Given that negativity is so easy to find on the internet, I thought I'd start a thread for people to post things that they're excited about for the coming installment in the Legend of Zelda series. Here's what I'm most excited for:
I can't wait to read what you all are excited about! And thank you to those of you who have welcomed me to the forums, as I am new here.
- Exploration. This one may be a bit obvious, but I am so excited to discover visual wonders, both "natural" (mountains, canyons, lakes, rivers, oceans, forests, etc.) and man-made (cities and towns, all of the many ruins, dungeons, etc). While many people are worried about the open world being empty, Game Informer's assertion that during their extended play session there was always something to do is very encouraging.
- Combat. Given all we've heard about this installment's combat being much harder than any 3d Zelda to date, I'm looking forward to the added difficulty. It'll be fun to discover all the different weapon types, with their different attack animations and different strengths, weaknesses, counters, etc.
- Story. I'm a sucker for a great story in video games, and I love that this game combines a rich story with the freedom to discover it at your own pace. I look forward to the challenge of getting the complete story, and I believe it will indeed be a challenge given how much emphasis Aonuma places on the fact that parts of the story can potentially be missed.
- Immersion. I want to become a part of this world, and I think things like taming and registering horses, hunting, gathering, and cooking food to survive, and setting my own exploration path will make that immersion very easy. I really hope that there's a town near the sea, because if there is, I'm going to make it my "home". By that I mean I'm going to start each quest or journey there, stocking up before I go and saving there before I stop playing so that I'll start there when I start up the game again.
