Finally ... someone talking about this ... the next Zelda game needs More Villages 😭😭😭
The switch can't handle it. That's why the kingdom will always be destroyed
They have to know this is essential
@@gregorygan2077 yeah Mabe ...
@@gregorygan2077I doubt we'll get another new non remake zelda game on the switch
@@gregorygan2077 Personally I find the TOTK map tooooo Big ...
A much smaller map pls 🙏 and more content 🙃
After the BotW/TotK map, which was mainly focused around the wilderness and and ruins of a post-apocalyptics world, I think the best way Nintendo could distinguish the next iteration of Hyrule would be by focusing on settlements. Towns and cities everywhere, some returning and some completely new. I think that would be a great starting point for providing a fresh experience
My favourite idea has got to be Kilsie village. just the image of all those cabins dotted around a spring, high in the mountains... it's wonderful.
Not a town or village, but I could see Zelda heading up a memorial park project for the sages she fight alongside way in the past.
I would also dedicate said park to the first king and queen of New Hyrule who's short-lived rule was marked by tragedy and thus deserve a memorial of sort to honor their legacy (the kingdom itself).
champions too of course…
The garrison ruins would make awesome spots. There's already roads, and even foundations to work with.
I think the spot where Serenne stable used to be, right next to the canyon, would be absolutely excellent for a village or Hateno-sized town.
There‘s LOTS of space for farming and construction, it‘s relatively protected in a very empty area, has a major road (especially useful if the tabantha ruins village is ever rebuilt), and is easily reachable by air from Rito village.
Plus, the area is gorgeous, and the long path would be much easier to travel for merchants than the standard rocky route, especially with a village or two on the way.
I was about to suggest the same idea. The area around Salari Plain, Irch Plain, and Rowan Plain is perfectly suitable for an agricultural village. There are several wells around the area in TotK, so they have safe access to water. I think a new stable could be built where Serenne Stable was in BotW and maybe even rebuild the Maritta Exchange center (as along as the Gloom Hands are no longer a fatal hassle to contend with now that Ganondorf has been defeated).
i believe there's actually a mod for that. Not sure what though
My only disappointmentment with totk is that there was only one new town and tarrey town wasn’t as large as I was expecting
The website literally said there will be new towns, implying multiple but we only got one 😔
Honestly, I'd have the Lake Hylia Town actually be a Zora location like in the past. Of course meaning, underwater. The fact the Zora don't have a location underwater is a bit disappointing. I get why (you'd have to allow underwater exploration) but it is still disappointing. I think each of the races should have at least 1 smaller settlement each. Maybe with their own Forts or bases as well.
Nice to see someone making a video on this topic. I was pretty disappointed when I discovered TOTK only has one new settlement.
Honestly one of the most disappointing parts of the game for me
Apparently Zelda and Purah were too busy cleaning debris caused by the Calamity and building new towers for 6 years straight to convince townfolk to rebuild all the derelict settlements.
Honestly, I'd want a cliffside Rito settlement dug into the side of Tabantha
Sounds cool!
A neat spinoff game may be the ability to build villages, castles, games, and such. Think like Minecraft, Mario Maker, and Tears of the Kingdom mixed.
I've been this so much
Or a game where you could play as your own character in a pre-calamity Hyrule. Having a customizable character where you can pick different jobs and get your own house at different villages would be amazing!
Dragon Quest Builders, but Zelda? I would love it.
Its very nice that you put captions on your videos! It's a really good quality of life feature and also makes the videos much more accessible to people with hearing issues.
I appreciate it so much! I have issues with audio processing and on videos without captions I keep having to rewind to try and guess what someone is saying, and it's difficult especially with video makers who have different accents
1. they really should have included a few more new towns in _TOTK…_ Lookout Landing was the only new one, right? maybe they could’ve put two or three more around central Hyrule, to contrast how barren and dangerous it was in _BOTW…_
2. what if instead of helping Addison simply post his signs, you’d actually help him construct a building? and the reward for helping him is more than some rupees or food, it’s also a cabin with a bed and cooking pot you can use… or maybe as you progress through the game, you help him build out more and more buildings each time 🤷🏻♂️
This is something I would’ve wished for in a Zelda game
It's funny how Zelda didn't take advantage of that 6 year timegap to send messengers and emissaries to lands _outside_ Hyrule in order to request assistance in rebuilding the kingdom. By the time TotK happened the ENTIRE kingdom could have been fully revived as many new races and NPCs populate the newly founded settlements.
Honestly, a Zelda building simulator using both BotW and TotK maps with the various house models available to us from both games would be phenomenal.
Nintendo could use this as a chance to show us what they intended Hyrule to look like just before the Great Calamity. A full and pristine Castle, Castle Town, the Great Plateau walls, Akkala Citadel, and various existing houses, settlements, bridges, and military outposts.
Plus a seamless change to TotK’s map similar to Mario Maker between Mario 1/3/World, etc would give us a look at what has changed and why/how.
I think a possible settlement around Fural Plain (south of the Faron Woods by the Highland Stable) and the nearby Guchini Plain would be possible. The climate, while rainy at times, would be perfectly suitable for a settlement. The land is fertile for growing crops, the nearby lakes and ponds could serve as an access to water, and the nearby road leading through the forest could serve as a means of travel and transportation to and from central Hyrule via the Bridge of Hylia for both settlers and merchants alike.
If sea exploration was becoming a thing, Cape Cales would be a good place for a lighthouse. Also, during peace time engineers/inventors could focus on improving transport instead, so maybe something like a chair lift or a simpler drag lift for shield-boarding for Kilsie Village and a gondola-like contraption that would connect Cape Cales lighthouse with ports for oversea travel at Lurelin Village and/or Hateno Village. Also, Typhlo town could go in the direction of many historical tourist spots (currently mainly thinking of Japanese examples): a museum, a big hotel/inn or maybe several small ones, souvenir shops and a cafe, as well as research premises
A lighthouse there would be so cool!
I think the Quarry to the east or the former fairy spot south of Tarry Town would make great work camps/cabin locations... Imagin like the vampires mill in Skyrim, the quarry could have a Zora fisherman and some miners.
Lake Kylsie would be a great place for a sauna tbh, a nice warm sauna and freezing cold lake, I really want to draw that hypothetical town now
LMAO! 11:50. TingleLand or even an expanded TingleWorld would be GENIUS! It would give the Goron Bros Mine-Cart Land some needed competition. 😂Thanks for the laughs. Great channel. Cheers.
Thanks haha!
I'm not sure that typhlo ruins themselves would make a good place for a permanent settlement, the mud lake surrounding it looks like the place could flood pretty badly under heavy rain, but a come-and-go research base sounds likely.
The land is elevated compared to the western canyon. They can drain the bog mud easy.
The Lake Town should have an old London bridge thing going on. Like put part of the town on the bridge.
I wish we could build towns in tears of the kingdom like if they made a DLC for it, that would just be perfect.
that would be amazing!
Kilsie Village sounds fabulous and like somewhere I'd want to go.
I think there could be a town or at least scattered homes along Zora River, specifically in the Tabahl Woods. I also think there could be something on those two strips on land by Akkala Falls, that West Sokkala, East Sokkala, and Sokkala run by.
I do like the great plateau idea although the name could be the plateau pilgrimage settlement. Seeing as it has four religious sights. And each race can have a certain number of people living here. And I hope this open world comes back with extra towns and more music.
13:55 I could see Tingle Town becoming a Vegas like area where the "mini games" are like the casinos and there's live performances there maybe even from the band we see in TOTK.
Things I’d like to see in general for the Zelda series (sorry it not only covers the topic of your video but also goes beyond)
1. An Atlantis type town for the Zora (still didn’t get more swimming like exploration)
2. A game that combines all the best elements from Zelda games…a great sea to explore, a hallow earth-like depths, evil dark mirror world…a triple time travel component that goes far into the past and future…oh yeah add the sky also and natural disasters…earthquakes…tornados…tsunamis…hell just make a whole planet hyrule… put the different biomes vastly far from each other
Haha…i know this comment is way out of pocket…i was inspired by your creativity.
Would’ve loved for them to bring back Mogmas. It’d be perfect since the underground and treasure are a big focus!
New life breathed into caves/depths ✅
Mogma City in Eldin depths ✅
New race that isn’t humanoid ✅
Tons of cool quests with them ✅
Creative niche content. Exactly what I'm subscribed for. Thank you, my friend. I always appreciate such videos.
I think this Hyrule's Gerudo Highlands have been underutilized, and while I think most of it would be sparse anyway, a town near where the Yiga Hideout is would be perfect.
i've been so focused on pre-botw, botw, post-botw, and totk, that i haven't thought much about post-totk. i love these ideas and i hope Hyrule continues to grow like this. but... it is also only now occurring to me that there's a possibility all those sky islands will fall...? i mean, fingers crossed they disappear back to where they were hiding before in the sky, because imagining the Great Sky Island crashing down in the middle of Hyrule Field does not sound great to me 😅 or the wind and water temples falling either.....
Ooh, I adore this, it's always fun to just delve into the smaller potential things of a game world, especially Zelda.
Indeed it is!
The lack of development and new towns in totk was so disappointing especially when it's themed around building and reconstruction
The location i most wished had a new town was the "harbor" below Hateno village which is just.. a rocky beach, it's called a harbor since botw but there's still no actual harbor there
Another location was one that went with my ideas for more dungeons in the game, Akkala citadel being a dungeon that gets cleared out then turned into a new fortress town to protect tarrey
I cant wait to do my designs for hyrule. Im planning on drawing Hyrule and adding onto it. Keeping in mind the current locations and plans that Zelda herself would implement~~❤😊
My (quick and not at all in-depth) thoughts on the subject, before TotK even came out, were that I could imagine each of the stables locations being prime locations for the first new settlements in a rebuilt kingdom. They're convenient locations on what became the relatively safe trade and travel routes for post-calamity Hyrule. While the threat of the calamity was still hanging over them most people stayed in retreat in their few secure locations that we saw as the main settlements in BotW, and stables were a necessary risk to keep some semblance of a connection with the other settlements. But with that threat lifted they'd be free to get a lot more relaxed and to spread out from those strongholds. I'd see the next step from there being for people to build up new villages at the stables locations. Setting down roots there before diving into restoration projects of any old ruins locations or going anywhere too far off the paths they'd grown used to using. Even efforts to clean up Castle Town / Hyrule Castle would likely want to have a closer settlement to stage their operations out of instead of just working out of any of the secluded settlements. (Which is exactly the kind of location TotK did add by adding Lookout Landing.)
I think the Typhlo town would be really cool if they restored the ruins and then added to it to make a zonai/hylian combination of buildings. It would be a research hub/museum, I think.
I think you have a bright future as a city planner. Each idea was wonderful! For my own ideas, one is inspired by living in the Pacific Northwest, and I could see a small town taking shape in the North Akkala Foothills, expanding towards Bloodleaf Lake and probably even down to the Spring of Power. It's rainy and hilly, but very scenic and lush for a settlement.
Another spot I think would be nice is on Koukot Plateau north of Gerudo Canyon. Because the old road is now a river, it would be ideal for a small village to build on the plateau and have maybe a stairway carved into the mountainside leading down to the river.
Oh, and about the settlement on the Tingle islands: they'd have to build some more sturdy-looking bridges, especially when connecting to the northernmost island. My vertigo acted up running down that rickety ramp that was about 100 feet lower than the island before it.
0:07 it's so Wildy Breath-taking it makes the whole Kingdom Tear-up
I absolutely LOVE this kind of content and greatly greatly hope that more of it starts to pop up. While we all know we won't get to revisit this version of Hyrule, sharing our own imaginations of how the map would progress makes me so happy. You're inspiring me to make my whole own video as a follow up to yours LOL this was one of my favourite videos of yours to date. Thank you so much for doing what you do!
Thank YOU so much for watching!
With Lake Hylia, you can have multi story houses with the front door at the top on the top of the bank, and the rest hugging the steep slopes and maybe having a little dock/boathouse type thing out onto the lake itself.
These are all neat spots! In a similar vein, a post- botw based roleplay group im in has a map consisting of 3 new remaining villages on the map, and they're based in and around the akkala parade grounds, the lanayru promenade and damel forest up in would be giant trees around the dracuzo river, respectively.
I really like these theories of expanding this Hyrule with new settlements, maybe the building materials placed around Hyrule could be all constructed into new buildings much later on after the events of TOTK
Hear you on this. One of my favorite quests TotK was the recovery of Lurein Village. And like to be more beach or river towns seeing more boat activity, and Lake Hylia Town sounds like the Lake Town in desolation of Smaug. However, this village or town... Port that's it! A port on Eventide Island. Get nautical side Hyrule. Still a little hurt there is no underwater exploration, but as the survey team can do might as well find more islands or a neighboring continent.
I think the "Ach, I dinnae know" at 9:52 is the most obviously Scottish thing I've heard you say in any of your videos! 😅
Is that why I can barely understand it?
I totally agree with this video! Would love a part 2 bro
The depths, after being cleared of monsters and stuff, would be a great place to build some towns or cities. There are a few areas that are great for it imo, like imagine a town that is next to a chasm and there is a city below it!
I don't think typhlo ruins need a town/village. I feel like that would miss the point of them. The only way I can see it working is an archeology/exploration team setting up camp temporarily.
We need a part 2. This was so amazing to watch!
I like the thought that a tradition in Kilsie Village would be to jump in the freezing lake, then run to the hot springs before you run out of hearts
One thing I’d really love to see in the next Zelda game would be a Termina like town from Majora’s mask. A big, populated town with different kinds of shops and places to eat. Almost like a market town that link could buy weapons and items at, and if that’s too easy then the player could work to get to certain shops (like the Gerudo secret shop/club.) More people = More quests to prolong the game.
Akkala deserved a village, Akkala it's too beautiful to don't have a village
But Tarrey Town is in Akkala
I LOVE the idea of a Zelda game with a list of settlements in the double digits. OoT’s civil war, Clock Town’s slow motion evacuation, TP’s clear decline and BotW’s past Calamity; too many Zelda games take place in a dead or dying world, it’s time to journey through a flourishing kingdom.
As for mixed race settlements; maybe as Link solves the problems facing Hyrule’s various tribes the members of those races travel, join and establish new villages. Maybe Link-and by extension, the player-could be the reason for the kingdom’s boom in the first place.
I would like to see new settlements built by some of the non-Hylian tribes. The Tingle Islands would be a great place for Rito to settle if they want to fish the coast. Maybe the Goron build a mine inside one of the Hebra mountains that is volcanic inside, and maybe the Gerudo start a pirate faction somewhere along the coast.
I wouldn't mind if the next game takes place a few hundred years after TotK in the same Hyrule, but this time everything would be fully rebuilt, Hyrule would be thriving and we would have a new Link & Zelda, maybe even a reborn good Ganondorf and a new villain. Hyrule Warriors Legends gave us new villains which proves that Zelda could do better with a new villain instead of Ganondorf
If Nintendo released a BotW or TotK game where every settlement around Hyrule was rebuilt like they were prior to the Great Calamity where you were free to roam around and explore, I would definitely consider buying it. Even if all you could do was explore and nothing else, I would still enjoy it.
@@AzurePip Old zelda fan left the chat 🤣
At first, I thought that some people would build their home near the Hudson signs, I was so disappointed to see that’s not the case. Also, some places in game really lack towns, and the few one we had were not that changed between the games
I was actually thinking of having Hyrule Castle "moved" to the Plateau. Well, with some possible adjustment. I have alot of planning to do 😆 😢
honestly, relocating the market and homes that used to be castle town the would make lot of sense. protected, but easy to reach, culturally significant, a safe distance from the massive ruined castle away from the painful memories.
there‘s more than enough empty space for that there, and maybe some structure can be reconstructed.
@atlas956 I know right! Well, I didn't think that deep, but yes!
i’d love for the next zelda game to have WAY more towns and cities and not be post apocalyptic
Yes, please!
Just a village floating on the sea to the south East between greater Hyrule and eventide!
Shoutout to the discord server!
Oooh sounds cool!
(Shoutout indeed)
Id love to see a Hylian Sim city like game. You do quest and gather and organize resources to help towns get built up and new towns get settled
I def have planned the revival of some of the village ruins from the calamity.
Doing all of this would be amazing side quests for a game around playing as Zelda
4:21 I feel like zonai devices (especially stakes) will help
Good point!
I’d want a village at the bottom of Satori mountain. People living in harmony with NATURE🙌
Not an idea for a future game, but more of a missed opportunity in this one: The Depths should have had villages. In A Link to the Past, the Dark World equivalent of Kakariko Village was the Village of Outcasts, and that's what I would have liked to see in the Depths. Instead of a mine being directly below every overworld town, there could be a rundown village populated with the descendants of various races who, similar to the Yiga, were cast out of their respective overworld tribes for refusing to swear loyalty to the King of Hyrule.
The outcasts populating the villages could have easily been loosely based on enemies from previous Zelda games, like for example, the outcasts of the Rito tribe could be a re-imagining of the Fokka enemies from Adventure of Link.
Just a thought 😁
I think the Rito should make some settlements in the sky islands, the Zora should expand into Lake Hylia and along the coast, the Gerudo need to ex (re-expand?) Gerudo Town into other parts of the desert, the Gorons need to get Gorondia populated again, and of course, Hyrule Field should be dotted with farms and merchants once more.
I think Cape Cales could use an observatory, like in Akkala.
7:04 Can you also see that on the Frozen Parts of the Eastern Great Sky Islands, Mount Hylia and the Gerudo Highland Mountains at night?
Next Zelda absolutely needs bigger towns in the next one, it’s criminal that we saw castletown but didn’t get to explore it
Too bad we likely won't be returning to this version of Hyrule but im 100 percent on board with all these new Village ideas. AND MORE
Ay thanks a lot!
Kilsie Village makes me think of Lake Louise here in Alberta Canada. Skiing/Snowboarding resort town on a lake.
Akkala citadel. The parade grounds. The citadel itself. On a major trade route. Fishing. Farming. Living easy.
When I saw the stone tablet mural from Josha I was convinced there was a large city in the Depths!
RIGHT!? The Depths should have had some sort of settlement!
I'd love to see the Great Plateau rebuilt. It would look awesome. A newly restored Temple of Time. That would look great. Also Hyrule Castle Town being rebuilt.
If castle town isnt up and runnin in the next game ima riot.
THIS! It has to right!?
5:19 The OG Sages must have also had some hand in it because otherwise, How would the Architects have known of their powers and how to build the devices that need their specific abilities to open?
I love videos like this, thanks
Thanks!
Tingle jump scared me!😲
Hyrule gamer :
Let's talk about the Tears of the Kingdom world and what it could offer in the near future !
Also Hyrule Game :
Okay first let's talk about TWILIGHT PRINCESS !!
PS: I love your videos, even if TP is your favorite zelda game :P
Gotta get the Twilight Princess rep in there haha
I think Nintendo should of added more towns in tears of the kingdom I hop the next Zelda will have more things added like towns new weapons new enemies ect
Typhlo could have buildings built in the bog just like the fishing village lake town in the hobbit
The Depths deserved at least one proper town to fill out the emptiness, whether it be a Yiga town, or some other subterranean race like the Gorons or Mole people from Skyward Sword.
Once the Purah Pad was Mass Produced, I could see the Great Sky Islands being Settled.
maybe the depths too
Honestly I'd want one more sequel to TOTK but have it be the reverse of breath of the wild. Where civilization has taken back over and there are fewer monsters, maybe monster dens etc. To show the progression from breath where it was basically apocalyptic, tears where it was the recovery, and then the next one where they've brought it back. Since there are less enemies they would have to rebalance the economy system and rework the combat but I would love. One final zelda game in this version of hyrule with THIS Zelda and Link.
11:32 or a lighthouse building for the village chief/mayor
I miss Ordon Village 🥲
Hmmm, if that could be placed on the BotW/TotK map... Well, TP's Faron Bridge and BotW/TotK's Bridge of Hylia would have to be the same bridge (so what seemed like a simple canyon in TP was actually a massive lake), placing Ordon Village... perhaps at the same location as Highland Stable? Also in this analysis, I suppose we'd end up with TP's Forest Temple being the same location as BotW/TotK's Eastern Abbey (aka OoT's Hyrule Castle.)
Of course, map comparisons have their flaws. TP's Zora's Domain and Death Mountain are wrong compared to BotW/TotK. TP's Zora's Domain is directly north of the palace, which would put it around BotW/TotK's Great Hyrule Forest and/or Thyphlo Ruins. And TP's Death Mountain is directly east of the palace, which would put it around BotW/TotK's Zora's Domain. Also, TP's Lake Hylia is placed where BotW/TotK has the Ancient Tree Stump near Mount Daphnes. And TP's Arbiter's Grounds would be somewhere around BotW/TotK's Rayne Highlands / Ancient Columns while TP's scorching Gerudo Desert would be BotW/TotK's frozen Gerudo Highlands. Snowpeak and Hebra are consistent with each other at least.
I did feel like totk wasn’t missing new towns
Hopefully the next Zelda game brings life to a fully populated hyrule non apocalypse for a change
It did make sense for totk considering the switch still struggling to run kakariko again lol 😭 but limitations are a thing of the past comes next gen
For your great plateau what about resettling in the town ruins right next to the plateau
Yeah, I think it makes sense to preserve the Plataue as a heritage site, and house and cater to visitors in Gatepost Town.
The idea for Lake Hylia Town gives me Queensferry vibes, except it's a lake and not the river forth. You could even label it similarly as North Lake Hylia Town and South Lake Hylia Town. No idea where abouts in Scotland you are but I wonder if Queensferry inspired you there.
Unless I'm mistaken it actually wouldn't be a new concept within the Zelda franchise. In AoL, the location it called Saria Town was (if I recall correctly) two towns on opposite sides of a bridge. From what I remember it was three screens to get through. Town -> bridge -> town. It (or one side of it at least) was a rundown monster-infested town that you go through if you want to reach the Death Mountain Area cave network that leads through to the tiny blurb of map tiles tucked into the southwest corner of AoL's map that represent LoZ's entire map.
Deserts being right next to snowy mountains isn't actually that odd. I'm not sure if the transition from one to the other is as clearly defined as in game, but yeah.
New vid, yay!
Resident lookout point you should build a lighthouse the perfect
Great Plateau town would be quite literally the Castle Town from OoT.
I just want a game where theres no ganon yet, we are in a time of peace, no monsters and everything has been rebuilt. I want to run around doing stuff for the settlements. Teaching them how to use the tech from TOTK. Idk. I think it would be fun lol
Plateau Town would make a great university town.
The Akkala Citadel needs rebuilding!
No “grab yourself a snack or drink” in this video?! 😢 (love the channel!)
Cant wait for them to announce they are working on BotW3 It takes place exactly 80 years in the future and the new Link is the grandchild of the late hero of the wild (Ya either state no wife or ya give him many. No betweens will be accepted with this crazy fanbase) Maybe they even improved the overall durability of tools in a way that they dont break every two minutes or something.
I'd like to see a town like Novigrad in The Witcher 3.
I would love Nintendo using this world for some non canon spin offs. A Zelda SimCity would be great !
I wonder if they would ever do a Zelda game but modern high fantasy .. think Final Fantasy style.
We need Mabe Village
That music would go so hard
