So... no one is going to discuss the laser/beam arrow that Link is about to snuff him with?
I paused the frame on "Link" and his horse, and I noticed a few things...
First, he has no sword. His bow and circular shield are strapped on to his horse. Maybe the horse plays more of a pivotal role this time around - obviously in traversing the large landscape. But maybe as in an equipment manager...somehow?
Second, his arrow quiver looks to be a primary part of his overall attire/tunic. If the bow and arrow is indeed his primary weapon this time, I'm completely satisfied with that. It was my favourite weapon to wield in Skyward Sword for taking out baddies, anyhow.
The crazy-looking laser/short staff thing was also being held on the side of his horse. After shooting off two bomb arrows (yay for combo'ing weapons again - loved that in L'sA and SS), he then reached down quickly to grab that laser/staff thing...to which the horse then gave him a boosted jump to fire it off. Colour me intrigued...
very intrigued.
So, yeah. Zelda for Wii U. Obviously in the beginning development stages. But good heavens, does it look mind-blowing and brilliant. There were so many small, intricate other things going on during that field scene before the monster attacked. I can't wait to see how this plays out.
