The world was a bit empty for a Zelda game. But that may just be because it's largely incomplete. Plus we have yet to see the towns, NPCs, and dungeons. So I wont judge just yet.
Well I can't really hate it but are we really just gonna ignore that one of the new features is being able to ride through forests without steering? Hadn't this been such a popular franchise, this would've been ripped apart and branded as total casualization. It just seems like it could make travel more dull if you don't have to worry about collision.
Because Epona is a horse, not a motorcycle.
Not to mention, this means Nintendo could add some interesting mechanics to the mounted system. Epona panicking or disobedience could be programmed in.

This was the best thing to come out of the video. This allows you to actually do archery while on horseback. It actually makes a lot of sense that a horse tilts its direction a little based on what's in front of it. As they said in the video, horses don't just run into a tree.

Have you played Mount&Blade: Warband?
If so, did you play as a horse archer?
If the answer to both is yes, you probably remember dying a few times, because your horse ran right into a tree, and some knight that was chasing you, struck you with a coughed lance, instantly killing you. That shit happened to me several times, so seeing these news was such good news to me :)
lol i love when miyamoto says "what a dense forest" and the trees are all spread apart. honestly the open world looks pretty barren but i'm sure the final product will be solid.

I mean, that's what a dense forest is like, in real life...
@charizard1605: forests in real life are hard to walk through. There are fallen trees, uneven terrain, burrows, etc. The forests in that game look like a tree farm
Wow Nintendo fans are falling for this again. After Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword I am very hesitant about falling for any hype. The world still seems empty despite being bigger and prettier. Awful motion aiming, looks like they haven't learned from how terrible the motion controls in Skyward and Twilight was.
It looks like a prettier Skyward Sword, I will wait until they show more, but right now I am underwhelmed.

I'm always questionable when it comes to interpreting languages. For example, maybe in Japan there are different versions of "density".
Some people were doing calculations and guesstimates based on map location and landmarks and its been estimated that you could cross the map in over an hour... on horseback. How long could it be on foot?

I don't even think the full zoom out was the whole map. If you notice, the bottom and right sides( i believe) are framed in black signifying the edge of the map, while the top and left are not framed.
This was taken from a poster at VGC who made some calculations. Obviously everything is speculation at this point. But if true what was shown of the map so far is massive.
Yes, this is awesome, so many excellent games for WiiU next year, i mean Zelda will be around in November i assume, but meanwhile we will have Star Fox, Mario Maker and Xeno X...damn!!!
This game and MGSV, all I need for next year. And next year is fucking stacked. If all of these slated-for-2015 titles make it (and if half of them live up to the hype), it'll go down as one of the best years in gaming.
It is most amusing to me how great the Wii U is turning out to be. I have 16 games on it and plenty more to get next year. Splatoon, Xenoblade X, Zelda, Mario Maker, Starfox, Kirby, and Yoshi so far that that is just what is announced. Well played Nintendo Well played.
