funny how they have problems trying to play the game on the show.
That made my day

Hopefully everything will work together nicely for it... It looks like it will hopefully be great when released.

Hmm. Does look a bit underwhelming right now.

Looks like it's unfinished. 😛 They've still worked a lot of neat stuff into it, and it appears some of the rumours are true. There might be flight, for example.

I'm impressed. A lot of new elements in the gameplay. I also believe I spied a sprinting feature. Finally.

What rumors?

I'll buy it because I do like Zelda games.

But I'll be surprised if it strays to far from the Zelda formula.

Oh, for sure I'll buy it. I was just hoping for a trailer that would amaze me. And it is indeed time for Zelda to try something new- say what you like about Metroid, but they are certainly tinkering.

At least it's not cel-shaded. But I won't care much about it until I see reviews. Only 1st party Nintendo franchise I care about now is Metroid.

I liked the scorpion boss, though.

I like the graphical appearance, I am really looking forward to this. 😄

They are certainly doing that.

This is is so far one of three places out of six different place that don't involve fans bitching about the graphical change like SoT fanboys on PoP '08. Sure it looks a bit campy, but the combo gives it better textures than TP and better-rendered character models than WW. Graphics have become the last thing I give a floater for unless they're either game-disabling or are just remarkably bad or unimpressive on a technical level (ie, Prototype).

Although I must say that I wonder if they'll work on giving Link different animations; it's beyond obvious that they're the exact same ones as TP Link's animations (not counting the remarkable similarity in appearance, but then again, let's not forget how many Toon Links there are).

I also kinda wished they showed the demo in a better way than just a square in the corner of the screen, but whatever...

Frankly, a part of me had been hoping from the very start that they'd delay the game's release regardless of how the game was gonna be, so I'm not surprised, nor particularly disappointed that they did. In the end you can only gain so much from a demo that doubles as an unveiling of a game that's built to be one of the console's flagship games. As for that technical interference midway through the demo, I think it's best to wait for the gaming sites to give their word on the demo lest we assume it's to be a consistent issue among the vast majority of copies.

Oh, and sprinting ftmfw

Agreed. ✅

Very underwhelming.

I do hope that future trailers offer more than this. I expect that they will. After all, it is just a teaser.

Also, is anyone else wondering why in the hell is Link still using the damn slingshot?

Maybe he just likes slingshots.

I'm more excited by the sword beam at any time than anything else. I always hated needing full health. Anyway, I think it looks good so far.
