Okay, so for the past few months, I've been thinking that I don't really care much about the new Zelda, like I've lost interest. But this picture, just this picture has gotten me so incredibly excited again. Holy shit I can't wait for Tuesday.

I'm really excited for this one. Small changes to the appearance of such an iconic character make me very curious. So far he hasn't had the green tunic or hat. I also really, really like the quiver at the hip/lower back.
22
I have a feeling they might do something like Twilight Princess did at the start. Link might obtain the green tunic that has been passed down by the previous hero, it would be neat if they deviated from using the tunic...or maybe it will just be one of several sets of cloths/armor.

Thinking about it now, though, maybe you'll get to have a bit more of an adventure before you get it. TP and Windwaker started you out in alternate clothes, but you changed before you left the starting zone. (I know WW had the new game plus that let you play in your jammies)

That's a good thought. Maybe you don't find the Hero's tunic until midway through the game... it would be also cool to see variances of tunics or just new armor that have a bit more use than the situational use the tunics got in the other games.
In OOT you get the red and blue tunics but they are basically only useful in a couple spots, it would be nice to be able to use them in multiple situations.

Things:
A number of neat, blue pillars dot the landscape.
The big cloud is a bird.
Spooky castle covered with darkness and surrounded by pillars! Hyrule Castle?

bird? I don't see it.

Look at the volcano and follow it straight up. The top most cloud looks like a bird. It's a stretch IMO.
Edit: oh my god, now I'm seeing a squashed Star Fox logo to the right of the fire spitting out of the volcano.

Top left corner; I realize now that it might not actually be a bird but it totally looks like one to me! Big birb cloud

blue pillars ~ blue mecha energy/ether stuff
5
Maybe Blue pillars = Viewpoints used to see more of the map (like Assassin's Creed)?
I hope we won't get an "open world" ala Ubisoft

I'm thinking the pillars are the watch towers they spoke about kinda like viewpoints

Pillars? They look like swords. Waypoints perhaps

The hype is building...

Yep, that's awesome.

I thought it couldn't get more fucking awesome. I thought.

Hello new desktop wallpaper.

This is literally art. Could this mean that the game itself will look like a painting? That would be insane but not unusual for Nintendo; they can’t compete in the realism department, so they have to invent creative visual styles.
2
Well we already know what the game looks like, but that would be interesting. Skyward Sword did something similar with the watercolor effect...
Also it's not that Nitnendo can't compete in realism, they just don't most of the time because it's boring.

Correction: We know what the game looked like in December 2014 😜. Adding Photoshop-like filters that make the game render in different visual styles isn’t something they have to plan for from the start. They could have easily added those filters in the meantime (if the Wii U can handle it).

They did show the game again late last year, and it still looked roughly the same. And considering they're still using the E3 2014 footage in official marketing... I'm just saying it's highly unlikely they changed the look of the game, especially considering it already looks amazing.

Damn this makes me keen to play it!

and now people are going to go crazy about illuminati stuff with the clouds....sigh

now watch them ruin it by reintroducing stamina like in SS :P
-8
What? I thought stamina was a great part of SS, much better than the magic meter.

The picture is of Link climbing a cliff face amidst a beautiful view. The joke is that stamina (as implemented in SS) would diminish that sort of experience by limiting the amount of time you could spend in those sorts of situations.
As for me, I kinda miss the magic meter.
5
If it hadn't run out so fast then maybe but I just found it frustrating that sprinting etc. was locked to it so every five seconds you had arbitrarily slow down.
4
Yeah, Stamina was stupid. It's not like there was any strategic elements in using the run function while travelling from place to place. I'm just going from point A to point B, let me run all the way.
6
It's an interesting argument, especially when I see games come out like Dark Souls which have a stamina meter that people don't seem bugged about. Not saying you, but some people.

Is that the fucking Bridge of Eldin!?
I was thinking it looked like the Great Bridge of Hylia, what with the lake beneath it and river flowing into it.
Either way, it looks EXACTLY like one of them.
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that bridge!
