On a scale of 1 to Reggie, with 1 being not ready and Reggie being bodily ready, just how HYPE are you for the return of the king?

Justin Perry
didnt realise it was based around archery, slightly more hyped now, might keep tabs on it
careful though, it is all marketing, likely to not be anything theyre saying and be disappointing, even if its good

>neo nintendo About as hyped as I was for 3D World, Tropickle Cheese and Sticker Star
Oliver Kelly
Did you mean to start your own thread?
Mason Lee
what conventions did OoT change
Matthew Young
Nah dark souls already dethroned ocarina with better combat and weapon and armor variety

Why do people do this? How bored can you possibly even be?
There is no official statement saying the game is about archery. There's hardly been anything official at all, not even marketing. OP is just making shit up.
Kayden Morales
where did you get that screen capp OP?
Hunter Reyes
It won't be better than SotC. Or OoT. Or MM.
I'm ready for another 8.8.
Nicholas Barnes
Introduced openworld, real-time clock system (as in day fades to night and vice versa), lock-on in a 3D game, a dedicated context-sensitive button that alerts you to more options (other games like RE tried this but it was just variations of a "select" command), and a cohesive overworld with geolocational cues that let you know where you are and which way is what in the game world.
Plus multiple others if you get into what defines a vehicle in a video game with Epona; the first optional vehicle in a game that alters the way you progress through the game.
I think it might even be the first 3D game with a map.
Pretty much everything about modern games owes its beginning to Ocarina of Time. Just like Mario 64 is still the gold standard for controls.
Asher Jenkins
Google. If you're surprised by the bomb arrows, I didn't ever notice them either.
It assembled them and presented them all together to the world as a shining example of "how to do it".

If it looks like a dog, barks like a dog, and sounds like a dog; it's a dog.
James Reed
Oh yeah? Which one?
Go ahead, name me one mechanic and the game that introduced them before OoT.
I'll wait.
Lucas Richardson
Still waiting user.
Luke Barnes
Ultima V did cohesive world with night/day and lunar cycles with npc's having schedules, had ship's and flying carpets as alternate travel methods.
Kevin Bell
I'll add onto this. It also introduced the concept of locking on to enemies while doing things in a 3D space. This mechanic has stuck around in adventure games for years after.
Lucas Fisher
That game sounds pretty cool from what I'm reading on Wikipedia.
But it's hardly equivocal.
Camden Williams
>same thread every day
Kevin Rodriguez
Mega Man Legends had a lock-on system.
Benjamin Adams
What are you trying to get across when you say >First game in history about archery Like, archery is a primary method of combat so the game plays more like a TPS?
Camden Garcia
Tomb Raider had a automatic lock-on/targeting 2 years before OoT
Nathan Edwards
OoT didn't invent any of those
Daniel Jenkins
Daggerfall had a massive open world with a day/night cycle and horseback combat 2 years before Ocarina of Time.
David Brooks
>>Nintendo saying it will change all conventions in gaming like Ocarina of Time.
Like Star fox? Hows that working out for ya?
Sorry I love my wiiu as a third console but I lost all hope for nintendo.

I've never played MML but from what I've seen it only locks your vector and then releases you. CyberTroopers did this a little better by making it so that you could move and stay locked, but OoT's is still a step above both.
MML - 1D (one point) CyberTroopers - 2D (can move in a line, up, left and right, or at the enemy) Ocarina of Time - 3D (can move forward and backwards, left and right, and circle around)
CyberTroopers had the idea, but didn't have the technology.
Alexander Collins
RE4 is a TPS.
Daggerfall also isn't Reality 3D, it's software-rendered, and you can't mount/dismount in real-time. It's just your avatar changes.
But how elaborate is the day/night cycle? I've never played it, but I doubt it moves in real-time.
Brody Hughes
>and you can't mount/dismount in real-time. It's just your avatar changes. Are you retarded by any chance?
William Hall
Are you?
Ayden Morgan
I love Zelda, and I would put OoT in my top 10; probably even top 5.
But please stop this bait shit. It's going to be twilight princess tier, but don't mock people that actually want to be hype but know better than to think it will have the critical acclaim it ocarina of time. We just don't live in that era anymore, even if it does turn out incredible.
Fuck you.

Ican't decide whether to be more hyped for FFXV or ZeldaU/NX.
Jordan Parker
It's not based around archery. That's one of MANY items.
