That's some dedication right there! Most of that stuff didn't even occur to me while watching the new gameplay vid.

Indeed; so many little secrets! Can't wait to see more

Go Zelda U!

I can't believe I watched the whole thing. And it was entertaining!

Anyone wanna theorize on Zelda U?

I'm really thinking too much about this, but why the hell does Link still have a blue tunic in the footage? I highly doubt the game starts with 5 Heart containers, which means he's been through at least 1 dungeon (where he probably got the bow and arrow), and he has a FULL magic meter, meaning it's not early in the game (maybe at the 3 or 4 hours mark). So is he gonna wear that blue tunic for all of the game? Or do you guys think he gets the green tunic after the first half of the game? (In modern Zelda games, that means when the Triforce takes part of the story).

Of course, this could be an alpha/whatever build where he always has 5 hearts-full magic meter... But it is kinda annoying me.

The blue outfit looks like the be the one Link will use the entire game. I don't see him getting other ones, let alone a green one into a green sea of trees and grass.

I also believe the game will start with only 3 hearts but wouldn't surprise us if starts with 5 hearts. As much as I love the enormus overworld, exploring all for pieces of heart must reach a point where it will feel like hell.

Since the world is so big, they will have to make more dungeons than what they normally make (between 6 and 4 right?). That might fix that problem.

Hope we get a lot of dungeons, so far this are the dungeons of the games I remember right now:

The Legend of Zelda - 9 dungeons

Level 1-9

Parapa Palace, Swam Palace, Island Palace, ?? Palace, Water Palace, ?? Palace, The Great Palace

I'm expecting at least 12 "dungeons" to be honest.

Wow.  Just wow.  Been a while since I was this excited for a game.  

Basically, what I'm getting from this little 5 minute demo is this: Zelda + Skyrim Sized map = Everything I Ever wanted in an adventure game.  No other Zelda before it has truly been open world like this, and there are so many little things. Plus, with Nintendo, you can rest easy knowing that you can pre-order it.  After all, we all know that this game will actually work and be full-featured upon release with few to no bugs!  

All hail Nintendo?
