E3 2014: Aonuma Would Like to Show You Something Called Zelda for Wii U

As always, Nintendo impresses with their graphical style. It's amazing what their creative team can accomplish on such a handicapped system.

I like so much of what was said and what was shown. Loving the artstyle and hey, I wouldn't mind if going green tunic would be completely optional as well. There are still a lot of unknowns, but for now I'm excited and that feels nice.

TAKE MY MONEY NOW

HD Zelda hype! This looks gorgeous, and I'm really excited to see how the new emphasis on freedom of progression turns out.

As for Link's gender, that design is definitely more feminine than usual, but I think it's still meant to be a dude. If it were a girl, they probably would've given her a more distinct bust. (Unless they're deliberately keeping it ambiguous for now...)

So, I'm guessing this Link was trained by Geralt of Rivia. Jokes aside, this game looks stunning.

interesting, not what I was expected. Really have to set back expectations since the 3DS game last Christmas was SOOOO AMAZING!!!

Not bad. Not bad at all. Certainly looks like something I could get into, which I haven't been able to say about an LoZ game in ages.

Now I'm just worried about that nebulous 2015 date... If it's late 2015, then the Wii U's going to have a tough time ahead of it...

I'd love it if nothing were gated except maybe for harder enemies. If you are a bad enough dude you can just Wood Sword your way through the entire game with 3 hearts.

I am curious if there will be such a thing as builds in this game. Archer, Swordsman, Magician/Engieer maybe?

Yeah, I'll probably get a Wii U just for this.

Yeah, I was also confused about Link's gender in this trailer. Is he a girl or did he just become even more androgynous?

I am ridiculously into this. An open world Zelda for the first time since what, Zelda II? Sign me the fuck up.

This could be really special. The open field they showed looked pretty sick, and I like how they are describing the game as completely non-linear.

awesome. Will this make me buy a wii-u........before it was a no, now it's a, we'll see...

looks a lot different!

Wasn't a Link Between Worlds approachable from different angles? I did not play it, so I don't know. He's talking about going to random dungeons instead of going from dungeon 1 to 2 and so on. He's probably excluding handheld Zelda games or something

@benmo316: Haven't multiple Zelda games started with Link in regular clothes before getting his green clothes? In Wind Waker he even starts out wearing blue. I'd be surprised if he never ended up in green in this game.

Look so damn good.

Thank fuck

I've watched this trailer about five times so far. It's just so good. I love the art style. Though I'm surprised there's no uproar about Link wearing blue and not green. 2015: Year of the Wii U.

It's working.

Looks like I need to pick up a Wii U at some point now...

It says Zelda on it. Take my money.

Wait... it doesn't say "Tingle" on it anywhere does it?

Ok good. TAKE MY MONEY.

I have always wanted an Elder Scrolls-ish style of Zelda game since the first time I played an Elder Scroll game.. consider me HYPED

what if zelda was a girl

@evolvedtolive: Is that not Link?

@evolvedtolive: That's link yo

Open-world female-protagonist Zelda. Yes!

HYPE

HYPE HYPE.

Well, I am of the firm opinion that robots, even ancient magical robots, improve any game that they are ever put in. So yes, I am quite excited for this. I'll almost certainly buy a WiiU whenever this comes out.

Looking pretty nice
