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.

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.

[@GamesPlayedCasuallyHardcore]

[@selimb5235]

[@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.

[@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.

[@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]

[@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

[@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...

This might've aged... Not as well as some of us hoped, but at least we got something much, MUCH scarier than wallmasters.

[@WillemijnStokvis-c2t]

yes thats treu gloom hands

[@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.

[@pubertdefrog]

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))

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.

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.

[@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

With the foresight of all final trailers and footage, but still before the game releases, I believe that the malice at Death Mountain afflicted at least 1 Goron or took all the onslaught and became something like Twilight Princess's FYRUS from the Goron Mines.

I greatly enjoy these videos! It’s more about ideas than theories and it’s something everyone can agree would be pretty cool. Enemies I think would be cool? - Wosu (like dog Lynels) - Giant octoroks - Iron Knuckles / Gerudo soldiers (turned loyal to Ganondorf) - Deku Baba - Thunderbirds?

[@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.

[@Saben.C-Spoon]

please, keep doing as many of these as you can, I love the lore you give them

[@Wolffman109]

1:46 I personally think that Helmaroc King represents Wind Waker too much for it to reappear in anything other than a spinoff like Hyrule Warriors. I personally think Skyward Sword's Furnixes would probably be a better fit here. Love your artwork, though.

[@cryptidbunny8791]

These are all great, but the Bubble design made me say, "oh wow" out loud, I like how it incorporates the swirly green designs from the trailer. The last entry was also an unexpected, dark, and very cool concept.

[@duhimdave]

Dude!!! The lore you came up with for the Nejirons is dope as hell!!

[@a.jthomas6132]

Those are very interesting artwork you pulled. And the description of Bubbles fits well.

[@xnorcrossx]

Zelda needs to start paying you for this! I love your designs. They’re so creative

[@BlimpMcGee]

Great art man, can't believe how talented you are.

[@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!

[@facilityhues]

The concept art you made of bubbles is so terrifying but I can't help but laugh every time you refer to the flaming green skull as "Bubbles"

[@kellergordon1315]

You’re such a great creator. Your writing is a treat

[@pantalonesdemuerto7960]

I always thought that BotW would have been perfect for brining back the 'carnivorous plant' style enemies like Deku Babas or Manhandla. Also, I can definitely get behind bringing back more classic dragon baddies. If not Aquamentus, then perhaps Gleeock or Trinexx.

[@diegogutierrezhernandez462]

I saw your part one video recently and I really wanted to see more of your ideas, so I was so excited when I saw the notification

[@crisvgs]

One enemy that I think would fit perfectly in BOTW are the Wolfos. In TOTK, they could return as wolves corrupted by Ganon's malice. Or better yet, they could be travelers that transform into Wolfos at night, just image being walking in Hyrule during the night and you see a lost traveler, at first you think is another Yiga member, but when trying to speak with them, they transform into Wolfos in front of your eyes and start attacking you. Other enemy I would love to see are the Darknuts, imagine an enemy who has the same combat skill as Link, and the only way to defeat them is by pure ability, no weak point, just sword and shield against sword and shield. Man, I'm REALLY excited for this game

[@toonman5099]

3:55 - 5:40 Actually now that I think about it, the elemental Keese also sort of act as the "new" bubble as far as that weapon function, at least the electric keese where if they zap you, you drop your weapon.

[@caylinmiraki3267]

When you talked about those Bubbles i imagined how cool it would be, if those massive stone(?) skulls, some boko camps use as their shelter/base, somehow became a giant version of those monsters. Not in a spirit like way as imagined in the video, but more like the way that these skulls become possessed like seen in previous Zelda games. Maybe they become infested with malice or this spiritual green glow and after you cleared out the bokos and you're about to leave it suddenly starts to glow and begins to move up from the ground with a terrifying howl, trying to eat you alive and after escaping it's maw you have to face off against this massive flying Skull. There are just so many possibilities in wich way the second installment can go. I can't wait to explore this familliar but new Hyrule myself. Thanks for your videos, they keep me so hyped!

[@Erifire]

These sorts of videos have always been my favorite from your channel

[@bradhedgehog12]

Oh no.....0:17 Not that Helmassuar King again!
