You can choose to discard a weapon when opening a chest with a full inventory, you don’t have to close it discard one from your inventory and re open it anymore. Thank god, that was such an annoying thing in the first game.

You can tell it runs better than the first game because they didn't have to worry about it running on the Wii U.

[@leonro]

More like they had more time to optimise it. Also, Zelda BotW ran very well if you avoided a few areas, and Nintendo definitely wouldn't allow the press to showcase the game early using those places where the game struggles. And I'm still rather annoyed that BotW was gimped on Wii U and cut all gamepad functionality because it had to also release on Switch. Imagine if Twilight Princess on Gamecube didn't give you free camera control because you couldn't do it on the Wii either...

[@helmi5045]

@@leonro It actually struggles A LOT in Zeltiks gameplay for whatever reason

[@smugcat723]

​@@leonro this is literally my exact viewpoint dude. They screwed over every Nintendo fan who bought a Wii U just for Zelda. Wind Waker HD and TP HD had great gamepad features that we expected for the next Zelda game.

if i’m not mistaken, couldn’t you just do something similar in botw by throwing an item or dropping it and picking up another? so they basically eliminated those steps. which is good. i am impressed so far. wish they would have done more with koroks, guess we will see. still hoping this game has both dungeons and shrines. very cool though.

[@ashleycurzon6348]

[@just__jt]

I’ll never get these stupid DLC claims, “Oh it’s just BOTW with new abilities”, “So lazy same map and koroks are back” yeah that’s what a direct sequel is. I swear these people would have a brain aneurysm if they ever saw the Yakuza series. All of those games are masterpieces and each game feels unique and different from one another and yet most of them reuse engines, sound effects, UI, and even collectables which are Locker Keys. They all have the same map which is Kamurocho, and the only changes to it each game are the restaurants and minigames. Yeah 0, 3, 5, 6, and 7 have different areas but they all still have Kamurocho, just like how TOTK has the sky and caves but the same Hyrule. What separates a new game from DLC is tone, length, and story. Even if TOTK was DLC, what difference would that make? If they make an entire new game’s worth of DLC for BOTW, do you really expect it to be cheaper? What do you gain from claiming TOTK is DLC?

[@Neko_Mario]

Exactly. I don't even take those claims seriously. It's like a bot algorithm spamming the same copy paste statements that funny enough the last trailer alone completely destroys. Let alone the artbooks and developer statements about the old parts of the overworld being massively overhauled. Let's also not forgot the equally stupid claims of "it's not t r u e Zelda because not Ocarina of Time formula".

I didn't realize how much I hated gathering Korok seeds until I found myself very visceraly and negatively reacting to it a few seconds ago... A very fascinating chain of reactions rapidly following each other in the space of a few seconds. First my stomach turned at the familiar sound, then I felt general disgust as the leaves burnt and the stone I dreaded would be there, was, indeed sitting there. Then self-reassurance, I thought something else or nothing at all would appear as the stone was lifted, denial as the Korok text started populating the text box and then, I was suprised at myself yelling obscenities at the cellphone screen in annoyance. Yeah, a little over the top, but one can't always control how one feels towards god darned freaking Korok seeds! Good thing that rock got appropriately placed over that irchsome little head, that provided some degrer of relief. Can't wait for the game to be out!

[@Memes_F]

@@superbowyiming No, some partes like bokobling fight is the same, the 75% of every gameplay is The same, they use eagle whit rocket, they use bomb attach to a arrow to shoot boko, and some more, You just need watch more "gameplays" and you gonna see it.

[@fgnnugget_ate-_-5692]

I have 70$ saved up and on may 12 im gonna go purchase the game

[@nibroc06]

Why not preorder it

[@fgnnugget_ate-_-5692]

@@nibroc06 That’s actually a good idea thanks bro

[@Neko_Mario]

@ganthet the wise returns What if they or me or anyone else already played Majora's Mask? And maybe, God forbid, enjoy the more open world style Zelda's? Especially when it doesn't just use the Ocarina of Time formula yet again.

[@joshuazuckermann]

I haven’t heard anyone talk about some of the crazy new arrows. The blue chu jelly is a water arrow!! And the Keene wing makes your arrow fly straight?!? amazing! My archer skills from BOTW gonna go crazy in TOTK

8:40 blew my mans to smithereens

[@evagarcia865]

I love the boss bokoblin so much, he’s a chonky boi

[@josephburke2234]

Completionists are gonna be so glad the korok seeds are back

[@DemonWhisper1]

Good news, there's 1800 korok seeds in this game

[@Tanashee]

Loving the fact you can throw the actual items in your inventory versus just holding and dropping them

[@Tanashee]

but some of the decisions made in this video were... a choice. lol. But it is interesting to see how trial and error can be in this game. Like when they made the flying ship of cells fans and a rocket once the rocket expired the two fans in the front were too powerful which is why it capsized. That same idea with maybe 4 at equal distance might work better.

[@KM-hk8tc]

I snickered at more than a few things here. Favourite gameplay I’ve seen all day. I love how you just played and didn’t comment throughout. It felt like I was playing and not enviously watching another.

[@HowToPayTaxes]

4:25 ARE. YOU. KIDDING. ME. I JUST FINISHED COLLECTING THEM ALL IN BOTW YESTERDAY AND IM DEAD SERIOUS

[@jeanpaulmedellin]

I'm gonna go crazy with this game, there so much potential! And I'll definitely create dragon arrows, mark my words.

[@tbmdd]

Words cannot describe how excited I am to play this game! I just picked up my TOTK OLED this morning! Pro Controller, CE, and amiibo are next!

[@tomsimmons7673]

Me: sees a korok puzzle: 😢 Drops the rock on the Koroks head Me: 😂

[@SeddyAm]

Fuse the rock with stick and smash it to korok better this time 😁

[@loose-hotline5026]

Tbh I was hoping for more music as you wondered around

[@kingkrysen]

Same

[@just_v3rd4nt]

I didn't think it was possible to be THIS hyped for a video game, but I was wrong this looks hella fun

[@kylerpointerify]

It looks exactly like BOTW though... just play that game lol

[@BlightBreedOfficial]

@@kylerpointerify That’s like saying Halo 2 looks exactly the same as Halo 1. Go play that then. The logic doesn’t work. Clearly the game is built off the same engine and has the same graphics style, but it’s basically a totally different game.

[@nibroc06]

​@@BlightBreedOfficial couldn't have said it better myself

[@jordangeer8964]

Fr, before the final trailer I was jus taking it on good faith that the game would be good. Now every day that game isn’t out yet feels like a week

[@jamilf9947]

@@kylerpointerify this is the most dumb logic i’ve ever seen . what did you expect from a direct sequel? a new art style? be grateful that the world looks fresh and the mechanics are innovative and fun

[@goboreal]

so excited to play this!! its a bit weird that the korok dialogue is the same from botw though

[@Nintendofan91]

I hope there’s a logical explanation to this lol

[@ChaoSTrophicS]

Because it's basically BOTW 2.0

[@Neko_Mario]

Maybe because these Koroks were stuck on those islands the whole time? They can finally see the surface again lol.

[@CharriiiLandak]

When Zelda do crossovers with Bad Piggies this is the final product

[@adamharris8353]

did anyone else notice the momentum at 5:40. That detail is sick

[@face_nemesis]

4:41 very important you can still drop the rock on the koroks head after you find them. 100% getting this game now im sold

[@ribbonbows4321]

The ambient sky island music is soothing and unnerving all at once…

[@thatguymarvin1466]

Dropping the rock on the Korok like any true hero of Hyrule, 10/10

[@daniel8444]

Goddammit. I just finished getting the 900th Korok in my BotW playthrough. Now the little bastards are hiding in the sky.

[@Neko_Mario]

More "Yahaha!" incoming.

[@A-ROD-oe8wl]

4:41 a man of culture

[@jow_andrea]

We can see from other's gameplay on the Watergate puzzle where they use recall ability to open the gate while Alex use Ultrahand to stick the gate together to a wood trunk

[@RP-mp4ow]

Man, the ambient music is even better than botw. That alone is selling me on this game

[@philipsssthao6279]

Looks the same as BOTW. Idk, same animations, graphics but with some new gameplay mechanics.

[@kelvinsmith6704]

I can't wait to see the interesting houses and mechs people are going to build

[@thewardenofoz3324]

Yeah I bet. Only for them to last 20 seconds. kek

[@BenAstridge]

2:59 kinda wish they didn’t cut away here. What happens if link messes up the flying segment and falls from here? Does he get reset at a checkpoint at the plane? Does he have to rebuild the plane bc it crashed? Does he go back to ground level and have to find a route all the way up on his own? And Will this all cause a point of frustration or monotony for players? I found having to chop trees to find a korok leaf to blow wind into a sail a VERY cool idea but when the novelty wore off it felt like a very inefficient and slow method of travel. The vehicles look AMAZING here, very cool idea and by far my fav bit. I just pray they aren’t ALL completely combusting after one single use and that they do actually speed up travel. The game looks like it’s gonna redefine a new era of games and spawn a new bunch of clones but i still have one or two small concerns.

[@christopherbuckley11]

How often were you on boats in BoTW? Also do the leaves break from using them for wind? I never thought so. Never had a problem with the leaves

[@Neko_Mario]

There is a feature they weren't allowed to show for quick building things you've made before. It was mentioned in Nintendo Life's other video on this.

[@whostolecarlosrox]

I got a bit teary eyed just skimming through this and seeing that bomb item. Every single item you can use looks awesome. Incredible.

[@Waikuteru]

Wow, even more footage!

[@SchneeflockeMonsoon]

_Sees Korok_ “NOOOOOOOO!”

[@sylux70]

Is that a longitude, latitude, and elevation on the Mini map?
