The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Exploration Gameplay - Nintendo E3 2016 

To be honest, I have no idea why I’m watching this. Almost two years after release, I’ve put hundreds of hours into the game, loving almost every minute. I guess I’m on a tiny nostalgia trip.

When I get this game, no one is going to see me for a LONG LONG time.

The nature, the environment, the grass and the animals are amazing!

Minor detail, but I love how Link's feet angle themselves to be flat against whatever surface he's on, such as standing on a roof.

Apparently I've put 2000 hours into my save… and yet I'm here watching a demo of the game's tutorial from 5 years ago. I love this game so much! 😭

what really impressed me was the ACTUAL custom map markers (sword, skull, shield, etc) to let you know EXACTLY what goal you plan to take of your choice. Much better than typical stock "primary and secondary" markers.

This is going to be the best open-world game ever made.

It’s been six years already? Omg the arrow of time 🤔 Still one of the greatest games I’ve played honestly

I disagree with the ppl saying "this doesnt feel like a zelda game". I've been a fan since very little. I wud even dress up as link when i was 4 years old with green skirts and white tights ... plastic toy swords lol. This feels very zelda to me even with all the changes. I'm so happy he made this one an open world with many many things to do

We got a new Xenoblade We got a new Fire Emblem We got a new Star Fox We got a new Kirby Were getting a new Pokemon Were getting a new Zelda Where's Metroid?

Im gonna spend 90% of this game just exploring and hunting with the bow. Best Zelda ever ,from what we've seen so far.

I love the lack of in-game music. Makes it feel a lot more grounded and 'real'

Looks unbelievably good. Can't wait - Nintendo knows how to make games no matter what people say about their decision making sometimes. Give them enough time, they always produce gems

I'm here watching this 5 years later after I've put hundreds of hours into the game and it still gets me excited even though I've seen all of this many times lol

The Zelda Scrolls V: Skyrule

Imagine this game on the Switch in multiplayer (with 2 separate consoles), 2 people playing together in the same world and roaming around individually, working together to find stuff?

13:00 Was that feature taken out in the final game? I don’t recall ever seeing it. Also, 13:35 there’s an animation when opening up the menu, and also when closing the menu. In the final game, it’s just a instant transition. I like the animation a lot better, it makes the game feel smoother and flow better

are there any giant crabs in this game? i only want to play it if there are giant crabs

17:34 Oh, nintendo...

I'm ready to give my life to this game...

link can take off his shirt im done

So this game's got elements of Minecraft's Survival mode with it's hunting and gathering, Elder Scrolls with the giant open world and the way you're thrown into it, and now MGSV with how you can scope things out, mark them and even scan enemies at 12:48. God damn, this is gonna be great.

Wow, I love this game so much and was so excited when it came out. It’s so nostalgic to watch this now and remember the hype I had for this game!

This game has promise. Can't wait for the release, hopefully it picks up a few awards

I just love the first few hours of the game. The whole thing is amazing but it's really awe inspiring the first moments walking out and taking anything on. Simply one of my favorite gaming memories

Chiko is amazing. Hope she's in all the conferences next year.

Almost 2 years later and I still love to go back and look at these from e3 2016. I love Chico!

This is stupid. It's not exactly like the old top down SNES version with true dungeons man. Nah I'm jk, poking fun at the Final Fantasy crowd. The Zelda crowd seems much more open to change. And this game looks great

watching these to relive my excitement in anticipation of tears of the kingdom. i’m so ready. just like botw, which has eaten hundreds of hours of my life, the things they’ve hinted at for totk have got me so excited i can barely wait!!

Good thing is i got no social life so i can play this 24/7

Only about half way through the video right now, but I just want to say that I'm really glad they added a temperature system in this game. Ever since trying the Frostfall mod for Skyrim, I've been in love with the concept of warmth based survival, and I feel like it's something a lot more games should take advantage of.

gosh i love the detail in this game cant wait to get it

I don't think I've ever been this excited for a game to come out. when will it be released? anyone know?

Why am I watching this four years later?

so many good memories of obsessing over E3 Treehouse live! This specific E3 with the Treehouse team playing the game was just so fun to watch, they played for hours while not spoiling anything

this looks so good

These presenters are the perfect balance of not too boring/awkward and not too hyper/quirky

This game will take over my life when it comes out.

Game of the generation. I wish I could play it again with no memory of it.

This will cure my depression...I-I can already feel the happiness!

This game is so big!!! I can't wait to explore it when it comes out!

I'm soon confused how one can criticize this game.. it's open world, which looks amazing.. it has a sense of realism while being a rpg.. It reminds me of my favorite games, runescape, fantasy life, and LoZ of course, rolled into one epic game. I've watched a bunch of people play this game and every time, they do something different.. And nintendo is promising this is only 2% of the game lol. That's pretty exciting to me. As far as the background music, or lack of, I like it. it's called "Breath of the Wild." there is no music playing out in the wilderness lol. plus it's a calming quiet, which would be really different from most other games. And I think it's a unique difference that people will enjoy. Overall the gameplay looks great. I really can't wait to get my hands on it and actually play it for myself lol

The struggle when you don't know if you'll buy this for Wii U or NX... I already own the Wii Dustcollector U Pretty much bought it for Zelda. Which... Took longer than I thought lol

Oh yeah! Link can now read his enemy's power level :D

Almost 5 years ago I remember watching this It was my first open world game and I thought it was unbelievable and awesome. I remember this one line “your going in the drink, your going in the water 2:49”

The games not even out yet and i'm allready adicted to it. I just can't get enough of the artstyle, the combat, the beutiful vistas, just looking at the size of the map makes me struggle to contain my hype. I love the mystery, the wonder, the excitement. The paraglider looks really fun. For some reason I just love the way you shoot arrows in this game, it looks very fluid. The RPG elements will probably suck me in. And all this for a game I've never even played, it can't come any sooner.

This game has so much packed into it. It is amazing

If the clothing options are stat-based, then I'm gonna assume that Link's traditional hat and tunic have the highest stats in the game. If I'm wrong then I would love a great customization feature.

Who's here before Nintendo Direct E3 2021?

The way they design the map was pure genius. I can found my own way to travel long distances without having to take a look at my map. I spent hundred hours on other games and I never succeed to memories so many places easily as I do in breath of the wild. This is where they make the revolution in « open world » games.

I feel like crying, this game is so beautiful. It's only been 3 months since E3. The game doesn't come until at least March. All I can say is, I NEED IT!!!!!!

A cloud passed overhead and blocked the sun briefly in this game. Awesome.

Zelda is finally as epic as it's lore's namesake. This game is going to be fantastic.

I used to binge watch these e3 gameplay vids for hours before the game came out, now I’m just glad I can play the game on my own without experiencing the pain of watching these gameplay videos.

The more I watch this game, the more amazing it looks. I am more than excited.

We can play this breathtaking game at home AND on the go! Long live the Switch!

zelda + skyrim = peak of gaming as we know it

The nostalgia of watching every treehouse gameplay vid for botw. That time was the best

from watching this video I can allready see how many cool little details that will be in this game. I can't wait!

I like how Zelda can now use an axe.

This game will be the death of me because i will forget to eat for 5 whole months

These videos eally helped once I got the game. I remember watching them again close to release to get as many newbie tips as I could hehe.

i LOVE this game so much i even got a ocarina of time amiibo yesterday for it!

Can I do a pacifist run? Can I be bff's with Ganon while we ride on Epona as we follow Tingle's hot air balloon into the sunset and NTR'ing Zelda super hard?

can link roll?

Man I watched this video so many times, I'm getting so much nostalgia

Wow! This game looks so beautiful. I'm so excited!

I'm getting a strong Shadow of the Colossus vibe from this game. I hope you'll be able to upgrade your max stamina.

I'm literally more excited for this than I was for No Man's Sky

This seems like an evolution of the wind waker format of exploration and mini rewards.

I just want to play this game SOOOO much. It will be so fun to take my time, and try to raid the goblin huts stealthily.

Been 30yrs since I killed Ganon. This one.. may make me buy a new Nintendo.

Now this is what the original The Legend of Zelda on the NES was meant to be, i'm hyped!

This is so beautiful. It's torture to watch all this while crying because I don't even know the release date

Just watching this reminded me of exactly why I became a Zelda fan back in the 80's. I love it and Link has only gotten hotter as he ages!

Can we all just appreciate how good Sam was as a host, she felt very genuinely excited yet calm and collected. It was really nice :) The many of the guest hosts felt like they were just phoning it in for the camera or trying to hype up the game because they get paid but she felt like she actually wanted to be there.

Its definitely the top 3 best Open world games ever made, and hands down the best Nintendo game ever made.

Look at him shiver in the cold. He's adorable. Does he get heatstroke in fire regions as well?

This looks amazing! I absolutely adore the artstyle, its like windwaker meets twighlight princess.

This easily looks like it will be one of the best games ever made. That map is HUGE!!! Also I love the idea of Stalchilds spawning at night like in Ocarina of Time

a durability meter for weapons would be nice...

For a big game get ready for LOOOOONG credits

this just makes me wanna get this game so much more! OMFG i can not wait for release! Hope there is a delux edition!

I've never played a Zelda game thoroughly before... That's 100% changing this time around! This game looks awesome xD

you know games are good when you've beat dark beast ganon 10 times and your watching this.

*grabs bokoblin arm, starts beating them with it* Why're you hitting yourself Why're you hitting yourself

all the little details and....and....ahhhh i need this game!!!

I can't wait, this is amazing. I was always glad to own a Wii U and as it seems it will go down with a huge bang! :)

I NEED LEGEND OF ZELDA BREATH OF THE WILD I THINK YOU CAN ALL AGREE!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!

"0/10. It's not a complete retread of Ocarina of Time/Link to the Past." -Every "old school" Zelda fan ever.

Love watching this after 6 years of playing the game; there are actually a few very minor differences between this and the final version.

So worth the wait

Wouldn't it be cool if they included an eclipse or a meteor shower in the game, and you would only be able to see it after you've played the game for a REALLY long time?

20:00 the water doesn't look like this in the final (switch) version. it looks awesome here.

We came a long way sin duda

Man that game looks so so good. Can not wait to play it on the switch

The only complaints are where is the music and the opening chest animation?

Tears of the kingdom…

wow, this looks amazing! cant wait!

Finally Zelda gets back to it's roots of open exploration! We haven't had a game this open and explorable since the very first Zelda on the NES. Just like the NES, you're basically given no dialog or story and told to just 'do it'. You can do dungeons out of order and everything. Even the first character you meet is a robed old man! I can't wait to play this game!
