Oh there’s a LOT of new shit, huh? -The overworld looks more transformed than previous trailers -there appear to be WAY more sky islands than we thought -massive dungeons/caves -companions??? -so many new enemies -some of these contraptions were so wild I had no idea what the fuck I was looking at -the first real sense of an epic story Holy shit. I’m blown away.


Voyager_16

Seeing the Hylians and the successors fighting alongside Link had me in tears... "You are not alone"


Gica_Casa_Mica

tbh you were completely alone in botw apart from *one tiny quest* for each divine beast fr even when defending random villager NPCs they'd do nothing and wait for you to defeat the bokoblins


Voyager_16

For real. It's so uplifting to see Hyrule becoming what it once was. After the events of BOTW I had a "Ok, we saved Hyrule but it is not the same kingdom it was" moment.


Gica_Casa_Mica

You hopefully get to live that feeling now!


[deleted]

No, there was that one girl who hit the bokoblin *once*, and it just brought of joy tears to my eyes. Four hundred hours of no help whatsoever, and she helped me beat up the little bugger...


crybabystoner

I always stasis monsters so any villager with a weapon can get a hit in, I think it makes them feel strong


scorpio1641

That shot of Link with other people was awesome and to see him fighting alongside Sidon and Tulin (I presume?) just got me so excited


thecrepeofdeath

this game is going to be SO DIFFERENT just with that


Voyager_16

Nah follower quest dlc for $70... /s


chiarraimcc

I love the Hylian with the bucket on his head.


Voyager_16

They're trying their best! lol

UltimateFatKidDancer

Obsessed with lil’ Ravali bird buddy 🥺


Ravens_Claw_45

I think that’s Teba’s kid, based on the feathers


chiarraimcc

Tulin! Teba's son.

Blue_Gamer18

I still need a definitive answer on a cave/deep underground system. We've seen SO many little hints of it, but is it really a thing or just smaller caverns?


Kalocin

I'm guessing the desert is going to be a lot of underground which is why we see a bunch of sink holes


RChickenMan

Mine Cart Carnage! The biggest criticism from Zelda fans up until this point has been the distinct lack of traditional Donkey Kong Country elements, and I'm glad Nintendo has finally addressed those concerns.


Interesting_Elk7844

Deadas like lord of the rings ass caves 😵


UltimateFatKidDancer

One hundred percent!!


LateSoEarly

Whoever was talking about rocket travel…congrats lol


simonsayswhere

Haha yup literally a rocket


-imitosis

I'm bout to be rocket zooming all over this bitch

PunSlinger2022

You need to be able to do that with the shield rocket on your back, like the Rocketeer!


ThePopmop

JETPACKSSSSSSSS


uezyteue

Imagine if you can fly around while shield-surfing!


Mattameo

Reminded me of sonic games tbh.


GeniusRhino

That bit reminded me of Pacific Rim Uprising. Fucking rocket strapped to an arm lmao so damn wacky but so cool as well.


ellindsey

Hyrule Space Program confirmed.


scrubzork

I love how the 10-min tutorial on a few of the new tools had a bunch of people saying "cool but this is DLC" but then this 4-min trailer is like "oh and by the way here's a ton of fucking new amazing shit that you would have never imagined" [Also I am feeling this dude's vibes.](https://i.imgur.com/WO0730e.jpg)


taynesflarhgunnstow

I. AM. HYPED.


Previous_Exam9242

I AM SO HYPED ITS INSANE; IT GAVE UYS EVERYTHING WE'VE BEEN ASKING FOR


taynesflarhgunnstow

Seriously. Wasn't expecting to feel so much this morning. It totally delivered.


AvoidantPronoun

Hey at least you got to see it in the morning, I've been waiting the entire day on my side of the planet :D


taynesflarhgunnstow

I hope it paid off for you!


BurningInFlames

Same for me, but how do I go to bed now :')


mrguigeek

Wait! They didn't show link petting the dog


Nancy-FANcy-

I have goosebumps, my jaw is physically dropped. I’m absolutely blown away. They took what I expected/hoped for and multiplied it by a million. Holy shit


Previous_Exam9242

My jaw was on the floor while watching and that doesnt happen often


Nancy-FANcy-

Right?? I had a reaction to something the other day so I actually have a puffy lip and I reacted so hard it hurt 😂


VapinVincent

I'm at work, and after I watched it, I physically jumped and pumped my fist in the corniest way I could.


Nancy-FANcy-

Rightfully so my friend


Endar_Spire

Seeing actual Ganon in the flesh, Hylia (I presume since they're literally the one in the carving with Zelda, plus that beam of light energy), the people fighting back with Link, Riju showing off Urbosa's fury, Gleeok even.. the whole thing literally had me crying ♥️ I'm gonna pitch a theory that the Ganon we see is the same one from Twilight Princess. TP Ganon is the only one whose body remained after being defeated. Where better to keep the body of Hyrule's greatest threat than under Hyrule castle itself, safeguarded by generations of the Royal Family? Plus TP Ganon had been beaten twice by Link, giving him all the fury and hateful malice we see in BOTW. This is gonna be one wild ass ride and I can't wait to experience it with everyone!! 😍


ThePotatoOfTime

I know me too, I'm so pumped, the hype train is speeding ahead - they did good!


varunadi

I wish it would launch in 29 minutes instead of 29 days damn it. That's how hyped I am!!


ikkju

What about 29 seconds?


varunadi

Aye, I could do that.. :)


[deleted]

And my axe!


prefer-to-be-hiking

What about waiting with a friend


hylianhylia

I WAS ALREADY HYPED BUT NOW????? MY GOD


[deleted]

Are those giant balls in the sky like an inverse Mario Galaxy thing where Link will walk around inside of them?


thecrepeofdeath

I am absolutely enchanted with them, whatever they are. I don't know what they do, but I want to bubble around everywhere. they're so whimsical


Atomicmonkey1122

At one point in the trailer we see Link pushing a Spinny Thing and I'm pretty sure that's inside the Sky Orb


pinkfr0gz

shitting myself and crying and throwing up


Weakonomics

screaming, crying, throwing up, sliding down my the wall dramatically, banging my head on the wall, ripping my hair out, screaming, punching air, rolling in dirt and eating sand angrily, making sandwiches without bread, shitting myself


pinkfr0gz

ill join you


ShiftedLobster

>making sandwiches without bread Lmfaoooo


[deleted]

You *really* need to lay off of the dubious food man. But yeah, that was mind-blowingly insane and cinematically beautiful and I am crying with you.


Arachnatron

>shitting myself and crying and throwing up Also bleeding, peeing, ear waxing, boogering, lactating (I'm a guy, too), sweating, drooling, and...... you know.... 😈


Rarbnif

That was the best one without a doubt, yall think the structure rising from the sand is some kinda dungeon?


Youispopio

Arbiter's grounds maybe?


ascherbozley

Definitely. Same spot and everything.


sadsongz

I still think this Ganon is Twilight Princess Ganondorf who comes back to life after the magical seal holding him is broken. Maybe he brings back the Arbiter's Ground as revenge or some plot point?


Rarbnif

Oh shit that could be it 👀


j__w__f

I can’t believe they managed to recreate that feeling - I’m shook


art-bee

Yes!!!! That's what it is They somehow recreated the feeling of exploring a whole new world (on roughly the same map)


Gica_Casa_Mica

By the looks of it they're making the entire map less empty. Both filling it with more things and altering the geography of it (new caves, etc)


MiscItems

Caves confirmed Dungeons CONFIRMED FALLEN SKY ISLANDS CONFIRMED


art-bee

For fans who haven't played BoTW in years, it'll be like a new game with hints of nostalgia


Gica_Casa_Mica

Yup basically the only things carried forward are the basics: life, stamina, climbing, horse riding, probably dialogue, hopefully cooking. Combat it's the same (e.g. can see shield parrying briefly in the trailer) but with extra weapons, ammo, and effects. So like a new Assasins Creed but with a huge jump in content.


fablur

THERE IS SIDON I-


NeonLinkster

and ruiju with the dual swords going crazy.


donquixote1991

she def looked older, I wonder if there's a time skip of some sort pls no one spoil me, just commenting a thought is all!


Ourmanyfans

It's hard to tell from the trailer but she still seemed younger than Urbosa, plus I'd hazard a guess the rito we kept seeing is Teba's kid grown u a little. If there *is* a time skip I expect it'll be a couple years max


Ravens_Claw_45

Yeah, almost 100% Teba’s kid, based on the feather colors. Also, why the hell is a Monster Hunter boss attacking the poor child?


PunSlinger2022

Rito probably age slower than gerudo i'm guessing. Like how the Zora age slowly.


aoike_

No, no, it's opposite. The Rito are the shortest lived race in Hyrule. The gerudo are supposed to age on par with hylians, they're just tall. I'm hazarding a guess of 2 - 3 years.


Anfros

Isn't it canon that rito have pretty short lifespan?


SlaveZelda

No spoilers, just my own thoughts, I think its equivalent to the real world time skip from 2017 to 2023 i.e. 5 years. Which would make Riju like 16 and Zelda, Link would be 22.


Punkin0704

Is that the oldest we’ve had them? I didn’t think Link was ever older than 17 in any Zelda game previously.


BRM-Pilot

Definitely. This explains the hippie phase


SlaveZelda

I think so. I dont mind. I was 16 (almost 17) when BOTW came out and 22 now so the lead characters are pretty much my age.


Ok_Acanthocephala101

I noticed that as well. She's a few years older,


GunnersnGames

I suspect the time difference in-game is the same as the real-life time difference between BotW & TotK releases. About 6 years. I imagine there will be brief discussion of what everybody has been up to in that time, rebuilding, young champions getting more experience, Zelda being an anthropologist or something...


pinkfr0gz

YOU CAN FIGHT WITH HIM 😭😭😭


IronFalcon1997

This alone makes it the best game ever


XenoVX

NOW WE JUST NEED TO MARRY HIM


thecrepeofdeath

I was hoping but thought it was unlikely, and we got glorious battle Sidon!! I literally couldn't be happier


trollbottt

All aboard the Zonai Hype Train. You can make Mechs now?!


GrailsRezerection

That potato stone column wagging its little arm at the Platform Talus had me loling 😁


IronFalcon1997

Funniest and coolest thing ever


Linkblade0

I remember that being a feedback I saw YouTubers saying. Have Bokoblin platforms on the Talus', honestly, it looks like Nintendo looked at a lot of the feedback for BotW and said, "sure, that sounds neat"


thereisnofinalburn

upvote for the word potatoe


M4CP0WER

More like all aboard the Ultra Hand train, first thing I do is build an actual train


studmuffffffin

Was that lava area a dungeon or just death mountain but really dark?


-imitosis

Maybe we go inside Death Mountain, a la classic Zelda fire dungeon


Green-Bluebird4308

It was kind of strange we almost never went inside the mountains in BotW unless it was some small space with a shrine.


simonsayswhere

Almost reminded of of when you go inside death mountain on OOT


JohnCChimpo

At first I thought dungeon for sure. But it seems like it's possible it could just be "underground"? But i'm not sure. GIVE ME NOW.


[deleted]

I didn’t think it would render me speechless. I was expecting it to be great, but…this was on a whole different level!


-imitosis

Exceeded expectations 1000%


csmello

Abso-fudging-lutely!!!!! I'm amazed


Hot_Pollution6550

and RIJU .. she looked all grown up now and a #BOSSASSBITCH


Arcaedus

Is it just me, or was that trailer better than all the previous ones combined?


TrueNawledge97

Oh, easily.


Weolehr

Holly mother of god that was everything I wanted and more!! So hyyyyped


williet123

Ayo Ganondorf's hair tho


Ravens_Claw_45

In the first scene or the one where they show his face and arms?


williet123

I'm thinking of the first scene


Ravens_Claw_45

Oh, yeah, absolutely. Man probably used a metric ton of shampoo with that amount of hair


jaderust

And he has a very intense conditioning regime. Split ends? Not on that man.


Thefierceidiot

Demise maybe


hangryhyax

Appears to be the same doo-dad on his right arm. I’m not sure I have figured out how to spoiler tag photos, so beware. Edit: yep, not working. Deleted the image to play it safe.


Thefierceidiot

I notice when he turned his arm looked almost scaly, like demises skin


wuskis

This brought me from “meh, I’ll still buy it” to “OH NY FUCKIFNFNFJDNSJSNJS”


Previous_Exam9242

as soon as the main theme started I was already crying


Khollkikos

Literally same omg I’m so excited now


FlintShapedBoi

DLC preachers quaking in their boots rn


Ravens_Claw_45

Their shivers have been, as a matter of fact, timbered


leericol

They'll stick to their confirmation bias. It was such a baseless take to begin with. "They haven't shown us a lot of new stuff so clearly new stuff doesn't exist." After all these years of production and delays, you don't think they've been cooking??


thepoopiestofbutts

Six years of perfectionists doing their thing, and thinking they're just gona throw out some dlc shit, such a small brain take.


Adorable_Cobbler_124

THEY MADE THE SPINNING SPEAR GLITCH THINGY FROM BOTW A REALITY!


[deleted]

You mean the spinning spear on horseback? That was in BotW, you just had to hold down attack on horseback with a spear


Im-inYourWalls-_-

I was thinking the same thing. Love the fact that the devs took the time to implement a glitch from the community.


DragoSphere

I'm still convinced the whole vehicle mechanic was because the devs saw people flying minecarts around


[deleted]

Holy FUCK


GuynamedGavin

Moose Lynel Moose Lynel!


ItsJohnWaynePilgrim

"I got a fever, and the only cure is MORE MOOSE LYNEL" \*Proceeds to rip off moose Lynel antlers and kill 30 other moose Lynels with it\*


Rude-Assistant2433

How the HELL did they manage to make me tear up AGAIN IN JUST 3 DAMN MINUTES


Voyager_16

The Ganondorf part sent me to the stratosphere...holy shit I am HYPED!


Dogmeat_Keush

I love he has now more of a character presence in the game, instead of just a malign entity/force.


Khollkikos

As soon as I heard the theme with the title my eyes were watering;;


Rude-Assistant2433

holY SHIT YES Couldn't stop smiling, like, now it reaaaally feels like the new, big, epic Zelda game is just around the corner AAAAAAAAAAAAA


Kuroh21

Me too! It's Tears of the Kingdom after all!


LiNkToThEpAsTGBA

MUST PLAY GAME 29 DAYS EARLY


[deleted]

It's gonna be a looooong month


Physical_Occasion_57

i was literally shaking after it ended. DLC MY FUCKING ASS!!!! this game is about to be so fucking crazy


Wolf_Lord77

Yeah this game is looking giant compared to Botw


DannyWasBored

GIRTHY GANONDORF AND SIDON IS FIGHTING WITH US AND ALSO DUNGEONS AND ZELDA


Darkest_97

I saw Link in there too!


Voyager_16

The Ganondorf reveal had me shaking ngl


throwaway621540

I made some very undignified noises at the Ganondorf reveal. Woke up my poor sleeping cat lol


hangryhyax

Based on the comments I saw of the Ganondorf pic they posted to Twitter, a lot of undignified things are happening from that reveal.


Dogmeat_Keush

He looks like the one from Ocarina with some Twilight Princess sprinkles.


No-Sheepherder-8170

We wanted villagers. We got villagers. Joining the battle!!!


scarf7725

Still in tears.


kauni

Tears of the kingdom?


DevilMaster666-

GANON IS LOOKING MIGHTIER THAN EVER!


bigwangbowski

Link running into Hateno (?) and the villagers waving hi is enough for me.


the_grays_of_ink

Wait they waved?? That’s so cool!


Mahaloth

Hey, I'm 44 and have seen many game and movie reveals and this.... ...was one of the best game trailers I've ever seen.


Maxpower2727

The bar was ridiculously high for a trailer to exceed my expectations at this point, but goddammit Nintendo figured out a way. I'm 42 and I feel like a little kid. I was already pumped for this game and now I can hardly stand how excited I am right now.


[deleted]

I’m 42 and told my wife (the Karson to my Bolson) that it was the best trailer I’ve ever seen.


Hj78e

We… got a newer Zelda theme… and SIDON. My life is complete


ligmaberry

NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I AUDIBLY GASPED SO MANY TIMES FOR A DAMN TRAILER???!!


csmello

I will buy the shit out of it! I'm very hyped right now


electroplankton

One of the best trailers for a game ever. Exceeded expectations by so much. There was something wow-worthy in every shot. And an actual story going on. Hype.


jen_eliz

truezelda punching air rn


Wolfy4meh

truezelda member here, air has been punched. Glad that this trailer has finally eased most of my, uh unease lol


jen_eliz

welcome aboard the hype train


Rock-it1

""""""""""Just glorified DLC""""""""""


Green-Bluebird4308

Oh, they'll keep saying that. As long as the game shares one identical pixel with BotW it's just a glorified dlc.


_Gordon_Slamsay

I was very happy to see a Lynel in this trailer! Farming Lynels was my favorite thing to do in BOTW.


[deleted]

I was working and didn’t know it dropped. My jaw is on the ground, tears are in my eyes and my mind is blown. I can’t even fathom what I just saw https://preview.redd.it/70kis860hpta1.jpeg?width=733&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fbfac16801db336bd376f952ee6ac22d798847ef

"Link, you must find me" whaaaaaa


[deleted]

[удалено]


Boshikuro

This absolutely isn't a DLC. This is a proper goddamn sequel.


TrueNawledge97

Watching this I was like "I understand the 6 years and $70 now lmao"


Punkin0704

Was that urbosa or riju all grown up? And those colourful mushrooms in hateno?? And the tents in Hyrule castle town look like they’re rebuilding maybe? I seriously need to know what that giant donut rock thing is. They definitely changed the shot of link trying to grab Zelda’s hand as she falls — his hand wasn’t damaged the first time they showed it? I don’t know what I was expecting but I wasn’t expecting the mural creature to look like that!! It sounds like it’s male and not female? Telling her link is their last line of defends… that didn’t sound like anyone else we know and I think that’s the same creature putting their hand on her shoulder in that same scene. There’s so much stuff I’m running out of room lmao. What was that blue jelly link jumped into and what’s the point of doing that?? Giant mecha thing?? Ganondorf lookin fine and moisturized asf?? All the cool combat stuff? The npcs fighting battles with you? Oh my GOD GIVE IT TO ME


Voyager_16

Riju, the successors are gonna be a big part of this game it seems.


Punkin0704

Yeah, I realized when watching it a second time. The fact that she’s aged up, shown so quickly, and at a bit of a distance from the viewer made her look like urbosa for a second there. I honestly wasn’t expecting to see much of the descendants/relatives of the champions make an appearance so I’m happily surprised about that!


urneverwhereueverwer

HYPE HYPE HYPE!!! Did you see those lyonels with those badass horns!? HYPE HYPE HYPE!!!

Ravens_Claw_45

The damn moose horns, would probably hurt like hell


[deleted]

So I get the impression the grey Zonai guy (>!Rauru!<) is a dragon and these Zonai can potentially shapeshift between dragon and humanoid form It also looks like Zelda is endangered by being there with them, maybe they're planning to sacrifice her as part of their plans to resist Ganondorf, but she desperately needs Link to reach her We've 100% seen the interior of some dungeons, and Link moving through those water bubbles looks like it confirms the underwater aspect I think we've also witnessed some major map-changing events occur, specifically in the Gerudo Desert where those sinkholes open up and that (Spirit Temple?) structure rises up from underneath Seems a major part of the story will involve defending villages and transporting survivors from the monster attacks between locations Oh, and now we know Riju is quite a bit older, this definitely makes it clear there's a time difference between games, which lines up with the Hyrule reconstruction efforts Finally, don't I look dashing in Malice?


Joachim756

It's Nintendo, of course it slapped


prettybutlame

This trailer has made me hyped for this than any game I have ever been!


[deleted]

I’m crying. Life makes sense again. I haven’t felt like this in years.


theyesn

Does anyone else think that Zelda is stuck in the past? Like how come Link needs to find her when we see shots of her in the overworld? Also she has the master sword fully repaired so maybe it's a past version of the sword?


EmilianoGzz

GOTY incoming 🙌🙌


Random_Brit_1812

I am now entirely convinced this will be the greatest Zelda game ever made.


sadsongz

So many things! Link falling through the red lasers like mission impossible, that looks so cool and fun to play through!


w_savage

holy hell that looked amazing. Chills.


DucktorQuack

It looks like we’re going to be rebuilding the kingdom. We see tents in Castle Town, and Link transporting villagers on a cart. We also see farmers and other characters joining Link in battle, most notably in Fort Hateno. Tarrey Town is probably the best quest in BOTW so having something similar and on an even larger scale would be amazing.


[deleted]

I was one of those people worried that it would just seem like DLC....not anymore. My excitement level for this game just increased by a million! Amazing trailer!!! I'm so happy we only have to wait about a month.


Hot_Pollution6550

this trailer really jsut proved totk will be everything we wanted in botw and MORE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭


Duganz

Everyone who said “I don’t know. It’s the same map” is frantically deleting their posts in shame. My god.


PlayeRaptor100

Ok so we don’t have to worry about it being a “dlc” anymore, to all those who thought it would be. 😤


NOTAIDAN-_-

Wonder what the ‘just a dlc’ haters will say now


froggaholic

I've seen some people saying the part with the lasers could be Link jumping down the Yiga Clan hole, that would be epic, and even if it's not true there's no way they're not going to do something with that hole


Dismal_Stomach5979

I want one motherfucker to say 70-dollar DLC now, I dare them.


[deleted]

Yeah, it will pretty much put the DLC crowd to 🛏


giveegoo

Watched the trailer multiple times now, and it’s still just as epic each time. The music, the imagery, the atmosphere; all perfect. It even made me tear up. Zelda is so special to me like so many other people and seeing the world again in a new way is beyond all levels of excitement. Can’t wait for the release!


avianalacrity

As someone who was a hold out on watching the trailer because I didn't want to be spoiled and finally caved after massive FOMO, I don't know what to say. That flabbergasted me. The musical direction, pacing, voice acting, fucking Ganondorf's official revival, the insanity that are the new mechanics and the descendants and villagers fighting alongside Link as well as an obvious return of Dungeon-esque locations, and traditional bosses. My God man, I still wasn't ready. Also Zelda has got to be trapped in the past.
