Forums - Nintendo - Zelda: Breath of the Wild discussion thread

Guys, this game will be so good, I said before and I will say again, this will be one of best Zelda games ever. :)

Whats is most impressive for me is that you climb or go to any part of this gigantic world you see in game. :)

Before Aonuma keeps stealing my ideas, guess I need to call now: players will have to fight Ganon at Hyrule Field. Not in a room, not in a dungeon. The entire Hyrule Field is the arena to defeat it.

What I liked:
Openness
Lack of Tutorial
Small touches like Wind blowing Link's hair and clothes
Lighting
Slow Motion
This fapness:
-snip-
Art style
Physics
Not much handholding
Gotta find stuff out for yourself (like the story)
Tons of weapons and shields
Shield Surfing
Lots of other stuff

What I didn't like:
Cheesy Voice Acting (As I feared)
Stamina Meter: Specially in an open world game where you would want to hall ass as fast as possible most of the time imo...
Minimal BGM: Playing games like XC and etc where there are tons of places to explore shows how BGM can enhance the experience. Zelda really should have had a nice amount of BGM with an option to turn it off if it starts to get too repetitive... Not remove them completely... Or in Zelda's case, have minimal amount of them...

Basically all this.

We also have to take into account that a lot of what we've been shown is likely designed just for the E3 demo, so things like villages, NPCs and more will very likely be present in the final game in the areas we've been shown imo. They'll probably be more items and things to do as a result as well!

Have to say that both Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild had a similar announcement. IN both trailers, the first thing to show was Link abilities, like rolling bombs or climbing.

Of coursem BotW was way more exciting...

Both had a demo with a tutorial area (Faron Woods - Great Plateau) without any NPC's, Towns or dungeon.

Breath of the Wild looks like it might just be the most forward thinking game that Nintendo have made since... shit, possibly since Mario Galaxy.

Don't get me wrong, they've made many great games since then, but they've almost all been rather traditional, relying on a tried and true formula. This on the other hand feels almost like how Mario 64 felt in 1996, a bold and unbridled reinvention. It's so refreshing to see them take such a big risk with such an old and revered series.

Don't forget Splatoon though, that was highly original and right for the times, In fact I could argue that it is actually more purely innovative than this Zelda, however this does looks like the best thing they have done since Mario Galaxy or even OoT, as a reinvention it is as epic as you could expect from Nintendo.

My bad, I did overlook Splatoon, but while that game was certainly fresh and original, (not to mention excellent) I feel like BotW is even more impressive because of how ambitious it is and the daring liberties it takes with a franchise that's not only 30 years old but has such a large and passionate fan following. It takes guts to reinvent a series whose traditional form is held in almost religious regard.

And you have to do it damn well to get the incredible reaction they are getting while almost butchering every convention of the series.
This is the kind of risk that people may overlook because is called Zelda ergo is just "another Zelda", big mistake, this is way more than that.

That's the key difference between the change-ups in Zelda and Paper Mario, the game is actually good still, the only thing thing that really matters.

Exactly, it is extremely rare that such a radical overhaul of a beloved franchise is met with such a positive reception, which speaks to just how brilliant a job they seem to have done with BotW.
