Currently has a May 12 2023 release date. That's just over 4 months away. That's not so far, but there isn't that much known about it.
Here's a video that has the reveal trailer and other info that has so far been released.
https://youtu.be/30D...
Is it unusual for such an anticipated title that's only several months away to not have much known about it?
I don't usually follow games along their pre-release stages, so perhaps a lack of info is standard.
Personally, I'd rather a lack of info when it comes to games that I plan on playing. I don't care for spoilers, or to watch every trailer that comes out.
I'd have thought there'd be more out about it though. But again, I don't usually follow along with the progress of game development.
Definitely a game I'm looking forward to though.

Some people are streaming the game today. Actually saw a video on YT and the guy was in the first shrine. Someone on reddit claims they have been watching someone on discord, and that the dungeons and underground areas are massive.

I'm so pumped for this game. It looks like Nintendo put a TON of stuff into it.

Doesn't Nintendo usually maim entire families for this sorta thing?

If someone got the game early somehow, keep it private. Maybe even enjoy it. But certainly don't stream gameplay of it.

Reminds me of when some woman was able to download Advance Wars on Switch from the eShop last year. She pre-ordered it, and come release date she was able to download it despite it being delayed. She posted about it on social media and Nintendo yanked it from her console and refunded her.

As for why they'd be streaming one of the biggest releases of the year: clout.

Why not just enjoy the game, and not end up losing it? (Which is what happened). She could have said nothing, and been able to play the entire game - assuming development was completed and didn't require an update or major bug fixes)

I don't really care about spoilers. Honestly, I never really cared about the story in Zelda games, but I still want to experience as much of the gameplay on my own as much as possible.
All I want to know (and if anyone 100% KNOWS the answer to this, please PM me). ARE THERE CLASSIC FRICKEN DUNGEONS?

Returned the console to Target, snagged one off Amazon.
Amazon one was packaged better, but has a ding, and a box cut. Asked for a replacement, have to wait 2-3 days just to talk to the right team.
Annoying.

Annoying.Friend of mine received one from Target. It was in the shipping box with 1 packing pillow laying neatly on top. Is the shipping department not aware that this barely does anything to protect the console box?
I've seen things like this before.
Wouldn't Target rather spend a little more on packing materials, than deal with returns due to damaged items?

Looks like 5 or 6, including Hyrule Castle. Airship dungeon is called the Wind Temple: The Legendary Stormwind Ark (actually saw a pic of it earlier ), and most of them have elemental themes. I also saw pics of some of the bosses so I'm just going to have to stop looking at spoilers. (Wind dungeon boss was shown in the last trailer though.)

That's all I need. As long as they are real
REAL dungeons, I'll be happy.

So I guess it was confirmed the game is already being pirated; I had incorrectly assumed it was a few people who got access early. Nintendo busy filing copyright claims on the live streamers. I'm fine with reading bits and pieces, but will need to be weary of links/videos. Legit game sites on pins and needles so as not to get lost in the onslaught but also not to take anything too far and incur N's wrath. Pretty crummy situation honestly. I wonder if Nintendo tightens things up even more?

This sounds great. Except, has it been confirmed that they are more like CLASSIC dungeons, and not like the divine beasts?

I've been seeing mixed responses regarding the dungeons. Some have described them as a cross between classic dungeons and the Divine Beasts. Besides that pic of the exterior, I've only seen a couple of shots of the inside. And a pic of the boss and its name, the flying ice thing from the trailer.
Also, around 150 shrines, apparently.

That makes sense. They can only make them so much like classic dungeons, with how different of a game BotW/TotK are. If they're at least somewhat more like classic dungeons, and there's more of them this time around and the bosses are more unique, I think I'll be pretty happy. Also, that's a crapload of shrines!

I think I can confirm that bosses are unique. I've seen a few, and they're not like the Blights. Here's just one thread about dungeons on reddit:
https://www.reddit.c...
So three posters saying they're closer to classic dungeons, or at least better than the Divine Beasts.

You're doing it right. After that last post, I think I'll just stop talking about what's new in the game. Just 10 more days to go!

This is getting me even more pumped! I'm glad Nintendo listened to the overwhelming majority.

One of my other main wants for this game was much more enemy variety (non-boss or mini-boss). BotW was basically just Bokoblins, Lyzels, and Moblins over and over again. The trailers and videos I've watched have shown a couple more enemies, but I'm still concerned there's not a ton of variety. The Zelda franchise has SO many past enemies they could bring in, this really shouldn't be an issue. It's pretty sad that even the original Legend of Zelda had more enemy variety than Breath of the Wild lol
