Couldn't find a thread dedicated to the new Zelda which I thought was strange.

We have a Switch thread but if any game deserves its own thread it's Zelda!

So how are you feeling about it since the last presentation?

I loved the new trailer -

Does anyone think the price will come down before launch? £60 is a lot of money.

EDIT: 02/03/2017 - No spoilers tag added to the thread title, to be safe though as some screenshots and videos have been posted previously I recommend only viewing from page 15 onward if you're really concerned.

I have the Wii U version pre-orderd.

Normally I wouldn't bother, but I'm concerned that Nintendo will do the same as that did with Twilight princess and only do a small run for the outgoing console.

Yep me too. Still can't stomach the price for the Switch version but I paid about the same for Zelda 64 back in the day.

I really don't no what to do regarding Zelda, I have a WiiU and I was buying for the WiiU, but now it's coming out on Switch, which I won't be buying until more games come out and the console has seen a price drop. Do I buy for the WiiU or do wait a year and buy for the Switch????

It's already down to £50 at The Game Collection.

Massive fan of Ocarina but haven't been a fan since, could never get into Windwaker.

That trailer, I don't know, it's not appealing to me. I guess it's the cel-shaded/anime approach.

So which box art do you prefer, US or Europe?

This was an article on Eurogamer the other day.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...an-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-box-art

US is on the left, Europe on the right.

Personally, I much prefer the US one as it seems much more dramatic, I don't like the way Link is looking back in the EU version.

US box is very Lord of the Rings, but that's seldom a bad thing.

Was surprised at the comments on Eurogamer, a lot of people preferred the blue skies EU one, I thought the moody US one would have taken it hands down.

That's a difficult choice, but I think I prefer the brighter EU one. I feel it better suits the title "Breath of the Wild".

I actually made some quick job 1080p desktop wallpapers from the new art:

I know what you mean, I think if Link was looking straight on or in silouette then I'd love it.

Thanks for the wallpapers/links, I found a pretty good version of the US one previously but wasn't optimised for widescreen. Is now sitting proudly on my desktop.

This will probably be my last Nintendo purchase.

It's a major reason I bought the WiiU and they've kept me waiting. The switch does not appeal, especially not the new mario which reminds me of the worst in the franchise (sunshine).

I think grew out of Nintendo about 10 years ago but have always been pulled back in via marketing. They're really not resonating with me this time.
