Legend of Zelda Offical The Legend of Zelda Thread

All of these Unreal Zelda remake videos look so sterile and devoid of style to me.

That's not really a problem with the tech, but rather the unimaginative people making these things. For example, all these are Unreal 4 games as well:

I do realize that, but I was just specifying Unreal remakes since most of those things are being done in Unreal.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Yeah.
Zelda has its own unique style that can't be replicated or replaced.

The Legend of Zelda was previously scheduled for a Wii U-only release in 2016. Nintendo cites “further quality improvements” for the delay.


NX is due out for a global release in March 2017.




The new The Legend of Zelda will be the focus of Nintendo’s presence at E3 in Los Angeles in June.

Damnit.

 

[terry78]

And no NX till next year. My curiosity is piqued.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Not surprised by the delay. Mad as hell at the delay, but not surprised. Also surprised at the news that this will be the only playable game at E3 this year for Nintendo. I don't know what they're thinking anymore.

It's ok.....we're getting Metroid Prime: Federation Force.

How man freaking times can they delay this game?

 

[Tron Bonne]

Delay sucks, what the hell. Just launch it in 2016 for the Wii U, and then do the upgraded version for NX in March.

Not surprised by the delay. Mad as hell at the delay, but not surprised. Also surprised at the news that this will be the only playable game at E3 this year for Nintendo. I don't know what they're thinking anymore.

I read that as the Wii U version will be the only playable version of Zelda, as in no NX version. Not the only playable game, period. That's how I read it anyway.

 

[KillerMcQueen]

This makes the Wii U the only Nintendo console to not have a Zelda game unique to it.

 

[Tron Bonne]

This makes the Wii U the only Nintendo console to not have a Zelda game unique to it.

Yep, it's a shame, but it is what it is. But it did get a lot of Zelda love with HD remasters of WW and TP, too, so I can't complain a lot.

 

[Soapy]

And Hyrule Warriors.

 

[Tron Bonne]

And Hyrule Warriors.

Yep, forgot about that. Plus all the Zelda games on VC as well. Wii U was quite a Zelda machine once I think about it.

 

[Soapy]

It's a really odd situation that Zelda is going to be Nintendo's sole focus at E3 when it's not even coming out this year.

 

[Tron Bonne]

I think they're moving to phase out traditional, "core" trade shows honestly. I think within one or two years they won't even be at E3 anymore.

 

[Soapy]

I don't know why they would need to phase it out. Like, just stop going. You're embarrassing yourselves.

 

[Tron Bonne]

They probably want to remain a presence there for now since they are still, to some degree, aiming at the core audience of gaming, even if that aim is diminishing slowly. Zelda is probably their most core friendly game, outside maybe Metroid (and who knows what's up with that), so it makes sense.

I think they'll probably eventually drop trade shows and do a once or twice a year event in the vein of Spaceworld while maybe keeping a small presence at GDC. Just speculating, of course, but I think Nintendo is prepping slowly for their exit from the mainstream console market.

 

[Matt Mortem]

They said Zelda is the only playable game on the E3 floor, but I'm still keeping fingers crossed for a few holiday announcements. They can't possibly only have Paper Mario and Pokemon lined up for the Fall/Holiday release windows.

It's all about The Legend of Zelda.

Nintendo has detailed its plans for E3 2016. And it’s all about The Legend of Zelda.




A day-long live stream of The Legend of Zelda, which starts at 9 a.m. PT on Tuesday, June 14, seems to have replaced Nintendo’s usual Digital Event, which is usually held during the same time slot.


Get the full rundown below.

Nintendo Treehouse: Live
Nintendo’s kickoff to E3 2016 begins at 9 a.m. PT / 12 p.m. PT on Tuesday, June 14, when Nintendo of America president and COO Reggie Fils-Aime introduces “Nintendo Treehouse: Live,” which will be dedicated to a day of live-streamed gameplay from The Legend of Zelda.

E3 Booth
The newest game in The Legend of Zelda franchise will be playable on Wii U for the first time ever at the expo. It will be the only playable game in Nintendo’s booth via extended demos.
Series Producer Eiji Aonuma has said that this new installment in The Legend of Zelda franchise will be a clean break from the conventions of previous games, removing boundaries that forced players to follow a set path and introducing new gameplay that has not been experienced in previous games in the series.
Win a Trip to E3
One lucky fan and a companion will be flown to Los Angeles to enjoy The Legend of Zelda person and be among the first to play the game on the show floor.
Between now and May 10, Nintendo is offering a sweepstakes on Twitter for a chance to win a trip for two to E3 to play the game. Anyone who tweets @NintendoAmerica a note about what The Legend of Zelda series means to them while using the hashtags #MyZeldaLegend and #NintendoSweepstakes will be entered for a chance to win.
Fans can share messages about their favorite games, characters or memories of the franchise. Nintendo will select a winner at random.

So there's no E3 Direct or anything. It's just literally Zelda for the show and nothing else. Yeah, Nintendo won't be at E3 next year, I'm willing to bet.
