WiiU

    I really hope they tighten up how the new Zelda looks... like, a lot. I appreciate the scale but even compared to last-gen games like Skyrim it's looking really plain in many areas and way short of the teaser shown a couple of years ago. Surprising considering that this is meant to be coming to Nintendo's next-gen NX. It's painfully obvious how fidelity and scale are holding back the gorgeous art direction in some places.

    Zelda is looking really flat. I want to see if it looks any different on NX or something, that has to be why it's not looking so hot, right? Like what happened with the water? Nintendo is really good at water! Some gameplay stuff seems not so great, too. I've never been a fan of equipment degradation, hopefully Nintendo can balance it well. The game could go either way with me in its current condition.

    Nintendo's response to the whole female protagonist thing is a bit disappointing. I'd be soo into a female Link or Linkle being in this game!

    Yeah I was hoping they'd go a bit more all-in with the choice of gender, complemented by plentiful outfit choices — that'd put it somewhere close to being more on par with other open-world RPGs. I'm a bit bored of a blonde git in a green (sometimes blue or red) tunic.

    I'm optimistic that the NX version will look better. This is all running on a Wii U so unless Nintendo has suddenly decided to throw their usual artistic brilliance out the window I expect that greater hardware will bring it closer to what we saw in 2014 (skip to final minute):

    That seems completely attainable to me with more polish.

    I might actually buy an NX just to get a better framerate

    This is definitely the Zelda game I've been the most hyped for since Wind Waker, they basically turned it into a lighthearted FarCry game, I love it! :D

    I am hoping to get a demo of Zelda tomorrow. It will be on WiiU but from watching others play it at the Nintendo booth today I have to say I am definitely interested to try it for myself. The demo lines for the masses were probably the longest of any game at the show.

    The line for Zelda was 4 hours long... fucking hell. I didn't play it but talked with a few people that did and the game is actually really good!

    It's definitely Zelda open world with RPG elements, and a lot of new stuff added, like jumping, gliding, crafting, cooking, etc. You can almost call this a survival RPG game. Everyone that stood in line played the game for 40 minutes, so weird they're showing so much of the game a year before the game is even out.
