Wyrdness said: 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. - In the trailer a giant skeleton enemy is seen. - Skeleton like enemies from OOT are back only now you can pick up and use their arms as weapons. - The Church like building in the trailer and art is the Temple of Time. - |
That's a great summery! I'll just add a few more:
-There are boss like enemies roaming the landscape, such as the giant skeleton mentioned above.
-Link can now throw his weapons at enemies from a distance to cause damage.
-Link can chop down trees and make items out of them, such as fire wood.
-Link can create camp fires everywhere he wants now, it seems. All you need is a bundle of wood and flint.
Spoilers about the story and the main villain:
-The story is that Link wakes up after sleeping for 100 years.
-Ganon is the main villain and has ravaged the lands and Link must stop him before he destroys the world.
-These two facts comes from IGN, I have not heard Nintendo talking about this, but it seems like IGN got their info from Nintendo.
