Never realized it, but interesting how Skyward Sword, the first game in the timeline, was where Breath of the Wild, the latest in the timeline got a lot of it's beloved mechanics. It kinda comes full circle doesn't it? Edit: Then again, Wind Waker also played with the gliding mechanic.

[@devonm042690]

The Deku Leaf is actually a more accurate analogue to the Paraglider than the Sailcloth, considering using the Deku Leaf to glide costs magic, which is what was ultimately replaced by stamina.

[@jonathand.4088]

The BotW prototype had the sailcloth instead of the glider

[@chiffmonkey]

It's full circle by design. What Ganondorf says at the end of Twilight Princess is basically a cue for "It's time for us to explain this curse", hence Skyward Sword at the start of the timeline. BotW then takes that curse to its inevitable conclusion at the end of the timeline. I reckon it's setting up for the BotW sequel to be something to do with trying to end the curse. Also... OoT has the gliding mechanic, just it's disguised as a Cucco. :P

[@7Seraphem7]

Your reaction to Pyra and to Skyward Sword was amazing. And this is how Directs usually go, a little something for everyone, with a few "OH HELL YES!" reveals mixed in. On BOTW2 yeah, would love news but.... Nintendo lives by the motto "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is bad forever." And they know what they are doing so yeah it's worth a bit of a wait for something amazing.

[@amycamilo3596]

I don't think people realize that Nintendo doesn't have to focus on HUGE MAIN Nintendo games. They do this every direct, they make some big announcement and then the other game's are shown. Yea this direct was Ehh, but that doesn't mean people have to go all crazy because it wasn't what they expected and they don't like the other games. If your not a fan of the other games then ok your not a fan, I personally love RPG's and I was hype, did I expect a little more yea, everyone did. people just get so salty some time and it makes me furious.

[@Thefabregas22]

I know some people were disappointed and I don't blame them since it's been so long since the last proper direct but overall I don't think it was that bad. It definitely had a few announcements that I thought seemed pretty good. I'm assuming we'll get a direct in the summertime as well to show off the second half of the year titles.

[@fieratheproud]

I think this direct was pretty cool, it had new games I'm personally interested in (Splatoon3, Famicom Detective Club), some that I'm not gonna play but do seem interesting and feel like something people who likes games like that might enjoy (triangle strategy) and a few that i don't care for at all (DC superhero girls). ...I think I just go into directs with a different mindset to a lot of people who seem to expect to only see Mario Smash Zelda Metroid Popular Game Ported On Switch, things like that. Meanwhile I'm just here to see what's new and occasionally scream bc I did not expect Skyward Sword HD or Splatoon 3.

[@RiN_edits]

I love how he gets increasingly more confused as the trailer goes on

[@Hey-Its-Dingo]

Every direct has a hype drop in the middle like this, sadly. But the experience of it is seeing what they announce because it's a mystery box of games, you could get a load of crap or you could get non-stop bangers. Both have a chance of happening, but the majority of Directs have pockets of serious hype amid a pool of "eh" you take what you get, but the fun is in the anticipation, because you never know until the Direct is over.

[@667GameFreak]

I understand why you gave it a weird look, but Miitopia is a pretty fun and humorous game. I reccomend it. Not sure it'd be good for streaming though, might be good tomjust play it on your own time.

[@Sandromatic]

Nah it's great for streaming because of how wild the character interactions are.

[@sergiogodinez3770]

In this Direct we did see Eiji Aonuma casually mention that we would have an update on Breath Of The Wild 2 later this year, so there's that. And in the meantime, there's plenty of fun games coming out in 2021 that were mentioned in this Direct. And even games like DC Super Hero Girls can excel past their target audience if the gameplay and design quality are good. Point is, there's something for everybody in a Direct like this, and there's plenty to look forward to. So let's not stress about games that haven't released yet, let's enjoy what we have now, and keep making those Zelda livestreams, Deebs. ;)

[@Parmandur]

The cool thing about the big directs is the huge scattershot: even when seeing games I'm not interested in, it's cool to know what's out there and know that someone out there is excited. It's pretty cool to get the Famicom Detective Club games after 30 years of waiting.

Mario Golf, Age of Calamity DLC, Octopath Traveller Sequel, Legend of Mana, Pyra for Smash, Mario stuff for Animal Crossing, Hades Physical Release, Skyward Sword, Splatoon 3, Fall Guys and I surely missed something. That was a really good direct actually and I try to be disappointed, but I can't. 😂

[@masterswordwielder]

@@CogCreate Me too, but the main point was that there were enough announcements and many say that there was nothing

[@MajotasWrath64]

Glad to hear they figured out how to bring Skyward sword to switch. The motion controls weren’t too bad, it was what it was for back in the day. The ability to physically fight with motion controls was an interesting concept. It was actually quite a workout, especially in the later end of the game. I found that made it more enjoyable. The release of this game is a silent groundbreaker. Because of the motion & standard controls gets a good reception? Could be a new standard for future Zelda’s.

The thing about directs is that it’s a time where games that normally go under the radar, get a chance to shine. Not every game is going to be a masterpiece of course, but I’m sure that every game presented today is atleast one persons new favorite. Basically, just don’t come into directs expecting an announcement for your favorite game(s) and expect to see some bizarre titles.

[@ClientLost]

I would say temper your expectations for Directs; they contain a little bit of everything for everybody, so it's natural to not be thrilled at 100% of everything you see. The content here is pretty standard fair as far as Directs go. Also, even though this was the first full non-mini Direct they've released in a long time they weren't going to show all their heavy-hitters. Nintendo tends to keep their hand pretty close to their chest. Most of their biggest reveals tend to be shown on their E3 and Holiday Directs. But despite everything, I'm really excited about most of what they've shown today and I know there's even more to come!

[@goldenzer0theoreo]

Yeah splatoon 3 and that new character incliding skywards sword HD is great to be honest.

DeeBee I saw that you had some interest in Outer Wilds. I just want to say that Outer Wilds was my favorite game of 2019 and one of my favorite games of all time. It's available on PC and PS4/Xbox right now. It's the kind of game where the less you know about it the better, and this Switch trailer already tells you alot. I would absolutely love to watch you play through Outer Wilds.

Outer wilds is one of those game that right after you finish the game you wish to lose your memory to experience the game all over again, it’s super underrated

Skyword sword is literally amazing! I think people were frustrated because the controls were a pain, I hope they fix that. This zelda game is probably in my top 3. I remember I wanted it to be more like twilight princess so it made it harder to get into it, but honestly it's so cute, cool and fun!

[@Sam-Pereira]

Skyward Sword HD for Switch comes out in July but you ideally should be doing Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess after OoT, so the timing might actually be perfect!! I'm so excited lmao

[@chiffmonkey]

OoT -> MM -> TP should not be played in any other order than that order. Same with OoT -> WW -> PH -> ST and ALttP -> ALBW. Everything else, Skyward Sword included can be played whenever really. Link's Awakening is interesting because the devs specifically said the story could apply to "any Link who has fought Ganon". The fact it was released prior to OoT makes it tie into OoT -> MM -> TP in a very interesting way regarding how Link interprets his dreams.

[@Waxotoo]

@@chiffmonkey you can play these game in any order really, never played OoT until recently and i could only agree with ''OoT -> MM'' cuz they're almost tied to eachother

[@chiffmonkey]

@@Waxotoo Yes you *can*, but they're better played in order. I.E. the thematic arc across OoT -> MM -> TP about growing up, facing mortality and finding a balance between childhood and adulthood respectively. OoT before WW improves the visit to Hyrule Castle but is probably the most minor thing here. WW -> PH is a direct sequel and ST takes the King's decision to its thematic conclusion. And playing ALBW before ALTTP will just devalue ALTTP.

[@BLeePrit]

@@Waxotoo Twilight Princess and Wind Waker are pretty neat to play after Ocarina if you care about the timeline since both games are indirect sequels to Ocarina in separate timelines.

[@Keanine]

If there's anything you should know about Directs, it's that they always start and end well, but the middle is usually pretty iffy

[@TGHunter]

"middle is usually pretty iffy" Yea... Samurai Warriors 5 Monster Hunter Rise No More Heroes 3 Neon White Miitopia SaGa Remaster Legend of Mana Remaster New game from Dangan devs Ninja Gaiden Collection New RPG Project from Square Enix For me this middle looks dope af as well There were like only 3 games i think that looked bad or iffy.

[@barcster2003]

Yeah the best part about directs if often the beginning and end. They throw some stuff in the middle like DC girls because they know people are watching for things like Splatoon 3. Still some great games but yes not everything is going to be amazing.

[@Keanine]

@@TGHunter Yeah I suppose it depends what you want from the direct really, it's probably more of a personal thing. I'm not much of a fan of JRPGs or generally games with very Japanese game design, and as a Japanese company they obviously put some focus on their own games, I think it would help if they spent a little less time on all the middle games and linked to extended trailers for people to watch for the games that need it. I didn't really want to watch 5 minutes of project triangle strategy, I know how a fire emblem game plays and it seems fairly similar That said, I'm very hype for No More Heroes and Neon White looks surprisingly refreshing even though they had shorter segments. I guess a better way to put it is that the Nintendo stuff is at the beginning and the end which makes it the most consistently interesting for everyone since those first party games are likely why you own the console!

[@traviscarroll5762]

I'm excited for Monster Hunter, Mario Golf, and Skyward Sword. Pretty good direct, especially anticipating a Zelda-specific one coming up.

[@ArynBacklogDragon]

Honestly I thought this direct was pretty good, sure, we didn't get the Big Heavy Hitters like Metroid Prime 4, or BoTW2, but there was still a lot of cool stuff like No More Heroes 3 finally getting a release date, Mario Golf, Pyra in Smash, Splatoon 3, Monster Hunter Rise. even the more niche stuff like Famicom detective club, Triangle Strategy, and World End Club looked pretty sweet! Overall, way more hits than misses.

[@barcster2003]

I think that's what people are really disappointed about. Splatoon 3 and smash were the big hitters and for some people they don't see it that way.

[@TimeturnerJ]

Directs are like this. There are announcements for everyone there, the hardcore gamers and the little children alike. You can usually expect two or three really hype announcements, but a lot of the games are simply directed at different target audiences. Anyone who actually gets salty doesn't understand that. This was a pretty average Direct, so it's probably something you should adjust your expectations to.

[@masterdeity3400]

Thank you. I don't get why people are so pissed about the Dc Super Hero girls game.

[@theotakuoftime6465]

General directs are like this. All and all it was good considering we knew nothing about 2021. It’s still early so i expect Nintendo has more Zelda 35th anniversary planned to be revealed like with Mario. Keep in mind it’s donkey kongs 40th, Pokémon’s 25th and Metroids 35 as well so they could just not want to overshadow it all with everything Zelda at once. Pokémon is doing an event for its 25th around the 27th of February for more announcements likely.

[@Matthew_Murray]

I’m really excited for Pyra in Smash but I also want to let you know do not play Smash Bros while doing your Xenoblade play-through because it does contain a major spoiler

[@allingbrodniak8819]

At least not until half way point at Prison Island

[@UchaNekome]

To inform you as a newcomer to Nintendo directs this is how it usually goes. Most of the time, they start with something big and end with something big. Stuff in the middle appeal to niche audiences. Like I personally was ecstatic for Miitopia cause I played the original and know how freaking fun and hilarious it could be. So many memes dude. Let me tell you though Splatoon 3 is huge. They usually end on Zelda, Mario, Pokemon, Smash, or with an announcement of a new title in a key franchise.

All Zelda games basically come somewhere on a sliding scale between open world and entirely story driven, and many people get frustrated at the more story focused ones.
