ARLO: We’re going to go into great detail in this analysis!
Also ARLO: Those are some uhh...Squiggle Squoogles
You don't speak Arlish do you?
Hahaha
@@clbl8706 Arloan, you mean.
That is the scientific term, yes.
Also: "futury ancient kinda thing"
Nintendo: “The sequel to Breath of the Wild is now in development.”
Arlo: “Judging by this information I’m assuming this means the sequel to Breath of the Wild is now in development .”
Thank u for your insight arlo XD
It was amazing
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
That's a pretty big assumption to make Arlo...
At least his interpretation was competent 😂
“Right here, we probably get the most important piece of information. And that is, Zelda’s got a haircut! It looks kinda nice!”
- Arlo 2019
Seriously though, don't cut your hair short ladies.
Dan Toland bro who asked you
@@danfc3s every time someone says this they should be forced to shower with long, thick hair and sit there while it dries for six hours
@@GRAPEJUlCE Yeah, they can have whatever hair they want, and other people can have whatever taste they happen to have. Some people just don't like short hair. It's personal preference, and people are entitled to their opinions.
I want this train of making fun of Dan Toland to continue
19:06
Ghost King: “Where’s the castle?”
Zelda: “It got up and walked away”
“It what?”
“It got up and walked away”
“It got up and walked away?”
“See! It sounds crazy even when you say it”
Is that a Phineas and Ferb reference?
@@Wrenchy247 You got it! Man was that a good show
@@lordnpc3953 THAT'S where it was from! I knew it sounded familiar.
But erm,, it doesn't?
It slowly rises off the ground. Which in fact, makes it even more Epic
netweed09 dude just take a joke
Arlo: "maybe they decorated ganon which is weird cause nobody liked him"
Yiga Clan: "Am I a joke to you?"
Yes
i saw another video going with the argument that maybe the Yiga clan was the one that made this, some kind of ritual or something, and they pointed out the similar look between ganondorf and the sheikah monks in the shrines
Explain the blue cloths similar to those of the Champion's clothing material?
Yes. All of you and your stoopid, joke of an enemy ''Muster Khogcrap''
No no no!! It's
Yiga Clan: Are you sure about that?
Arlo, that hand is clearly the toilet hand from Majoras Mask. Can't believe you would miss such an obvious detail in an analysis video.
Must be a reference to the dark aspects of the games.
Alec Francis calm down
TweekPark what?
@@MH-sg8rn This command does not make sense.
Nate Wilson he being rude af like it ain’t a big deal he missed something no need to get so annoyed
Arlo: I'm not sure, but they're weird little squooglewoogles...
Me: *hits that like button*
So here's my thoughts:
1) We never actually see the pack beast in the same shot as the corpse. It's entirely possible that these scenes are completely unconnected and were just stapled together for the trailer.
2) The hand is, in my opinion, definitely some kind of sealing spell and/or entity keeping Ganondorf contained, and it seems to be of Gerudo origin.
3) When Link reaches out and recoils, it looks like the glowy green magic stuff is absorbed into his arm. I'm calling it right now: This is the new gimmick for the game, Link will have this crazy magic hand with all sorts of abilities not unlike his Sheikah smartphone from the first game. Nintendo really got into that concept of having a suite of abilities to manipulate the environment, and I have no doubt that they are going to expand on that. Link's new green magic hand is going to be the source.
4) I have two theories as far as the ending goes. One is that the castle is being taken to a new location, possibly even another plane of existence, and Link & Zelda are along for the ride. Second is that the castle is being moved out of reach, and Link & Zelda will be spelunking through an underground world trying to find a way to reach it. Either way, the fact is that we need a new world to explore, and this is going to be tied to it.
5) These underground caverns have a lot of those blue crystals, which were used in ancient Sheikah technology but were NOT a common item in the overworld. Just getting a few arrows made of the stuff was expensive and difficult. The point is that these things are rare, so seeing them naturally underground tells me this place has been untouched for an extremely long time. I think these caverns are going to expose more of the history of when these crystals were once mined, and perhaps this will be tired into the original conflict with Ganondorf. A resource like that would certainly be a good basis for a war.
AkuTenshiiZero I like your 3rd theory
might be a bit late, but it's kinda obvious that the gems are luminous stones, not the ancient tech made of an unknown substance but this extent of untouched stones could also suggest that the place is untouched. so, your 5th theory isn't completely ruined.
@@jjtheprogenitor I think they're timeshiftstones which the ocarina of time is made of. We know the Shiekah used them for their technology in Skyward Sword to build robots, so maybe their technology now is also made out of timeshiftstones. This would for example explain how the guardians could stay active for 10000 years and how the monks could survive this long. Maybe travel Link and Zelda in time?
I might be totaly wrong but dont the things at the top of the catacomb look like some type of guardian stuff (2:05)
Edit: Like the spidery arms from the guardians
why does this only have like 35 likes
“I feel like I’ve seen this hand”
That’s the toilet hand duh
drehm7
Really similar to the hand of Midna as well in Twilight Princess.
drehm7 oh shit, I forgot about that lol. Thanks for reminding me!
@@williamt1267
What. How dare you forget the iconic toilet hand. Just kidding. Many people still don't know about it as I believe it was very possible to completely miss it.
Gamer Singer I remember experiencing it when I was like 8 and thinking mm was the best game ever made lmao
@@williamt1267
I had certain vibes from it myself that I enjoyed more than even Ocarina of Time to be honest. I recall clearly the N64 needed an expansion pack to play it though and that was one reason why I couldn't figure out how it worked until some years later. Great game though. That alien part was hilarious.
The good thing about using the same engine is that they can focus on story and new mechanics.
And more Koroks
Nintendo please give a shit about the story this time...😟
What we really need is a new successor to the switch with 3 x 4 times the graphical power that can let us play at 1080p 60 fps.
All right this is my theory:
Link and Zelda have a reason to know about this 'dungeon' underneath the castle. Something seems off in the land of Hyrule and Zelda is afraid of something going on down in this 'dungeon', so Link and Zelda go to investigate the dungeon, packed and well, because they're not sure how big the 'dungeon' is.
We see several shots of them travelling through the 'dungeon' (5:39, 8:32), including the one on the bridge (10:09). This is where they enter the entrance shown (14:07), but their pack-animal doesn't want to go across the broken bridge, so they leave him behind and enter.
Here they stumble across the paintings on the wall (4:12 and later 10:18), where Zelda finds out that the paintings are about Ganondorf in the past and how he was locked away down in this place. At 10:37 she realizes that Ganondorf is locked away down here, which is why later they might not be as surprised to see the corpse (or they were shocked and we just didn't get to see it).
They progress and eventually find the room (6:47) where the corpse is. Ganondorf is being held in place by ancient magic of some sort (the arm, 11:37), but it's slowly losing control over the situation, hence why the squiggly thingies are floating away from him (5:33) and why the malice coming from the corpse seems to be gaining control (10:55). It is also possible that the magic loses control after Link touches it (13:15) or both. Anyway, Link touches it and the magic seems to partially go into his arm now... (13:29)?
This is where stuff goes terribly wrong. Ganondorfs power gains control over the situation and he manages to free himself (14:42 and 15:43, where Ganondorf has regained control over his movement and possibly even 16:18, where Ganondorfs body is fully back in his control). Link backs away from the corpse as the ancient magic fades away (19:50) and the malace is free to spread (13:31). It causes the floor to break apart (15:16 and the bit after it shows malace floating through the air, just like around malace in BotW, showing that the malace is spreading now) and Zelda falls down (15:31). Link tries to grab her (13:48), but the ancient magic force (don't really understand that part but ok) drags Link back up (14:14). Link is caught off guard and lets go of Zelda, who after falling down seems to be staring at something scary (16:09), then the malace spreads even further (9:06). The only thing after this would probably be the rising castle (17:49), I haven't really concluded what that's about, but I think it's caused by Ganondorf and his regaining of power.
Let's see in about 2 years from now how wrong I was :)
TL; DR
Zelda got a haircut
Jeroen I’m hoping 2020 maybbbbbeeee
@@ilikefastvroo2530 Nah 2021 Zelda's 35 anniversary.
I wonder if the fact that the light from the master sword is being lost has to do with the spell or SPIRIT holding Ganon in place is loosing strength.
It was around 70% accurate, but the most unaccurate part of your comment is expecting to come out in 2021
The music is a distorted version of the game over music from Zelda 1, which is pretty fitting.
The Game Over music is very similar to the beginning of Zelda 1’s credit intro.
A year late but it's been disproved. They're very different.
@@ZiggyMandarr with my very small amount of experience I did a video on disproving it lol. It was always a weird idea.
*"Some nice swirl and like a weird, black tentacle goopy thing"*
I love Arlo's commentary so much!
"this.. this malice goop."
agreed!
I scrolled down here and read this exactly as he said it.
Honestly, it's why I'm here lol
Me: There's no way a 30 minute analysis of a two minute trailer can be interesting the whole time
Also me: Damn, I can't believe I missed that detail on frame 592
tell that to GameXplain xD they do it all the time
@@anthonyrubel4057 yeah when BOTW had a short teaser with just some grass shown, they had a 45 minute commentary on it

When Link pulls his hand back, he's definitely being bestowed some kind of power. He's not just reaching to touch the corpse. For one, he has his entire right sleeve rolled up, and his left arm is keeping his right arm straight and forward. So he was clearly prepared for this and planning on what is happening here to happen.
Yeah to me it looks like he shoots some kind of magic which makes me very excited
12:30...no...it can't be....the toilet hand....ITS THE TOILET HAND
THE CALAMITY DESTROYED ALL THE ANCIENT SHEIKAH PAPER MILLS! THERE IS NO PAPER TO GIVE HIM! NOW HE WILL HAVE HIS REVENGE ON ALL THE WORLD!
Paper....
xsaaxaxaxaxxxxaxaxaxxxxa i love that paper
SHE SEEKS GROOSE
What else were you expecting? He had to make his comeback
You know what I found kind of weird? In the zelda lore there's always one gerudo male born every 100 years, yet we never see or hear mention of this other than ganon (who wasn't really referred or hinted at being a gerudo in the first place). And in breath of the wild, link gets killed and is taken to the temple of resurrection for 100 years as well, which would lead us to believe that there would be another male born right?
Wrong.
The gerudo male was never born because...
Ganon was never dead.
minscay oh shoot...
They didn't really need to hint to Gannondor being Gerudo... because you can just look at him and see that he is.
I think the male gerudo is born even if there’s another living male gerudo
@@lukejones4245 I think breath of the Wild kind of fixed that. If I remember right, some of the women talk about the Gerudo men and women having to travel far and wide in search of each other.
@@krislancaster1214
Close; Gerudo women go out into Hyrule to find mates among the Hylians.
In OOT they kidnapped and imprisoned Hylian men to serve as babymakers.
Calamity Ganon could have been more of a Phantom Ganon, and that this is his real body.
At 7:24 Ganondorf, Link, and Zelda are standing in the formation on the triforce.
Link and Courage on the bottom right
Zelda and Wisdom bottom left
Ganondorf and power in the middle at the top
The squiggly light things sometimes turn into Gurudoe letters.
Luminous stones were said to be rare in Hyrule, but they’re abundant in this cave.
Luminous stones were said to hold the souls of the dead.
The squiggly light things and the weird hand shine the same glow as luminous stones.
That same glow is around the spirits of the four fallen champions aswell.. hmMM
You know what the words say?
Oh yeah, it is the same color as the spirits.
Don’t know what the words say
I’m Special those really remind me of what’s on the Cleansed shadow beasts in the twilight realm
"We're GameXplaining this one." - Arlo
your arlo evolved into gamexpain!!!!
Cue Pokémon evolution jingle
3:10 Calamity Ganon is Ganondorf's STAND
*insert Dio-Jotaro approach meme*
Oh? Link you're approaching me? instead of running away you and Zelda are coming directly to me?
@@Cahzery I can't beat the *HIYAAA* out of you without getting closer.
@@AshnSilvercorp *OH HO* then come as close as you'd like.
Let me share my theory here:
Have you noticed how in the trailer there's a portion of the malice that is moving upwards, towards what appears to be some metal tubes (they look like the same material used on the Guardian's legs)? What if Ganondorf's malice is the real source of the Sheikah technology? What if the the Sheikah found a way to convert the evil energy into the blue, harmless energy that powers their machinery? Think about it. This would explain why the malice could be used to control the Divine Beasts. Its the same energy, just in its raw form. Maybe thats why Vah Rutah stops working in the end BotW. Somehow, the defeat of Calamity Ganon may have damaged the flux of energy that used to fed all of Hyrule. That would also explain why theres no sign of sheikah techonology to be seen in this trailer. All of it stopped working. Maybe that's what prompts Zelda to investigate whats the cause and they end up discovering something thats was meant to be forgotten.
@Andrew Gray I know that. But my theory is that when they first fought him they still didnt have technology. Instead, they had to use real magic. After that they figured out how to transform the malice into usable energy.
I like your theory - it would make sense. After Vah Ruta has stopped working, they try to find the answer, going to seek the energy source, and then they discover that!
@Andrew Gray well think about it this way- he was calamity canon when they fought him with the beasts. Which means his physical form has been trapped for even longer, and the malice escaping the seal had already existed and begun to form Calamity Ganon.
They had his body and the source of malice before they fought him with the powered tech. It does make sense.
Incredible theory
Fun Fact: That is the same rat that started up the Quantum Realm machine in Avenger's Endgame.
Which is actually Bran during the long night.
Ganon knew the rat was going to call the Avengers to stop Ganon so he killed the rat before it can escape hyrule castle
which is also one of the rats from a hitchhikers guide to the galaxy
I said the same thing in another video
@@derp3870
Those were mice.
At 0.44 in the trailer we can see Link with a glowing hand. So I think what’s happening here is:
- Glowing hand is keeping Ganondorf trapped.
- Something happens that make Zelda fall, Link tries to save her, but also falls.
- Glowing hand "decides" to save link and it grabs his hand.
- This releases Ganondorf and he is alive again, but in return Link now has the power of Glowing hand.
Iplaythedjembe favorite theory so far
I thought the same thing, it sounds super possible
What if this game has a "gimmick" that Link can seal evil away or some shit?
WHAT IF that hand was the power of master sword keeping Ganondorf sealed away and when Link fell to save Zelda, the sword has decided to save his master instead of keeping Ganondorf?
The hand also reminds me of Fi's design, like her left side. But we never saw her hands in skyward sword, maybe the spirit of the master sword was keeping things under control and then link showed up and was able to gain that power from the hand.
The hand must be a kind of seal holding Ganondorf's heart in place. That's my take away
14:55 that looks like Demise, but since Ganondorf is Demise reincarnated the shadow can be only symbolic
Looks kind of like Wind Waker Ganondorf (of all things) to me. Square chin and all
Demise has short fire hair, so the flowing locks don't really add up
Would be cool if it were demise though!
@@sparkkitsune oh you right
@Static Gaming I was saying that the shadow could be symbolic of Demise, the body is Ganondorf for sure... But the hair of the shadow doesn't match with Demise's hair anyway
@@sparkkitsune
It technically is
Ganon is demise
Someone has probably mentioned this but at 17:40 the earrings have a Gerudo symbol. It's definitely Ganondorf
The pedestal he's lying on at 11:25 also has the Gerudo symbol! It has to be him, I'm just wondering how he fits into all this when Zelda said in botw that he had given up on reincarnation
i think i remember something on GameTheory where they explain what timeline botw is in and how he didnt reincarnate as ganondorf for any of those games so him having the gerudo jewlery from ocarina of time makes a lot of sense. I can't remember every little detail about what that video had because i haven't seen it in a long while but i like the effort the game designers went to to show what ganondorf we are seeing
@@daniell.5148 "given up on reincarnation" was a mistranslation.
It could just be that the magic glowy hand held ganondorf's body in limbo, forcing his spirit to try to reform elsewhere, like all the mechanical gross stuff at the end of BOTW.
The green morphing light also flits in and out of letters from the Gerudo alphabet.
Arlo: it’s probably something I don’t even care about
BotW2: oh really
Arlo: HUBBA_WHA?? BUHUBBABABA!!
Nintendo World Report translated the text. It says seal ganon. Check their video :)
HolD mY LoN LoN MilK
Dodo I just checked it out, very interesting. Thanks for the recommendation!
If it plays like BOTW instead of Ocarina Of Time, WindWaker, Link to the Past, Skyward Sword, Twilight Princess, Arlo is correct, we shouldn’t care about BOTW2
16:00 - "Maybe the corpse was decorated, which would be pretty weird cuz nobody likes Ganon"
Uh the Yiga like Ganon
Some notes:
The angular style of the jewelry on the glowing hand is somewhat reminiscent of Zonai architecture seen in Faron, the Lomei Labyrinths, and the Thyphlo Ruins.
The color of the hand is very reminiscent of Blupees and the Lord of the Mountain.
The Gerudo symbol on the jewelry and rocks further confirms that it's Ganondorf.
this dude had it 3 years ago
Bingo
Almost 30 minutes of Arlo.

WeKnowGaming dude I’m dying haha
@@neotms A++ reference.
This is really simple, but I'm super hyped for a canonical Zelda location to be called Ganon's Tomb. And that Ganon is now a redead.
I dont think he's a redead, I'd say it's malice keeping him together aswell as that seal, redeads are typically sheikah made but this looks more zonai, the first thing he reminded me of was actually the monks in breath of the wild who fade away into the same green colour
Shhh, let me have this...
Alex Wolfe the zonai and sheika appear to have *SUPER* close connections based on BOTW
Light and Dark world?? Pulling Link in to save them.... from Gannondorf.
The squiggle-wiggles say, "Jolly-jeeperz, ploopy-pleeperz," a Hyrulian translation of Arlo speech.
Michelle Franklin pl-oo-py
Daneurism I'm not GAY, Greg.
Just FYI, the Gerudo symbol is all over the corpse’s jewellery and chair. So yeah, it’s Ganondorf.
Also he has the weird forehead jewel. Which I never even took conscious note of before.
Yeah I love how Arlo noticed how the jewerly screamed gerudo but missed the symbol that is blatantly on the earrings
Or another male Gerudo. The lore never stated that every make Gerudo has to be a reincarnation of Ganon.
I knew this symbol was familiar, I just couldn't remember what it was.
@@TheGlasses61 no but considering the malice emitting from the corpse and the overall history of zelda games.... Its ganondorf's dead body. And that will be used to explain lore-wise why ganon had no humanoid form in botw

"Time jumps are all over the place"
dude. DUDE. DUUUUUDE.
Hyrule Castle was floating when Ganondorf took over in Ocarina of Time, so it’s not unprecedented.
Forrest Perry I forgot about that.
Remember that the "great plateau" also float in the past.
exactly!!!! i haven't seen enough people point this out online
@@masterburgn it was skyloft that was floating. Not only that the great Plateau was the land below the clouds before Hyrule was called Hyrule. Skyloft was floating Above the Clouds. Although you also could be talking about the great plateau in BOTW not SS ( Skyward Sword.)
the great plateau has the oot hyrule castle
On a platform with so many obnoxious voices, you are one of the most easy-to-listen-to youtubers I know. Nice analysis.
Arlo and Zeltik for sure. It's so tough to watch GameXplain because of their voices
...while also being a Sesame Street puppet. I don’t think I could voice a Grover knock off without making it sound annoying.
Vince Godman yeah I agree a little bit. Another creator who does Zelda stuff is Dr. Willy but I cringe when I have to listen for too long lol
Vince Godman. Dunno find Gamexplain the easiest channel to watch actually. Personally enjoy their very casual “laid-back” tone when talking about games, pretty refreshing on a very vocal platform imo.
Psycho Magalor yeah. I like the dudes there too
I dunno, piano can be pretty scary.
Remember the first time you ran into a Guardian?
Also the haunted piano in Mario 64
"When you reach your hand into a force field," You know, as you do.
Arlo is working overtime 😁 . Remember to take care of yourself!
"that is not Link on the bottom, that is Zelda on the bottom"
*outofcontext.mp4*
OwO
nope.avi
hold up
"That there is link standing with zelda riding..." more out of context
at 2:04 those spiky pillars look the same as the pillars around hyrule castle in botw 1
Probably just asset recycling.
This is what makes me think the area is under the castle
In what way? Those were flat ish at the top and covered in the little light designs of sheikh tech, these are pointed and with looping patterns carved into the surface, you know? Aside from being pillar like things I dont see the resemblance
The King of Hyrule's grave is on a mountain in the starting area.
Wait is it the weird column of stones where you can get like some amber?
Etendo 93 yes
Wait whaaat?? Where is it at exactly? How have I not noticed this after putting almost 200 hours in the game lol
jb0258 where you get the warm jumper thing
I really hope that somebody will try and assemble the trailer sections in the right order

Prediction: Ganondorf corrupts hyrule and link has to use his new glowy arm to clean it up, sunshine-style
XD
I hope it’s co-op with link and Zelda
That's what I think is gonna happen
( Isle Delfino music begins to play)
*Sunshine 2 confirmed*
Zelda's like Whaaaaat? and Link's like Wut?
I love this commentary
The concept art for Breath of the Wild could give clues to the sequel, they wrote about it over at Polygon. Basically, there is concept art of hyrule castle floating above the lands, and of link having a magic arm that can turn into different weapons.
Floating castle feels like a given after the teaser, but honestly, I would prefer it to stomp around hyrule field on giant stone legs lol
My guess for a part of this story is that this magic blue hand is what kept this form of ganondorf trapped for centuries, but its power was weakening and ganondorf would soon escape, hence all the goopy dark magic. So whatever magic or consciousness that compels this hand decided to latch onto link, hoping that link could use that last of its power to finish off ganondorf, instead of just containing him. So instead of a shiekah slate (which was designed with the wii u gamepad in mind anyway), we're gonna get magic blue hand link.
Bro u were technically right! About links hand and stuff!!!!
Gannon: *gets revived*
Link:How many times do I have to teach you this lesson old man
Ganondorf: I love the young people
I asked this same question to giovanni in ultra moon 😂😂
Link: ...
Well EXCUUUUUUSE me, princess!
Ganon being spelled with two n:s makes me cringe sometimes.
What if Link and Zelda have to save Ganondorf from Demise’s curse?
This would be such an amazing story. Sadly, I don't think it will happen
I seconded that, gods do I want it to happen... Knowing nintendo though, who knows, really?
Never.
That would be interesting and raise/answer some good questions.
Is Gannondorf really evil? Or is more like a corruption forced upon him by Demise's dark power?
Just Squid wish we could’ve seen fisherman Ganondorf in MM like it was originally planned
When you reverse it it sounds like someone singing "poor Hyrule link has found the body
Poor Hyrule link is gone"
Maybe the hand took link and you play as zelda
A: what if the “ganondorf guy” is yuga? He has a crystal on his head, he has red hair, he has tons of jewelry, and the corpse looks VERY similar.
B: That hand looks like a hand of the forms of Gannon that’s in each of the divine beasts
What if after link destroyed yuga ganon they were sent here by the sages and ganon (still merged with yuga) reverted to his human form, which explains the yuga like things on ganondorf
Zelda's haircut IS the most important detail from this trailer Arlo.
still think she's gonna be playable/fight alongside link in some way
personally don't like the short hair look, wish she kept old look, but knowing nintendo it be dlc later, they going jump on that band wagon too
i can just imagine zelda asking link for help with a haircut and he tries to use his sword
Terry Lee Specht III what about how Ganon (or whoever that is) looks like the original hero of the kingdom?
@@lionclan4575 Yup I'm thinking short hair so it'd be easier for helms, caps and hoods to fit. Also easier to animate if she's gonna be a playable character (though Aloy in 'Horizon Zero Dawn' has long hair, pretty sure other video games also have long haired playable characters)
Fun fact: the music being played is actually to the tune of the game over music from the first legend of Zelda played in reverse.
I'm sorry but isn't a fact. That's just speculation by this point. It's unclear.
It's not I reversed it myself it almost sounds the same in reverse with the exception of the notes being reversed obviously
@@boiwifeyasmr4U um, like... musical notes are like, totally, like subjective bro.
Exactly, you get it without realizing you get it! Facts are objective. He/she's saying her or his opinion is a fact when it's not. Your proving my point for me.
@@boiwifeyasmr4U nah man. Musical notes in the same order and rhythm isn't opinion. Its math. Facts.
Okay, i know what the corpse is. -It’s a monk.- From the shrines. They all wear that kind of stuff.
Nevermind, that’s ganon, the jewlery fooled me.
The hand reminds me a lot of midna's hand when you grab midna poiints in TP. Maybe we could be dealing with the Twilight Realm?
Dude!
Ganondorf's eyes lighting up while the original fire temple music is playing gave me chills!
Thatneslper I didn’t hear any fire temple music... I’ll rewatch
The singing sounds like the first bar of the fame over theme from the first zelda to me.
@@Cyclamenz *game over
Additional evidence that the corpse is Ganondorf: the Gerudo symbol can be seen on its cloak and some of its jewelry.
And you can also see the wound from the sword
@@noizW can you though? I cant
Magnus it drives me crazy that no one mentions this
Also if this is not Ganondorf i think Nintendo will get SO much hate for misleading fans. I have not played any other Zeldas besides the awakening remake because I’m to young to get my hands on older games and i don’t want to pay for nintendo online. So I have never actually played a game with ganondorf.
@@MegaVirus700 if you look at where on his body the hand is you can see what looks like a wound sticking out. It also happened to be in the same place that Twighlight Princess Ganondorf was stabbed by the sages and where Link killed him with the master sword
Every now and then I come back to this video just to remember that FEELING of when this trailer first came out. Insane to think by the time Tears of the Kingdom gets released in May it'll be almost 4 whole years...4 YEARS!! Since this trailer!!! Like dang!
This ganondorf looks a hell of a lot like that "ancient hero" from 10000 years ago who helped seal calamity ganon away
OH MY GOD
Wdym
*Nintendo:* Here's a short Breath of the Wild 2 Trailer!
*Arlo:* _You can make a 27 minute video out of this_
@@Bangboomme It's actually twice as long as GameXplain funnily enough.
@@Bangboomme 1 hour? Someone's expectations are low!
_We could make a religion out of this._
The torch was what got me thinking of Zelda BOTW
What tipped me off was the spooky red stuff basically just being Calamity energy.
same
As soon as I saw the torch graphics, I knew it was BOTW, so, same
Unijimmy 27 ditto
When I saw the pillars in Ganon’s chamber, the ones from the shrine of resurrection, that’s what made me understand.
Between this Arlo breakdown and Zeltik I feel I have seen the best most entertaining breakdowns. Well done!
One thing that I believe Arlo didn’t point out : There are multiple people with bows behind Ganondorf on the mural, and what seems to be a hand at the edge of the wall, so it’s prooobably a war depiction. But great job man ! You got me even more hyped somehow.
Supposedly, Aonuma said this game will be a bit darker than Majoras Mask. Pretty hype.
Darker than MM?! Heck. yes.
Oh no
Nah, they said the same about Twilight Princess.
@@trebien4400 OH YEAH!!!
Da-Ron Davis oh yeah yeah
I mean, even though he wasn't a very well liked king, Ganondorf was a king of hyrule. So it makes sense for him to get a proper burial and for him to get decorated. Considering people like Ingo existed, it seems like at least a few hylians enjoyed Ganondorf's reign.
He's the gerudo king
@@christianhuerta9529 Yeah but during Ocarina of Time he spent 7 years as king of Hyrule as a whole so it seems right
@@mccookies3664 ocaraina is 10000s of years in the past by this game Way before the 10000 years prior to botw
The only timelines where he got to be King of Hyrule (Adult TImeline and Downfall Timeline) he was sealed into the Sacred Realm (which later becomes the Dark World) so no body to bury, in the Child Timeline Link warns Zelda of what Ganondorf was GOING to do, and he is executed, of course that doesn't work, so they panic and seal him in the Twilight Realm. Their IS a body to bury at the end of Twilight Princess but he was never a ruler of Hyrule.
@@labrynianrebel Yes, but breath of the wild doesn't seem to limit itself To one of the timelines. Remember we have both the rito and the zora existing at the same time, as well as a lot of easter eggs from multiple timelines. Urbosa mentions Ganondorf in botw, and from her mention it would seem that he is a notable figure in hyrule's history, given that he is still remembered in the distant future. It would make sense that in the botw timelime Ganondorf was once a king of Hyrule.
A 'glowy hole'. Lol
12:30 the hand on Ganon-corpse’s chest looks like the time stones from Lanayru in Skyward Sword, but also reminds me slightly of the Four Sword while it sealed Vaati, in how it held Vaati down in the pedestal.
The glowy hand looked like it was old hylian tech...
Like Rod of Dominion old
Word of advice from a Zelda Fan: don't expect new elements to be related to older lore.
I’m expecting something more like Sheikah shrines old, but it’d be cool if it was related to older lore
I'm guessing it's a seal that makes ganon's spirit rest. Due to all the symbols and stuff. Maybe the malice reawakens him and destroys the seal.
It almost reminded me of Skyward Sword's Temple ruins tbh.
Wesley Damaschino Unless it’s related to Skyward Sword. Nintendo is obsessed with referencing Skyward Sword for some reason. Probably because it’s the Genesis of the series lore-wise.
Yes, I agree that zelda's haircut is the most important thing here
It very well could be! Long hair on player character models is notorious for causing clipping issues. With a shorter haircut, it would be easier to elegantly add stuff to Zelda's character models, such as sheathed weapons, bows and quivers, a shield on her back, or various hats.
In other words... playable Zelda? The teaser seems to be ambiguous about whether Zelda or Link disappears. Perhaps you get to choose?
@@Codraroll Two player possibly?
Also Zelda's haircut is reminiscent from the the girl's haircut in the movie princess mononoke which was a heavy influence on breath of the wild
I hope they are both playable characters, and not just Zelda please nintendo
There's quite a bit of speculation for this trailer, so I'll add my own thoughts as well.
The motif on the wall is, without a doubt, Ganondorf. Phantom Ganon from OoT is the only time we see him in that particular way, but it's easy to assume that's how he would have been like before gaining the Triforce of power and foregoing the trident.
The hand is definitely a seal of some kind to keep the malice from escaping, as the wound in his chest has more of a bursting type of shape to it, implying that the malice literally burst from him. It's hard to say what it could mean without the context from the story, but it could also possibly be related to Demise and the curse.
The hand itself has the same coloring as the monks in the shrines when they fade away, so it could be related to them. It could also be that, maybe it's the arm of the ancient queen using a sealing spell like Zelda was meant to, or even Hylia herself, to stop this dark power from escaping into the world. The jewelry on the arm looks royal or important in some fashion, but the long nails could mean it's something else entirely. Very hard to tell.
The ceiling above Ganondorf reminds me of the towers and how they distill map data, as it almost looks like the malice could be dripping onto his corpse, or it could be rising, like when it breaks free.
When Link's hand glows, it could possibly be him accidentally breaking the seal, or being granted some new power in response to the seal breaking, likely in response to him being the hero. Since the hand also reaches for him to save him from falling into the abyss, there's also a chance the hand could be his new "companion" in the form of game mechanic powers.
That's what I got for now. Still trying to come up with more possibilities.
Even creepier, when you play it backwards at 23:19 you can hear a whisper that says "help us... please"
Guys.
Rats.
Rats are back! Rats are back in a mainline Zelda game!
OK, fine. I'm the only one pumped about this :/
WindWaker2 confirmed
Talk to me when we get keys and ropes
@@ProjectEchoshadow
BotW had both keys and keese.
It also had lengths of rope but I do hope to see horrifying swarms of Ropes (snakes) and Tektites (spiders) to go along with THE BEES.
@@davemarx7856 I mean in the same room. They're the trinity of early game monsters
@@ProjectEchoshadow
Rats Bats and Snakes. Other than skeletons and goblins, they are the go to level 1 enemies for any game that even smells like an RPG.
"It's probably something dumb"
*Majora's-like Zelda game announced*
@Jaden Frostwolf Idk how long they've been developing this but if it winds up being a four year cycle, this will probably be a decent improvement on BotW anyway. That's as long as the gap between Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, with less obvious changes to the game style.
@@thatdanjamesguy.330 People are hoping for a 2-year dev cycle, which is a possibility because the engine already works and they mostly just need to design some additional assets, design dungeons/temples and all that stuff... But I agree, a 3 or 4 year would be good for specifically a BotW series because I'm hoping they take the concept of open melancholic isolation in the first and make a darker open game, which could take much longer than 2 years to get working. I'm also glad it's called out as a sequel to BotW because I don't need every Zelda forever to be like BotW, just like we didn't need them all to be Ocarina. I'm really excited.
@@fen7662 Of course. Ideally the game will come out as soon as it can, but my point was just that a lot could be changed from BotW by the time it's released. The "four-year cycle" comment was assuming they've been in active development since the last BotW DLC was released, and I doubt it's really the case.
@@thatdanjamesguy.330 I agree, I doubt they've been working on it since release. I think they're still in pre-production too.
OMFG Arlo, I thought I was the only one that saw the hand and thought, "Wow, that's SUPER familiar!"
I also felt that way the moment I heard the backwards chanting and such. It really reminded me of the Twilit realm and I almost immediately thought of Midna.
Gameplay might be centered on the hand. What you said was a force-field looked more like his arm was turning to energy. Additionally with the energy moving upwards like it was, I think the hand/seal was coming undone.
I've heard other friends of mine theorize the hand may fuse with links arm and that somehow becomes the new gameplay mechanic.
So in the part of the music that is played backwards, very faintly (it is not part of the main chorus) you can hear a faint voice(es?) say "Help us... Please" almost exactly at 23:21
Hooooly crap you're RIGHT. Oh man I just got goosebumps.
Fuck.
The sense I get is that the hand is a friendly force, perhaps keeping Ganondorf in an undead “stasis”. When the ground beneath Zelda gives way, Link grabs her, and the hand grabs Link.
Wade Wojcik I don’t think the hand is good or evil it symbolizes a cruel form of justice, a chaotic neutral.
But chaotic neutrals don't care about justice
Ooh possibly. What if its a manifestation of the power inside the Master Sword? Keeping Ganondorf in this undead "stasis" as you said. Maybe its just reacting to Link being so close to the threat of all that built up malice around him and thus breaking the seal it held on Ganondorf.
What if the green hand is Ganondorf and it's leeching life from Majora?
In the shot of the hand reaching to Ganon in the shapes on the wall from the bright light. If you look at where the shadows are originating from it looks like there is someone standing over him overseeing the process. Due to the topknot hair style made me think of a Sheikah
when you play the trailer from the end to the start the music sounds a lot better and the hand shoots green stuff into "ganon" and the red stuff "the malice" goes back into "ganon", like he gets restored.
The three things I got out of the trailer:
1) The tone of the game will probably be reminiscent of Twilight Princess, which I hope includes grittier combat.
2) Link probably gets glowy hand powers which replace the functionality the Shika Slate had in BotW.
3) Short Hair Zelda is cute AF.
In an interview, I believe with Gamespot, developers were asjed if tgis game would be the equivalent of Majora's Mask.
They said no, this would be darker.
Darker! I'm excited!
@@Cyclamenz I mean Majora's Mask isn't as dark as people make it out to be. It's a bit heavy but so is Ocarina sometimes. I just hope BotW 2 doesn't try too hard to be dark, becoming the emo teen of the Zelda series.
@@thatdanjamesguy.330 I don't think it'll be the emo teen, pretty sure that goes to Wand of Gamelon.
As for Majora, that's valid. I think a lot of the praise we give these games comes from subtleties and what we read into it. I personally see Majora as a better example of a dark Zelda, superior to Twilight Princess. This could be due to the story, or simply the amount of time I spent playing each game.
@@Cyclamenz If BotW 2 dethrones Wand of Gamelon in any way, something went wrong lol. I can just imagine the ending now: Ganondorf: "You've killed me!" Link/Zelda: "Good."
Majora's Mask is still a dark Zelda that handles its content well. I agree with you about it and Twilight Princess: to me, Majora's Mask is dark whereas Twilight Princess is "dark" (it's themed after the idea that it will be a dark Zelda). And subtle stuff in sparse narratives (like those of most Nintendo games) is always great in my opinion.
weaponmasterJConn i hope they get the dark and gritty right this time
Imagine the ambience of BOTW, but this time it’s dark and unsettling...
Blood moon atmosphere, but it never goes away.
That sounds awesome.
Anyone else notice when the malace goes to get the rat and arlo slows it down it almost seems like a lot of faces and creatures are in it or just hands reaching further like those black hands in the earth temple in wind waker
12:34 I think that the “mother” that is mentioned by the statues and other zombie things in the first game is the hand keeping the corpse at bay and stopping a new bad guy from coming alive again or it “rebirthing evil” and maybe the hand is gannons mother
BOTW: Calamity Ganon
BOTW 2: Manevalent Ganon
Holy moly... I want to play this ASAP. Hype's above the freaking skies
the opening shot of the corpse with the blue swirly things, there are these pointed rocks maybe in the back ground, they kind of look like fingers, like the corpse is being held in the palm of a giant hand. Lots of hands and hand related shots in this video.
20:00 Omg Arlo I never would’ve found that out if it weren’t for you. Thanks man 👍
What if this Ganondorf was put to death for crimes he didn't commit?
The Calamity Ganon was a manifestation of his anger towards the Royal Family.
He doesn't seem like he was dressed for war. He's wearing king's robes and ceremonial jewelry.
He definitely has committed crimes worthy of a death sentence. He's tried to become the Tyrannical Sorcerer King of Hyrule multiple times.
@@hannibustoogfyrre6074 Yeah, in past lives. We don't know if this Ganondorf is one from a previous game or a new incarnation.
Man on the horse looks like Phantom Ganon from Ocarina of Time.
He’s lacking the horns, though, it’d be weird to leave that out
It looks almost exact to lwilight princess ganon to me
12:35 if you look at the animation within the hand/arm itself, it looks as if it’s absorbing the red goo and that the goo is travelling up through the arm and into whatever it’s connected to
I'm calling it: a time related mechanic, I think the video was out of order/confused for a reason
Salome's Studio a lot of trailers are out of order and weird. Doesn't mean anything
The hand gives me Wind Waker/Tower of the Gods vibes
It’s a hand of the forms of Gannon in the divine beasts
Oh wow gamexplain's botw 2 video looks different. Is that Andre? That doesn't sound like Andre.

Preemptive r/woosh
I heard on Zeltik's video about the trailer, those squiggly green swirls are actually Gerudo letters. Some of them do match up...but they keep moving and changing, so it's really hard to tell exactly what any of it says.
Also, that "he gave up on reincarnation" thing is a translation error. The original Japanese version does not say that.
The blue hand is holding ganon in place and is good. That's why ganon had awoken when link disrupts the hand and why you see the hand helping link. The hand being good also links to the design, it's very blue and yellow inferring good rather than evil also as it contrasts to the purple and black from ganon.
