To this day (August 27, 2019), I’m still convinced this is one of the greatest trailers in all of gaming history and that the music behind it is one of the true masterpieces of composition that will stand the test of time.
My heart breaks knowing we won’t have another open world series for another how many years.. trust me, I know we just got TOTK however it saddens me to know it takes so long. Masterpieces take time, I must have patience.
I don’t mind, it gives me time to grow with the games - to truly experience them as a chapter of my life - it enhances the nostalgia factor a lot down the line. Edit: this is just the bright side of it, but I get what you mean
bro breath of the wild is the best graphics game ive played and its 3 years ago. 2020 needs to step up and not let a game from 3 years ago downgrade them
I got it at launch but got sidetracked after 40 some hours and no divine beasts. Finally got back into it in March of this year and now I've played another 65 hours since. One divine beast done and 3 to go, but first the Master Sword is calling to me. I can't put it down.
@@HarmonicWave epic, it took me 4 whole days to complete the first one (Ruta) and 2 to complete ravioli's, all went uphill from there, completed Ganon and, you know, still exploring Hyrule, and trust me, it will make a part in your heart for it.
@@sushi287it only managed to beat it in gameplay, but the first impression was better for Botw. Only new main Zelda game on switch 2 will be able to top Botw hype.
This game is one of the only ones that has made me so annoyed that I can’t relive the experience of playing this for the first time. It was absolutely phenomenal. I love this game to pieces.
Let's hope that BOTW 2 can deliver a similar experience, because experiencing BOTW for the first time was one of the most memorable moment of the last decade.
@Jake the Astronaut it really isnt as bad as people say lmao, to be fair, its extremely fun when playing with friends, but, since it lacks a proper single player mode, it feels lackluster when playing alone.
Amazing, absolutely. BotW turned out to be my favorite game in the past 10 years at least. Exactly as amazing as the trailer, though? I disagree. This particular trailer hyped up a story that was barely present (12 memories in the base game that didn't even add up to 30 minutes in total), and what little story there was didn't really feel tied to the world as a whole. Even ignoring all the requisite plot beats you'd expect from a Zelda game (Link's origins/family, how he got the Master Sword, etc.), they threw in an entire "rusted Master Sword" mystery that wasn't even referenced in the game itself. So while it definitely deserved its title as GOTY 2017, there were parts of the game that underdelivered.
@@jackconroy7122 they went minimalistic with the story on purpose so you didn’t feel obligated to save the world when you could be exploring. Look at it this way: the story is optional, but the exploration is mandatory.
So many people have been saying “Breath of the Wild is no longer good with Tears of the Kingdom being out.” But I love both of these games equally. Because despite all of the awesome additions to Tears of the Kingdom, playing Breath of the Wild will still be one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.
@@a_plastic_bag totk feels oversaturated to me. like a roided up version of botw. an idealized version. it doesn't feel right. But I still love the game.
@@gamerdog2781 I didn't. And even though he wants to "praise" botw-, that's not the way to do it. videogame has become a laughable term about gambling and other microtransactions, and buggy, boring and restricted gameplay, that only focuses on graphics and story. And you know what? I love nintendo for just releasing videogames. i love them for never sacrifycing anything for the sake or "art".
It is absolutely insane that almost 8 whole years later Breath of the Wild sold MORE units than VIEWS ON THE TRAILER. Not likes or comments, just views of a 4 minute video. This video has 30.8 million views, while the game sold 32.3 million copies. This game left an incredible legacy.
I bought my Nintendo Switch when the pandemic started and this was the first game I played. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I had not watched this trailer yet, I went to it completely blind. Watching this now, it brings tears to my eyes. I just wish I could play it like then, what an absolute masterpiece.
Same experience here, never played any zelda game before and playing this game all day throughout the pandemic was truly an amazing experience. Hoping i could relive it again with the sequel
@Taelin Cusic wait how do you know he only played in the car did he tell you?? but like, wow you're in so much luck, and i'm really glad you enjoy the game :) i recommend ocarina of time next !
It's been almost five years... and this still makes me tear up. No trailer has gotten me as hyped for a game as this one did, and the game didn't disappoint me at all. A masterpiece.
I just beat it again and I’m not gonna lie I tear up a bit thinking back to how hyped I was and now with botw 2 having been announced I’m hyped all over again
I just beat it again and I’m not gonna lie I tear up a bit thinking back to how hyped I was and now with botw 2 having been announced I’m hyped all over again
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that 3 years ago, Nintendo created one of the greatest video game trailers for one of the greatest video games of all time, a trailer that still gives me chills everytime I watch it
Seriously. Whenever I get down about the video game industry now I just think about BotW. It only takes one amazing game to bring years of joy. Thank you Nintendo!
yeah, this is probably the 2nd best game out right now, and there are a lot, fortnite is a good idea, but a bad community, terraria isn't too popular, among us is probably 3rd, minecraft is probably 1st, and roblox is probably like, 8th
TOTK may have topped BOTW in gameplay, but none of its trailers, even with the epic saxophone, even came close to this masterpiece. Goosebumps every time.
I’m at a point where I don’t really think of these two as separate games. Totk is a continuation more than a sequel. Imagine if they were one game back to back.
Yep I agree imo it still beats the final trailer of totk don't get me wrong the totk final trailer was amazing but something about the botw presentation trailer just hits different it's still a masterpiece of a trailer to this day and still get chills from it
@@outrightflame4280 the totk trailer felt like they were showing so much stuff that ur head was gonna explode which i rlly liked but botw was better paced
Had to come back and see this again after putting 100 hours (so far) into Tears of The Kingdom. This trailer left me absolutely speechless back then and still leaves me speechless today. Man, I love the Zelda series so much.
Me before playing botw: meh it's probably overrated I mean it looks alright but I'm not really much of a legend of Zelda fan Me after playing: this is now my favourite game of all time
Scalebound looked much better graphically than this crappy Nintendogs Zelda game for kiddies. If you want real challenges and problem solving then you need to get your hands on a PS4. The Nintendogs Switch is for those who have just begun puberty. There are so many better and more mature rpgs on the market than this sad excuse of a Zelda game.
Jack Tyler Haha Here We Have A Sonyer That Only Look the graphics, pls don't be ignorant, these games are masterpieces, I know you're angry because Nintendo Switch will be a good console, and it will success! !!!! Nintendo is the King!
I was 32, and wasn’t a fans of Zelda until I met Breath of the wild. The experience is superb, amazing. And will never gets old watching this. Thank you Nintendo, this is quite a trip. And now, I am playing the Tears of the Kingdom.
Best. Trailer. Ever. Shows scenes from nearly every part of the game without any spoilers and with a constant, but subtle climax in pictures, music, editing and emotions.
@@NothingToPostHereJustWatching YES THIS IS A BIG DEAL FOR ME!! It gets me mad when they put really really nice graphics and it’s just like “lol no” and the graphics ends up terrible
This trailer is, no joke, a masterpiece and a legend on its own. The music, the choice of footage they used, all of it perfectly strikes my heart every time and I come back to this trailer every time I'm feeling down... And it still makes my eyes tear up after almost two years. Congrats, Nintendo. You've made a true legend.
Was thinking the same thing. It's funny how it's just a trailer for the game itself. And while it's not a perfect game, the trailer makes me come back to the game over and over
Seriously. At 2:50 when the main Zelda theme finally kicks in, it just makes my heart swell. Nintendo really should have released this track as a standalone piece of music, it's worthy of that.
@@peterlionhead6519 Omg, have fun my friend. :) Loads of people would love to go back and re-feel what we felt the very first time we played BOTW! Hope you're having fun. :)
I remember having an obsession with this game in 2018 and trying so desperatly to get a nintendo switch from my parents After being promised to one, I used to watch this trailer every single day until the great day. Watching it by night just before sleeping so I could dream of this piece of art I used to watch nintendo switch unboxing videos just to imagine how it would fit in my hands and I tried my best not to watch let's plays of the game because I really wanted to discover everything by myself For months I've been craving to finally hold a Nintendo switch I imagined myself playing so many times, I imagined where I could put the switch in my room but no matter where it could have been, as long as the console and the game were there, my room would have been the most beautiful place in the world And finally one day, the console had been bought I was holding the box so tightly on the way home I remember the unboxing I remember holding the joycons I remember turning on the screen, And of course, I remember finally playing BOTW I remember being even more obsessed with the game as long as I was discovering Hyrule with Link I remember the quests, the characters, the villages, the beautiful views, I was just so excited after seeing how the water looked in this game, I was amazed, that's the word, BOTW amazed me all along And then I remember beating Ganon and starring at my screen, crying over the end of this journey These memories are precious, I would love to forget the game so I could play it for the first time again but at the same time, I would never ever want to lose these beautiful memories, all the things I felt from the beginning So I just get back here every year and enjoy these old memories They're getting a little more bittersweet every year but I'm also getting a little more emotional as time flies No one could ever convince me that there's an even better game than Breath of the wild, it will forever be my favourite
It's so sad that there are people who think this beautiful game is "oversaturated." People are so used to washed-out, boring art direction that any use of vivid colors looks oversaturated. The real world is much brighter and more colorful than most modern "AAA" titles.
That reflects the utilitarian nature of the modern corporate world, where it is expected that you conform to the social standards of society. (Although I think the grass is _slightly_ saturated. But I can just alter that on my monitor when I'm playing anyway)
InfernalMudkip what are you, 12? that wasn't "cringe" at all, tf are you talking about?? not to mention you unironically used the phrase "godly levels of cringe" grow up.
winslo o Well that's just not true. I have played other games on other platforms, including 'realistic' looking games, like Skyrim. While it's by no means a bad looking game, I find a lot of the world to be quite drab.
The comment is cringeworthy because Pookz has an extremely black-and-white mindset. He doesn't understand that the people complaining about the over-saturation of colors have a perfectly valid point and immediately assumes that they're just mindless Cowadooty kids who hate anything that's not AAA enough.
OzzieBloke i feel really bad saying this but well... Here I go... The the first and only zelda game i played was phantom hourglass and i never got to complete >_< (god i feel like a monster) although i still have it so i can continue... BUT this is my chance to play a zelda game like never before... TRIFORCE, HERE I COME!!!!!!!!
5 years later and probably the greatest video game trailer of all time. Simply hits on such an emotional level and like all great stories, has a 3 act structure that emotes adventure, a sense of doom and despair, followed by hope. Truly amazing.
I can't believe how under-rated the soundtrack is for a game as big as this, Just because there's no overworld theme doesn't mean there's no soundtrack, Get the CD or go online and find it and just listen to the soundtrack on some quality speakers or headphones, It is incredible, Even this trailer song is amazing.
@@firebal6129 Same dude, I got the 5 disc CD and the "bonus" song (the trailer theme) is probably the one I've listened to most and it never gets old, It just does everything right just like the game, I really can't wait to hear what the sequel's soundtrack is like.
The music in this game is sublime. Perfect for a game this size. I think they knew people would play for hours and if there was a constant stream of music it could become tiresome. I love the balance of ambient music with the sounds of nature and how they blend seamlessly. The whole soundtrack is artfully composed & arranged. It's just brilliant. A triumph, just like the game!!
On the topic of Zelda soundtracks, the one in Skyward Sword is awesome. The game isn't as good as this one, and is lacking in some areas that games before it had, but the soundtrack is great, with a bit more flair of "epic to be remembered for all time," the characters are engaging, and some of the mechanics it introduces (e.g.: timeshift stones) are really fun to play with. Definitely one of my favorite games.
Sometimes, i just find my self muttering to myself "The history of the royal family of Hyrule is also the history of the Calamity Ganon, a primal evil that has endured over the ages". Needless to say this trailer lives rent free in my head after all these years
This is the best trailer ever made for any game.... It's five years old just now, and it's the only trailer i can watch again and again without getting tired... Thank you Nintendo for giving us such a great game.
Ive never even heard of the zelda series until after 2017 and ppl were so hyped about it being such a great game or GOTY that I had to try it. Now here i am, an avid fan of the zelda lore and excitedly waiting for the next sequel
@@honeybell4403 Unfortunately, I don't think it will be the same feeling, even though, perhaps, the sequel is better. Because we already know Hyrule, the gameplay, etc... Breath of The Wild 1 was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
@@superpredat0r125 Yeah the same when you play majoras mask after ocarina of time. It is still very good but it won't reach the hights of the first one.
Bill Cipher Ha, quite possibly. I'm glad that Nintendo have been so ambitious with this title. However, The Witcher would be very difficult to top in terms of full, overall production. I'm also aware that I am taking the comment far too seriously, haha.
I am curious if there will be any side missions and such in this game though. I think the quality writing and good side missions in the Witcher 3 could keep it above Zelda. If Breath of the Wild has just that typical main quest with several amount of dungeons to clear and few mini games, I don't think it would top Witcher 3, which raised the standards of open world games pretty damn high. Visually you can't really compare them. Both look really nice.
Timothy Greeley The game is pretty much as perfect as it can be and it still doesn't live up to this trailer. It is one of, if not, the best trailer I have ever seen.
Well...It's not perfect. There's no such thing as a perfect game. There are some nitpicks and the story is pretty weak but other than that it's really damn good.
MrMyriad and I like the story because it's different from other Zelda games and the difference is that in BotW has more focus on Zelda than other games
@@elmatilda If they port the older 3d Zelda games to Switch, consider playing them, they are timeless masterpieces, each and every one of them. They aren't open world the way BOTW is, but the Dungeons are much grander in scale.
This is all I played for 7 months. I can't remember what my expectations were going into this but it definitely didn't meet any of them - it blew them out of the water. I finally 100% the game on normal mode, and have logged 185 hours so far. Next year I'm going to play it all again on Master Mode. Thank you for making such an amazing singleplayer game, Nintendo.
Echocookie lol im at 190 now and have only collected 200 koroks or something on normal. Im currently playing master mode and only have done 2 devine beasts. If you make a game where you can fill 190 hrs that easilly, you know you did well.
agreed. don't understand the criticisms of this game at all. there are minor nuisances in the game, yes, but overall, it's a masterful piece of game design.
It's crazy to think how this insanely epic music was not used in-game but only for this trailer, making it so legendary. This music gives me so much goosebumps every time. I come back here to feel something in fact.
I know right… it just shows how much effort was put in this game… and it can honestly reflect on why it’s so good.. this may be my favourite game of all time..
Happy this got recommended to me after re-watching the new Age of Calamity trailer today! This is still one of my favorite trailers that Nintendo's ever made.
Watch this at least once a year and still to this day makes me tear up every time I watch it. BOTW is easily in my top 3 favorite games of all time. I love this trailer so much.
Breath of the wild was released around the same time my family began to fall apart. By playing this masterpiece, I was able to escape from reality and finally enjoy myself. I’ve noticed myself looking at the little details in life ever since I first played this, and I want others to have this experience too. Breath of the wild was an absolute masterpiece, and I’m hoping the sequel will be the same.
The day this came out I picked up my Switch and this game from the store after work, then I went to the hospital and picked up my wife who was severely mentally ill at the time. I wanted her at home because the next day was my birthday, and she was the one who convinced me to open the Switch and enjoy this game instead of selling it all on ebay like I had planned. She had good days and bad days and was in and out of the hospital for several months before she was significantly better, one of the hardest times of my life and our life together. Having a portable game system with a game like this really helped me to relax, and I could be with her in whatever room she felt most comfortable in (which changed often).
Honestly I don't think it'll ever be quite the same. Using the same engine means the surprise factor is gone. It'll still be cool but I think that 2017 moment won't be matched. I'd love to be wrong though.
@John Doe True, but on the other hand, the new game seems to be darker and have more story aspects, so they have more areas to explore there. As long as the music matches the one from this trailer, it will be extraordinary.
Just watched the last nintendo direct, and i had to come back here. 5 years, 5 long years hace passed, and this game, it's concept, it's music, it's spirit, still brings an unmeasurable amount of joy to my heart This is truly a masterpiece
I am doing the same thing! I just saw the trailer reveal for the BoTW subtitle and then I told myself, "I have to go back and watch the 2017 trailers again!"
It truly is! 😁 Maybe they will make a final trailer with a epic song like this one for The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom! I can't even find who made this song 👀 it must be Legend!!!
I love this game I’m so hyped for tears of the kingdom i still haven’t finished botw only 80 hours in and done over 60 shrines two divine beasts and still got plenty to go got the dlc to
The best trailer in the history of video games. In just 4 minutes they are able to teach you the mechanics, premise, environment, climax, etc accompanied by a sick soundtrack. A Nintendo masterclass; sell what actually appears in the trailer, something that is greatly needed today.
I still think this is the greatest trailer to have ever exist, the way everything was done about this trailer showed just how incredible the game ended up being
I've never played any Legend of Zelda game or owned a Nintendo console, but this trailer alone made me decide to buy the Switch, just to play this game.
Eo is right! Nintendo is making the best 1st party games anyone can dream about! It would not surprise me if most of the games I own are from Nintendo!
you won't be disappointed every nintendo console even the Wii U has appeal and some great games I was going to get it on sale but I got an Ipad instead a few years ago I regret it I'm sure not to make the mistake of missing out on nintendo this time my pre order for the console and breath of the wild is in
I've seen videos where link wears a full set of armor so I'm pretty sure there's gonna be some different clothing in it maybe his hat and green suit as well
I come back to it only to start crying every time Zelda says “Everything we’ve done, it was all for nothing” especially after knowing the fate of the champions, hits me hard.
Amber Ledbetter Allow me to rephrase that. My most up to date Nintendo system is a DS emulator on my cell phone. I would by a Wii U, but it'd only be for 3 games, 2 of which have Switched over to a much better console. The 3rd game is Smash Bros. I want a Switch for my 18th birthday (in 10 days), but if not, I'm saving up. I WILL HAVE A NINTENDO SWITCH NO LATER THAN SUMMER! I WILL PLAY AMRS! I WILL PLAY SPLATOON 2! I WILL PLAY SUPER MARIO ODYSSEY!! I WILL PLAY THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: BREATH OF THE WILD!!!
Amber Ledbetter A. When I own a console, I want to have at least 10 games in mind I want to play. The Wii U only has 4 for me. Breath of the Wild, Smash Bros, Mario Kart 8 and Hyrule Warriors. All of those but Smash are also on the Switch.

Two years later, this isn’t a game. This is a work of art.
No. This is a Videogame.
And I am very glad Nintendo creates those. And not the trashy "interactive Movies" that Sony and the PC mostly releases.
@@viciouspink6247 I think you misunderstood him..
@@gamerdog2781 I didn't.
And even though he wants to "praise" botw-, that's not the way to do it.
videogame has become a laughable term about gambling and other microtransactions, and buggy, boring and restricted gameplay, that only focuses on graphics and story.
And you know what? I love nintendo for just releasing videogames. i love them for never sacrifycing anything for the sake or "art".
Vicious Pink lol sounds like you hate art
But your right
It is absolutely insane that almost 8 whole years later Breath of the Wild sold MORE units than VIEWS ON THE TRAILER. Not likes or comments, just views of a 4 minute video. This video has 30.8 million views, while the game sold 32.3 million copies. This game left an incredible legacy.
Amazing!
It's Japanese people's credit where they aren't much interested in PC and Xbox but much more interested in their own domestic broducts
I bought my Nintendo Switch when the pandemic started and this was the first game I played. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I had not watched this trailer yet, I went to it completely blind. Watching this now, it brings tears to my eyes. I just wish I could play it like then, what an absolute masterpiece.
Same experience here, never played any zelda game before and playing this game all day throughout the pandemic was truly an amazing experience. Hoping i could relive it again with the sequel
@Taelin Cusic YOU GOT IT FOR FREE???? you are SO lucky.
@Taelin Cusic wait how do you know he only played in the car did he tell you?? but like, wow you're in so much luck, and i'm really glad you enjoy the game :) i recommend ocarina of time next !
@Taelin Cusic yeah, but you can also play the 3ds remake :)
@Taelin Cusic same ! mine is mario luigi dream team limited edition, it's pretty neat :]
its 2021 and this trailer still gives everyone chills
same. I love the legend of Zelda

It's been almost five years... and this still makes me tear up. No trailer has gotten me as hyped for a game as this one did, and the game didn't disappoint me at all. A masterpiece.
Me too, it is just so impressive. Truly a masterpiece

best trailer not just in videogames.. ever!
is up there for sure, my 1 spot as well
Agreed
I don’t even like Zelda that much and I agree lol
You know you made a awesome trailer when you revisit it after the game is out
it is the only game till now that i have had so much interest in
NSan exactly XD
I STILL get goosebumps every time I watch it!
I've got it and I'm still watching the trailer lol - they managed to not lie at all about the visuals and content.
Im revisiting after beating the story mode and nearly 100%ing the game (damn korok seeds)
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that 3 years ago, Nintendo created one of the greatest video game trailers for one of the greatest video games of all time, a trailer that still gives me chills everytime I watch it
There is so much in this trailer. And it’s only the tip of the iceberg.
Seriously. Whenever I get down about the video game industry now I just think about BotW. It only takes one amazing game to bring years of joy. Thank you Nintendo!
yeah, this is probably the 2nd best game out right now, and there are a lot, fortnite is a good idea, but a bad community, terraria isn't too popular, among us is probably 3rd, minecraft is probably 1st, and roblox is probably like, 8th
and now it's a trilogy. look how far they've come
So true. This game is so ahead of its time for the gameplay and quantity and quality of everything.
« The sequel of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is now in development »
The hype is killing me.
i’m actually dying
It’s gonna be awesome no matter what!(for me)
🤗🤗🤗
@PERFECT CHAOS no
TOTK may have topped BOTW in gameplay, but none of its trailers, even with the epic saxophone, even came close to this masterpiece. Goosebumps every time.
sadly it hasn't topped BOTW, was almost impossible tho
@@Pau31076 yes, it has its literally just botw but better
I’m at a point where I don’t really think of these two as separate games. Totk is a continuation more than a sequel. Imagine if they were one game back to back.

Time flies!
This is literally one of the greatest trailers of all time (including movie, TV and video game trailers)
Facts. I've never seen a entertainment product ever presented better than this one. Ever.
This made me tear a little even tho this was like 2 years ago and finished the game
It's not one of the greatest. It is the greatest.
I would agree but then I saw the godzilla trailer
No argument with that man
6 years later, 1 week for Tears of the Kingdom and this is still my absolute favorite trailer of all time. What a masterpiece.
Yep I agree imo it still beats the final trailer of totk don't get me wrong the totk final trailer was amazing but something about the botw presentation trailer just hits different it's still a masterpiece of a trailer to this day and still get chills from it
@@outrightflame4280 the totk trailer felt like they were showing so much stuff that ur head was gonna explode which i rlly liked but botw was better paced

Much much better music in this one
Had to come back and see this again after putting 100 hours (so far) into Tears of The Kingdom. This trailer left me absolutely speechless back then and still leaves me speechless today.
Man, I love the Zelda series so much.
they sure know how to make a trailer
An ordinary game would have crashed and burned due to the hype from this trailer, But Breath of the Wild is no ordinary game.

@Jesse Woah hey man, it's not his fault, trailer's so good it gave him a seizure.
So true
Underrated comment
The fact that most of us have already beaten the game and we still come back to this is a proof that this is one of the best video games of all time
I keep going back to beat it again, I’ve beat it twice standard and 100% on master mode.
@@cozi9996 is there a checklist you can follow for 100%
Fact!!
the fact that im actually crying watching zelda cause i love the history
I’ve beaten the game like 20 times Ganon is too easy I hope ganondorf is a real challenge
When I showed this to my grandpa he thought it was a movie.
Lmao what was his reaction
Then show him uncharted 4 trailer
Yeah my Grandpa thought Wipeout 2010 was cutting edge graphics
Yeah thought it too
My grandpa thought the Calamity Ganon was the devil coming out of the TV.
Sometimes I come back to this trailer just to feel something again.
same here mate, same here ;)
One of the Best games ever crafted ... This game ruined 90% of most games for me... It feels like the games after BOTW are missing, say a soul
have you tried Hollow Knight?
Same, but here are some games that i liked as much as BOTW.
Witcher 3
Skyrim
RDR2
AC Origins
Skyrim was literally unplayable after playing this
funny, after playing botw i actually scared myself thinking will i ever be able to enjoy any other video game again after playing botw
I felt the same way about BOTW
Me before playing botw: meh it's probably overrated I mean it looks alright but I'm not really much of a legend of Zelda fan
Me after playing: this is now my favourite game of all time
Good man!
Ya know, I'm not even exaggerating but this is definitely my favorite game of all time
It was exactly the same with me
Nice!! I hope you enjoy the sequel
Same🥺🤧
Trailer of all time
TheLonelyGoomba yep
TheLonelyGoomba
Definitely agreeing though!

Scalebound looked much better graphically than this crappy Nintendogs Zelda game for kiddies. If you want real challenges and problem solving then you need to get your hands on a PS4. The Nintendogs Switch is for those who have just begun puberty. There are so many better and more mature rpgs on the market than this sad excuse of a Zelda game.
Jack Tyler Haha Here We Have A Sonyer That Only Look the graphics, pls don't be ignorant, these games are masterpieces, I know you're angry because Nintendo Switch will be a good console, and it will success! !!!!
Nintendo is the King!
I was 32, and wasn’t a fans of Zelda until I met Breath of the wild. The experience is superb, amazing. And will never gets old watching this. Thank you Nintendo, this is quite a trip. And now, I am playing the Tears of the Kingdom.
Oh my goodness me too!
Best. Trailer. Ever.
Shows scenes from nearly every part of the game without any spoilers and with a constant, but subtle climax in pictures, music, editing and emotions.
And doesn’t lie about the graphics
@@NothingToPostHereJustWatching YES THIS IS A BIG DEAL FOR ME!! It gets me mad when they put really really nice graphics and it’s just like “lol no” and the graphics ends up terrible
Agreed
This trailer is, no joke, a masterpiece and a legend on its own. The music, the choice of footage they used, all of it perfectly strikes my heart every time and I come back to this trailer every time I'm feeling down... And it still makes my eyes tear up after almost two years. Congrats, Nintendo. You've made a true legend.
200% Agreed
Was thinking the same thing. It's funny how it's just a trailer for the game itself. And while it's not a perfect game, the trailer makes me come back to the game over and over
Joshua Olewnik
Same
Seriously. At 2:50 when the main Zelda theme finally kicks in, it just makes my heart swell. Nintendo really should have released this track as a standalone piece of music, it's worthy of that.
Every single time they show Link I get the chills and can't help but think "you have great hair, my child" lol
Nintendo: *drops botw2 trailer*
Me: I think I am now ready, ready to feel what happened 2 years ago
Trailer : that look on your face tells me that you kept all recollections of me, however.
Huh more like 200 years ago, am I right millenials
Anyone
I got the game last week.. guess I'm late to the party
@@peterlionhead6519 Omg, have fun my friend. :) Loads of people would love to go back and re-feel what we felt the very first time we played BOTW!
Hope you're having fun. :)
I remember having an obsession with this game in 2018 and trying so desperatly to get a nintendo switch from my parents
After being promised to one, I used to watch this trailer every single day until the great day.
Watching it by night just before sleeping so I could dream of this piece of art
I used to watch nintendo switch unboxing videos just to imagine how it would fit in my hands and I tried my best not to watch let's plays of the game because I really wanted to discover everything by myself
For months I've been craving to finally hold a Nintendo switch
I imagined myself playing so many times, I imagined where I could put the switch in my room but no matter where it could have been, as long as the console and the game were there, my room would have been the most beautiful place in the world
And finally one day, the console had been bought
I was holding the box so tightly on the way home
I remember the unboxing
I remember holding the joycons
I remember turning on the screen,
And of course, I remember finally playing BOTW
I remember being even more obsessed with the game as long as I was discovering Hyrule with Link
I remember the quests, the characters, the villages, the beautiful views, I was just so excited after seeing how the water looked in this game, I was amazed, that's the word, BOTW amazed me all along
And then I remember beating Ganon and starring at my screen, crying over the end of this journey
These memories are precious, I would love to forget the game so I could play it for the first time again but at the same time, I would never ever want to lose these beautiful memories, all the things I felt from the beginning
So I just get back here every year and enjoy these old memories
They're getting a little more bittersweet every year but I'm also getting a little more emotional as time flies
No one could ever convince me that there's an even better game than Breath of the wild, it will forever be my favourite
THIS JUST TURNED 4 YEARS OLD
HELP I FEEL OLD
OLDDDDDD JAJAJAJAJAJA
@大きなラクダのペニス I was playing portal 2 ! Really man! This feeling of getting old is frightening.
It turns 4 next month
Is the most beautiful trailer I’ve ever seen in my life
I hope that BOTW 2 gets a full-fledged trailer as good as this one.
Probs will closer to release
it sure will
Absolutly
It will. The tasers so far have been insane. We're probably going to get something like this as we get closer to release.

Nintendos back baby
When did they leave?
Noctis Lucis Caelum in 2006
Bob Tomato You won the internet today
They never left.
Yes they did
Even after TOTK, this still hits hard
It's so sad that there are people who think this beautiful game is "oversaturated." People are so used to washed-out, boring art direction that any use of vivid colors looks oversaturated. The real world is much brighter and more colorful than most modern "AAA" titles.
That reflects the utilitarian nature of the modern corporate world, where it is expected that you conform to the social standards of society. (Although I think the grass is _slightly_ saturated. But I can just alter that on my monitor when I'm playing anyway)
InfernalMudkip +1
InfernalMudkip what are you, 12? that wasn't "cringe" at all, tf are you talking about?? not to mention you unironically used the phrase "godly levels of cringe"
grow up.
winslo o Well that's just not true. I have played other games on other platforms, including 'realistic' looking games, like Skyrim. While it's by no means a bad looking game, I find a lot of the world to be quite drab.
The comment is cringeworthy because Pookz has an extremely black-and-white mindset. He doesn't understand that the people complaining about the over-saturation of colors have a perfectly valid point and immediately assumes that they're just mindless Cowadooty kids who hate anything that's not AAA enough.
As someone who has never owned a Nintendo system, and has never played a Zelda game of any sort... this might just be enough to make me buy a Switch.
OzzieBloke do it bro! This Game looks awesome! Also súper Mario oddisey looks increíble!

@@welcometobangkok8220 give me one more example buddy
5 years later and probably the greatest video game trailer of all time. Simply hits on such an emotional level and like all great stories, has a 3 act structure that emotes adventure, a sense of doom and despair, followed by hope. Truly amazing.
something tells me you enjoy an occasional banana...
@@NoMoeMistaNiceGuy good thing or not?
NOW THIS HITS DIFFERENT
you know a game is good when people start praising it for elements that it wasn't known to be good at.
Wtf is this dude talking about . There was no “ 3 act structure “ 😂
I can't believe how under-rated the soundtrack is for a game as big as this, Just because there's no overworld theme doesn't mean there's no soundtrack, Get the CD or go online and find it and just listen to the soundtrack on some quality speakers or headphones, It is incredible, Even this trailer song is amazing.
I totally agree! Although I’d say this trailer song is one of the greatest pieces of music I’ve listened to ever
@@firebal6129 Same dude, I got the 5 disc CD and the "bonus" song (the trailer theme) is probably the one I've listened to most and it never gets old, It just does everything right just like the game, I really can't wait to hear what the sequel's soundtrack is like.
I love the official soundtrack so much. This track in particular without video compression is absolutely incredible.
The music in this game is sublime. Perfect for a game this size. I think they knew people would play for hours and if there was a constant stream of music it could become tiresome. I love the balance of ambient music with the sounds of nature and how they blend seamlessly. The whole soundtrack is artfully composed & arranged. It's just brilliant. A triumph, just like the game!!
On the topic of Zelda soundtracks, the one in Skyward Sword is awesome. The game isn't as good as this one, and is lacking in some areas that games before it had, but the soundtrack is great, with a bit more flair of "epic to be remembered for all time," the characters are engaging, and some of the mechanics it introduces (e.g.: timeshift stones) are really fun to play with. Definitely one of my favorite games.
Sometimes, i just find my self muttering to myself "The history of the royal family of Hyrule is also the history of the Calamity Ganon, a primal evil that has endured over the ages". Needless to say this trailer lives rent free in my head after all these years
Sony: The Last of Us Part II is announced

I think he's referring to scalebound
Scalebound was cancelled for technical reasons though. They couldn't get the concept of the game to run on the Xbox
Argenis it was also cancelled because microsoft and platinum games didn't agree on a few things

Nintendo: "Hold my beer..."
Nintendo: "oh you sure? can you shield surf in TW3?"
Naiko You can cardboard surf in MGSV, but MGSV sucked.
sry but i don't think this will top the witcher 3. don't hate pls, this will be an amazing game nonetheless
Bill Cipher Ha, quite possibly. I'm glad that Nintendo have been so ambitious with this title. However, The Witcher would be very difficult to top in terms of full, overall production. I'm also aware that I am taking the comment far too seriously, haha.
I am curious if there will be any side missions and such in this game though. I think the quality writing and good side missions in the Witcher 3 could keep it above Zelda. If Breath of the Wild has just that typical main quest with several amount of dungeons to clear and few mini games, I don't think it would top Witcher 3, which raised the standards of open world games pretty damn high.
Visually you can't really compare them. Both look really nice.

Timothy Greeley yep without a doubt!
Well...It's not perfect. There's no such thing as a perfect game. There are some nitpicks and the story is pretty weak but other than that it's really damn good.
MrMyriad you know that's this game is focused on exploring not story and they are going to release a new story on a DLC ._.
MrMyriad and I like the story because it's different from other Zelda games and the difference is that in BotW has more focus on Zelda than other games

This is all I played for 7 months. I can't remember what my expectations were going into this but it definitely didn't meet any of them - it blew them out of the water. I finally 100% the game on normal mode, and have logged 185 hours so far. Next year I'm going to play it all again on Master Mode. Thank you for making such an amazing singleplayer game, Nintendo.

agreed. don't understand the criticisms of this game at all. there are minor nuisances in the game, yes, but overall, it's a masterful piece of game design.
Not trying to brag, but I had 200 seeds at 40 hours, that's when i went to look online to see how many there were...
It's crazy to think how this insanely epic music was not used in-game but only for this trailer, making it so legendary. This music gives me so much goosebumps every time. I come back here to feel something in fact.

Breath of the wild was released around the same time my family began to fall apart. By playing this masterpiece, I was able to escape from reality and finally enjoy myself. I’ve noticed myself looking at the little details in life ever since I first played this, and I want others to have this experience too.

The day this came out I picked up my Switch and this game from the store after work, then I went to the hospital and picked up my wife who was severely mentally ill at the time. I wanted her at home because the next day was my birthday, and she was the one who convinced me to open the Switch and enjoy this game instead of selling it all on ebay like I had planned. She had good days and bad days and was in and out of the hospital for several months before she was significantly better, one of the hardest times of my life and our life together. Having a portable game system with a game like this really helped me to relax, and I could be with her in whatever room she felt most comfortable in (which changed often).

I hope the final trailer for Breath of the Wild 2 is just as grand and powerful as this one was. I still get goosebumps watching it.
Honestly I don't think it'll ever be quite the same. Using the same engine means the surprise factor is gone. It'll still be cool but I think that 2017 moment won't be matched. I'd love to be wrong though.
@@Nhnhnfk it’s more so about the music than it is the engine though.
@John Doe True, but on the other hand, the new game seems to be darker and have more story aspects, so they have more areas to explore there. As long as the music matches the one from this trailer, it will be extraordinary.
@@trippleseven37 Big facts, the music is what makes the trailer for me. 2:48 and beyond is when I get goosebumps
@@condor6327 ohh myy , 2:48 goosebumps.. the music... the bokoblin spinning the sword on the horse...
Just watched the last nintendo direct, and i had to come back here.
5 years, 5 long years hace passed, and this game, it's concept, it's music, it's spirit, still brings an unmeasurable amount of joy to my heart
This is truly a masterpiece
I am doing the same thing! I just saw the trailer reveal for the BoTW subtitle and then I told myself, "I have to go back and watch the 2017 trailers again!"
It truly is! 😁 Maybe they will make a final trailer with a epic song like this one for The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom!
I can't even find who made this song 👀 it must be Legend!!!
It's great but it's no windwaker And we all know It.
I love this game I’m so hyped for tears of the kingdom i still haven’t finished botw only 80 hours in and done over 60 shrines two divine beasts and still got plenty to go got the dlc to
@@K0rblimey96 cope
The best trailer in the history of video games. In just 4 minutes they are able to teach you the mechanics, premise, environment, climax, etc accompanied by a sick soundtrack. A Nintendo masterclass; sell what actually appears in the trailer, something that is greatly needed today.
One of the most powerful trailers ever
Sorry not now
Please not now
Austin D what?? How is it powerful? It’s basically a game trailer

Matt Green Wow
Do I smell game of the year?
Twilight Wolf gaming I smell it too. I also smelled it when I watched the Splatoon 2 trailer.
I smell it too. more potent than an axe shower.
Twilight Wolf gaming no i think its just the Nintendo game of the year cause tabs is the game of tha year
Twilight Wolf gaming Yes you do
Probably the best game ever made...
I still think this is the greatest trailer to have ever exist, the way everything was done about this trailer showed just how incredible the game ended up being
I've never played any Legend of Zelda game or owned a Nintendo console, but this trailer alone made me decide to buy the Switch, just to play this game.
Yahir Trejo dude just play the other games, they are worth it.
Eo is right! Nintendo is making the best 1st party games anyone can dream about! It would not surprise me if most of the games I own are from Nintendo!
Yahir Trejo you made a good choice
you won't be disappointed every nintendo console even the Wii U has appeal and some great games
I was going to get it on sale but I got an Ipad instead a few years ago I regret it
I'm sure not to make the mistake of missing out on nintendo this time my pre order for the console and breath of the wild is in
Eo - Hi! I like your music a lot!
This game is going to be AWSOME. I kinda miss link's hat though.
maybe they add the hat in the game though idk
i feel like his hat and tunic is going to be an armour set.
I was kind of tired of the old green outfit, to be honest. The new one is better.
i'm sure you get it later in the game. if not i won't be too disappointed but i feel like we'll see it again
I've seen videos where link wears a full set of armor so I'm pretty sure there's gonna be some different clothing in it maybe his hat and green suit as well
Does anyone else have the game but they keep watching the trailer
No I don't have the game but I really like all the champions except Ravioli
@@fluttershygamer3186 u should get the game. It's amazing! In my opinion.
I can't I don't have enough money to and I don't have a Nintendo switch I just watch Zeldamaster do the 100% play through
@@fluttershygamer3186 OK I'm just saying it's a amazing game!
Me me me
Anyone revisiting this masterpeice in 2024?
Here
Here right now….and all in the feels!
... No.
@@Jun123neither
I come back to it only to start crying every time Zelda says “Everything we’ve done, it was all for nothing” especially after knowing the fate of the champions, hits me hard.
You know a trailer Is good when It can hype you almost a year later as much as it did when it came out
I'm one of the people who still don't have a Switch, so you can imagine how much I'm dying over here.
Play on Wii U! That's what I'm currently doing! Found one on Craig's List for cheap, and it was totally worth it!
Amber Ledbetter Allow me to rephrase that. My most up to date Nintendo system is a DS emulator on my cell phone. I would by a Wii U, but it'd only be for 3 games, 2 of which have Switched over to a much better console. The 3rd game is Smash Bros. I want a Switch for my 18th birthday (in 10 days), but if not, I'm saving up. I WILL HAVE A NINTENDO SWITCH NO LATER THAN SUMMER! I WILL PLAY AMRS! I WILL PLAY SPLATOON 2! I WILL PLAY SUPER MARIO ODYSSEY!! I WILL PLAY THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: BREATH OF THE WILD!!!
Sage of Fire, I literally only have the Wii U for Breath of the Wild. I doubt anyone's going to buy me a Switch for my 29th birthday next month. Lol
Amber Ledbetter
A. When I own a console, I want to have at least 10 games in mind I want to play. The Wii U only has 4 for me. Breath of the Wild, Smash Bros, Mario Kart 8 and Hyrule Warriors. All of those but Smash are also on the Switch.
This looks like a freaking movie trailer
The game could end up disappointing but there's no denying that this trailer is amazing.
IMRAGED I doubt it'll be bad tho we know at least it will have Super Fun gameplay if all else fails and from this Trailer the Story looks amazing

Your profile picture is surprisingly fitting for this. XD

Except this trailer doesn't spoil the whole plot like movie trailers.
