Alright, it's a shit storm brewing about zelda. It's impossible to know who to trust, and who's opinions are even worth anything.
So, I propose this
>post your opinion of Zelda based on content shown/played thus far
>also list 3-5 of your favorite games
I'm hyped for zelda based on promotional footage and early reviews, but the chatter on here has me nervous.

7/10 so far. The puzzles are boring and I'm not liking how empty the world feels, most of the time. I also don't like the bosses all looking the same, or being worse than SS's bosses. Too many reskins with enemies, too, and not enough changes in their attack patterns to compensate for that. Other than that, everything else seems pretty good, except the music. I am feeling disappointed, though.

I guess this outs me as a pretty outspoken Nintendo fan.
Word, it does look very very detailed. My only concern is how that detail is distributed across such a huge world.
Solid list, no shame in being a Nintendo fan, but it does color your opinions a bit as it does mine, I'm a huge Nintendo fag that's why I wanted to get people's lists
8/10. Botw looks very comfy and, in my personal opinion, better than Horizon (I watched the whole stream of it last week with you anons).
I can't wait to play it on my switch.
>OoT
>Majora
>Bloodborne

I think it's going to be a pretty solid title, and hopefully one that lays the groundwork for future Zelda games.
I'm looking forward to getting it once I actually get a Switch, but people overhyping the fuck out of it won't end up so well. Hype is fine, but damn tone it down some.

It seems okay so far, but that's about it. The lack of overworld music seems like a huge oversight, I shouldn't be going for alternative audio sources a few hours in. The physics stuff is actually cool, but the simple combat really drags down all of their attempts to make the game challenging, or make exploration satisfying. I'd say that's the biggest weakness; the open world isn't hugely populated, but at least if the combat were good, getting to a hot spot would be exciting.
I just played Nier Automata, and while the combat wasn't exceptional, and the open world was even more sparse, getting into a big optional fight or finding a drone program feel like a big deal. Getting a powerful sword that will break in two fights just doesn't do it for me, and neither does mashing my way through another group of bokoblins.
I don't share the complaints about the graphics though, I think it looks pretty good.

The game is fine. Overworld has static enemies, dungeons will have harder ones.

Looks like an open world generica meme game. I was very hopeful for this title and it's just living up to the "Console wars" bullshit from everything I have seen.
Uncreative content, reused "memes" like Ubisoft Towers, horrifyingly bad AI for most of the enemies; the bosses are just sponges, weapons have no heart or design because they're all disposables and durability renders any attachment to them temporary at best (No Ocarina of Time moments like finding the Hammer in Fire Temple, etc).
Really hope it plays far better than what i've seen and gathered.

Looks cool. I'm a sucker for open world so I think I'll really like it if I play it, but I'm not going to do so unless the reviews are very good and people generally like it (don't have hacked Wii U and I'm a penny pincher). It has to be worth my time.

Quite the overstatement. Got ahold of 4 soldier swords dicking around and haven't even broken my first yet and I've spent probably 3 hours just clearing out camps and shrines.
Have* been looking at a screen for too long.
For what it's worth, I went in with zero expectations or hype and I love it. The fact that it incorporates some early Japanese aesthetic is a nice change of pace too. The weapons are a pretty neat change too once you stop using the starting zone stuff.
>There is no flow in battles, because you have to change your weapons constantly.
This isn't a problem when weapon switch is mapped to a single button press. Pic related.
Dunno about the rest of your random complaints. I'll see for myself.
t. AAA cumgargler
What? How come?
I had only one weapon with good durability, and it was one with 12 atk. The rest breaks pretty easily, specially if you throw them and kill the Mini-bosses/guardians.
It looks fucking amazing. It's everything I've ever wanted a Zelda game to be. There's just so much to do and explore. The shrines are great, and the game's filled with little surprises. It's polished as all fuck. I usually dislike open world games, but this I feel is open world done right. No "kill x" fetch quests, and a tightly designed world where terrain is taken into account from travelling to exploration.

The entire game is 100% just another garbage open world game but it tries to trick you into thinking it isn't. It's a very large and wide body of water, but after looking at it for more than a moment you realize it's only as deep as a puddle.
Some of the aesthetics are nice but that does not a game make. All of the handcrafting the made the zelda overworlds good is entirely gone from this entry. The dungeons similarly seem weak. The shrines are trash. And it's a god damn chore to get anywhere because of the vast stretches of nothing coupled with an obscenely small stamina meter.

>The rest breaks pretty easily, specially if you throw
Throw is designed to deal critical damage but also tax hard on the weapon. the fuck were you expecting???
I only throw when they are already breaking.
It is like one/two per battle. And most of the time they happen to break in the middle of it.
Yup.
The combat itself is the biggest offender, it is like 3 or 4 steps back from TP and Dark Souls series. There is no knockback, and when Link is thrown he takes FOREVER to recover, because he is rolling.
throwing em is a waste.
the breaking hit is critical by default. throw a weapon is only smart if you really need the long range damage like snipping a camp outlooker
Open world still worries me a bit, but after everything I've seen I think it looks great.

No, not the same user, I'm the guy who said that on the other topic, also because I really feel like this about the combat system, Nintendrone.
>Mfw you're this upset people don't like "Yet another big an empty open world game that stole 50%+ of the games resources"
Everyone in this thread will play the game regardless.
>There is no knockback
HAHAHAHAHAA
All these amazing,l in-depth opinions taken from watching a stream all day.
Don't you fags have other games to play? Why do you spoil everything watching a stream? Fucking cancer.
Can't you read, user? Link only gets thrown, I can't stop a enemy atack by attacking him, it feels like an unstoppable animation, the same thing goes for Link, the enemies can't really knockback Link with weaker attacks, so you don't feel like you are taking damage.
When Link receives knockback, he gets thrown, and takes FOREVER to recover, because he is rolling. It is strange as fuck.
I'm hyped as fuck. It's looks like the perfect game for me to sink my teeth into and explore.

Holyshit that shrine he went through is a fucking mario 64 level even the music is similar
All you need to know about how much confidence has in the game is the fact that the review embargo lifts a day before release.
It just screams 7/10 and Horizon screams 8/10 for me personally.
>>post your opinion of Zelda based on content shown/played thus far
6.5-7/10

>shrines look like they'll become repetitive fairly quickly and it doesn't help that there isn't any thematic variety to them

>physics are neat but feel wasted and poor combat mechanics and simple puzzles
Overall, I'm extremely disappointed and glad that I didn't preorder. I new thought I say this for what was once my favorite franchise, but I think I'm going to drop the Zelda series for good now until Nintendo either hands the IP over to a second/third party, or brings Koizumi back. I don't trush Aonuma and Fujibayashi anymore, just fucking fire them already Nintendo. Especially Aonuma.

I put about 3 hours in, I think it's amazing so far. The difficulty is just right, the open world feels varied and well designed, and I love the hands-off approach to the story and gameplay, which feels incredibly natural and good to play. I don't see what could really be better so far, maybe the world and systems will wear thin but right now I'm inclined to think the naysayers are a bunch of edgelord faggots looking to hate
>Earthbound

For all you guys out there already leaking all the shit that I'm doing my best to avoid, answer me just one thing please.
Does it have the original overworld theme song?
goddamn the sound design is excellent in this. comfy as FUCK
NO.
It has barely what you could even describe as a soundtrack. Just some edgy, abstract ambience and shitty boss battle tunes.
I feel exactly like you, Zelda OoT and ALttP are both one of my favorite games...
What made Zelda really shiny was Koizumi/Tezuka, that is clear now. Aonuma ruined the series with that "puzzle oriented bullshit".
LA, ALttP and OoT were directed/co-directed by them.
Yes
Stop lying on the internet, you faggot.
No, as far I've played, a weird experimental ambient sound plays in some areas, like montain tops and next to Shrinre, I'm on the second part of the game, so I can't confirm.
>minimalist music is considered edgy
Exactly! Not just edgy, edgy trash.
whats with all the random ass piano keys? I feel like its ruining the rest of the music.
these NPCs are charming
so are there any "zelda items" at all? hookshot, heros bow, ect?

6/10 from an observation point of view, haven't played it yet.
It really does look like the open world formula put through a nintendo filter. They might be new to the Zelda franchise, but a lot of these ideas have been done before, and in an environment where they're not trying to do everything at once.
Weapon durability to me takes almost all the fun out of any adventure game. It isn't a challenge, it's a chore. It's not immersive, it's a chore. It's like having to make Link shit when he needs to or he'll automatically clench his buttcheeks and walk funny until you do.
All that being said, it looks like a game where you can take many different approaches to things like exploration and combat, which is always welcome. I just hope that all those little things like setting grass on fire, propelling rocks, or destroying environments will actually be a viable option in combat.

This is MGSV all over again.
The enormous map isn't worth exploring, because all there is to see is encampments, animals to kill, and weapons to pick up. There's no music at all except for dungeons and enemy encounters. The button mapping is all kinds of retarded, and you can't even customize it in the options. You'll see basically every single kind of pickup in just your first two hours.

These are literally all wrong.
But they're not.
You forgot the shrines, korok seeds and towers. I don't know how you missed the main elements to the game. Music does play when just in the overworld too.
>Koroks seeds.
Lol user, really?
It looks good but I didn't like TP much (it was cheesy as fuck too) and SS was not good (not that it's completely trash, dungeons were kinda nice).
I thought that after the first time BotW was shown, it got out hand. There were BotW even months later even though there was nothing new to discuss and it was just the same webms posted over and over again and people started to bitch around when someone mentioned that.
I'm really looking forward to BotW but I'll wait a week until I decide to buy (also I have an important exam on the 9th).
I fell for 3DWorld so I will doubt Sup Forums.

Yes, unless you want the starting inventory size the whole game for some reason.
>Defending padding the game with fetch quest.
Come on...
There are also secrets like the graveyard with the shining stones.
The gane is full of small things that help in he variety of exploration
So you know nothing about the game? Korok seeds have nothing to do with any fetch quests.
Looks pretty good. I dont have a wiiu or switch, so I might wait til a bundle comes out.
