This is a general about all Zelda games, mainline and spin-offs like Hyrule Warriors, and all discussions related to the LoZ series. All Breath of the Wild discussions are welcome.
I noticed that the only villain we've seen so far in BotW is Calamity Ganon, who is just an ominous ball of darkness hovering around in the distance. Are we going to have a character who shows up periodically to threaten Link? I know everyone has mixed feelings on Ghirahim and Zant, but having a continuous presence throughout the game helps sell the whole sense of doom. And this time it wouldn't even have to be a "haha there was a different big bad THE WHOLE TIME" asspull since we already know about Calamity Ganon. But he's gotta have a few minions besides random monsters, right?
Brayden Moore
You've been warned
Cameron Morris
Old man is Ganondorf so he'll have a presence throughout.
Carter Wilson
The flames are similar to SS when Fi slowly transforms into the master sword.
Anthony Davis
>Ganondorf was separated from Ganon and the Triforce >Ganon without Ganondorf creates the Calamity Ganon >Ganondorf actually gets his sanity and wishes to help Link Hold up now....... The old man in Zelda 1 is Ganondorf confirmed
or you know he's leading Link on so he can merge both back into one again
Chase Murphy
FISH WHEN?!
Benjamin Fisher
>confirmed
Isaac Clark
Huge house on that cliff
Christopher Nelson
I bet the overall plot is just going to be finding the sages again and trying to seal Ganon away properly this time
Nathan Robinson
green tunic when?
Bentley Evans
When did he appeared?
Blake Nelson
How about fish people?
Ryan Richardson
I noticed during the trailer that not only does Calamity Ganon shift to look like the Pig Wizard from ALttP, Zelda 1/2 and so forth, but also into a feral boar form ala TP.
Is Calamity Ganon basically every timeline's Ganon fused together into just one massive Super Pig of Darkness that is threatening everything?
Luis Carter
Alright, I think i'm finished with the webms. Let me know if you want a specific segment of the trailer I didn't upload.

>we've seen the bird >we've seen the camel now we just need the dragon and elephant
Jonathan Reyes
what are those things next to ganon?
Bentley Baker
Have a wonderful day.
Josiah Murphy
>elephant It's here Looks like the Dragon is Ganon fighting with Zelda, the one in white and using magic, and Link, who is using a sword.
Juan Evans
oh fuck, and we've seen the Gecko note: they were all mechanical, so are they important for progressing? interesting
Adrian Young
These might be Hyrule's counterpart to Termina's 4 guardian giants. Notice how Ganon looks a bit like a chinese dragon (with a pig snout). Do you remember the chinese dragons of SS?
Cooper Gutierrez
Wait didn't people manage to translate the symbols to the latin alphabet? Or were those different symbols
Bentley Carter
Also here.
Josiah Davis
Let's get to work niggas
Oh shit, I didn't notice it before
John Lopez
>I have no arms, but I must open chests.
Nathaniel Brown
HYPE
Landon Wilson
I'm pretty sure that's the Camel 2 reasons legs are skinny and that one part where Link is standing next to Red hair qt Gerudo, it's in a desert and you know they kinda look the same so
Noah Robinson
Anyone have a full image of the map?
Julian Young
Be nice. She can do what Link does and kick it.
Hudson Hernandez
I don't understand. How do you know which letter is each symbol?
Oliver Jackson
We need better scans. The faggot hides too many characters and the ones in the 3rd are almost unreadable.
Bentley Morris
I took those picture from the treehouse stream in-case someone didn't have a better one I haven't seen one of the whole map in good detail
Luke Jones
Here, have a little something made from this, for future shitposting purposes.
Jaxon Scott
Some people dweebed out hardcore and figured it out. Old news at this point.
Asher Bailey
People managed to fit the symbols with words that make sense in certain parts in the game
i.e. one part is rotating gears with a couple of symbols and they figured out the symbols said "ROTATE" and those letters lined up with other words.
Tyler Baker
48 more days... what shall I do for 48 more days... I shall save up my money so I can actually pay for this
Colton Rogers
...
Leo Lopez
Only managed to make out one word
Logan Phillips
i never played zelda. but this game seems cool. i may buy a switch for this and the new mario.
Anyway, one can't help but notice that they went out of their way to make Link into premium grade fan girl bait. And the Gerudo are in this game. And you can travel to their town. Yeah.
The real question is how subtle the gag will be when it inevitably comes up, on a scale of 1-10. 1 being it's only vaguely implied, 10 being every citizen openly running a train on him in the street.
Chase Phillips
Senpai we're lorest deeping right now, come back later
Robert Fisher
That works if you drop the W and swap H for F. Did the artists make a spelling mistake?
If Zora people are now included on the game, does that mean Kass, that black bird and the new bird people are not related to Ritos? If so, then they must be descendant of loftwings, or not at all.
William Russell
right side
(hy)rule ni tsutawaru yakusai no na wa ganon
the name of the calamity transmitted/passed down in hyrule is ganon
Grayson Anderson
I'm going through some new gameplay videos and looking for any new text that hopefully hasn't already been translated
Looks like there's a second alphabet in botw?
Jace Carter
Better angle
Dylan Mitchell
Stable?
Luis Scott
I cut together the Zelda scenes.
Asher Carter
left side
yuusha to seinaru hime ga kore o fuuin
the hero and holy princess sealed this
Matthew Adams
What a cutie
Sebastian King
I'm also assuming it says stable, but it looks very similar to the Hylian from SS
Jack Thomas
I just noticed the fucking stingray-head in the background.
Anthony Morgan
While cutting this together, I noticed that Zelda is hiding behind Link. Anyone else notice this? The trailer was focusing on Link, but if you don't slow it down, you're going to miss her.
Jeremiah Moore
I did, but only when I saw a breakdown of the trailer. I'm just hype as fuck for this game.
Levi Hill
You might as also miss Link behind Zelda during the light magic scene.
Looks like she saves him from the guardian.
Joseph Evans
There's also a huge ass Zora behind the red one. You can notice it breathing
Hunter Martin
If my Zelda autism serves me right, looks similar to Twilight Princess's version of Hylian.
Perhaps we can use that for a lot of non-Shiekian text to figure out a lot of things.
Logan Sullivan
Saw that bit for sure.
Adrian Miller
Man Fi is fucked up
Chase Richardson
Does this happen right after he pulls the master sword from the pedestal? It's gotta be considering it's all fucked up exactly as it's shown in the official art.
That's a first. Getting ambushed in what should be a glorious moment.
Xavier Sullivan
So I'm assuming guardian only attack Link and nothing else? Otherwise it would have locked on to Zelda.
Yeah I think it happens right after.
Jordan Moore
That would be my assumption
Adam Parker
>Guardians only attack the person with the Master Sword >They were once Guardians >They got slaved >mfw tulpanon was right all along
Samuel Foster
In case nobody posted a comparison. I shooped the spear out of Ganon's hand and he looks a LOT like the calamity
Ian Perez
Well yeah, it's the calamity ganon It would be weird if he didn't look like ganon
Nathan Hernandez
Yeah but it looks more like pig gannon than I had initially thought.
