[@pigaboyAKAthecoolestguyonearth]

What i find weirder than Link opening the Temple of Time door with the Champion's Tunic is how in 0:50 Link, with the Champion's Tunic, jumps from the sky island while the cloud barrier from the start of the game is seemingly still present. I wonder if they did that only to not show too much of the map or if the game actually worked like that at some point.

imagine if all the dungeons in TotK have a similar mechanism of them being available to enter like that once you have the abilities to reach them (whether it's by having proper items or equipment or by unlocking seals, etc), and you explore them with increasing freedom as you solve puzzle and battle enemies, basically them being seamlessly embedded into the environment... aaaaaaaaah whatever it ends up being, one thing is sure, this game is gonna be awesome!!!!

Is this harder than botw

[@SS-xs1tg]

It would have been stupid of them not to utilize this world again...but I just hope Nintendo manages to make exploring it again fun. Exploration was a massive reason for the success of BotW

[@ekdukes]

That’s what I was just thinking. I haven’t watched the trailer since its release, but I realized the map looks similar and a tiny part of me got scared that here won’t be as much exploration (besides the floating continents above). I’m sure my anxieties will feel silly by time of release since they’ve been working on this for 5 years, I just hope it’s as good as we’re hoping it to be

[@skyriotAndKadeGaming]

I disagree, while reusing this world in new ways would've been fun, they could've made an entirely new world

[@user-xh6jx9kl6w]

@@ekdukes what you think with the new trailer? It’s underwhelming for me not gonna lie

[@ekdukes]

@@user-xh6jx9kl6w It needs to be noted that this is my first time experiencing the release of a Zelda game, as I didn't get a Switch until late 2020 and didn't even buy BOTW until over a year after that, so I'm a baby when it comes to my fandom, and I don’t know what the hype felt like when BOTW came out. That said, I watched the trailer 10 times in a row (I'm obsessed with the music at the end, especially the backwards voices) and feel like I've sat with it long enough to pick up on a lot of things. The first watch through, I felt disappointed because I saw Hateno Village looking essentially the same and realized there may not be the level of exploration I had in my experience with BOTW. I know that's why a lot of people loved BOTW - how open world it was and the excitement of discovering a new region - and I'm definitely in that category. I was underwhelmed by the monsters I saw because a lot of them looked like they had derpy hats or horns on them. It took several watch-throughs to see that there were indeed new enemies I'd missed, so for those I'm excited. The underground region looks cool af and I hope the underground world is essentially as expansive and explorative as upper Hyrule. The car made me laugh, the air balloon was interesting, but it's obviously hard for me to not compare what little knowledge I have of it to the breadth of knowledge I have about BOTW. In the end, I'm ecstatic and love how dark it looks, love the Ganon VO, love the speculation around how Ganon reincarnates. Sorry for my diatribe lol

[@ekdukes]

@@skyriotAndKadeGaming Yeah, I feel kinda the same ^ I would have preferred a brand new world entirely because I love the exploration in BOTW the most. BOTW is the first kind of game of its type I've ever played - I'm more of a Stardew/Animal Crossing kind of gamer - and I've grown to enjoy combat as I learn how to play it right. But the best feelings have been stumbling across new little worlds I didn't know existed, like Korok Forest. I genuinely had no idea what I was walking into (BOTW is my first Zelda game), or when I finally found Goron City after searching for days, or how daring I felt exploring Hyrule Castle before having defeated all of the Divine Beasts, only to stumble upon Ganon accidentally and defeating him my first try (that was a RUSH of emotions, and I will never forget how incredible that felt, I was in tears). So yeah, all of that being said, I hope they surprise us big time, and part of me hopes it's even better than BOTW.
