The Legend of Zelda

[Shiyonasan]

I know!!! The graphics and the new gameplay mechanics are AMAZING! You can use a shield as a snowboard! Among other things. It's worth the wait!

Definitely! I also saw today that the map is supposed to be 9 times bigger than Skyrim's (which is VERY large if you don't know). The amount of exploration you'll be able to do will be amazing!

I am not a fan of Zelda games, but the trailer is amazing, it reminds me of Miyazaki's work.

I watched the trailer and was really impressed by how the combat looks. It looks a lot less game-ish than previous Zelda games. It just seems so much more HNGGGGG than the others.

Nine... times... And I thougt that Skyrim was a time eater

Do they happen to sell a time compressor with the game, so we actually have a chance to visit at least a little part of the game within our lifetime?

Yeah, I have Skyrim. And man, it's huge! How are we going to be able to explore all that!? Can the horses go super fast? Perhaps we can teleport with the Shiekah Slate...

...or maybe there's shortcuts.

Most Zeldas have a teleport system. Some are good, some are bad or useless. I hope the one they are planning to use will be good. I hope it will be a checkpoint system such as the one that was used in Majora's Mask, or better the one used in Twilight Princess (basically same one, just more dense). A good one would be the possibility to have beacons in the inventory that could be dropped and used as teleport points. Not easy and prone to possible bugs, but it would be a good idea if done right.

It is not as big as the Minecraft worlds on PC. ^_^;

BUMP

Now that I could lay my hands on a Nintendo Switch that worked more than 2 days, I could run around in that endless world. It didn't take too long before I crossed the path of a guardian. So for anyone who would wonder, here is THE way to take a picture of a guardian in 2 steps.

Step 1:

Note the targetting laser, it doesn't come from MY camera

Step 2:
click for spoilerThe guardian shoots YOU!



... and you die

So my conclusion is that guardians are shy to cameras

[fafner]

I'm not a fan of selfies, and especially not of dangerous selfies. Nevertheless, I found funny to do one in Breath of the Wild.

Needless to say that the following pictures are roughly the same as the ones of step 2 above. Guardians don't like cameras. Or maybe they don't like me. Or maybe they don't like anything that moves. Basically when I see one and I am not in a suicidal mood I just keep my distances
