Found myself going "Hot damn" at about the level I'd expected from that gameplay reveal. Someone also noted that the first scene they were at looked strikingly similar to this piece of artwork
The way they described the horseback riding sounds similar to how Shadow of the Colossus handled it. Hell, it looked like it too. Also, I'm glad the whole "Bullet time horse vaulting" thing from the E3 reveal is a gameplay element.
As for the narrative, clearly we still have nothing, but the sailcloth and the fact that Link seems to be right-handed makes me wonder if there are SS connections.

Link's gender has never been important to the plot in any game, if they make him a woman after thirty years, it will probably be played as significant to the detriment of the plot, and thus the game as a whole. I was okay with the idea of female Link so long as it was never addressed as significant until what happened to Thor.
I love Nintendo but I'm not sure even they could cater to the SJWs in a way that wouldn't leave a foul taste in my mouth.
In short, **** people who think Link's gender matters at all.
Spoiler:
Ironically, including myself, as a result of seeing what this sort of transformation can do to a franchise!
Originally posted by Sacred 117Thor 1 is... A mess. It was physically painful to read, anvilicious, redundant, and it shat all over Thor himself, as well as Odin, to make Girl!Thor's picking up the hammer more significant. Because girls can be heroes too. Did you know that? Because apparently all of the female super heroes that already exist don't count, it only matters when they dethrone an existing male superhero. If you want Female Link, play Metroid.
How'd that negatively impact Thor (assuming that's what you meant)? I never read that.
I could rant for literal days about how much I hate what needless changes like that do to quality franchises, but I won't. This thread is for Zelda. Yay Zelda.
I'm excited, the game looks gorgeous, and the wild animals and shit like horses make me think it'll feel really alive, something most open world games fail at.
