Zelda has leaked. It's all out there. Bosses, weapons, clothing, crazy spoilers. All the assets have been hacked. The game will be available to pirate soon on Wii U. Fuck the internet. Fuck these pirates. I hate people who play the game before everyone else, assholes. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to play Horizon.
Oh did you see the latest commercial with the INSANE BOSS SHOWN??!?! GOTF.
I saw it and it couldn't raise my hype level because it's already at its highest. I'm trying to play gtav to hold me over but honestly, it's a little boring. I'm determined to finish it though.
1 week!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have you read the previews?!?!? Greatest game ever incoming!!!!
Good lord!
The praise is incredible but I'm still scared. There is a huge focus on survival, you will have to constantly gather resources to survive. Heart containers seem to be gone, now you get stuff from shrines which you trade for health or stamina. All shrines look alike but they have unique puzzles, I still rather have dungeons.
But everything else sounds incredible. Everything seems tied to a gameplay system.

I tried reading a couple of previews today but gave up after a paragraph or two. We are so close to playing it ourselves I just dont see the point of reading about it.
I just want my Switch here now and to be able to order the fucking dock kit which is MIA.
Ugh I caved and started reading.
"Having just completed it, we couldn’t help but think of Horizon Zero Dawn while playing Breath Of The Wild, and how simplistic it now seems compared to Zelda. You also have a bow in Breath Of The Wild, but you have to account for how arrows arc through the air, rather than it just acting like a low-tech sniper rifle. Boomerangs have to be caught manually on their return and the best way to defeat the skeletons that appear at night is to chop off their head and punt it into a river, like a goalkeeper trying to make a clearance.
This is just the first five hours, and we still haven’t even mentioned the stealth (there’s an onscreen indicator to show how much sound you’re making) or the horse-riding where you have to catch horses yourself and tame them (by praising them when they do what you tell them). You can have five horses at a time that you keep in a stable, and each has their own unique stats and can be individually named.

LOL kicking the skulls into a river.
Wired:
"Fans of the storied adventure series may be hoping for another adventure through the fantasy world of Hyrule like the many they've experienced before. Instead, they'll find a game that is almost shockingly different, experimental, and even ridiculously difficult in places. It is quite unlike any other Zelda fans have played before - and rather brilliant as a result."
The fuck?
Ugh....
... the survival aspect. I kinda just want to wade in with my master sword and jack shit up.
So I take it if you have a PS4 play Horizon first.
SUPER MARIO MAKER LEVELS:
- SMB Mix-Up! (1AB2-0000-0047-5A7D)
- Storm the Castle (77BD-0000-00E0-A9C0)
I just found this bit of that preview funny.

Ignore the Horizon talk. I don't think enjoyment of one game will impact the other.
That is funny. I remember them doing that in the one Treehouse Live Event this past E3.

Sounds awesome and I'm so hyped for this game but I'm also a little nervous as well.
Omg, those previews! I'm of fun next Friday and so excited!
Polygon's Pre-review. Sorry GG, didn't see that you linked it already. That blue text is sort of hard to see.
Can't remember, probably.
