Looks awesome. Glad to see a return to 2D, and playing as Zelda seems interesting. We’ll see how the combat feels, I do have some huge doubts on that, but I’ll be buying it either way unless it’s just a total dud.
This basically confirms that we aren’t getting WW/TP on the switch though lol which feels so crazy to me after all those years of rumors

i cant believe nintendo is going to make me buy another damn zelda switch

Craziest part is it releasing in 3 months
Gabcard
I was sold at playable Zelda.

Finally a game where you get to play as Zelda!
Only thing a little concerning is the performance. Link’s Awakening was a fun game but had some slow down and issues.

Can’t believe it took nintendo so long for us to finally be able to play as the character that the game series is named after.
Hold_my_Dirk
Should have called it Legend of Link.

Okay, I heard leaks about Zelda game, but I didn’t expect a brand new title, what the fuck? Also they’re bringing back Link’s Awakening Remake artstyle, pretty cool
SlaughterSpine78
Boss battles will be interesting and those echo things definitely break the game in some way, looking forward to it.

This looks unbelievably cute and creative. This kind of game is perfect for going in blind and not using guides (until you absolutely have to)
I can’t wait to figure puzzles and combat out in my own way with all these goofy echoes.
And seriously chibi Zelda is so freaking cute I can’t handle it
Quespito
Zelda’s “echo” mechanic seems super interesting and could lend itself to some unique puzzles! I’m interested in how this game turns out.

It looks like they’re taking the creative elements of BotW and TotK and bringing them into the 2D games. Cautiously optimistic since this is a new gameplay style, but it looks very interesting.
Glyphmeister
Top-down BOTW with Zelda as the protagonist.
Sold!
Nostradamius
I hate to make the comparison, but…it’s kinda funny that this is basically the polar opposite of Princess Peach Showtime lmao
Shows how different the audiences are for both these games despite nominally being “the damsel in distress’s first game”

I’m convinced that being a level designer and programmer for Nintendo must legitimately be one of the hardest jobs in game development. I’m truly in awe of the fact that they can give the player that much freedom without it just breaking the game
Daydream_machine
Looks like a unique take for the Zelda franchise, I’m interested in how they’ll balance it so you can’t just spam Echoes of strong monsters to beat everything

Seems like the devs brought the spirit of many-possible-solutions from BOTW and TOTK into a top-down Zelda game. I’m so down for that!
Mean_Dalenko
I feel mixed about this. Links Awakening was one of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve had gaming wise in recent years, so I was really excited seeing the style. Likewise playing as Zelda and having different combat has me interest.
But I’m concerned that the ability and the way it’s used to traverse the overworld may take the place of the classic item based progression that was a big part of what made the top down Zelda’s so enjoyable. Feels like they’ve kind of got a little obsessed with the ‘freedom’ aspect of BOTW/TOTK.
I could be wrong, after all it’s only a short clip. I’m still looking forward to getting stuck into it, but yeah, until I know more I’m not getting my hopes too high.

The Legend of Zelda name where you actually play as Zelda? What is this sorcery!!
Not gonna lie, I think The Switch era probably treated the princess better than she has ever been in the last 40 years.
Moznomick
I’m definitely interested in this but I don’t know how to feel about the combat? Zelda is a capable fighter so I don’t know why they couldn’t do something else but I’m still going to keep my eyes on it. Hoping for a demo though.

When it opened with Zelda imprisoned in a gem, I high-key thought they were debuting Oracle of Seasons in Links Awakening style 😭
I will be consuming massive amounts of copium until this game drops in September

i’m a little worried at having to manage 200 different echoes and scroll through them but we’ll see
Busalonium
I’m definitely interested, but also somewhat skeptical regarding how a mechanic like that doesn’t just become completely broken.
Red_Cat231
Really hope they implement quick swaps or it’ll be annoying to have to pause and change to the right summon.
SpikeRosered
Finally a remake of the best Zelda game, Wand of Gamelon!
ControllerBreakers
Speedrunning this game is going to be REALLY interesting.
“And now we table clip to launch ourselves to the boss, and use the chair from the beginning to Infinite Damage Glitch stored from dropping it on that one monster at the beginning.”

While I get a new way to play, it would have been nice to give Zelda some type of weapon. I play loz because it’s an action adventure problem solving game, not just puzzle solving game.
I’m a big loz fan and consider oot my favorite game ever, not sure if I’ll pick this up or not. It’s really not my style. I might just need to see more of the mechanics.

I can’t wait to fight monsters with my Animal Crossing inventory

This is why I love Nintendo directs the most. Not only great games but within 6 months. What a dream.

So we could drown ganondorf in cubes of water?
“You may have covered the world in darkness, but… can you SWIM?!?!”
(Summons infinite cubes of water)
“Wtf how did this bitch kno- brrlrlrllrlrlrlrlrlrlrlrl…”

Looks great, hopefully it doesn’t upset the clear and straight forward timeline that has been established throughout the Zelda game series
