How much possibilities of getting to play as Zelda?

Are you gonna be angry when none of that happens?

Why does everyone want to play Zelda? Just play Link. What's the problem with Link?You guys just want to see her ass and take some more sound effects for your porn fan projects. That's all you want out of it

>Short playable sections as Zelda for puzzle solving in dungeons
There you go.

Link getting that possessed/cursed arm is going to be his equivalent of the Shiekah slate, and Zelda will get her slate back from Link. The two characters can be swapped between, go different places on the world map, and be traded between for dungeons and puzzles each with their own set of complimentary items/tools for puzzle solving.

Screencap me.

Zelda with the Shekiah Slate and Link with his DT
DO IT, NINTENDO

I doubt it personally, I like the idea of the user who said maybe she'll be your travelling companion that helps the player a bit by picking up items and gathering and shit.

100%: Long hair is a pain for developers to animate, on a princess who sits still or gets captured it’s no reason to cut her hair but if Zelda is with you the entire game it would be easy for the long hair to swing around alot or clip through body parts. The solution is cutting her hair, which also signifies character development in Japan & explains why Link look exactly the same. Since you will be playing as Zelda

Give her a sentient weapon like Fi that actually is the one doing all the fighting.

Practically guaranteed given many different factors such as this trailer, the constant public outcry for a playable Zelda, and the Zelda team reusing assets. Nintendo has been big on catering to public demands lately and this is a big one.

>trailer has Zelda with link
>HOLY SHIT SHE MUST BE PLAYABLE WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE?????????????
what's gonna end up happening is she'll be present for the first 30 minutes then disappear out of nowhere, or she'll be like Tetra where she's present and actively involved with bits and pieces of the story, but you never play as her. Final boss will do the same shit as WW too where she shoots the light arrow at him throughout the fight.

>it's guaranteed you guys

BOY you guys are gonna be disappointed.

0% chance you'll play just Zelda. Nintendo is big on marketing, a LoZ game where Link barely shows up is not gonna happen.

The scary part is that Aonuma does listen to the fans so Zelda being playable at some point is a possibility for a future game. But also Aonuma loves Link as a child so the chances of anyone but him being playable are also low.

This
Absolutely delusion, Every single game developer panders to Resetera & Nintendo will be no different. They are fully aware of how much people have been demanding a playable Zelda

I'm sick of this playable Zelda bullshit. But I know Aonuma listens to the western pigs all the time.

I got some Spirit Tracks vibes. She'll be at least sidekick/partially playable in some segments. Best case scenario is you can switch between them at any time to get past areas that play to their strengths.

5% and it would only be temporary

here's what might happen.
>won't actually be playable in the sense you'd expect
>she'll be actively involved with the story like Tetra or will be the Midna/Navi/Fi of the game
>you'll get something like the command melody in wind waker and have moments where you take control of zelda to do certain things
>extremely limited moveset, all she'll probably be able to do is run and jump and crawl, most likely will only be used for pressing another button in the same room.

Attached: tetra-zelda.jpg (600x349, 19K)

Let's be honest, the important question is will Link mating press her butthole at any point in the game?

if nintendo listened to their fans like that, BOTW would've had a female link option, but it didn't

Pretty high, I'd say.

>Direct sequel with the same characters
>Need a convenient reason for the playable character to not have a full set of hearts / stamina / spirit powers
>Went through the whole WHO IS THE HOODED FIGURE DO WE GET TO PLAY AS ZELDA tease last time with early BOTW trailers

Nintendo is aware of how much people want to play as zelda, and this is the first time everything is lined up perfectly to allow for it. She's an outdoorsy explorer with very little control over her destiny power magic, in a sequel to a game where we already have a full power link.

>The two explore that tomb thing
>Find ?hero/?ganon corpse
>Link gets got
>Zelda has a whole complex about being unable to stop it, which triggers another massive relapse/block from her powers
>Spends the game BOTWing her way around a new world map
>Gets her goddess powers back
>Big fancy showdown
>Get to play as link in postgame content

It would be a slam dunk. But then, this is the same company that still can't fucking figure out online multiplayer, so I'm not holding out any hope.

It's not the actual fans asking for that.

Wasn't the whole reason for ALttP/ALBW Zelda being used in Smash instead of BotW Zelda that she wasn't suited for combat?

She is gonna be a hindrance that constantly follows you, gets herself into trouble in combat (she will has support ability's/arrow of light though) and we will have to feed and care for her. After we become attached use to the cycle of caring for her the game will take her away in a dramatic twist but now Link has the light arrow and all the support ability's.

>play as zelda
>remove gear so only smallclothes left
>beat my dick like it owes me money

>A game without playable Link
Yeah, no. Your weird Link-hate/yaas kween fantasies aint gonna come to life with this series.

Look user I want Zelda to be playable too, but don't be one of those retards that jumps into conclusions of what will happen in a videogame that just started development recently.

Did whoever write this not play the previous game?

It’s worth noting that Link & Zelda’s designs are completely identical in almost every way, so obviously they plan on her being playable alongside Link. Aonuma said he wanted to make a multiplayer Zelda, so this will likely have Co-Op mechanics since every single Zelda relies on a major gimmick

Yes.

God damn! We need another Hyrule Warriors to make you guys shut up. Hopefully future updates dismiss everybody wanting a playable Zelda.

You're the gay boy here bro

>so this will likely have Co-Op mechanics since every single Zelda relies on a major gimmick
Nintendo needs to stop with the fucking gimmicks. It's easily the worst thing they do as a company.

Seething incel, Resetera literally always wins. There will be a playable Zelda in this game

Have her learn magic over the course of the game.

Fuck playable Zelda! I want more peaceful Link gameplay than worrying about some bitch.

>Link & Zelda’s designs are completely identical in almost every way
that's because Link is Zelda's champion and Zelda dressed exactly like him in the first game too user, jesus christ.

Yeah and also because she can't use magic. BotW Zelda does more science than magic and only the only magic she ever did was the Ganon sealing spell which didn't even work 100% because she is so shit.

Retard Zelda sounds cute.

Until she backs you into a corner and you have to climb over her, or she keeps dying to the boss over and over again, or getting stuck on the puzzles.

This is a huge leap in logic when it can just mean that she's matured.

Name one 3D Zelda game with good combat.

It was perfectly fine. Zelda's never been character action game, don't expect Link to turn into Raiden all of a sudden. Basically all they could add are a half-dozen timed prompt moves like you had in TP/WW/MC.

It allows the developers to have Zelda wear all of Link’s outfits without having to worry about them clipping through her hair. Just accept that she’s playable & cope more. Resetera & Polygon confirmed that it’s happening

They’ll be switchable characters ala GTAV
Cap this

Maybe more difficulty and variety. Zelda is not known for complex fighting mechanics.

I've always wanted for them to bring Wizard Link back.
This is good enough.

resetera has no control over nintendo, Nintendo bans trannies for making stages telling people that they're valid.

I mean this is a given at this point, anyone who thinks otherwise is a retard

Fixed implies it was broken.
It wasn't (aside from flurry rush 'tism) just very mediocre on average. They need to either go all the way with the "muh physics and chemistry webm" experience or rework it entirelt.

To be honest, idc I just want to play as link

Damn, I can't argue against speculation

yes, the input delay needs to be fixed.
if they can make it like TP but the enemy AI as smart as BotW Lynels and add some Darknuts, it would be great.

Most 3d games get it decently, twilight princess does the classic fighting style the best because of sword ability variety though is too easy because of how overpowered they are
Skyward sword has good combat
You don't need to turn Zelda into a Platinum game to make the combat good
Pretty much, the lack of enemy variety and legitimately good AI made the combat bland as fuck, and zero sword skills existing (unless you count the champion abilities i guess) made it feel really repetitive and bland.

BOTW 2’s gimmick will be allowing the player to play as both Link & Zelda during the entire game, exactly like GTA 5. Both of them will be playable protagonists & will share the same items which is why they used Link’s model to re-design Zelda.

Wrong.

They will both be main characters, it will be a switching mechanic & will have Link get seperated and you will control Zelda & rescue him this time instead of Link being the one to rescue her

I think it's most likely 2 or 3 years away considering how much we've seen so far and their reusing the map. Also I can see the switch 2 being released in 2 or 3 years from now considering we're probably going to get a switch pro or whatever soon

user, where do you think you are?

100%

Everything points to Link and Zelda being playable as being the core concept of the game

BotW was all about how much fun you could play alone in a sandbox, this game will be about how much fun playing in a sandbox with someone else (not referring to multiplayer) can be

>Zelda rescuing link
What's your source in this? They showed link getting a ghost hand in the trailer I'm sure he's still the MC. Zelda is probably a secondary playable character

She awakens her powers at the end of the game so this is essentially a new zelda who is capable of magic now

Innovation is antithetical to Zelda

He's probably basing it on this . My guess is just that she'll be playable for the tutorial, whether she stays with you or Ganondorf nabs her is up in the air, but if they're singing about Zelda needing to do something and Link being gone that points to her being on her own at the start.

Link will always be the protagonist, but now Zelda has more importance to the story than he does. They had planned for Zelda to be the protagonist in the sequel all along which is why the first game was spent developing her into an independent character that can handle herself without having to rely on Link

Zelda is literally never getting captured in this game, That contradicts everything that happened in BOTW. She’s strong enough to handle any in-universe character now. She’s going to be playable throughout the entire game, just like Link.

Man you sure do overreact to getting replied to. Have another.

it's not like zelda is this convoluted shit like souls, usually what you see is what you get and the simplest answer is the truth

More powerful Zeldas with stronger magic than her have gotten got, user.

Looks like you're just making baseless assumptions. Like I said at most Zelda will be a supporting playable character. Link will still be the main playable character they'll probably expand gameplay options with his ghost hand too. It just seems like you're obsessed with zelda being the MC

She looks better with long hair.

Am I the only one who thinks this?

Why would I screencap obvious shit you fucking retard. Come up with some crazy shit and I might waste my time.

you can't assume Zelda would be playable just by looking at the trailer, that's a random assumption. Even arguments like "THEY'RE DESIGNS ARE SIMILAR" don't work since they're designs were similar in the first game as well.

No, I agree that long hair is better. Not a big deal because it's at least chin-length, anything shorter is gross.

Yeah botw is basically a beatem up with environmental hazards. I want it to play more like past games but obviously expanded on from those days. Generally harder enemies with more dangerous sets of attacks is what I want too. Fuck durability.

I'm with you user

50/50 seems accurate to me. I really really hope so.

To be fair, he’s pretty much right on everything he said. Nintendo has 100 % developed this game with Zelda being playable in mind. Since it takes place in the exact same world the only way for it to be the darker & mature story that Aonuma said it was going to be is if Link gets captured & Zelda has to do everything on her own. You literally already explored this exact same world with Link so you are retarded if you think he will be the protagonist of the main game. Post game will allow full on co-op Exploration between Link & Zelda

These are cool ideas! I hope it's the actual game

>Co-op
Why the fuck didn't I even think about this possibility ? I guess I didn't dare to, but thanks now I have high hopes.

this, fuck durability

Fuck off Sakurai you glorious retard

>Since it takes place in the exact same world the only way for it to be the darker & mature story that Aonuma said it was going to be is if Link gets captured & Zelda has to do everything on her own.
or they'll do what they've done for every zelda game that tries to be dark and just make the story dark by having link be cursed.
>Majora's Mask: Deku curse leads to mask collecting

It's a scuffed variation of the game over theme from Zelda 1.

100%, i mean whats the point of her getting a haircut if shes just gonna be the nerd?

just going off of the trailer and what this user pointed out it sounds like the game is going to focus on death and things like that, Link gets a ghost hand and stuff like that. What I think will happen will be this:
>Link fucking dies at the start of the game
>He comes back to life with ghost powers
>whole game is about Link fighting his way through hyrule because a super evil took over the world after he killed him, and Zelda is trying to find out how to properly resurrect zombie ghost link.

I wasn't that user, just stopped by to tell you that you're an enormous faggot

I mean objectively speaking, Link is hotter than Zelda, and you could take his clothes off to get fun reactions out of people.

One big escort mission from beginning to end.

>Non-playable link
Let's not go too far user. Zelda games has always had link as the MC

Objectively speaking, faggots should kill themselves.

Lets hope the emulator is playable by then

Final boss is a retread of Wind Waker's two-on-one fight. Link gets fucked up before or during the fight which disables his arm/rune equivalent (maybe it's even like that the whole final dungeon, so it's like classic Zelda without BOTW's mechanics for the grand finale). Instead the function changes to switching control with Zelda, who has to make openings for Link while he's fighting Ganondorf and buy him time to recover if he gets fucked up even harder.

Any actual "play as Zelda" thing would be a separate DLC scenario, or if we really want to stretch a NG+ feature. Unless they really action-ize her they'd probably just use Linkle.
If they let her use magic again they could repurpose the Stamina Wheel as a Magic Meter, it would recover very slowly or not at all without food/resting and she appropriately wouldn't be able to do any of Link's athletic feats.

Attached: botw-zelda.jpg (1280x720, 97K)

Link and Zelda will both be playable, but you probably choose who you want to play as at the beginning.

Where are people getting this shit about Link getting a possessed/ghost arm? Did we watch the same trailer?

Are you guys fucking retarded? Even this short ass clip plays like a movie where the big bad awakens and he's obviously gonna capture Zelda and beat link senseless and link will wake up outside having to rescue her yet again.

I really hope the remove durability, and replace it with some kind of sharpness system. So instead of your weapon flat out breaking, it just loses its edge, and you need to spend some minerals/rupees to repair it. If they insist on the weapon durability mechanic, at least let us stash more than 3 of each weapon at our house. Link's a royal knight, he should have an entire house just full of weapons.

you see Link's arm glow and shit like that in the random cuts that happen in the trailer.

There is an arm made of energy touching ganondrof's body, later we see the arm grabbing Link so he doesn't fall, then we see Link's arm emanating light.

Please no. I want a cute Zelda companion and at least one instance of her falling and landing ass first on Link's lap.

Bro if they wanted the plot to be Zelda Gets Kidnapped By Bad Man again this wouldnt be a direct sequel to BotW

How do you people not understand this. There is no status quo anymore when it comes to Zelda, and BotW was clearly restraining itself when it came to story elements since the world was the focus of that game. This game is going to build on BotW's formula while also showing that it can have an actual story

Yes that's right, keep parroting that Zelda will be playable, that way when it is revealed she isn't you can all be offended and dissapointed over something that was never confirmed.

And what are you going to do when she is confirmed to be playable

no it won't the purpose of this game is going to be to show how they can take BOTW's formula and mesh it with classic zelda staples, the big highight of the game will probably be traditional dungeons, even more items(though shown through the ghost hand), and actual fucking sidequests.

How exactly a Zelda game that follows the most common premise of all zelda games can't be a sequel to Breath of the Wild?

I haven't stopped cumming since the reveal, it's just been an endless stream of cum. The only thing I would really like in this game is a lot more enemy variety, really hone in on the dark aspect of it. I'm talking TP tier enemy variety. They have an enormous world, they can definitely pad it out a lot.

Really wish this article was worded better, but it’s exactly what you’d expect from IGN. Do you guys think he means it’s DARKER than Majora, or just that the snippet we saw of the game was a bit darker than normal Zelda? If it’s the former I’d cum buckets but I’m assuming it’s the latter. Fucking IGN.

That's not actually a traditional Zelda staple. The games have actually had little in the way of that style of optional content outside of Majora's Mask
BotW probably already has more sidequests than the other classic games

Fuck, that’s good.

We see Links' arm glowing with the same light as the freaky hand in the trailer, plus the Breath of the Wild art book features scrapped game concepts with Link losing his arm and having it replaced by some kind of transforming Sheikah tech prosthetic. So chances are they're reusing that scrapped game concept for the sequel.

I think this user's right the whole game will probably center around death and resurrection, with the point of the game being centered around Link dying at the beginning and coming back to life with ghost powers

I think you’re hearing what you want to hear.

Dunno, guess we’ll have to wait and see. I really hope we get some clarity on that article though because it’d elevate the game to the fucking stratosphere for me if they took a darker turn.

to be fair, BOTW started development before any of those games happened

She literally couldn't do shit until Link fucking died in front of her. It wasn't even her idea to get him to the shrine, it was Fi's.
Her whole 'arc' was being able to express her interests/feelings as herself instead of fulfillimg some divine role. There was nothing about independence.

you played BOTW probably, dude dies really easily in that game.

What?

To be fair, Majora's Mask wasn't that dark.

It had a few mildly depressing optional scenes for a Nintendo game, and lots and lots of projected fanwank overthinking everything, though when I think DARK DARK HOLY SHIT WHY IS IT SO DARK I think Mystery Dungeon. Especially the first 3DS game.

Attempting to salvage some unused assets from BotWs long dev cycle does make sense.
I already feel like parts of the Champion's Ballad DLC, (namely the bike and the battle on top of the flying saucer) came from the scrapped early concept for BotW to be about an alien invasion

Attached: zelda-invasion-680x415.jpg (680x415, 50K)

Maybe so but I'm still interested in why it's become such a trendy trope all of a sudden, out of nowhere

The concept for the amputee arm is from the first BotW

I think what gets people with Majora’s Mask is the genuine dread of death on display on some characters. That’s what gets me, anyways. I really do find those aspects pretty fucking depressing. Mystery dungeon switch when?

How can you lose when you have a BIONIC ARM

I want to think he means we're actually getting a game that's as dark or darker than Majora's Mask's story, content, tone, atmosphere and themes, but seeing that Zelda's become increasingly safe and sugar-coated over the years, I'm not going to try to get my hopes up.

Majora's Mask is by far the darkest game in the franchise though? Not sure what kind of shit you're smoking if you think otherwise.

I think they might still follow through with the whole ancient alien/Lovecraftian invasion deal with the sequel, we do see Hyule Castle floating into the sky at the end of the trailer after all.

Thank GOD that was scrapped. The second aliens are introduced is the second I drop this series forever. I hate superficial faggots who get hard asserting that magic is just science and deities are just aliens, it takes all the mystique out of a fun fantasy series.

And don't you dare post the aliens from Majora's Mask at me you brainlets, there are so many things wrong with using that as a "canon" example I wouldn't know where to begin

it's cool and it's how you include certain mechanics without them being items. Like a hand that's also a grapple hook.

So Link is Danny Phantom.

MGS4 happened in 2008
SS happened in 2011
I would think MGS5 started production before BOTW.

I think it's cool and I think that's what most people think

this is the one, probably gonna have co op stuff for puzzles or something

>Mary Jane treatment
kek

Twilight Princess was more unsettling, at least to me. Plus Ocarina of Time scared the shit out of me as a kid due to the royal tomb and bottom of the well. Entering Majora I was expecting worse but didn't get it.

Attached: Oocca.png (307x353, 90K)

Majora's "darkness" comes mostly from its story, we can hardly tell anything about BOTW2 yet but comparing the tone of this trailer to BOTW's reveal trailer makes it pretty obvious they're going for the "serious" lean of OoT/MM/TP rather than the "wondrous" WW/SS/BOTW.
Aesthetically it's probably going to fall between OoT's bad future and TP's "brown/grimdark." But that's assuming there's going to be a major overhaul/transformation of the overworld, since as it is it would be extremely hard to get any sense of an "oppressive" atmosphere from BOTW's wide-open fields that make up half of its map. And actual "darkness" comes from story/writing elements that we know nothing about, all we really have is a sense of the tone that's been set with creepy dissonant music playing over dark ruins and scare montages and a living corpse.
I read Aonuma's statement as comparing the tone against BOTW, not Majora. It's still obviously a major tone shift, like walking out of the Temple of Time and seeing the sky is red and the town is full of zombies. I wouldn't be concerned that they're not taking it seriously.

Yeah, but I’m pretty sure some of those games were being worked on before botw was started.

why? Who are you gonna play it with?

She'll probably have gameplay segments like Mary Jane or the young negro in Spider Man for PS4. Missions where you do boring as fuck sneaking or puzzle solving. She sure as shit ain't gonna fight, as she's been explicitly stated to not be a fighter.

I was referring more in the release side of things, devs would have no idea what the others are doing, so one of them coming up with the idea wouldn't be because they saw someone else doing it, chances are it literally is just a huge coincidence

Every time they release new Zelda shit my theories about it are wrong so I don't like to expect things to happen. But really I hope the backwards talking and glowing shit has something to do with the twilight

My brother, of course. The other guy that I played 4 swords with in '04 has a kid now or some shit.

I don't care for playable Zelda, but with the amount of crying babies do for a female Link/playable Zelda and Nintendo saying that female Link will never happen because Zelda exists, it feels like prime time for double MCs. I'm with OP here, there's a fairly good chance of it happening. I'm fine with either.

>tfw you've thought having a playable zelda would be neat for decades but because some nobodies on twitter also think it would be a good idea Yea Forums will cry about it all day
I really hope this doesn't become shitposting central if you can play as zelda.
BotW is already hard to talk about on Yea Forums

>Attempting to salvage some unused assets from BotWs long dev cycle does make sense.
Concepts, not "assets." I doubt any of the really weird shit actually made it past the planning stage.

I also think that this shows that at least some of those ideas were scrapped not because Nintendo didn't see value in them, but because they wanted to keep BOTW as simple and focused on the experience of exploring the natural world as possible. They've done that, so now they can build on it with stuff like this.
That and I'd like to think they noticed the positive feedback when they shared all of this stuff with everyone.

Are you comparing Zelda to AAA trash? When has Zelda ever forced you into a walking segment?

Unless you're talking shit about controlling medili which is just wrong.

yeah if they just focused on making a good game instead of shoehorning a gimmick into everything it would be great.

This Zelda is cute unlike the Zeldas that Twitter goblins fantasize about, so it shouldn't be an issue.

Has this been confirmed to be the dorf? I'll be really happy to see him again, as the ancient evil blob ganon from BotW was the worst villain in Zelda history.

he's got the red hairdo and gerudo symbols in all his trinkets

These are sick as fuck. I think they go a little bit too far in a sci-fi direction for Zelda but I love those designs

Well shit, I didn't catch the gerudo symbols before you pointed them out there.

Not confirmed but it seems pretty likely. Red hair, ornament on his forehead, Gerudo symbol on the jewelry, the whole context of the scene

I kinda like the ones we got. The most overt high-technological machine was that fire one and it stuck out like a sore thumb.

Is that the giant mechanical crab from the wild wild west? Of all the worlds retarded ideas, why do people keep having that one?

damn I wish I still played coop games with my brother

>that scene with the Hyrule Castle detaching from the ground
post yfw Link and Zelda are in it, and the castle flies to a different continent, meaning all-new world map

I think playable Zelda is fine as long link still stays as the primary protagonist of the game

He's also frozen in the same pose as dead WW Ganondorf and as the same chest wound at TP Ganondorf. It's where the glowy hand is covering; you can see the Malice pouring out.

Maybe you could play as Zelda during a key moment, that could be cool. Otherwise I have no interest.

Hey, the Master Sword is a holy blade. It can't attain full power unless its wielder is honobaru.

All we know so far is this, as it was recently confirmed by IGN
> Zelda as a new playable character
> Likely takes place underground exploring caves & dungeons
> Darker & More mature storyline, but not edgy garbage like TP
Basically what we are getting is Vagrant Story + Majora’s Mask. Switching between Zelda & Link will probably just be a simple button prompt that can you can use at any time like GTA V. Since they are exploring together the entire game, it makes sense for both Link & Zelda to be the lead MC’s.

100%

If Link gets corrupted by whatever voodoo shit was happening maybe he just can't wield it until he gets purged, or it corrupts the Master Sword and you have to purify it to power it up again like Wind Waker.

What if the glowy parasite hand makes it so Link's unable to wield the Master Sword?

What if it is Co-op but you can also switch between them in single player?

40/60

This is the best possible scenario.

She'll be the obligatory Nintendo brand co-op partner character that can't actually do anything.

>The second aliens are introduced is the second I drop this series forever
So you dropped Zelda after Majora's Mask then?

You're a dirty fucking liar.

There are far far weirder things in Zelda than Aliens.
Faries, for example, talking trees, Midna and a race of women who can actually run a town without killing each other.

In BotW2 you better be able to pet the dogs.

Would it be an overkill if Link will gain the ghost hand AND Zelda will be playable as well?
Like imagine the amount of gameplay possibilities it would bring if you control two of them together and Link having a quick way to pull her towards himself if they are separated.

I want to explore Hyrule with Zelda and grow close.

And then explore Zelda.

>Devil Hand replaces Sheikah Slate
>Link now takes pictures by framing things between his fingers

Link gets ghost hand, Zelda gets her Sheikah slate back.

They need to fix the ability to just instantly consume as much food as you want in a pause menu, it makes the game completely trivial.

I get that climbng can easily break things, but I really hope that they don't make all the dungeons 98% unclimbable.
Climbing is such an integral part of the overworld, so it was really jarring to practically not be able to do it at all in the shrines and divine beasts.

In fact, by the end of the game I was so used to not being able to climb, that it unironicallydidn't hit me that I could climb the interiors of Hyrule Castle.
Being able to climb in Hyrule Castle was great though and it was really satisfying to cross the broken stairs and all kinds of stuff by climbing past the pits.

imagining ganondorf as a lich makes me wanna cum

They're finally together! On adventures even!

Attached: 61687706.gif (320x213, 233K)

I doubt she will get kidnapped. She will release him but this will also release the ghost hand that will fuse with Link, she will almost fall to her death but get saved by him.
The hand is really useful if they are both playable since it probably functions like devil bringer thus allowing Link to climb something then pull Zelda to himself amont other things.
Really wish Zelda to take over the Slate functions instead.

they were together having adventures 100 years ago.

That was back when Zelda was still a whiny little princess.

Short hair cucks are just an obnoxious and loud minority

They were just barely together back then in spite of traveling together.

what's up with this arm thing going on in Japan lately

Zelda is an incredibly popular franchise across the entire world to such an extent that when a new game is announced, everyone stops to take notice. BOTW is already a legendary game and merely announcing a sequel to one of the perceived best games ever will draw enough attention. But Nintendo never settles for the expected, they are always pushing new boundaries in creative ways.

Now consider this, who is the series popular with? Children, adults, men and women. What would garner more interest than for the first time ever announcing Princess Zelda as a playable character in such an esteemed franchise? Nothing would.

It's about time and it's going to happen whether you like it or not, and it's beautiful.

I think she may, at most, be a travel partner, based on the emphasis they put on her and Link exploring the underground temple in the trailer. You will still play as Link, since they made a point of showing off that he gets some strange power in his right arm.

no you shouldn't. Not owning a switch means you're doing well

>Link's arm gets possessed
>Zelda decides to fights
>Using Master Sword drains her life until she gets powerful enough
>Link becomes a magic caster with his arm

The fact that Link gets his little Mononoke arm suggests that they still intend on him being playable. If Zelda got the arm, I think we'd be looking at a different story.

I still think there's a decent chance she might be playable in some capacity though, changing her design but keeping Link's the same is suspect. It's probably easier for them to animate a character with shorter hair. Not gonna lie I was hoping Zelda would be playable when I first saw the trailer. She was the more interesting character in the previous game now that they're trying to make Link be more his own character.

Yes. But they will be played separately, like chapters and will eventually reunite to fight the big bad.
During the time she'll eventually be playable with a Sheik costume.

The character switch mechanic out of combat should be a kiss

Agreed. Feels like the same song and dance we went through with BotW. A while back Aonuma or someone talked about how they'd rather Zelda prop up her own gameplay and game, I don't think that changed.

I would kill to hear remixes from the Minish Cap.

You'll be able to switch between Link and Zelda at any moment, or at least play with Zelda sometimes. It's pretty obvious.

Ocarina and Majora came two years apart, so next year is a lock.

Good fashion
I really wish the Zelda mod was as fleshed out as the Linkle mod, I can't justify playing as her

The best-case scenario probably involves having Zelda as an active companion alongside Link. Single player probably would involve switching between the two(with an option for Co-op play).

An acceptable second option would involve having Zelda as the primary, if only because the novelty of such a thing was only ever done in the dreaded CDI games.

But I'd give two-to-one odds that this is all just a big dicktease.

The former makes most sense.

She will follow Link around like that girl in Pokemon Colloseum

CO-OP MOTHER FUCKER

Of course it's ganondorf, I mean literally no other character in the games is Gerudo, Red Hair, some importance and has a Gem on their forehead.

No it isn't, that guy was clearly sarcastic. He was saying Nabooru fits that description as well, therefore we can't predict the corpse is Ganondorf.

play MM

I-I want a Gerudo girlfriend

same, the Zora Armor in BotW is bull shit.
sure you can climb waterfalls which are only in two parts of the game but drowning really?

No I said that it's possible that it isn't Ganondorf because those traits that they use to prove it being him, has been used on other Gerudos.
Nabooru was just an example.

I wish we could play as Zelda for a bit but I doubt it. Her powers are either too subtle for game play or too OP. It is a pity because even though BOTW was mostly from Link's perspective she was basically billed as a hero on par with link.

I would love to see some darker botw like with zelda as the playable character
Imagine fighting monsters with best girl in a skimpy outfit

Why would some random Gerudo that just happens to look like Ganondorf be sealed away and oozing evil gas thingy. It's Ganondorf, let it go.

Fair, but it would be a bit of a buzzkill.

>How many possibilities of getting to fuck as Zelda?

I don't think we would ever get a playable Zelda that wasn't all-too-similar to Link in terms of function.

Here's my argument. Besides Zelda actually doing stuff for once for the first time outside of the CDI and Spirit Track games, BotW works better with a scrub protag.

And boy oh boy is Zelda a scrub. We can make Link the protag again but we'll have to say all his spirit orbs were sucked out by the curse.

Link is cool and I'd play as Link a lot even if Zelda was playable, but Zelda is cool too and it'd be really neat if we could play as her as well and I would no doubt do so if we could.
That said, I don't actually want it to be limited to just Link and Zelda. Imagine if the champions had been playable.

Now the champions are dead and bringing them back would kind of undermine the conclusion we got from the dlc. That said, the sequel is no doubt going to have new characters, and if they're just as good then they should be playable too.
The champions were such a waste of potential. Just imagine if they had been playable and the completion of each divine beast was a new character unlock.

I'm ready for overlord ganondorf.

Finish the game as Link to unlock Zelda mode.

Honestly I'd be down with pulling from the Lego games and how you can have an ai companion you can take control over for puzzles/abilities.

Start the game as Zelda, trying to save Link, creating him a new arm, then play the last part as Link.

Gamedev here, couch coop in BotW is impossible with its current hardware unleds you share screen with your companion ala PS2 GTASA, splitscreen means rendering the game twice and the Switch already struggles doing it once.
It'd either be online only or Zelda as AI.
My bet is that she's either gonna get captured again or she'll become a support NPC like grandma loli.
As much as Id like her as AI companion I just don't see it working without being clunky af

I just hope we get dual audio on release instead of a patch 3 months later

My girlfriend. Jesus saying this on this place resonates so negatively, feels like saying that I'm billionaire.

It's a winter 2020 game if we're overly optimistic. Most likely it'll launch at summer 2021.

Ignore the shitposters. My wife and I game together all the time too.

No, it was a blessing. Link, like most hylians, was supposed to be in his spiritual form after entering the twilight. He became a wolf because the goddess intervened as he's the bearer of the triforce of courage

I think they show it off at E3 next year as their big game with a spring 2021 release

.

Link will get killed in the first 5 hours of the game.
You play as Zelda for the rest of it.

Yeah BotW was announced in June 2015 and released in March 2017, but they also already have thousands of overworld assets along with the tech, enemy AI, weapons

How angry are you going to be when it doesn't happen?

Winter 2020 is still year and a half away but I wouldn't mind waiting longer as long as the game is good.

She'll be a permanent escort character and you'll have to constantly protect her.

Nah senpai, i think it's about right to expect it for next years holiday

>all these people thinking you'll be able to play as Zelda
Did none of you fags play BOTW? She's not a fighter or a magic user so she wouldn't be able to do 90% of the shit Link does. She'll probably be like ST Zelda in that she's with you in dungeons and helps you with certain puzzles as that would be her expertise

>I'm not a Zelda fan
big shocker

I wouldn't even mind that desu. Probably not the best decision though.

She IS a magic user by the end of BoTW

Pretty high chance of that, puzzles will probably involve usage of both characters, maybe even some CO-OP options.

Wrong. She lost all of her powers and became unable to hear Fi's voice after defeating Ganon.

I dont have any particular desire for it, but it's absolutely going to happen

i wont mind watching her ass

combat (apart from durability) was fine, they just need to build the enemies around the combat system better. in other words, have more than 5 enemy types.

>didn't watch the trailer or a brainlet who can't make out why people theorize that you possibly might play as Zelda or at least coop

I feel that the main issue with BOTW's combat was how enemies always ragdolled after a certain number of hits and just flew away from you and dropped their weapons. They were never really a threat because they used difficult moves but because they just did a lot of damage when they actually hit you.

>Not realising they cut her hair short to avoid having to psychics and animation for it, of course she is going to be playable

>all these fags screaming for playable Zelda
>not wanting a comfy companion like Aonuma promised in BotW 1
Pathetic

This. Sure, its the new thing, but virtue signalling doesn't sell games all on its own. It'll get you media attention, but you still actually have to sell the game.

You are undoubtedly going to sell less of any game with a female protagonist. Nintendo would never just shoot themselves in the foot right out of the gate like that.

HW Ganondorf's beautiful lion mane was glorious.
Best ganondorf design handsdown.

Stunlocking was pretty easy but if they didn't fly away so damn far and got up a bit faster it would have been much better already.
I wish tehy implemented proper difficulty settings. Easier oness could have it as BotW did and harder have it something similar to what I laid out earlier.

Nips love special hand powers

i didn't quite catch that

I just want actual dungeons and not identical shrines with the same exact interior. Is that too much to ask? What are the chances that they just do shrines again? Seems low.

we better have the ability to pet the animals.
you put a dog and many farm animals in the game but can't pet any of them? come on.

Am I perhaps deaf because I can't make out anything out of this? Which timestamps am I supposed to be listening in on?

It's inverted sound autismo. They are "hearing" what the previous user grentexted. It's inverted lavender town music creepypasta all over again.

I want both.
Zelda will both be my companion and playable.
I want puzzles that utilize 2 people.

>Link's demon hand makes him unable to wield the master sword
fuck how did I not realize this sooner

I don't like it, it looks like some Samurai game villain.

I want both shrines and dungeons.
Fuck you give and take fags

>implying you couldn't do that without playable Zelda
Playable zelda is for shitters, comfy AI waifu is clearly the best option

This.

You could just choose to never pilot zelda then.

Is the tone of the green from the hand seal the same tone of green as that one mountain with the weird spirit deer?

Is it really a demon hand? It seems to be restraining the malice coming out of the corpse.

You can't be this dumb

Looks like your point flew over the heads of the rest of the morons in this thread.

Even if it's not evil, like say for example, the spirit of a past Link, it could still be unfit due to being corrupted, dead, unholy, etc.

If it's not evil it should be fine.
The master sword never had arbitrary qualifications like thst before.

I just don't hear it.
How does it sound like it?

If they make her playable there's no way they're going to give her more than rudimentary AI though

The shit is the best part, brainlet.

He has the Master Sword in the trailer so I'm wondering how will they take it away because it's pretty much end-game bringer of death in BotW. my guess is it will fal into a ravine or fall out and be taken away by forces of evil(TM) and you'll have to retrieve it if you want it back, which is still a bit cheap but it's better than ruining it with its damage numbers being nerfed or something else and making it a not-so-legendary weapon.

I think Zelda might be a companion who uses magic attacks to help you. It would also help her get around because she could teleport to you with magic when you get too far away.

So this Zelda is meant to be darker than the others?

Zelda had her own journey in Skyward Sword. It might be neat if they both have their separate quests, regardless of who is playable.

zelda's sweaty feet

That's easy to circumvent. With Goulnondorf now at full power the sword does miniscule damage to every monster and needs to be upgraded (again). Do so by going to these points of Hyrule who are now underground temples and heavily guarded and blablabla.

Hear me out, what if the corpse claims the master sword?

>gyaru Zelda
Thanks, user

>gimmicks are bad
>later complain that all games are boring lately
KYS both of you, the wiimote was a blessing

That would be a great idea. Link just beat Ganon and is OP as fuck at this point in the game. That's not the case for Zelda.

>me and some other user
I see the (you), user

user have you EVER watched an action anime? This is one of the most basic topes

Can I have a you for test purposes, haven't been able to get them since shitposting in the banjo sticky.

I love posh bullshit so Ill love it

It's not hard to get hrt online

Thank god for the Japanese voices. Japanese Zelda and Mipha is top cute.

Kino

Only if you're fucking up with the time even further. It has been stated that BOTW happens at the very least 10 thousand years after any other Zelda game.

>botw references OOT/WW/SS/so on
>botw is the end of the timeline, botw2 is the start of the timeline
>The zelda franchise is a timeloop, forced to repeat over and over and over

I think timeline in Zelda games is very loose as I doubt devs give a damn about it while making the games, but I do think they said there's a significance to why BotW link isn't left handed.
Thinking about "sword talking to Zelda" and this I'm wondering now if they planned this to be part of original game and screpped it because releasing it was already so far behind the schedule they scrapped the entire second part. would explain low number of bosses and such a weak final boss.

No one knows how long after SS Oot happend.
For all we know it could have been 30.000 years.

>Reusing scrapped concepts

If this game is meant to be a bit darker, assuming the article in meant that, do you think they'll reuse those scrapped horrific-looking guardian concepts?

Wich game has an army of guardians, 4 divine beats, a zelda and the hero at the same time ganging up on ganon?

I’m thinking May 21, 2021. They would’ve said 2020 if they thought that Holiday 2020 was possible, but they clearly don’t want another delay situation. It might get another trailer at the next E3, but I think a Zelda Direct late 2020/early 2021 would be perfect.

As for a hardware revision, I do think it would come out earlier than the game. Summer 2020 is the latest I could see it being released because otherwise they’ll have to compete immensely with the other consoles in the holiday season. Earlier release would guarantee that more people get it, while still having some sway during the holidays.

This image is actually disturbing with this context.

Monolithsoft corruption took a hold into BotW
Paya was doomed from the moment she got silver hair.

Melias hair is more bluish but I guess it’s equivalent

Zelda, Fiora, and Mythra are all blonde

I think it's gonna be late 2020.
The Engine is all there, clearly they're a decent amount into Dev if they have a story outlined and worked on, cutscenes made and not look like shit.
They're reusing assests and locations.
I think 2021 if it's delayed at some point but 2020 seems to make more sense.

switch their faces, post results

If this is out next year before Geoff's show, people are gonna be pissed.

None, but that's just backstory.
The game mentions the Hero of Time and the Hero of Twilight, putting it after the other games.

I really hope nintendo don't make the npcs in this game look and act goofy like in botw. If they're going for a dark theme npcs like in botw would look off imo. Only MM had goofy characters as well so idk. Just want cooler npc character desu like in dark souls

Attached: 1552563777559.png (864x720, 533K)

I'm down for either late 2020 or anytime 2021 as long as the game is good.
They can reuse a lot of assets and good thing this time is that they are developing for Switch only so they can optimise it better, they are obviously putting some old concept art ideas to use and they cashed in hard on BotW so they are probably more confident in making this new type of Zelda game now.

Have higher resolution version of that, user.

>disregarding backstory

Was the calamity of 10000 years ago in botw stated to be after hero of time or twilight or only the events of 100 years ago?

I don't like you v

>can't read

>The zelda in BOTW doesn’t do combat, she only does research.
This just proves her significance even more. Ya see, there’s this thing called character development.

She matured into KAREN.

> like in dark souls

fuck off reddit

Huh? I'm not disregarding it, I'm just saying those events aren't a Zelda game because they're part of the game's backstory. It's like the Hyrule Civil War in OOT, why would we get a game about that, or the Great Flood in WW?

play mm

no gerudo link, no buy

Majora's Mask was either a false world created by Skull Kid or Link's subconscious depending on how you interpret it. Using that as evidence of aliens in the series is weak as fuck, they might as well be an easter egg. I will never accept it.

$1.02

i know its a dreamland
its on the artbook

but play mm

But this is the zelda in BOTW 2!
