedious.  Magic, for me, ended up being way more interesting.  Watching combat in this video, I couldn't help but imagine that it would get old quickly unless there is a lot more progressive variety.  Hopefully that's the case.

The other thing with Skyrim is that a big, open world can get kind of boring unless there are new things around the corner all the time.  We saw a lot of emptyness in this video.  I won't judge at this point, it's likely just to show off the landscape, but it will stick in the back of my mind until it's disproven.

Yeah associating games with Skyrim isn't exactly positive for many people, but for me that is the highest regard a game may receive.Granted Vanilla Skyrim isn't exactly the best game ever, but when you play it with 200+ mods all of them chosen to your liking it becomes a great gaming experience.

That's why for me any game resembling Skyrim is an automatic buy.
