haha i love little things like that. I'm going to choose a rock and keep it with me the entire game.

i'm glad they blurred out the pic.

 

[DarthButcher]

lmaoooooo

i'm dead

Damn, too bad you won't get to experience Breath of the Wild.

 

[jett]

Using a 2D prototype is just the neatest. And those visuals are suspiciously polished.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Why wouldn't they be able to include Link to the Past and A Link Between Worlds art style too?

That's true I didn't think about ALBW, it could work quite easily like that actually.

 

[Peléo]

Come on guys. How would a Zelda maker even work decently?

It could be dungeon only if it turns out a fully fleshed world is too complex.

 

[Instro]

Move over Companion Cube, we have a new inanimate object to keep us company.

 

[daxy]

You see that mountain? You can push a rock to it.

I laughed. Good job, haha.

The pain when it blows up. WILSOOON!

The panel is on the approach to music on BotW. They won't be announcing Zelda Maker... even though it looks like there is something being developed.

Mr. Dohta on the increasing freedom and complexity of this #Zelda: “My excitement was coming not as a developer, but as a player.”

Design, not music.

 

[Ithil]

When they see open world they really take it literally.

 

[Peltz]

The 2D prototype sounds like a neat way to design an open world.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Damn, too bad you won't get to experience Breath of the Wild.

Leave a copy on their grave...

...no not my copy. I wanna play my copy!

 

[Kouriozan]

Wow at that early prototype of BotW, just amazing.

This is like, the game to end all games.

Holy hell at this level of realism in interactivity... That's not something you see in games, like at all.

What is the “chemistry” of #Zelda: Breath of Wild? All reactions are connected to the world, and of course, Link.

 

[Soulstar]

Will there be a video of this released later?

 

[Monumma]

The 2D #Zelda prototype we discussed earlier? It was actually 3D, running BotW’s physics and “chemistry” engine in the background!

Half-Life 2 has an achievement for dragging a garden gnome along with you all game. Coincidentally, HL2 also is about the only non-puzzle game using physics-based puzzles on a scope similar to BOTW.

[foltzie1]

Is it port begging to ask them to release this playable demo-like thing on the eshop?

 

[Soulstar]

Yes. On the GDC Vault and YouTube.

Good to know. Thanks.

damn. what a twist. this is so cool.


"In BOTW you can drop a sword on the ground in a thunderstorm, hover it over to a group of enemies and wait for lightning to strike it."

BRUH. Ok this is awesome. Reminds me of when I first played GTA III, just messing around with the game was fun. I can see that happening with this game.

It could be dungeon only if it turns out a fully fleshed world is too complex.

Given the quality of a random mario maker level, I honestly thing even a decent dungeon would be beyond the majority of a theoretical "zelda maker" players

So you're saying BotW is basically an open world Half-Life 2 but with Zelda level design? Sounds good to me.

I still can't wrap my mind around this game. It is far beyond what I understand.

man that feel when you think you are almost done with work and then...

On topic, the 2D concept is awesome, but it makes a whole bunch of sense when you see game development as iterative. Really smart decision nonetheless, and it must've been fun to fool around with. Mmmaaayhaps we get a chance to play around with it one day?

This is what happens in Zelda Maker when you select a different skin from LoZ to LoZ:OoT

LoL this is just like the inverse Pillars of Eternity II technology. It seem 3D but it's actually 2D

I'm surprised they do these Zelda presentations around the games launch, wasn't this from just before or just after ALBW?
