Will Of The Sword - BOTW Cinematic Combat Montage

[@zb_yuhudaddy]

非常感謝各位玩家的觀看，也很榮幸能夠參與這個企劃。 當然在這之中，可能有不少玩家認為，為什麼沒有誰誰誰，誰不是也很厲害嗎？一項企劃其實無法滿足各位的心理，當然包含我們自己，即便是影片呈現的片段，仍然會對自己的表現感到有一絲的不足。 而且本計劃前前後後也發生了不少問題和矛盾，人員的問題也一直存在，非常感謝Firefly和Shibainu兩位女孩賞臉。 最後希望這個作品能夠將我們對於曠野之息的喜愛，傳達到每一位玩家的心中，並一起期待《王國之淚》能夠再次相見😊

[@tallerfrodo1262]

Translation: Thank you very much for watching, and I am honoured to be able to participate in this project. Of course, among this, many players may think, why is there no so-so-so-so, isn't so-and-so very good? In fact, a project cannot satisfy everyone's psychology, including ourselves. Even in the clips presented in the film, we still feel a little insufficient in our performance. Moreover, many problems and contradictions have occurred before and after this plan, and personnel problems have always existed. I am very grateful to Firefly and Shibainu for their kindness. Finally, I hope that this work can convey our love for Breath of the Wild to the hearts of every player, and I look forward to seeing "Tears of the Kingdom" again😊

Woe to the poor wicked soul in Hyrule who Link sets his sights on... for in Karakuri's name we will smite them where they stand, armed with the blade of evil's bane and the hopes and dreams of every champion of Hyrule! Rest now brave soul... may you find peace in the next life.

It's absolutely insane what these players can pull off in this game. I wonder what made these people want to learn how to play this well.
