Big surprise of the DLC: The Ocarina of Time. You can play all of the songs from OOT and MM for various effects. The big gimmick? Playing the Song of Time warps you 100 years into the past, doubling the content of the game with a past Hyrule filled with quests.
It is framed as if Link is merely reliving memories when he plays the Song of Time, but gameplay wise you are effectively hopping between the two "worlds". Playing the Song at specific locations (hinted at by new Kass riddles) brings you into a specific version of Past Hyrule dedicated to a story sequence. There are 9 of these scattered throughout Hyrule, each takes about 3 hours to complete and has an hour of cutscenes each. There is one for each champion, dedicated to Link interacting with that Champion. There is also 1 of Child Link, 1 of Link + Zelda, 1 of the whole crew together (but is actually about Ganon lore and backstory) 1 about the King and the Kingdom of Hyrule (big focus on Castle Town and Hyrule Castle) and 1 about how Link becomes a knight.
Outside of these story sequences, using the Ocarina simply brings you to a generic past hyrule, set after Link becomes a knight but before the rest of the story. It is filled with quests and smaller story lines to pursue. Link starts this world with 5 hearts and by completing "Legendary Tasks" he can gain heart or stamina upgrades. These Legendary Tasks play out like Shrine Quests, but they are all unique and generally are more challenging and in depth than the shrine quests in the base game.
There is also a "free update" with DLC pack 2, which increases the length of the prior memories to 11 minutes each, these new expanded updates are directed by some anime director I have never heard of called Kiyotaka Oshiyama- and he is also directing the cutscenes of the story heavy special sections of the playable past sequences. This update will also be making some localization changes with the UI.

So, like a Dark World? I want to believe this.
Kevin Davis
false. This isn't 1997 Nintendo who would have done that without DLC.
Landon Jackson
Why would you make all this up?
Jack Taylor
Nice fanfic.
Ryder Russell
>"leak" >it's actually a ridiculous wishlist of things that will never ever happen
Why do people do this
Elijah Watson
too good to be true. Try again user
Jace Morales
Why did you type out all this bullshit?
Jace Anderson
This fucking faggot actually typed all this bullshit out.
Jackson Nelson
1997 Nintendo would have charged an entire new game for that amount of content. See Majora's Mask which is basically OoT's DLC
Brandon Sanchez
Just post moar qt link pics
Isaiah Green
No, 1997 would have made a complete game and not give in to the open world meme.
Caleb Carter
This is bullshit. But i'll believe it.
Easton Wood
jokes on you. I was merely pretending
Gabriel Edwards
Shitty fanfic, but >Kiyotaka Oshiyama god-tier taste in animators. 8/10 overall.
Austin Hughes
based
Jack Howard
>There are 9 of these scattered throughout Hyrule, each takes about 3 hours to complete and has an hour of cutscenes each. Thank fuck this is fake.
Thomas Hill
...
Brandon Robinson
What? They literally did that with Majora's Mask you retard.
Henry Turner
You're both retarded. Majora's Mask was the product of Zelda Ura falling through, which was additional content for OoT.
Can you both stop talking out your ass?
Connor James
fuck off
John Nelson
>few quests = doubling the content
Adrian Bell
they fell for the open world meme in 1986 when they made the first zelda
Logan Rivera
>9 hours of cutscenes >when the base game has less than two terrible fucking bait
Jace Campbell
the first zelda wasnt open world
Connor Sanders
so it's basically OoT's DLC.
Ryan Torres
what does that card do?
Bentley Barnes
>>Playing the Song of Time warps you 100 years into the past, doubling the content of the game with a past Hyrule filled with quests. stopped reading there
Nicholas Myers
It literally was an open world game you autistic faggot.
Owen Anderson
no it wasnt you unintelligent faggot
Jonathan Johnson
It allows you to draw two cards but only if you explain what the card effect is first
Joseph Ramirez
>Playing the Song of Time warps you 100 years into the past, doubling the content of the game with a past Hyrule filled with quests
Already skeptical.
Big if true.
Isaiah Hall
hmm sorry but the first zelda is an open world game sweetie
Brayden Cruz
no it wasnt
Carson Taylor
>the first zelda wasnt open world >open world - the player is given a virtual world and is given considerable freedom in regard to how and when to approach particular objectives
Asher Gonzalez
yeah huh
Landon Hernandez
it is an open world you deluded faggot
Joshua Powell
>a video game - the player is given a virtual world and is given considerable freedom in regard to how and when to approach particular objectives
Hudson Miller
...
Owen Hughes
No it wasnt
Josiah Brooks
>being in denial
okay
Brandon Nelson
>zelda's fivehead it actually works
Cameron Hill
So last of us is open world? How is Zelda I not open world?
Jack Johnson
None of you know what open world means
John Nelson
>calls others unintelligent after posting retarded shit
The first Zelda game was an Open World game. People have been calling it open world since the 80s you underage faggot.
Joseph Martin
>thread devolves into an autist war
Blake Price
>The first Zelda game was an Open World game
The first zelda was an adventure action rpg. Coined exclusively by Miyamoto.
Nolan Martinez
I AM THE CHEESE, I AM THE MOST IMPORTANT CHARACTER
Zachary Adams
No you clearly don't.
Gabriel Turner
AUTIST WAR BEST WAR
Angel Jenkins
I guess going by your autistic logic, BOTW is an "open air" game, not an open world. Retard.
Ayden Young
Is Eye of the Beholder open world or not? And why?
Levi Ross
>More Revali/Link interactions I'd be down with it.
Easton Gutierrez
You don't know what open world means.
Josiah Roberts
I don't know I never played that before .
Luke Howard
Toddler spotted.
Sebastian Ward
What does open world mean? Explain a definition that doesn't apply to all video games with interactive features.
Logan Bailey
I already did. How is Zelda 1 not a open world game?
Jonathan Gomez
Because none of you know what open world means.
Lincoln Kelly
Judging by this thread, you know nothing at all
Christian Williams
Here's an actual leak of what's gonna happen: >one new dungeon in the style of the Divine Beasts >a couple new weapons for that dungeon >2 twenty second cutscenes telling you more about the Champions >a new boss that's pretty much another Ganon Blight >one new set of armor >a new enemy type >that's it.
And I'm being optimistic here. Honestly guys, are you really expecting anything from nu-tendo after the "difficulty", aka make every enemy a bullet spoonge, DLC?
Jeremiah Price
>judging by some random thread on a single site on the internet, blah blah blah
Henry Allen
>everyone is stupid except me
Tyler Howard
because he's an autistic retard that gets triggered by the term open world for some reason.
Jack Butler
I'm really skeptical considering the first DLC pack was just a whole lot of nothing.
Juan Young
How is Zelda 1 not a open world game. You have yet to provide a actual argument.
Kayden Butler
whats the difference between an open world game and an adventure game? Is Grim Fandando an open world game or not? Why?
Nicholas Garcia
This.
Hunter Sanders
keep embarrassing yourself mouth-breather. the first zelda was open world and there's nothing you can do about that fact
Jacob Cruz
Zelda 1 is a action adventure rpg. That's what I've already told you. Now explain what open world means.
Jeremiah Hill
grim fandango is an extremely linear adventure game. how the fuck can it be an open world?
Angel Parker
What makes a game linear and what makes it open world, then?
Blake Reed
Those are called expansions, my underage poster. Plenty of games had expansions.
Eli Anderson
>Loading between screens >Open world
So is OoT open world too faggot~?
Jaxon Brooks
Nintenkids really are children stuck in obese manchild bodies, only a child would still make up these grandiose fibs/wishlists about a video game
I don't care if you're 37 and still living in your mother's house, you're mentally underage, and you have to leave.
Jack Jones
Honestly, I am. The first update gave us some nice stuff that was easy on the artists and some nice low-hanging-fruit stuff like the Master Mode which didn't add any work for the artists aside from the golden enemies. The reason for this is that the art team was working on stuff in the 2nd set of DLC, which is going to have more of that type of content.
Xavier Anderson
Google the fucking term and apply yourself. Do you need to get your ass wiped too? Seriously, the amount of hand-holding in Zelda games seems to have caused brain damage in some of you faggots.
Angel Cook
>google the term
No one knows what open world means on Google. Everyone has their own definition, so tell me YOUR definition. If it's as bad as the one given earlier in this thread, then it's as a retarded of a definition as RPGs. I've been playing video games since the 80s. Tell me what open world means that makes it different from adventure, rpg, and all the other genre names that have been the cornerstore of this industry for decades. What makes a game an "open world" and what doesn't make it?
Ethan Collins
What the fuck does loading have to do with a game being open world? Elder Scrolls and GTA games have loading screens.
Gabriel Adams
I want to believe user... I really do. They really can expand the world a lot with future DLCs by adding new islands and stuff, I just hope they don't go the lazy route like all other devs.
Jaxon Scott
>Zelda 1 is a action adventure rpg BOTW is also a action adventure game. But it's still open world. Same as Zelda 1. Fuck off retard. >Open world, free roam, or (more loosely) sandbox are terms for video games where a player can move freely through a virtual world and is given considerable freedom in regard to how and when to approach particular objectives, as opposed to other video games that have a more linear structure to their gameplay.
Juan Sanders
No, being developmentally stunted is just a prerequisite for being a Nintendo fan past the age of 10
Matthew Cruz
If the game has an explorable landmass faggot
Brandon Turner
>it's still open world
Why? Zelda is an adventure game because it allows the player to go out and explore and travel a virtual world. It's an action game because all of its elements take place in a simultaneous fashion.
What makes the game open world? If I can give a description, it should be very easy for you.
Luke Price
So is OoT an open world game?
Liam Diaz
Draw two cards?
I think you need to be more specific.
Parker Gray
...
Samuel Fisher
>explorable landmass
Explain. Does this mean the game has to have an overworld? Does it mean the game has to have a travel element to it at all? What keeps Super Mario bros on the nes from being an explorable landmass game, since it's a game about Mario going from point A to point B to rescue the princess?
Jackson Lee
An adventure RPG can also be an open world game you dense faggot. See The Witcher 3 and Fallout. Now go fucking lynch yourself
Isaac Sullivan
Well let's be real, the most time consuming part of any game's development cycle is the art. That's part of why the first set of DLC was so easy on the artists. It's cause they were working on content for the 2nd DLC.
Luke Bennett
So that means he'll impregnate Paya?
Christian Walker
So whats the difference between an adventure and an open world game?
Jonathan Wright
>Why >Open world, free roam, or (more loosely) sandbox are terms for video games where a player can move freely through a virtual world and is given considerable freedom in regard to how and when to approach particular objectives, as opposed to other video games that have a more linear structure to their gameplay
Juan Gutierrez
You went way over the top with this. There's no way Nintendo would give fans literally anything for free, even an extra minute on a cutscenes. This is the same company that charged 20 dollars for a difficulty setting. That's where your story fell apart.
Easton Ross
That your mother never loved you.
Jack Barnes
OF THIS SHOW
Tyler Long
>in Super mario Bros, various levels can be approached in a variety of ways. Some have it where you can approach from on ground, underground, or from the sky. They also have multiple paths for getting to your destination
So Super Mario Bros is open world then.
Luke Carter
Super Mario Bros is an open world game
Xavier Fisher
So why not call it an adventure action platformer?
Matthew Lee
Yes, you're freely entitled to go where you wish upon getting to Hyrule Field. Just because there are requirements to get to certain areas doesn't mean it isn't open world.
You can do the dungeons in different order and there's nothing stopping you from stopping halfway through one and completing another. You can finish the forest temple last but get the bow and do every other temple beforehand.
