More gameplay footage for Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

EDIT YOUTUBE VERSION FOUND:


Gameplay wise I know its gonna be great, but goddamn I just can't get over the once again cel-shaded graphics everything just looks to bland. And the cartoonish monsters especially those "Goblins" Link was fighting just looks increadibly un-intimidating.

Just give me back that Ocarina of Time art style thank you. Yoshiaki Koizumi Yusuke Nakano nailed the "look" of Zelda perfectly in my eyes:

I like the general art style, but holy crap some of those textures look like they're from an early Gamecube game. Might be updated before the release but stil.... yikes.

Edit. I am a little concerned. While it does look good. I'm worried that the open world style with all the verticality and climbing might take away from some of sense of progression. You know how it is in LoZ, some areas are blocked off and can't be accessed until you get the specific upgrade then you can go back and explore new things you couldn't before and unlock rewards that you may never have gotten. This might not happen but I am concerned.
Also worried they are focusing a bit more on the action.... OK STOP! I know this has always been an action series but what they've shown is just pure action so far. Could be the marketing but so far I've gotten no sense of exploration and puzzles (which they could just be trying to avoid spoiling)

On a positive note, it seems they are making switching through different options/ upgrades much easier. FINALLY!

And it runs buttery smooth. Unlike alot of console games coming out these days.

Looks pretty good, BUT is this just going to be open-world with enemy placements, or is there going to be a bit more to it? Because what I've seen of it thus far makes it look like just another generic open-world game, but in Zelda style.

Are there going to be towns, are there going to be characters to interact with; Is the world going to feel alive as opposed to feeling like a sandbox?

And are the dungeons simply going to consist of these ancient, grey underground caverns, or is there going to be a bit more variety to them?

It looks beautiful, that's for sure.

The combat even looks pretty interesting. But the world looks empty as hell. Gonna be interesting to see what comes of this game.

Snip.

Just done some research and you're right. I still maintaining concern for this game but god knows I'm getting it anyway.

I think the art is beautiful.

And I like how the gameplay is so imaginative.
Use fire arrows to create an up draft? check.
Use environment to create projectiles? check.
There seems to be a lot of paths you can take gameplay wise, it just depends on the context you are in. Which is really cool.

The one thing that seems bland is the puzzles. They have been really unimpressive. I want to see big dungeons like in previous Zeldas. I know they are probably only showing the small shrines, but give a hint of a cool dungeon.
And plus, with the new gameplay, having a dungeon set in an ice cave or a volcano, could lead to some creative thinking!

I am most likely going to like this a lot!
Been looking at quite a lot gameplay videos from Nintendos' treehouse event(s).

Looks another Bloodborn situation. Meaning the game looks good but since it's a console exclusive (Wii U) I won't be getting it. No point spending all that money for one game.

Use fire arrows to create an up draft?

At what point in the video was this? Cause I can't seem to find it.

 

[Fox12]

The game looks gorgeous from an art style perspective. I loved Wind Waker.

I'm not sure about the open world, though. I'm sick of large, bland open world games. Every enemy encounter they've shown looked like generic enemy placements. The kind you'd see in Skyrim. I really hope the end game doesn't look this barren in the final product.

100% understand that, I'm not gonna get xbox one just for Halo. But why are you surprised that a Legend Of Zelda game is Nintendo exclusive?

I'm not surprised. Just stating my position.

When he is floating, he shoots an arrow, then immediately goes back to floating.

Also, what the other poster said.
