It's so weird that everyone is so down on this trailer when it was the one that convinced me to get it.

Swamp Palace is the bottom center dungeon in the Dark World. The place where you have to go to the Light World and pull a lever to change the water level in the dungeon so you can enter it.

Already got plenty of swamps.

I know all this

I was referring to the map area where the Palace of Darkness was in ALttP. That loooked swampy in the first Lorule map I saw in the Kotaku video. But in your caps it just looks black like the chasms.

 

[Easy_D]

In the Kotaku footage, the east palace area looked swampy to me because it didn't seem as black. It's really tough to tell. Can't wait to explore every nook and cranny. Somehow it being based around the ALttP maps makes me even more interested in exploring everything since I know that game's map so well.

Agreed. Hell just watching footage makes me all "Hey! That cave is NEW! Awesome!"

And stuff like Sahrharalshsarhaslrlasras's hut being a mini dungeon. I really hope they play a lot with the expectations of veterans

Nice!

that kid that looks a little like link

Spoiler

may play an important role in the story also seeing as how he has his own portrait an painting.

Nintendo released a bunch of other asset artwork recently and there's 8 portraits without paintings, which I'm guessing are for the sages which is a probable further indicator at the amount of dungeons.

OH god. Hint Glasses? Now I feel like my post about the Hint-Stone was a bit prophetic.
Good call Nintendo!

Hmmmm. That seems to imply

Spoiler

this is a sequel to OOT, not LTTP, since LTTP's ending did not involve any sages or sealing. Unless seal is just the wrong word, and they mean "revive" or something, cause Ganon was definitely just blown up at the end of LTTP, not sealed anywhere

I really hope the Hint Glasses to see hidden stuff, too. I like to pretend any "hint" items in a game doesn't exist.

Thankfully the rule of "just use GameFAQs" should still apply.

Aren't there only 6 maidens in ALTTP? I think we saw Impa or whoever is in the link attire that looks like the Hyrule equivalent of Yuga get trapped in the painting in this trailer.

I bet the hidden stuff will be things you can find anyway, like bombable walls and shit.

I know. I realized Nintendo would never try to monetize their hand-holding. They just throw it in our face whether we like it or not.

That makes sense! Also, yaay, I can pretend they don't exist!

Really? I thought that trailer was pretty hype.

 

[Necrovex]

This trailer sold me on the game as well.

 

[mdtauk]

This trailer sold me on the game as well.

I was worried it would be a step back in terms of characterisation and story from the other 3D games, and was concerned that the gameplay would take a step back with "honouring" ALttP.

The trailer has allayed my fears.

 

[Solid SOAP]

Looks awesome, better and more original than I expected. Cannot wait, day 1.

Well, hint stones existed since OoT 3D.

Hmmmm. That seems to imply

This is probably an issue of poor writing for the original. I just rewatched the ending and

Spoiler

it does say that "you completely destroyed Ganon" and doesn't mention any sages or seals. However, that hasn't stopped any other games from just reviving Ganon. We know for a fact that it is a direct sequel to ALttP. It's gonna be a plot to revive Ganon, i think that much is safe to assume.

 

[Skilletor]

This game was not made with love, it literally has no soul.

As opposed to every other videogame which literally burst from the seams with soul?

Or is this one of those stupid, non-quantifiable, vague, useless posts that people with nostalgia for old games use as a pointless insult? Like the word "charm."

Game looks awesome. Trailer rocked the body that rocked the party.

This isn't even the first sequel to ALttP. Twinrova tried to and partially did revive him in the Oracle games.

He got revived somehow in Zelda 1, and in AoL the cult of Ganon was trying to revive him again using Link's blood.

Plus the maidens in ALttP are essentially sages.

Well, I was talking about a portable item . Not the Sheikah stones

So GAME in the UK is offering a mini-chest that plays the 'Da Da Da Daaah!' sound when you open it as a preorder bonus:
