I missed the treehouse stream, but I've been hearing from people that they revealed you can tame wild animals who will follow you around, including horses and dogs. You can name the horses you tame and register them at a stables so you can call them by whistling. The horses at least can also die though, so you have to be careful about how you use them around strong enemies. There's different animations for mounting the horses from any angle.

Also Octorok shots now have an arc to them.

Spoiler: This map seems to be detailing the major bosses, or maybe they're actually dungeons? (click to show/hide)

From the looks of things we have the spider/gecko/salamander climbing up death mountain, that camel we glimpsed the legs of in the trailer, and the bird airship all accounted for.

those have some shadow of the colossus vibes on there, not only on the size but the design, yisuscraist. i wish i could afford the game and the console

Zoras are obviously red because they swim in lava now.

didnt some Zora in Twillight Princes have pink color instead of the usual blue?, it seems the Zora can have some different tones of skin, from greenish to reddish.

Almost like Coral

yeah, i guess more colors were added as the franchise evolved, hylian architecture and aesthetics have changed a lot, and the races too. so it made sense that the Zora appeared with more colors than was shown in the old games like OoT or Majoras Mask.

[Neonivek]

Well if you want a species that is DRASTICALLY different almost everytime you see them...

Great Fairies.

True, vegetation can grow fast if left unchecked.
I meant it as geologically though. Corrosion and continental shifts and such.

Look at Chernobly, that happen about 40 years ago and that place is overgrown with animals everywhere, it's entirely possible that with magic and the Triforce messing with things that entire cities just vanished in addition to being overgrown.

I never questioned the effects plants can have on abandoned places.
What I am however questioning are more drastic changes to the landscapes within a hundred years.
Such as mountains where there previously were none and such.

Alas, we do not know enough about the game to know if that even happened.
Also, I'm just rambling.

[xaritscin]

it could be just difference in design over the years, from lore standpoints certain places must have changed and all but the hyrule people remember from older installments may have been expanded or redesigned thanks to the new engine or something.

[stabbymcstabstab]

Also remember what Ganondorf changed in seven year in OoT, I imagine with a hundred you could do some pretty funky stuff.

[Ultimuh]

True enough.. And as I previously said, I'm just rambling.
But seriously, I am looking forward to play the game.

i still have one thing that i dont get from the Trailer. assuming that Ocarina of Time occurs centuries after Skyward Sword. then how come there's a coast in Hyrule during Breath of The Wild? of course, in the case that this one installment comes after that part in the series.

the last trace of a sea in the region was thousands of years before the war between Hylia and Demise, and after that the working of the Ancient Robots caused an environmental catastrophe that dried the ocean.

in the trailer they show both a desert, which i guess its still the old Lanayru dried sea. and a new one. but a "Faroria Sea" sounds implausible at least for me. specially because it was a freshwater body during the events of Ocarina of Time. so it doesnt make sense that it became a true sea after that.

[Egan_BW]

The whole damn world flooded in one of the timelines. I think that might leave behind a sea.

Dont think about it too much.  If you do, you will never reconcile all the game's geography.

Take for instance, the often overlooked Adventure of Link from the NES days.  For the time, it was a very large world. Features an actual ocean that appears global.  See these maps:



Reconciling the geography is going to be impossible. Even if you take the chain of thought that the world in which Hyrule resides is ancient beyond all reason, and caught in a perpetual cycle of rebirth and destruction, a-la many Buddhist themes (VERY pronounced in some of the videos I have seen of this upcoming title, including the presence of "living buddhas" seen in the shrines, [yes, those guys are dead, and died inside their shrines waiting for you to show up, you impertinent brat.]), then it is possible that the temple of time has been built and destroyed innumerable times, as civilization has cyclically risen and fallen along with the recurring theme of the legendary hero and the great evil battling for the triforce.

[Egan_BW]

Just as the flow of time is convoluted in the land of Lordran, the flow of space is convoluted in the land of Hyrule.

[Aklyon]

Time is also weird in hyrule, though. Weird enoguh that a book that spells it out causes just as much arguing as there was pre-book.
