Zelda: Breath of the Wild

i mean obviously it’s still a positive spin on earlier, dumber comments from execs on the whole Gender thing, but i can get behind it

OG Link is the only one that is ambiguously gendered.

Ok

I mean, I guess androgynous-but-definitely-male Link is the best we can expect from Nintendo in 2017.

i will shoot heads out of canons

why does everything in this game look like it is coated in a fine layer of mist

is it the pastel palette, hardware limitation fog, or what? it’s just so washed out

the switch version looks significantly less misty, does it not? but either way it looks like a continuation of the similarly washed out skyward sword

Polygon, so take it w/ a grain of salt (they’re mushy gushy softies on most games and i dont mean in a good way), but this is sounding increasingly like my jam

I’m excited but the announcement that there’d be a hard mode in a few months (as DLC? seriously? But hopefully that means it’ll be well-considered) has firmly made me wait because I don’t got time to do this multiple times.

If this is Zelda survival I want Nintendo to actually tighten the screws enough that I have to learn the systems.

yeah, i’m bummed about that hard mode situation too

hype as hell otherwise though

I’m nit-picking, but

“Zelda has never been good”

That’s literally the exact thing I was going to pick on

Considering a day one Switch purchase just for this. well, soon as I get my tax return, hopefully before the 3rd.

Somebody talk me out of it?

Sure, and i even like their standard longplay/let’s play style preview videos because even if most of them can’t write for shit, the Polygon crew seem largely like nice, non-obnoxious people with voices that aren’t terrible to listen to.
See:

the “jump off your horse to Bullet Time” mechanic is so freaking weird and i kinda love it

that slow-mo dodge special is also hella cool
and you have to try to catch the boomerang

i dunno gang this game looks pretty tops :slight_smile:
