I'd argue it's better to have your best trailer be the final one because it keeps up the momentum going into the launch. You don't want to have the final look at your game pre-launch leave people feeling mixed.

[@labcoatgorilla6784]

Trailers getting worse over time makes me think of forspoken… I don’t need to tell you how that experiment went.

[@fleeplayTV]

or you can do like FF16 and have every single trailer be an absolute seller and keep delivering content like the state of play with even more banger and ride that hype to launch I think ff16 marketing has been stellar.

[@speedude0164]

Zelda is one of those few franchises where even if marketing makes a game look bad, you still have faith in it to succeed cause it's Zelda. If the next Sonic game was marketed with the same world as Frontiers and only a few new mechanics, there would be actual riots at SEGA headquarters.

[@McSireson]

Especially when you consider people who thought "Oh this is just an overpriced DLC" or "Can it even expand on what made BOTW good", then Nintendo goes "BAM! here you go fuckers".

[@ScorbunGame]

Also Nintendo is under a lot less pressure to have TotK be a success like they were with BOTW, the marketing could afford to be a lot more lax because of that.

[@protodot2051]

honestly, i think it makes sense that this is the best trailer. Aonuma himself that development on the game was more or less complete, so everything that they could've possibly wanted to show off was all in there, which likely was not true for the 1st or 2nd trailers.

We are unlikely heroes but us like link have to choose it. At any moment he could walk off and forget Zelda and Hyrule. But he doesn't. "How can a man die better than facing fearful odds? For the ashes of his fathers and temples of his gods."

I think the way they marketed this game was perfection. they kept the trailers minimal in the beginning and then went all out on the final one creating so much hype in the final month before the game releases. Cause right now I literally cannot wait a month for how excited I am for this. This will end up being the game of the decade no doubt

[@Draylin41]

I'm still a little curious if they'll be any Age of Calamity references somewhere or if that's just completely separate. Could be a fun tie in but I also wouldn't be surprised if they just ignored its existence since it was developed by a different studio.

[@kaarD04]

AoC is a prequel tho, like it still canon but i doubt they will reference something for it

[@Saben.C-Spoon]

Considering the game actively went against BotW's original story bu sacrificing the events of the calamity in favor of a "oh no save your friends 😢" plot, thus retconning BotW even happening, I don't imagine they could really reference anything meaningful

[@24techgamer]

I liked Age of Calamity but I think it'd be funny if the only reference to it was Sidon and Riju being like "hey remember the time we were summoned to another timeline to save the Champions and stop the Calamity" and nobody else believes them.

[@mr.awesome6011]

​@Thomas Sanchez It's not canon **spoilers** The dead king and champions in Breath of The Wild are still alive and aid Link along with the Yiga clan who sides with Hyrule in fighting a different form of Calamity Ganon. Nobody dies and it all takes place 100 years in the past. TOTK follows Breath of the Wild as we see Sidon Riju and Teba's son aiding Link, not the the original champions as they have passed on to the afterlife at the end of BOTW

[@pearlplayaa]

Well, given that you can hear the age of calamity theme when they show the champion successors, who were a huge part of AOC, it's safe to say it'll definitely be referenced

3:26 “oh Ganon is just straight” I mean, probably, but let the man decide eh?

[@GZCoo]

I would guess that maybe over the course of the development for TotK they just had more and more ideas, which increased the development time. Also the Fuse mechanic alone is pretty crazy, I guess that took a lot of time to. Figuring out how all the items work, after being fused, with what effects they will have etc and implementing it all in the game properly. Also testing all of that, so that it works properly with as little bugs and issues as possible, since it's probably something that could be easily exploited. Sure they basically used the groundwork of BotW, but from what it looks like they also added a lot and reworked parts of the map etc. How much, we will find out once its launches. They also improved the graphics and I feel like they also improved performance. So it's not like they just used BotW and just added a bit more stuff and that took them 6 years. And I mean, we talk all the time about crunch and that games shouldn't be rushed. And then we have people that complain that it takes to long? Also nintendo is kinda notorious for taking their time and only releasing something once it's ready. We didn't had any new F-Zero and Nintendo said that the reason why is, because they had no new interesting idea's to make it stand out from the previous ones. Probably the same with Star Fox etc.

[@Glitchyy07]

Max saying its been 6 years is ridiculous. For someone that boasts about how much he knows about developing games, he's clearly showing that he doesn't know that much!

[@omarthepsycho]

​@@alteredizzyit's different playing a game that looks similar to the previous one vs watching trailers for it. I'm sure it will be different enough once we get our hands on it

[@mario_maniac9368]

@@omarthepsycho yea as someone who played botw a lot it looks completely to me with different ways to play. I mean God od war and doom eternal did the same thing , and no one complained. it's just my opinion though.

[@alteredizzy]

@@omarthepsycho the gameplay and the trailers is enough to see its the same game just a few new moves and location and obviously story.

No dude, we’re in the age of delays, nothing gets released on time anymore, just remember the early hype from FF7R and KH3 and those delays. The timing is perfect. BOTW Final trailer, which is still one of the best trailers ever, released 2 months before and this trailer 1 month before.

[@LockeLeon]

This is the Majora's Mask of Breath of the Wild

[@Kickinthescience]

Will the story be as good though? Because the first BOTW’s story wasn’t as good as Ocarina of Time

[@spacecowboy3569]

​@@Kickinthescience If anything, I am banking on them fixing the 2 biggest problems of BOTW: Story and Dungeons

[@sebastiencarron1574]

Story will probably be random. Playing Legos in Hyrule might be fun for a while.

[@fleeplayTV]

@@spacecowboy3569 this is my hope the only reason why I'm looking forward to it. Now that they are building on a solid foundation this game better have amazing dungeon and expand on the old one. if this just ends up feeling like a breath of the wild expansion pack I'm going to be incredibly dissapointed.

[@Bri32675]

@@spacecowboy3569 I’m banking on it doing more than that even.

[@meteorain2940]

I say they chose a pretty good maybe not perfect time to hype people up. The problem isn't just showing anything too late but showing everything too early as well, it starts setting up unrealistic expectations as fanatics are left to brainstorm what else this "amazing game" is going to offer for too long. As a Zelda fan, I don't think I could've tolerated that especially after the absurd hype cycle of Smash Ultimate.

[@lightpit5630]

I actually checked on this channel half an hour ago to see if he reacted, guess the hype of this masterpiece of a trailer is truly unavoidable.

[@SM......]

Since playing Elden Ring I've been looking foward to this game

[@WeldonSirloin]

The trailer has some nice sax.

[@oloxhossono1956]

i had my gripes with how they’re approaching this game but BOTW was the best zelda game ever. if they’re just improving off that game, this is indeed going to be the best zelda game ever.

[@cloudtune.]

I think it makes perfect sense for this to be the final trailer. It'll keep the hype and excitement through the launch of the game. and I think all the discorse on this game helped it to stay relevant honestly. and now all the doubters have been proven wrong

[@sakurakittynoir1400]

Just because you weren't feeling the excitement for the game until the last trailer doesn't mean the rest of us didn't. Don't lump us all together with you. 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

[@thewes77]

Ganondorf is hot. The rehydration memes from the very first trailer came true.

[@sacul6470]

"6 to 12 months ago" Trailer 1 was 7 months ago 😂! Word on the street is the dev team wanted to keep more of BotW secret but lost the fight with marketing. But this time they won that fight since they are the team that put out BotW

[@hyperventalated]

I will say, in my opinion in later titles, the zelda games seems to hold back on using the main theme much, and then are able to use it to great effect because of it. Not just this trailer, but I feel that way about Skyward Sword as well. The song doesn't play the whole game, and then when you finally play "The Song of the Hero" it hits that it's a song you have known all along. Issues with the tadtones aside, i love that so much. Tldr i think zelda has learned to use its main theme quite well.

[@thisismydogkyle8834]

Similarly, in Breath of the Wild I don't think it plays anywhere else in the game except in the music for Hyrule Castle, which I, and I assume most people, didn't go into for a good 50 hours or so, it's so good.

[@sheldoncooper8199]

1:34 its Anor Londo

[@shockblast20]

I knew if Max watched this trailer, his excitement would rise.

[@juliansalazar7097]

The game is not that much different? What? You know how insane the new mechanics are and how much bigger it is? I don’t think you know how game development works Max, honestly. This is pretty insane considering it’s running on Switch still with no hardware upgrades.

[@d-jams]

I wasn't expecting a video on this from this channel, genuinely surprised

[@alexferrier5732]

I have never played a single Zelda game in my life, in 32 years.

[@MadSnake123]

Not gonna lie, as someone who loved BotW but wasn't as hyped for the sequel, as Max said, they actually did it with this trailer, this was pretty amazing.

[@RedtheEdge]

I have my copy preordered and I am SO excited for this

[@Tryhardblackguy]

I have to disagree. I honestly felt like this game made so much discourse and got people interested in the game and talking about it. “Is it DLC?” and all of the other questions and doubt. This last trailer basically proved everything wrong. I felt like they were hiding a lot of stuff intentionally. This marketing is weird on purpose

[@jordanhunter3375]

2:00 Okay, I'm thinking this person here will be like Queen/High Priestess for the Lizardos

[@Neoxon619]

As someone who was confused about how Nintendo was marketing this game, even I can agree that this trailer was definitely fantastic. If only we got something like this back in February.

[@Aaron-zl5gq]

na I disagree I think this exactly the momentum everyone needed right now going into the final weeks ..

[@NinjaRed5000]

Huh, Max doing a video on this was not something I was expecting. When was the last time he even did anything Zelda related on this channel?

[@arceptor]

I dunno but its not a bad thing

[@Zer0Ab1lity]

He mostly plays older games, including most of loz, on the secondary group channel yovideogames.

[@NinjaRed5000]

@@Zer0Ab1lity True but its rare for him to do anything Zelda related on the main channel. Not that there's anything wrong with that, its just not something he usually covers.

[@jizzledoops6789]

He played BotW when it came out

[@Draylin41]

Think the last time was when he tried to rush to the final boss of BotW back in 2017

[@MaxMarriner]

Max has been weirdly cynical about Tears of the Kingdom. Look I’m not big on BotW, but people have been losing their minds for this game for YEARS. It’s not as if folks suddenly got hyped because of this trailer, excellent though it may be.

[@allgames3185]

Goty ❤

[@inca3749]

BOTW's epic trailer was 2 months away from its release. I guess this is the trend for mainline Zelda games for now.
