Tears of the Kingdom - Classic Zelda Enemies Reimagined II

[@arinloche858]

This makes me think they should add like a monster contracting side-quest. Maybe have Kilton assign bounties for you to hunt down special monsters in caves so he can improve his shop. BOTW definitely suffered from having a massive open world, but only really 3-4 different boss variations. I don't expect something like Elden ring where there's like over 50 different boss designs in the overworld alone, but some variety definitely makes the world feel more unique and alive.

[@hiddendesire3076]

I’d love to see Iron Knuckles, Darknuts, and maybe even Darkhammers return, along with Phantoms, the spectral knights from Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks. For the Phantoms i’d love if they took on a more ghostly visage, warped spirits of warriors of ages past. As for darknuts, a malice infused twist could be interesting. Corrupted by malice and forced to slay their kindred, these battle hardened fallen knights of Hyrule seek a warriors death and the freedom from the malice for both themselves and their brothers and sisters forced into puppets of the corruption.

[@xenocross6597]

Would love all of those. And true Stalfos. Stal-moblins never cut it for me. Darknuts and Iron Knuckles are great fights, although if the Iron Knuckles are like OoT's, they'd get Flurry Rushed like there's no tomorrow

[@CuriousKey]

@@xenocross6597 having them be straight up immune to direct attacks (including the flurry rush) could be an interesting way of bringing back some puzzle elements. I felt BotW combat relied far too heavily on just dealing lots of damage, so that almost any combat could be brute forced. I'd like Darknuts to bring back some of that puzzle element and need to be tackled in more particular ways.

[@bloopertrooper4452]

I would love malice to be the reason for some of the monsters returning in tears of the kingdom. Imagine visiting a part of the map that you knew in breath of the wild that had wolves and they've been into hideous, perpetually starving mockeries of themselves that howl to call the rest of their pack to them, desperately still trying to go on as normal despite what has happened to them (wolfos).

[@gagamer7251]

Send in the Darknuts. Let’s have a good, old fashioned sword fight!

[@devonm042690]

You know what would be interesting? Human-sized, shield bearing enemies that could parry. I mean, Twilight Princess's Darknuts could perform Link's Shield Attack.

[@HollowHylian]

If we're including bosses, I would love to see Stallord come back. It'd be a really good opportunity to see what the rest of him looks like.

[@mariustan9275]

Definitely. Imagine going into the hole where Master Kohga fell, going through a dungeon, then finding an empty sandy ruin. Then the ground starts shaking, and Stallord comes out

[@bradleyadams5252]

And Master Khoga's ghost would guide you through the ruins!

[@That_One_Xatu]

To me, I always thought he looked like the partial skeleton of a giant Lynel. He has horns, the remnants of a mane, and if you compare his skull to existing animals, it looks kind of like a feline's. I think it'd not only be super cool, but super fitting to fight him as a towering skeletal colossus - a fallen lord of the Lynel, risen again by Ganon's evil.

[@christocanoid]

Imagine a Stallord full form now, massive dinosaur creature chasing after you through the desert, and it has a necromantic roar maybe?

[@selimb5235]

Yess, me too.

[@penprp]

I really appreciate how you referred to the Nejirons as "twisted," given that's what "nejire" means. Nice little reference in an amazing speculative video.

[@RogueK]

I would love a reimagined Dead Hand. Maybe one made of malice, being able to sprout its body and hands out of pools of malice (including some on the walls). Think it'd be real neat fighting a creepy monster like this as it's able to essentially appear almost anywhere, able to grab you at anytime

[@lucidelockhart9168]

[@PaulFisher]

It’s fun to go back post-release and see what people wanted and expected before _Tears_ came out. I like how the Bubbulfrog is the polar opposite of your idea for the Bubble-goofy, shy, vulnerable, and completely harmless.

[@FunvoltGunvolt]

Even though I would've liked to see a more detailed design for your Aquamentus design, the thought of fighting a giant dragon in the dark and the only thing you could see is just it's silhouette (64 Ganon style) would be terrifying

[@Apolleh]

I like to imagine that Aquamentus tries to attack from a distance and thus is much more obscured by the fog so its harder to keep track of to the point where you can't lock onto it, but getting closer to it to fight better prompts the beast to be more aggressive in its assault either by trying to impale link with its horn or send him flying back with a swipe of its tail so it can continue a ranged barrage.

[@KingsBard]

Maybe it attacks in the fog for the first half but then it's starts spitting fire and you can now see the beast

[@RabidNemo]

I would cry if they brought back the helmerock king

[@anonymousfellow8879]

Honestly, Rocs in general. Helmrock King, Evil Eagle, a variety of more common enemies like helmrocks but their size and power is as diverse as the Blins have become Roc’s Feather (and Roc’s Cape) is a *classic* Zelda Item, but we don’t see Rocs at all outside of windwaker and Boss/Miniboss Enemies If You Squint

Imagine you're on a bridge similar to the ones in Faron region and 3 GIANT Serpentine heads rise from the water below, all breathing a different element: Fire, Ice, and Lightning. Two heads will start to set up an attack by breathing ice and fire creating a thick mist, which the third head will conduct across the entire bridge.

[@devilbringer1102]

Your prays were answered

[@kingofsnacks8566]

Nintendo had the same idea apparently

[@Loop_Kat]

Wallmasters would be an interesting one in the context of Sheikah technology, imagine if the Sheikah cut hands off of giant creatures and then bound them into eternal servitude via some sort of autonomous, mechanical brace with a design similar to the legs of a Guardian (maybe even a precursor to full-blown Guardian tech). Not only would you be forced to contend with the Wallmasters' typical, stealthy, predatory behavior, but if you ever get a chance to really examine it, you'd realize it's doing so against its will, sometimes twitching and struggling against its relentless restraints, even in undeath

[@ShadowSkyX]

Speaking of wallmasters, they seem to be powered by blue energy, seen above the wrist. In fact going back to ocarina of time, all three power sources exist from botw/2. Renaming magic as stamina/spirit energy still makes a lot of sense. The green liquid found only underneath the graveyard that acts similar to malice, the blue flame, and the fact the lens of truth is not only colored the same as malice but both that and the mask of truth share malice shaped eyes. Then there's the "lava" beneath ganon's castle. The red "ice" being canceled out by blue flames holds up to sheikah energy - powered by blue flames - - which the master sword glows in the final fight. My hot take these days is that ganondorf had injected malice into himself at some point during those 7 years and actually died in the final fight. While he is "immortal" and has the rage to keep it up, this made him weak to the master sword. The malice works given his understandable rage at losing. I can see ganondorf looking for a way to live as possible so he could rule hyrule forever. Urbosa's words that the gerudo do not tolerate leaving unfinished business actually explains a lot about ganondorf. Somewhat unrelated I think there is another mirror of twilight beneath the castle in twilight princess. The pyramid seal acts like the pillars in botw and showed up for the same reason. It wasn't ganon locking us out from coming back, it was designed in keeping ganon from leaving and protecting the rest of hyrule.

[@BR-jw7pm]

I miss the Deku Scrubs and would just like to see them return to the series! Also, didn't expect the Nejirons to appear...

Personally, I think the Vire is overdue for its 3D debut. For those who don’t know, Vires are big gargoyle-esque relatives to keese, when defeated they even explode into keese. They made their appearance in the original Zelda and the oracle games Another enemy I would like to see return is Arghus (the evil jellyfish creature from a link to the past (not to be confused with barinade or vitreous, tho I wouldn’t mind seeing them return either))

[@HumanSculpture]

[@Borgdrohne13]

If there is one enemy, I want to see return, than it's the soldiers from aLttP, aLbW and Four Swords Adventures. Perhaps empty armorpieces, corrupted by malice or malice revived corpses of soldiers (like we saw in the newest trailer). Another plus is, that you have a solid reason for palette swaps (different ranks of the soldiers). Also they can be normal enemys, who challenge Link with the sword.

[@ChosenByCover]

I'd like to see Deku Babas or some sort of plant based enemy. They could've infested part of Faron woods or even have elemental depending on the region they're infesting trees in. Also poes would be really interesting throughout BotW/TotK Hyrule, maybe incorporating it to a Kilton side quest. I'd love the idea that you could only defeat them with specific weapons or find them at specific times in certain places. The setting in the sky would also be an opportunity for Aeralfos to return as 'regular' enemies, like the Lizalfos on the ground.

[@drnarwhal2888]

Deku babas disguised as bananna trees. The perfect enemy to face off against the yiga clan

[@thezonaiarchitect]

the Helmaroc King boss battle should have one of those infinite updrafts similar to Revali's training ground, so you basically have infinite stamina (because iirc in the training ground your stamina regenerates midair). To make it seem less random we can say that when the Helmaroc King's wings flap, they cause a swirling ring of wind to surround them.

[@joetyrant4713]

I would have taken a smaller map with more enemy variety. BotW got pretty bland after a while. Discovering a new area only to find more of the same enemies really killed a bunch of the hype.

[@a.jthomas6132]

What I am hoping to see in Tears of the Kingdom is the return of the Successors of Hyrule’s Champions(Sidon, Yunobo, Teba and Riju). Instead being sidelined, they should be fighting along side Link as each have build confidence & strength to defend Hyrule from the very threat each shared. Maybe on a side quest perhaps since Death Mountain is infested with Ganondorf’s malice. Also, the sequel of Breath of the Wild needs to confirm whether if they remember their victories from the Age of Calamity timeline since each are pulled to this reality to save this version of the Champions, Link and Zelda. Just like Ocarina of Time, changing the past can create two or three diverted timelines. It is complicated but time travel has always been a part of the Legend of Zelda lore.

Redeads definitely need to return. While the Stal enemies were fun, they were only of the living enemies in the game, and only a handful of them. But imagine you're traveling the roads and try to forage for some goods, or maybe find a place to start a fire, then hear a fear inducing shriek before the gangly zombies appear. Also, just imagine if something like a Lynel could have a stal variant. It's even swifter due to the loss of its flesh and muscle, and can break apart, letting its legs rampage around while the torso either floats around trying to hit you with a weapon, or just lumbers towards on its bony fingers

[@dqixsoss7436]

Phantoms would be amazing. I’d be cool if they kept the whole “cannot be slain” thing (the only time we’ve seen them die is being crushed by boulders, falling into bottomless pits or attacked in the back with the Phantom Sword (+ maybe Lokomo Sword idk)). It’d be fun if they were in certain areas of the world and they can do massive damage to you and you can’t really fight back, only slow them down. The only way you can hope to kill them is if you have fully reforged the master sword. So for 90% of the game they’re a real challenge to get around

I loved your first reimagined enemies video, and this one is really good too. I think your artistry is an underutilized, or at least underappreciated skill of yours. My favorite of your depictions here might be the Bubbles, with the green spiritual runes trailing behind them. I also find your depiction of Nejirons to be quite tragic, a very sad and terrible fate for such gentle, warm creatures, very befitting for a darker game.

I love how these bots aren't even trying to be realistic, it's so dumb. XD

[@oguzkan6765]

You almost predicted Aquamentus, there was a giant dragon in the latest trailer. Tho it looked more like Gleeok

[@desertyoshi_plays]

A part 2! This is great! I love the creepy reimagining of certain enemies. I would hate to see a wallmaster start chasing me. Hoping you would consider Deku/Boko Babas, Leevers, maybe something as wild as a Real Bombchu.

[@jandn2002]

I think that one of BOTW's few problems was the enemy variety, especially bosses. I feel they could do so many cool things with more enemies. My list would be darknuts and helmaroc king,

[@parkerorosz9352]

I have a story /lore reason for why Aquamentus is here. "Due to the malice pouring out from the caverns below Hyrule, monsters like the Hellmasaur King and others emerge from the underground. Link gets a side quest from the Korok that some Korok have been reported missing and they have been seeing something large within the fog of Korok Forest. As well as this, Farmers and soldiers from the newly rebuilt Hyrule Kingdom report sightings of seeing a unicorn but much larger..."

The backstory behind the Nejirons you made makes my skin crawl… the gorons that were once friendly and full of emotion now turned into statues and even though they’re living they explode which would most definitely kill them is just depressing to think of

[@jasonx5292]

_That picture of Link & the Helmaroc King is amazing, so cool!_

[@nuggetlordalmighty1865]

The artwork in this video has a surreal and very intimidating atmosphere I love it

[@7Write4This9Heart7]

This is super interesting! Your ideas, writing, and art are awesome! Hope you're right on a lot of these, if not all of them! :D

I know we’ve all said this before, but shadow link deserves more spotlight honestly, from what I’ve seen he hasn’t been really explained and I think it would be a really fun boss fight especially with new runes

[@AdventureRuben]

Bringing out my popcorn for part III. You are without a doubt my favourite Zelda content creator. After so many years you keep surprising. Can't way to see more videos on all kinda topics when the game comes out.

[@Jess-I-Guess]

Your talent in art pairs so well with your talent in story-telling, I honestly wish I could play a Zelda game full of these enemies with the backstory and designs you come up with. Hopefully we'll at least get some of them soon!

[@monarchdodora]

Fantastic work on both the ideas and the art just like in the first video. It would be amazing to see even a couple of these come to fruition in some way, especially the undead enemies which were strangely underrepresented in BOTW. My favorite of these was Aquamentus, this would be a really great and spooky new take on it! TOTK has a lot of opportunity to bring back and...breathe new life into older monsters like BOTW did for the Lynels, so fingers crossed that it takes it.

[@supremeoverlorde2109]

I love your artwork and your imagination! Can't wait to see what kinds of enemies appear in Tears of the Kingdom.

[@FJLink]

Just wanted to say that I really love this video concept, and your ideas to contextualize them in the world of TotK are amazing. I'd love to see more of these, even after the game comes out.

[@jackmeredith6490]

10/10 for the lore you wrote for each enemy. Makes them feel like they’re already confirmed for the game

[@VoiceActorYourNameHere]

The Nejirons are some of my favorite Zelda enemies, so I was so happy to see them covered!!

[@williamwood946]

that art looks fantastic

[@sudarshanseshadri5504]

It’s AI generated art
