Footage is below... You know, I'm just going to say this. If it was SEGA demoing this, I would be totally disappointed.
Take out the Link character model and I see absolutely nothing exceptional or exciting going on here. Everything they showed off as if it's something exciting is old hat... Open world, waypoint markers, maps? What is this 1998? Even the horse controls were done in Shadow of the Colossus a good decade ago!
All round it look's pretty generic. Prove me wrong?
(Oh and I don't know if it's just the translators but man these guys are so corny and lame...)

Just Cause 3 will blow this out of the water. Wait, Just Cause 2 blows this out of the water!

If it was Sega demoing this, it would be a mobile phone game exclusive to Japan.
What were you expecting though? It's Zelda, it's a formula they re-use all the time. It's been using the same thing for a long while. I'm not even a fan of Zelda, only ever played Twilight Princess, but I know what to expect. Frankly I think it's better than trying to 'innovative' and making horrid games like Sonic Team does.

In terms of how impressive the open world looks. JC2 had some incredible sights, this demo didn't do much for me. Then again, I was never a big Zelda fan.
-
Looks promising. Track record tells me its gonna improve a lot in the last stage of the dev cycle
-
Looks like it could be fun. Depends though. I've always been a fan of the Zelda formula. It is indeed nothing ground breaking at all. I feel like I'm looking at Skyrim almost.
But really. I can't think of any Nintendo games that are ground breaking. Nintendo have mastered the art form of refining existing formulas and getting people to buy the same game over and over again. Just look at Pokemon.

How bad it may sound, I wish SEGA could/would have done that with a couple of franchises.
-
I wasn't blown away by the new video, but I am reassured that these crazy old-timers still know what they're doing. That looks like a game I know I will play. Most games that already featured the game systems that they touted as "new" are not the kind of games I absolutely want to play.
-
It's at least good to know that the E3 trailer was playable footage.
-
It looks like Zelda. Doesn't look mind-blowing, but I can see how it may be entertaining. So long as it's not Zelda Sunshine, I'm sure it will be grand.

I think everyone wishes this to be honest. New stuff is great, but their sequels often miss the point entirely, unlike Nintendo.
-
I don't think enough was shown to really have a good impression of the game. They showed a bit of how big the open world is, Link on Epona running around the open world and some on-horse combat. We still haven't actually seen yet what you can do in the game outside of shooting arrows at enemies.

But it looks empty and boring... It did literally nothing new or exciting. Pretend for a moment that isn't a model of Link and were looking at a brand new IP. Would a single person look at this empty, boring demo and think CANT WAIT TO PLAY THAT!

I'm not particularly interested in playing it as a Zelda game, so, no I probably wouldn't be.
I'll probably give it a shot when it comes out if it looks nice. I've only ever played one Zelda game in my life anyway.

Knowing zelda games, it's gonna have amazing experiences within those world. Whether it's from exploration and finding great locales or just the amazingly crafted environments within the used artstyle with the right moods set by the music. Let's not forget about all the dungeons. The world seems to be huge so possibly there's gonna be more exploration than ever.
There's a lot more to it when you look into it a bit more. I'm actually quite sure they're aware that the game is far from finished looking if inly for them viewing it off screen. But also quite sure they're consiously holding things back like the way npc's or the usual zelda races are going to look.
-
Why are Zelda games so anti-newcomers?
I've tried playing a lot of them, but it's always like the game is shunning me. Like..suppose I find this guy that speaks funny, and the game assumes I should know he will speak that way because he has in past games. They cram references in there that I don't get what they mean BUT I GET THEY ARE REFERENCES and that really puts me off.
It's like joining a group of guys having a chat and they start speaking in code between eachother. Fuck Zelda, save yourself bithc.
-
The Zelda series is paperthin when it comes to stories. It's mostly silly humorous dialogue with some giving information. Basically like most traditional franchises. Uhmm, i'm not sure about the references. I think if there are some, it's easy to ignore them.
I know you have a 3ds. My brother never played a zelda game before ocarina of time. He fell in love with the franchise on his 30's so you could give that a try. The pace is excellent for that game. There's an intro but its a lot less tedious than the other zelda games. Actually quite short
-
I remember playing OoT on emulator a while back and feeling it was good but the intro was pretty slow..never got to finish it. A friend of mine is really into Zelda and says I would love Majora's Mask.
-
Sounds like the perfect time to jump before the release of majora's mask, on ocarina 3d. Majora's mask is in my opinion also the best. But the only way you'll like it is if you finish ocarina first(in my case at least). Majora's mask is the most clever one. It requires a lot more thinking. Its also.. very weird and creepy. Definitly start with ocarina if you want to give the series a chance imo. Not sure if this is the general though
-
Going back through Ocarina of Time 3D is making me more interested in Majora's Mask 3D. Being able to play those games anywhere I want is pretty swell.
