The map being reused is the big reason why this game can be so good - all the fiddly interstitial stuff is done already for most of the worldscape, and they can focus on the new content for the sequel.

lots of comparisons are starting to show up on yt and its clear that they changed a whole of the map anyways, not just big areas.

really hope the underworld is what i think its gonna be tho... considering the sky has its own map too :pray:

I'm excited but still not pre-BOTW excited. I remember when this trailer dropped in 2017
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw47_q9wbBE
...and I immediately preordered a switch and the game right after watching it. I really hope they release a trailer with this level of hype to it and show a bit more about the world and story.

really great trailer, i use to calibrate new screens alot lol.

i'd like to think we're getting one but if we dont get one in the next few weeks i cant see it happening.

when link is falling in sky in the demo, the ascend icon is greyed out but soon as he hits and goes under the water, the icon is green again but when he surfaces it goes gray... could it be... COULD IT BE

proper underwater exploration and you use the ascend to get back to the surface quickly?

there were introduced in BotW, and even then only via item descriptions and area names. We "know" them from their ruins, which are vaguely Mayan in design

Especially talented lore lords spotted things associated with Zonai in the earliest trailers. Otherwise they are a total mystery, other than perhaps being linked to the events of 10,000 years ago given that their ruins are older than the Hylian ones

but 10000 years ago is still after OoT/tp/lttp/loz right? lol.

Speaking of, I just finished watching the latest Zeltik video and he pointed out that the peaceful "Construct Rangers" (a) seem to be sweeping and doing chores, and (b) the "Talk" option appears for a second when Link disembarks from his raft near one before moving away. So you can probably talk to them. What do those little fuckers want? Are they an entire new set of NPCs with weird quests? Or will they all just have a couple of repeating lines of dialogue; kind of like the Yiga clan assassins who ambush you occasionally in Breath of the Wild? poo poo, even if that's all they are, it still implies there'll be some other constructs with a larger presence that they're foreshadowing.

some of them seem to be near cooking pots so i wonder if they are a shop for quick ingredients or something while up in the sky.

You only needed like ~400 Korok seeds to get all the upgrades, they put 900 in the world so that you could reasonably get all the upgrades through regular exploration. That’s why they give you a literal piece of poop for getting them all, because they didn’t expect anyone to meticulously find every one. It was smart.

I got every Korok seed but not until after I got the motorcycle which made it super quick.

i'm wondering if they will let you import the botw save, or read at least so they know you got 900 or something and let you put it on a arrow or some such poo poo. theres gotta be some connection to the save file.

this is uncle at nintendo type of leak but it seems somewhat accurate but its 50/50 at the min (this is about clothes only) but apparently all the botw clothing items are in totk (some of it in the artbook like that early red armour) including all the dlc/amiibo stuff and i wonder if theres some kind of save reading feature for that, that either gives you all the items you had at the start or puts in links house or theyll have you start completely fresh and you find everything again..? gotta be something... gotta be!

iirc in Japan "10,000 years ago" is an expression for "a long-rear end time ago" and not meant to be taken literally

yeah but im uhh talking about hyrule, actually and 10,000 years ago is after oot/tp/lttp, i mean, the zonai had advance tech we can see from the gameplay demo at least, and those murals were zonai in botw. gotta be after oot/tp/lttp that culture rose to high tech power, accessed the sky areas clearly the sacred realm, comeon! look at that old rear end zelda artwork with the bloodmoon and the sky islands :eyepop:

i was asking because i couldnt remember but im wondering if zonai were pre skyward sword now... or something.

In the demo when he goes back to the surface, you can see a giant floating cube. I hope that's a mega labyrinth. Those were neat.

Also, give Link a triple jump!

You see them in earlier trailers and people have pinpointed the locations and it seems like, at least one of them is one of the labyrinths from botw, like the same one lifted up in the sky, might be able to explore more of it now

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.....!

Its not dorf.

(These are actual spoilers but its easy to piece it together from the trailer)its the character whos face we see upclose. The lizard looking one. Its the one whos hand is holding corpse dorf in the first trailer. Presumably its their hand on links holding back the mallice.


This is big art book stuff
I know the characters name from the art book and its an oot character name and its :eyepop: and even more so given the design links back to some botw "characters"

because it sounds cool. There's a huge number of textual connections between games that suggest a chronology well beyond simple retellings. The "it's all a LEGEND" attitude is extremely boring and also just uninformed. Wind Waker and Twilight Princess are mutually exclusive direct sequels to Ocarina of Time. It's how the plots of those games work.

Nah, things were perfectly fine and understood back on the n64 (oot/mm then lttp/la then loz/aol) but lore accurate nutjobs wouldnt shutup and we ended up bad zelda games and 3 dumb timelines that the last game wiped out and now we're back to having good zelda games.

Remember when someone in this thread joked about triangulating Zelda's location based off of the 5 seconds we see of her in the Trailer asking Link to find her
WELL,



lol. Really think its where and not when huh. :smuggo:

Hint, her location there is on the ground with no sky islands where as that location seen with link is in the sky islands and looks older. Theres tons and tons of weird newer looking hyrule locations that look newer than their botw cointer paets too. She ended up in the zonai era i bet and maybe you play as her setting up past stuff for future link to access and talk via the master sword or the recall tear?

Starting to wonder if these are actually flashbacks to zonai times. Like you have his hand in link and i bet that get you another set of go to this location for some fmv. Thats gotta be zonai zelda too from the mural with the redhead "link" (could be dorfy, not that firey red version frok the trailer tho, thats clearly like a phase 2 embrace demise type poo poo)

Actually, zelda zonai is in the art book but i cant remember if they drop her name or not

AoL > LoZ

LA > alttp

MM > OoT

Hmmmmmm totk... >botw???? (Yes, without even playing it, its obvious)

Playing n64 MM right now and im getting reminded how great it by just nit carbon copying oot other than reusing assets (full priced dlc???) and how insane it is they pulled all this poo poo off in 2000. Im hoping ill get to play through ww, tp and ss before totk drops but lol drowning in video games rn like its 1997-1999 again
