That new Ganondorf is loving huge. I can't wait for the second phase of his fight where he tosses the sword away and just beats the poo poo out of you with his bare hands.

If Ganondorf, Warrior grabs and suplexes Link in the final battle this may be the greatest game of all time

Shield surf on the rocket shield for a charge attack.

Fuse a fan with a shield and surf on it to replace Ravioli's Gale.

Looks like Riju got a trim, too, and Sidon's sporting one of the Tears of the Kingdom on that gauntlet. Seems like possibly we're collecting them for our allies?


Tulin has one too

it doesn't really look anything like what we can see of the pit in BoTW

Ah yeah, looking at it again it only matches "circular cave going down into the ground". Maybe it changes as it goes down? I just want it to turn out Kohga's alive down there

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

I’m wondering if there will be time fuckery, like two time periods colliding. In that case maybe Zelda isn’t the same Zelda, she’s a Zelda from the past? Two Zeldas?!

Also Goddess’s tears, Ganondorf looks a lot like Demise, sky islands… this is just Skyward Sword isn’t it?!

I just wonder what the in-game context is gonna be for the scenes with Zelda. In BoTW they used Link's memories for characterizing Zelda but Link's completely absent in those scenes from the trailer.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Don’t think Nintendo will let us de-limb bogoblins with arrows though.

Edit: Link does return-to-sender that big boulder the enemy throws with the power glove’s time rewind, that’s kind of like catching an arrow and shooting it back at some unlucky bastard.

I’m assuming quasi time travel is happening for parts of it. Zelda looks like she’s in the past and Link in the present but there has been a fusion of some of the timeline

and the Zonai constructs are evocative of the Lanayru robots, Zelda's tear tattoos looking like Impa's, and the Master Sword is hosed up and Hylia (Zelda) probably needs to fix it

someone in this topic mentioned awhile back that the funniest outcome to the Zelda timeline would be if BotW is a convergence of the 3 timelines and TotK somehow connects to SS so that it's all just one big circle. I'm hoping for that

The ridiculous, definitely-never-gonna-happen, speculation would be that Zelda gets thrown back in time to the Zonai age, and then you can switch between Link in the present and Zelda exploring the entire map centuries in the past, right?

It would own if there was a secret Dark World or Dark World type in the game, and Zelda is the one that needs to explore it.

idk I'm actually more convinced after that trailer there could be some playable Zelda segments. You might get some challenge sequences with her where she has to explore/solve puzzles/etc. with nothing but the old Sheikah slate.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

I was feeling kinda meh after the abilities preview and this trailer helped me figure out why and got me hyped again. It does an amazing job showing off the scale of everything which is what I responded to in BotW. Abilities are neat and all, but (for me) they're just a means to an end. I want to rub myself all over that game like a cat exploring a new house.

The other trailers were fine, different people want different things and they SHOULD show all that off, this one just feels like it was custom-tailored for me. I thought I'd been losing my sense of joy in my old age.

It's an impossible hope, but the active allies fighting alongside Link make me think they originally wanted to do something like Souls games do where you can do a sort of co-op for certain areas, instead of a Link summon it would be the relevant champion.

Also for sure if there are NPC allies you fight with, Zelda will be a end-game one who just blasts everything with Triforce powers. Maybe some new game+ or something.

Would be interesting how master mode could work, it's sort of a fundamental change to how you manage combat and ally NPCs then need to be able to take commands and be armored/geared/buffed effectively.
