Also more than worth noting: Aonuma confirms that the game will be larger than just Hyrule and its skies! Where could we go?
What do you think of the delay, and of this new clip? What are your theories on the sequel?
They should take their time
It’s gonna be the next Skyrim, gonna take them 1000 years to release
Delay is good, because it always better to have a good game in the end
I'm not mad about the delay. I'm glad that Nintendo is taking their time.
I’m honestly kind of happy, we finally have an official release date. That means Nintendo is not rushing the game, we’ll get a beautiful game when it comes out.
MAN, with how badly ganondorf's malice messed up the master sword, I've got CHILLS about just how insane the boss fights will be in this game! Plus the world being expanded even further than we know! Delay or not, This is going to be AMAZING!
They had to have heard fan’s responses to how underwhelming the final fight is, right? I hope it’s so hard that it takes me a week to beat 😂 haha!
the master sword here is giving me serious midna realness and it has me so curious if its representing malice or the twilight
Looks like guardian markings
It'd be cool if Ganondorf could corrupt and maybe influence Links own power during the fight.
He could steal Links power or special abilities that he's collected throughout the game and weaponized it all or some of it against him.
Maaaaybe a battle against Fi?
Maaaaybe Links new green spirit energy can be pulled from him and given its own, now hostile, physical form.
it is terrifying
This guy can make a 10 second trailer into a 6 minute analysis. I couldn't even make this a 1 minute analysis without speculation
I mean I'd be lying if I said most of this video wasn't speculation! We know basically nothing about this game for certain!
@@Zeltik Yeah I tend to speculate a lot
That's the fun though, right? Sucks we have to wait a little longer but I actually like anticipation and speculation 😊
That’s Zelda RUclipsrs for ya. Lol, I kid, it’s great honestly. Very creative and fun to watch
@@spiderdude2099 I would know considering I am one
The thing that shocked me the most, is that they never run out of ideas. This game will come out because they had too many ideas for BoTW, that impresses me so much. The dev team is incredibly creative.
same with team cherry!
And it's that _Content_ I want. Breath1 was an empty shell of disappointment - the Switch ''glorified tech demo'' if you will - even Aonuma later admitted it. No real Zelda fan could support going from 6/8 dungeons in traditional Zelda games to,, 0 _(zero!!)_ in Breath1.
But it's clearly evident in Breath2's trailer that there is actually better enemy variety - one of a proper Zelda games real strengths!
@@netweed09
I'm a real Zelda fan and I fully support BotW. Traditionalism isn't at all necessary to appreciate and love something. Dungeons or the lack thereof doesn't affect my love and adoration towards Zelda games.
@@SlowWinterNuts Well, as your opinion that's fine for you.
But me; Dungeons are what largely define the series. They are more of less the soul of the games: take those out and you have,, well what do you have? Samey, identikit enemies ,,, clones for Shrines, no themes, lack of scope to introduce amazing Bosses (like Koloktos) and memorable (Legacy) themes. For me, they are the soul of the series.
@@netweed09
Without dungeons, you still have a game series that has Link setting out on an adventure against adversarial forces (And even then, Zelda games can be looser than that, as Zelda games are whatever they want to be); The absence/presence of dungeons don't at all affect the potential of what this series can offer, as dungeons are just one (1) game mechanic among many, many other mechanics that the franchise utilizes at its disposal, and that's not even mentioning the fact that the series can use/invent new mechanics that they've never used before.
Your POV is very restricted to a narrow scope, as you seem to think that dungeon mechanics are greater than they actually are, which, at the end of the day, are nothing more than just game mechanics - tools and languages a game uses at its disposal to express itself in various ways.
For the record, I absolutely ADORE Zelda dungeons, but, also for the record, I equally adore the absence of dungeons just as much. With or without any mechanics, a Zelda game will still ultimately be itself, as it's how it uses its tools and speaks through its gameplay that defines its soul, rather than the other way around
I like how they just casually give us a full-on shot of Link's intact face, something that wasn't seen clearly (aside from a few blurry frames during a backflip) in the original trailer, just shutting down all the theories over Link's face being marked as well.
@Logia SD it doesn't look tattooed... do such things even exist in zelda?
@@satorii_2060 Tattoos do exist in Zelda, in BoTW at least. Pikango, the sheikah painter, has some on his arm and shoulder.
@@nanajames2233 oooh right, didn't notice that!
@@satorii_2060 the gorons in skyward sword has tattoos. The bomb shop guy in ocarina of time and in majora’s mask. A few characters in botw and even in windwaker
@Logia SD Well, his Champion's tunic covers his arm, so all is well.
I'm fine with it coming out in Spring 2023 if it means they are putting the same level of detail into it they did with BOTW1. It's Zelda -I'm sure it will be worth the wait. :)
I would expect them to release a NEW console to go with botw2 otherwise disappointing
@@MrSexiPepsi I disagree, putting more time into a project especially ones as big and elaborate as the Zelda games to refine it is just as valid.
It’s fine if you’re disappointed but it literally makes no sense to release a new console especially when their current console is so popular and selling extremely well.
@@MrSexiPepsi you're gonna be disappointed then; we might get an updated Switch around next spring but the next gen Nintendo console isn't coming until 2025.
@@MrSexiPepsi I disagree, but anyways nice name.
I wasn’t sure at first but thanks to your comment I’m fine with it now
The delay is sad, but ultimately for the best to ensure a better game.
Damaging the master sword like this is an interesting approach, a way to explain why you don't just start with it and allowing you to hopefully restore and recharge it over time as a long term goal.
Yea we don't want another battlefield 2042 right?
Malice nuke
Yes, via uses of the 'Green Hand' hopefully!
Maybe the game will let you use the sword early but you have to reforge the sword with the story.
For instance you first reforge it into the blade of the goddess and change it back slowly as you go.
I’m definitely seeing some Skyward Sword parallels with this game. Between most likely having to reforge the Master sword and journeying through the sky, I think we may see Fi or Demise. Even though the delay is sad, it’s just going to make the game much better. Super excited!
I agree! And, they released Skyward Sword HD in July. I highly doubt that's a coincidence.☺️
@@elainaleach955 Yep, that's an even weightier point actually! They had the inspiration from that (Great game that ahem Arlo underates) but then after the re-release of SS they _really_ said 'yes, lets take it all the way with this''.
I hope We finally see Our beloved Loftwin,,, again (don't want to type it all out to not jinx it!) How wonderful this is as a ''Spiritual projection'' of that gem. The lore would all now be playable as Aonuma promised Us better actual content.
Please for the love of Hylia, no Fi. I can't deal with having to endure her a second time.
@@Draezeth she’s hot though
I'm pretty sure Demise is *_dead_* dead.
We might get to see Fi though. That would be cool for those who liked Skyward.
If you remember in skyward sword, Demise's consciousness had been sealed in the master sword, after which Impa states she must stay there to guard against Demise being released. What if damaging the sword releases Demise? The ultimate plan to use malice to unleash the original demon back into the world? This would also tie into the theory that Ganondorf had been placed under Hyrule Castle in some sort of ritualistic spell, whether alone or with help still remains to be seen, but it had been a planned event. I mean, how many times can you try and take Hyrule head on before changing tactics? The sky islands, to me at least, could indicate link having to go back and reforge the sword to face Demise, paired with Ganon or alone. We may even see a return of Fi. Her sole purpose was to help the hero seal the demon away, but If demise is unleashed, then her purpose is unfulfilled, therefore she would wake again.
Whatever the case I am definitely excited! The only thing I ask is that if they do bring Fi back as link's companion, that she be HELPFUL in this game.
That's exactly what I thought! I also think it would be wicked awesome to see if Demise has a beast form like Ganon (and no, the Imprisoned doesn't count)
She was so useless in Skyward Sword lol everytime I asked her for a hint she just said the obvious long-term goal but nothing related to the immediate obstacles. The Sheikah stones were the real champs when it came to hints.
The corruption on the arm reminds me of the curse put on Prince Ashitaka's arm in the film Princess Mononoke. Not sure if that in turn is based on a deeper root in Japanese folklore, but it would be interesting if the parallel continues through with Link gaining some powers because of the corruption (similar to Ashitaka tapping into the cursed demon strength of his arm at several points in the movie).
Funny enough, I was reminded of the "Ghost Hand" storyline from the original Star Wars Clone Wars micro-series, which uses a corrupted hand as a symbol for Anakin's use of the dark side of the force. My guess would be that either it took some inspiration from Princess Mononoke, or both of them took inspiration from the same thing.
EDIT: a bit of time on Google revealed that Star Wars Clone Wars took inspiration from Princess Mononoke, so both BOTW2 and Star Wars Clone Wars took inspiration from the same thing.
wouldn´t be the first breath of the wild reference from that movie, too. The art style, the lord of the mountain, etc.
reference or inspiration i guess
That’s always possible, I mean I believe there was concept art with link missing an arm so that and the movie may be the source for some of what goes on in the game.
Thought the same. Also, no one seems to notice but his hand is claw like/long pointed nails like Ganon or the hand that bound Ganon(?)
When Link is standing in front of the golden light it almost looks like he’s atop Vah Medoh, which may be how he initially gets to the floating islands. Just a thought!
Don't take my word I love zelda but I don't know every little thing about but vah media has no symbols on the top like that Don take my word tho
Smart idea thi
@@enderboss379 Well, it's not quite an 'idea', he said it's only a fling.
I would like to see the Oocaa tribe again. Breath1 was annoying: all it was doing was teasing Us with 'stone tablets and carvings'. Now - give _6 whole Years!!_ re-using assets I want to see these Great characters/NPCs back in gameplay!
I want to see both the Loftwings _and_ the Oocaa.
Maybe the motivation for reversing time is to get so strong in this ability that he can ultimately reverse time on the master sword, to restore it. And to reverse time for princess Zelda too, in order to save her.
That would be cool
He already saved her in the last game
@@camilaeugeniamendez7756 But he can save her again, better, stronger, faster
I'm really curious to what Aonuma hinted at after mentioning the skies ''However, the expanded word goes beyond that''.
Maybe underground
Underground is the first thing that pops up but maybe time travel as well? Maybe instead of Shrines, we get sent to areas in the past? Get to re-live moments from past games
Underwater?
Maybe something like the Silent Realm from SS?
@@AquamarineDust Please not that again
Theory: Link isn't wearing bracelets like those on the spectral hand, his arm is destroyed and the spectral hand becomes his prosthetic hand of sorts. It attaches to him.
This makes a lot of sense.
I agree. I think it's a Sheika tech replacement arm -- it vaguely resembles the guardian bots. Being Sheika tech, it might have many of the features of the Sheika Slate before, which I might presume Zelda would want/need back after the events of BOTW. Thus, when Link uses the time-reversal thing, it's probably his arm doing the actual activation. And, we might then see more Sheika tech abilities added to his combat capability, being that an arm might allow him to more naturally incorporate those abilities into his repertoire, rather than derping around like a tourist with an iPad.
My theory is that the sealing arm is a direct interference by the goddesses themselves. Hence writing that can't be found anywhere else.
And the arm is a gift from them after he loses his own, therefore it has more unexplained writing/symbols on it.
Basically, it is writing the goddesses uses themselves :P
@@Vermula the glowing orb thing that makes the sword shine blue, kind of looks like the orb in Din's fire.
A completely new prosthetic arm to replace the old one and has a bunch of gimmicks included? Guess the sequel should be called BotW: Heroes Die Twice.
The things I noticed: In the clip where link draws the master sword you can see tiforce on his clothing. The markings on his arms remind me of the maze in the akala region. His hair is a lot longer meaning a long time has passed. The arm band looks like sheikah technology but more primitive. You can see the same types on markings on his arm, on his bow.
"The expanded world goes beyond that"
It seems from the trailers we'll have caves too, but it didn't sound like he was talking about those.
If I were to guess, he was talking about time travel.
BOTW 1 left so many mysteries behind, the leviathans, gigantic cut down trees, underwater village ruins, I can't help but feel like we're supposed to see at some point, how these places used to be.
Age of Calamity shed "some" light into it, but not nearly enough, not even close.
This would be so cool. In BOTW1 there were some temples that were in ruins that looked like they could've entire dungeons and parts of the story. Imagine we can go back in time and see what parts of the map looked like ages ago
Would love to explore Hyrule in its prime lol, it kinda sucks when it's all broken down and shit lmao
From the moment that Aonuma said Nintendo was "aiming" for a 2022 release date, I started to expect the game to get delayed till 2023. The wording and the second trailer being smaller than the first told me that the game was nowhere near completion. About the new clip: I like it. It's short, doesn't spoil anything too important but it still manages to make fans speculate.
And speculate they will. Squeezing out years of content from a single cutscene.
It was leaked that the game would be released to spring 2023 and it would be announced close to April. So looks like the leak was correct!
@@0megaWarrior where was this leak
@@Wafflefrieslmdh I'll try to find it.
Hopefully they release a new console with the release
I have some theories:
1) I get the feeling that they may move away from the breakable weapons, and shift back to the Master Sword being fully restored to its true power. Hence the triforce of courage glowing in Link's hand.
2) I still think that Calamity Ganon was not the true reincarnation of Ganon / Demise, so all you did was seal away a large pool of sentient malice. The true threat is under the castle. I think that provides an in-game explanation of why you did not need the Master Sword to beat the game.
3) If the sword has broken, does that mean that Demise's sealed consciousness will be released and take over that mummified body under the castle? What if the "Breach of Demise" was foreshadowing?
? That wasn't the Triforce of Courage.
No for the 3rd thing it's been stated at the end of ss that she has to watch the blade until the last of demise soul vanishes that was centuries between him getting sealed and link, zelda, and groose coming back by then the soul was purged. The only way back is for someone to wish him back with the triforce.
The Breach of Demise was likely named because of its scary appearance, reminding people of the story of Demise and his army of demons rising from a rift in the ground to pursue the Triforce. Whether by coincidence, or by people thinking it actually WAS the underworld rift from ages past, people gave it that name. I think this game will focus on featuring the personality of Ganondorf once again, but it might have some actual reference to his origins worked in somehow. They seem intent on making good use of the Skyward Sword lore.
Point #2 is really interesting, because it suggests this game might have some limit on defeating the final boss. As in, you have to complete all steps to restore the master sword before you can defeat Ganondorf for good this time. No way to just fly straight to him and defeat him with a tree branch.
1. I think they'll still have breakable weapons, but you won't be able to defeat Ganondorf without the master sword restored. The master sword being "the sword that seals the darkness" and then not even having to use it against malice/calamity Ganon makes me think it will, indeed, play an integral role in the final fight.
I wholeheartedly agree with #2. Calamity/Malice Ganon was by far the easiest Ganondorf/Ganon fight since since ALTTP. And it'd make sense that since Zelda didn't seal away the true incarnation of Ganondorf/Ganon, that he'd still be releasing malice into the world from his body.
3. I never had the opportunity to play most og the games so I'm not familiar with that part of the lore. 😔
The marks on Link’s arm look eerily similar to the marks on Zelda’s face and upper body when she is possessed by Ganondorf in Twilight Princess. This, coupled with Link’s new strange abilities coming from his new arm, and his long, more wavy hair make me think that Ganondorf is actively trying to possess Link in this game, likely due to his normal body being mummified and perhaps has been cut off from accessing his true abilities. And not only will we need to purify and repair the Master Sword, but also Link himself.
Now THATS a new approach - I'd have never thought of it! I can see ganon finally being like "If you cant beat him, join him!"
This is what I WANT to happen :,> since I’ve seen the trailer, it’s what I’ve theorized as well. Ahh…as cruel as that is to Link, I feel it would give the most fresh story telling for this series. The Hero consuming the villain. Or will the villain consume the hero?
The ultimate ending.
Oh god I never thought of that, that's friggin terrifying
WOW.
Yea it looks like the Twilight patterns lol
Does anyone else think that link might “die” idk why seeing the sword like that and seeing his arm makes me feel like in this game we’ll be on some sort or timer kinda like MM but not completely. It’s giving me chills cause thinking about it they gave SS a HD remake to give you the initial story of the series and explaining who FI is and after BOTW you jump into BOTW2 and BAM full circle kinda and this is all just me spitballing it gave me chills how I had this thought and now I can’t get over it
That would be lame as link has already “died”
No, lol. If so that would be far less Epic than a whole Moon threatening to crash into the World.
It's going to be based on corruption but here you are clearly tasked to restore the boring Sword. Which is good - as the 'Green Hand' seems more refreshing and interesting than the Boring Sword in it's own right. If Fi does feature - that will be great lore like Skyward which was a far better game than Breath of the Empty.
I think you’re onto something with that- because I thought they were going to make WW HD for the switch and TP HD for the switch but outta no where came SS… I thought it was an interesting take. And maybe because of, like you said- to help explain the story of Botw2 so they understand why the sword is doing what it’s doing and possibly showing that Fi is crying for help or something along the lines of such.
I have a weird theory that I don't really know what to think of... if Link were to have died, perhaps time travel is somehow involved in order to save him and the Master sword. It would be odd, but what if the glowing hand that we see in the first look trailer is Link's hand in the future saving Link from the past? pretty farfetched, I know haha
@@kelseytaylor3549 but we do know that time travel does exist in Zelda tho- like in Age of Calamity (egg boi) so it’s not as far fetched as you think
Honestly when it comes to Zelda I’m never mad at a delay, it always just means an even better game is coming
Word
I like this way of getting the Master Sword "out of the way" in the beginning of the game so we can start depowered. It's different in that we will likely actually have it for the entire duration of the game but have to repair it or maybe find places in the sky to purify it. That gold glowing light in front of Link is maybe something to help heal it.
I don't think that light on Link's hand has anything to do with the triforce but is the power of the hand/spirits/whatever possessed Link. It glows when he's using a power. It's cool to see it up close!
And I'm a little disappointed about the delay but not much. We were all expecting an end of year release anyway so next spring isn't too much longer of a wait.
It might replace the sheika slate. That tech is embedded in links arm so he can use stasis, ice, etc.
@@Ali-nt1ys yeah that's what I'm thinking too. They probably want to move away from the sheikah heavy aspect of the original but need another mechanic to let us do cool stuff like that haha
I REALLY hope we see Ganondorf with his trident in this game, holding it in his human form. Something we have never seen before. He only uses it in beast form. It would be sooo badass to see him use it in human form.
I would love for part of the game to revolve around earning the triforce of courage and unlocking powers associated with it. I would imagine something similar to the powers the champions give to Link. The triforce of courage doesn't seem to have powers confirmed for it and we see what the other 2 pieces can do in other games.
That would be so badass.
It has always seemed to me that the Triforce of Courage is more like a trophy. Zelda and Ganondorf are given significant power ups from the triforce of wisdom and triforce of power. The only time i can think of where Link receives some type of power is when he was initially pulled into the Twilight infested Faron Woods and instead of Link becoming a spirit like all the other NPCs, the triforce of courage turns Link into a wolf. That’s about the only time the ToC helps him. Link doesn’t need the ToC to perform anything he’s done in the games, it’s simply all his skill that he rightfully earned
I hope that the game start with link being op and fully kitted out from breath of the wild and you get to play the tutorial section with full hearts and equipment. Then at the end of the tutorial link and zelda find the hand and the body and link gets injured and you reset to 3 hearts and no equipment. I just think it would be cool, tie the sequel in nicely, and give a reason for link being weak again.
That's a very important point. That's something that sequels can struggle with.
I think this would be a great addition, and reminds me of Metroid Prime where you get to use many late game abilities in the tutorial before losing everything and starting from scratch. Hopefully it's more impactful in BOTW 2, though.
I like it when games do that. It shows that you did indeed grow beforehand but you now have to work to succeed your previous potential.
The old God of War games did this idea right. Going from 1 to 2, Kratos is overpowered and comes equipped right away with the first game's most powerful magic spell: Poseidon's Rage. Then, Kratos gives all his energy into the Blade of Olympus after falling into a trick by Zeus, resetting his stats properly for the rest of the game. It happens in 3 as well; you have buffed health and magic from 2, as well as the Blade of Olympus itself, but then Kratos is thrown down to the river Stix which absorbs his old strength and resets him there as well.
@@brumdawg_millionaire7330 it’s used to great effect in the Yakuza series. The game starts with you controlling a busted, overpowered protagonist. Then he gets arrested for 15 years and is rusty
At the end of the day a year-ish is nothing. That weird master sword is fascinating though. It looks deeply corroded or something. Probably means we will be actively re-forging it is all, but I'm very interested
Maybe the damage was to free Demise's spirit entirely
As someone who is also an Elder Scrolls fan that isn't big on MMORPGs, I can't even begin to be upset about a measly year. I don't blame Bathesda for not having a lot for me, they have other IPs to also keep up to standard, and I don't blame Nintendo for the same reasons. They aren't going to make every person there drop what they're doing to get a single game out faster for me and other fans, that would be unfair to people in other fandoms and terrible for business over-all. I'm not going to lose sleep over getting a great game later rather than sooner. Particularly not over what's realistically a very small amount of my life to wait for it.
@@YourWaywardDestiny I don't get how people can be so upset when games are delayed especially when Nintendo has been so transparent about this game and how much the development has been slowed over the past couple years. It is definitely best when an "actual" game is released instead of a game they didn't seem to care about because they released it as part of the product instead of something finished. I want my whole yard mown rather than zig zag lines Lol
I know, especially because it was most likely coming out in october or november, so it’s really only pushed back a few months.
@@Doubleaa500 The lawn-care analogy is perfect, and I'm going to start using it from here on. Just imagining someone coming up to me and going "well, it's 3/4ths done, so what are you complaining about?" and seeing weird patches of long grass at random throughout the yard is EXACTLY what it's like to release an "almost there" game before it's 100% ready.
@@YourWaywardDestiny Haha thanks!
I feel the developers are too pressured and they get anxious and don't think straight when pressure is put on them. It's best when they have communication all the time, but there are bad butt hurt people who send death threats to specifically the cyberpunk devs when that was a thing that get too out of hand.
The idea of reforging the Master Sword definitely gives me some Minish Cap vibes - even though there is no real reason to think they are connected.
I just loved Minish Cap and it would be awesome if some of those expanded features included a re-introduction of the Picori.
I have a feeling that if the weapon system stays the same the broken master sword will act as an unbreakable emergency weapon.
It would start extremely weak and short ranged, likely outclassed by even cheap moblin tools, but over the course of the game slowly restore its strength.
Hopefully with its lower strength they will not have it "lose its energy" making the master sword actually good to use in battle and not just as the legendary tree chopper.
I’m saddened that we waited so long only for it to be delayed but am happy that they’re making this eventual masterpiece even greater!
It took 8 years to make red dead redemption 2 and look how it turned, this will definitely be worth the wait my friend
well its kind of Nintendos philosophy NOT to release something they aint confident about.
they try to keep quality at a high standard which comes at the cost of time itself but this will at the end, make for a greater user experience.
so it basically benefits all.
@@Dennzyl Chibi-Robo Ziplash...
That is a very valid sentiment. Some people here act as if others didn't have a right to feel disappointed or sad by the delay
I'm actually happy about the delay because it brings a higher chance of having TP/WW port on the Switch during the summer...
On Links tunic at the bottom of the green part there is in fact a triforce pattern. And it looks like Link doesn’t have the usual sheath for the master sword, maybe destroyed or lost with his other gear.
Edit: After some thought I also think the symbol on Links hand is a rune. A replacement of the shekia slate runes in botw. I think it shows what spell Link has equipped
Bruh
The sheikah slate is with Zelda, she's the original owner of it after all
Umm
you didn’t understand what i was saying so i won’t be rude. what i was saying was this is a way for link to have new abilities now that zelda has the sheika slate and instead of sheika runes it’s now spell runes.
Great video as always ! Really thankfull I've found your chanel in the past year.
I always love your eloquent approach on the videos
I think we all knew in our hearts that 2023 was a more reasonable expectation 😅
I wonder if these sky islands will actually play a much smaller role than we might be imagining so far.. much like the Silent Realm of Skyward Sword though a bit more traversal/puzzle driven and fully original, environmentally…
Though still very curious about the one massive sky building we’ve seen so far which added much more intrigue to the seeming spatter of tiny islands 😁
Dude I was literally waiting for you upload a video on this!
Me too
You channel inspires me to start my Zelda channel in Brazil. Thank you so much! ❤️ Keep on it! We are with you.
Congrats for 580k zeltik! I’ve been here since you had 500 subscribers ❤️
My reaction when I saw the broken Master Sword was: "Ouch, that's BAD!" And I basically gasped of worry. Seeing the mightiest weapon in the franchise destroyed, is not really pleasant.
For real. The damn thing looks like it was torn to shreds and then burned; Not a very pleasant sight to see.
Ahh, almost my exact reaction. I feel that so much...
I had the same thought, I got sad about it haha
"I'm fighting for my fucking life"
-Fi probably
If anyone remembers the original Star Wars Clone Wars micro-series, Link's right arm in this game reminds me a lot of the "Ghost Hand" storyline from that show. The markings on the area around the arm are similar to those applied to Anakin in that storyline, the connection between a right arm and a likely-dark power, etc.
I completely forgotten the similarities of them until you mentioned it. That's very interesting.
While they're at it, can we get General Grievous from that show too? :D He was so damn cool.
Hoka tep! Hoka tep! Hoka tep!
@@theoaremevano3227 I could see something like that in the form of a Yiga Clan enforcer whose body has been reduced to mostly Shiekah tech. But if they went that route, I personally would prefer something more like Obito from Naruto Shippuden so there can be a proper "evil ninja" boss fight in a Breath of the Wild game, rather than a joke like Master Kohga.
Man, this really takes me back to watching your videos through all the years and delays leading up to Breath of the Wild! Time flies, glad to see you’re still going strong.
the way you piece everything together....wow. i hadnt even thought about any of this stuff you said, amazing
Not even slightly upset about the delay, surprisingly. I suppose that waiting so long already has made a few more months seem pretty inconsequential, especially when I know that it will make my experience even more special.
I knew I could expect Zeldatube to deliver within a few hours
@zeltik i saw the Nintendo announcement pop on my screen, but instead of clicking on it I RAN to your channel to hear it from you. You're amazing at anything you put your hand to. God bless!
Zeltik I’ve been following you since the original Zelda U theory videos. Loving you breath of the wild 2 theories. Feels very nostalgic!
I always felt that early 2023 was likely, even from the beginning. Unfortunately it's too late to really take advantage of the first game's momentum, but I feel like Nintendo is setting the date late to ensure they don't need further delays. I will always be ready for a Zelda game regardless of when it releases. It's a long wait, but we can never truly know exactly what is going on and staying positive is the best we can do.
If the Master Sword is broken, meaning Fi was probably heavily effected in someway, wouldn’t that mean Demises consciousness be able to escape the Master Sword, and when he gets to Ganondorfs body, he will be revived?
Edit: Some of Demises consciousness could still be in the MS and went unnoticed. The Zelda series also tends to contradict itself a lot so there’s that too.
oh
Oh
OH
*OH*
Ooooooh!
It doesn't, remember that after Demise was sealed away, Fi reported barely any of his consciousness was left and Past Impa said it was her duty to guard it until his consciousness had completely been eradicated.
Present day Impa then disintegrating into light after they return means she had fulfilled that duty and no longer needed to stick around, meaning Demise's consciousness is completely gone, there's nothing of him left in the Master Sword.
I feel like this sequence of events is something literally everyone looks over despite it being a pretty blatant confirmation that Demise is completely dead.
OH NO.
@@ArceusDX There still could be a small amount of his consciousness that went unnoticed, and Impa never said how long it would take to disappear forever. Also, the Zelda series tends to contradict its self a lot so there’s that too.
I love very single one of your videos man. I love Zelda and your channel so keep up the good work 👍🏻
a detail i noticed in the new footage is the very long nails on link's right hand, almost looking like a claw, similar to the hand we see grabbing onto ganondorf, which makes me think that link doesn't just put on the bracelet, but that he loses his arm to malice and has the weird spectral hand grafted onto him
Something I notice you didn't mention is that we finally saw Link's face! Everyone was going crazy, saying something was drastically different about it, but nope, they just didn't show it yet
this debunks alot of therioes. most of which being face related but also that fake leak were hereturend it to the korok fotest
So one of the main objectives will be restore the master sword before facing Ganondorf... sounds pretty good to me!
Sadly we will have to wait a little more for it...
If you look at the browning parts of the master sword, they seem to be similar to the bands on Link’s arm. I think the green hand is not only keeping the corruption from destroying Link, but also the Master Sword.
In essence, a slapped together cage. It's not meant to be a permanent solution, not even close, but a temporary one to buy some time.
@@dragonbornexpress5650 Exactly!!
@@dragonbornexpress5650 I wouldn't like to see Link die, but I also got that feeling from the first trailer.
Another small detail is that the scabbard for the Master Sword isn't the original from BOTW, it's just some straps, which further exemplifies that the sword is extremely damaged, without its unique scabbard.
I don’t mind this game being delayed at all. BOTW was my favorite game of all time and I have such high hopes for the sequel! I believe in Nintendo and the vision that Eiji Aonuma has.
This is just my prediction but I think there is a real possibility that in the sequel to BOTW we could be riding the dragons!!!! Remember in BOTW when Naydra (the ice dragon) was corrupted/infested with malice and had to be freed by Link in the Spring of Wisdom side quest? This shows Ganon already showed interest in the elemental dragons and possibly wanted to use them as part of his corrupted/malice infested army to go along with the guardians and divine beasts. While in these trailers for the sequel we have seen Link and Zelda exploring what seems to be Zonai ruins, Link uses a new shield/dragon head flamethrower weapon, as well as the final shot of Hyrule castle levitating via malice including the same exact theme music that plays when a dragon shows up in the original BOTW game!!! I like to think that the Zonai tribe were good people that worshipped the dragons and chose to live among the clouds with them, because remember as stated in BOTW…..you have to be pure of heart to even be able to see the dragons! I think the new “floating islands” were the home of the Zonai tribe and I’m hoping Link and Zelda are gonna storm and take back Hyrule castle from Ganon while riding one of the elemental dragons with the others following!!! That’d be sooooo kick asssss
I'm feeling exactly the same!
So glad I'm not the only one who thinks that the zonai are involved, too.
I think it’d be awesome if they brought Fi back! Even Ghirahim if they found a clever way to pull it off.
Thank you for your nice analysis videos Zeltik. I really like watching your Zelda videos the most.
I think maybe the third location where the game is playing could be the Sacred Realm. But its only a guess.
OMG great video! I just noticed that in the new outfit Link wears there is a Triforce depiction (repeated in a row) in the front, we can see it clearly at 6:20 that raises some more questions
The more we learn, the more it feels like this game, placed at the end of the Zelda timeline, is going to be tied one way or another to Skyward Sword, placed at the beginning. And I'm all for it!
Nintendo can take all the time they need, if they feel like they need it to perfect the sequel to one of their best Zelda games. I'd rather wait, than have a mishandled mess.
It'll be interesting to see how they make restoring the master sword important, since if the game is non linear you can still just go straight to Ganon and kill him. Also, even if you do all the quests to restore it, you may not even use it in the fight. So maybe the sword has usage other than just for killing Ganon? Otherwise the entire main quest line will be even less useful than the divine beasts
Might just serve as a key to the final area, or maybe it's like the dreamnail in hollow knight, and it's needed to fight a true final boss or get the true ending
Maybe this one won’t be where you can just go straight to ganon and beat the game
It's unlikely but maybe if you defeat Ganon without restoring the Master Sword, it would trigger a bad ending.
Maybe it will force you to go to a few points to beat the game, but will give you enough freedom to not need to do anything else aside from going to a few locations and getting whatever is there, while also giving you many ways to reach these locations.
I can definitely see the game being slightly more linear compared to the first, as a response to the negative story feedback. The game probably won't use memories since the timeline for this hyrule is already established, so the story may be happening in the present. In that case using the sword as a progression marker would make more sense. Either way, I think the master sword here is a big clue to the game having a new structure.
you have one of the most memberable intro sounds ever. Idk if its just a standered sfx in botw but i stopped playing/watching botw content years ago and last night this video came up in my up next while my eyes were closed, i knew it was a zeltik video somehow.
Always great. 👍
The Master Sword could be linked to Link and it could reflect the damage link has on his arm and it could represent the fight of trying to keep the malice contained (kind of like the curse on Dumbledore hand in half blood prince) also Zelda said " our hope rests in you, to be forever by the Hero's side. Again, we pray, that the two of you will be stronger, TOGETHER AS ONE."
3:14, his arm isn’t even just glowing it’s also transformed, as his fingers kind of end with claws rather than regular nails. Also hinting that the green color I feel like it’s some sort of possession but who knows. Super excited for next year and amazing video as always!! :P
I started following you channel way back… when we only had a small teaser of BOTW and you still where designing your logo etc..
Crazy how big it got… and now once again we are all waiting .. on delays… for the next Zelda lol… keep
Up the good work.
Great Video, thanks! :)
Seeing as everyone expected a late 2022 release already, this is only a few months longer than people thought. Not NEARLY as servere of a delay as the first game. Let's hope we see more at E3 🙏
Yeah, once it became obvious that spring this year was especially unlikely, the end of the year has felt like the target date. A few months more at that point make no difference to me.
Yeah, it's like...2 or 3 months more
I was getting Xenoblade 3 this christmas anyway xd
Best part of the announcement was Aonuma looking fresh with that new cut👌
good job bro, fast as hell.
This two clips felt like they dropped a bomb! Now I'm even more excited about the sequel! I'd be very happy to welcome Fi once again, I really liked her character in Skyward Sword. You didn't try speculating about the place where this clip is from: it might be a temple? Thank you for your video, I love your content!
How could you possibly like her she gave the most painfully obvious “tips” and her ballet dance was just wierd. She annoyed the ever loving piss out of me I hope I never have to see her again. She’s one of the reasons I still haven’t finished that game and I’ve tried twice to get thru it. She just rubs me the wrong way man. Makes me feel like I’m 6 years old for how she talks down to me with the most obvious comments. “80% percent chance it’s hot in here.” No shit Fi it’s a volcano. 😒😑
I don't know why, but I'm always happy waiting for a Zelda and it getting delayed. Every Zelda game is a masterpiece, and that's all I care about - a refined, legendary experience. Also, I can't wait to forge/reforge or repair the master sword again! I loved doing that in Skyward Sword and Wind Waker!
Been playing Zelda since the original on NES. Saying “every” Zelda game is a masterpiece is a stretch. Only a handful are masterpieces imo
I fully agree, and for what it's worth, been also playing Zelda since NES, and I still think it was a masterpiece for its time😉
@@GeorgeZimmermen They're not all masterpieces, but there are more than just a handful of classic games in the Zelda series. Except for Zelda II, the Oracles, the Four Swords games, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks and Tri Force Heroes (that's 8 games on 19), every single other game in the series is considered a classic by a lot of people (yes even Skyward Sword, mostly for its story I guess). A few of them were genre defining when they got released (Zelda I, A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, Breath of the Wild), the others perfected and played with the conventions of either the classic 2D formula (Link's Awakening, The Minish Cap, A Link Between Worlds) or the 3D formula (Majora's Mask, The Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword). These 11 games are masterpieces. The Oracles games are actually really good too, and Zelda II, while having a lot of glaring issues, still was really important to the development of the series. That really only leaves 5 games that were kinda mediocre, and three of them are multiplayer almost ''party'' Zelda games. Zelda is a monument in gaming history, and that's why.
@@alexgalipeau6443 you’re preaching to the choir kid. Like i said. Been playing zelda since the original, you’re not changing anyones mind here. I was there when ocarina released and experienced the impact. I was playing a link to the past before i started kindergarten. Only a select few zelda games are masterpieces imo. While im at it, Skyward sword was awful. Especially for a 2011 game. Felt so dated and boring
@@GeorgeZimmermen To each their own! Honestly at this point, I only wish that the sequel to BOTW is gonna be a masterpiece
First of all... now they could really be bringing the HD remakes of Windwaker and Twilight Princess to the Switch later this year! That would be so incredibly awesome!
I really hope so, even though it would probably mean they’re direct ports of the WiiU games without any tweaks. I’d still welcome that to have them on the Switch.
@@joshm9363 "Without any tweaks" wouldn't work, since the Switch lacks a second screen.
@@NuiYabuko aren't they both entirely playable with the Wii U pro controller?
If it wasn't clear I meant they wouldn't likely change any fundamental aspects of the game, and if we get them they'll probably just be straight ports.
Nah they won't
Cool triforce cloth work on the lower left tunic
Wow that was fast! Leave it to Zeltik to never disappoint. 😌
It scares me how quickly you can produce videos
Example: When Age of Calamity came out, he made a summary of the entire story, a half hour video, which came out four days after release of the game.
I haven't heard your intro in so long and it saddens me that I now hear it with quite sad news. But I try to see it positively as well! It just means they're working really hard on the game to make it extra special
If you ask me, this is good news. If we've learned anything in open world games this year, it's that potentially great games can be hampered by being rushed (Legends Arceus) and games that take their time can live up to the hype (Elden Ring)
what r u talking abt his last video was 2 days ago
@@thekeyandthegate4093 Totally agreed!
@@athernity111 Yeah and I haven't watched any of his videos in the past 1,5 years. Wild concept, I know
@@medjed3621 ohh i see.. his videos r so good tho
The glow could have something to do with the bow of light. When you fire a arrow of light into the sky or distance, after a certain while, it just breaks like the master sword beam, after breaking, it leaves a golden glow similar to the one seen in this video.
When it comes to the pulsing light being slightly different from Fi's communication in the BotW flashback, it could just be that they decided to adjust the visual effect to make it a little more noticeable. Back when they decided on the original effect, they might not have yet known it'd be an important visual cue in the sequel, so it wasn't initially designed with that in mind. A little bit of touching up how it looks like would be more or less expected, so I wouldn't take the slight difference as an indication that it means something different. The light relating to Fi sounds the most plausible to me.
They played Elden Ring and went right back to the drawing board😂😂😂
The way the Master Sword is glowing in the trailer makes me think more of when it powers up in divine beasts or against Guardians. Or finishing Trial of the Sword if you like. The gold energy could well be like the sacred flames empowering it, I agree.
thanks for this
Another detail is the markings on the bow being very similar to the ones on Link's right shoulder. That coupled with the markings being a different color than the strange arm and even covering parts of it suggests that it's likely just part of the clothing set. Kind of like the warpaint on the Barbarian Set.
Actually, the part right on the shoulder looks kind of like the eye on the back of Link's shield, now that I think about it.
"A delayed game can become great, but a rushed game will be forever bad"
-Shigeru Miyamoto
What about majoras mask
Amen to that
He didn't even say that line. It's made up.
@@spencercarlton4006 Majora's Mask wasn't a rushed game; it was a game born from a rush. They knew they had one year to make a game, and they set out to make a game that could feasibly be made in one year.
@@spencercarlton4006 If you make a game that is so good, you can just put the whole thing in a blender and serve whatever comes out as a new game.
Delay is good. I honestly think it's ready, they just don't want to ship in this cramped year. It's a wise decision in my eyes.
They likely knew this year would be cramped when they announced a potential 2022 release for BotW2.
Just came back to say that I was playing BOTW 1 last night and I noticed one thing - after upgrading the Urbosa’s Fury power up to Urbosa’s Fury +, the “flame” surrounding the Vah Naboris icon on the pause menu reminds me a lot of the yellow / gold flame link is standing in front of in the new teaser.
that shirt adorning the Triforce at the bottom, The green part.
What I gather:
We all know this is kind of parallel to Princess Mononoke, Link is experiencing a kind of curse. I think the curse is Ganondorf taking over link, attempting to possess him if you will. Why? Because he ends up with the triforce of courage every time and he wants that power. The curse could also just be game over if it takes over Link, as in, he dies from it consuming him. I think that someone crafted the arm piece for him to slow it's spread and that someone is either Purah/Robbie or the monks and maybe both. I would not be surprised if Link has to do something to keep it from spreading or if we are facing some sort of clock - such as the one in Majora's Mask.
I think we also might be going to space. Maybe we will visit another world? Something beyond. I know this: He's not mentioning underground. He's not mentioning undersea. We've been there. But space is an untouched space and it's 'larger'. I think it may have a larger story than we think and that we are going to have to go back to when time and space were created to solve this one.
I'm excited. I need more though...we have been waiting for so long and all we got was a few seconds. I want to see a little more!!! I know I'm not alone. XD
Something I don’t think I’ve ever heard mentioned is how much the prosthetic arm and green energy match the markings on Midna’s arms. I would love a return to a reverse plane of Hyrule. This could be extrapolated from Zelda’s “…steeped in the glowing embers of twilight…” from the memory where she consecrates Link as the Goddess’s chosen hero
On Link's green garb over his left shoulder, we can see the tail of a dragon in the same style as what's on the traveler's shield (This dragon somewhat resembles the dragon head in Zonai ruins, Ganondorf's armor in Twilight Princess HD, and the flamethrower shield in the second trailer). In the second trailer during the falling scene, we see that the back of this same garment likewise has a tail, though it has low enough resolution that we could be missing the head details.
Does anyone remember the A Link to the Past comic that was originally posted in the 1992 issues of Nintendo Power? Link’s right arm got corrupted in that story, too, and it would get worse when he lost courage.
I’m sure BOTW 2 will be a very different story, but it’s an interesting connection.
6:13 there is triforce symbols on his outfit
More like 6:14
It wouldn’t make sense for post-BotW Link to start the game without the Master Sword. So the damaged sword might be his weak, starter-weapon. And it can be upgraded over the game.
I'm here for these hard-core breakdowns
Well, bummer. I guess I appreciate they took the time to let us know.
Could you imagine if the fierce deity was in this game to help link. I know it would never happen but I could imagine. I'd love for termina to exist in this game.
MM and TP are the best pre-Botw games they ever made. I’d love to see either of those worlds again I swear. No surprise Tatl and Midna were my favourite companions ever either. Sassy always wins.
After Elden Ring came out and I explored how amazing it’s open world and game mechanics were, I wondered how Breath of the Wild 2 designers would react to it and integrate new features based on the incredible world that FromSoftware made. A part of me does wonder if the delay is in response to incorporate new ideas inspired by Elden ring into breath of the wild 2.
That or Horizon Forbidden West. Because Imo, all of the game footage we've seen looks completely polished and finished.
I like the fact that ER really doesn’t lead or help the player much at all. When a character has dialogue; you have to pay attention. (When I realized there’s no quest menu, I started taking notes) I hope BotW 2 follows 1 in this regard - you get initial help from Zelda and then along the way a few hints, but the devs mostly left it to the player
My favorite Zelda RUclipsr!!!
Just an idea, what if we get traditional dungeons of sorts, and in them link gets new abilities. Gold=time and green=some sort of seal. Or spirit. Each new ability is used to defeat the main boss. Ganons would be the green one. It could be possibly the 7 sages powers, or just a new thing. Also, like it heals the master sword, it could heal links arm slowly
The delay is obviously a mixed blessing. I was hoping to spend my holiday, among other things, playing this game. If they say they need more time, I can respect that and trust that when they DO deliver the product, it'll be in peak condition/form.
However, I gotta say, if the main crux of this game is repairing the Master Sword...idk how I feel about that. Because we've more or less done that several times already. We basically forged and awakened it in Skyward Sword, we unlocked its power in Wind Waker, and we powered it up in the BotW DLC. And since Skyward Sword is among my least favorite Zelda games, and this game having a strong sky element, it just makes me feel uneasy.
But BotW is my 2nd favorite Zelda game, and with them putting plenty of time and care into the game, as well as the rise in some great open world games to draw inspiration from since 2017, I have enough faith that I'll enjoy this game.
I think maybe the gold light, is sort of the same as the “turning back time” ability that Link seems to have in the new game. I completely agree it could be restoring the master sword to its previous state. Yes it could also be Zelda’s power but I think Link could have manifested that himself. Potentially the point of the game is to master that ability? So he can restore the master sword? Or maybe it’s just the gods power or something.
This is totally speculation and theories.
My friend you are SO FREAKING SMART!
That is so calming! I'm so glad they pushed the datum back! I think it is important and necessary so they can come up with an even better game
