I'm involved in the development of the next mainline Zelda game. Ask me anything.
Is it trans inclusive
>>723929390No. It's obviously apolitical on paper, but in reality it's traditional values as always. Don't expect any changes of that sort.
Will Chumbawamba compose the soundtrack?
>>723929754No
Bump
>uhh I'm totally a leaker give me attentionNo.
>>723934796But I am though. I have tons of info. Too much to post it all.
my uncle works at nintendo and he says you're lying
>>723934796Wait a minute. Mr. Boss only has three fingers and a thumb on each hand
>>723929172How many cocks have you sucked today?
>>723929172Do you have any proof of your claim or arr you just another uncreative troll?
Will Tingle return?
unironically though if monolithsoft doesn't have a larger role than "assisting with topographical arrangements" in terms of development then i have no interest in the next game
>>7239291722d or 3d?
>>723929172Why are you involved in the development of the next mainline Zelda game?
>>723936731No
>not a single non ironic postLooks like /v/ actually has no gamers left...
>>723936731I mean I'm assuming no. Obviously I don't know yet because if he did appear it could be in a small role we haven't developed yet. But the tone of the game is very serious so it's unlikely. The Japanese like that character for very specific reasons so we wouldn't change him to make him less over the top. I just don't see him fitting. No one has even discussed it as far as I know.
>>723929172Are you actually going to give him magic tits this time like everyone wants, or pussy out and stick with crossdressing?
>>723929172How many cocks do you suck a day?
>>723929172how many slutty woman outfits Link will have? and how many will you add to the game?
>>723929172Are you gay?
>>723929172I am your supervisor and you're fired.
I'm still taking real questions btw.
>>723942053ahhh dang it, i can't go back to rockstar
>>723942262sure i'll bite, whats the main theme or central focus experience
>>723937958OP hasn't come up with that part of the lore yet
>>723942325The central focus experience is water. Link has gills now and transitioning to swimming is seamless. By default Link swims as fast as he moves on land so it's buttery smooth. But after the first main quest you actually become faster and more agile in the water, and water becomes your main tool for traversal and exploration in the main "domain" of the game which is called Unttam. Unttam is a country east of Hyrule with alien biomes that have a huge focus on different types of water. The main technologically advanced tribe in this game are called the Ocean Zora and they're actually enemies. Their gear is called diluvian gear. There's a new giant boss enemy called the diluge gleeok that's inspired by the gleeok from phantom hourglass. You can explore underwater and use your powers underwater. Etc.
>>723942262this is real question >>723941715answer it
>>723942598>>723942756Oh wait I guess that's the main gimmick, not the "central focus experience". I think what you're asking is basically if it focuses on exploring new lands like Breath or sandbox shit like in Tears right? It's actually both in this game.
>>723942756i was thinking wind waker 2 as an evolution of breath. wishful thinking anon
>>723929172Romance?
>>723943091not the larper but never give it up
>>723929172Will it be more like Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask?
>>723943010There is a "great sea" like area in this game in between Hyrule and Unttam but it's pretty empty. There are six domains but they're all basically side content besides Unttam. Hyrule is almost exactly the same as it was in Tears, and it's for relaxing, doing minigames and sandbox shit in a relatively peaceful area. The Depths which is basically for if you want a land based survival experience. The Remnants which is like a bottomless ocean beneath the depths with a ceiling and upside down cities. It's where the Ocean Zora are from and there are secret dungeons there that you need to find maps for in other domains. The sky which now has solid clouds and floating rivers instead of Zonai islands. The sea which is for underwater sandbox shit near the shores or if you want a water based survival challenge you can linger in the stretches between Unttam and Hyrule where pirates and sea monsters will target you. And Unttam which is made up of entirely new assets and is bigger than Hyrule, but that's mostly because you can move so much faster in this game. Unttam has all the exploration, memories, shrines, and main dungeons. Since all of them besides Unttam are from the previous game or are mostly empty that leaves most of the development time free for the actual meat of the game.
>>723929754This guy's asking the important questions>>723930027This guy got knocked down but didn't get up againThey're always going to knock him down
>>723943091We have not started writing the story yet but we do know it will involve the Ancient Hero and Ancient Princess. Idk if they're an item though because right now in the concept art she's just a young teenager and he's fully grown. Btw, she kind of looks like a 14 yo BotW Zelda but with blue eyes, a tan, and some floral pattern body paint on her arm. She's wearing a black and green dress. The Ancient Hero looks like he does in Tears but much taller, with proportions more similar to Rauru than Link.
>>723943208Majora's Mask. Most of the "Diluge" stuff is creepy and it's overall a little gloomier than Tears was.
nintendo never expand on things so there no way it could be zoras
>>723929172why my peepee sneeze?
>>723944297Different Zora. These ones are mostly black and sparkly, with predatory features. The tougher ones also have octopus tentacles coming out of the back of their head. Some have Angler fish faces, some have shark faces.
>>723943896Items and dungeon status?
>>723929172are there actual dungeons or is it more ubisoft slop
>>723944732>itemsI'm not sure what kind you mean, because there are a lot of things that could be called items. Don't expect the return of dungeon items as they were in old Zelda. You still have powers instead. However there are grappling hooks now that you can swing on, and they use the bow slot.>dungeonsRight now we're still finishing up the first one, which is an Ocean Zora prison deep in the Remnants. It's the tutorial area and instead of receiving help from a ghost you have to ask other prisoners for help. The other prisoners are emaciated, slowly dying Ocean Zora. Also there's a special Ocean Zora jailer enemy who mocks and jeers at Link who sometimes accidentally gives him useful information, like how to climb. He's a pretty easy miniboss halfway through the dungeon. But the dungeon is actually quite hard for a Zelda game. Harder than any dungeon in Tears. All the new content in this game is harder than Tears.Anyway the vibe of this one is a bleak, dark dank leaky stone jail with fungus and vines. It has some Ocean Zora tech that serve various functions. Ocean Zora Tech looks like smooth rounded stainless steel coverings broken up into multiple thin pieces that assemble over matte black innards and is held together by magic water. The pieces have some give to them, kind of like Rauru's glue, and they leak when they bend or stretch apart. In this dungeon you'll be forced to eat moss and mushrooms off the floor to survive. Once you bust out all the Ocean Zora who helped you will swim away to other areas of the remnants.
>>723945741>Right now we're still finishing up the first one, which is blabladid you even sign an NDA? this shit is not believable at all.
>>723945991I did but they will never catch me lol. Why do you think I'm typing this way? It's so they don't recognise any of my tells. You do know every leaker is breaking nda right?
>>723945741>powersDroppedAny weapon shenanigans?Is it just botw garbage again?fist/claw status?
>>723946764Are you just humoring him or did you actually fall for this?
>>723946996Let the man spin his tale you colossal faggotLearn to have some fun
kid link or twink link
>>723929172what's your salary?what work do you actually do?
>>723946764>droppedWhy do you hate fun mr grinch?>any weapon shenanigansHow can I tell you if I don't know what you mean?>breath BADWhy? You never give any reasons. And why are you asking about the next Zelda as if you don't already know it will be modern Zelda?>fist/clawNo. There are nunchuck adjacent thingies and whips. The nunchuck things are called nunchucks, but they aren't. They're like two long metal rods with a "chain" made of magic water that can change length. It's sort of a ranged weapon.
>>723947261I dont want to scavenge weapons I want cool weapons that dont break after 3 swingsSurely you could figure this one outAlso items were cool, wishy wooshy powers are lame
>>723947153It's the same Link from Breath and Tears, except he's slightly bigger and his muscles are more well defined. That mostly has to do with the artstyle becoming more advanced though. He still doesn't have nipples though because we thought people would ask too many questions if he suddenly did. This game is meant to be a sendoff for Link and Zelda. After that we will create new faces for the series.
>>723929172What would it take for you to suicide?
>>723947415Oh shit I meant a sendoff for THIS VERSION of Link and Zelda.
>>723947261Nta. So is the plan for every game moving forward to just tack on the world from the old one regardless of the resources refurbishing content that most players are going to gloss over since they've seen it already takes up?Wasn't exactly stunned with totk's exploration, since I already played botw. Already knew the landmarks. Not exploring a new land, more so revisiting an old beat and seeing what's changed. Sky islands were barren(wasted potential, with them leaning more towards skyward sword islands rather than full fledged wind water style islands). And the depths were just a mirror of the overworld(incredibly dissapointing when I realized) caves were nice, not enough differentiation in the end to prevent the average from being too samey. Story was terrible. Especially the sheikah tech and ancient sheikah in general getting all but clapped out of history beyond a single fucking banner. Oh so is there potential for some continuity in that regard? Maybe even bringing back some ruins from botw.
>>723947397Well I'm sorry to hear that because most fans rather like this system, including us. However I'm sure the 2D guys will still make things your way the next time they do a spinoff or remaster.>items were coolYou know we have more items nowadays by a longshot than in the old games right? And they can each be used in any situation you want, unlike in the old games where they were pretty much just keys that only worked where the devs thought of it. But again if you like that style I don't think Nintendo is abandoning it altogether, it just won't be used for the big ones anymore.>powers lameWhy though?
>>723947067Sorry, I didn't mean it like that. Have a good night fellas.
I know theyre gonna crash and burn the next mainline zelda anon, give some info on what the hell is nintendo doing with the animal crossing team, are they shitting the bed over there too?
>>723929172are we finally getting a proper Zelda and Link romance? With handholding and perhaps even, if I may be so bold, kissing
>>723947653>is the plan just to tack on new stuff to the same world every time from now onNo, this is the very last time probably. It's for sure the last time we're seeing this version of Hyrule. The main reason we brought it back is because some people were annoyed we never got to explore underwater in Hyrule while we got to know every inch otherwise like the back of our hands. Then the idea grew off of that. The game is called Master of the Nation, partly because the player has already mastered this entire landmass. After beating the tutorial you end up on the west side of Hyrule, and you go on one last epic quest to get the Purah Pad from Zelda in Hateno, before swimming to Unttam. The player is expected to explore all the rivers and lakes as they make their way across Hyrule this last time, and to say goodbye to all your friends if you don't intend on coming back. And you don't have to. You can just spend the entire game in Unttam if you want. You technically don't even have to get the Purah Pad, you just can't teleport back to Hyrule without it. Also once you do get it, it instantly unlocks teleport locations all across Hyrule and the depths. We're aware that not everyone will buy this game with the intention of spending a lot of time in Hyrule, it's just there for relaxation. Think of the whole country as one big player home. Also Unttam is very difficult, so Hyrule is a good place for trying random sandbox shit without having to worry about enemies or bad weather.
>>723947662Because its not about flinging yourself across the gap, its about using a cannon firing a metal spike or claw attached to a chain at speeds that would reasonably tear your arm offIts the same conept as a laser beam vs a loud ass gunshot, its the feeling, the impact, behind the second one that makes it satisfyingId take the hand thing if it were more like Byrnes mecha claws hand thing, since its kinda bothThe powers in botw/totk also didnt really have combat application that old items had, sure most of them were just "Use item to make enemy vulnerable" but it felt satisfyingAlso because of the way health scaling works in botw/totk, bombs start off powerful and end up useless, the whole damage system feels awkward and bloated, the more simple style from older games just worked better imo
>>723947653>story was terribleReally? I liked it...>continuityWell we're not allowed to worry about things like lore and story until later in development(when the game is almost finished) so I can't really speak on that. But I can tell you that we don't really care about continuity and will more than likely just ignore it like always. I'm sorry if you were expecting something else, but this world is supposed to feel less like a movie. There will still be shiehkah tech like the Purah Pad and ancient arrow heads, and there will still be Zonai tech but only in the depths. I'm sure the ancient Shiekah will be important in the memories though because we're pretty sure they're going to focus on that era. But like I said we haven't even really started adding in any story yet.
>>723947840I personally hope so. You have no idea how much I want this.
>>723942756That's just Waterworld
>>723947840This but maybe some other girlI don't hate zelda but in most games she really isn't the best choice, especially not current zeldaBoth Paya, Mipha and now Purah are just more charming
>>723938815>But the tone of the game is very serious so it's unlikely.you realise he debuted in majora's mask right
>>723948136Like everything in the new games, it's all about making your own fun rather than experiencing just what the devs created for you. The things that you're talking about, punchy combat, hitstop, flashy animations, they get in the way of immersion. It's more reminiscent of watching a movie than we want it to be. That's why animations are kept simple, fast and clean, and can always be interrupted. We have grappling hooks instead of hookshots because you can actually do more fun things with the former, whereas the latter is more about pushing 1 button and watching a cutscene. Swinging and climbing can allow the player to do virtually anything in the air. Hookshots are more or less a short teleport.
>>723948874True. Maybe I'm wrong about him.
>>723942262When can we expect an announcement; generally speaking?
>>723948098>Master of the Nationbullshit
Welp, if it really is more open world 'play it YOUR way!' slop I won't buy itIts interesting for the first couple of hours and then it just gets aggressively boringI didnt even end up finishing totk, I just couldnt be bothered after seeing the last dungeon
If breakable weapons are returning, I'm skipping this game and definitely swearing off the Switch 2.
>>723948981Unironically, soon. It's not up to me when it's announced but we're actually ahead of schedule. They weren't lying when they said development would be more efficient from now on. One thing I won't leak is what we're actually doing to make it faster, because I don't want to risk other companies finding out. They already put out way too much slop. I'm specifically talking about Sony. Yes, I'm a loyal good boy for Nintendo somewhat.
>>723949118I'm sorry you feel that way.>>723949179I mean I don't want to start an argument, but how hard is it just to try new weapons when what you have breaks?
>>723929172OK faggot, I'll bite.I read posts from some purported leaker here before that claimed the biome in the new game was "alien", but that guy said the new game was all about altering the landscape and let you dig out terrain like Red Faction, which is a far cry from the waterworld you're talking about. I think some of these differing leaker stories might be things that were made up by higher-level executives and given to lower-level employees to try to find who the leakers are by monitoring the internet. But if you're for real, why won't you bring back more classic items? We need a musical instrument again. And if we're really going with the tech again can we finally just have a fucking gun?>>723949489>how hard is it just to try new weapons when what you have breaksBecause that sucks. If you have to have a durability system then at least give us a fucking way to repair weapons, or a special weapon class that's much tougher than the others.
>>723949489Because I want to keep a weapon I like, and I don't want to use it like ammo, especially if there's actual ammo with your bow using arrows. And going by your 'leaks', they decided to double down on that and force you to use your weapons as ammo. This is the one thing I believe the next game will do. They're hellbent on keeping this style of gameplay after BotW succeeded the way it did.
no one involved with zelda is going to post on this indian infested shithole, go back to making AI porn of your classmates ranjeet
crossbows plz?
>>723942262Will digging be in this game? This is something that I've been missing in Zelda is the ability to use a shovel. There could even be little treasure hunts.
Is Malon on the game????
I dont want to gather a whole inventory of weapons I like just because they snap in half after 10 swings, it makes the hoarder mentality so much fucking worseThere is not a single person who said good things about this, in fact, all ive seen is complaints about this very system, and they fucking knew, because taping horns to your sword buffs durabilityThey are perfectly aware nobody likes this system
>>723929172is it a sweet baby inc. production, or is it another nip-demon infused production?
Never mind weapon durability, that's obviously staying. What's the combat like and are there new weapons to use?
>>723949627>why won't you bring back more classic itemsWe just don't want to. The old games are still available. There's NSO and remasters every other year. We prefer to stretch our creative muscles. Gosh knows no one else is doing so.>can we have a gunNo.>a way to repair itemsThat isn't fun though, it's annoying as hell. And it will encourage players to waste time worrying over item condition and also never try anything new.
>>723950230The most looked up glitch is infinite durabilityRight now people just hoard good weapons and use up whatever is the shittiest in their inventory, you dont encourage experimentation by making your tools limited use, if anything that just makes people NOT use those tools
How long is you're penis?
>>723950230>That isn't fun thoughIs it any less fun than seeing "your Sword of Ultimate Niggerdeath broke" every 5 seconds? You say we're supposed to play these games our way, but what if our way includes a preferred weapon type, as it does in almost every game?
>>723949627Post that thread with the other leak.
>>723949712>that picYou're the one with the problem bro. Everyone else is telling you that it's fun. Do you think they're lying? Do you think that they think they're having fun but they're not and they can't tell? Why are you frustrated as if we've done something wrong? And like I told you they're still going to make the type of games you like as spinoffs. So it seems like you just don't want other people to enjoy this type just because you can't, and that's sad.>>723949806Nah. If it's any consolation you can shoot bows underwater.>>723949893There's voxel technology for the sand in Unttam but it only goes down so far. You can dig with explosions. Also there's a windy dune area where the lakes and dunes are constantly changing shape based on the wind.
>>723947458Will link use his green tunic again?
>>723950576If you want people to try new weapons, then put different enemy types into the game that call for them instead of artificially forcing weapon switching on them by having it so your weapons have the durability of cream cheese.
>>723950576>Everyone else is telling you that it's fun. Do you think they're lying?Frequently yes. But also: >>723950429Everyone else is clearly telling you this part isn't fun as evidenced by how many people are looking up unlimited durability glitches.>>723950514Sorry, I lost it.
>>723949931Nope, she's dead. Remember in Breath of the Wild how Lon Lon Ranch was just an ancient ruin?>>723949949They like it. You just spend time in echo chambers, which is everywhere on the internet right now. In fact I have said on /v/ multiple times that I loved the system and other anons have agreed with me. Maybe you weren't around, that was years ago. As for your hoarder mentality, don't blame us. The game is specifically designed to encourage you to kick that habit. And it's a bad habit in every game, but no more so this one. If you insist on hoarding, it's your fault you're not having fun. Because you KNOW that's not a fun thing to do in Zelda.>>723949984It's quite conservative like always.>>723950185Combat is much faster and it emphasises fighting on three fronts, land sea and air. You switch between them seamlessly and you can do all your moves no matter what "mode" you're in. The "modes" I mean are on the ground, swimming, mid air, and diving. Though diving has it's own plunge move instead of a charge attack. Link can get up after being knocked down faster. He can jump farther. It's not movement based in the traditional sense, it's more so the player is given the opportunity to adapt no matter what situation Link is in, as long as you think fast.
>>723929537got any fucking proof fagballs?Once you post any formn of proof idfc what.Give us a loose plot summary.. if we get new a new Link and Zelda or the BotW/TotK pair.If its in hyrule or a foreign land.the main gimmick.>>723929754fucking who?
>>723950576Will new races appear or is it just Zoras? Any of the old established races like Oocoos, Mogmas, Parellas (pic related), ect?
>>723934910How would you have access to such information
>>723942756calling absolute bullshit.But seeing the home land of Sidon's wife would be very cool.Why in the fuck is Link summoned to Unttam then? What's the reason to travel there?
So let's recap:>No weapon repair or any other system that might help weapons stay usable, despite overwhelming consensus among players that this system sucks>No guns despite the high tech level compared to the older games>Not even a crossbow for goddesses' sakeCan't really see myself buying this, sorry.
>>723943667You are trying way too hard anon>the world map is TotK but even more sjit in all 3 levels>PLUS a big sprawling ocean>PLUS a fuck huge second continentmajor larp.
>>723948694beat me to itbut is it really waterworld if you dont get to drink your own filtered piss?
>>723951289I fucking hope it's a LARP. This fag is literally just lying to us about what we want. Approximately 6 gorillion people told them to change the weapon system, so if this is real it's unbelievably epic fail.
>>723951070Bro I've been doing that this whole time lol.>>723951097Yep there are new races! Fun fact about the races in Unttam, they don't know what a hero is but they have heard of Hylians before. The main mission statement is to help these people take back their country from the Ocean Zora, and basically civilise them. Of course, Nintendo will not publicly admit that last part because you know why bro. One of the races is a new kind of korok who gives varying amount of seeds depending on how hard he is to get. Then there are some Eskimo dudes who are kind of like the anouki. And there are things I like to call Dig Dogs who are like the mogma except they're freaking huge and creepy looking. They're innocent people but they're very dangerous because they scare easy and when they get scared they thrash around aimlessly which can ragdoll Link and take a huge chunk of health.
What about vehicles? If this is supposed to be a water world, are we going to have a boat, or maybe a submarine? How about a jet ski? Missile cruiser? Water creature?
>>723949712what fucking damn weapon could your sad arse be so attached to? Lynel shit?Just kill more things it's not hard.FFS anything with a durability buff lasts a good while, especially royal knight weapons, lynel, etc. Plus TotK let's you further boost durability via fusion.Stop getting emotionally attached to a sword.
>>723950658How does that align with our design philosophy? We're not going to force someone to change weapons because of type weakness. Do you not like thinking for yourself? Or do you just not understand our design philosophy?>>723950745This is /v/. It's constant shilling here. Talking to actual people, including test groups, indicates that you're wrong. I've already explained to you why we use this system. People have been explaining it to you for years here on /v/. Now they're sick of repeating themselves but you're still here trying to convince us to stop making games the way people like. Even though I just told you we're still making games the way you like too. Do you hate other people? Stop trying to convince us they don't exist and wait your turn. They didn't complain when we gave you Echoes of Wisdom. Because they're actually mature, unlike you.>>723951194The reason is because that's where the game is. Like I said we didn't write the story yet. We know obviously that Link is going to save npcs from the Ocean Zora because the Ocean Zora are the enemies and they appear there.Sorry I'm getting a little frustrated.
>>723929537will it be open world?
>>723951289The Ocean is mostly empty bro. There are a couple islands and a barren sea floor. Only around the shores is there actual content. Crossing the sea is just meant to be a challenge because of how many enemies will swarm you. It's basically just a quest objective, not a fully fleshed out new area for exploration. As for the remnants, that's also basically empty and you only go there if you find a map that tells you where something is down there. The only domain that took up a serious amount of development time was Unttam.
>>723951730>We're not going to force someone to change weapons because of type weakness. But you'll force them to change weapons because they're made of chinesium? What kind of design philosophy is that? In real medieval warfare, different types of weapons were used against different types of armor and different formations. The reason people want it to be that way is because that actually makes sense, and because constantly having to find a new weapon is inconvenient and unfun. And no, absolutely nobody has been telling me they like this system. I've heard nothing but negative reviews of it.>including test groupsI'd love to know who they found for these "test groups".
>>723951097parellas are just ancient zora.they'll never return anon.>>723951406you've posted no proof anon.just asseted things.post a nintendo badge with censored name. or something.>>723951379BotW sells thousands a week to this day, as does TotK.Both are well over 20mil units sold.The people upset with weapon durability is a small fraction of those who have played them and such remarks have done nothing to impact the success of either game.You are full of shit and damn well know it anon, most are fine with it because we aren't sad sacks making emotion bonds with a digital sword.And before you reply, no I'm not saying 'sold lots = gud', I'm saying that after 8+ years of you fags whining every day about this is has done jack shit to harm the games' reputation in any manner. Reality is just against you here.Now personally! I'd be completely fine with the game giving us the option of having a Sword, Axe, Spear, and maybe gauntlets as a starter weapon.There is no durability and each has a decently expended moveset, then by playing the game you unlock higher tiers of the first weapon you choose, or can find the basic versions of the other weapons + their higher replacement tiers.But I'm not act like the world is ending if such doesn't happen.
>>723951289The sky is basically empty too. It's for sandbox stuff in an area without a ground, which does make a difference. And being able to come up to water from underneath also adds new possibilities for sandbox shit.>>723951828Yes>>723951597There are vehicles. There is an Ocean Zora equivalent to ecery Zonai Device as well as new devices obviously, but some of the new Ocean Zora devices are vehicles themselves. There's this giant hovering triple swordfish thing that goes pretty fast. If you attach a vehicle to a creation it will provide thrust like a normal device and it can also be used as a control stick. You can of course glue several vehicles to the same thing and it'll still work.
>>723951730If Ocean zora are the main enemies, this implies you kill them no?So how does THAT work?Is this a Yiga cop out situation?Deal [x] damage then they give up and run away dropping zora scales/teeth plus rupees?I don't see Nintendo allowing them to become actual corpses.What about other monsters?Are Iron Knuckles/Darknuts finally back? Deku Scrubs? I assume the clam cunts from OoT/Mm are back in yes? The lightning jelly fish too? MM's Sea serpents?Big octos?New enemies?also to be fair, EoW is a mix of old 2d zelda plus BotW design as well, given the summons/menuing plus free form action.There are people who want a solid more currated structure back.It's not a bad thing, Nintendo should take that advice seriously.
>>723951912>no one has told me they like itI'm telling you that I like it, so you're wrong.>>723952007>post proofWhy throw away my job over this?
>>723950230>That isn't fun though, it's annoying as hell.This is the problem with modern Nintendo. You guys are so out of touch with what people actually want and instead build games for yourselves and then get mad when people have criticisms, or have fun in ways that were originally not intended by the devs. Nu-zelda is uninspired copy paste garbage. BOTW ruined the franchise.
what will be the excuse/reason for Link to lose the Master Sword; again, and be completely depowered/weakened in this game?Surely this much is considered too yes?
>>723952175interesting a lot of people hated Wind Waker cus of the ocean stuff. I personally enjoyed it but might be very hit or miss.
>>723952292What's so great about this system, honestly? I'd rather have a smaller number of weapons that are persistent and have more developed mechanics associated with them. The chief problem with it, to me, is that since you can't stay with a single weapon indefinitely, you can't develop your skills with that weapon, and part of the reason to play a game is to develop those skills so you can feel like a badass when you take down a tough enemy using your favored weapon after practicing with it a lot.
>>723952376He gets fucked by two moblins and made him prostate orgasm so hard he is loses his powers.>t. Official leaker
>>723952342>You guys are so out of touch with what people actually want and instead build games for yourselves and then get mad when people have criticisms,BotW is at nearly 30mil anon.TotK is something like 24mil or higher.Odyssey is what? 20mil?Astral Chain a brand new IP with an unusual control style hit 1mil in a month and near 2mil.ARMS is 2-3mil.Animal Crossing new horizons is 25mil? more?Mario Kart World is near 6mil.I'm sure DK Bananza is at least at 2 if not 3mil by now.Pikmin4 is at like 3mil or higher.Luigui's Mansion3 is over 10mil.Dread is the highest selling Metroid at 3mil.The only one out of touch is infact you.Consumers are saying they highly enjoy and anticipate Nintendo's products.Just because (you) hate it doesn't mean everyone does, nigger faggot.Plus the devs of BotW talk endlessly of being both surprised and impressed by how fans find inventive unusual solutions of the puzzles.WTFH are you on about?Dumbarse.
>>723952007>gauntletsBased, I want a slightly unhinged fast combat style, almost akin to the beast claw from the ER dlc, but actually functional this timeJust weaponized ANGER
>>723952215>you kill themYes. They explode like monsters too. Some of them even make the Master Sword glow.>Nintendo wouldn't allow them to become actual corpsesIt's not a big deal. They're considered monsters. Kind of like the 2D Zora, only cooler.>dark nutsThere are big ass knights but I don't know if they're supposed to be dark nuts or phantoms. I never asked. They're like the Lynel of Unttam.>clam cuntsThat's a maybe.>jellyfishYes but they're not electric. They have ink powers. It's technically the Diluge Octorok but it looks like a tall jellyfish standing on the ground with it's tentacles.>serpentsOnly the Diluge Gleeok. There are sharks though.I want you to know that Peahats make a return. There's also these green screaming ape things that get mad when you use grappling hooks in the forest. They can climb on any surface like Link.>EoW was a mixThat's fair. I'm not a part of the 2D team so it's not up to me what goes on there.
>>723952427How high are you atm anon?OoT and Mm had incredibly fucking basical combat.3-4 types of slashes and a shield to block.There was basically nothing at all to learn about these games combat wise, you grasp it all by the time Gohma dies.WW and TP added some depth, which was good, but it was just contextual button prompts really. You didn't have combo strings or shit to parse.Not calling it bad, but you are way over selling the combat in this series.
>>723952705NTA but TP was the best iteration of thisYou could use any move at any time and they all had clear uses and looked fucking coolThe charged sword strike was the sickest way to start combat in the cave of trials
>>723952671>I want you to know that Peahats make a return.Super fucking based if true.I like them a lot.>screaming ape thingsHow different are they from horriblins exactly?
Regardless of your opinion on the weapon durability issue, it would take only a few minutes to introduce a mechanic into the game that would satisfy both parties, so I don't get why there's so much resistance to that.>>723952669Like this. Literally just let us punch people and not lose durability. Just that simple change would satisfy a ton of complaints and would be hardly any effort to implement.
>>723947840>>723948670it's never happening because Zelda was specifically designed to birth bokoblin babies only
>>723952778I'm not disagreeing. TP had a very engasging and satisfying combat design.Mortal Draw. Helmsplitter, Finishing Blow, etc.All really great and feels good to use.The next Zelda really should have a few speciality moves.But equally.The combat isn't deep, it's not complex. It's easy to grasp and figure out. Which isn't even bad or poor design., but let's not act like Zelda is anything like DMC, Bayonetta, or Ninja Gaiden. Even most Monster Hunters/etc have more complex combat.Again not a bad thing, but let's stay honest.
Why explore if what youre gonna find is gonna break in 10 swings?
723952887>posted it again awardfind a new script nigger.
>>723952860>start with handwraps>slowly upgrade to iron gaunlets, silver, goldand while were at it, add the secret saucehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Te8JaWMP_E
>>723952887>why shower if you're just gonna get dirty again?>why sleep if you're just going to wake up again>why eat if you're just going to get hungry again
>>723952376It's actually not considered yet. That's just how we do things. Gameplay and quest design first, story later. We did decide that Link starts the game imprisoned in the remnants by the Ocean Zora, and we decided that already because it's important for the quest design. We worry about the how and why later. I'm not even a writer so I couldn't even tell you what they'll probably do.>>723952412You only have to cross the sea one time (as long as you got the Purah Pad first) so I'm sure people who don't like the ocean can look past it.>>723952427You can develop your skills, just not linearirly. I'm sorry it's not your cup of tea bro. I wish I could make it so everyone was happy.
>>723953002I suppose you use the Giant's Knife for your Stalfos-fighting needs.
>>723952884I dont think anyone ever claimed as much, the closest it came to depth was skyward and it really was just waiitng for an enemy to commit then slash in that directionHonestly the took the parry shit from dark souls and implemented it in a shit way, the dodge is objectively superior in every wayWhat they should do is just take what lies of P did, timed blocks is a far better system no matter how you slice itGet it right? you knock them off balanceGet it wrong, you still block the hit
>>723953023You know what, man, just give us a gauntlet weapon class that doesn't lose durability and some boxing moves and I promise I'll STFU about this permanently. You already have to make the models for them anyway, so you might as well get some more use out of them.
>>723953002The better comparison would be driving to the gas station to buy gas, which you then use to drive to another gas station
>>723952782>how different from HorriblinsThey're bigger, louder, scarier, and faster. Plus their climbing is actually based on physics. And the creepiest thing about them is when they get to your grappling hooks they don't unhook it, they climb down the damn thing like a tightrope to get to you. I just find it creepy how nimble they are despite their size. I admit they're similar to horriblins, but they're higher level enemies and they come in larger numbers.
>>723952887You can copy the properties of any object or surface which can increase durability btw. Just copy a diamond and it'll last a little longer. That's one of the new powers. It replaces Fuse.
>>723952969that was such a bloody fantastic weapon it's unreal.very mad we never got shit like it in a main zelda.>>723953182assuming you are truthful.sounds rad.now make sure a gauntlet weapon type is in the game since dev is still early.add in sand rod too while you are at it.as for plot shit i;m aware nintendo deals with that stuff last so fair at least.is there a loosely planned number of dungeons yet? 5? 8? 10?who/what is our main anatongist? king/queen ocean zora? some shadow ruler behind them?will we see sidon and his wife in this?
>>723953312how does the effect arrows then?
>>723953447Select glass and add it to arrows to make them splinter like SIMPLE GEOMETRY
Is it going to have the same level up system where you grind shrines to collect balls and level up stamina/health?
>>723953497and scanning fire makes fire arrows then?bit odd but fine.what about shields?
>>723950576>Shoot Bows underwater that better include using spears underwater
>>723944034Very nice, will keep an eye
Has there been any improvements or changes to the climbing mechanics?
>>723953414>add gauntletI don't want to be mean, but no. They wouldn't let me add an unbreakable weapon if I wanted to.>sand rodThat would actually have to be a power, not an item, considering how much that would change the game. It shouldn't be a limited resource if it lets you control our new sand which works by voxels. Little too late to add a new power. And if I ask them to, they might find out it was me leaking if they find this thread. It's a good idea though.>number of dungeons6 main ones, including the tutorial. And some smaller, secret ones in the remnants. We're doing no more than 8 of those.>who is the main antagonistThere is an Ocean Zora king, and he's fucking beautiful. He has this weird effect where all the water that touches him turns black and he's always dripping. But it's the kind of black water that only looks black at a certain amount of depth so when it's on him you can still see him. He has a shark like face and octopus tentacles that reach almost to the floor. There's this silver glitter effect on him too that looks sort of like stars. It's hard to explain but he's like beautiful in this weird way. Where it feels weird to think he's beautiful but you know he is.He might be the main bad guy but some people are talking about including Bellum.>Sidon and his wifeYes. They're actually part of the main quest in Hyrule. I mentioned getting the Purah Pad but there's actually two other parts. Getting the paraglider from Tulin and learning to swim good from Sidon and Yona. But you start out nearby Rito Village so it's no big thing and Zora's Domain isn't very far from Hateno so it's basically just two other stops on the same journey. They have obstacle courses and minigames to teach you how to swim better. You will need to get good at swimming to beat the game. Tulin has the same thing but for teaching about midair stuff. You have to beat Tulin in a minigame to even get the glider(or you can pay for it).
>>723953447The arrowheads are small physical objects now so they just do the same things the weapons do.>>723953497Bad anon, you're not me.>>723953541Yes but shrines are now storybooks or murals that let you enter another dimension themed around what is written. Another thing about shrines, all the Zonai shrines are gone(yes light roots no longer work either) but Purah built teleport pads nearby where most of them were.>>723953576Scan coal or wood that's on fire and you get a fire arrow.>>723953807Minor adjustments. You can go faster now and jump distance is farther. You can also slide down by holding B while moving forward.
>>723953576Oh right. So how it works is it copies the physical properties of any object or surface and applies that to whatever item you want. Like for example, if you copy ice to a sword, it will slowly melt in the sunlight, and will slip and slide on the ground if you drop it. For weapons and shields every material also comes with basic stat modifiers. But this ability works on any object in the game. You can use while holding an object with this game's version of Ultrahand. And this version of Ultrahand also has the power to change the size and dimensions of any object, so you can just build literally anything now.
No more question?
Not buying unless they somehow bring vaati into it, it sounds like shit
>>723956641Doesn't he kidnap maidens? Little teen ones?
Imagine being the Horriblin so horrible they had to name your whole species literally Horrible Bokoblin.
>>723956830So did ganon but he didnt get cancelled for it
>>723956894Vaati wanted to marry one. Even though he was just a ball with wings.
I’m sure it will be schizo Eric 10/10 paid shills just build shit with no temples or plot or side quest trash
>>723956516No more questions, thank you, you should leave.
Can you guys make it like your older ones which are much better in story, plot, and things to do and actually really everything to do besides an “open world” ?
Here’s a start. How about an actual side quest that’s interesting and gives you an item that’s rewarding that you guys used to do but just like Pokemon you keep selling your soul to Satan in a franchise based on Christianity
Also here’s another suggestion maybe don’t make a sky with nothing to do in it besides more shrines >which btw are all copy and pasted And an underground that’s only purpose is costumes and getting batteries.>which btw is also copy and pasted
>>723957162I still have more information though. I will make another thread later. I forgot to reply to this guy >>723950634 but I'm too tired to explain Link's new design atm. Just know that yes all his outfits from Tears are returning including Tunic of the Wild. But he has this cool new main outfit which I will describe next time.
>you mean put effort into our game instead of just cooking shit? YES
Reminder about what you're supposed to do to trolls. Do your part, make /v/ a better place.
>>723929172what's the themehow many enemieshow many dungeonswhen's it coming out
>>723957620ok, catching up on the threadwater sounds plausibleit's the last thing that botw/totk didn't do
Res lowers when you move. And distance reduced. You move faster and the world becomes a blur.You stop it's only close you see, the rest a mostly obsured sight, most mystery away untouchable.Slowly it's revealed as the engine bd hardware can make it and save it as spheres, to walk through again losing resolution.It takes a while before you can see much after stopping.The world is impressive beyond limits hardware could do for decades. It's full of life. The 2D spheres done the hardware used for effects and magic.All life people. But they have some animal traits. Vampires that have reached the state they rather take and give than hurt.They are hidden and found in speed.There they conjure places to get to, take them and you're there.Some unusual after getting used to it tombs where you aren't going into a blur to move.There they are sprites. Animated but not ambiently moving. Precise or still. Moving aure. Seen at any angle in detail. They the highlight of the tomb. Not much else. Like not much else matters inside.All outside.You get a key to give back which opens a door.Caverns turn into twmples. Temples turn into cities. The way back is any door opened with a key. Go as far as you require to find them and bring them back so the one who gave you the key can go out.It's a search, see from whatever vantage point you can get to, and fall for speed. Remember where they appeared and the rest that wasn't seen withbthem. Their position in it.Get to them.Out of crypts some can be found stopping when your heart is beating and you hear pleasant sounds.Take them to the crypt that suits them.If you get it wrong they are both gone.Gone then take the sketch you made of them into a place suiting their appearance.You cup your hands drink. Lightning leads you to where their lover is.There you sketch them and try to do better than before. Show them them and their lover. If it gets some of their prominent features right you get some time with THe prin
>>723947415Okay so it definitely has romance between Link and Zelda. They were literally living together in Tears. Do we see King Link at the end? Would love an epilogue that shows they have a daughter aka the new Zelda. It would be a nice sendoff to this generation of Link and Zelda. Honestly my dream DLC for Tears would've been a X3 style expansion with their daughter going after the spirit of the Blood Moon.How much time has passed since Tears? Are the villages in Hyrule different at all? Have Hyrule Castle and Castle Town been repaired?
cess and you prince, neither of you ever queen or king.
>>723929172lol no you're not
Will there be sex
