One of my favorite little bokoblin quirks is when they're hunting wild animals, sometimes they're so immersed in it that Link can walk right past them and they won't even notice him
I think it is so sad to think about Link’s family. Like we know he had a father and possibly a sister. They either perished in the calamity along with Zelda’s father or died waiting for Link to wake from his slumber :( also the fact that the house link buys could be his childhood home hurts sm
Its possible his sister eventually married (assuming she and their father weren't killed) and had children of her own therefore Link might have family he's unaware of.
@@Animeman284it would've been interesting in BOTW if Link met one of his descendants through his sister in the game for interactions in the game. And possibly an ally in battle.
So funny seeing what you got right. "Use objects in the environment for combat""rededs, wallmasters," "new technique you can learn (earthquake thing)" "they could've done more with the wolf link companion concept"
Somewhere in eastern Hyrule Field, there's a monster base that looks like a life-sized Dark Beast Ganon skull. It's surrounded by bog, so don't fall in. Not only does the shape resemble DBG, but there's a hole at the top of the skull about where the Malice Eye pops out for the final death blow to end the fight. Edit: and if I just waited 10 more seconds, I would have seen your similar theory. My theory on this is that the skull at Bottomless Swamp is the remains of the DBG fight from 10,000 years ago.
5:50 Not many people realize this, but there's a mechanical reason there aren't "sword techniques" in BotW. The game is intentionally non-context-sensitive. Meaning, all buttons have ONE action, and there are none to few CONTEXT that alter those actions. The only exceptions to this is that the A button is also mapped to opens doors, initiates dialog, and item-pickup. Otherwise, all actions are straightforward. It wasn't an accident that the A button doesn't have a "mine ore" action when you are close to rocks, or "chop wood" action when you go near a tree with an axe. It's intentionally seamless. There is no question what will happen when you press a button. This is also why there isn't a single minigame in BotW that locks the player into a new control scheme. To make combat melee-centric in TotK, and add context-sensitive attacks would undermine the core of the overall mechanics. It would create a _dissonance_ that BotW artfully lacked. In this sense, you could say BotW is more like a PHYSICS SIMULATION with combat than a combat game with physics. Mechanically speaking. This is an important distinction, and integral to the game's feeling over other games.
Pitch - Dark game towards the end of the gap between The Minish Cap and OoT where you play as an adult in a Hyrule that doesn't believe in magic or the Picori. Setting up the Hylian civil war and perhaps even a young Ganondorf.
Dark in tone? YES! Dark in setting? Please no!😂 visually dark games with a lot of browns, greys and blacks don't suit the Zelda series very well, BUT dark stories do fit well!
It’d be crazy if all the big skeletons around aside from the leviathans were representing the failed attempts of Ganon coming back. I hope they use those as beast Ganon attacks. 9:10
If TOTK ends up having an underground world, I would love to see a revamped version of the mogmas, subrosians, and dekus, where they look gruesome but are friendly tribes
Don’t mean to be that guy, but actually that original champion next to the Kokiri was meant to be a Sheika, not a Gerudo. That’s why they had a Hookshot like weapon, it’s a callback to Ocarina of Time, the Hookshot is found in Kakariko’s graveyard.
The ones that made the other craters probably migrated to the rest of the lands. That, or they reproduced in the craters, creating the Stone Pebblits who would late migrate to every corner of Hyrule. Not entirely a far fetched theory imo.
I'd love a story where Link regrets remembering his past, learning everyone he once loved is now dead. I don't think it'd work anymore, with all the moving forward stuff, but it'd flesh out Link as a person, instead of just being a blank slate.
One thing I'd like to point out with the possibility of the green energy acting as a sort of magic bar for the new abilities is that only sometimes does the hand glow green. Every time you see the stasis like ability, it's a golden glow and the hand itself remains the same, however when you see Link using the phasing ability, the hand actually does glow green, therefore my guess is that there will be a selection of rune abilities that work on a timer like BOTW, but certain more useful or powerful abilities will require the use of the green energy as a sort of limitation.
Can’t believe you didn’t mention the the skeleton around Dark Beast was the same pattern as the arm! Especially around the rib cage, you can see the dark and lighter green swirls with the yellow accents!
With the new info we got some of the unused concepts make even more sense. too bad the Minish didn't make the cut. I would have loved to see the fairy queen again, it was a very interesting character in TWW.
I think it's cool that's Hinoxes were supposed to do somersaults as one of their activities considering they do it as an attack in Age Of Calamity, so the idea was still used in something based on Breath Of The Wild.
@@NintendoBlackCrisis Oh yeah, good call. I remembered it when you showed the art for it in the video, but I forgot to comment it. You're right, the Great Hall is in the game. You have to enter it quite a few times in the final level actually since the Great Halls staircase is how you get to different floors of the castle since a lot of the outside is blocked by malice until you defeat the Blight Ganons. I probably would've forgot if it hasn't been for me coming back to AOC recently to work on 100% completing it.
Personally I would love a ruined Skyloft, even though that's unlikely. Skykeep fell to the ground with the goddess statue but Skyoft and all the other islands did not. Just a crumb of Skyward Sword would feed me.
OK this is like one of the few or many theories that I actually have that I’ve been like trying to get everyone else’s attention on and it’s actually a more newer one so this theory of mine is that the island that Terry town sits on is where skyward swords great tree once stood with the landscape surrounding it eroded away and having the lake to expand truly turning it into lake Akkala a truly mere shadow of its former glory and I still believe that it was a great great great ancestor of the Deku tree still being used as a home currently known today as Terry town… now I just got myself a little bit emotional from it
I really want that the Green Wild Tunic have some context in the story of Tears of The Kingdom, in Breath of The Wild they never say what is the propourse of the garb, and that's strange because the Tunic is in Smash Ultimate, witch means It is a important one.
@@eletralad it's definitely canon, as it's obtainable through normal means in the base game. The decision to ditch the green tunic was an interesting choice, and I hope they explore that in TotK
It's pretty obvious that the purpose of the Green Tunic across the entire Zelda franchise is to represent the very concept of "Courage" which has always been paired with the color Green. Similar to how Breath of the Wild Zelda wears blue clothes to represent Wisdom and Ganondorf's Calamity form is covered in red Malice to represent Power so does Link wear the Green Tunic to represent Courage.
Canon in the sense that Link completed all 120 shrines & came across the Forgotten Temple perhaps. But in terms of story, I doubt Link came across the Forgotten Temple & the Green Tunic. In my humble opinion, I think the ancient attire we see Link where in the trailers for TotK is the Hero of the Wild’s version of the famed Green Tunic.
"Why not let you pick up small object like candlesticks etc" That's mainly because of technical limitations. It would be too taxing for the processor to have to calculate the physics for a ton of small objects. They made sure the little Switch and the old Wii U could handle the game without too many hiccups by limiting interactability to larger objects. The game already drops frames when there's too much going on!
I think it would be really cool if they did an overworld Underworld juxtaposition. Keep the overworld very similar to the feel of the original game, but then have an Underworld system of caves et cetera that hits all of those dark and creepy notes and has a completely different feel
I wish the Zelda team was able to implement stuff like the extra interactions for the horse and the hinox! They have so many good ideas that can't be made into reality for one reason or another. :\
1 idea I have, but may be a long shot, is that the gates we see in the sky, could actually be portals to some spirit realm with hidden challenges. I would also like to see some crafting mechanics, like improving lynel weapons in some way after claiming them, particularly with how easy it eventually becomes to get rupees. Finally a return of dungeons would be great. 1 idea we seem to see is that Link can use his energy to power jade structures such as the creature we see in the 2nd trailer & then the bird he rides
TOTK is definitely going to bring back the camera rune from BOTW. Link might either get a camera to take pictures (like in Wind Waker) or Link might keep the Sheikah Slate but it can only take pictures (yes I know we don’t see the slate in any of the TOTK trailers but it just might not be on Links model but still in his inventory).
To be honest, I’d rather just have a regular photo mode like Nintendo did with Mario Odyssey and some other games. It bugged me that we couldn’t take pictures without having the hearts be there in the top left/the sheikah slate border be on them.
when you said that his family would be dead in totk, that might not be true, since the average hylian lifespan is over a hundred, and impa seemed to be like in her 20s or 30s or something in age of calamity, and she was still alive 100 years later in botw, so since links sister seems to look at most 12, she could still be alive out there.
@@mazeditsvsf when i googled the average lifespan for hylians it says about or over 100 years so it's probably the same with sheikah. Also it looks like the the sister was rlly young, so she would probably only be like 110 or smth
there is an old woman by the cooking pots in hateno, i don‘t remember it verbatim, but if asked about the calamity, maybe just the first time, she talks about it implying that she was a young child when that happened, making her a little older than 100. she doesn‘t look as unusually old as Impa, so i‘d assume hylian ~105 scales to human 85 or something. I might be misremembering though, and it‘s possible that this isn‘t in the english dialogue at all.
@@atlas956 she actually wasn't around during it, instead knowing of the calamity from those before her. She was born during a time where Hateno was just being able to be used as a safe and farming town again, saying something about "it already was by the time I was old enough to realize it had been otherwise in the first place" (paraphrase ofc)
a questline that's like an expanded version of the Terry town quest would be amazing. the "Hyrule Restoration initiative" or something. maybe establish or rebuild a few new towns with Bolson and co., or get to work rebuilding castle town to get it on its way to looking how it is in the concept art.
Maybe something cool they could do is have a Terry Town like quest to restore castle town at Hyrule Castle and format it kind of the older Assassins Creed games did
I still wish that they would have linkle in the games. I was thinking that they could make a game where her and link have to work together to do dungeons with each one having roles that only they could do. You of course would have the other follow you but could freely switch, during this the one you are not using can take damage but only so much. Each one would have different weapons each with roles they would play. Example is that linkle is smaller and would be able to travel in tight spaces with her being more rogue like allowing her to use things like daggers and her crossbows. In this situation linkle's crossbow would hit harder than links making it needed to go through armor that link's could not. This would also play the role in the dungeon with her shooting down chest for link to open that he could not reach due to angles. In contrast link would be able to take out enemies that would block linkle's path by shooting down bridges and killing enemies that would not be in her line of sight such as a monster that would ambush her from a corner of a ledge. The ending of each dungeon would also require both to do certain task to open the doors and get to the final rooms. This is also reflected in the outfits as between the two each could have outfits given to them due to their roles such as stealth armor for linkle to have her harder to detect while she scales walls with a grappling hook or having link with an increased agro abilitiy. As for linkle herself I would see her as a descendent of link and zelda just not the ones that are in the game. It is said to her lore that she is also a hero but it would not make sense for her to have the same gear as link given that he is reincarnated each time. That said a weapon for her to use would also be imbued with the power similar to the master sword on a lower scale. What do you think of this idea.
Not gonna lie when you said reunite koko with her mother at night I thought for a second that you meant that you killed her a reunited her with her mom
Part of me wants to think that the Sheikah slate runes could have been inspired by the Zonai magic, hence the not-stasis stasis we see in the trailers.
@L That would be awesome! We would have tribes symbolizing each virtue of the triforce. Sheikah tribe = Wisdom Yiga tribe = Power Zonai tribe = Courage Each tribe also has a connection to the holders of the triforce (I think? It's not very clear who holds them now in BoTW) Zelda (wisdom) has a fascination with ancient sheikah tech. Yiga worship Ganon. (power) Zonai is not very clear yet, but the hand possibly might be connected in some way and it ends up on Link. (courage)
@@MossMothMyBeloved Mind you the Gerudo could also be the ones representative of Power considering 4 factors: 1) Ganondorf the mortal personification of Power is a Gerudo 2) All members of the Gerudo tribe have a distinctive firey red hair fitting of the goddess Din 3) Din the Hylian Oracle of Seasons from the titular game looks just like a Gerudo despite not been one herself 4) It's possible that the mysterious "Goddess of the Sands" from Ocarina of Time could be none other than to Din whom the Gerudo (including Ganondorf) worship because of her role as the Goddess of Power which is the one thing the the tribe has always desired after living centuries in the desert Seeing as the Yiga are still technically Sheikah rather than their own race plus they are rather weak to be worthy representations of "Power" i doubt they are the ones who stand for Din.
10:09 - I would *TOTALLY* be down with a modern telling of the recurring tale, or even a futuristic one. It make sense if the curse really is eternal (assuming nothing happens to change this... I'm looking at you, Tears of the Kingdom...). Obviously it could very easily end up a corny, gimmicky mess, but if you apply a formula similar to Nier, Persona or even Horizon Zero Dawn to the Zelda universe, I think it could be really special and really *SICK!!* Those who don't like Nintendo messing with their precious medieval dungeon crawler would hate this, but remember when we first heard Mario Odyssey was going to have "New Donk City"? That sounded whack! But it turned out preety cool! All I'm saying is, it doesn't have to end up Kingdom Hearts 3 is all haha
I'd love to see the backstory of Ganondorf, where his mother is Gerudo and his father is Zonai (linking together the red-haired Barbarian outfit design). Perhaps an in-game entity/spirit feels so distraught over how Ganondorf turned out that he decides to help Link in his quest to stop the king of evil. Lots of potential to give Ganondorf more depth, and it helps to reiterate that the Gerudo seek mates elsewhere. This could also open up a bunch of side quests that focus on plot/backstory.
Although I personally question it, it is intriguing how Ganondorf seems to be more dressed like what we have seen is sky clothing (which is possibly Zonai related) rather than his traditional black armor or robes.
@@mutatedart true, i guess personally I would just rather see something else expanded on. Like how the rito became zoras. Im not a huge fan of ganons lore tbh
While I'm fairly sure that there's no time traveling in TotK, there is a way to do it in a limited scope, instead of creating a past or future version of the whole Hyrule. They could use the time shift stones featured in Skyward Sword to create time pockets in certain places. Like a part of the Hyrule Castle Town. This could be used to access the town and meet a certain person even if the town didn't exist anymore in the present and the person in question was long dead.
Seems a bit silly but the thing I want most is the ability to sit down. So like when it's raining and I'm hiding in an alcove with a fire, link can just sit down while I wait it out. Or i just want to spend sometime sitting in a pretty location, chilling with npcs or something.
Just a few nuggets of wisdom: We've already fought a malice-affected Leviathan in Skyward. There IS variety in the Hinox battles. The first time you fight one you only have so many different ways to beat them, but the next time you'll have different equipment and might've picked up an easier way to deal with them. One of them you fight at the end of a really tough gauntlet of enemies after all your equipment is taken away! Why does there need to be more types of beings in Tears of the Kingdom? They only started to add different types in Ocarina. They could even make a game focused solely on the Hylians featuring no other types, and it would still be The Legend of Zelda. It wouldn't be a good idea to reunite the crying child, Koko, with their mother because... and I'm sure this isn't what you intended but it SOUNDED like you wanted to "help" Koko to the other side! 😱 ...To be completely honest with you hearing you say that scared me a little bit... But also, people aren't reunited with their mothers who have passed after you complete nice little sidequests. It's insensitive to tell that story in that way. Lack of variety when it came to enemies? Breath has more different types of enemies than any other Zelda game. To add to that, the concepts of the different types of enemies are also mostly from past Zelda games, but reimagined. Well I'm going to do some art while your video continues to play in the background. As an addendum I'll say one more thing; Considering how much heart (not to mention hard work) was put into Breath, it downright flabbergasts me to learn that people wanted or expected more! From start to finish, it brought me such joy when I needed it THE MOST. I only played Breath within the last year or so, and I'm so glad that I waited... My Mom died a year and a half ago. She was THE BESTEST friend that I'll ever have. When she passed I lost the biggest part of me that I had. Since then it feels like time has stopped completely. I'm not sure if or when it'll start to progress again; Maybe it never will. And that's okay. But the time I spent in Hyrule during this legend means more to me than I'm able to put into words. A huge thanks to the content creators who gave me a look into this legend before I was able to visit it myself, and that includes NintendoBlackCrisis. And I doubt any of these beautiful people will see this, but I'll err on the side of caution and say: I'm so grateful to everyone whose hand helped weave this masterpiece! I'll never be able to THANK YOU enough!
A lot of these missed potential ideas never used even in tears of the kingdom. I feel like they spent waaayyy to much time on ultrahand at the expense of impimenting these diverse ideas.
What if Link did have a sister? She survived the Great Calamity and eventually had a daughter. She died before Link woke up from the Shrine of resurrection, but his Niece is an adult who has a son, so link can meet is Niece and Great-Nephew in Tears of the Kingdom! Very unlikely, but I'd love It!
I'd love for ToTK to feature food/items/materials that are actually dangerous to consume or use, for a game set in the wild, there sure no poisonous shrooms, plants, etc. This would make cooking more interesting, for example, having stronger buffs at the expense of health, the ability to poison enemies or even use the knowledge of certain spices or plants to nullify poison, etc.
I would love to see some more flashbacks of Link's life outside of the Champion related ones, like how he found the Mastersword or how his family lived and interacted with him. Or ones for Zelda's childhood, maybe memories of when her mother was still alive and they were a happy family. I would also love the idea of more ghosts in general. Like common people, Links family etc. that the players needs to help move on. Also, it doesn't need to be super dark, but i would love to see how Zelda and Link cope with their traumas or at least have a callback to what happend to them. Zelda literally saw Link die (and even though it was censored, there must have been horrible burn or flesh wounds on link) then she goes to the castle where there are probably hundreds of dead people being devoured by malice (at least i asume so, there is a lack of graves in botw even though thousands died, i think there weren't any bodies left to bury) and then she is "awake" for 100 years, trapped inside malice with no one to talk with, probably in pain. Some Headcanons post-botw some people had, was that Zelda had some trouble walking after not moving for a hundred years, so i always thought it was a cute idea for Link and Zelda to live in Link's little house together. Could see Link cooking and teaching Zelda things he has learned, like fighting, making stuff etc. One last thing, i would love to see the World post-botw or post-totk bloom into new life as a sign that the World is finally healing from the malice. Like New Flora blooming or animals that raise their young, or the deku forest growing back into full Green areas that you can explore etc. Probably won't happen because that's a lot of new nature elements, but hey, i can dream.
NBC looking forward to your analysis of the new TotK trailer. Something I’m not hearing much of is that the zelda character you don’t see the head of being the reincarnation of Hylia, also when you hear zelda say “give him your power” being either to the zonai or hylia, maybe zonai connection to hylia and that being the ornation of links arm holding back a corruption that causes his arm to look mummified like Gannon stole part of links life force and the ornation helps prevent the spread.
I’d love more house customization and interaction! I couldn’t interact with anything unless I was taking a weapon, I’d love to use the house more in fun ways :) edit: I personally don’t like the idea of giving Zelda regular clothes cuz I feel like it’d lessen her royal feel but bring back her as Sheik! Like when she’s Zelda she wears the dresses but when she helps link and fights be Sheik, that’d be cool
I love how professional you are every and each time you upload a new video. You're always improving and bringing valuable information and investigations! ❤️🔥🙌🏼
The things I would like to see most is more enemies. It struck me that they could have implemented leevers for the deserts and beaches, bonus points if the desert leevers could have been treats to Link while using sand seals. Peahats in the fields would have been cool too. I also wish they would make some tweaks to cooking/potions. The different recipes were mostly cosmetic and I wish they had some more variation to them in terms of bonuses. In fact, I also think I liked how they worked in AoC. So I think it would be cool if you could only eat meals by sitting down at a fire and then you gain the benefits and you kind of choose your effects by planning ahead. And that only items like potions and handheld foods (like apples and skewers) could be eaten on the fly. Taken a step further, I'd like to see the adventure's pouchh return and work like it did in Skyward Sword where you could fit only so many items in at a time and you have to pull them out and find time mid battle to use them. I liked how Skyward Sword had you running around trying not to get hit when drinking a potion. It added to the thrill of the fights. Finally, I want the weapon fixing and upgrading from Skyward Sword back. Buffing the weapons so that they are stronger would help with the durability issue. (I have read that another game that did weapon breaking figured out that increasing durability wasn't the best way to solve the problem, but instead increasing the damage. Players don't really notice how many times they've swung the weapon, but they do notice how many enemies they've killed with a weapon. It's a bit of a psychological trick, that we don't really care how long it lasts, so much as how useful it was.)
1: No thanks; I'm not playing a survival game. 2: NO to the pouch system; I recently watched an entire playthrough of Skyward Sword, and the Adventurer's Pouch is absolute trash in my opinion. I'm fine with inventory systems, relatively okay depending on how they're executed, but the pouch was quite possibly one of the most botched ways to do an inventory system in any game I've seen, and the extensions don't help the problem; Stick with the inventory system in Breath of the Wild: Much more intuitive and rewarding in my eyes. Same goes for the materials in that game as well as the sidequests and Day/Night cycle. (Hell, considering most of the sidequests just give you Gratitude Crystals, you can easily argue there's really one sidequest that actually matters, that being Batreaux's quest to become a human. 3: What weapon fixing? Skyward Sword only had shield repairs, and even those became negligible costs later in the game, especially when the Sacred Shield + both of it's upgrades allows it to heal relatively quickly.
8:45 OR could be a similar fight concept to Stallord from Twilight Princess? a Fossilized animal who due to the malice brought to life like the dark magic that brought Stallord to life for that fight
That could maybe the theme of the next entry to form a trilogy. They could call it "Sword of the Stars" Sadly we may have to wait until the end of 2029 for it 😢 😔
Funny thing about the Hinox somersaulting... They actually do something similar to that in Age of Calamity, as a attack you can stasis them with to stun them to break their weak point gauge. Just a Lil something I wanted to mention!😅
I haven’t watched your videos in a while, and at the beginning when you started talking my brain got excited, like “YOOO ITS THIS GUY AGAIN!!” Then at the end I was reminded of your epic outro 😄
Game play as Zelda is what I was hoping for.. her outfits gotta stay Royal. She is THEEEE Princess of all video games. Maybe only Peach can touch her coattails.
With the sheikah technology gone, we will need a new fast travel system. I recommend portals. No not valve portals but those already used in Zelda such as the warp pads in most of the downfall timeline, the subrosian portals in Oracle of Seasons and the dark world portals in in a link to the past. Perhaps that’s what some of those glowing green spirals are seen in the most recent trailer? Maybe they shoot us into the sky to have us crash down somewhere else. That would be awesome. Just wonder how or if we’ll be able to interact with them out in the open or if we will have to find a nearby one to fast travel.
If they keep weapon durability I'd love to have a little health gauge so I know how long I've got before a particular weapon breaks. I'd also like to be able to sell weapons
I think breath of the wild took a lot of inspiration from Skyrim and monster Hunter. And I believe that tears of a kingdom will take a lot of inspiration from the Witcher and Elden Ring. The Eldon Ring featured fragmented pieces of different regions on the map with all kinds of natural caves and catacombs that served as smaller dungeons, Eldon ring also featured what we call legacy dungeons which are the main larger dungeons. I'm kind of feeling that tears of the kingdom might somewhat mirror a lot of these features
9:32 Imagine a Zelda game about fighting with music. Something like the game Brütal Legend. And in the final battle Link and Ganon have an insane guitar duel like in the movie Crossroads. And instead of making there own soundtrack they could just insert there mixtape and call it a day. It would be crazy and nothing like a Zelda game at all but dammit I want this to be a thing now.
Some type ofundead boss Hats for link not just like helmets and stuff Buyable potions Underwater swimming Claw shots More settlements Dungeons Human boss that is super hard to beat kinda like maz koshia but not like a relic of the past
I feel like the simplest explanations are the most realistic. The green vials are most likely batteries of sorts to power links new hand. I think you'll start out with all of the base runes like the sheikah slate, but you'll only have a limited amount of magic you can use at one time. Given that we can see that the arm runes will be essential for traveling in the sky, it's possible that this is how Nintendo will limit the player in the world similar to the stamina meter.
I will always be mad at the fact that when the world flooded, the Zora for some reason evolved to be birds. THEY CAN LITERALLY BREATH UNDERWATER!! WHY DID THEY EVEN NEED TO EVOLVE???
Aren't the Zora usually shown living in a big lake or some other land-locked body of water rather than swimming in the ocean? For the most part, fish that live in fresh water can't survive in salt water, and vice versa, so the Zora probably couldn't adapt to the ocean.
Apart from the salt water/fresh water thing, there is also the fact to consider that the Goddesses probably wanted Hyrule to remain hidden under the ocean, so the Zora were forcibly evolved to become creatures of land and air, but not sea, so that they couldn't swim down and discover Hyrule. There is also the possibility that some Zora evolved into the "Fishmen" creatures we see in Wind Waker.
@@mrnegative4482 Remember that Hyrule was protected by an invisible bubble which prevented anyone from reaching the Kingdom. Whoever tried to reach Hyrule would crash into the bubble wall surrounding the Kingdom being incapable to do it no matter what. It's more likely that the Zora evolved into the Rito so that they could become postmen and keep the Great Sea warned in case Ganondorf ever returned (which he did). Being flying postmen in a world made of small islands makes sense when there's a satanic being out there trying to take over the World.
13:47 That looks more like a Shiekah to me than a Gerudo. Very reminiscent of Impa in OoT, they even have a rough outline of a Eye symbol on their chest.
I would love it if they would add a better system telling you the health of your weapons or ways to repair them. Secondly, I want link to be able to throw hands lmao
Unpopular opinion, but I feel like Tingle would be a perfect inclusion for TotK. Not only would he kinda fit thematically, given the seemingly dark parallels to Majora's Mask, having a cartographer in an open world LoZ game makes too much sense. If we don't have the Sheika slate, give us a physical map that we pay Tingle to update as he floats around from region to region on his dumbass ass balloons. Also, Minish would be awesome. Make Minish a mainstay race in LoZ! 12:20 I am assuming the reason Hinox are always sleeping is purely a hardware limitation. But here's hoping that TotK not being originally made for Wii U, and having plenty of time to optimize as an asset flip, allows Nintendo to pull off large, wandering enemies.
For the love of god let me pet dogs! please and thank you!! I also want Kass to appear somehow, I loved all the quests he (or his family) were involved in.
@@tamclam the trailer for Tears of the Kingdom shows Zelda fall into the earth. Some have theorized we play as Link in the sky and Zelda underground. Would be cool if Zelda took possession of the Sheikah Slate after BotW so she uses it in TotK, and Link uses his new arm.
What if when Link's weapon brakes, he can punch, kick, elbow, and/or block with his arms. Some other things they can add is him using his shield to hit and deal damage, pick up rocks to throw or hit with, use arrows as a (one or two time use) knife ( possibly only for stealth strikes), or directly hit enemys with the bow.
Seems like you actually want a Zelda themed fighting game, and while that would be a VERY cool thing to see, I don't think it's happening anytime soon.
Hm here 9:00 you got me thinking. What Shika technology did Ganon use here. The Devine Beasts look pretty in tact. So I don't think Ganon took parts of it. Except, of course, for those Shikatechnological bits that materialize like the Epona Zero. What I'm noticing until now is that Ganon comes out of his cocoon in the castle and the blights from the control console of the respective Devine Beasts. Is that coincidence or intentional? At the very beginning I thought that Ganon used the bodies of the old champions to create the blights. Because those on the tapestry looked like shika technique to me. However, this cannot be, since the bodies of the old champions are no longer in tact by then. Except for the body of the Gorudo Champion. Since this will probably be preserved in the desert under optimal conditions. I would love it if we were in TOTK could learn more about the Old Champions. Because I don't know if AOC is considered canon or not. I always thought as a joke what if Ganondorf was the only Gerudo Champion before Urbosa. Think about it, both Link and Ganondorf are in a chamber in the dark and there is something hanging over them both. At Link the technology of the shrine of resurrection and over Ganondorf this pyramid on the ceiling. But that's just for fun as it wouldn't work anyway and would be more like fanfiction material. So please don't take this seriously. It is noticeable nonetheless.
AOC is canon in and of itself. Terrako is from the botw time line, so are the descendants, because they all already know Link. Its likely that the sheikha weaponry came from the ground, seeing how they were hidden long ago. and as for the pyramid theory.... he already has a vid on it: th-cam.com/video/WYQzY9DmHlE/w-d-xo.html

The whole ‘pointless things I want the horses to do’ is THE cutest thing ever and I hope it makes an appearance in TOTK
Its like mobile games in China some of them have pets you can have an decorate their room ETC just because they cute an it gives perks possibly hehe
One of my favorite little bokoblin quirks is when they're hunting wild animals, sometimes they're so immersed in it that Link can walk right past them and they won't even notice him
I hope we get more of that in TotK
I think it is so sad to think about Link’s family. Like we know he had a father and possibly a sister. They either perished in the calamity along with Zelda’s father or died waiting for Link to wake from his slumber :( also the fact that the house link buys could be his childhood home hurts sm
Its possible his sister eventually married (assuming she and their father weren't killed) and had children of her own therefore Link might have family he's unaware of.
@@Animeman284 I actually wrote a short story about that XD but yes that would be so cute
@@Animeman284it would've been interesting in BOTW if Link met one of his descendants through his sister in the game for interactions in the game. And possibly an ally in battle.
That'd be nice yeah.
I love the idea of the giant fossils coming to life and attacking you.
Also, how cool would it be if Castle Town is the new Tarrey Town? You have to build it up thoughout the game.
@@CZsWorld. Considering what happened to Hyrule Castle itself, I don't think Castle Town is getting rebuilt anytime soon.
Kinda like Staltaluses? A bit
So funny seeing what you got right. "Use objects in the environment for combat""rededs, wallmasters," "new technique you can learn (earthquake thing)" "they could've done more with the wolf link companion concept"
Somewhere in eastern Hyrule Field, there's a monster base that looks like a life-sized Dark Beast Ganon skull. It's surrounded by bog, so don't fall in. Not only does the shape resemble DBG, but there's a hole at the top of the skull about where the Malice Eye pops out for the final death blow to end the fight.
Edit: and if I just waited 10 more seconds, I would have seen your similar theory. My theory on this is that the skull at Bottomless Swamp is the remains of the DBG fight from 10,000 years ago.
I like this! I always just thought it was a reference to Volvagia as it looked similar to the dragon from OoT, but this is a really cool idea!
No worries haha. At least you followed up after watching the rest of the video xP
5:50
Not many people realize this, but there's a mechanical reason there aren't "sword techniques" in BotW. The game is intentionally non-context-sensitive. Meaning, all buttons have ONE action, and there are none to few CONTEXT that alter those actions.
The only exceptions to this is that the A button is also mapped to opens doors, initiates dialog, and item-pickup. Otherwise, all actions are straightforward.
It wasn't an accident that the A button doesn't have a "mine ore" action when you are close to rocks, or "chop wood" action when you go near a tree with an axe. It's intentionally seamless. There is no question what will happen when you press a button. This is also why there isn't a single minigame in BotW that locks the player into a new control scheme. To make combat melee-centric in TotK, and add context-sensitive attacks would undermine the core of the overall mechanics. It would create a _dissonance_ that BotW artfully lacked.
In this sense, you could say BotW is more like a PHYSICS SIMULATION with combat than a combat game with physics. Mechanically speaking. This is an important distinction, and integral to the game's feeling over other games.
I still would love to see them do an old, veteran link for a darker Zelda game. It could be a Link we have played as before, or a new one.
That's never going to happen
Pitch - Dark game towards the end of the gap between The Minish Cap and OoT where you play as an adult in a Hyrule that doesn't believe in magic or the Picori. Setting up the Hylian civil war and perhaps even a young Ganondorf.
@@chiffmonkey yes
Dark in tone? YES! Dark in setting? Please no!😂 visually dark games with a lot of browns, greys and blacks don't suit the Zelda series very well, BUT dark stories do fit well!
I would love to see is as a Twilight Princess sequel
It’d be crazy if all the big skeletons around aside from the leviathans were representing the failed attempts of Ganon coming back. I hope they use those as beast Ganon attacks. 9:10
If TOTK ends up having an underground world, I would love to see a revamped version of the mogmas, subrosians, and dekus, where they look gruesome but are friendly tribes
Don’t mean to be that guy, but actually that original champion next to the Kokiri was meant to be a Sheika, not a Gerudo. That’s why they had a Hookshot like weapon, it’s a callback to Ocarina of Time, the Hookshot is found in Kakariko’s graveyard.
Can't forget the signature eye symbol, either.
17:05 It's worth mentioning that in Age of Calamity, Octo-Polishing becomes something you can do with a Blacksmith!
14:16 The aliens weren't entirely scrapped. They were replaced by the Talus enemies, as shown by how often they appear in craters.
"how often"... once?
It's only at Gisa Crater right?
"how often they appear in craters."
So once?
The ones that made the other craters probably migrated to the rest of the lands. That, or they reproduced in the craters, creating the Stone Pebblits who would late migrate to every corner of Hyrule. Not entirely a far fetched theory imo.
That is a theory I've seen, though iirc only one is in a crater (another one also has mini talus I think).
@@O4M11P6 It's definitely not a farfetched theory, Zelda is no stranger to aliens. But Gisa Crater is weaker evidence since it's only one talus.
I would like to see the Twilight Realm (and Twili) come back. I'd also like to see Deku Scrubs back as an ally society (like in Majora's Mask).
I'd love a story where Link regrets remembering his past, learning everyone he once loved is now dead. I don't think it'd work anymore, with all the moving forward stuff, but it'd flesh out Link as a person, instead of just being a blank slate.
One thing I'd like to point out with the possibility of the green energy acting as a sort of magic bar for the new abilities is that only sometimes does the hand glow green. Every time you see the stasis like ability, it's a golden glow and the hand itself remains the same, however when you see Link using the phasing ability, the hand actually does glow green, therefore my guess is that there will be a selection of rune abilities that work on a timer like BOTW, but certain more useful or powerful abilities will require the use of the green energy as a sort of limitation.
Bet the runes will be the powers of the 8 Heroines mentioned by Rotana who mentioned they were all unique from one another.
Can’t believe you didn’t mention the the skeleton around Dark Beast was the same pattern as the arm! Especially around the rib cage, you can see the dark and lighter green swirls with the yellow accents!
A lot of these items you mention (castle town, weapon polishing, etc) made their way into the 'prequel' - Age of Calamaty
With the new info we got some of the unused concepts make even more sense.
too bad the Minish didn't make the cut. I would have loved to see the fairy queen again, it was a very interesting character in TWW.
I think it's cool that's Hinoxes were supposed to do somersaults as one of their activities considering they do it as an attack in Age Of Calamity, so the idea was still used in something based on Breath Of The Wild.
Age of Calamity itself does seem to use some of these unused concepts. I think you also visit the Great Hall in that game.
@@NintendoBlackCrisis Oh yeah, good call. I remembered it when you showed the art for it in the video, but I forgot to comment it. You're right, the Great Hall is in the game. You have to enter it quite a few times in the final level actually since the Great Halls staircase is how you get to different floors of the castle since a lot of the outside is blocked by malice until you defeat the Blight Ganons. I probably would've forgot if it hasn't been for me coming back to AOC recently to work on 100% completing it.
The Zonai are going to be important as seen in the gameplay trailer, which is really exciting
Personally I would love a ruined Skyloft, even though that's unlikely. Skykeep fell to the ground with the goddess statue but Skyoft and all the other islands did not. Just a crumb of Skyward Sword would feed me.
So excited for Tears of the Kingdom! Thanks for the amazing videos as always NBC!
OK this is like one of the few or many theories that I actually have that I’ve been like trying to get everyone else’s attention on and it’s actually a more newer one so this theory of mine is that the island that Terry town sits on is where skyward swords great tree once stood with the landscape surrounding it eroded away and having the lake to expand truly turning it into lake Akkala a truly mere shadow of its former glory and I still believe that it was a great great great ancestor of the Deku tree still being used as a home currently known today as Terry town… now I just got myself a little bit emotional from it
I’ve heard a theory that it’s a place from Ocarina of Time, like a boss or something.
That might be possible but I’m not entirely sure
I really want that the Green Wild Tunic have some context in the story of Tears of The Kingdom, in Breath of The Wild they never say what is the propourse of the garb, and that's strange because the Tunic is in Smash Ultimate, witch means It is a important one.
It's just a reference to the first zelda game I don't think it's Canon tho
@@eletralad it's definitely canon, as it's obtainable through normal means in the base game. The decision to ditch the green tunic was an interesting choice, and I hope they explore that in TotK
It's pretty obvious that the purpose of the Green Tunic across the entire Zelda franchise is to represent the very concept of "Courage" which has always been paired with the color Green. Similar to how Breath of the Wild Zelda wears blue clothes to represent Wisdom and Ganondorf's Calamity form is covered in red Malice to represent Power so does Link wear the Green Tunic to represent Courage.
Canon in the sense that Link completed all 120 shrines & came across the Forgotten Temple perhaps. But in terms of story, I doubt Link came across the Forgotten Temple & the Green Tunic. In my humble opinion, I think the ancient attire we see Link where in the trailers for TotK is the Hero of the Wild’s version of the famed Green Tunic.
@@O4M11P6 I always figure that the most definitive story is the one in which the game is completed 100%
"Why not let you pick up small object like candlesticks etc"
That's mainly because of technical limitations. It would be too taxing for the processor to have to calculate the physics for a ton of small objects. They made sure the little Switch and the old Wii U could handle the game without too many hiccups by limiting interactability to larger objects. The game already drops frames when there's too much going on!
I think it would be really cool if they did an overworld Underworld juxtaposition. Keep the overworld very similar to the feel of the original game, but then have an Underworld system of caves et cetera that hits all of those dark and creepy notes and has a completely different feel
That has been done in Zelda many times
I wish the Zelda team was able to implement stuff like the extra interactions for the horse and the hinox! They have so many good ideas that can't be made into reality for one reason or another. :\
1 idea I have, but may be a long shot, is that the gates we see in the sky, could actually be portals to some spirit realm with hidden challenges. I would also like to see some crafting mechanics, like improving lynel weapons in some way after claiming them, particularly with how easy it eventually becomes to get rupees. Finally a return of dungeons would be great. 1 idea we seem to see is that Link can use his energy to power jade structures such as the creature we see in the 2nd trailer & then the bird he rides
So Silent Realm 2.0? No thanks.
So considering what we got from the final trailer and everything since you really do need to make a reaction video to this
honestly a cursed leviathan fight would have been sick af
TOTK is definitely going to bring back the camera rune from BOTW. Link might either get a camera to take pictures (like in Wind Waker) or Link might keep the Sheikah Slate but it can only take pictures (yes I know we don’t see the slate in any of the TOTK trailers but it just might not be on Links model but still in his inventory).
To be honest, I’d rather just have a regular photo mode like Nintendo did with Mario Odyssey and some other games. It bugged me that we couldn’t take pictures without having the hearts be there in the top left/the sheikah slate border be on them.
Now we know the vials are ✨Batteries✨
when you said that his family would be dead in totk, that might not be true, since the average hylian lifespan is over a hundred, and impa seemed to be like in her 20s or 30s or something in age of calamity, and she was still alive 100 years later in botw, so since links sister seems to look at most 12, she could still be alive out there.
maybe thats just the sheikah (+ yiga) who have extended life spans? but seeing links sister would be nice :)
@@mazeditsvsf when i googled the average lifespan for hylians it says about or over 100 years so it's probably the same with sheikah. Also it looks like the the sister was rlly young, so she would probably only be like 110 or smth
there is an old woman by the cooking pots in hateno, i don‘t remember it verbatim, but if asked about the calamity, maybe just the first time, she talks about it implying that she was a young child when that happened, making her a little older than 100. she doesn‘t look as unusually old as Impa, so i‘d assume hylian ~105 scales to human 85 or something.
I might be misremembering though, and it‘s possible that this isn‘t in the english dialogue at all.
@@atlas956 This is so much needless investigating XD
@@atlas956 she actually wasn't around during it, instead knowing of the calamity from those before her. She was born during a time where Hateno was just being able to be used as a safe and farming town again, saying something about "it already was by the time I was old enough to realize it had been otherwise in the first place" (paraphrase ofc)
a questline that's like an expanded version of the Terry town quest would be amazing. the "Hyrule Restoration initiative" or something. maybe establish or rebuild a few new towns with Bolson and co., or get to work rebuilding castle town to get it on its way to looking how it is in the concept art.
Maybe something cool they could do is have a Terry Town like quest to restore castle town at Hyrule Castle and format it kind of the older Assassins Creed games did
Legit, does this guy have a time machine?⏰
I still wish that they would have linkle in the games. I was thinking that they could make a game where her and link have to work together to do dungeons with each one having roles that only they could do. You of course would have the other follow you but could freely switch, during this the one you are not using can take damage but only so much. Each one would have different weapons each with roles they would play. Example is that linkle is smaller and would be able to travel in tight spaces with her being more rogue like allowing her to use things like daggers and her crossbows. In this situation linkle's crossbow would hit harder than links making it needed to go through armor that link's could not. This would also play the role in the dungeon with her shooting down chest for link to open that he could not reach due to angles. In contrast link would be able to take out enemies that would block linkle's path by shooting down bridges and killing enemies that would not be in her line of sight such as a monster that would ambush her from a corner of a ledge. The ending of each dungeon would also require both to do certain task to open the doors and get to the final rooms. This is also reflected in the outfits as between the two each could have outfits given to them due to their roles such as stealth armor for linkle to have her harder to detect while she scales walls with a grappling hook or having link with an increased agro abilitiy. As for linkle herself I would see her as a descendent of link and zelda just not the ones that are in the game. It is said to her lore that she is also a hero but it would not make sense for her to have the same gear as link given that he is reincarnated each time. That said a weapon for her to use would also be imbued with the power similar to the master sword on a lower scale. What do you think of this idea.
11:20 I remember reading about that and was so distraught that those concepts didn't get into the game :C
Same 😔
13:09 I mean with the word kazoku 家族 for family in japanese above, it has to be his family!
Not gonna lie when you said reunite koko with her mother at night I thought for a second that you meant that you killed her a reunited her with her mom
I hope the vials in Tears of the Kingdom are green tea and Link drinks them. I like tea.
Part of me wants to think that the Sheikah slate runes could have been inspired by the Zonai magic, hence the not-stasis stasis we see in the trailers.
@L That would be awesome!
We would have tribes symbolizing each virtue of the triforce.
Sheikah tribe = Wisdom
Yiga tribe = Power
Zonai tribe = Courage
Each tribe also has a connection to the holders of the triforce (I think? It's not very clear who holds them now in BoTW)
Zelda (wisdom) has a fascination with ancient sheikah tech.
Yiga worship Ganon. (power)
Zonai is not very clear yet, but the hand possibly might be connected in some way and it ends up on Link. (courage)
@@MossMothMyBeloved Mind you the Gerudo could also be the ones representative of Power considering 4 factors:
1) Ganondorf the mortal personification of Power is a Gerudo
2) All members of the Gerudo tribe have a distinctive firey red hair fitting of the goddess Din
3) Din the Hylian Oracle of Seasons from the titular game looks just like a Gerudo despite not been one herself
4) It's possible that the mysterious "Goddess of the Sands" from Ocarina of Time could be none other than to Din whom the Gerudo (including Ganondorf) worship because of her role as the Goddess of Power which is the one thing the the tribe has always desired after living centuries in the desert
Seeing as the Yiga are still technically Sheikah rather than their own race plus they are rather weak to be worthy representations of "Power" i doubt they are the ones who stand for Din.
Looks like there’s going to be more enemy variety based on the new trailer! Redeads, the new boss bokoblins plus that big dragon thing
10:09 - I would *TOTALLY* be down with a modern telling of the recurring tale, or even a futuristic one. It make sense if the curse really is eternal (assuming nothing happens to change this... I'm looking at you, Tears of the Kingdom...). Obviously it could very easily end up a corny, gimmicky mess, but if you apply a formula similar to Nier, Persona or even Horizon Zero Dawn to the Zelda universe, I think it could be really special and really *SICK!!* Those who don't like Nintendo messing with their precious medieval dungeon crawler would hate this, but remember when we first heard Mario Odyssey was going to have "New Donk City"? That sounded whack! But it turned out preety cool! All I'm saying is, it doesn't have to end up Kingdom Hearts 3 is all haha
I'd love to see the backstory of Ganondorf, where his mother is Gerudo and his father is Zonai (linking together the red-haired Barbarian outfit design). Perhaps an in-game entity/spirit feels so distraught over how Ganondorf turned out that he decides to help Link in his quest to stop the king of evil. Lots of potential to give Ganondorf more depth, and it helps to reiterate that the Gerudo seek mates elsewhere. This could also open up a bunch of side quests that focus on plot/backstory.
Although I personally question it, it is intriguing how Ganondorf seems to be more dressed like what we have seen is sky clothing (which is possibly Zonai related) rather than his traditional black armor or robes.
Ganondorf already has tons of depth to his lore
@@kitkat4949_ There's always room for more lore! :)
@@mutatedart true, i guess personally I would just rather see something else expanded on. Like how the rito became zoras. Im not a huge fan of ganons lore tbh
While I'm fairly sure that there's no time traveling in TotK, there is a way to do it in a limited scope, instead of creating a past or future version of the whole Hyrule. They could use the time shift stones featured in Skyward Sword to create time pockets in certain places. Like a part of the Hyrule Castle Town. This could be used to access the town and meet a certain person even if the town didn't exist anymore in the present and the person in question was long dead.
Seems a bit silly but the thing I want most is the ability to sit down. So like when it's raining and I'm hiding in an alcove with a fire, link can just sit down while I wait it out. Or i just want to spend sometime sitting in a pretty location, chilling with npcs or something.
The summersaulting Hinox is implemented into Hyrule Warrior’s Age of Calamity.
Just a few nuggets of wisdom:
We've already fought a malice-affected Leviathan in Skyward.
There IS variety in the Hinox battles. The first time you fight one you only have so many different ways to beat them, but the next time you'll have different equipment and might've picked up an easier way to deal with them. One of them you fight at the end of a really tough gauntlet of enemies after all your equipment is taken away!
Why does there need to be more types of beings in Tears of the Kingdom? They only started to add different types in Ocarina. They could even make a game focused solely on the Hylians featuring no other types, and it would still be The Legend of Zelda.
It wouldn't be a good idea to reunite the crying child, Koko, with their mother because... and I'm sure this isn't what you intended but it SOUNDED like you wanted to "help" Koko to the other side! 😱 ...To be completely honest with you hearing you say that scared me a little bit... But also, people aren't reunited with their mothers who have passed after you complete nice little sidequests. It's insensitive to tell that story in that way.
Lack of variety when it came to enemies? Breath has more different types of enemies than any other Zelda game. To add to that, the concepts of the different types of enemies are also mostly from past Zelda games, but reimagined.
Well I'm going to do some art while your video continues to play in the background. As an addendum I'll say one more thing; Considering how much heart (not to mention hard work) was put into Breath, it downright flabbergasts me to learn that people wanted or expected more! From start to finish, it brought me such joy when I needed it THE MOST. I only played Breath within the last year or so, and I'm so glad that I waited...
My Mom died a year and a half ago. She was THE BESTEST friend that I'll ever have. When she passed I lost the biggest part of me that I had.
Since then it feels like time has stopped completely. I'm not sure if or when it'll start to progress again; Maybe it never will. And that's okay. But the time I spent in Hyrule during this legend means more to me than I'm able to put into words. A huge thanks to the content creators who gave me a look into this legend before I was able to visit it myself, and that includes NintendoBlackCrisis. And I doubt any of these beautiful people will see this, but I'll err on the side of caution and say: I'm so grateful to everyone whose hand helped weave this masterpiece! I'll never be able to THANK YOU enough!
A lot of these missed potential ideas never used even in tears of the kingdom. I feel like they spent waaayyy to much time on ultrahand at the expense of impimenting these diverse ideas.
What if Link did have a sister? She survived the Great Calamity and eventually had a daughter. She died before Link woke up from the Shrine of resurrection, but his Niece is an adult who has a son, so link can meet is Niece and Great-Nephew in Tears of the Kingdom! Very unlikely, but I'd love It!
I'd love for ToTK to feature food/items/materials that are actually dangerous to consume or use, for a game set in the wild, there sure no poisonous shrooms, plants, etc. This would make cooking more interesting, for example, having stronger buffs at the expense of health, the ability to poison enemies or even use the knowledge of certain spices or plants to nullify poison, etc.
I would love to see some more flashbacks of Link's life outside of the Champion related ones, like how he found the Mastersword or how his family lived and interacted with him. Or ones for Zelda's childhood, maybe memories of when her mother was still alive and they were a happy family. I would also love the idea of more ghosts in general. Like common people, Links family etc. that the players needs to help move on.
Also, it doesn't need to be super dark, but i would love to see how Zelda and Link cope with their traumas or at least have a callback to what happend to them.
Zelda literally saw Link die (and even though it was censored, there must have been horrible burn or flesh wounds on link) then she goes to the castle where there are probably hundreds of dead people being devoured by malice (at least i asume so, there is a lack of graves in botw even though thousands died, i think there weren't any bodies left to bury) and then she is "awake" for 100 years, trapped inside malice with no one to talk with, probably in pain.
Some Headcanons post-botw some people had, was that Zelda had some trouble walking after not moving for a hundred years, so i always thought it was a cute idea for Link and Zelda to live in Link's little house together. Could see Link cooking and teaching Zelda things he has learned, like fighting, making stuff etc.
One last thing, i would love to see the World post-botw or post-totk bloom into new life as a sign that the World is finally healing from the malice. Like New Flora blooming or animals that raise their young, or the deku forest growing back into full Green areas that you can explore etc. Probably won't happen because that's a lot of new nature elements, but hey, i can dream.
I've been waiting for a video like this! Thank you for making it!
NBC looking forward to your analysis of the new TotK trailer. Something I’m not hearing much of is that the zelda character you don’t see the head of being the reincarnation of Hylia, also when you hear zelda say “give him your power” being either to the zonai or hylia, maybe zonai connection to hylia and that being the ornation of links arm holding back a corruption that causes his arm to look mummified like Gannon stole part of links life force and the ornation helps prevent the spread.
the thought of all the large skeletal remains coming back to life for mini boss battles or just to roam the land is awesome.
I’d love more house customization and interaction! I couldn’t interact with anything unless I was taking a weapon, I’d love to use the house more in fun ways :) edit: I personally don’t like the idea of giving Zelda regular clothes cuz I feel like it’d lessen her royal feel but bring back her as Sheik! Like when she’s Zelda she wears the dresses but when she helps link and fights be Sheik, that’d be cool
stuff like Dragon Raja's home builder is so needless but very charming indeed
I love how professional you are every and each time you upload a new video. You're always improving and bringing valuable information and investigations! ❤️🔥🙌🏼
Omg the blacksmith idea. I’ve had this idea for a year now. Also the idea of making your own weapons and gear and armor. Great vid, very interesting.
The things I would like to see most is more enemies. It struck me that they could have implemented leevers for the deserts and beaches, bonus points if the desert leevers could have been treats to Link while using sand seals. Peahats in the fields would have been cool too.
I also wish they would make some tweaks to cooking/potions. The different recipes were mostly cosmetic and I wish they had some more variation to them in terms of bonuses. In fact, I also think I liked how they worked in AoC. So I think it would be cool if you could only eat meals by sitting down at a fire and then you gain the benefits and you kind of choose your effects by planning ahead. And that only items like potions and handheld foods (like apples and skewers) could be eaten on the fly. Taken a step further, I'd like to see the adventure's pouchh return and work like it did in Skyward Sword where you could fit only so many items in at a time and you have to pull them out and find time mid battle to use them. I liked how Skyward Sword had you running around trying not to get hit when drinking a potion. It added to the thrill of the fights.
Finally, I want the weapon fixing and upgrading from Skyward Sword back. Buffing the weapons so that they are stronger would help with the durability issue. (I have read that another game that did weapon breaking figured out that increasing durability wasn't the best way to solve the problem, but instead increasing the damage. Players don't really notice how many times they've swung the weapon, but they do notice how many enemies they've killed with a weapon. It's a bit of a psychological trick, that we don't really care how long it lasts, so much as how useful it was.)
I just want redeads to appear in Tears of the kingdom
1: No thanks; I'm not playing a survival game.
2: NO to the pouch system; I recently watched an entire playthrough of Skyward Sword, and the Adventurer's Pouch is absolute trash in my opinion. I'm fine with inventory systems, relatively okay depending on how they're executed, but the pouch was quite possibly one of the most botched ways to do an inventory system in any game I've seen, and the extensions don't help the problem; Stick with the inventory system in Breath of the Wild: Much more intuitive and rewarding in my eyes. Same goes for the materials in that game as well as the sidequests and Day/Night cycle. (Hell, considering most of the sidequests just give you Gratitude Crystals, you can easily argue there's really one sidequest that actually matters, that being Batreaux's quest to become a human.
3: What weapon fixing? Skyward Sword only had shield repairs, and even those became negligible costs later in the game, especially when the Sacred Shield + both of it's upgrades allows it to heal relatively quickly.
8:45 OR could be a similar fight concept to Stallord from Twilight Princess? a Fossilized animal who due to the malice brought to life like the dark magic that brought Stallord to life for that fight
An instrument would be great, they are such a zelda thing that was very absent from botw
I had a dream that they improved the voice acting for tears of a kingdom and a playable Zelda and she's a badass
A game with a more alien-esque theme like they showed in Creating A Champion with that giant UFO would be so cool
That could maybe the theme of the next entry to form a trilogy. They could call it "Sword of the Stars" Sadly we may have to wait until the end of 2029 for it 😢 😔
I definitely agree with the Hinox stuff, it’d been way more interesting to see them do more than sleep as you approach them.
Well look who called the Redeads out. :)
Funny thing about the Hinox somersaulting...
They actually do something similar to that in Age of Calamity, as a attack you can stasis them with to stun them to break their weak point gauge.
Just a Lil something I wanted to mention!😅
After seeing the gameplay, the runes are pretty similar. The ultra hand ability is VERY similar to magnesis.
Coming back to this video after the most recent direct trailer, you had some solid hits for predictions!
Aliens in Zelda is something I never even considered but still sounds weirdly awesome
Love you Nintendo Black Crisis keep up the good work/vids 😉😉😊😊😊
I haven’t watched your videos in a while, and at the beginning when you started talking my brain got excited, like “YOOO ITS THIS GUY AGAIN!!”
Then at the end I was reminded of your epic outro 😄
Game play as Zelda is what I was hoping for.. her outfits gotta stay Royal. She is THEEEE Princess of all video games. Maybe only Peach can touch her coattails.
With the sheikah technology gone, we will need a new fast travel system. I recommend portals. No not valve portals but those already used in Zelda such as the warp pads in most of the downfall timeline, the subrosian portals in Oracle of Seasons and the dark world portals in in a link to the past. Perhaps that’s what some of those glowing green spirals are seen in the most recent trailer? Maybe they shoot us into the sky to have us crash down somewhere else. That would be awesome. Just wonder how or if we’ll be able to interact with them out in the open or if we will have to find a nearby one to fast travel.
Oooh I think the malice possessed massive skeletons could be amazing and actually apart of it
If they keep weapon durability I'd love to have a little health gauge so I know how long I've got before a particular weapon breaks. I'd also like to be able to sell weapons
Looks Magnegloves are back as Ultrahand
Imagine they bring back the scrapped Guardian designs lmao
Honestly I could see using one of the designs to bring back digdogger
I think breath of the wild took a lot of inspiration from Skyrim and monster Hunter. And I believe that tears of a kingdom will take a lot of inspiration from the Witcher and Elden Ring. The Eldon Ring featured fragmented pieces of different regions on the map with all kinds of natural caves and catacombs that served as smaller dungeons, Eldon ring also featured what we call legacy dungeons which are the main larger dungeons. I'm kind of feeling that tears of the kingdom might somewhat mirror a lot of these features

Imagine a Zelda game about fighting with music. Something like the game Brütal Legend. And in the final battle Link and Ganon have an insane guitar duel like in the movie Crossroads. And instead of making there own soundtrack they could just insert there mixtape and call it a day. It would be crazy and nothing like a Zelda game at all but dammit I want this to be a thing now.
Image if Zelda just became Hi-Fi Rush or No Straight Roads
A creative mode that you can build anything in or a area that is dedicated to building stuff.
I really wish they add more indoor areas. I loved to explore hyrule castle. The rest of the open world was all outside.
Your videos are fun. Thanks for making them. I've been subbed for years.
Some type ofundead boss
Hats for link not just like helmets and stuff
Buyable potions
Underwater swimming
Claw shots
More settlements
Dungeons
Human boss that is super hard to beat kinda like maz koshia but not like a relic of the past
I feel like the simplest explanations are the most realistic. The green vials are most likely batteries of sorts to power links new hand. I think you'll start out with all of the base runes like the sheikah slate, but you'll only have a limited amount of magic you can use at one time. Given that we can see that the arm runes will be essential for traveling in the sky, it's possible that this is how Nintendo will limit the player in the world similar to the stamina meter.
I will always be mad at the fact that when the world flooded, the Zora for some reason evolved to be birds. THEY CAN LITERALLY BREATH UNDERWATER!! WHY DID THEY EVEN NEED TO EVOLVE???
Aren't the Zora usually shown living in a big lake or some other land-locked body of water rather than swimming in the ocean? For the most part, fish that live in fresh water can't survive in salt water, and vice versa, so the Zora probably couldn't adapt to the ocean.
@@hallowwolf3599They couldn't adapt to the ocean but they could adapt to living on land and growing wings and beaks?
2 words: Golden Goddesses. They simply wanted the Zora to evolve into Rito after the Great Sea was formed.
Apart from the salt water/fresh water thing, there is also the fact to consider that the Goddesses probably wanted Hyrule to remain hidden under the ocean, so the Zora were forcibly evolved to become creatures of land and air, but not sea, so that they couldn't swim down and discover Hyrule. There is also the possibility that some Zora evolved into the "Fishmen" creatures we see in Wind Waker.
@@mrnegative4482 Remember that Hyrule was protected by an invisible bubble which prevented anyone from reaching the Kingdom. Whoever tried to reach Hyrule would crash into the bubble wall surrounding the Kingdom being incapable to do it no matter what. It's more likely that the Zora evolved into the Rito so that they could become postmen and keep the Great Sea warned in case Ganondorf ever returned (which he did). Being flying postmen in a world made of small islands makes sense when there's a satanic being out there trying to take over the World.
This video is exactly what I've been waiting for. This is all purely valid speculation considering it's rooted from the original writers ideas
13:47 That looks more like a Shiekah to me than a Gerudo. Very reminiscent of Impa in OoT, they even have a rough outline of a Eye symbol on their chest.
very good video idea. Was very intressted when i saw the thumbnail and title
I would love it if they would add a better system telling you the health of your weapons or ways to repair them. Secondly, I want link to be able to throw hands lmao
If we get to go underground, don't forget to go spelunking for Kohga :)
Not vials. They're batteries!
Unpopular opinion, but I feel like Tingle would be a perfect inclusion for TotK. Not only would he kinda fit thematically, given the seemingly dark parallels to Majora's Mask, having a cartographer in an open world LoZ game makes too much sense. If we don't have the Sheika slate, give us a physical map that we pay Tingle to update as he floats around from region to region on his dumbass ass balloons.
Also, Minish would be awesome. Make Minish a mainstay race in LoZ!
12:20 I am assuming the reason Hinox are always sleeping is purely a hardware limitation. But here's hoping that TotK not being originally made for Wii U, and having plenty of time to optimize as an asset flip, allows Nintendo to pull off large, wandering enemies.
For the love of god let me pet dogs! please and thank you!! I also want Kass to appear somehow, I loved all the quests he (or his family) were involved in.
*let us pet the dog.*
To take a page from Age of Calamity, what if Link has his Zonai Arm and Zelda has the Sheikah Slate.
Oo yeah that makes sense! Like let's say Link and Zelda get separated or something so he gives her the Skeikah Slate
@@tamclam the trailer for Tears of the Kingdom shows Zelda fall into the earth. Some have theorized we play as Link in the sky and Zelda underground. Would be cool if Zelda took possession of the Sheikah Slate after BotW so she uses it in TotK, and Link uses his new arm.
What if when Link's weapon brakes, he can punch, kick, elbow, and/or block with his arms. Some other things they can add is him using his shield to hit and deal damage, pick up rocks to throw or hit with, use arrows as a (one or two time use) knife ( possibly only for stealth strikes), or directly hit enemys with the bow.
I thought of something similar based on the fact that the healed arm's nails are long, so he could even scratch with those.
@L. You're acting like that's exclusive to Breath of the Wild.
Seems like you actually want a Zelda themed fighting game, and while that would be a VERY cool thing to see, I don't think it's happening anytime soon.
Hm here 9:00 you got me thinking.
What Shika technology did Ganon use here.
The Devine Beasts look pretty in tact.
So I don't think Ganon took parts of it.
Except, of course, for those Shikatechnological bits that materialize like the Epona Zero.
What I'm noticing until now is that Ganon comes out of his cocoon in the castle and the blights from the control console of the respective Devine Beasts.
Is that coincidence or intentional?
At the very beginning I thought that Ganon used the bodies of the old champions to create the blights.
Because those on the tapestry looked like shika technique to me.
However, this cannot be, since the bodies of the old champions are no longer in tact by then.
Except for the body of the Gorudo Champion.
Since this will probably be preserved in the desert under optimal conditions.
I would love it if we were in TOTK
could learn more about the Old Champions.
Because I don't know if AOC is considered canon or not.
I always thought as a joke what if Ganondorf was the only Gerudo Champion before Urbosa.
Think about it, both Link and Ganondorf are in a chamber in the dark and there is something hanging over them both.
At Link the technology of the shrine of resurrection and over Ganondorf this pyramid on the ceiling.
But that's just for fun as it wouldn't work anyway and would be more like fanfiction material.
So please don't take this seriously.
It is noticeable nonetheless.
AOC is canon in and of itself. Terrako is from the botw time line, so are the descendants, because they all already know Link.
Its likely that the sheikha weaponry came from the ground, seeing how they were hidden long ago.
and as for the pyramid theory....
he already has a vid on it:

Thank you 😊
If they give us a Sheika Slate knock-off but with limited uses, that would be really cool for resource management.
