Zelda Tears of the Kingdom - Time Reversal BREAKDOWN

[@Croton]

What are your guyses thoughts about how Surface to Sky travel will work in Tears of the Kingdom? Let me know, I think there's a lot of amazing theories out there!!

[@xelemental6207]

I think there’s still gonna be the shrines were you can warp to the islands but also that time warp mechanic as well and potentially the glider will get an upgrade that lets you fly for a set amount of time

[@merjoaquin]

I just want the wind bombs to still be there :_)

[@Croton]

​@@xelemental6207 Some sort of warping mechanic makes sense! Maybe instead of ancient sheikah shrines cause that stuff seems to be getting phased out, it'll have a zonai/green magic alternative!

[@xelemental6207]

@@Croton yeah they can put a new spin on shrines also how do you think the divine beasts will work? Or do you think they just won’t have them?

[@tallerfrodo1262]

there might be a "shrine of resurrection" temple above anything else that will be the tutorial state, where, once you have finished that, you can sky-dive to other islands (but imagine that fall damage)

[@platinum1161]

I think that rather than “original position” objects will be able to be brought back to the last location where they were motionless. This makes things a lot easier from a development standpoint, and I think is much more likely from a gameplay standpoint as well.

[@Croton]

Yes! Since it's tracking mainly direction and movement, it makes sense that the thing you would reverse would go back to the last still point it had. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense if you moved something multiple times in a row to be able to revert all that history at once, seamlessly cutting out the gaps in between (like a boulder or barrel)

[@itsalwysabby]

[@sagacious03]

This is a really neat look! It's nice to see the mechanics analyzed like this. I recall it seeming like a lot of people didn't like how the newest trailer didn't show much gameplay, but I think this shows that with some thought, we can determine a good amount. (Even if it's still not fully satisfying for many.) Thanks for uploading!

[@Croton]

I prefer that they show less gameplay to leave more surprises for when it comes out! So the stuff that we do have, we can appreciate more and break down to interpret our own ways till then! Thank you glad you liked the video 😄

[@diamonddotzip5678]

Let's hope they actually include the trailer song in the game this time

[@Croton]

ALWAYS! The melody is very good, its definitely gonna serve as a good story motif to play during the cutscenes as well

[@Reacted1991]

well, I think there is a lot of puzzle potential with the sky rocks. I also think a good chunk of the sky islands are going to work like the shiekah shrines in botw. each island is a little mini-dungeon you need to solve to get a reward. that's possibly what we saw in the trailer where link pulled out the master sword and collected that glowing gold thing. who knows maybe that glowing thing was a tear that could be used to upgrade something kind of like the orbs the monks gave us. I think quite a few of these islands are going to be entered by stumbling upon the rubble. and maybe you might have to use the sky rock on the ground, to solve some of the puzzles on the sky islands above or vice versa you could knock down a chunk of the sky island to fall on the ground to solve a puzzle down there maybe breaking a hole into a cracked part of the ground giving you access to a cave of sorts and then that same rock could be used as your way back up so we wouldn't just use them as a form of transportation but as a tool. maybe there could be a side quest where we turn a group of small sky islands into one big sky island attaching a bunch of sky rocks on the ground to the islands above.

[@not-german6054]

@Croton I think it will. With all the new mechanics and abilitys that already have been introduced. And now that we know that the sky islands and the overworld are the same area and not seperated between loading zones it's even better! Anyway, I am also very excited for the game and will probably pre-order it, I only do that if I am REALLY excited for a game (like Splatoon 3) so that say something. In the first game the devs really payed attention to detail and I hope they will continue this trend in the sequel.

[@maxrn3923]

@@Croton same here! Hoping for underground...

[@austindreemurr922]

Time reversal is my favorite gimmick in games. Like those timeshift stone in skyward sword

[@Sindraug25]

That stone chunk being perfectly between those four pillars tells me that it fell long, long ago, and that the Zonai built those pillars around it after it fell.

[@Hyrule-Postman]

that's an interesting thought about the rock chunk from the sky, maybe they'll be an acces point to new sky island. or maybe they'll be shortcut for island you've already visited but you have to manually break a chunk of rock to create that shortcut( much like the tree trunk in SS)

[@Croton]

Interesting thought on that! Sending down pieces to use as shortcuts later, kinda like creating your own fast travel points!

[@Hyrule-Postman]

That could help prevent missing when a piece fall because you were not looking there, but you mention audio cue to help prevent that. Also a small "cutscene" or forced focus on that point of interest ( with camera slide from where it was before to where it happen and not just camera teleport of course) would be good option if it's an automatic event.

[@researchinbreeder]

@@Hyrule-Postman I can see the first one doing this, but taking control away from the player like that goes against the BotW (and presumably the TotK) design philosophy

[@Hyrule-Postman]

@@researchinbreeder absolutely, thats why it has to be super obvious to not miss it or you do it yourself.

[@kacheek9101]

I'm curious about that large rune glowing on a rock outcropping at 6:42 When I saw that in the teaser trailer, I thought it was a possible landing point for the 'bird' Link summons

[@vandercroix]

[@Croton]

I appreciate it! 😄

[@nellie8653]

uscing tears of the kingdom music for the intro i thank is better then before! great vid botw im a long time fan! BIG HYPE for totk!

[@jlashombjr]

Maybe the chunks are the new collectible like korok seeds. You have to find the missing pieces of islands and send them back up, similar to goddess cubes in Skyward Sword. Perhaps, once they are up they stay there, and the drop/phasing mechanic is how you reuse spots that you already found. When the piece returns to the sky it leave behind that little puddle that seems required to use the upward phasing power.

[@JohnAllen-po5wd]

Do you think the time reversal rune will have a meter? Like with stamina. And as you progress more in the game, that meter wheel for time reversal becomes greater so you can get to "higher" (for example) areas?

[@Croton]

I'm not too sure, I think if this is the case then the maxed version would let you bring an object back to it's origin, with tiers before getting closer and closer to that Personally though, I was thinking that if this would be upgradable, it would only change the amount of things you can send back in time, such as enemies instead of only objects (just like the upgraded stasis rune)

[@Omegaman87272]

@@Croton it would be broken if you can send enemies back in time what if your trying to be sneaky but fail and an enemy wakes up you just put them back to sleep and then do it over.

[@Croton]

In Breath of the wild you can just quickly run out of their detection range and sneak back and try again easily! Single enemies are already easy to stealth strike regardless, honestly reversing would just make it even cooler in the late game! also, reversing time wouldn't be easy for redoing stealth strikes with other enemies around anyways, because when you try to set it up you'll probably get whacked by the other enemies that detected you

[@richardmahn7589]

Croton, I think around 5:35 you hinted at what maybe there could be so you DON'T have to see the piece fall from the sky, but simply a puzzle that, once you solve, it is clear the piece you need to reverse is right in front of you. Yet as we see in the trailer, some pieces, which are not in the same place in BOTW, are seemingly right out in the open, so not sure if there would be a puzzle or challenge to get to them and use them.

[@Croton]

I've seen those spare pieces! But some of them are "stuck" in the ground and act more as ruins, which probably would be uninteractable. But smaller, loose objects can be interacted with! (Similar to how you can only stasis loose boulders in botw but not other bigger structures of such) The piece that fell out of the sky is a smaller, "loose" object while the other ones are big and cemented, which is probably what separates the stuff you can reverse from the stuff you cannot!

[@mooshugaipan]

I love the idea of things falling out of the sky for us to use, rather than random chunks that COULD be reveresed

[@drumjosh1987]

Another idea I thought about is.. what if when you’re traveling on one of those stones back up to the sky you are actually traveling back in time to when it fell. What if it fell a long time ago, and reversing the time you go back to when it was in its original place. It does look like there is an ancient link, and modern one. Maybe that is a way to travel through time. like pulling the master sword in oot. Idk just an interesting thought. Maybe that mechanic could have two uses, one like I’ve heard discuss where you can freeze and object and reverse it like we saw in the second trailer, then with objects that are fallen from the sky you can reverse the fall and go back to the time period with the object.

[@fixnoamoi]

[@sakiahoque211]

I think,to power the time reversal link's using the greenish-blue bottles on his hip that you can see at the 49th second in the latest trailer of tears of the kingdom so it's like the stamina bar of the time reversal power

[@patheticbread6861]

Hey I got an idea for a run you can do. “Only stable gear” Pretty self-explanatory. You can only use gear that you acquire from stables and you can only buy things from people at Stables HOWEVER. If you get a side quest that’s at a stable and the reward you get for it is somewhere else. (Ex. The treasure hunt quest at dulling peaks stable) Then you are allowed to use that gear. It may seem tough, But I have actually done it myself. I got to say I have a more profound understanding of every stable in the game now. It’s really cool and I would love if you did a video on it.

[@SuperSavajin]

Funnily enough the falling rock parts are kinda implemented in XB3 right now where you can focus on the event happening by pressing ZR. And we know monolithsoft is helping with TotK right now so it's definitely a very good guess.

[@Benji-zs2zm]

This is a great idea, I personally think the rocks will already be on the surface and then when Link uses the time reversal power it goes up to the island, Link will then have to climb to the island and because the rock isn't connected to the island it falls again after a set amount of time.

[@Dolo113]

Maybe Objekts that the time reversal can be used on look different than normal ones just like metal objects in botw

[@richardmahn7589]

I wonder if we will have something like the Sheikah sensor where you can just be told if you are close to a piece of fallen island. Maybe your gauntlet twitches.... "Stop that!" -Link, lol

[@the_dead_knight3]

I noticed something in the logo, it's an oroboros, maby we were right and this game will be about link, Zelda, and possibly Gannon trying to break demis's curse

[@nachogeez42]

Did you see the big winged creature fly by when Link grabs onto the time-reversal object? It's a lot clearer than the fin by the island. It could be a dragon, or another mythical creature.

[@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.

[@andrewcgs]

The Stasis in BotW had two phases: "point" (when you activate it) and "click" (when you catch the object and "freeze" it). I think that the "Time Reverse" rune could work in a similar fashion, with the rewind timespan being the time between "pointing" and "clicking".

[@Gamerboy-wm3kj]

4:42 or maybe there will be shrines and/or travel gates between all the sky islands

[@charleshanson9467]

It should go without saying the time reversal will likely only apply to select objects or materials - reducing the amount of stuff he game has to keep track of the paths. And for how long does it remember the path? I doubt stuff will actively fall from the sky. But I do enjoy the notion going around that Link might have to repair the islands for some main quest.

[@Croton]

Mechanically speaking, all objects have an origin point (when they are spawned/loaded in) so assuming all that gets tracked a player could reverse it back all the way till then! when the game is reloaded though, this tracking data more then likely would be lost and the object reset (which is true how objects reset in botw after reload as well)

[@charleshanson9467]

@@Croton I guess it could all be tracked the same way dropped weapons and defeated enemies are tracked in BotW now, but the game still requires the Blood Moon period to reset all that data for memory optimization. I guess if TotK is run on a brand new Nintendo system that could disappear.

[@thedorklord1029]

The idea that the surface and sky islands would act a bit like a navigational puzzle sounds really interesting! How do you think they’re going to change the overworld though?

[@Croton]

I belive itll be terraformed a bit, maybe revealing some more buried ancient sites that relate to the sky islands and though them you can unlock paths up!

While I do think there will likely be rock falling from the sky events to witness to prompt or lead the player, it is far more likely that reversible items can simply be detected, with a yellow overlay, just like items that Link could use stasis on in BotW. So one need not witness an event to have a chance to find a time reversible item.

[@Croton]

That's very true too! It seems foreign to use right now but there might be a lot of similar looking objects that we learn are typically reversible as we play!

I kinda wish Zelda: TOTK would be like Genshin Impact where Nintendo would release new content/update every year continously. I don't mind paying for each yearly dlc if it means we don't need to wait 5+ years just for a new Zelda game. I just want the game to last long and have something to come back to every year. If they could add in an official Multiplayer mode like other games will be awesome as well. That way, I can play and explore the world with my friends like my childhood days.

[@Slattstudio]

[@richardthemagician8991]

I think you might be over complicating it when it comes to the ascending rocks. I feel like whenever the islands float up at the beginning of the game, it will show a bunch of them fall during a cut scene, similar to all the towers going up at the beginning of the first game. As you pass through the world, you would just turn on whatever the new stasis skill is in order to see what rocks can bring you up to the sky. I think you'll just find them out in the world and not necessarily see them falling constantly.

[@TheIvoryDingo]

At this point I am honestly less interested in WHAT we are able to do and more interested to know if you get pretty much EVERYTHING during the tutorial as I was not a fan of BotW doing exactly that.

[@Praxss]

I don’t think something will fall in front of players. It may have some sheikah sensor thing going on. If you go close or in direction of fallen things we will get sound/ visual indications.

[@herosshade1437]

Zelda Theories I would say it is tears, as in teardrops, not tearing/ripping because of how they drop "Tears of the Kingdom" when dropping the title name; it just sounded like a falling tear. I also believe that there will be at LEAST 8 MAIN dungeons. Why? Each tear will need to be collected from its respective dungeons, and the 8th one is the final boss, so no tear collecting is necessary. I also believe the tears will act as a magic meter. Time reversal length will depend on how many tears you have collected, a perfect way to restrict areas in an open-world game. AND… could tears mean what has the Kingdom of Hyrule done themselves to preserve the peace in the past before the very first calamity? Seeing how Ganondorf was preserved to ensure he won't be reincarnated is pretty morbid, but if you want peace, is it justified? What other questionable actions have they done before that? I cannot wait to find out.

Theory: The "tears" are going to be like stamina vessels. The tears will make time reversal possible. As you get more tears, you can make time reversal longer. So, it'll allow you to ascend to higher islands the more tears you have (and the longer you can reverse the falling stones). So, as you progress through the game, you collect more tears, get longer time reversal, and can reach the higher islands which are the later dungeons.
