Not gonna lie but I think Nintendo and the Zelda team are nearing creative bankruptcy and no amount of gimmicky crafting-your-way through the adventure can’t hide that for long. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, Nintendo.

i upgraded to the oled switch finally just for this game specifically and im so glad i did we are VERY HYPED

I know im late in the game but decided to pull the trigger and ordered a copy of this game with the Nintendo switch oled holiday bundle and should get by the end of the week.. hell of a lot cheaper than getting the ps5 pro for sure..

I had a feeling Nintendo wanted to make a Zelda game as her as lead character 😊

Link has unlimited sword fighting skills and a cap on using magic. Zelda has limited sword fighting skills, and a consistent access to her echoes. Seems like pretty smart design to me.

This should've been a full dungeon. With a heart container at the end

My 4yr old daughter loves both BOTW and TOTK but I think this is going to be her moment :)

Definitely buying this. I have a feeling it’s going exceed my expectations. It’s not TOTK but I think it’ll be great either way. I love the aesthetic

i can’t find it i went to the exact point on the map and i cant find the chasm anywhere

I want a playable harp or even a bunch of playable instrument echoes.

Curious has anyone notice the lack of echoes of wisdom on Amazon?

I actually don’t want “returning items” in a typical sense, but I’d love to see their uses return as echoes. For example, we have seen Zelda ride a spiny echo sort of like a spinner from Twilight Princess. I’d love to see them translate enemy and object echo effects into classic item uses.

I have never in my life, since the release of the original Zelda on NES, been so disappointed in a zelda game. The Links awakening art style is cute but that's it. The game looks so lame it's brutal. Why do we not have the butt kicking zelda from smash using sword and magic to fight with? This is a prime example of why Link needs to always be the hero in these games. He is just a better protagonist all around. It just seems so uninspired and boring.

Those stones have been stated to be for fast travel already…

Look ma, it’s my shoulder!! Nice work on this one. Can’t wait to see what fills up those inventory slots 👀

I don't think traditional items are likely. There are probably replacements via echoes and that linking ability, and we know outfits and trinkets are returning for small additive effects, but i don't see them deciding to give zelda a hammer, which is often a replacement weapon. The closest i could see them going to it is the link sword mode gaining options with/instead of power with lvls: The idea being that link's moves are his, but zelda can mimic more abilites the more she fights him. A limited way to turn off your problem solving brain with echoes and just push through with link's abilities.

No. We don't need another Link's Awakening. Thats it's own thing. We already got the same art style and dungeons and this is mostly a Zelda game. Zelda already jumps no feather leaf needed. No.

6:50 Zora Flippers have already been confirmed as an accessory

Echoes will be stand ins for items. Skultulas for example are ladders

I think the bow is a given. "Classic" items will likely go on the d-pad, and I think there was still a blank space even with the sword. I also seeing it working with the meter just fine. Each arrow takes off a fixed amount of the meter, similar to how the magic arrows in OoT/MM worked. (Or it could also just be a time limit).

If there are any traditional Link items in this game they will all be additions to the fighter form. It wouldn't make sense to have something like hookshot or bow, or hammer constantly accessible because it distracts from the core special abilities (echoes and bind) that Zelda has. As sword fighter form items it would allow Nintendo to add more still world barriers and obstacles that require different items. This would mean that no matter how many echoes you have, there is still the occasional reliance on needing a dungeon specific item to progress (obtained from still world link). They have already shown and confirmed that you fast travel using those statues. You don't need an Ocarina/Flute to fast travel in this game. So thats one significant use of the Ocarina that implies it won't show up. Id loved the Ocarina to return but I'm doubtful on that one. The shovel doesn't make as much sense as in theory there would be creatures or objects you could use to dig up the ground. Magic powder is another one that doens't make sense as its primary use in Link's Awakening was to light torches. But we've seen you can do that really early in the game using a Igni Sol echo. I could see the power bracelet being an item but it dependds if Zelda can use bind to move rocks or not. She's been shown to move a humungous boulder so it would be a little strange to include heavier rocks you need a bracelet to pick up. She's already shown to be able to carry smaller rocks. I would love the return of the Lens of Truth. Zora flippers ARE in the game. Theyre a clothing item you can buy. It has a improvement to swimming but she can supposedly swim from the begnining. The cape would make a lot of sense for Zelda to navigate around while invisible. Still they've shown stealth in the beginning of the game so not too sure of its use here except to give her some invincibility. Hookshot is possible but you need to keep in mind that there are numerous ways to already navigate around: reverse bound on moving platforns and birds, echoes such as wall crawlers and birds. As I state above, I think some will be in the game but they will be to overcome obstacles that you absolutely cannot without them. They will be use to facilitate combat and to destroy/overcome more of those gooey obstacles in the still world. Don't mean to be a stick in the mud knocking down some of these, but I find a lot of people when asked pick their favourites without thinking about the reality of whether they fit with the design. So many only do in the context of Fighter Form Zelda. Great video though, got me thinking about the potentials.

Even if i try to find some leaks or spoiler i dont found anyone of them ..i personaly like to see some spoilers ..but i understand the people who hate spoilers.😅

If you look at the leaks you’ll see that they are all there but just not as you expect.

The flippers were in a shop in a trailer

Echoes and Tri's abilities will replace some of the items you've already mentioned. In one trailer we saw Zelda using a mole echo to dig up a hole. That's the new Shovel. And no need for power bracelets when Zelda can lift boulders on her own, and larger boulders with the help of Tri's ability "Bind". There is a famous Zelda enemy that uses the boomerang, the goriya. I could see her turning one into an echo.

echoes of wisdom leaks: you play as link and have to save zelda this time around

I don’t think classic items will be returning in this game other than the bow.

I just want to see the bow! It's Zelda's iconic item and I think would be a huge boost to gameplay and battle.

Wow! I didn't know you could save the fish. 🐟

It's so annoying

Ive already bought my copy in full. Got my receipt hung on my fridge. And i accounce to my roomates every morning how many days remain before New Zelda Game. In truth, I love games but in my 30s I dont get as excited as I did in youth. Cant play em for as long either. However, this game has me bouncin around like a kid again. So excited.

Emilation and a switch. Thats all you really need.

I was making my way, found some of the weird hand things and now I'm fighting the ganon thing BEFORE I SURFACED did I fuck up?

My one little fear is that I don’t like that they’re bringing back 2d sections like in links awakening. They make the dungeon layouts unnecessarily weird and confusing . Maybe the map layout will be extremely clear and readable but I didn’t like them in LA so I doubt I’ll be thrilled about them here
