rEduce, rEuse, rEcycle -- E3 2017 Extravaganza!

[Mirby]

Apparently the size of the plateau they're on is only like 1% of the overall world lol

[Protoman Blues]

I've watched the trailer like 10 times now and I really love the music.

[Mirby]

I love that there's VOICE ACTING now.

Even if Link will remain silent, it's nice that other characters will have voices now.

Also wonder where on the timeline this falls. Could be a long time after Four Swords Adventures on the Child timeline, or a long time after Zelda 2 on the Decline timeline (which seems more likely because, you know, Hyrule is in decline). I don't see it being on the Adult branch because of the presence of the Temple of Time right nearby where Link awakens, and if this is truly the new endpoint of one of the branches I'd think it would be on a branch that didn't have a whole new Hyrule lol

[Sakura Leic]

I mean I still say Adult Time Line because we have Koroks.

I feel like Reggie's going to walk in at any moment and be like "Wait, you guys are still playing Zelda?"

I know right?

True. If that's the case it's interesting that the Temple of Time is there if this is indeed the New Hyrule of Spirit Tracks far in the future. The Temple of Time is a Old Hyrulean temple after all.

[Sakura Leic]

I don't think it's exactly the Temple of Time since we don't know what anything is, unless that Old guy said it was and I missed it?

[Blue Valkyrie]

Any one notice how rusted the Master Sword looked in the trailer-even that title has it looking worse for wear.

So did it lose it's power again ala Wind Waker?

[Sakura Leic]

Hyrule in general seems to be in ruins despite the Greenery.

[Blue Valkyrie]

We'll have to see if this is a common theme of the map or if the demo was just in one spot where there happen to be ruins.

Also was that the bridge from TP in the trailer there? Reminded me of it.

Only seemingly Zelda and certain characters have full voice acting, because the old man and the sages in the Shrines don't.

Also, even if I can't figure out the timeline positioning, I do have a theory.
[spoiler]Something resembling Ganon and his dark energy is circling Hyrule Castle in the far off distance, as you can see from a split-second in the trailer. And Link starts the game off awakening in only his shorts in a resurrection chamber, as the area title handily calls it. I get the feeling that whether he kept his Triforce piece or not, Link was murdered by Ganon before the game begins (whether he was defending Zelda or killed by other circumstances) and now Link's reawakening with none of his gear and none of his memories beyond his natural heroic disposition. Also someone on Twitter posted that the old man you meet outside has facial and hair similarities to the King from Wind Waker, and he appears in.. unusual places like the top of a small mountain just to offer Link a shirt in the cold.[/spoiler]

[Sakura Leic]

[spoiler]It also seems like this Ganon is refered to as Calamity Ganon, and an It rather than he.....[/spoiler]

[Dr. Wily II]

Wait, is the Nintendo thing still on-going?

[Sakura Leic]

Not Today but 10 AM Pacific Time Tomorrow.

[VirusChris]

I missed it! D:

Oh is it still going? Well I did see the Zelda trailer and it was amazing. I loved it and want it!
I cannot wait to play it, but I do wonder which timeline it's placed in.

Any other good games showed this Direct aside from Pokemon and Zelda?

[Sakura Leic]

Nope just Pokemon and like 6 hours of Zelda, and it's done for today.  Tomorrow there will be more things. 

I can imagine you can rewatch them on Twitch.

[Dr. Wily II]

6hrs of Zelda... That's a lot of Zelda...

[ViperAcidZX]

They did mentioned a few indie games like a special Wii U version of Jotun, Axiom Verge, and this other game by the developers of Guacamelee.

6hrs of Zelda... That's a lot of Zelda...

I bet that's not even 2% of the game.

[Sakura Leic]

It's probably not.

[Nexus]

Hmmm...

[Dr. Wily II]

From what I can gather from the posts here... Link was naked as part of the game play?

... I guess that justifies the 6hrs of Zelda.

[Sakura Leic]

Hmmm...

Bah ha ha ha ha ha, wow.

From what I can gather from the posts here... Link was naked as part of the game play?

... I guess that justifies the 6hrs of Zelda.

And the Sheikah Slate.  All hail the Magitek Sheikah Smart Phone!

I don't think it's exactly the Temple of Time since we don't know what anything is, unless that Old guy said it was and I missed it?

When they entered it for the first time in the first segment, the game itself explicitly said it was the Temple of Time.

[Sakura Leic]

Ah okay then I missed that.
