Well, there's no guarantee the boss fights will all be guardians. Especially considering Steppe Talus exists. And, IMO, the same enemy used for every sinngle boss would get boring quick.

I had a shower thought the other day and simply forgot to post it. Has anybody seen evidence of a traditional Zelda temple? Yeah, we have the shrines, but those seem to be more like mini temples. Have they decided to go the route of having several smaller dungeons instead of a handful of larger ones?

[SOLDIER First]

I think they're doing the regular sort of dungeons we know and love, but there's discussion it might be only four, like Majora's Mask. No real confirmation, though.

[xaritscin]

basing on the size of the 4 main guardians in the game it seems they themselves are dungeons, maybe there will be some static dungeons in the map but the 4 most important must be the four animals alltogether. it seems link not only has to climb them but in order to stop them it must get inside of their machinery.

If you look at the trailer, it shows two giant guardians(the AT-AT looking one, the flaming paw one, and possibly another, but I don't remember). They are giant guardians, but in this case, it just means that it's a robot similar to the basic octopi guardians, it doesn't mean that they are actually giant octopi guardians. I didn't actually say that all the boss fights would be giant guardians, anyway.

But considering there appears to be four giant guardians, at least,

On the switch trailer, you can see one giant guardian at 2:24, and one at 2:30.

They have specifically said in some of the Nintendo Treehouse videos, that although there are over 100 shrines, there are still regular dungeons. I assume they haven't shown any to avoid spoiling the dungeons. Whether or not some of them are temples is remained to be seen.
There very well may be a video showing a temple dungeon, but if there is, I haven't seen it.

Yeah, The giant guardians may well be dungeons, although considering that one is right near death mountain, I think that would be a wasted opportunity in not killing it through either throwing it in the volcano, or causing rockslides on it.

But Beedle was in both Skyward Sword and Minish Cap, the earliest games on the timeline. By that logic it could be whenever.

[Putnam]

Yeah, Beedle is like Dampé or a variety of other characters, appearing in multiple games

[Ultimuh]

Well.. I am in support of the theory, where everything takes place in a merged timeline.
Until anything else is officially confirmed, this makes the most sense to me.

[Aklyon]

Well, I can at least confirm from what I've read and heard that it does come out (officially) after Ocarina. Don't know how after, but definitely after.

So after, after, or after?

That still leaves us with multiple choices.

[SOLDIER First]

Considering Beedle hasn't been seen in the Child Timeline AFAIK, I'd say the choices are after or after.

[penguinofhonor]

I am in support of the theory where Nintendo just makes up bullshit as they go along and trying to piece things together is more trouble than it's worth.

[Nighthawk]

Well, folks, it's happening. Legend of Zelda is succumbing to DLC bullcrap. I cannot say I'm surprised, considering Smash 4 did it, but I'm still rather disappointed.

I know some people don't see the issue with DLC. My view on it is this: I don't have a problem with it if it's done honestly. I think DLC should happen when developers want to make more content for a finished game. When DLC that costs 33% of what the base game costs is being announced before the game is even released it always leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Especially when that DLC will clearly not boost the actual game content by 33%.

[SOLDIER First]

You don't have to buy it. I know that's the default rebuttal, but really. Some people think it'll be worth it, some people don't. Knowing Nintendo (and what they've said themselves), the game is more likely than not going to have enough content for a long, long time.

[Egan_BW]

Horse armor, or actual content? Nobody knows! Getting the pass now would be akin to gambling, but I won't write off the possibility that it'll be good, and Nintendo are just being bad at communicating that fact.

The bit about the game having lots of content already is true from what we've seen, and I won't try to deny it, but this DLC still feels like a cheap shot to me.

I mean, come on... a cave of trials DLC in a game series where that very same challenge has always been built in? A harder difficulty in a game series where the hardest difficulty has always been built in? It's not exactly subtle that Nintendo knows they can make money selling "bonus content" that has historically just been... content.

(A new storyline, on the other hand, sounds great. I'm not opposed to that as DLC in the slightest, provided it's done well.)
