so you play as a girl this time?

Dudebro903607d ago

And you came to that conclusion....how?

-Foxtrot3607d ago

You have to admit Link looks really feminine in this one.

Either Link is female this time and Zelda is male or they've switched the roles around and Link became the Price of Hyrule and Zelda is the girl to defeat the evil and save the land.

mydyingparadiselost3607d ago

I was actually hoping for that, you play as Zelda and save Prince Link. It would be a rather surprising twist to the Zelda formula. I was disappointed but the game looks AMAZING!

Zeppelino3607d ago

I don't think that's Link. I don't even think that is the main character, the horse doesn´t even have white "hair" as epona has.

Just a thought

ritsuka6663607d ago

You know Link is a MAN ,right? A androgenous man but still.

I love the open world aspect too. Link between worlds let you do the temples in any order you want with the ability to rent weapons you haven't unlocked yet. It was really cool and obviously what they are going to do for this game. Can't wait!

Number-Nine3607d ago

The environment loomed amazing. Open world sounds like it could work great. The cel shaded look of link is a turnoff. Was hoping for something like the original tech demo.

Rogert3607d ago

So you were hoping for something that was gray and gritty instead of a vibrant world full of expression?

Number-Nine3607d ago

you can have a realistic link in a vibrant world

DarkLord10033607d ago

The landscape looks beautiful. But I don't like how Link looks. I want a more realistic approach. Like the Tech demo at the Wii U reveal..

IIZANGETSUII3607d ago

Yeah me too, i wanted that look so badly, i guess we'll have to wait until a new next gen system.

Theyellowflash303607d ago

That tech demo was based off Twilight Princess. This new look is freaking amazing

-Foxtrot3607d ago (Edited 3607d ago )

I doubt they could of made a game as open looking as this one with the realistic style in the tech demo

Maybe it's easier for them to do it this way.

InTheLab3607d ago

Yeah. I wanted that too but I'm sure there had to be trade offs due to the limitations of the hardware. Love the art style but was hoping for a bit of realism this time. That would truly be unique for Zelda.

jhoward5853607d ago (Edited 3607d ago )

The new link look better to me b/c the new link character model would work better with Zelda U lighting system. The old link looks great too but the new look has a more cartoony look which made his facial impressions more visual/clear to see. Seems to me Nintendo are taking wind waker's visual to another level.

Honestly I really changed my mind on Fi with the remaster because they didn't make her interrupt your gameplay every 5 seconds, that drastically changed my views on her

Inverno79d ago

Technically she's in ToTK but obviously can't take any other form than the sword she was made into. Also the companion feature has been done plenty of times in Zelda, I don't think it'll add anything new. If anything should be brought back it should be the Minish.

Directionless Modern Zelda Should Return to its 3D Roots

Matt from We Game Daily writes "The Legend of Zelda series has gone in a different direction. One which, try as I have, I just can’t get on board with. Here is why I think Zelda should return to its 3D roots."

Amen! A good, tight, Zelda game with a focus on dungeons and puzzles. Let people have the new style Zelda if you gotta, but let us have the OoT style games too. That's not without precedent either, the handheld 2D Zelda's in the style of A Link to the Past etc have coexisted alongside the 3D Zelda's before

FinalFantasyFanatic110d ago

As much as I like BoTW, TotK, I need my traditional Zelda games as well, I could not endlessly play the open world Zelda games, plus it's harder to keep those fresher than the traditional games.

Eidolon109d ago (Edited 109d ago )

BotW was just as fresh to the franchise as OoT was. TokT was great but the next LoZ would have to move from that formula to be fresh again. There's only so much they can do with the hardware. I think they focused too much on making the world big instead impactful. I felt the world was sort of empty and repetitive in TotK, sure there was a lot to do but no more difference a Ubisoft game..

anast109d ago

I wouldn't worry too much. Nintendo knows what they are doing.

Ristul109d ago

Wind Waker had a perfect balance of open world and a cool, well hand-crafted design. Maybe try to keep the open world but put in effort to make more memorable story driven quests and locations.

Zelda Fan Brings Godzilla to Life in Tears of the Kingdom

A fan of The Legend of Zelda has recreated the iconic Japanese monster Godzilla in Tears of the Kingdom using the game's Zonai devices.

Knightofelemia147d ago

I like it would also be cool if some created Dragon Caesar in the game I would love to watch the two going at it.
