[@skoe3251]

Hey I have a question, do you think that the fuse ability can maybe only be used in the sky Islands? I ask this because when link is riding through the field the fuse ability is grayed out but not when he's in the sky Islands. At first I thought this might be Nintendo trying to hide an aspect of game play but if you notice when link falls off the sky island ascend gets grayed out in the same manner. Just a thought.

[@TheJcris87]

I don't even care if there isn't underwater exploration, the game looks dope as is

Notice in the gameplay showcase at the end when link falls off the sky island, when hes underwater the ultrahand button lights up. You could be wrong

What if the entirety of Hyrule is completely interconnected underground? That would be insane. Maybe you'd have to clear underground regions to connect them together to where you could eventually travel underground far enough and pop up on the other side of the map.

[@jaredponder4149]

Ascend's patent specifically states that a requirement for the ability is to "be able to quickly escape caves" so yeah, it's going to be gargantuan down there and intricately connected to the gameplay loop.

[@TheRealNintendoKid]

that would be friggin' amazing. I just hope we get SOME form of proper dungeons this time, preferably as close to what zelda 1 did as possible, hiding the entrances in random places. And if you can't explore deeper in the "forgotten temple," I'm gonna be kind of upset.

Ugh; if it still Breaks - that will contribute a 'major error' point in my rating leading to a possible whole Mark being docked off my x/10 rating I'll eventually give Tears. I rated Breath a 6/10 - Tears however already looks _far_ more promising so I'm hoping I'll not be disappointed enough to finally get it to that 8(+)/10 rating!

[@ursa525]

@netweed09 yeah, i feel like enough people complained about the weapon durability that they could have changed it at least slightly, i feel like they may have also done that cause for me it would make sense in the whole combining weapons and items thing for the durability to be altered, but on the other hand maybe they kept the durability the same so you have to continuously mix and match new weapons, i hope the durability is at least higher or more reliable but we'll just have to see :)🤷

[@alexi3742]

Looks like one of those fan blocks is high in the sky above the Golem at 6:25 It has similiar edges, and if so it seems to be correct that it can float by itself. Will be interesting to see how they work!

[@viniciusmelquiades]

About the giant fans, they are giant compared to the island, almost the same size the smaller fans are compared to the raft we see in the gameplay. My theory is, what if the giant fans are meant to move the whole island?

[@HyruleGamer]

That would be cool!

[@Ima_lil_Man]

I LOVE that Mario galaxy remix at the beginning! It was perfect! Thanks for that Hyrule Gamer!😊😊😊

[@jaredponder4149]

The concept of Hyrule castle launching from a concentrated burst of malice, and also spreading underground through existing ancient tunnels and caves to burst open malice geysers all over Hyrule has been something I've thought since the moment we saw the first malice hole, and furthermore, I think the new towers are linked to this as well. I'm not sure how yet, but it seems obvious to me that it is all connected. This tells me the underground is going to be absolutely massive, stretching from Hyrule Castle into the chambers of death mountain (where a new fire temple probably rests) and reaches all the way out to the West of Hyrule field towards the Hebra Mountain range.

[@keo528528]

Hold on. I will have to go back and look tonight at home, but what if the malice holes are where the Sheikah towers were. Like Ganandorf took control of them all like he did the gaurdians. After all, the castle had the Sheikah Astrology room or wataver. Myabe thats how he lifted it.

[@mdthsings1]

I have a feeling that Princess Zelda doesn't make it and that that person we're meeting in this game is Hylia's latest reincarnation. Maybe Link has to find her and help her find her powers this time. I almost feel like we may find the princess' resting place. Her message to Link that he might not be able to stop Ganondorf felt like a goodbye letter. Just sharing.

[@ianboast9928]

It would be cool to have Hyrule Radio FM in Tears of the Kingdom that you could tune into like Grand Theft Auto and listen to stuff like classic music and get weather reports

[@zipliner45]

I think the big fans could be used to build bridges between islands because they are pretty much on all the islands shown off in the video. Eventually you could have a whole Network of bridges.

[@eddieblack3652]

what happens if the giant tree in the large cave in one of the trailers is a base for those large tower structures just like the sheikha towers but instead made by Gannon's workers in the caves, also it may be that the giant malic vents with maybe have the tree/tower structed being buildout of them?

[@chubbyadler3276]

I'm still wondering about underwater exploration, or possibly another underground area where Myumoto dove into the river. If you watch as Link splashes down, the Ascend icon lights up briefly from the time after he hits to when he pops back up on the surface, as if you could use it during that time. Whether that is the trigger to "stay down" or there is a cavern underneath there, and you can warp into it before coming up, but can't once fully up remains to be seen. It could be that he "touched bottom" for a bit, since it's shallow there, and Link would have to be standing on something to warp through it.

[@atlas956]

4:48 the hammer the bokoblin is swinging looks suspiciously like a fused rock and stick… aonuma said that some enemies would be carrying fused weapons, and apparently that could be true for not just constructs. fusing seems to be a zonai ability, and it would be a bit lore breaking if any monster could do it now… i wonder whether the monsters stole their weapons from constructs? if they did, this would imply that the cave is probably somewhere on the sky islands OR that constrcuts are also a thing elsewhere.

[@TheRealNintendoKid]

well yeah, they probably are underground too considering the fact that the Zonai architecture is clearly used underground, according to the first trailer we got.

[@Goldenrose838]

I kind of had my own thoughts on the top of the box Link landed on in the gameplay trailer. It reminded me of the flying platform Link used in one of the earlier trailers. But since they looked different, I didn't really say anything. But I figured that you could use them in some type of crafting thing since they do have visual points thar look like they would go together with something else. Ei the green dots at the corners of the platform. I know this doesn't automatically mean something and can be a design choice, but it was just something that came across my mind about that specific structure.

[@shampton1515]

Yes, I do believe you are correct about the Zonai ‘building thingies’ (I have no idea what to call them) are giant fans. When I first saw them they looked like they were movable, but I couldn’t figure out why. A giant fan makes a whole lot of sense! At minimum, they are some sort of puzzle. Really enjoy your videos! Glad I found your channel.

[@wryunsavory]

Ohhh, so if those are large fans, we can fuse the little fans to the big fans, and Link will be on Only Fans

[@theraccoon513]

Regarding the construct holding the dragon-head-flamethrower and bow: I wonder if, instead of defeating that to gain those items, it's something Link can build on his own...meaning that what we're seeing isn't an enemy, but a companion Link creates to help him do battle.

[@paulnewhouse5126]

It would be cool if the only way you can enter the "malice vents" is by skydiving into them.

[@HyruleGamer]

YES

[@jaredponder4149]

Aounuma did put special emphasis on having to land on certain things from the key in the gameplay video. He could have been referring to those mysterious towers , the malice vents, or both. Who knows? I can't wait to freaking find out. I'm just imagining skydiving into one of the holes. You're free falling towards it, and you have to time your paragliding just right, but what is terrifying is the underground is probably going to be pitch-black so you could potentially be ambushed right as you land, or even intercepted by flying enemies like the winged frogs before you even enter the hole. This is going to be excellent.

[@AzureRoxe]

Swirls, mysterious civilization, symbols in the ground? Oh shit, Zonai are aliens confirmed.

[@HyruleGamer]

👀

[@mitchellbrand6251]

Here is a theory I came up with based on SuperSavajin's most recent video about Link's new arm abilities: - there are very clearly two styles of arm icons, the symbols resembling kanji with a semi circle around them (i.e. recall) and, - the icons that are more hieroglyphic in aesthetic (i.e. ultrahand, fuse, ascend) - SuperSavajin argued in the video that there's evidence of more kanji style powers yet to be revealed (refer to video) - what I noticed and am sure I'm not the only one, recall has absolutely no green shine when activated, it is slightly golden, as in the delay trailer - all the other three abilitiees shown in the gameplay trailer with the hieroglyphic aesthetic, all make the hand glow green when activated! - this is interesting because it is also theorized that the GREEN vile container and viles on the hip are associated only with the 3 mentioned abilities, and not recall - prediction: we strart the adventure with the green hand abilities just like we started with the sheikah slate abilities, and - we progressively unlock the "bracelet" abilities (i.e. recall and others) throughout the game, maybe from more traditional dungeons what do you guys think?

[@lavibe7.7.7]

That would be very interesting and it makes sense in a way that Nintendo would probably not show us all the powers unlocked! As for the Recall power, since it is glowing yellow, it might be a Hylia/Zelda power? The Goddess Hylia's color is usually yellow/gold AND she is pretty much the incarnation of Time (e.g. The Ocarina of Time only given to the Royal Family or the power to time travel in Skyward Sword) which is the theme of the Recall power

[@Levacque]

My exact quote upon reading the push notification: "Sure! You KNOW I wanna watch that shit."

[@XenoWars]

A neat secret ive only seen one video mention is that after Aonuma sneak strikes the construct, when he goes to fuse a rock to his shield, you can see the nearby sail also highlights blue, suggesting we can fuse that to our shield or weapon as well

[@pietern.216]

Those large blocks with the fan blades look like they're floating without the fans being on. I bet hitting the two dragon head decorations on those blocks moves them up or down like an elevator, ultrahand just allows you to place the elevators wherever you want

[@eileensmiller8041]

Thank you for pointing out the red spirals, that was one of the first things I noticed. Can't remember if I said that before or not. If I did, oh well I'm saying it again.

[@lindseysharon259]

When you show the art work of the construct and the dragon head there's a blade on top of it's head. Pretty sure that that's the sword Link is holding in one of the scenes from the last trailer. That might be another way we get weapons, as body parts, instead of just stealing them from enemies hands. I haven't seen anyone mention it, but I haven't had a chance to watch all the reviews yet.

[@RangerDOS]

Now you have me looking at the fan structures, my hypothesis is that they are used to move the islands, maybe they bring them together!

I just thought of something. There seems to be a new dragon in the sky, one that somewhat matches the colors of “Hylia” we’ve seen in the recent trailer. What if the dragons have a different form, a more human like form. What if that new dragon is “Hylia”’s dragon form?

[@kan_kan_1713]

Random 5 am thought b4 bed about dungeons. Ya know how in older zelda games there was a main item in each temple/dungeon. Since I'm assuming that isn't coming back, what if it was something similar, like a main weapon? Like you need a sword to defeat the boss in one dungeon and a spear for the next? Something that still breaks and works with the durability system in place, while also giving the player more than enough of said weapon for the temple. Just a thought cuz I don't think we are getting our favorite items back like the clawshots. Those would be a broken item.

[@ArcaneStrain]

Oh god, what if the Zelda timeline IS an infinite loop and the giant fans are so you can pilot the islands together to form Skyloft? 🤯

[@krishnamckay3247]

What you called fans I thought were cages, especially after Aonuma mentioned that ascend can be used to escape cages. But yea I'm hoping there's nice variety on the sky islands 🏝 It seems so, as it's beginning to look like there are dozens all across the kingdom

[@J3su5Sav32]

Upon seeing the earlier trailers where Hyrule castle was being raised up…I thought it was going to raise high up like Skyloft. Perhaps it still may happen at some point in the story 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@netweed09]

I actually think underwater exploration would sort of even 'spoil' the Purity of the ''Air / Land'' experience Tears offers. Plus - really I feel it doesn't need it; if it's in there, all Good but We've already been given so many cues and clues in the 2nd trailer Tapestry, giant Glyphs markings on the land. Caves, Sky Tornado etc. Tears also looks spectacular when you come to think of it: it's almost Zelda Kid Icarus but on a whole new level.

[@omarsanchez231]

Hey HG. I've been thinking about the fuse ability and the TOTK logo. Do you think a main part of the story will result in fusing the damaged master sword with some other type of material? Or maybe we can have the opportunity to fuse the master sword with other weapons? Like a flame sword to make a flame master sword? It's just interesting that the master sword in the logo is half "zonai-ish". What do you think? Maybe it would be an interesting video to go over the implications of fusing different weapons together.
