Short Thought: An Artwork to talk about


It doesn't matter if it's a leak or not, the artwork looks amazing. First off it gives us a glimpse of how fast and huge this world is hopefully going to be. This artwork screams adventure to me, and if the game does the same job capturing that vibe, than this truly could become something great. But I'm not only here to praise the artwork. I'm also talk shortly about the three interesting landmarks, we can see on the picture.

First of is death mountain. It has been featured prominently in all of the previous showings of the game, and I think it will at least house one of the (rumoured) four huge dungeons. Maybe they'll even go back and make it the final dungeon once again. However the next interesting thing on the picture speaks against this theory.

Left of Death Mountain in the middle of the wide open field, we can see a structure covered and surrounded by darkness. I'm pretty sure that this is Hyrule Castle and Castle Town. The shape of the structure with one large tower above one circle like structure is pretty similar to the castle in Twilight Princess. Interestingly there are four dark pillars surrounding the castle. So this could probably prove the leak from several days ago, that there will be four huge main dungeons and over one hundred mini-dungeons. Of course more pillars could simply be hidden from our view, but for now this is an interesting fact.

And lastly one lower left corner there seems to be some kind of mansion. My first thought, when I saw the main building and the tower in front of it, was, this is the church. And I would make sense. It looks over Hyurle Castle and it isn't too far away, so that it could be reached through a hidden tunnel. If that is the case and this is truly the church, than that means that this Hyrule could be based on the world of a Link to the Past.

What speaks against that theory is the placement of Death Mountain. Still I'm pretty sure that the building in the lower left corner of the picture is a church.

Lastly let's talk about Link. He is once again missing his signature green tunic and once again the quiver is clearly visible on his back. I know I'm just stating the obvious, but the Bow will probably play a pivotal role in this new adventure.


Edit:

Nintendo released a more detailed version of the screenshot, which unveils several watchtowers dotted across the landscape. We can also see a bridge crossing a body of water. Also on the left there are some snow covered mountains. Anyway here is the artwork:


And as always
