I imagine it’ll be a smaller version of the great plateau but just in island form

I wonder how link will start from being inside an underground cave to a floating island in the sky.

Man, I’m not sure I like >!Create!< being such a huge part of a Zelda game.
Hope I like it.

> Link begins his journey on one of the many mysterious floating islands that have suddenly appeared in the skies high above Hyrule. It’s there our hero will have to gain new abilities before returning to the surface world to begin his epic adventure.
Well, that sounds a lot like the Great Plateau. Works for me.

Lol, they say “dank caves”

Are we once again getting every single of our powers in the first hours of the game?

I think it was quite obvious that the bit were Link free falls and the logo appears was going to be how the game starts tbh

I thought the game will start, we will see how the islands “appear” and then the tutorial starts. But if we start in the sky, how come there are islands now? Why does Link don’t know of the islands? There must have happened something, they must show us, before the start. I thought the awakening of dorf causes these islands to appear?
Are we going to have to rummage through flashbacks again?

I haven’t played through a Zelda game since The Wind Waker but the last trailer was incredible. How necessary do we feel playing BotW first will be? I just recently started getting into the Switch as my main console so I haven’t played it before and playing both these games seems like a daunting task when I already have a small backlog.

I can’t wait to see the Speedrun tactics to get on the ground early

Hoping no cutscenes to start. Just like botw; wake up and start playing. Fill it all in later

The game looks fantastic and I am excited about all the possibilities with the new abilities, however I admit I also yearn for a more traditional, crafted dungeon crawler such as Ocarina of Time or Twilight Princess again. It’s such a great formula. I think there is space in the series for both gameplay types – open world, free form creation with many possibilities (like Minecraft) and also a more curated and dare I say linear experience.

>Familiar locations have been dramatically transformed, with new towns, dank caves, and mysterious gaping chasms springing up across the world—all waiting to be explored.
Dank caves.

Two things to note in this
-You can Ascend through certain enemies. ( I’m assuming a massive boss) which sounds epic.
-On the bottom of the site it says Amiibo sold separately. ( game could have amiibo support)

After finishing skyward sword a few months ago i cant help but think they just thought
“What if we combined BotW and Skyward Sword?!”
Sightly joking aside, the hype is on
Sephonik
So we know there’s a new companion mechanic. What if they introduce this right at the start with Link and Zelda in the caves?

I don’t care where or how we start. I just want to start!

Love this sub but leaving till I complete the game. After that trailer I don’t need/want to see any other spoilers

why is everone so desperate for spoilers?

Ok time to unsubscribe to all Zelda subs.
It’s spoiler season.

This’ll probably get lost amidst all the other theories, but this trailer had a ton of content in the air and on the ground with Link in his blue champions tunic, fighting, puzzle solving, questing, etc. In those shots his arm is normal. Other shots feature him with wilder hair, the scruffier tunic, and the ruined arm.
It makes me think the time between the start and the moment you ruin your arm will not be a short tutorial/prologue section.
I suspect we’re going to get a big opening act, akin to ALTTP and OOT, with maybe several hours of action before a big change occurs in the game
RuengimaJunior
this is gonna go down as one of the best games in history i bet

I loved breath of the wild but I miss the traditional dungeons and the surprise of the item from the dungeon and figuring out how that item connects to beating the boss getting all the special items at the beginning of botw kinda ruined that for me

Can’t wait to explore the dank caves

Link awakens on a cart, riding downhill
“Hey you, you’re finally awake”

No thanks. I’m not on the fence about this game. I’m already going to buy it, have the switch OLED and amiibo preordered.
I don’t need this or trailers, I just need the game.

Anyone else here prefer to stay away from all these previews and teasers?
I’m as hyped as anyone else, but for me a huge part of the joy in any Zelda game, is going in blind and feeing like a little kid being amazed by everything.

Man is there just zero mystery anymore?
veryrare13
I think the sky island we start on will be random for each play through
Scp-vexulus
Why do people want to know and see this and any type of game play ?
