I'm not really expecting Zelda U to be on the level of current gen games like Witcher 3, I do expect it to be groundbreaking for the Zelda series though. I think if you expect that much from it, you're likely to be disappointed. That's just me though.
Then again I don't really know much about Witcher 3, but I do know that Nintendo have yet to prove that they can keep up with the modern times.

But, I don't want to tell people what to think. I just think it's best to not have too high expectations.

For me, the other games kind of spoil Zelda. When another game is good at something you expect the other game to be the same quality too. Perhaps they compete in separate audience or something. I don't know, it feels wrong to me to think Zelda is not supposed to be "as good as that one".

I had a Zwoonix dream!!!

A guy was demoing Zwoonix for a group of people, myself included. He showed us a part where Link is being chased by a monster down a narrow forest path. The sides of the path are blocked off with thick foliage so you can only follow the path, and the camera follows Link from behind while the monster roars and crashes behind the camera, out of sight. (Think RE4's boulder QT events, only with the perspective reversed.)

Anyway along the way the player had to avoid soldiers and random convoy stuff like wagons and animals (I don't know what happened to them when the monster found them xD ). And I was getting mad because I wanted to see Link's canned animations as he hurdled and dodged stuff, but the guy playing it just kept slashing Link's sword at the foliage. His reason for this was because the sword cut open a hidden path to take where the monster wouldn't follow.

Anyway that's where the dream ended. It was a lot cooler than how I just made it sound.

I'll be at E3 this year and I start grinning like a fool when I remember I'll be playing Zwoonix. I'm totally going to ugly cry, I know it. It's been a year and a half since the Game Awards footage, and finally we're getting information... and in less than three weeks! It's a little surreal!

Congratulations on getting to go, and you should tell as much as you can about the game. Like if the controls are responsive and how the whole world feels. I'm sure it'll be a blast.

They have been working with the game so long now, there must be at least decent amount of stuff to do also outside dungeons. And it's fully open world isn't it? I'm expecting something like Witcher 3 overworld content and design, with Zelda items used. Sidemissions, random events and people encounters can be marked on the map with a "?" or something. Story sidequests would be good to have again in Zelda, I've missed them since Majora's mask.

I don't think WW's content is a good example to have for a 2017 open world game. Zelda UX needs to be much more than just the best Zelda game.

For me and Zelda games it is all about dungeons. I don't really care for stuff out side of dungeons. What makes TP my second favorite Zelda game is it has some of the best dungeons and one of the better Zelda storys.

E3 is getting close, I'm shitting my pants guys.

Lord help me, I really want to fulfill my sacred media-blackout mission. However, this E3 will be impossibly hard to sit through without spoiling anything at all for myself. Is anybody with me on this? Like, I made a thread for this purpose but after the second delay I feel like nobody is going to skip this thing, I don't even know if I will.

Finished uncharted 4 yesterday btw, and I'm reminded why I'm going on blackout. Seriously, 70% of the areas were spoiled for me. I must not let this happen again, but.... Dammit Nintendo...

Edit:
2 demo's, Nintendo requesting journalists 90 FREAKING minutes of their time to play it. I'm done.

It's crazy to think we are going from 2 years of only 5 minutes of footage total to 90 minute coverage of the game. I really hope this game doesn't disappoint. I want this footage to blow my mind out of my asshole.
