Goddamn, people really just want a final trailer out of the gate. I agree that we had way too little info until now, but with this gameplay trailer, i feel good about where this is going. We are like 45 days to go, they will drop more info and a final trailer that will prove the status of how much this game changes from Botw.
Idk if you remember the times before botw... but people were saying it looked empty, had no towns, had no NPC even... like chill. They didn't take so long to make only few changes like what has been shown now.
I like the creativity.
Looks great. Glad they aren't showing too much. Seems like they really want to keep that sense of discovery that the original did so well.
Presentation Looked Very meh... They need way more than this to make impact similar to BoTW. Give me better DGs, more mob/bosses variety, more combat options/styles/weapons... They need to do better in many areas, improvements and evolution are a must, and i didn't see enough here...
They literally gave you infinite weapon combinations with which combat can change a lot and there are plenty of new weapons.
"Stick+rock" looked like Just a damage buff, and Spears got exactly the same move set, with more reach.
I hope to see fusions that create weapons with true "identity and individuality", not Just reskins with Minor differences.

I honestly came away from this showcase very....whelmed. Not overwhelmed or underwhelmed, but somewhere in the middle. It definitely comes off as BotW 1.5 rather than a full sequel. The new game mechanics do look like a ton of fun though that will allow for a lot of new experimentation, but I was bummed at the return of breakable weapons and the lack of showing any dungeons.
But we still have yet to see so much of the game!
I would love for Nintendo to prove me wrong :) for what will have been 6 years of development, longest we've ever waited between for a new mainline Zelda game, an asset flip at that, I'm really hoping they haven't even scratched the surface of how much this game is going to offer.
Looks to me like they haven't expanded the world as much, but rather what you can do in the world itself.
That said, it wouldn't surprise me if there are more layers to the game beyond what was shown. But it does feel like they are keeping their cards close to their chest with the games showings so far
Honestly I wouldnt mind a direct continuation of the first game, but with the added boss fights that were missing.
That huge stone giant in the previous trailer already looks promising as a boss fight imo.
Nah, more like 1.1
Walking simulator? Are you an amateur or something.
it's a joke, but the game was a lot of slow walking from place to place, admit it
there was a lot of traversal and means to travel. Kind of like death stranding, but it was never dull . Always that sense of wonder around the corner or adventure.
sorry, the music and story of Twilight Princess is still the highlight of the Zelda series for me
still waiting for a better Zelda game ( I really dislike Skyward Sword outside of its story telling )
Haven't played it yet. I'm getting a switch next month, might pick it up if there is a switch version.
Link SSJ3? A due evolution.
So far nothing seen that warrant the 6 years development time. I bet there are big things hiding.
Looks like a cool game. But, Switch 2 can't come soon enough. This game looks 15 years old, graphically speaking.
I'll be buying it on launch day though, and I guess that's the reason that they don't bother with a Switch 2.
Here we go, gonna shower in disagrees, but...
The good:
1 - Fusing world objects can deliver some great fun moments, there's great potencial here.
2 - "Reverse time" objects also looks fun.
3 - Dive is interesting, i like saving time and going to the top.
The bad:
Imho, fuse weapons not looking good, here is why:
1 - I make my "Unga Bunga stick", great, but durability still a issue! I can already see "X swords" > go to the volcano to make " X Fire swords" and i need to slowly fuse every sword! Please make at least some of the fused weapons indestructible!
2 - i make "Unga Bunga stick" and... It plays prety much like a regular sword/stick... Come on Ninty, this is lazy job, make my "Unga Bunga stick" feels heavy and brutal, not like a fast sword!
3- fuse arrows... Why!? Now i need to use menus even more! Just give me Fire, Ice and seek arrows, don't force me to navigate menus and craft middle combat to make a single arrow!!! Hopefully you can still Just find/buy the desired Arrow and craft multiple arrows in one go.
Also, Game truly feels like BoTW1.5.
Looked dated in 2017 and looks even more dated in 2023, Switch limitations, but still disappointing...
seems like it will make every weapon feel like a cheap club...
I WANT SENUA'S SACRIFICE sword combat for example, amazing stuff there compared to Zelda
The game looked great when it released. This art style doesn't age. The graphics weren't the problem
Very disappointing that they are not showing it on a Switch 2. Just wait.
you're just ignoring my opinion, that's yours, fine
many friends had less fun than me because they played BOTW on the Wii U
despite owning a Wii U, I waited, for a good reason, even 720p-900p made the game much more fun imo
TOTK will be much more fun with the Switch 2 and I can wait for that, you only get your first experience once
