rEduce, rEuse, rEcycle -- E3 2017 Extravaganza!

[Sakura Leic]

Yeah I don't even want to know how much damage Nude Link would take in the cold.

[ViperAcidZX]

I think he loses 1/4 of a heart over time from the gameplay they showed but I'm not sure if that gets worse in colder areas.

[Blue Valkyrie]

So this is still coming to WiiU right? 

[Sakura Leic]

Yes, they are playing the Wii U version in E3 in fact.  It's like Twilight Princess.

[Nexus]

With how radically overhauled and redone everything is, it'd be hard to really list them all. But goddamn this looks good.
From the runes, which seem to be our main 'items' of the game, to shieldboarding at any time as you please, to cutting down trees and cooking anything for various recipes for varied mixes and effects, to tearing off a skeleton's arm and beating them to death with it..

It's like they looked at Monster Hunter, Skyrim and a little bit of Metal Gear Solid V, and Zelda'd the hell out of them all.

[Phi]

I think we've seen plenty of the forest already.

What we need right now is a TOWN. I want to see NPCs walking around, conversations, shopping, etc.

[Sakura Leic]

Yeah I get that Hyrule is in Ruins and this is spoiler free but I can only take so much wilderness.

They're only showing a small section of the overall world, which says a lot given how much is packed into this one section; I doubt there's any nearby towns or so forth for this 'demo' unfortunately.

Well it looks gorgeous then-I admit I was getting a little worried because I had really no intention of buying an NX any time soon.

Make sure you get Twilight Princess HD and the Wolf Link Amiibo so you can have Wolf Link as a Hunting Dog!

[Protoman Blues]

According to the Kotaku hands on, the overall size of the map is 12x the size of the Twilight Princess map.

Lol, also I love that they're having Link run around topless in the icey area right now.

[Sakura Leic]

Does he take more damage or the same damage?

[Protoman Blues]

I can't tell because the reason they're doing it is to show the different ways he can keep warm while topless.

[Phi]

I can't tell because the reason they're doing it is to show the different ways he can keep warm while topless.

The reason they're doing it... is to just see him topless.

[Protoman Blues]

The reason they're doing it... is to just see him topless.

Hahaha, yes I'm well aware! I can't blame them. He's sexy! 

[ViperAcidZX]

Link, please, share us some selfies.

[Sakura Leic]

Think he needs a Picto Box Rune......oh my god the Runes are Apps!

[Protoman Blues]

This Ice Pillar rune is awesome!

[Blue Valkyrie]

Make sure you get Twilight Princess HD and the Wolf Link Amiibo so you can have Wolf Link as a Hunting Dog!

I wish I had moniez right now. 

[Sakura Leic]

Well at least the Wii U and NX version will have a simultaneous release so you have plenty of time to get both.

[ViperAcidZX]

I wish I had moniez right now. 

You and me both...

I can't help but be reminded of a Skyrim mod that causes the cold climate to affect your character's overall well-being, and it's neat that something like that is implemented into the survival aspects of Breath of the Wild. I might download one of the mods... once I actually finish installing other mods...

[Phi]

Okay, so there will indeed be towns, but they're not revealing them due to story spoilers.

[Protoman Blues]

That makes sense

[Phi]

The horseback riding looks reeeally fun.

Real talk though, this Treehouse event has gone on for like 6 hours straight holy [parasitic bomb]

[ViperAcidZX]

It's feels like it's been going on longer than Microsoft's, Sony's, Bethesda's, and Ubisoft's conferences put together.
