    I've watched trailers but not all the gameplay videos that have been out. I watched the very first one when I was trying to compile a list of features but now I feel like it is all in the open and I rather do the actual exploring and figuring out some of the open-world puzzles myself.

    It definitely has gone beyond just teasing, although I don't feel like they have particularly spoiled most of the game. I think the amount liberated till now it is perfect. They have been really good at handling things, giving us a long starvation and the sprinkles that were kept in Crescendo right up to the Switch Presentation Third Trailer. I don't think they will add more, or at least I hope not, because if they do then I'll have to share your concern for this over-exposition of the game.

    Usually, the stuff that feels overkills it is not Nintendo but the same fans overanalyzing things, like when they deciphered the Hylian language on the Tapestry and have found out what it says (which seems to be a prologue). That information, for me, is a big spoiler.

    I feel this game is a call to the Zelda fans, including the old schoolers that never completely saw eye to eye with the 3D games. BotW seems like a second take on the original idea of what they expected Hyrule Fantasy to become back in the 8 bit era but without the limitations back then, and they have stacked everything quite high. Adding voice acting is probably one of the ballsiest movements.

    I'm glad they've stuck to in-game footage rather that pre-rendered crap like most triple-A companies.


    QFT. Nintendo is of the few that actually show gameplay. I hope they don't change that.

    Oh, if you did that's fine. I wouldn't know. I also don't know your YouTube name, so if you've been commenting under another name I still couldn't tell. The problem with embedded players is the lack of direct feedback on the video's page itself.

    Well, I made sure now. I have the same nick so you would recognise me straight away. I dn't think I really commented on them save for one or two.

    Thanks for the Twitter plug by the way. And glad you got a job. ^.^


    No worries and thank you! I am happy to be employed. It takes a load off my mind.

    Time to theorize, overanalyze and to place bets. Ladies and gentleman. I don't know why we don't have yet such a topic but it is time to correct this.

    We have been given a good chunk of videos now to strengthen or rebuild our theories about the game.

    Who is this Link?
    [GALLERY=media, 74]Archer Link, bow down by Kaynil posted Jun 15, 2016 at 7:09 AM[/GALLERY]

    Where in the timeline does this story fit?

    Technology that reminds us of Skyward Sword.
    Koroks that makes us think of The Wind Waker.
    A Fountain in ruins that looks suspiciously similar to the one in Twilight Princess.

    So many possibilities. Have you checked Link's theory yet? He considers a 4th timeline.

    Anyway, I hope you at least vote so we can see where does the Zelda Cavern Community stands in this important matter.

    Honestly I'd love if this Link was the Hero of Time Link. He is my favourite incarnation.

    The Master Sword could be rusty because Ganon had it in his possession for all them years attempting to destroy it before it was stolen and returned to the Sacred Meadow or Kokiri Forest or whatever they call it.

    Or like in other games, simply by destroying the sources of light in the world maybe the sword lost its power and needs to be reforged even if Ganondorf didn't take it directly. Then again we have never seen it this decayed. It used to be dull not so forgotten as to be oxidized.

    For me it could easily fall on either. I guess it will depend on those memories lost to know if he is a new hero or someone we know.

    I am going for the normal Switch version. I was hoping to get one or two BoTW Amiibos but not with that price.
    I tweet EB asking about the gap but they didn't answer.

    Buying a console on day 1 for 1 game makes no sense

    Say no more. Like this Zelda showed us, not the best idea, not even with Nintendo is a sure thing.

    I don't know if I will get mine on launch day but I will be getting the switch Zelda, Yooka Laylee and Mario Odyssey which intrigued me. I feel I will be giving enough use to justify its purchase.

    Amiibos I have bought some, mainly Zelda to collect and some to play Smash. I like the levelling up and becoming fight buddies. :)

    So, it seems like EB is having the time of their lives with the Breath of the Wild hype.
    Or Australia Taxes have really kicked this year when it comes to video games.

    Anyway, the thing that made me start this thread is:

    The BoTW Amiibo are almost twice as expensive.

    Why? I can only think that they are going to be extra detailed, extra big or something... how can that jump be justified?

    There are five of these statues. That's around 200 AUD just for them.

    A Big Zelda Collector more or less needs to be ready to spend:
    190 for the Master Edition
    200 for the Amiibo
    470 for the Switch console


    Meanwhile in the EB Games headquarters...

    All this comes from the Nintendo Switch Presentation.
    If you want to check in more details, I recommend you to check Zelda cavern website.

    But baaasically...
    1. This trailer:


    2. More Amiibos: Zelda and bokoblin.
    3. Zelda preorder edition deluxe: It's called "Master Edition" and is full of merchandise goodies.
    4: Breath of the Wild will be launching same day as the Nintendo Switch

    So, what do you think of this?

    Groose in 1:50 is so fitting. 4:50 got me laughing out loud!
    You guys had so much fun with it. It makes me so happy. (n_n)

    It is only that I haven't finished the SS game that I haven't seen your amazing conclusion but you guys are a huge motivator for me to get done with this game because I know how much I am missing. I want to get done just so I can hear your dub on it. All I have heard and watched so far has been really enjoyable and good quality and I really think they could make radio episodes.

    I am very happy you kept posting each episode even if we are such a small community. Thank you very much. Really.

    Hello. Welcome to the thread where we can watch and discuss together the presentation!
    I am so excited! All my attempts to remain calm and rational have been now thrown out of the window.

    Let the HYPEEE begin...

    Here's the NoA presentation.

    Here is the Nintendo fo Europe Presentation:

    Oh, might as well share the japanese link:

    You all be warned that the replies below are almost guaranteed to contain spoilers, so don't go below or watch the stream from our website instead if you rather not to be spoiled. :)
    Mi opinion resumida:

    I do not think the servers will ever go offline for them fully. I can still download my purchases on my Wii, I can even download new purchases on it. Servers for communications yes.


    Those are good news for me. I haven't tried to redownload Rygar or other Wii purchases since I transferred the system.
    Probably like you say they will keep the Wii U and 3DS e-shop up for a good while because: moooney!

    I've got my digitally almost every Zelda game I could except for the Zelda 3D remakes OoT and MM (I was gifted the physical copy of MM 3D). I even have the ambassador ones. <3
    I definitely would feel really sad if there is no way to transfer them or re-download for the switch. I am also concerned that Nintendo's approach might be, if you bought this title on the 3DS/Wii U you might buy it in our switch eShop for a discounted price. Not sure if I like that, although having the game available might be better than nothing even if I have to pay again or it.

    I raise my hand here with you link, I am tired of re-buying.
    I agree with CM30 about them just moving the collection already and add what is missing. Now with things being linked to a proper ID instead of just a numeric code it should be easier to keep track of past purchases and stuff.,

    Quite interesting theories there, I agree with some point and other are things I'd like to happen but I am not confident that will be the case. haha.

    s

    I think the switch wasn't made to replace the Wii U or 3DS. But I guarantee it will both.


    That's what I've heard around. Even if it doesn't happen immediately the 3DS era will most likely end as the company focus more on the switch even for the on-the-go titles.

    The only problem I foresee is that it doesn't have any real optical drive so people will get mad about it not playing music and movies.

    Nothing new with Nintendo. :.__.:

    I bet the Switch will come out in 16gb, 32gb and 64gb sizes. And it will not have a hard drive it will be MicroSD. For the first 9 months, there will be no way to upgrade to 128gb or further.

    I don't think Nintendo is the type to offer different hard disk sizes, I think it is more likely they will choose a size and that'd be the one for sale. I think it is more likely an SD or micro SD serves as extra space than the console not having a hard drive space at all.

    We have read that Gamecube games are going to be on the Switch VC so I hope they allow you to download your digital WiiU non VC purchases on there. (ie WW HD, TP HD)

    I so want this. It is ridiculous we have to buy for each VC shop, but thanks to the NNID I want to think the switch will be able to offer us to re-download previous purchases. At the very least I am rooting for that to be the case.

    I bet when the Switch comes out if you get one early enough they will allow you to have a third nnid tied account

    3DS
    Wii U
    Switch

    If you get a switch after say 8 months one of the older two will only allow you to transfer account and you will lose the license rights to games on that device.

    I think it will allow the tie, just how we can tie to Miitomo and stuff. I don't see why they would lock you into do it within the year or else. I think they just will allow you to tie the switch to your account and and then in a few years the WiiU / 3DS accounts will be discarded as the servers become offline.

    hat sucks... it sucks so much it sucks a big fat wobbly man's sweaty nipples. Is there no contract or clause that makes this illegal? FOUR days?? That is intensely disrespectful. I can't believe they did that to you all!

    Yeah, they were going to do that, but thanks to the head chef of that day, we learned on the 31st instead.

    Looking forward to Tuesday, my day off, so I can start putting up my resume and stuff.

    Here's hoping 2017 only gets better!


    Yes.

    As for me, I didn't get the job or any other job for that sake. I'm running out of money and I don't know how to pay the March rent yet. I got one application posted now, but I'm extremely overqualified and I haven't heard from them.

    Aw, man. I am sorry. I hope you do get something good quickly. It is ridiculous how they can reject people for being overqualified.
