Correct me if I'm wrong, but apparently, the characters of this new Zelda limited to Link and the mysterious old man, who gives tips and advice to you. The rest of the game is summarized to the monsters we have to defeat, the world that we can explore and dungeons scattered throughout several corners of the map (and we have complete freedom to visit these places, or not).
Does this not remembers the 1st The Legend of Zelda? Could it be that after all these years and innovations, the game will return to the classic scheme? (Just speculating)
2. The Great Plateau is a ddeliberate callback to Zelda 1. Those giant rocks you see in the reveal trailer and in the background are Spectacle Rock according to Bill.
Leo Perry
Mostly this, but they confirmed at E3 that there are more NPCs and towns.
Jonathan Reyes
you are wrong. As stated in every thread and every stream, the E3 build removed the NPC and cities to avoid spoiler. Now go attempt your shitty smear campaing back to neogaf and redddit.
Jayden Murphy
Who said he was trying to smear the game?
Shut the hell up Nintendo fanbot.
I hate to be associated with you real brown-nosing drones coming out of the woodwork just because this Zelda is finally getting recognition.
Ian Brown
...
Parker Mitchell
Yeah Aonuma openly talked about the return to the roots when he appeared on stream.
Zachary Mitchell
No, they will fuck up either by using gimmicks, shitty one use items, some bullshit mechanic or bad dungeon design.
>I'm just a strange old man They just don't care anymore, they want fast sales. Funny because Zelda never was a big selling franchise. It will probably be SS 2.0 all over, as no one has a WiiU and probably no one will buy a NX as well.
First Zelda my ass, series peaked OoT and went to shit after MM.
Ian Gomez
Are we over this? Can we talk about stuff beyond the fact that this is a Zelda NES callback?
Does anyone have that pic of a stone carving depicting creatures/events which only exist in separate timelines? Also what is the source of that image?
IIRC it won't let you past one of the first few rooms unless you have all 8 pieces of the Triforce, and you can't kill Ganon unless you have the Silver Arrow
Hunter Ramirez
I don't have the picture, but it's from TPHD
Jayden Torres
>Zelda never was a big selling franchise
What
Jeremiah Hernandez
The changes in Nintendo's philosophy are going to be all the more obvious by comparing these two games.
Original Zelda: Old man has one line of text and gives you a sword
You dont even play as Link. When will Nintendo release the real, gritty Zelda where we play as real Link?
Owen Howard
user it's the 18th best selling franchise of all time
Cameron Parker
>Goes back to Zelda's open world roots >Abandons Zelda's roots in iconic music Fuck this dead silent shit.

>Funny because Zelda never was a big selling franchise.
what did he mean by this?
Isaac Gomez
Do you really want to hear hyrule field for one hour straight?
The music in Zelda is great but the thing I disliked the most in Hyrule Fantasy was hearing the same tune for hours.
Luis Martin
That he's a retard, obviously.
Benjamin Wright
Did you not understand the point of Link overlooking the cliff at the beginning? They copied off of the original Legend of Zelda art.
David Baker
Console zelda's don't know how to have good music anymore so they decided to just remove it.
Also being a call back to Zelda 1 is great, but the goat simulator physics sure aren't
Asher Bailey
Not him. But yes. If anything create like 3-4 songs per zone and have them all seemingly blend together.
Parker White
Actually what surprised me about the new old man is that he is quite silent. He only gives you a few bits of information and then goes back to his business. He only says more if you talk to him and he never triggers any tutorial mode.
You would never find out you can spend the time by the fire if you don't ask him what he is doing near the fireplace after the first dialogue. Most people just ran away, leaving him there.
Juan Diaz
I wish that this game will not have those fucking annoying Aonuma dungeons. Zelda was meant to be action game, not puzzle.
Nathaniel Ortiz
Nice false dilemma.
Adam Cox
>the characters of this new Zelda limited to Link and the mysterious old man Actually, no. There are more NPCs but they purposely avoided to show them in the demo. Just think about Kokiris.
Logan Morgan
HEY EVERYBODY COME INTO THE /vg/ AND HELP KEEP IT ALIVE UNTIL THE GAME COMES OUT SO WE CAN CATALOG EVERYTHING WE LEARN ABOUT IT IN REAL-TIME!
Luke Young
>"What happened to Link's green tunic?" >"I don't know... I wonder..."
Wait, wait. What if there's some important event that will go along with finding the original green tunic? What if it's finding it on the body of OoT Link from the timeline where he failed?
James Murphy
I hope its in the Water Temple
Landon James
the green tunic and the real master sword is found where you find link's body
Jace Barnes
>it's a female link
Camden Morgan
It really was a dumb idea though. That just because you only saw two characters, that means only two characters exist. Who thinks like that?
Henry Howard
This one guy is really buttblasted about the lack of overwolrd music huh?
Jack Moore
Th-They removed the NPCs and towns because SPOILERS, user!
BotW will have TONS of NPCs and MASSIVE towns! You'll see!
YOU'LL ALL SEE!
;_;
Blake Wood
>female Link fails and the male replacement has to do her job The outrage would be hilarious.
Nathan Carter
Not even the first game was limited to just Link and the old man. There were old women and merchants, too.
