True. That said, my biggest worry was that they'd use overmuch of that same Hyrule. The sky stuff looks satisfyingly different.

No idea how they'll make it all run smoothly on Switch though. Poor little machine.

I'm excited for Star Fox Loftwing.

Since BotW is meant to be this convergence of all possible Zelda timelines I would have gone in literally the opposite direction and have them dig down into archaeological remnants of previous Zelda ideas.

If they're doing an upgraded model, gotta be a big possibility it's the title that launches it.

We’ve seen so little of this it’s hard to get excited, the date and title reveal should have been attached to a bigger, more epic trailer. Bit of an anticlimax seeing as this is all we will see of it this year :lol:

After the first trailer I thought this was what it was going to be, the first trailer was brilliant too. Everything since has looked decidedly iffy to me. With over 6 years Dev time and how little they're showing it seems clear that they're holding something big back and maybe that is underground stuff.

There's a lot of Zonai iconography in what they've shown so I think they'll play a big role too.

It's kinda crazy how little they've managed to show over what, 3 trailers?

We had the 2019 reveal, we had the delay trailer earlier this year and now today’s one? Probably less than 5 minutes actual gameplay footage

Did we really go 2 years without seeing nothing else of this between reveal and the delay trailer?

The trailers for Breath of the Wild weren’t much better were they?

My only hope for this one is a properly narrated story rather than wondering what's going on and having to find memories. Oh, and some actual life to Hyrule. I get it suited BOTW to be mostly devoid of settlement, but with such a large world, it didn't feel like there was much to explore compared to something like Skyrim's over world.

The time this has been in development affords Nintendo no excuse. This needs to have an absolute gooseberry fool ton of quests and side quests.

The only thing I'm worried about is the overworld being the same and that exploration and discovery will be hampered because of that. They have had years of course so I'm sure that in addition to the sky setting and whatever else new stuff there is (underground cave network please!) they've changed the overworld a ton to make it so there's still plenty of surprises there. Still... a bit worried.

I would say that the only thing I'm concerned about is the potential of requiring new hardware to play it.
