If you're unfamiliar with Zelda symbols, you can refer to the legend.

There are changes. The sheikah towers and shrines are gone from what I've seen from Zeltik analysis videos. And there are also glyphs drawn on the ground. There are also places that were either plunged into darkness or full of blight in BOTW that seem to be cleared up in TotK.

Minimap symbols are interesting here...

Dumb question: Do we know how long BotW was in development for?
Aonuma said development on Breath of the Wild began immediately after Skyward Sword was finished, so 2011-2017ish.

Looking back through, Aonuma was being really cheeky with the camera. There's a couple of times in the video that Link is near a blue shrine symbol on the map, but never quuuite looks directly at it - except during the fused-shield exhibition, when the camera swings to an angle that might see it while the puffball smoke cover is obscuring it.


The coordinates on the minimap are also still interesting by implications. They're 4 digit numbers, everything in the video is in the positive range for the X value, negative range for the Y value, and positive range for the Z value. The closest it gets to the 0000 value on X is when Link gets knocked off by the Construct (he hits 0047 during the fall), the closest to 0000 on Y is when Link's demonstrating the Keese-eye arrow fusion (-1013 at one point), and surface level is where 0000 should be (closet Link gets that I noticed is when he hits the river, at 0006 for a moment). There's still a lot of map in all directions to be seen during the fall so I presume everything in the video is in the southeastern quadrant of the map, pressing up on the middle. And, of course, there may be extensive underground/underwater sights if the Z level goes negative.

The island Link uses Recall to reach is about 0500 on the Z axis while the bigger island after that is about 1500 on the Z axis.

nor does he bring up the master sword (?) ability. they could have started the demo toggled to one of the abilities they were going to introduce, but they didn't
Speaking of, AND being cheeky, the OLED model video doesn't show the backs of the joycons except very blurred at one moment. This goes more into spoilers that aren't deliberate from Nintendo presentations, but there's some symbols there.

The left side of the picture is just the Recall symbol, but I don't believe the right side has been spotted yet.
Plus there's this pin that comes with the Collector's Deluxe edition (this one can be seen on the official video for the contents - there's 4 in the box, including that one only partially visible in frame) that doesn't match any symbols seen yet.

Could be tied to more abilities, as well.

I've never heard any portmanteau in any kind of frequent use but I did often hear BotW described in other places as "Zelda Skyrim" for a while after it came out.
Often with the Todd Howard meme of "See that mountain? You can climb it."

The 11th hour reveal will be that you've been playing as Ganondorf for all of Tears of the Kingdom.
The 12th hour reveal will be that Zelda is also Ganondorf.

This has happened to me twice, with the guardian close to the Wasteland Tower and the one by the Shoqa Tatone shrine. I shot one bomb arrow at both of them and banished them to the shadow realm.
Guardians just have a "gently caress this poo poo I'm outta here" subroutine, it seems.

Not that I think anybody here seriously thought that but I did see some handwringing elsewhere on only being able to do super-makeshift branch-rock stuff early on, despite all the suspiciously-bladed horns on all the enemies. So there's less than zero doubt about it now.

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?

Not sure what's going on in this scene, but I'm assuming this is Zelda meeting Dorf at some point. Maybe in a flashback?



The emblem and robe look somewhat familiar.....!
Actually, I think it's probably this character, or someone related to it. Which doesn't necessarily rule out Ganondorf in some fashion, mind.
Check the necklace pattern. Also if that's white hair peeking out behind it could be like, really long hair, too, and it'd match the white with gold highlights.

This one's a lot more string and corkboard but perhaps Zelda's location in the last scene?

The horizon looks like open sea and no prominent mountains in sight so off the coast to the south seems? plausible, if she's not just looking out from a cape or is in the sky; terrestrial just came to mind first since the trees didn't look quite as bright as the yellow ones we've been told are mostly to be found on the sky islands. But it could be a trick of the rendering distance.

There's a small leak (it's for a US video ad for TotK) that shows a few extra scenes that we haven't seen yet.
The 3-headed dragon is explicitly Gleeok, as Link's fighting a Flame Gleeok in the spot, the dark underground scene shows a Z coordinate of -470 so we do seem to go fairly deep and also can light up the way with arrow fusions?, and Link's seen sporting that wild long hair with the Champion's Tunic.
