    Oh, almost forgot, shirtless Link is a thing now.

    You can have Link run around without a shirt.

    Fan service.

    Oh was Twilight Princess the 'gritty and dark' Zelda? I remember the art style of that one. Pretty realistic.

    I really need to play more Zeldas. I've literally completed Spirit Tracks. I've played Ocarina of Time for the 3DS, but haven't completed yet.

    TP was one of the darker ones, yes.

    I also read that this game can be played with a regular controller on the Wii U and not just the gamepad.

    Ganon gets Revived in Four Swords, which is later in the MM/TP timeline, though considering we have damn robots running around, any number of things could have happened between ages.

    So far the Missing Hero/Adult Link Timeline is probably the "happiest" timeline. Spirit Tracks pretty much painted a new beginning for Hyrule that is a hell of a lot better than where TP and Zelda II were taking things.

    There was a fight with a guardian on horseback earlier where you could jump off the horse, parasail for some extra air then pull out your bow and bomb arrow it.

    You can also burn grass and use the heat to raise the glider.

    The amount of detail in this game is amazing.

    I was just watching some gameplay with my roomie, and something kind of occurred to me regarding where the game may exist in the timeline. An old man says that the great plateau is said to be the birthplace of Hyrule, which makes me wonder if the area they're on now was actually abandoned and there's another, still-thriving Hyrule elsewhere. That could place it in the same timeline as Wind Waker and Spirit Tracks.

    That would be an interesting discovery. Nintendo showed so much of the game today, and yet it's still only the tip of the iceberg. I'm honestly ready to play this game now and the wait is liable to kill me. I love how pretty much everything in the environment can be interacted with in different ways.



    Link is getting ready for his race with Cloud.



    Douchebag Link xD

    Absolutely riveting dialogue options. Link is such an ass.

    Link doesn't have time for any hooded old man. He knows where this goes.

    More news on the game:

    "Users may not actually get the full story depending on how they play this game and how they strategize and solve puzzles," producer Eiji Aonuma told Polygon. "Users are able to go to the very end goal without revealing why Link woke up the way he did and where he did. Whether you want to reveal the storyline and find out why Link woke up, or you want to just go straight to the goal, that's an option totally up to the user."
    When asked, Aonuma confirmed that a player could go directly to the final boss of the game from its opening moments if they wanted. However, he also stressed that he didn't view this as an ideal way to play.
    "Anybody who can go straight to the goal without doing anything else — there's two possibilities," Aonuma said. "Either they're a really good gamer, or they could be somebody that's a little bit crazy. But it's not impossible. I created the game like that.

    That's amazing. There's going to be so much game cred running around to anyone who manages to do this and succeed.

    That's kind of cool. Sounds like how some of the recent Western RPGs do things by allowing you to go straight to the final missions but at the risk of being severely underpowered and missing out on critical story elements.

    It's pretty neat to see Zelda make its way into the modern world of RPG gaming but still hold on to its unique style. Best showing at E3 by far for me.

    Yeah, I want a Wii U bad now. Which is something I never thought I'd say even with how much I wanted to play Bayonetta 2.

    At least with the NX right around the corner it may get another price cut so it'll be more doable for me. After that it's just the matter of making room for it.
