[@matthewhyatt5740]

I watched a video of the breath of the wild 2 trailer in reverse and I swear I heard it say at one point "please help us for this is his final coming".

[@LaZeeStuff]

i think it's because of the cryptid atmosphere involved with such things. it's also a common thing for human suffering that can't be helped (like end of the world movies that are really dark, 2012 is one that comes to mind) to sort of...instinctively trigger that feeling of severe unease in people. that's probably why the SOS in the Divine Beast themes gives so many players the creeps, because it really does solidify the idea that the Champions all perished in horrible, painful ways, and have been essentially imprisoned within their own graves for a century at this point. it also makes it even scarier that we don't know the full truth behind just what happened, so we can only imagine it, and that also triggers an instinctive fear i think. so i imagine that's why the supposed "help us, please" whisper is so spine-chilling, due to the combined ideas of human suffering that can't be helped (from what this possible theory implies, these spirits could have been trapped here for a very long time, and are only able to hang on from just the hope that Ganondorf's wrath will not destroy this world), and the fact that we know practically nothing about who these possible spirits are, nor what the backstory is behind this whole situation. sorry for the long response, i find this stuff to be very interesting

I bet Nintendo was like "Let's REALLY see how insane our audience is" then recorded this. Guess they're right. we somehow found a piece of audio that, reversed, sounds like "help us, please". Or that was the employees in (Insert name of main Zelda dev here)'s basement sneaking a message.

[@Staypuft444]

LoL

[@Reizyr]

Just my take on all of this. The first part of the isolated vocals, to me, sounds like the Japanese word かわいそう(Kawaisō), which can be translated to "poor," or "poor you." The second part sounds a bit like "ah rin-." In Japanese, Link is pronounced as "Rinku", which it could technically be if the last "ku" syllable was cut off from the audio. Thus the translation may come out as "Poor you, ah Link" or even rearranged as "Ah Link, poor you" if the word placements in the sentence were reversed, which sounds pretty ominous in its own way. It might have been difficult to find any clear result for any hidden meaning in the text since most people interpret it to be in English, but the game itself is from Japan so it's not unreasonable to think it might be in Japanese instead.

[@sickasfrik]

I heard Kurosawa Yami, I thought we were agreed that there are no lyrics, and for one SIMPLE reason. The trailer is identical in all regions and across all directs, meaning that Nintendo would have recorded English voices JUST for a slight easter egg. Which makes no sense as Japanese is recorded first, and if the leaks are anything to go by, the voice acting may not have even started. What does this mean to the Spanish, or the German, or the Koreans? The whole reason we have been using Masterworks as canon material, and the Japanese script over the english one is because they are closer to the creators' original intentions. So why, would a mostly Japanese speaking team, decide to get a very vague line which means absolutely nothing, translate it to English, get an English voice actor to read it, reverse it, synthesize it, and then put it in the global directs? We are looking too far into a trailer that told us literally nothing

[@kacperwoch4368]

Even for Zelda series this 'hidden message' seems way too distorted to actually mean something. I bet it's some kind of stock audio.

[@steve112285]

It would make sense if there were lyrics in Japanese or Italian (like opera) or Latin (which we don't know how to pronounce, but have made up a way), but not English.

The trailer being identical all over the world would actually be an argument to use English, not Japanese. I can assure you that there plenty of people in Spain, Germany, and Korea that speak English ;)

Hey NBC, There is a german KZbinr called „Roxtendo“. In his theory video „Stimme geknackt“ he has very good lyrics for the Trailer. Just look at them, if you like to, it is really very close to the voice. Please like this comment, so that NBC sees this.

[@michaelmann7816]

Interesting thought: doesn't the distortion on the supposed "help us" sound like an effect we've heard before? My first thought was Fi, but a check of the comments also brings up Midna. My brain isn't fishing up anything more than "I'd swear I've heard that processing effect before" right now, but I figured I'd throw the thought out there for people with better recollection (or easier access to the games in question) to bat around and chew over.

[@almasih_qam]

It can’t be Fi, bc she is still In the master sword. This gives me TP vibes, but who knows, Fi could be asking for help cuz Demise is escaping, but that is still unlikely, bc it says “us”.

What the hell. I think some people here are trolling. I CLEARLY hear "HELP US..... PLEASE". When I saw the trailer I ran it in reverse to find out if it is a song in the trailer backwards. I WAS not looking foe voices yet I heard "help up please" and it freaked me out. I immediately looked it up on KZbin and many people heard the same thing. This is legit.

[@ADHD_and_Crayons]

I've spent so many hours combing every frame of this trailer & finding every little detail. Then going back through every LoZ game to find patterns; which made pages of notes. I listened to the trailer's music reversed, on a loop, for a couple hours (when it first premiered). The phrase I immediately heard (& still only hear) is.... "Come find me. Pull in piece of the body" I heard the "help us" & the phrase I hear in the song before I watched any videos saying they know what it says. Maybe that's why I never changed what I hear? I was very musically active growing up & one lesson explained that when singing, you must change how you pronounce diff words or letters, so it doesn't sound harsh. Using old lessons, I was able to identify the use of.... "p", "f", "c", "b", "e". Once I noted the letters used, it made the phrase stand out even more. I dont know what it could hint at, but I have speculations. I'm still hoping for a Twilight realm return lol The arm is definitely related to spirits or the power from them. Just look at how the Champions' spirits were shrouded in that same glowing green color.... The 2 hidden phrases may hint at another threat that has been orchestrating the malice from a distant realm... Meaning Demise found a way to break free within the Sacred realm & the hand is a God/Goddess attempt to help Link/Zelda (since they failed to contain him) or a collection of spirits, which may explain the distorted, eerie, tone the music becomes (many people or spirits talking at once would distort any sound). Regardless.... I think the music is important & may signify the reason WHY L & Z found the dungeon....the music reached out to them & guided their way. A warning? A plot to reawaken Gannon? An ancient or immortal helping? I could speculate for days on the purpose of that glowing arm lol. But Nintendo is the biggest tease ever!!! I just hope all our hype finds a satisfying end & not a letdown on delivery or depth.

I have noticed and shall say it again, I think I have found where Zelda and Link enter the caves in the game. It is the floor of the Stalnox room in Hyrule Castle's dungeon. The floor looks like a giant safe lock/manhole cover. You can also find luminous ore in one of the caves surrounding the castle. It would make sense, a giant, almost immovable stone hatch to a dangerous cavern/temple, guarded by a strong, semi-immortal beast that is also is used to test you for the Hylian shield to distract you from the odd floor.

If you are trying to hear "help us, please" and can't figure it out it's because you are listening to the chanting. You need to listen for whispers in the background. Read along with 5:17, it might help.

Here's all the facts we know: "The sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is now in development." That's it. We *know* nothing else. Let's be honest with ourselves. The game we get might look NOTHING like this or end up having nothing to do with a hand pinning down a person we strongly *believe* to be Ganondorf. The announcement teaser we got for BotW ended up sparking all sorts of speculation that turned out to be wrong or changed before released. Guardians don't move like in the teaser, there were no destructible bridges, guardians wouldn't attack villages, etc.

[@stabtwice2233]

Botw trailer wasn’t in-game footage they used for the trailer. In fact, the trailer kind of represents what happened in the story 100 year ago not the gameplay itself where you are 100 year in the future. Also, botw 2 uses the same mechanics, the graphics and style are already made since the first game, the trailer footage is an in-game situation so yes, we know more than “it’s in development”

[@garrettrinquest1605]

Honestly, part of me wonders if the Zelda team released a super vague trailer way early in the development of the game just so that they could steal ideas from all the KZbin theory videos 😂

[@averageordonian]

I could see that, but considering that they began the game with ideas that were too big for BoTW DLC the sequel will most likely follow the path of the trailer for the most part. I think what we all know for sure is that this game will involve the return of Ganondorf, because that's too big and important to cut out of the final product
