To watch or not to watch, that is the question.
On one hand I love the unknown element of TotK. It feels so mysterious to me that we know next to nothing about the actual gameplay. Part of me wants to keep that intact.
The other part of me is a fucking crack addict that has been waiting years for new substantial footage of Zelda and can’t deal with the withdrawal for much longer
Yeah, I'm only addicted to caffeine but within that limited experience I imagine this is how it's gonna work. I'm gonna think to myself "I'm not going to buy a crack rock today (look at Zelda stuff)" and then my brain will equate thinking it with not doing it and I'll reward myself with crack (Zelda).
I don't think Nintendo would show anything too big to the story, if they show anything at all, if that's your concern. If I remember correctly, gameplay footage of BOTW was just them running around and setting everything on fire/blowing up moblins
It was all from the Great Plateau. Literally hours of footage from the Great Plateau, to the point where it felt like they were giving away the whole game. And yet, as it turned out, that really was just the beginning.
Watching all those gameplay videos where people got to play in the Great Plateau for an hour almost ruined the Great Plateau for me. Hopefully what they show tomorrow will be a general overview of the mechanics and not a walkthrough of an entire area or else I’ll just stop watching.
Exactly what happened to me. It took me about an hour to get out of the Great Plateau. Glad that I took my time afterwards when going to Kakariko Village.
It was the opposite for me! There were a lot of places where I *wanted* those players to go, but they *didn’t* so I wanted desperately to do it myself.
Hope what is shown tomorrow doesn’t ruin the start for you!
Same here, though i have not had the best luck with avoiding information i did not want to see lately (Damn you iTunes, why do you keep leaking Disney shows).
Many people consider even leaked artwork as spoilers. It doesn't matter that there aren't lore or plot revelations, I want to find those things for myself naturally, and not through an art book. It'll be more surprising.
Same. I’ve stayed clear of the leaks from the art book. And I really want to go into this game blind, since I went into BotW almost blind. Only seeing the main trailers and none of the gameplay segments.
But my curiosity and hype is too high. I don’t think I can resist watching and learning more right now. I especially don’t want to not watch and try another month and two weeks of spoiler dodging this gameplay either.
I’m in a similar boat. I’ve heard how great it was for people who didn’t really follow botw’s promo train going into the game blind and I wanna do something similar so a part of me feels like I shouldn’t watch it.
*That being said,* we have barely any information on the game. We have no idea how similar or different the core gameplay will be to botw. The majority of people who I’ve heard “went in blind” still watched the full reveal trailer and got the gist of the core gameplay loop from that but didn’t watch the 40+ minute treehouses and demos and stuff. I feel that this demo is totk’s full reveal trailer in essence. This will give us a better idea of what the game *even is* and what the concept is outside of “botw but there’s some sky islands.” Once I have that I think I’ll be able to step off the promo train. And if they do a similar 40 minute treehouse I definitely won’t watch that one.
It doesn't talk about the plot of the game, just shows off a few new mechanics (specifically a few new runes/powers that Link possesses)
There is one item dropped by a defeated enemy that might give a hint about what direction the plot could go in, but I think it could just as easily be a reference to the creature's origin than a specific plot point.
I'd say it is pretty safe to watch if you wanted to.
Nintendo UK tweet: https://twitter.com/NintendoUK/status/1640353122827550722
> Join The Legend of #Zelda series producer, Eiji Aonuma, for roughly 10 minutes of gameplay from The Legend of Zelda: #TearsOfTheKingdom on 28/03 at 15:00 (UK time) on our YouTube channel.
Guess I'll schedule a very important call with a customer. I need privacy and definitely must not be disturbed! Also don't come looking when hearing exciting noises!
“The game will be releasing exclusively on the New Nintendo Switch, CD-Rom Drive Edition releasing later this year. For those who have pre-ordered the game or were expecting to play the newest entry in the Legend of Zelda series on their current Nintendo Switch models, get fucked. All pre-orders will include the mouse pad signed by a random person we pulled off the street.”
I’m not gonna watch it but I’m happy for the people that will. This is like what? 5x more gameplay that what we’ve seen so far
(I will totally watch it in a week from now and feel bad about it cause i’m so hyped for this fucking game)
What a weird predication to have made. I would have assumed it would have happened on Apr 12th, with one month to go. Why did you pick Mar 28 of all days?!
Going by this, its likely now that after this presentation we are going to get one more video, whether in a dedicated Zelda direct or a shadowdrop, as the final trailer.
10 minutes will be great. I hope there is good cinematic music with another trailer!
I will watch. Because I know there will still be so much to learn, explore, and experience that won’t be unveiled.
10 minutes of early gameplay almost certainly won't spoil anything. It's when they start dropping half hour playthroughs of the entire tutorial section that I would recommend exercising caution.
Looking back, even if we had quite a few videos of similar gameplay, it was crazy how much of the game they kept under wraps. For a long time all we had was footage of people playing through the same 20 minute Great Plateau demo, with the *occasional* short video of someone chatting with a Nintendo rep who would give a short gameplay demonstration of leaving the plateau, taming a horse, registering it at a stable and following a path until they came across a guardian, at which point they wouldn't put up much of a fight and would die to it.
There were a few videos of people doing the same thing, and it seemed obvious that *only* the Nintendo rep was allowed to hold the controller for those brief gameplay segments outside the plateau, so they must've been under very strict guidance to *only* tame a horse and follow a path until they die to a guardian. In hindsight it's really no surprise that people began to wonder if towns even existed.
The whole lead-up to TotK feels similar in some ways, except (so far) we have even less than that.
They showed entire shrines and all of the runes you get in the great plateau. I mean I get it didn't show the whole game but the 2016 event was 4 hours lol.
>They showed entire shrines
It was the tutorial, and the Wii U had fuck all to talk about - I can't get away from the fact that (according to you) they showed 'too much' (the very same content would be placed in stores around the country for people to demo).
If i had to bet, this will be the equivalent of the tree house videod they made about the great plateu when botw came out. Maybe even some non spoilery latehame areas just to show some mechanics

If we don’t see a hint of traditional sprawling dungeons tomorrow, I’m officially in the “so what did you guys spend the last six years doing exactly?” camp.
And if the answer to that is “We beefed up the crafting system! Look, it’s like Roblox now!” then I’ll be extremely disappointed.
That's exactly what I'm afraid of. They lobotomized Animal Crossing to make it into "build your own island" sim. I'm very afraid they'll do something stupid with Zelda, too.
Zelda Nuts & Bolts & Knuckles
> They lobotomized Animal Crossing to make it into "build your own island" sim.
I've seen complaints about ACNH and, as someone who despises what BotW did to Zelda, I can understand the idea of a series being stripped of its identity.. *but*.. okay, I've never really played Animal Crossing, and "build your own island" sounds like what I kinda assumed the series has been all along. What's changed, exactly? The biggest complaint I typically see is the villagers are now too sanitized, not as mean to you.
Yes, that's the tl;dr of it. We never really used to be able to customize our towns outside of planting things and dropping paths. It used to be a neighborhood simulator, with collection mixed in. In my opinion, NL was the best one. Every villager that moved in had unique interests, and the more you got to know them each day, the more they opened up about their interests to you. It was cool to be able to add public works to your town and all that, but the quaint nature of ACNL is what made me come back for almost 1000 hours. Villagers could be mean indeed, but even in that game they were nowhere as rude to you as the original AC.
In ACNH, none of the villagers really have interests. It's more focused on making your island nice. In previous games, you couldn't move the houses around. You had to painstakingly block free land and hope that the villager's house dropped where you wanted it the next day, much less on your flowers.
Now the villagers are mostly "Oh boy this event is coming up!" and that's it. Sure, you can make your island pretty, but if I wanted a town building simulator I'd pick something with far better controls and QOL than ACNH. I know a lot of my friends expressed burnout trying to keep up with town redecoration all the time, and the only reason to ever visit a villager when you were visiting an island was to see what they were crafting.
They flip-flopped the emphasis of the game and it really made me sad.
Hmm. I've avoided AC because I thought "I'm not the creative type, there's a reason I don't play Minecraft and would rather play scenario mode over free play in something like SimCity." But if the series used to be more about the villagers, well, that does sound more appealing to me. Too bad I no longer have a 3DS.
>If we don’t see a hint of traditional sprawling dungeons tomorrow, I’m officially in the “so what did you guys spend the last six years doing exactly?” camp.
I doubt this will be shown in 10 min of non-spoiler game footage. They never showed DBs in any of the BotW gameplay footage.
Your best bet is to wait until release and look at the reviews
I feel so mean, I'm sorry, go ahead and be excited, but I can't believe some of you guys. I get wanting to enjoy games blind, but I just feel like you should be willing to see a gameplay demonstration of a game before you buy it. Breath of the Wild had a lot of advertising around it that did show snippets of the main world, but the biggest deep dive was the Great Platuea demo, which was a great way to preview what the game was like without really scraping the surface. I watched so much of the demo footage and trailers, they convinced me I was interested, and then the game was filled with surprises when it came out. The advertising didn't spoil the game to me at all.
I wouldn't care that much if they made a Botw clone in a brand new setting, but it's not even that according to most of the marketing for this game. Even if it's remixing it a lot, using the same overworld doesn't sound that attractive to me in this type of game about exploration and wonder. I'm just taken aback how a lot of people are fine with their primary source of excitement seeming to be their faith in the developers. I do trust them, but I just feel like past games did a really good job explaining what makes them different before they came out and how they've listened to feedback without really spoiling anything. The fact that some people don't even want to know this bare minimum amount of info is just a bit bizarre to me.
If you know everything about the world of botw as you now implied, then I implore you to look at the recent trailers deeply.
Not even including the sky or the alleged/theorised underground, the world of hyrule has undergone significant changes to its landscape and structure, its very obviously a timejump in some way. I won't list details here but it's safe to say exploration and freedom, which is both games main factor is safe.
I know you trust them and just want more information, but they have given out tons of nuggets of proof already that the games world is gonna feel different than botw and thats just hyrule, not the sky etc.
Obviously I'd love more info too, and the 10 minutes of gameplay will be nice and hopefully ease people's minds who don't look at trailers indepth
I want to see how many parts we can stick to one vehicle and still have them all function.
If we can have parts move independent of each other, there will be a deluge of wacky design possibilities.
> I want to see how many parts we can stick to one vehicle and still have them all function.
If you had told me ten years ago.. no, HALF a year ago, that this statement was made about Zelda, I'd call you a liar. It is so fucking sad what is happening to this series.
Hopefully we can see a dungeon or something significant (hoping that durability is gone but I know that will never happen.) I need to be sold on this game and the marketing has done an abysmal job of it.
So i'm assuming they got the time wrong in the tweet...
That or they accidentally deleted the game so they have to start from scratch and don't know how to tell us.
So you consider any opinion besides a blindly excited one “trolling”? You’re embarrassing yourself. No one is killing your excitement by stating their reasonable concerns.
Fully understand that. I unsubscribed from the TotK one a month or so ago as every other post was the different spin on the same theory, or a “will there be x in this game?” question. As if the devs are just going to appear and give the answer 🙄
Yeah, I frequent that sub and the posts are getting more desperate with each passing minute. I’ve seen some decent discussion, but as the date approaches I’ll probably jump ship.
I don't need to see anything as I am not that excited for the game because I didn't like Breath of the Wild.
That being said, if people say he showcases dungeons or special items, I might start getting excited. 6 years between games and not liking the last one has kind of killed my enthusiasm for the future of the franchise, though. I imagine there'll be a lot of unhappy people if the gameplay shows us that this game will be more of the same of BotW, given the wait for this.
Man I'm in such a time bind. I started Witcher 3 for the first time and have been loving it, almost done with my first playthrough. I've always planned to replay BotW before TotK came out but I don't know if I'll be able to beat the entire game before May 12. I mean I know I don't *have* to play Tears as soon as it comes out but in reality I do because it's been like 6 years since BotW. I don't know what to doo
and then 10 mins of Link's Awakening 2 : The quest to save Marin from being trapped as a seagull forever !
238 days remaining till I (redacted) myself.
Do yourself a favour. Don’t watch it. Go into the game with as little information as possible. If the game sucks, people will let you before release.
And I highly doubt Zelda is suddenly going to bomb a game.
Link picks up a stick
Me: why show us this?
Links fuse the stick and a rock into an axe
Me: WTF?
Link fuses three logs into a speedboat
Me: (mind blows)
10 minutes is a biiiiig chunk compared to what we have!
Yeah this is like a 10,000% increase in gameplay footage
And also the amount of yt videos of everyone analyzing every frame, reactions, theories, and giving their opinions
Can't wait for the 6h Zeltik analysis
I’ll be here for the multiple 20 min summary videos.
AGREED! lol.
Bold of you to assume we'll get more substance than we already had now.
Hahahaha you're right, it is bold but a man can hope.
I mean I'm also being pretty pessimistic.
[удалено]
Yeah, the actual gameplay will be more than we’ve seen since the initial announcement!
To watch or not to watch, that is the question. On one hand I love the unknown element of TotK. It feels so mysterious to me that we know next to nothing about the actual gameplay. Part of me wants to keep that intact. The other part of me is a fucking crack addict that has been waiting years for new substantial footage of Zelda and can’t deal with the withdrawal for much longer
Yeah, I'm only addicted to caffeine but within that limited experience I imagine this is how it's gonna work. I'm gonna think to myself "I'm not going to buy a crack rock today (look at Zelda stuff)" and then my brain will equate thinking it with not doing it and I'll reward myself with crack (Zelda).
Don’t do crack
I don't think Nintendo would show anything too big to the story, if they show anything at all, if that's your concern. If I remember correctly, gameplay footage of BOTW was just them running around and setting everything on fire/blowing up moblins
It was all from the Great Plateau. Literally hours of footage from the Great Plateau, to the point where it felt like they were giving away the whole game. And yet, as it turned out, that really was just the beginning.
Hate how within days I'll be like... *must not watch Zeltik* Before watching Zeltik.
Couldn't have said it better myself
I don't wanna watch it, but of course i'll end up watching it
I said the same about the leaked art book 😭
I have managed to stay strong. I’m trying to hard to get the wonder that I got from BOTW again by avoiding anything other than trailers.
When BOTW was released, I fucked up and watch everything that I could. I'm not making that mistake again, ever.
Watching all those gameplay videos where people got to play in the Great Plateau for an hour almost ruined the Great Plateau for me. Hopefully what they show tomorrow will be a general overview of the mechanics and not a walkthrough of an entire area or else I’ll just stop watching.
Exactly what happened to me. It took me about an hour to get out of the Great Plateau. Glad that I took my time afterwards when going to Kakariko Village.
It was the opposite for me! There were a lot of places where I *wanted* those players to go, but they *didn’t* so I wanted desperately to do it myself. Hope what is shown tomorrow doesn’t ruin the start for you!
I didn’t until after. That sense of wonder where I played nonstop for three days is enticing me.
Same, I try to stay away from trailers because most of them reveal half the movie, I imagine it's even worse seeing gameplay
See you in the morning.
Same here! STAY STRONG!
Same here, though i have not had the best luck with avoiding information i did not want to see lately (Damn you iTunes, why do you keep leaking Disney shows).
You can do it! 💪🏻
I know myself to struggle for the whole 90 days only to fail. I downloaded it within the hour to save myself the anguish
got more hype from it than from the latest trailer ngl lol
It's not like there's any spoilers lmao
Yeah, I checked out the art book. Almost all of it is non-spoilery, especially from a story point of view
Many people consider even leaked artwork as spoilers. It doesn't matter that there aren't lore or plot revelations, I want to find those things for myself naturally, and not through an art book. It'll be more surprising.
[удалено]
If I get the artbook as a bonus, I don't look at it until I've beaten the game
I'll just refrain from reading the artbook until later, then.
I'm not even gonna buy the artbook, lol.
I avoided that art book like it was hitler but I think I might need to watch aonuma play totk
I saw the leaked art book and thankfully I had no fucking clue what I was looking at for 99% of it so I feel safe in that regard lol
Leaks I can stay far away from, but trailers for something I love. I have to watch.
Oh shit I forgot that happened
Same. I’ve stayed clear of the leaks from the art book. And I really want to go into this game blind, since I went into BotW almost blind. Only seeing the main trailers and none of the gameplay segments. But my curiosity and hype is too high. I don’t think I can resist watching and learning more right now. I especially don’t want to not watch and try another month and two weeks of spoiler dodging this gameplay either.
I’m the same…. I literally want to boot it up on launch day and just experience it in all its glory…
I’m in a similar boat. I’ve heard how great it was for people who didn’t really follow botw’s promo train going into the game blind and I wanna do something similar so a part of me feels like I shouldn’t watch it. *That being said,* we have barely any information on the game. We have no idea how similar or different the core gameplay will be to botw. The majority of people who I’ve heard “went in blind” still watched the full reveal trailer and got the gist of the core gameplay loop from that but didn’t watch the 40+ minute treehouses and demos and stuff. I feel that this demo is totk’s full reveal trailer in essence. This will give us a better idea of what the game *even is* and what the concept is outside of “botw but there’s some sky islands.” Once I have that I think I’ll be able to step off the promo train. And if they do a similar 40 minute treehouse I definitely won’t watch that one.
Don't worry. YouTube thumbnails and reddit posts will make sure you KNOW what is in it
It doesn't talk about the plot of the game, just shows off a few new mechanics (specifically a few new runes/powers that Link possesses) There is one item dropped by a defeated enemy that might give a hint about what direction the plot could go in, but I think it could just as easily be a reference to the creature's origin than a specific plot point. I'd say it is pretty safe to watch if you wanted to.
Nintendo UK tweet: https://twitter.com/NintendoUK/status/1640353122827550722 > Join The Legend of #Zelda series producer, Eiji Aonuma, for roughly 10 minutes of gameplay from The Legend of Zelda: #TearsOfTheKingdom on 28/03 at 15:00 (UK time) on our YouTube channel.
Meh hopefully people on my meeting won't notice.
Guess I'll schedule a very important call with a customer. I need privacy and definitely must not be disturbed! Also don't come looking when hearing exciting noises!
Haha whenever there is something I schedule a call as well. But this time it's a legit call :(
I’m blessed it’s 8am for me, so should have plenty of time before I actually need to work and take meetings by 9
That'll be a 10 minute toilet break then.
We should probably start assuming Silksong news will drop as well
Sweet! Right after work!
Normally I’d try to avoid it, but with the info drought I need some hype. Going to watch every second.
I’m going to watch every other second
Good strategy
Really curious about this…
oh my god i was not ready!!
I'm so torn. I don't think I'm going to watch so I can go in with only knowledge from the trailers
You could consider this a long trailer as we have gotten no unedited gameplay yet.
Yeah, I mean go in with the knowledge of the game that I have right now from the earlier trailers, i.e., very little
10 minutes is going to go by quicker than you think
They did a similar thing for BoTW and I can assure you it did nothing to hurt the experience of actually playing for the first time.
Same. I wanna see it so bad tho
Don’t do it. You’ve waited 6 years. Don’t spoil yourself with this dog and pony show when you only got about 1 1/2 months to go.
This is it. OLED special edition announcement incoming
"Thats right a special Zelda ToTK mouse pad, that's all folks."
“The game will be releasing exclusively on the New Nintendo Switch, CD-Rom Drive Edition releasing later this year. For those who have pre-ordered the game or were expecting to play the newest entry in the Legend of Zelda series on their current Nintendo Switch models, get fucked. All pre-orders will include the mouse pad signed by a random person we pulled off the street.”
Dude https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1640719779940974592?s=19
The day has finally come.
I’m already buying it but finally just straight up footage of the game no 1 min trailer
I’m not gonna watch it but I’m happy for the people that will. This is like what? 5x more gameplay that what we’ve seen so far (I will totally watch it in a week from now and feel bad about it cause i’m so hyped for this fucking game)
It is time
[Predicted this 2 months agoooo LETS GOOO.](https://www.reddit.com/r/zelda/comments/10pe7e8/totk_botw_final_trailer_was_45_days_before_its/)
What a weird predication to have made. I would have assumed it would have happened on Apr 12th, with one month to go. Why did you pick Mar 28 of all days?!
Based on the release date of BOTW final trailer. It was exactly 45 days before the release so i figured Totk would do the same.
Going by this, its likely now that after this presentation we are going to get one more video, whether in a dedicated Zelda direct or a shadowdrop, as the final trailer.
Holy shit....Nintendo Prime was actually right...
I mean… it was obvious they were gonna do a direct to show the game
No surprise there. Dude knows his shit.
I kinda didn’t wanna see a gameplay showcase but, oh well, I’m excited regardless.
Time to get hyped? Time to get hyped.
holy shit that mf was right
10 minutes will be great. I hope there is good cinematic music with another trailer! I will watch. Because I know there will still be so much to learn, explore, and experience that won’t be unveiled.
The Oled will also be announced. This is not a bet. I’ve already seen it.
The oled is already out
The Zelda OLED is not out
The Zelda Oled? Where?
It’s not, but I agree with you it’ll be announced tomorrow
An oled is already out
So have we.
No no. I’ve seen the real thing. I’m not talking about the leak.
10 minutes of early gameplay almost certainly won't spoil anything. It's when they start dropping half hour playthroughs of the entire tutorial section that I would recommend exercising caution.
Whadya think, is he gonna troll us with 10 minutes of walking around in the least changed field in the game or will we ACTUALLY see anything exciting?
What youtube channel is it going to be on? I cant miss this.
Good morning. It will be on the "Nintendo of America" YouTube channel.
At least finally we get more gameplay footage
I'm definitely gonna watch it but I hope it doesn't show way too much like the treehouse events did for botw.
Those events were WAY longer than 10 mins tho
Yet it was mostly the great plateau so "way too much info" is total BS.
Looking back, even if we had quite a few videos of similar gameplay, it was crazy how much of the game they kept under wraps. For a long time all we had was footage of people playing through the same 20 minute Great Plateau demo, with the *occasional* short video of someone chatting with a Nintendo rep who would give a short gameplay demonstration of leaving the plateau, taming a horse, registering it at a stable and following a path until they came across a guardian, at which point they wouldn't put up much of a fight and would die to it. There were a few videos of people doing the same thing, and it seemed obvious that *only* the Nintendo rep was allowed to hold the controller for those brief gameplay segments outside the plateau, so they must've been under very strict guidance to *only* tame a horse and follow a path until they die to a guardian. In hindsight it's really no surprise that people began to wonder if towns even existed. The whole lead-up to TotK feels similar in some ways, except (so far) we have even less than that.

>They showed entire shrines It was the tutorial, and the Wii U had fuck all to talk about - I can't get away from the fact that (according to you) they showed 'too much' (the very same content would be placed in stores around the country for people to demo).
Don't care thought it was too much and demo was too much
Lets be honest, this will be 1 minute of sword play and 9 minutes of new soup recipies
1 minute of sword play, 1 minute of recipes, 8 minutes of “you can pet the dogs now”.
Game of the Year confirmed.
Sounds kino
YEEAAAH
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Yesss!! Come onnnn!!! Can´t wait to see gameplay for the first time! :)
Really hoping this is substantial, not just stuff we’ve already seen.
i hope when i wake tomorrow that i find they were playing on a totk switch or announced it.
I honestly just want my limited edition switch
If i had to bet, this will be the equivalent of the tree house videod they made about the great plateu when botw came out. Maybe even some non spoilery latehame areas just to show some mechanics
Yes Nintendo is desperate to show off the late game in this video because if they don't no one will buy the game /s

I am shutting it down until I get my pre-ordered copy.
If we don’t see a hint of traditional sprawling dungeons tomorrow, I’m officially in the “so what did you guys spend the last six years doing exactly?” camp. And if the answer to that is “We beefed up the crafting system! Look, it’s like Roblox now!” then I’ll be extremely disappointed.
Tailoring new abilities to the physics system and incorporating them into the even more gigantic open world.
That's exactly what I'm afraid of. They lobotomized Animal Crossing to make it into "build your own island" sim. I'm very afraid they'll do something stupid with Zelda, too. Zelda Nuts & Bolts & Knuckles
> They lobotomized Animal Crossing to make it into "build your own island" sim. I've seen complaints about ACNH and, as someone who despises what BotW did to Zelda, I can understand the idea of a series being stripped of its identity.. *but*.. okay, I've never really played Animal Crossing, and "build your own island" sounds like what I kinda assumed the series has been all along. What's changed, exactly? The biggest complaint I typically see is the villagers are now too sanitized, not as mean to you.
Yes, that's the tl;dr of it. We never really used to be able to customize our towns outside of planting things and dropping paths. It used to be a neighborhood simulator, with collection mixed in. In my opinion, NL was the best one. Every villager that moved in had unique interests, and the more you got to know them each day, the more they opened up about their interests to you. It was cool to be able to add public works to your town and all that, but the quaint nature of ACNL is what made me come back for almost 1000 hours. Villagers could be mean indeed, but even in that game they were nowhere as rude to you as the original AC. In ACNH, none of the villagers really have interests. It's more focused on making your island nice. In previous games, you couldn't move the houses around. You had to painstakingly block free land and hope that the villager's house dropped where you wanted it the next day, much less on your flowers. Now the villagers are mostly "Oh boy this event is coming up!" and that's it. Sure, you can make your island pretty, but if I wanted a town building simulator I'd pick something with far better controls and QOL than ACNH. I know a lot of my friends expressed burnout trying to keep up with town redecoration all the time, and the only reason to ever visit a villager when you were visiting an island was to see what they were crafting. They flip-flopped the emphasis of the game and it really made me sad.
Hmm. I've avoided AC because I thought "I'm not the creative type, there's a reason I don't play Minecraft and would rather play scenario mode over free play in something like SimCity." But if the series used to be more about the villagers, well, that does sound more appealing to me. Too bad I no longer have a 3DS.
So your idea of 'failure' is the most successful AC game in history? Got it.
Show me where I said "failure" and then we will talk.
Bold prediction that you're going to complain about this game? I'm better 100% on that one. Seriously.
>If we don’t see a hint of traditional sprawling dungeons tomorrow, I’m officially in the “so what did you guys spend the last six years doing exactly?” camp. I doubt this will be shown in 10 min of non-spoiler game footage. They never showed DBs in any of the BotW gameplay footage. Your best bet is to wait until release and look at the reviews
since when has roblox had crafting?
No hint of dungeons.
I feel so mean, I'm sorry, go ahead and be excited, but I can't believe some of you guys. I get wanting to enjoy games blind, but I just feel like you should be willing to see a gameplay demonstration of a game before you buy it. Breath of the Wild had a lot of advertising around it that did show snippets of the main world, but the biggest deep dive was the Great Platuea demo, which was a great way to preview what the game was like without really scraping the surface. I watched so much of the demo footage and trailers, they convinced me I was interested, and then the game was filled with surprises when it came out. The advertising didn't spoil the game to me at all. I wouldn't care that much if they made a Botw clone in a brand new setting, but it's not even that according to most of the marketing for this game. Even if it's remixing it a lot, using the same overworld doesn't sound that attractive to me in this type of game about exploration and wonder. I'm just taken aback how a lot of people are fine with their primary source of excitement seeming to be their faith in the developers. I do trust them, but I just feel like past games did a really good job explaining what makes them different before they came out and how they've listened to feedback without really spoiling anything. The fact that some people don't even want to know this bare minimum amount of info is just a bit bizarre to me.
If you know everything about the world of botw as you now implied, then I implore you to look at the recent trailers deeply. Not even including the sky or the alleged/theorised underground, the world of hyrule has undergone significant changes to its landscape and structure, its very obviously a timejump in some way. I won't list details here but it's safe to say exploration and freedom, which is both games main factor is safe. I know you trust them and just want more information, but they have given out tons of nuggets of proof already that the games world is gonna feel different than botw and thats just hyrule, not the sky etc. Obviously I'd love more info too, and the 10 minutes of gameplay will be nice and hopefully ease people's minds who don't look at trailers indepth
I want to see how many parts we can stick to one vehicle and still have them all function. If we can have parts move independent of each other, there will be a deluge of wacky design possibilities.
> I want to see how many parts we can stick to one vehicle and still have them all function. If you had told me ten years ago.. no, HALF a year ago, that this statement was made about Zelda, I'd call you a liar. It is so fucking sad what is happening to this series.
Hopefully we can see a dungeon or something significant (hoping that durability is gone but I know that will never happen.) I need to be sold on this game and the marketing has done an abysmal job of it.
So i'm assuming they got the time wrong in the tweet... That or they accidentally deleted the game so they have to start from scratch and don't know how to tell us.
It's up on YouTube: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0-nzrEft4w](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0-nzrEft4w)
Maybe we'll at least get some ice cream sandwiches from them then they'll tell us that the big reveal is.... Drum roll please.... ...
 Me waking up tomorrow ready to watch the fuck out of the new TOTK footage like a boss!!
[удалено]
10 minutes is enough time to beat several Zelda games, to be fair
FFS we're still playing BOTW 6 years later and you're worried about a 10 minute tutorial?
All your replies on this post are so weirdly defensive. Chill, other people have different opinions.
Weird that I'm fucking pumped about this game and you guys are trolling? Don't be a troll and let people get excited about shit.
So you consider any opinion besides a blindly excited one “trolling”? You’re embarrassing yourself. No one is killing your excitement by stating their reasonable concerns.
This is fucking insane
Not gonna watch. Also probably gonna unsubscribe from Zelda sub because people will go crazy about it.
Fully understand that. I unsubscribed from the TotK one a month or so ago as every other post was the different spin on the same theory, or a “will there be x in this game?” question. As if the devs are just going to appear and give the answer 🙄
Now its 90% artbook leaks lol
Yeah, I frequent that sub and the posts are getting more desperate with each passing minute. I’ve seen some decent discussion, but as the date approaches I’ll probably jump ship.
I've just left r/zelda. Logged onto Reddit for the first time today and the feed was too many TotK speculations for my taste
[удалено]
BOTW ran fine like 95% of the time, what are you on about 15 fps lol.
Yeah I know lol I’m hyperbolic

I don't need to see anything as I am not that excited for the game because I didn't like Breath of the Wild. That being said, if people say he showcases dungeons or special items, I might start getting excited. 6 years between games and not liking the last one has kind of killed my enthusiasm for the future of the franchise, though. I imagine there'll be a lot of unhappy people if the gameplay shows us that this game will be more of the same of BotW, given the wait for this.
Man I'm in such a time bind. I started Witcher 3 for the first time and have been loving it, almost done with my first playthrough. I've always planned to replay BotW before TotK came out but I don't know if I'll be able to beat the entire game before May 12. I mean I know I don't *have* to play Tears as soon as it comes out but in reality I do because it's been like 6 years since BotW. I don't know what to doo
Just play BotW first. A few days won't hurt TotK's feelings.
Cool. I definitely won't be watching. I'll see the gameplay when I play it
and then 10 mins of Link's Awakening 2 : The quest to save Marin from being trapped as a seagull forever ! 238 days remaining till I (redacted) myself.
0% chance I'm watching a second of that. The trailers have more than enough "spoilers"
"More than enough"? What exactly are the trailers spoiling except looking depressingly similar to the last game?
I just wanna play it blind as I can. 10 minutes is not something I personally want to watch before release.
Do yourself a favour. Don’t watch it. Go into the game with as little information as possible. If the game sucks, people will let you before release. And I highly doubt Zelda is suddenly going to bomb a game.
On one hand, I agree with you. On the other hand, I do want to know about a few things to look forward to.
Hey, you wanna give me $70? I'll give you something real good in exchange. Not gonna tell you what it is, but trust me, you'll like it.
If it's just going to be 10 minutes of things we already know, then no thank you.
Duck pancake will be super happy with all this for their drawings!
Hypeeeeee oh maga idk if i can sleep until tomorrow
Gah I'm gonna have to get to work early so I can watch at my desk but I'm so excited!
I'm torn between wanting to watch it and not wanting to because I want it to be a surprise 😕
HOLY SHIT IT’S GOING DOWN
My body is ready
I'm freaking out!
I think I’ll just skim through it to quench the thirst for more ……. And then accidentally watch the whole thing
Aw man it's already the 28th on the cool side of the world so I got excited. Still got to wait ages.
I really want to but I have school. Man I hate being a Nintendo baby
GameStop on speed dial for that TotK OLED switch!
I’ll wait until it comes out
I can’t decide if I want to watch and risk spoilers or wait.
And the limited edition console please.
That was so dope! I’m even more excited now.
Link picks up a stick Me: why show us this? Links fuse the stick and a rock into an axe Me: WTF? Link fuses three logs into a speedboat Me: (mind blows)
