This E3 actually dropped my hype for this, I can honestly say I'm not very impressed by it at all and I love Zelda games, wouldn't necessarily say I'm a huge fan like I was back in the SNES and N64 days, but seeing the initial gameplay showing before this years one and at the launch of the Wii U this was something that I would have bought a Wii U for.
Maybe I'll get it if I'm enticed to buy an NX, I probably have bought it had I already owned a Wii U, but the Wii U will be the only Nintendo home console I won't have owned.
I'll probably get a bunch of Wii U games if NX is backwards compatible or has Xbox One style emulation (certainly possible for anyone to do now that MS have shown it's possible within similar constraints of differing CPU architecture to last gen tech), so I wouldn't say I'd never buy it, but I don't see it as a system seller like I did last year.
Just doesn't look very entertaining too me and games like Witcher 3 have done open world gameplay in a much more accomplished way and since Horizon Zero Dawn has CD Projekt Red quest design guys working on it and so many other talented open world game developers I'm way more hyped for that, beyond belief tbh.
Zelda BOTW just looks too simplistic by comparison to the depth of gameplay on offer in Horizon.
In case certain people who have been very defensive over Zelda reply to me, trying to make out like I'm focusing on graphics, I'm not, my points are about gameplay, Horizon having a pretty outer coating has only a marginal amount to do with why I'm way more interested in it than Zelda.
I have to make this statement and I have to compare games like Zelda to things like Horizon, because they're fairly similar fundamentally, which inevitably gets me looking for similarities in up coming titles.
Horizon just seems to have a more believable and logical structure to it's gameplay and overall design, which I think is paramount in these kinds of experiences and I love that Guerrilla are doing development of this kind of game, the way it's being done.
The setting isn't generic, approach seems very fresh, while Zelda seems more dated by comparison, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's not hooking me in and I think it's perfectly fair to say that.
There's no need for people to get touchy when they don't have the same opinions on a thing, it's way more mature and balanced to just say that we have different opinions on these things and you like what you like and I like what I like.
I'm glad others are hyped for Zelda, the game they love the look and gameplay details of.
I think a lot of the defensiveness over this hobby comes from people have deeper insecurities elsewhere, so just love what you love and own that you're hyped for a game, but be fine that others don't really have to agree and certainly don't feel the need to hate on people that aren't thinking the same way as you.
If we all thought the same this world would be a pretty boring place IMO.
