[Wyrdness]

What we gathered after today:

- Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the official title.
- Survival elements have been implemented.
- Towns and NPCs are present but were removed from the E3 version to avoid spoilers.
- Link only need to eat if he has taken damage so it's not a don't starve situation.
- Focus this time is the actual game world and your interaction with it and not a particular ability, NPC or item.
- Large boss in the teaser trailer is known as a Guardian and the are numerous of them that will be in the game.
- Many of them seem inactive scattered on the land.
- In the Treehouse only two functional ones were seen and one was unable to move but could still fire its beam.
- No female Link that was all just non-sense.
- Link still has customizable elements though as the player can change his clothing and hair style.
- The Plateau area shown at E3 is only 2% of the game despite being bigger than areas in most games in general.
- The item Link carries is known as the Sheikah Tablet and is somewhat technically advance.
- Link can obtain Rune abilities that can manipulate the world around him with the Sheikah Tablet.
- One Rune is stasis that can stop certain objects in time temporarily.
- Start the game off with nothing but your undergarments it seems.
- The environment has an effect on things and you.
- An example was a fire spread due to wind and ended up burning down an enemy camp.
- Clothing and Armour affects how much damage you take.
- What you wear also determines if you're protected from extreme heat or cold.
- Several mechanics have been unearthed in the game engine.
- An example is fire causes rising air which if vaulted off the horse then using the sail cloth causes Link to rise.
- Can use shields as snowboards but this degrades the shield faster.
- A number of items and weapons break so the player has to be mindful and be well stocked.
- 100 mini-shrines, they reward Link with spirit orbs, the true nature of these orbs has been kept hidden.
- Horseback combat and archery are present.
- Combat and archery while snowboarding is also present.
- Link can tame and ride horses on the field, not clear whether Epona is in the game at the moment.
- Sail Cloth now seems to be a glider or may get upgraded to one.
- Master Sword is rusted and in the worst state it's ever been seen in.
- Hyrule is in Ruins.
- Timeline is unclear, the map resembles TP but Koroks from WW are present.
- Adding further to this Hylia as a Goddess is mentioned something that no game outside of SS does.
- Cooking feature now added.
- Food cooked can heal or give special boosts like added stamina similar to Monster Hunster games.
