The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (May 12, 2023)

[spliz]

And I’ve had the same response when people express the same criticism about other games. People have been whining about how long cross-gen have gone on, and how games aren’t blowing them away, and yada yada…

And I’ve always said, this is the effects of the pandemic everything got pushed up and delayed at LEAST a year. No one would be mad if zelda came out in the beginning of last year or late 2021.

Bruh this shyt looks exactly the same as the last one. Even down to the area they are in. I honestly feel like they put themselves in a box by making BOTW so free for all.

incoming rant from @Dre Space Age in 3...2....1...

Well in that rant I hope there's a coherent answer.
I want a new "Ocarina of Time".
Not a game where everything that made Zelda...Zelda, is thrown out the window for clips of people bragging about cartwheeling over a branch while throwing a bomb, freezing the bomb in the air, backflipping over a lion, shooting an arrow through 20 blades of grass, opening the item menu, eating a pineapple, cooking a stew, before link actually touches the ground. Talking about "You see!!! Tell me what other game you can do something like THAT in!!! Tell me!!!".
So..........we getting actual dungeons, actual key items, and a story orrrrrrrrrrrr?

I mean we’ve barely seen anything. They only demonstrated the new mechanics and maybe thats on Nintendo but im sure there will be a lot of new stuff to see

Also: I saw the leaks

This game is about to open with a 3 minute cutscene and drop you in that same exact open world without any context.
Game of the year in 5...4...

I don't need more mechanics!
I need more "movie" in my games!

Probably not. The dumbest shyt they could've done was let u have the ability to travel all the way to the end of the game at the beginning. It ruins the ability to tell a compelling and progressive story. And since u were capable of that in the first one. Of course they gonna do the same shyt for the sequel. I'm prolly just gonna skip this shyt all together. It ain't my type of Zelda game. I will just wait for the next Zelda series.

Story stans

Is it going to have an actual story, dungeons, bosses, and items you find in each dungeon to get to the next dungeon, or is it going to be another enormous empty world with a bunch of cute youtube clips of backflips into time freezes that launch trees into space type of game?
Serious question despite being asked sarcastically.

There are answers to some of your questions in the leaked artbook. Really surprised no ones talking about it in the thread again. The dungeons copy the style of Zelda 1 by being designed like shapes. There also dungeon keys. The even put artwork of what the dungeon keys look like in the artbook.

Spoiler: Dungeons

Check out this artbook analysis. He does a good job explaining whats going on without actually spoiling the images. Well, he blurred and cropped them. I've seen the artbook so I can tell he tried his best to leave room for the imagination in his censoring.

Maaaaannnnnnnn.
If they have actual dungeons....not basic shrines and then big shrines....actual dungeons...I'll be all over this.

All of this is allowed because it's Nintendo... Just like how they are able to charge full price for ultra low effort remakes. The gap between the releases of Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West is about the same and you can see that Forbidden West looks notably better than Zero Dawn



Nintendo is literally reusing the same map from the original and the graphics don't look much better. Even sounds like they recycled the same sound effects as well.

Story stans

I want the game to be corridors with cutscenes every 10 minutes getting into Link's past with his mother and Zelda. I want slow walking sections and no camera cuts. Give me a "Press A to awesome" QTE's occasionally and let the lil fairy nikka tell me "Listen!, the door needs to be pulled up!"
