The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Preview Thread - no spoilers / no leaks
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
I'm sure thats part of it, but also, Nintendo is just bad at designing controls. That's one of the few genuinely bad aspects of BOTW.
This game is going to have legs online. Regular people will play through it, the online content generators will absolutely go to town on the game.
Noticed this in Zeltik's video. New ability wheel instead of the left/right scrolling from BOTW.
The new ability in the bottom right he mentioned he cannot talk about but you don't get it at the beginning of the game and the ability "streamlines ultrahand".
I assume this has to do with what's mentioned in the GVG preview at 10:01: https://youtu.be/Mq07sK-q-S0?t=601
"Building can be challenging, but Nintendo did include an easier means of creating vehicles for those who aren't keen on the new mechanic."
Hmm hopefully the system wide mapping can make this better. That's not something that was available in 2017
What is that purple icon with 3 hands?

Quick wuestion, because i had no time to read for now:
Was it the final built they played? (I assume so, but still)

Lol what
The company of Mario is bad at designing controls??
From what I've gathered it's easy mode for ultra hand but they can't talk about it yet
The red one next to it is Ultrahand so something along those lines
So the solution to getting knocked off a Sky Island mid-exploration is the Travel Medallion from BOTW. Creates a custom fast-travel point you can warp back to!
Probably some presets for "cars" "planes" etc.. if you have the necessary items
At this point they must have played at least the retail version since a potential Day 1 Patch could be still in Lotcheck submission. Greetings from Fechenheim :)
Some of the previews seem to imply it's an ability that streamlines the building but they can't talk about it. Presumably it's for those who find the construction stuff too challenging or not wanting to engage with it.
We are sooooooooooo back. Seeing Link soar into the South Hyrule Sky Archipelago in that IGN vid with zero frame dips is a genuinely impressive technical feat.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Hands-On Preview: It Lets You Test Out Your Craziest Ideas - IGN
We played The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for hours, and we want to tell you all about our hands-on impressions of Link's latest adventure.www.ign.com
I Played Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Here's What I Thought
Can Nintendo top Breath of the Wild, or will Tears of the Kingdom leave fans wanting? We recently went hands-on with the game at a preview event to find out!...
youtu.be
Nope. Looks like 15-20 FPS.
Seeing the ability wheel with the different abilities on it worries me slightly for progression - there is only 1 empty spot and it seems like Recall is our only 'tear ability' I wonder if we'll only get access to the other 'tear abilities' when we are with the champions wielding those tears.

People who have actually played it says it runs well so I'll take their word for it
Interesting, second time I've seen controls mentioned like this.
It's some sort of ultrahand vehicle loadout feature, IGN alludes to it
The preview was limited to 70 minutes and centered on areas focusing on the sandbox elements/mechanics.
Soon....
That;s how it worked in BotW, one of the Sheikah Stone powers was amiibo.

mmhm
it's okay if the traditional style ones aren't in it. i'd be totally down for a go-at-your-own-pace explorable kind like botw's hyrule castle.
Yeah? Theres probably a reason that's the one negative being mentioned pretty consistently by the people doing this preview.
I was fine with BotW's finicky controls, so I don't think this will be much different. To me, that was part of the difficulty of using some of Link's abilities, making it all the more satisfying when things went right.
And i got used to the jump/run thing. After 100 hours in BotW, I genuinely wasn't bothered by it.

Interesting to see the spread of opinions on how new vs. familiar the game feels. Wonder how that will change the more you play.
Also wonder if they really and truly have thrown out the old powers entirely.
Re the controls thing: I actually found the closeness of run and jump on the joycons sort of made things work fine but when I switched to a bigger controller it was less comfortable. Might make use of remap or back buttons this time.

You should read or listen one of the previews, so you know what they actually got to play before making questionable comments.
Gamespot mentioned an ability to summon premade vehicles. I bet that's what that is.
