I love that the zelda community can pull this off, not everyone can make a 45 minute video analysing a 1 1/2 minute trailer. This isn't even it, i look forward to the next year of content through the trailer
Same here I am so hyped for this game! I love zelda so much!
It felt like 30 seconds 🥲
It’s coming in 2022!
@@Ari_178 we don't know when in 2022 it comes, it could be in the later part of the year. also the game still can be delayed
They're just built different lol
Even though there was only like 30 seconds of gameplay shown, that’s not gonna stop us from analyzing every second of it lmao
Every millisecond*
Every frame
@@majoratwili7312 Every PIXEL
hi
Every nanosecond
People are also forgetting that both links in different clothing literally have the same body proportions. All links (besides toon links) have different hair colors, body sizes, and proportions, so Nintendo would not just use the same Link model, they are only lazy in making ports, not 3D zeldas.
That’s so true, good point
Yes
Finally someone gets it
Tapestry also shows Zelda in her white dress too
People also forget that we can change clothes in BotW. I don't understand people using the clothing to confirm two Links
Something I haven't heard anyone talk about:
It's well documented by this point that Breath of the Wild took a lot of inspiration from the film Princess Mononoke, the opening scene in particular.
Well, in the film, while Ashitaka is running from Tatarigami, his arm gets infected its demonic tendrils, and his journey begins with him seeking out the forest spirit Shishigami in hopes that they can cure him.
I think Link's arm being infected by Malice and possibly him having to have it cured/repaired by the green magic we see in the trailers could be yet another choice from the Zelda team that was inspired by Princess Mononoke.
That's what I was thinking as well. I doubt Link will lose a whole arm in a pegi 12 game.
That’s never been confirmed. Someone asked Aounuma if he was inspired by princess monoke and he said something like “ I don’t know maybe some of the artist were”
@@magicjohnson3121 legal reasons probably. Japanese copyright laws are.... odd. They probably didnt want to the open door for a Ghibli/Nintendo lawsuit.
Came here to say this lol
That would be Very cool
FORTY-FIVE minutes?! You're a king, can't wait to watch this!
people just love liking comments from people with check marks
Cool
Ikr he is a king! I love his videos! And you are a king too! Keep up the good work MaskedNintendoBandit
Yay
Hey it's Nintendo Black Crisis Um I mean Masked Nintendo Bandit
Yeah, NBC would be the one to make a 45 minute analysis.
@@lilnass6891 And it's actually good information, he didn't stretch it out.
Approved nglll
Lootpots did it for the first trailer...
Compare that to gamexplain?
I did it too, so I could see what there was and to help the theorist with a detailed explanation of everything that happened.
Just know, one day, we will watch this video again and laugh because nothing is ever what we think lol
Yeah
"As you can see, the sky is a beautiful blue"
*Loads in the game and the sky is red*
"The fuck!? How!?"
@@speeve64 I don't know why but this comment made me laugh real good
@@NintendoBlackCrisis same here
@@NintendoBlackCrisis aww, thanks!
Just as the AOC analyses
Probably my favorite little detail how Ganondorf’s eyes match the malice eyes you have to shoot to kill malice pools in botw.
To be honest, everything started to be suspicious with Skyward Sword when they announced the HD porting on switch and also the sky diving scene in the trailer with the floating lands. And also the continuous references in the original BOTW to SS : the little girl and the forgotten temple and also the goddess statues around Hyrule. Something great is going to happen, I can feel it.
I remember meeting that girl at the stable, and that was spooky when I first saw her, and then she literately gives you a star frag for using an octo ballon
@@velocivoid7974 Oh yeah, same!! I had little chills when it happened to me too! Because in SS you have to collect star fragments and sometimes in BOTW happens that they fall from the sky.
Maybe in this sequel , we can see Demise again , together with ganondorf
@@mcgyvermanlulu Ganondorf is Demise reincarnated, they both can't exist at once.
@@velocivoid7974 what girl? I don't remember her :(
What if there were multiple hands holding him down in the past which caused the other holes in Ganondorf’s body, and the one that grabs link was the last one remaining?
I like that idea; goes along with a theory I had about the Zonai up and vanishing; most of the tribe sacrificed themselves to seal Ganondorf down, hence why the Zonai just up and 'vanished' suddenly and inexplicably.
@@sixwingedasura3059 that would make a lot of sense. I hope they expand on the zonai… if they don’t it may be the six sages if they want to bring them back into the mix
It would be cool if the Sky Islands are the Sacred realm, and Link is going around waking up the Monks that were responsible for Sealing Ganon, getting new powers from each that are absorbed by his modified arm.
The green robot is just a janitor, as the broom symbol on his chest clearly and unambiguously indicates.
Seconded. It's _totally_ clear. No idea why people are making a big deal over it. That's just what janitors looked like back then in pre-Hyrule. ;P
He reminds me of that lizard dude from Monsters Inc and now im imagining that dude as a janitor talking to Link
The human brain works in weird and wondrous ways lmao
The scene with Link laying down and his arm glowing, I'm wondering if instead of that being the initial moment when he fuses with the green arm, if instead that is some sort of upgrade cutscene, maybe obtaining a new ability or material for the arm?
That’s what I was thinking
yeah
True, but the golden markings aren't there when he has the master sword.
Was thinking the exact same
Sheika arm???
cannot wait for the sequel's name to be breath of the wild: 2022
Takes place 2 years after a new Calamity
Lmao I wonder what they’re gonna name it- I hope they don’t name it Breath of the Wild II (2)
@@sansibit4706 They have announced that there is a name but haven’t revealed it as it would show the story
@@sansibit4706 We know the sequel is being made to be standalone from BotW, so the sequel won't have any of the words "breath of the wild" in the title.
@@molduga What you mean? it's a direct sequel. even Nintendo has confirmed this.
Why is no one talking about the amazing clouds?
I think that was implied among all the collective shrieking of the fandom the day it dropped.
Because they are clouds. Big whoop. They are obstructing the view.
@@Margar02 Yeah but they look awsome
@@The_Eternal_King4941 Well that's pretty common nowadays
@@argo9721 Yeah 😂
Ok hear me out what if we have to ride a dragon through one of their portals to get to the sky islands
I want Loftwings to return
I hate that I can't ride them. Yes I've tried countless times
Personally I think the cloud barrier will be dispelled.
THAT WOULD BE AMAZING-
Is it weird that I'm almost feeling nostalgic seeing all the buzz and speculation around BotW happening again lol. The years leading up to the first game were really special (even if it did drag a little too much near the end). Now there are so many more names in the community giving their perspectives. It's a wonderful time to be a Zelda fan.
It really isn't lol, they haven't released a game since 2017. That's the longest wait between mainline games ever lol
3:07 there's a hole in his wrist too, which to me is from Twilight Prncess which he was chained in a crucifixion style. Except his hands and feet don't seem to be nailed. Yet his wrists were cuffed.
Maybe it's just an artistic styling that represents Ganondorf from TP. I mean, the Malice does pour out of where Ganondorf was stabbed in both the execution scene and then by Link, and in the first trailer his neck cracks back into place, which could be a link to where Zant broke his neck.
I believe we are dealing with the mummified remains of TP's Ganondorf, which begs the question, how? In Four Swords Adventures we see a new Ganon, one entirely separate from the original Ganondorf, who was said to have also been a Gerudo male. However, of this is TP's Ganondorf, how has he come back to life after he was supposedly dead and reincarnated?
Ganondorf is Jesus confirmed
Guys what if Link can put the flamethrower shield on his back and shoot out the fire while paragliding to gain elevation :0
Raviolis gale 2.0
Oh dear, magic jetpacks.
I... don't think that's gonna happen but it's a funny image in my mind xD
Or just jet propel himself upwards by using it after a jump while shield-surfing.
Hahaha that would be funny
Cool but I don't think so
His arms would be holding the paraglider
Unable to trigger the fire of the shield
I find it interesting you saw the construct enemy as a frog with earrings. I saw it as a golem with a single eye, no other facial features and large shoulders. The eye symbol would then be its arms leading down to detatched hands.
Yeah that’s how I interpret it too.
*Wind Waker comes out*
“Ugh, it’s too cartoonyyyy”
*Twilight Princess comes out with a more realistic art style*
“Ugh, it’s just an ocarina of time clone, we want something different”
*Skyward Sword comes out and shakes up the formula a bit*
“Wait, no! I want my open world baaaack”
*Breath of the Wild comes out with a sprawling open world*
“Ok, this is nice, but like.... can... can we has traditional dungeons back...?”
*Breath of the Wild sequel comes out and lets you play as Zelda as she ventures through underground catacombs which function more like traditional Zelda dungeons*
Fans: :O
@@elizabethdoyle890 thanks for the input Elizabeth Doyle
I think the battle between the Ancient Hero and Ganondorf ended up with the Ancient Hero suppressing Ganondorf with His arm like we saw in the first trailer. He was able to suppress Ganondorf for 10000 years until Link and Zelda when exploring beneath the castle in some way caused Ganondorf to break free. So the Ancient Hero's spirit still alive through his will of wanting to suppress Ganondorf wasn't able to hold it anymore so he fused his arm with that of Link's.
Spot on in my opinion
I think that the hand is a link from the past but it’s not the one from 10000 years ago because he was fighting calamity ganon not ganondorf.
@@sandboo9094 Yeah, and consider this: Impa said Calamity Ganon has been turned time and time again + the fact that (from what we know) it takes Ganondorf 10,000 years to fester up enough malice to create a Calamity Ganon, that means he's been down there for a LONG time since he's done it on multiple occasions.
He's done it so many times that the Sheikah ended up building hundreds of powerful machines specifically to counter the Calamity.
My guess is that Ganondorf has been sealed down there for the past 100,000 years or so.
@@sandboo9094 doesn't Ganondorf have some connections to Calamity Ganon? I mean he's literally beneath the castle 😆 eventho it wasn't mentioned that the Ancient Hero fought Ganondorf they could simply just add that to the story like yes the Ancient Hero did fought Calamity Ganon and then it seemed like the Ancient Hero vanished but instead without anyone knowing he was actually fighting Ganondorf beneath the castle after the fight against Calamity Ganon.
@@MichaelJson ganondorf does makes the calamity with the malice and that’s why calamity ganon appears under hyrule castle. But yeah they could add some story detail that the ancient hero disappeared but doesn’t all links disappear after the games? And ganondorf would have been sealed before any of the calamity’s. But anything could possible right now.
this was the most complete and detailed analysis I've seen of the trailer so far, thank you so much for your hard work!
Thank you!
@@NintendoBlackCrisis I agree. But even you don't seem to have noticed that the green arm seems to cover his arm istead of fusing with it. If you look closely at the transition part, you see that the thing is not fused with the arm, but it's rather an extra layer.
@@NintendoBlackCrisis hey man, the symbol on the stone dragon creature with the eye symbol earrings and the closed lotuses on the ?shoulders, you should really compare that symbol with the shattered monument near the shrine with Garini. you know the three shards you need to collect. its practically a perfect fit except for it not being very clear if the broom symbol is in there, but the yellow arches around it with the split in the bottom is definitely in there. just put them next to each other, only its not yellow but rather carved in the stone. and of course it has the still unknown symbols around it. definitely worth a look. keep up the works. pz
He missed the fact that Links right side of his face seems to be affected by his green arm as well. You can clearly see it as Links falls down the sky. He is always shown from the back and we never get a clear shot on the right side of his face as well, yet on the left side of his face we do.
Agree, was really well done
I think Links new look is whenever he ventures into the sacred realm, we have yet to have the sacred realm in the BoTW. It would make sense that’s where the entire Zonai tribe may have disappeared to as well.
It makes a lot more sense than it just being ANOTHER mysterious tribe we have no idea about. All the signs in the trailer point to zonai, and assuming it's a totally different tribe is a stretch. Structures can change in style over time which is likely what happened here.
sacred realm is only in skyward sword.... you don't just go there
10:24 that could also be some sort of great fairy or similar creature. You can see the big floating hands.
Good point!
I'm so feeling like it's friend shaped. I love the idea of these being the new great fairies.
Ive wondering if you can control it with the hand ala the dominion rod from Twilight Princess
Yeah, its construction kind of reminded me of the horse god. Detached, levitating body parts, big hands, and the way it moved was similar. The main difference is its "spine" so I guess we'll just have to wait and see!
Anyone just excited to play as Link with long, untied up hair??
It definitely fits given how this link is the Hero of the Wild. Plus it just looks nice.
This is the shaggy boi representation we needed
Fr it’s so cool looking
_...yes_
We all knew you would make this. Welp, here we go!
Now that there are floating islands canon in the botw lore, I want to see the theory of the great plateau and the lost woods switching places being further explored, because the great plateau does look like it was once lifted out of the ground, I also wonder if the existence of floating land masses may somehow be related to how the eighth gerudo statue got to where it is
I can't believe no one has said this. In BOTW, to the west of the Gerudo Desert and Hebra Mountains as well as north of Lost Woods and Death Mountain, you can see giant cliffs separated from Hyrule by a massive chasm. What if the floating islands are chunks of land from this area that broke off? It explains the new style of construction, new environments not matching anything in the current Hyrule, and the weird lack of craters in the ground.
What if all of hyrule was in the sky at some point and returned to the ground
@@DogsRNice skyloft?
@@twinx_bar dude just explained skyward sword 💀💀
@@Sheila_Chu broooo
Omg.....
I would love it if Link got a grapple hook arm that could latch onto any surface, that would make travel and mobility so incredibly fun to use. Imagine using stasis on a midair object and grappling into it and then using bullet-time in midair to launch arrows at a bokoblin
if it swings instead of shoots, I'm FOR IT
BOTW2: Spider-Link
i think very interresting how the scene with Link "swimming" to the sky lack of a beginning (we only see him swimming in the "sky outfit" but not how he jumps)
instead we only see the puddle that turns back into a drop
He seems to be just above a platform at the beginning of the shot tho...
With TotK now 100 days away, I feel this is the single most valuable analysis anyone eagerly awaiting TotK could watch. 45 minutes of pointing out every little detail! I had to come back and watch it again, since its been over a year and no new trailers have emerged.
Quick mention: Maybe the stasis reverse+ is an extension of purah's de-aging rune? And she changed it for Link so it works on non-organic and on a smaller scale??
That would be really cool actually. And maybe we'll see the Sheikah elders at a young adult age.
Edit:fixed spelling mistake
except you forgot to think about the fact that link's not holding the sheikah slate when he uses that power
@@four125 Since there seems to be a some evidence/theories about the ancient Zonai and ancient Sheikah working together, or at least being associated with each other, the hand could have energy that helped make the Sheikah slate possible, or the hand could have been some early inspiration for the Sheikah making the Sheikah slate. The hand could have the same runes as the slate, and perhaps more that the Sheikah couldn’t perfect on the slate. If this was true, then it might make sense that Purah could have made some new runes for the hand since it was sinilar.
@@Stingray-hx9xw the hand glows gold, not orange blue or green
It's not a rune though. It's a magical power from links new arm.
I just noticed this, but the part of the trailer that plays Zelda’s lullaby is using the same instrument that’s used for dragons’ theme in the first game. Now, it’s entirely possible that they just wanted to use this instrument again, but who knows, maybe there will be a connection there
So... Zelda is a dragon?
@@JechtNH I was thinking more like the dragons from the first game could play a bigger role in this one, but sure that works
the true villain of this game will be the rat RATHEW THE MIGHTY
Only to be vanquished by Cathew the Destroyer! 🐱
Lol
Okay hear me out: Zonai for Underground, and this New Tribe for in the Air
That would be cool
My 2 -cents- rupees: A few months after defeating Calamity Ganon, the monsters of Hyrule are still somehow affected by Malice. Even worse they seem to grow more intelligent, teaming up with powerful monsters. Zelda goes through the Castle's library researching the events of 10,000 years ago, while Link does his best to repel the fiercer monsters. Finally, Zelda finds a lead and they decide to venture wherever Ganondorf is supposed to be detained. As they make their way through the grotto, they start to see embers of malice floating through the air... Eventually, they arrive at the resting place of the King of Thieves. Malice is pouring out left and right, but the the Hand still seems to hold him down.
Ganondorf feeling the presence (of the descendants) of those who sealed him here, manages the turn his neck and open his eyes. He sees the Princess with the sealing power, his hatred flares up, the malice intensifies, the very earth begins to crack under our heroes' feet. Link draws the Master Sword, but Ganondorf attacks his arm with malice, corrupting his skin, muscles and bones. His arm starting to wither, he drops the Sword, the earth cracks wide, Zelda and the Sword falls down into the Abyss. Without hesitation, the silent knight jumps to save the Princess of Hyrule. The Hand dislodges itself from the chest of the Demon King, releasing him, but catching Link who's holding Zelda.
However, the corruption is still spreading and Link loses his grip, the Princess falls. The Hand brings our Hero back up, fusing itself to him, stopping and reverting the corruption. The shock of his arm dying, losing the Princess, fusing with an unknown power, he falls unconscious. Ganondorf raises his arms, using all of his hatred and malice, he raises the Castle to the skies, leaving the Princess and the Hero for dead... Zelda miraculously doesn't die from the fall and is rescued by what remains of the Zonai tribe. They go back to find Link and nurse him back to health and give him a *fire-breathing shield add-on*. The game starts underground as shown by Link fighting the disgusting ceiling worm... or none of that happen. /shrug
45 minutes??? Good time for me to settle in,get a snack and watch this
Sas idea
The symbol on that new enemy robot just screamed "power button" to me.
Same
Thank you, its exactly what ive been thinking
It seemed like some type of energy gauge to me.
How do we know its an enemy?
I would also like to point out (since skyward sword is one of my favorite Zelda games y’all can bite me) that when Link meets Gorko the Goron on the surface he describes a land above the clouds with trees of gold. Not unlike the visuals portrayed in the trailer for BOTW 2. At the time we all thought it was just a fun jab at how the legend is always better than the actual thing but perhaps there’s more to it than that now. It also adds more evidence to this being the same area above the cloud barrier from Skyward Sword.
In one of the concept art pieces with links altered hand, the master sword can be seen broken. Maybe it is broken by ganondorf and we have to fix it in the game, which would then introduce blacksmithing.
I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that Vaati and the Minish will be brought back in BoTW2. Especially since they wanted to add the Minish in the first game
that could be why we can't see the sky islands in the last shot of hyrule castle. they could just be too tiny
I would LOVE for that to be true!
The mechanical being strikes me as friendly (being powered by similar energy as Link's arm), and I speculate that the yellow symbol may be cue telling the player what "rune" is used to make it work. Also, the "earrings" move in tandem with the creature's hands, making me think that they are actually part of its arms. The rest of the arms are not corporeal, connected to the hands by energy as in the robots of Skyward Sword.
It could also be like the small guardians in test of strength shrines in BOTW, or like the Maz Koshia fight, and meant as a test.
Nintendo: *release a photo of the game*
Theorists three seconds later:
I think a possible name could be The Legend of Zelda: Skies of Demise.
No no it should be called The Legend of Zelda: breath of fresh air
Considering Princess Mononoke was an influence with Breath of the Wild, I think they've taken it a step further again with Links cursed arm
11:49 You missed the best connection to the robot in this area. Look up at the murals on the walls behind the statues.
23:06 It's not black and white, it's just low saturation.
Do you have a link to what you're talking about in the first point? I'd love to see what you mean.
What @Bail said
I agree with both of you ^^ *no hate of course
@@sansibit4706 You know what the background music at 28:03 is?

27:15 for some reason i just love this shot so much
lOOK AT THE WAY HIS LITTLE LEGS KICK WHY IS THAT SO ADORABLE
I DONT EVEN KNOW WHY
Y’all that statue looks like someone who gives you a new skill or “rune” not an enemy. That’s why it has a symbol. It’s the symbol of the ability you get. The scene looks like the animation of a cut scene where it is talking to you. At least that’s my first thought.
Yoooo finally broom rune finally!!!!
I've actually said this monster here the Golem thing is actually an Ally cuz it's got green energy
His tattoos remind me of Anakin's tattoos in Clone Wars (no, not THE Clone Wars, I'm talking the real OG) that kind of radiate out from his mechanical hand
The Genndy Tartakovsky’s Clone Wars?
mmmh. I see what you mean.
Perhaps Link got slimed by some alien slugs as well.
I'm calling it now: Link's gonna be an amputee by the end of this game. If there's anything I've learned from fantasy games, mixing magic and arm injuries never pan out well.
*Dumbledore vibes intensify*

@@witherschat I think you mean *ASHITAKA vibes intensify*

This is a pegi 12 game... kids would be horrified. It's gonna heal his arm, not replace it....
What a hot thumbnail 😍
Lol all Zelda youtubers have appeared
Leave it to the Zelda theorists to make a 45 minute analysis of a trailer that is not even 2 minutes long.
I was hoping for an analysis like this and its from my favorite Zelda youtuber! I don't even care how long it is because I could listen to you talk about Zelda all day! Keep it up! I can't wait for more break downs like this in the future!!!
I definitely don’t think that we’re going to be playing as the Ancient Hero, but I would love love love if Link and Zelda got to meet the Ancient Hero and Ancient Princess, ghost style. It could be very poignant. Also, I hope the score uses more traditional Japanese and Chinese instruments. The bit of Zelda’s lullaby at the very end of the trailer gave me big Tan Dun vibes. Speaking of which, a wuxia style Zelda game would be dope.
First of all, I think the dragon head shield may hint to item customization. Secondly, I think that Aonuma may think he wasn't able to release Skyward sword the way he wanted as a result of hardware limitations, like having a day-night cycle in the sky, which is heavily shown in the trailer. And finally, thanks a lot NBC for treating time travel rumors with a more centered view. This was an enjoyable watch as usual! I can't wait for more!
Wonderful analysis job! Keep going on the long shots sometimes, this is some well spent time!
What if link is falling out of one of the dragon portals?
Idk about that. I feel like the dragon portals will take us to the Sky
@@molduga yeah maybe that’s how we get to the sky
If the arm holding back Ganon is fusing with Link to protect him from the spread of malice, that reminds me so much of Princess Mononoke!! It'd be cool to have an Ashitaka inspired outfit in BOTW 2 as a nod to Ghibli.
One thing that could explain the hand scenes is that the person laying down on the table thing isn't link, but perhaps the ancient hero in the tapestry.
Was so excited for this!
Keep punching out these great Zelda videos I love your videos I love Zelda, and I love you and your channel man.
This is one of my favorite videos you've made, thank you. Keep up the good work!
14:10 my guy went from big brain analyzer to return to the way of monke
I really do love these bits
33:43 first print, at the top, saying "maybe champion's tunic zonai version" is me! Yay!
When stopping time with celia in phantom hourglass, everything turns greyscale too. This may be a reference to how time manipulation worked in past games.
Legit best video I've watched on the subject thus far. Congrats, man.
Coming back to this again because I am so hyped for this game and need content to sustain me. Loving all your videos!
What's the music at 20:45? It's VERY familiar but I forget the name.
Edit: it's the Lorule Castle theme from A Link Between Worlds, leaving this up in case other people want to know
As Professor Oak would say. Well done! Thoroughly enjoyed hearing your thoughts on the new trailer. Can’t wait for more information in the coming months 👏
I don't mind these longer videos at all ;)
Thanks man!
Great job on the video, I could have watched longer. I like how you go in depth explaining the trailer
One possible explanation for the part where Link is lying shirtless on the ground and green energy is absorbed into his right arm is that it could simply be him getting a new power.
Sort of like how the Sheikah Slate got new runes by absorbing blue energy.
Part of me says that we might do a quest or something to reunite every part of the floating island together and it’s going to be a huge United island that may have something to do with Ganon because in my opinion I don’t think they look normal for me they look like they were once a huge island but some entity broke them into floating islands
I really do have a huge imagination 😅
I really like this analysis its one of the most grounded and logical ones I've seen!
That flower thing hanging from the ceiling that link was fighting with the flamethrower shield reminds me a lot of those carnivorous plants from skyward sword that would often appear in faron and sometimes lanayru
"This video is sponsored by squarespace..... ..... .... thanks Squarespace"
Thank god I didn't have to skip anything 🤣
What about later in the video.
It would be interesting that the malice attacking him leads to a dark link encounter made from malice as a test just something I'd personally love to see
Loving the longer videos!
This was an amazing video. Thank you for making it!!!
37:24 except... except if you remember the theory that the great plateau and the lost woods were swapped.
probably not, but still.
It was confirmed that the lost woods and the great plateau were swapped for game play purposes
Another clue for the island part of the game being the ancient times is when Nintendo talked about the remake of Skyward Sword they were very specific on the part that this was the beginning of the Zelda-universe and the start of the story of the master sword. Could the re-release of that game, which features floating islands, be a way for Nintendo to make fans aware of this timeperiod and how it looked, so that the time travel in BotW2 would makes sence and be familiar for the player?
At 27:42 you can see what looks like the Gerudo Highlands in the background. Also there is a big valley below where Link is. This area reminds me of Tabantha Bridge Stable.
Amazing break-down NBC!
When people started hyping the 'not showing Link's face' bit, I imagined a malice eyeball (seems you did too) plus those patterns on his cheek, spreading from the arm.
I would love a game that switched between Link and Zelda like you said with the sky sections and underground sections, then they reunite and it’s a whole quest on the OG breath of the wild world.
I am so excited for the sequel. I try to remind myself to be patient lol. It could be 7 months or it could be 14 month before we play it. But I can’t wait! Botw is one of my top games. Always will be. I love getting lost & exploring in hyrule. Can’t wait to do that in the sequel.
Finally! I’ve been waiting for someone to do this
11:07 the “pine ones” remind me more of artichokes which are a kind of thistle/wildflower
About the green monster / guardian in the sky with green energy flowing through:
IF the green energy emitting from the hand holding down Ganon is the source / fuel, then when the hand merges with Link... The transmission of energy should end abruptly thus proving the objects running on the green energy as futile. Which means since the source is cut off the monster / guardian in the skyland should no longer function. MAYBE... We get to activate whatever that is in order to get hints or obtain side quests or maybe it serves it's role as a guide which leads me to believe perhaps it's an alley or a guardian of sort created by an ancient race.
By that logic, the hand would work as a companion to Link just like Midna, Fi or Navi. I'm betting my money on the hand being the remainings of an ancient sage imprisoning Ganon cause we didn't exactly get to see the sages in Breath Of The Wild, The ones who sealed the *Calamity* away were Link and Zelda. They did NOT mention sealing away Ganon to be precise rather the Calamity
I can't wait much longer for botw 2! I know this video will hype me up more
We will probably get new info every direct(hopefully) so there will probably be a direct in september and therefore botw 2 news
@@solcoreoceltrale4578 ahhh I sure hope so!
20:06 another possibility that I have yet to see since everyone seems to assume it’s a malice infection, is the possibility that the malice completely destroyed his arm to the point that it was obliterated or maybe even had to be amputated (maybe that’s why he was lying down in his underwear), and the spectral green arm fuses to him as a replacement. The arm glowing green to me just seems like magic, and the fact that Link’s arm is black reminds me more of how the mummified sheikah monks as well as ganondorf have rotted black skin. I think that is the spectral arm, not Link’s.
Brilliant job! Loved this vidro!
Old man Link went for milk and never came back
This trailer just makes me want to go watch Princess Mononoke again so bad 😂 great video!
A minor thing I noticed, which could just be a coincidence, is that the malice comes from the bottom left portion of the screen, and Ganon's piece of the Tri-Force has always been Power, which is in the bottom left. Probably just coincidence though.
Now here’s the trailer analysis I’ve been waiting for 😊
That would be awesome if they can bring Vaati into BotW 2! He's due for a comeback.
Hey NBC. Hope you’re doing well
Your pfp is epic (talus boko camp at the time I reply)
@@witherschat thanks. It was one of my favorite parts of the trailer
12:08 for the lizalfos looking robot guardian thing it looks more like a power or on button on consoles, and it maybe even looks like the yellow might be standby mode. maybe its like a friendly lizalfos style guardian on arrival to that shrine, it'll be cool to see once the game comes out
With the whole pocket dimension time travel theory. I haven't seen many people talking about how the luminous stone crystals seen in the first trailer resemble some of the time crystals seen in the mines in Skyward Sword. When Link uses the new stasis ability you can see spacial warping as it takes effect. The is a bubble like lensing that happens and you can see a warped image of the spike ball moving away as the spacial warping expands outward. This is also similar to the expanding pockets of time the time stones create.
