"if i told you every change we would run out of time"
he took that personaly
If they do Korok seeds in this game it's be pretty cool if they go the Gratitude Crystal route from Skyward Sword. Doing certain sidequests can net you about 5 Gratitude Crystals per quest. So maybe in TOTK doing certain sidequests for Koroks can net you Korok seeds, how many depends on the Korok's sidequest.
They showed off a korok puzzle on accident in the last trailer.
I think the koroks are going to be more Quest related on the what that Korok said and having Beetles backpack.
@@AnAmericanMusician where?
@@AnAmericanMusician not confirmed just a orange think that looks like the pinwheel
@@bennybull9935 No. One of the flower puzzles.
I just realized the reason we don’t have the Champion’s abilities anymore was because they fulfilled their unfinished business which was to defeat Calamity Ganon, thus they are finally able to rest in peace along with their abilities
Or maybe bc the same abilities would be lazy from a gameplay perspective and the devs wanted to add new features
@@TheOnlyShoura ofc, but it’s nice to think about theories of why something isn’t.
@@TheOnlyShoura yes, that’s obviously the real world reason, but I think the OP is considering an in-universe explanation for why Link no longer has those abilities. Often times there’s simply no explanation for why the hero doesn’t have the same abilities that they had at the end of the previous game.
But Ganon rose, which is like wayyy worse than calamity Ganon, they ain’t got time to rest in peace lol
That actually makes sense, although Ganon came back it seems it was sometime after the end of the Calamity, whose defeat was really their purpose!
There’s something about the updated hud elements that I really like.
Like coordinates
Bruh they changed like 2 things lol
@@Mirage475 yep but he havnt seen the inventory but its more likely the same
The coordinates were badly needed
@@cmd2973 and thank god weapon durability is still the same
There's no arrow in the top-left hud with the bow out, it's still the shield. The fuse ability may have replaced arrow types
Defonitely, I thought that was implied with the ice fuse we saw
With everything you can now attach to an arrow, there is no need for special arrows
In English, the new enemies are called Constructs
In Japanese and Spanish, they're called Golem
To be fair, a Golem *IS* a construct.
@@tetravega567 dnd players get it
We don't even know why there are islands in the sky, some seem like places that were on the surface before, but like Aonuma said, some are man-made and the yellow trees are a unique trait, so there is still a lot to unfold here, we are not ready for this!
zonai tech and maybe twili involved or zonai are from twili
Tears of the kingdom, literally pieces of Hyrule ascended into the heavens
I'm assuming the construction sites are a narrative reason for Link to have vehicle parts readily available
Vehicle and building parts. We can make a house.
I hope it goes into the whole "We need to rebuild Hyrule" narrative Zelda said in the ending of BOTW.
Bingo. But hopefully some side quests to actually help folks build houses/structures too
All I know is, I’m going to ENJOY jumping from the Sky Islands and skydiving to the surface.
As well as watching crazy speedruns!!
I wish the music was completely different. That would help make it feel very different.
3:46 I think the lighting is different because the sun is shining from a completely different direction that is not explained by a difference in the time of day! The sun's trajectory is different than in BotW.
There was also a thing on the sky island, when he was showing the “ascend” ability. Right before he did that, it looked like there was a (friendly?) construct by a fire with a cooking pot on it.
4:30 Ironically before buying Switch one year later, I decided to buy Breath of the Wild on Wii U. Even beat Twilight Princess again just to level up my Wolf Link amiibo that time. I decided to do it that time since I knew another new Zelda game was bound to come to Switch, but what was unexpected was a direct sequel.
People forget a flower that's used for some korok seeds in botw already appeared in the last trailer, just right when the logo appears on top of the rock near the screen
I think the reason for the smoke coming out of the stables is to just spot them a little bit easier
I was so disappointed when I heard THE SAME music in the ice location. :( That's a bad sign.
Someone also pointed out that when Link is submerged under water for a split second, the top left icon for the ascend ability lights up, the theory behind it being, that we might get to explore the sea floor later on?
I feel like the title of this video should add (so far.)
I doesn’t look completely different, but I feel like it looks a lot prettier. I won’t be upset if they don’t, but I hope we get more abilities than shown. Like, there was that giant glider thing that Link was riding on in that one trailer, but it didn’t looks like something he had built.🤔
Will we be able to use the new skill to build fences, houses? Can we pull apart structures like the tree forts, etc?
i have the impression sometimes they are avoiding showing towards south, i wonder if there could be new stuff there
I’ve gotten that impression too. Now that the Zonai connection is confirmed, I bet there’s gonna be some weird stuff going down at the old ruins they don’t want us to know about.
Yup. They only ever stay in one area.
I can't wait to see speedrunners play this, it's going to be nuts!
This is gotta be awesome and I can’t wait to play this game
I will throw a boloblin off a Skyland and skydive with em! Lol
I never thought of that, now I want to explore that even more. Besides, I wasn't the only gamer to throw Bokoblins and Moblins off the cliff right?
Sky island*
Dude that sounds hilarious! Imagine if you can get to the ground before them and use Recall to send them back up, lol.
I am hoping that tears of the kingdom would get more amiibos and i think it would be cool when there would also be a amiibo figure of a construct 1:59 similar to the guardian amiibo from breath of the wild
I think that all of the Shrines & maybe even the Sheikah Towers have returned to their resting places underneath Hyrule!
When talking about stuff thats changed or missing, kinda missing the big elephant in the room. Where are the divine beasts? As far as i can tell, they havnt shown up in any shots yet, not even the wide pan when you can see pretty much the whole of hyrule
Maybe they simply vanished? Perhaps the Shiekah programmed all of their tech to simply vanish after they've served their purpose.
Why would you want divine beasts back? At the end BOTW the champions spoof out, finally resting in peace along with the King. The beasts that had the intention of being average dungeons served their purpose, there would be no reason at all to have sheikah ruins hanging around in the map aside being a waste of space.
@@Gamepablo just saying i can see how and why the towers and shrines can go "mission accomplished, returning underground", but the beasts are a little harder to just tuck away somewhere. I really doubt after finally getting them back under control hyrule would just go "i'm sure we'll never need these super weapons ever again" given they know history keeps repeating. So just from a narrative stand point i doubt they'd disassemble them (if they even could), and theres very few places you could hide them away without being seen, so where are they
I was originally feeling like it wasn't going to be that interesting returning to the same world again. But now I'm pretty excited to see what all has changed on the surface. I'm hoping there will be more towns, but I'm also hoping for more caves and things like that. I felt like caves were kind of a zelda staple and there weren't as many of them as I was hoping for in Breath of the Wild. Almost every bombable wall on a mountain or cliffside just had pretty simple stuff inside or a korok.
Awesome video
I wonder if link will get a cool looking energy master sword
Man if we get to build homes and stuff for people, that would be sooooo awesome
I didn't realize the many differences on the UI. Keep it up!
This was helpful, good eye!
So hyped!
Nice analysis! Another difference not mentioned in this video is that in Tears of the Kingdom, the name of the stable doesn't appear when getting close, like in Breath of the Wild.
I was expecting them to make it either "looks the same but it's 60 fps now" or "looks much better but it's still 30 fps". This is neither but I need the Digital Foundry analysis to make sure.
Ngl I am really happy there is no more shrines. I felt like in the latter half of the game horses were underused, and now they appear to be a main method of travel.
It's so cool that the zonai are real!
They always were tho
Imagine rebuilding places like LonLon Ranch or the Castle Town! That'd be awesome!
0:40 well it also said recall was "rewind" so the text on the gameplay might be messed up
I think the name of the abiliry is recall, while the name of the action is rewind
Same as the ultrahand which the name of the actions there is stick and what not
@@christiankhnana5284 yeah you're most likely right
So excited for Breath of the Wild 1.6
Swirling green things will be the new shrines imo.
Revived Ganondorf: I shall create the Hyrule cleanup Initiative. We shall make Hyrule Great Again. Build the wall! Link: ☠️
I image rev Gannon would instead " build back better" after some chocolate chocolate chip ice cream.
When he said: "rise, my servants, and sweep over hyrule"
He actually meant to literally sweep the entire land of hyrule, and clean it from all this mess
😂😂😂🫥
"Zelda, we need to drain the swamp."
I pre ordered the system to day I love the color
bro you get nothing out of lying the preorders arent even open lmao
@@borgroves2076 they are actually want a link
@@borgroves2076 target still got some in stock
Sure it is Target, but it still EXISTS
@@borgroves2076Gamestop has em open
Personally I wish they would've sought improved performance over improved visuals, but it's still a welcome improvement.
The game seems to be performing alright to me. I wasn't watching for framerate really so don't know if it's a locked 30fps but it looks pretty stable. 60fps was never going to be realistic - here's hoping that when Switch 2 comes out this game plays at 60fps on that.
The Green "Swirls" will be Fast Points since the Towers are gone.
I'm really really hoping for underwater exploration. Specifically skull lake.
Construct ?!? im so confused in spanish and japenese and french they are called golem bro they litteraly called construct 😂😂
„This is what happens when a WiiU-Version doesn‘t hold you back…“
This happens when you need even more time for the sequel than the original and the engine-developers begin to scratch out every bit of perfomance of the Tegra X1 in the Switch because they are bored😂
I am so freaking excited for totk but who isn’t
0:36 xD
Whoa... to Whoa! lool
I bet those stacks of wood are materials to build things, probably scattered around the world so you can always build what you need.
Looks like the same wood stuff they have on the car in the last trailer.
Ok
There’s a structure on one of the mountains that wasn’t in the original
The whole point of the base game they’d built I had hoped meant faster turnaround times. I’d be more excited if this were 3 years after BOTW.
Same it feels odd to reuse so much but chnage so much at the same time. It feels like half of it as an update while the other is a whole new game
To all y’all calling it DLC you have to remind yourselves that you could say the same as Mario Galaxy 2 or potentially Majorca’s Mask. I have issues with the game in different places but to call or dlc it unjust.
They didn’t take 6 years and cost more than the first.
Even if it took 1 that doesn’t change the argument. Calling dlc refers only to the content. You can’t say that jf the game had the same content but came early, that would not make it DLC
@@bluekirby6120 there are some dlc that actually goes to this extent so it’s not out of the world( xenoblade 2 dlc)
@@13lordaaron yeah but it is shorter than the full game. This will probably be the same size as BotW or bigger
Its still dlc since it started out as DLC and then nintendo decided to make it a second game😂
4:34 wait, there won’t be a wii u version?
Bro…
Hahahahaha
I'm making a shirt for Hyrule Cleanup Campaign.
i bet the new reward from koroks will be their piss in a jar
It's like going from splatoon 1 to splatoon 2
you see splatoon 2 and you think "They barely changed the look" then you see a comparison and "Wow look how good everything looks!"
I got a question are the Devine beast of breath of the wild appears in tear of the kingdom? Since there no more shrine and towers
They didn't fix the biggest problems from botw though.
Koroks
Blood moons
Weapon breaking
oooo
I am very impressed with the new mechanics but disappointed how similar the world looks + reusing the same cold and stable music tracks. Like they couldn’t even remix the music a bit? They couldn’t change up the seasons more and the grass color of the overworld? Mixed feelings for sure.
Yeah definitely I see why people call this a glorified dlc ngl it’s looking like one right now
I mean … grass is grass and based off of the fact that it is a sequel I think the cold music is fine but they could have at least changed the stable music sense it does already look a bit different
I don't think Hyrule is really gonna be the big draw for this game. It seems like Hyrule is just a means to get into the sky or underground. That's where all the new music will probably be, based on what we heard earlier in the gameplay demo
Change the stable mystic to “ Who’s let the dog out”
@@CDRiley lol and the cold weather music to a Christmas song
I noticed that the constructs are called golems in Japanese. Not sure why they need to always change names.
Despite that name being commonly used in fantasy all the time it's supposedly offensive
If up on the D-pad is now resources instead of change abilities, how will you select abilities? Will you have to pause in order to change which one is selected?
I think it automatically changes depending on the situation
Maybe holding the button?
Possibly "hold" and use stick to choose from a circle menu (which is why it's not shown).
@@AK_otter how would it know if you want to fuse a log with your weapon or use the log to make a boat?
The pink cloud= someone farted.
Am I the only one that thinks this is a prequel...
yes
Yes
1:46, not much sense in the people rebuilding Hyrule yet. Ganondorf is about to return!!
We don't know how much time has passed between botw and totk, so there could have been enough time for them to start rebuilding
@@christiankhnana5284 Based on the fact that Zelda and Link haven’t aged at all, it can’t have been more than a year or two, but I doubt the citizens would be aware that Ganon is returning regardless
@@metroidfoosion73 doubt it. Hylians are more similar to elves than humans. So they're likely to age slower than us
@@user-ee6lk1pb6w But remember Ocarina of Time? Link was a Hylian, and when the Master Sword made him jump forward 7 years, he looked like a teenager. If Hylians aged slower, he’d still look like a kid, but he had markedly aged. Seems like humans and Hylians age at the same rate
@@user-ee6lk1pb6w Aside The Kokiri are better exampls of elves than Hylians (lest because they didn't age in OoT). Specifically for this game, Hylians are shown to have normal human lifespans whereas the Shiekah are able to be living for some more decades on average (see Impa, Purah and Robbie).
How long do you think this game takes place after botw?
It’s 2 years after
This took them 6 years to make.
Why didn’t you guys talk about the slightly different colors and shading? What about the new water?
Man where’s the miiverse water guy when you need him
What
@@kendricklyon9633 there was a guy on miiverse that would only send pictures of the water in games and say cool water or something
That's the prettiest water I've seen since Metroid Prime Remastered, and probably Mario Galaxy before that.
Man, this world looks too big for me
The guardians have stayed on that field for 100 years, but now they’ve supposedly been cleaned up in a matter of months? Seems kinda unlikely. This could just as well be a parallel world with Zonai instead of Sheikah.
You forget that during those 100 years, they had to worry about the guardians waking up at any time specifically because Calamity Ganon was in control.
Given that he was genuinely believed to be gone, why wouldn't it be likely that they'd get on that now that the major cause for concern is seemingly no longer around?
After Calamity Ganon's defeat, it's likely all sheikah tech reverted, either into the ground or back under sheikah control. It's possible they could have put themselves away, since everything had to be excavated and reactivated 100+ years ago in the first place. It's hard to say if it all disappeared, especially with Robbie and Purah around, but a parallel world sounds a little far-fetched, even if the series has done it before. It seems far more likely they are tying it back to Skyward Sword (which makes sense with it being the only rerelease between the two titles), and the Zonai are the tie back to the sky realm, as well as the magic/tech providers for this game.
@@zetsubou1v1 yeah, the last few times they did parallel worlds, it usually wasn't that level of similar. Even ALttP and ALBW had small (albeit notable) differences between the Dark World and Lorule, with the same being true for the Light World/Hyrule.
But then again, as Aonuma said we were only seeing a small portion of what's different in Tears of the Kingdom, so who knows?
Reaching hard
@@lordnul1708 Do we have evidence of guardian activity during the 100 years while Link was asleep? I mean, Ganon only reappears above the castle after Link activates the tower. It’s possible that everything was quite until then.
I feel like a lot is not being shown.
There’s no Korok forest either
Is it possible this game is set *before* Breath of the Wild rather than after? Maybe those shrines are missing because they haven't been built yet? Maybe the construction sites are the missing structures being built. Or is this nonsense and we've already seen something that proves it really is set after Breath of the Wild?
I think links arm being as it is in totk shows that the game as after botw, don't see link recovering from that
Still kind of a bummer how much everything's the same.
New buildings go up & down in my city all the time, but it doesn't feel like I'm exploring something new when I travel to them. Adding new buildings & landmarks, removing old ones, changing some minor details & enemy placement, etc.... still feels like the same exact place.
Sky islands will be cool, new shrines/dungeons/whatever this game has will be cool & all, but ultimately it's more akin to Pokemon DLC adding new areas/Pokemon/items & less of a completely new world like Skyrim was to Oblivion. The latter used very similar mechanics & the same engine, but still felt entirely new. The former just gave you new stuff to do & new features to a game we already knew well.
In the end, I'll still be buying the game, and I'm sure I'll love it. But after seeing this, I'm even more firm in my belief that there's *ZERO* justification for the $70 price tag other than they know they can get away with it.
I thought this game would compete for game of the year. Now it seems not very likely. This doesn't feel fresh. The same world, the same soundtrack, the same visuals, animations and UI. The new mechanics are interesting but they may push the game further towards being a garry's mod - a messy toolkit that doesn't feel so much like a polished Nintendo game.
Do I want to fly around in some nasty, wobbly machine I've built from rocks, or on a real airship nintendo devs have painstakingly built, with high quality controls, visuals and mechanics?
I wont be sold on this game untill a see more of how the world is different. Because the world itself is why BOTW was so great im. The trailer has me worried that It wont feel entirely new to explore
That’s how a sequel works cry about it
hmm i feel you but i think by adding the sky islands (and what falls from them to the surface), they can add lots of new content so im not too worried about the world feeling the same as in botw
@@zkproductions4351it seems like you forgot about majoras mask. Remember that game, the sequel that still managed to have an original world and feel from its predecessor. If you think sequel means making the same thing then it seems you have little idea of what should be expected from one. But hey go ahead and give Nintendo your $70, I’m sure they’ll appreciate it.
@@mega-1427 majoras mask didn’t take place in the Hyrule like ocarina of time, totk is taking place in the same place as botw
@@zkproductions4351 hey man people are entitled to their opinions. He's allowed to feel worried about it
Idk if its just me, but the building with UltraHand just does not look fun at all. I dont want to have to stop what im doing and slowly build something piece by piece making sure its rotated correctly or attached at the right spot.
It looks tedious and not fun to do
Yeah I’m on the fence regarding this. I don’t hate the idea, and it looks fun, but yes if this is required all the time to traverse it’s going to get tedious and old.
it looks like it will have snap locations to prevent it from getting tedious
Yeah still if I wanted to play a build vechicle game I would play Banj Kazooie Nuts and Bolts not this
Rip windbomb :'(
RIP Virtual Boy
4:34 Wii U is more powerful. The ultimate evidence of that is Xenoblade X. It's the only port that never got to Switch because Switch can't handle it.
Dang that crack on the Wii U was brutal! You just can’t let that poor thing rest in peace can you lol?
I hope they have The Great Fairies, Those girls are so Hot!
This must be a short video haha.
That‘s it? Really?
The game most definitely takes place into the past with all the islands, missing stuff etc, also that Korok is most likely a younger version of the guy you traded with
not to burst your bubble but those are some GIANT leaps...
You are about to be so disappointed
$70 DLC with a barely changed map that took 6 years to come out and it's on 2017 hardware.
100 times longer and funner than PS5 games that are also $70. I'll take ToTK over those any day.
@@masteranimation2008 Yeah I don't own a PS5 either and I love Botw but you seriously can't be defending a price tag for what is essentially a Wii U Game in 2023.
They did say they would be reusing the map, and Anouma also said that they wouldn't be covering everything here so there's likely more
on yuzu store it's free, and it runs 4k60fps
They only scratched the surface of what's new. The price tag is determined by value and demand, not hardware.
i don't know what i expected but today's gameplay felt very disappointing. this has increased the pressure of the game
Genuinely curious. Why was it disappointing, and what were were you expecting?
Disappointed? I’m amazed lol. Cant wait to play a fresh version of this game again with cool new features that add to the storyline. The game already was incredible. New stuff is brilliant. Future DLC aswell could be amazing
This was honestly the most hype for me, so I'm curious too
I doubt he will reply guys, most people critising this game seem to be complaining just for the sake of it lmao
I'm honestly disappointed too. I'm kind of over the BOTW art style, music, and gameplay. I'm ready for something new and this just doesn't do it for me. I'm glad others are excited don't get me wrong, but I don't care that much for the vehicle construction sandbox stuff. One of the most annoying aspects of BOTW for me was the fact that puzzles weren't as satisfying because they had multiple solutions to them. That sounds great and all but I'd rather have a concrete way of solving it rather than 5 ways that sort of work. Now I feel like they are doing it with traversal. Different objects interacting with the physics engine that kind of work. Anyway like I said I'm glad a lot of other people are excited, everyone's entitled to their opinion
"Next to nothing" should be the real answer
If you ignore the video in it’s entirety: it seems true
Do you have the game to confirm this?
Everything that changed: Nothing! 😬
The video proves you wrong. Also, emojis are cringe.
@@thevenom2731 Wrong, using username like a child is cringe 🫣
I'm surprised the video lasts longer than 10 seconds, considering there's only 2 new things. It's the literal definition of "The same game 2"
more like we only got 10 minutes of info and none of it was about the world just mechanics
I don’t understand this mentality. Plenty of game sequels reexplore the same areas as the original. Why is this game, a sequel, getting so much flack for it?
@@NightOfBlueFire because people wanna be negative just because, it's trendy
I mean people weren’t complaining when they played Spider-Man in the same old city of New York.
@@NightOfBlueFire Because it's Zelda, and revisiting the exact same map again is unprecedented. Even Majora's Mask, which reused allot of OoT assets, occurs in a brand new location, and other games, like Twilight Princess, would re imagine Hyrule rather than copy it. Because of that, the sense of excitement and discovery is always present in a new Zelda, and has become expected from each new major entry.
$70 DLC and people will praise it because it's Nintendo and Zelda.
Absolutely pathetic
lol
Tell me, how many different versions of Skyrim do you own? And how many different years of EA Sports titles (which are all literally just reskinned versions of previous entries, which they did every year since the PS2 era, with even the plots being 1:1 identical) do you have? Oh and you must love Overwatch 2 (where the only difference at all is Mercy's hair and a couple of base skins) where everything is designed from the start so Overwatch 1 and Overwatch 2 players can play against each other in the same queue. *But of course you let them get away with it because they're "AAA Developers" and thus automatically that makes it better.*
But when Nintendo makes a direct sequel showing time had passed in old locations and adds new areas (and a couple mechanics that would be absurdly annoying to program well on a Wii U, such as the vehicles) and the Fuse mechanic making elemental arrows pointless on top of that, they're just "rebranding lazy DLC a new game" because it's Nintendo.
Your argument is essentially just looking at the graphics for a few frames and concluding that there isn't any difference. Not only is *that* absolutely pathetic, it's also childish and entirely hypocritical.
@@lordnul1708 first of all, why are you assuming I play EA titles and Overwatch? Lol I don't, and those games get trashed every year by gamers. The people that buy those games are casuals that only buy an Xbox or Playstation to play sports titles and nothing else. They're irrelevant in social media, they don't read or care about what's going on in the gaming industry. There's plenty of TH-camrs exposing those shitty games. But I bet you we won't see that with this new Zelda game. I'm sure there will be be a few that critique it, but none will be harsh and most will shower it with praise as the next big thing in gaming.
Second, Skyrim released in many different platforms, that's correct. But they never told us we were getting Skyrim 2, we knew we were getting essentially the same game, just improved graphics and performance. So your comparison is flawed.
100% this
This is one of the worst looking games on the switch. The cel shading is there to cover up the extremely low quality textures but even with the shading it still looks like low quality imo
honestly they should make it 60 fps
