She'll have the sheikah slate so you'd have sections like eventide island where you need to either sneak around enemies or use sheikah slate powers to incapacitate them.
It's less about it specifically being on the islands and more how it changes how the water is programmed in the game. Unless I'm remembering wrong the water in BOTW, all of it, was one singular plane of water, that was stretched upwards for the areas that were further above sea level, I mentioned this earlier in the other thread I think, but you obviously can't do that here, so the whole nature of the water had to be reprogrammed to work with the Sky Islands, which could indicate they may have changed how the geometry under the water works. Even more so tho with the ascend mechanics and caves the nature of the water has become much more complicated, as unless the game goes out of its way to actively avoid any instance of a sky island with water being directly above Link or any instance of a cave going underneath a pond or lake, than there's obviously gonna be instances in which the player fuses through a ceiling and straight up through a body of water. Thus ultimately meaning the very basic, not meant to be seen geometry from BOTW that most deep ponds and lakes had, will need to be reworked and why do that if we can't explore those areas?
The Zora Armor was cool for waterfalls but it was disappointing that it didn't at least give you infinite swimming stamina.
I'm the opposite. I'm currently replaying the game so i can see the differences in the regions, the NPC's life and remember the story well. As much as it can seem underwhelming to explore the same map again, i'm actually excited to have a sequel with characters that i loved and see how the world affected everyone's story.
Trust me on board with the Hopium for water exploration especially since we see a lot of the Sky islands congregating above the the open sea... My Hopium also lies with Fishing as well, so having some bodies of water that you can't go underneath the water, in would make them better candidates for fishing in my mind anyways. So having rivers and Lakes on the sky islands as well would make for unique types of fish you can catch. I was hoping to get some type of confirmation on bombs today, because that would hint at either fishing or not as well, BOTW access to bombs was 24-7 making fishing obsolete.
I think Aonuma’s statement meant moreso that the only vehicles in the game are ones you build, not that some will come later in the gameTrust me on board with the Hopium for water exploration especially since we see a lot of the Sky islands congregating above the the open sea...

On a similar but different topic, we now have confirmation that the lines we see stretching from the surface all the way up to the sky islands in this shot are not waterfalls off the sky islands because they evaporate almost immediately.
In the presentation, Aonuma made a point to say that the vehicles that were shown to us in the last trailer will be available to make at a later time in the game. So this is suggesting that this scene below takes place much later into the game and now we see all the lines coming up from surface.
So for one it kind of confirms that this world we play through will be dynamic with new events occurring in real time. I had made a post about a month showing this photo of link falling, and now that I look at it again, my guess is that it is coming from a pool of malice on the surface. We are now seeing a ton of pools of malice all over the surface and I am guessing they are conveniently located beneath the islands to suddenly erupt at some point and stretch up into the sky to grab the sky islands and try to pull them to the surface.
You are absolutely correct. I just listened to it again, and it says "Those vehicles aren't in the game from the start, instead you will be able to freely craft them on your own."
True. He made sure to say this video was going to be just a glimpse from the start and ended with that's all for now. Meaning there will be more ? Or maybe it's just about the eventual trailer we will get before release.
yeah obv they used the extra rendering power for other stuff.

Yea a lot of people already noticed it.Has this been posted from the Zeltik video yet? Nintendo made this toy in the 60s:
I agree with the more hostile point as well, it will be a great way to balance the game and keep us from getting too OP throughout the game, just as we think we’ve got the upper hand something crazy will happen to put us in our place. We will probably have to rethink what ever our strategy was and come up with a new solution to what ever changes as I’m sure Ganondorf has a few tricks up his sleeve for us.
A dynamic, changing overworld is actually an idea that I wanted to see happen with the BotW overworld in an expansion, though that idea would have been the world flooding and watching people migrate in response.
I think that's very interesting but that would imply that we could explore all the ocean area around hyrule and I doubt that. Would be awesome though.
Why are there so many things outside of Stable now? Something is building?
Leak's definitely fake (a lot of details are just off given what we know now about how crafting and such actually work) but yeah transport quests are kinda a given I'd say
