That trailer definitely killed the speculation about playable Zelda so at least they let us down somewhat early.

Never attribute to malice that post which is adequately explained by a poor sense of humor.
So, it looks like we've got the old Hyrule, likely with some changes, plus sky islands. Skyward Sword HD suddenly seems very appropriate from a marketing perspective. They even had similar "Skydiving Link" shots.

Iunno, I'm not that excited by BOTW2. I was hoping for it to go in some new and interesting directions, and the trailer didn't show anything Zelda hasn't done before. I'm sure it'll be a good game eventually! But I don't feel compelled to find out what's going on, or explore anything new, or mess with any new systems, or anything.

Same world, some sky islands, a couple new powers. Zelda's gone again, Ganon's back again. :shrug: Eh.

Maybe I'm more hype for it because a while after they announced the delay I decided to just replay it.

I’m excited about the Game & Watch. I love dorking around in the original Zelda, and I’ll have a convenient way to play the game boy version of Links Awakening for the first time. I can see myself actually taking this places for mini game sessions when I have time to waste.

Medals only weigh one down.

honestly when that smash trailer showed a guy carrying Ganondorf's body to the edge of a cliff, I thought we were starting strong with a BOTW2 with a new big bad.

alas!

If you see something suspicious, bomb it!

Link no-clipping through the sky island is exactly what I needed. I was hoping that BotW2 would be all about caves but getting the game Skyward Sword should’ve been is perfect for the systems they developed in BotW.

Just tell us more, Nintendo! That direct was a huge disappointment otherwise.

now I see, they’re porting skyward sword specifically so people can feel that void of wasted potential from the sky and then BoTW2 can come in to fill that void

Super stoked for botw2! Some new mechanics and otherwise more of the same best game I’ve ever played.

pretty lame tbh. no dungeons, no hookshot, no nothin. it looks like a botw expansion pack so far.

Let me tell you about true luxury.

I think this was just a temporary placeholder kind of a reveal, or at least I am hoping that's the case. Can't go two years and provide nothing, but you can give a little bit. What was shown was basically just a DLC kind of experience for me, rather than a new title. The world was somewhat the same outside of the floating islands, many assets are the same. Teleporting up to the islands could just be a cutscene like teleporting for fast travel is in BotW 1. I feel like this was a bit of a fake out and the real meat and potatoes are yet to come.

We literally have a minute of gameplay and almost no more information. They know they have to top Breath of the Wild, so no way they won't dial things up.

For sure. All I can go on is what we have seen though and that implies the big new addition is the sky islands, not full dungeons as I think most people were probably hoping. If it's just shrines again tbh I probably won't play at release but that's just a strong personal preference I have.

link fighting a worm thing in a cave with a flamethrower was pretty cool
sky islands are always awesome. love that poo poo.
why do the bokoblins have unicorn horns
was hoping to see a bit more but oh well, next year it is.

I will be very sad if they don't add in more and bigger dungeons, but I'll still play it through my angry tears on day one

TheLoneStar

Main hopes:

-More dungeons
-No shrines. Or if they have them, way less than in the first game.
-More enemy variety.

Aside from that, I'm pretty stoked with the little information we have so far.

You think they'll have a "Link loses all his powerups" moment like it's Metroid?

No fair! You changed the outcome by measuring it!
I'm glad it's not being rushed for 2021, and I wouldn't mind it delaying to 2023 if it makes for a better game. I think they'll have a Zelda Anniversary direct eventually, but now I can see them releasing WW and/or TP slowly over this and next year while we wait for BOTW2.

Also that little game and watch is an adorable waste of plastic and please correct me if I'm wrong but that probably did not take much development time.

e. To be clear I am very patiently excited about Breath of the Wild: Distant Lands

That trailer definitely felt like a "no we swear we're still working on it, here have a tiny little scrap of gameplay as proof" trailer more than anything substantial. It's very possible the "big twist" will come out in a future trailer - keep in mind, the first Mario Odyssey trailer didn't even include the cap feature!

Cautiously optimistic, though I'm genuinely surprised they seem to have gone for a sky theme and not an underground theme

I liked what little they showed us but at the same time I wasn’t blown away. That’s not a bad thing and I have faith the final product will be amazing. But it’s going to be a long drat wait for next year.

I still think this game is tied to whatever ends up being the Switch Pro and as the hardware revision gets delayed, so does this game. With as bad as the market is to get computer chips, Nintendo is probably not feeling any rush to get a Switch Pro out the door.

If I remember we really didn't see much of BOTW1 until like 2 months before debut so I'm not that worried. Also yall saw Link with a mega buster and say its nothing...drat...

I'm pumped as hell for BoTW 2. We have:

Time manipulation power (and primitive (?) Bokoblins and Moblins with different horns)



Death Mountain is dormant



ZONAI stuff!!!





And Link's different look that seems to switch in the game. This is a time travel game. The Zonai are unknown ancients so having more of their culture being around, those lights being unbroken, and Link's look make me think that a good part of this is all about what part the Zonai had in this story.

Yo, did you forget enemy treehouse built on a Talos? I can't decide whether that or clipping through the overhead cliff was my favourite.

I hope Nintendo is gaslighting us and only the prolog is Hyrule. Pull a MGS2 and the rest of the game is in Termina/Labrynna/Holodrum. I do not wanna run around Hyrule again after Botw

Definitely not forgotten- I was just trying to focus on more of the other weird things. My first thought on that cave worm thing was a kind of Mulduga- also I didn't realize at first that it wasn't spitting fire at Link, it was Link's Zonai shield spitting fire at the monster!

edit: I was spending time scrubbing the video to see if there was any view further to the west of Death Mountain to see if Mt. Hebra was intact to confirm that it was in the past. No luck.
