I hope that there are much more villages and settlements. It would be cool to see that after breath of the wild, people started to rebuild and expand the other towns. It would make revisiting Hentino village that much cooler if there were a few other streets now, and more settlers. Or heading to a stable, but now it has a farm and some houses, or Castle town and those destroyed villages are being rebuilt and as you progress in the game, the reconstruction progresses as well.
I hope they add more memorable music throughout the lands. It'll make the game feel more alive. The only problem with BOTW is the "breath" part. I think it's okay to be a little louder and in your face with the music.
I think it would be cool to have a stats page in the menu where it would list lots of info like: How many Bokoblins you've killed or how many arrows you've spent or how many miles you've traveled, your best time for taking out an enemy camp. There's a hundred things they could list. I think it would be a fun addition.
Agreed! I loved discovering most of the villages but with the overworks being so huge, I felt it was kind of wasted. I get that it was supposed to show how desolate the world was but I really hope they utilize it more than just finding items and killing enemies.
But, but didn't you see the trailers? Hyrule is in worse shape, why are you expecting more people in towns? You should have expected that they already evacuated or something.
Something I hope they add is more personal aesthetic variety. I liked how botw gave you so many armor sets and the dye feature and I hope that in the new game they expand on it and it won't be as limited.
One thing I'd like to see is the weapon quickselect being so if you go all the way to the right you end up at the left again. It's just such a pain to switch when you have many weapons on you
@@happyleaf9635 ocarina of times dungeons were alot longer, and a bit more complicated and most of the dungeons needed an item to advance which would youd either find inside the dungeon or somewhere in hyrule
Yea, that's definitely my biggest negative about BotW. The different dungeons just seemed soulless compared to the amazing dungeon design in other Zelda games. If only they've gotten as much love as Hyrule in this game.
I think a great idea is instead of being able to fix your weapons, you can buy weapons at a blacksmith at each town or village. That way durability is still some thing that you have to work around, but it is easier to get the weapons you’re looking for.
Hookshot (or Pullcaster, but it was totally a Hookshot) plus glider was already a great combo in Horizon Forbidden West. Being able to tactically fling yourself into the sky to gain altitude and then sneak attack enemies by gliding above them was great in that game, and I genuinely hope that the folks making TotK were paying attention to that.
I hope they go nuts on the exploration part. BotW had decent exploration. More caves, more items, lore and not just koroks for rewards. Also more and better sidequests like in the older games. Take Tarry Town and make more of such sidequests
I've never had a problem with the cut scenes. You were trying to find out what happened in the past and they were merely giving you a glimpse at what took place. Thumbs up.
I would like to add more meaningful side quests. I would love side quests where you would need past Zelda items such as the hook shot or mirror shield to complete it. A nice throwback.
I think we need a 4 minute trailer that will provide quick answer to our questions on whether or not there's underwater by showing a brief gameplay of underwater exploration and if there's any dungeons, they should probably show off brief exploration in a few of the dungeons. This could also include the map being expanded underground which includes deep abysses
I think we could get a 15 minute Nintendo Direct solely on this game like 6 weeks before release which will probably show more details on the game and dlc and amiibo etc
@@mubzytv i think that’s a little too much information, and that way you will literally be spoiled of what happens in the game before you even play it. I would way 1 week before release is a better time, and also tone down the information given so that when we play we play as spoiler free as possible.
Firstly part of the mystique of all zelda games and their marketing is the "legend" part of the games, the mystery of forgotten/hidden knowledge etc, so them being vague about things is exactly what they have always done as to allow the players to speculate before release and then to have that "zelda feeling" when they play it, the feeling only zelda games really have, that feeling of really not knowing WTF is behind the next door, a true adventure. Secondly BotW was a literally leap of them stepping (backwards) in a new direction of the franchise, reimagining it. As well as it was at the ass end of the WiiU life cycle and delayed for switch launch. They showed off lots of pre release development footage and the full treehouse gameplay of the plateau to try and warm the fans into the new direction the franchise was going. Thirdly, since then nintendo have come to a point where they are solely doing their own marketing via direct (possibly be at E3 as well) and have made some sort of decision to only market games a few months before release, I assume so as to cut marketing budgets as well as the new trend of online marketing being the most profitable way to market games. I would expect a large nintendo direct in the next few weeks focused solely on TotK, maybe in march.
I want a handful of dungeons that are like Hyrule Castle. Lots of passageways, lots of hidden secrets, mini bosses scattered around. Honestly I feel like everyone criticizes the divine beasts as weak entries for zelda dungeons, but forgets that Hyrule Castle is quite possibly one of the best dungeons in the series. Very much a standout part of the game for me.
I hope that we'll be able to explore the lands beyond Hyrule in the sequel, the lands beyond the great canyon at the edge of the map from the first game.
The song of storms in ocarina of time could make it rain or make the rain stop. You should be able to get the ocarina later in the game and stop it from raining when you are climbing
I think it would be cool to explore more of Link's background and family We get little hints like Zelda mentioning his father and the ownable Hateno house that's theorized to be Link's old home. I'd also like Link be a little more expressive this time around. I know his whole thing is being silent and stoic, but all he does in BOTW's cutscenes is stand there with the same blank expression. I know Link's whole purpose is to be a projection of the player, but he always had a personality of his own that I'd like to see more.
I think Tears of the Kingdom needs to have a mix of old, common, and new. I would like to see old things brought back, even if they were from Breath of the Wild, including the open world and some weapons. I would like to see the common Zelda elements, like the dungeons, story, and items. I would like to see new things, like new characters, an advance in the overall story of the Legend of Zelda, or new items and weapons.
I've been binging your channel like crazy in the last few days my friend - absolutely fantastic videos you put out! You make my heart warm too with your love for Nintendo and the great nostalgia it brings you; thank you my friend, keep up the awesome work, and God bless!
Ok, I know this is a controversial but I don't think Botw has a bad story. In fact, from a writing perspective learning about the arcs and history of the champions while you begin friendship with the new ones is so cool! It's just non linear, and uts better than a lot of big blockbuster films these days
Thanks for articulating these! I'm sure many other fans have a similar list. For your last item, I think we can almost guarantee the main overworld will be refreshed. From the promotional artwork, we know that Death Mountain is consumed by malice, so I'm expecting the magma is gone and we can explore inside of the crater and the network of tunnels underneath. Additionally, there is a wind funnel in the north, so it could be that the entire snowlands are consumed in a blizzard. If I were Nintendo, I would freeze or super-heat Zora's domain, and flood the desert. So fired up for the impending Nintendo direct to see how many of these are confirmed!
If this game has sky, ocean, and cave exploration with a better story and traditional dungeons, it could possibly be the best open world game we've ever seen
A village in the sky. Being able to ride a dragon. The River Devil from Zelda 2 returning as an overworld boss. The mirror shield, and being able to use it in puzzles by reflecting light. A playable Zelda. A blacksmith. New recipes. New wildlife. New weapons. New enemies. A new race... perhaps the Minish?
I hope they bring Loftwings back for exploration. If we're going to have a big expansive sky to explore, I want a fast and fun method of getting around more easily instead of slowly gliding with a paraglider or waiting for some moving platform and Loftwings would be the perfect way to fix this! It be a missed opportunity if they weren't included and they could even have the Zelda & Loftwing amiibo grant you a special Loftwing mount kind of like how the Twilight Princess Link amiibo gave you Epona in Breath of the Wild.
What I would love to have for the next Zelda game is the option to store weapons instead of having breakable ones or drop them if you no longer have space in your inventory
weapon custimization would be cool. it would give the ancient tech labs a bit more of a purpose instead of just barely upgrading runes or exchanging scrap metal for more scrap metal.
I definitely hope we will get some QoL-improvement regarding that situation when you open a chest with a weapon and your inventory is full. Other than that, I don't have many wishes. I really hope the world will still feel exciting to explore though!
I've always wondered why so many people want a hookshot in botw. It would be so out of place, there isn't a need for it, you can already climb and glide. Everything is reachable without one so it doesn't make any sense to me why you would need one other than for very specific times.
I agree with so many of these! My main hopes are underwater exploration and some kind of rain gear, but I don’t want that to be too easy to get. I was also pretty disappointed with the Divine Beast dungeons and Calamity Ganons - the dungeons could be hard but the bosses were mostly SO easy. I can’t wait for it to come out ahhhhh
I would love a big side mission, like the finding korok seeds was a massive mission but it was one that didn’t give you a great feeling of fulfilment in the end. I would love to see a big side mission like the one in wind waker, the gallery figurine quest.. where link was asked by an artist to take photos of every character in the game, including bosses and animals, and the artist in forest haven would do sculptures of them. People would visit and look at them. As tedious as it was I loved that side quest so much. It was fulfilling and fun. If they had something similar to that would be amazing. But I doubt it :(
Things I want that were not mentioned in your list: 1. Give Link one speaking line at the end of the game 2. Transfer things from your BotW game file (Link's house with displayed weapons, Registered horses, Terry Town, Master Cycle just to name a few) 3. I'd like Link to have a garden, a cuckoo coup, and a horse stable at his house. The garden to grow any fruit, flower, fungi, vegetable he finds in the wild. Imagine a positive for when it rains in the area. 4. Let me pet the dogs. And adopt one just like a registered horse. 5. Have a long-run sidequest of rebuilding Hyrule. Just like how you helped construct Terry Town, now it's time to rebuild bridges and houses that were destroyed by the Calamity. 6. Post-ending content. I don't mean a cutscene. I mean new NPC dialogue, new sidequests, maybe new mini-games. 7. More Kass. He's a traveling minstrel. He most likely wasn't at Rito village when the large tornado appeared, so he's more free than others of his kind.
All I want is to be able to pet the dogs, implement cats in the game (like TP), own dogs and cats (as little companions because that would be adorable), pet and feed the cats
How about this The story starts as you explore the sky with a light stary theme to the story but as the story progresses you move deeper and deeper first to land then under water and finally to a cave/abyss and as you go deeper the theme gradually grows darker and scarier til the final fight with Ganondorf
For the crafting bit, I agree it should be a simple system. In my head I'd like it so that you can repair weapons with specific items, or with more rare items you can use them to add buffs we saw in botw (better damage when thrown, more durability, attack, etc).
One thing to note about the performance is that Breath of the Wild was originally built for Wii U which was a strange system, and then ported to switch. Mario Odyssey looks and performs a lot better, but released a couple of months after botw. But it was built ground up for switch.
I hope there’s at least 2 ganondorf boss fights with different attack patterns or upgraded versions and more attacks like with the first Ridley battle in Super Metroid. It would really show how powerful ganondorf is and how outmatched you are, even at your peak of your power in BOTW, and that they will add a third health bar for the last battle, showing your growth and the goddess’s supporting you as much as she can. I also think there should be some kind of feature when there’s a blood moon, other than respawning enemies like maybe the enemies are more aggressive.
Yeah, I always thought BOTW's title screen was lame. I had hoped for an epic title sequence after continuing my save file and was greeted with a sideshow of jpegs. We share a lot of the same hopes for this game, hope that most of them make it in!
One way that they could have made the map feel fresh is if the game took place after an extended period of peace in Hyrule, storyline-wise. This would have allowed for lots of construction. New villages, new tribes formed, new power structures (maybe the Yiga clan takes over a territory using some dark energy they found or something). Even things like roads or railways between towns. The villages could all have their own fortresses and towers constructed. The old fortress walls rebuilt. The decaying guardians removed and some rebuilt to protect Hyrule again. Hyrule Castle getting rebuilt would also mean the old ruins could be converted to fortresses which could serve as the big dungeons. Likewise, the monsters flee underground after Ganon is destroyed and build extended networks of tunnels... popping out and raiding villages etc. Open fields could serve as battle grounds as monsters form larger encampments and even their own monster villages for Link to battle his way through. These are some ways to make the old map feel fresh.
instead of climbing gear, they could make a consumable like climbing powder for more grip on your hands so you dont have to switch your gear when it rains. or maybe you can find climbing gloves somewhere in the world that you dont have to equip manually and that once you find them you will never slip. but make the gloves not mandatory for the story so its actually some sort of overworld treasure
What I would love to see is more tiny settlements wcross the map. All the current settlements are at the end of roads in corners of the map pretty much. Of coarse you have the stables, but there really inst much to do there and after u found the 7th one it becomes kind off lame. It would be so fun to just pass by tiny settlements and and farms as u follow the roads.
Something I’d really love to see brought back is Kinstones from Minish Cap. Those things extended my gameplay by hours and hours with exciting little secrets around the map. Also hidden sword techniques!
This is a really well put together video! Compared to other wishes/hopes lists for TotK this one is more down-to-earth, which I like. I think most if not all your points are reasonable to wish for and would improve the game greatly. Many I'm hoping for myself! Thanks for this sincere contribution to the pre-release hype / discourse. :)
I’ve played all the Zelda games (except Spirit Tracks… AND… BOTW). Even tho I have owned BOTW since 2017… I have left it sealed. I also got the official strategy guide (the one updated with the DLC), and have also left it sealed. I plan on opening them up this upcoming Spring Break.
My hopes for this game is the return of motion controlled melee combat like in Wii's two Zelda games, deul wielding swords like in Nintendo Switch Sports, and a southpaw mode.
i think being able to either one to two hand weapons like elden ring would be cool, because in one of the memories in botw he’s two handing the master sword and i thought that would be awesome
I would definitely like the ability to use spells like in Elden Ring, not just the Ice, Fire, Lightning Rod we usually get. The ability to craft not just food, but useable items would be cool too, think fire bombs and such. I know it's not possible, but a Zelda game with the dark nature of Elden Ring would be cool too.
I'd like the option for a survival mode, much like fallout New Vegas or Skyrim has thanks to mods and the creation club. It wouldn't have to do much, just add hunger, slightly harsher weather that can't always be overcome just with clothing or consumables, sleeping and proper fishing. Some of the most fun I had was going through the cold sections in the early game before I had the proper gear or consumables. I basically had to light fires constantly and it made it really challenging but rewarding.
Nobody is talking about the only thing I want. Let us transform into Zoras for water exploration, gorons for lava, and ritos to let us temporarily fly without the use of revalis gale
I’d really like for Tears of the kingdom to have more musical callbacks to older games. And since its “tears of the kingdom” perhaps that means Twilight Princess and Majora’s mask Melodie’s coming back? I loved all the musical callbacks in Breath of the wild
The light crafting system really stood out to me, because we live in an age where every freaking game has to have a crafting system, even if It doesn't make sense. However, because of the variety to items in BOTW, I did feel that a lot of my materials got underutilized. Maybe that's just because of how I played the game, but I want the items to have more of a use without crafting being a requirement. Ideally, crafting would be something you do not just to make the game easier, but to open up new gameplay options.
I want extra storage at our house as the whole Hateno house in BotW felt incomplete. There also seems to be an abandoned concept of the house acting as a stable that someone covered in a video I found a few days ago. Crafting of some sort seems likely with the scene of the broken Master Sword in the trailer.
Since they’re using the old map I hope they have something we’re like parts of the map are like different like there’s different villages added or new structures or something like that
I think that the excitement of discovering new places will be relegated to the sky islands only, since we already know the layout of the overworld. So instead, I’m expecting the excitement in the overworld to be more like “Oh, I wonder what they changed about (location)?” and then going there to see.
There is too a must have: "Once you have defeated Ganondorf, I would like to see a good ending, and after that, the chance to play in a rebuilt Hyrule" (instead of earning a star)
I would like improved bosses for the normal game, but I’d really like the inclusion of Super Bosses as well. A couple of optional super challenging bosses that drop incredibly rare loot and gives us something to hold our focus after the initial game is complete.
My lady and I finally got a switch after some years wanting one. Doing my first play through of breath of the wild. I am still very excited for the new game just to see how they keep it fresh and exciting. 4k on my OLED would be so fun! Great vid keep it up!
I'm definitely sure you gotta save Zelda again, but that won't be the only goal. While BoTW technically had other objectives other than saving Zelda, freeing the Divine Beasts and Champions, those can be skipped. Meanwhile, TotK will definitely at least have the goal to repair the Mastersword, and who knows, maybe the goal isn't save Zelda but reunite Zelda and Link (playing as them both is the distinction here)
I think the light crafting system and a slight update to the cooking system would be good being able to combine feathers, wood and ore and Gems together to make arrows would be awesome alongside repairing gear. with the cooking system being able to combine cooked meals at a prepping table to further boost their effects would be neat, it could also serve as a way to unlocking 'advanced' meals, combining bread and a soup to make a Filling X Soup, or maybe bread with a seared or chilled meat and some herbs to make a sandwich, cake and some honey butter apples for some kind of desert platter, being able to combine duplicate meals into larger portions of the same meal to increase their effects, average, large and jumbo portions of meals. and maybe a cookbook as well to keep track of all the recipes, you can find meal recipes on the walls of stables and in certain buildings in breath of the wild, at least a third of my album was dedicated to snapshots of recipes I'd found while running around like a total spaz, so some way to keep track of them in game outside of dedicating yourself to taking a photo of all the recipes you find would be really helpful.
I personally think that the memories are my favorite bit of the game, because for example: something bad happened at Hyrule castle 100 years ago, and people used to spend their everyday lives there, now it’s a place with just darkness and monsters. The memories make it more scary and emotional. The abandoned places in Zelda BOTW are the most beautiful and emotional places in the game. They should definitely keep the memories in Zelda TOTK
i hope they allow us to register non horses since I really wanted to ride all of the non horse animals in game. Also it would be nice to have zelda be playable at some point in the story even in a small section
Something I was looking forward since the first game came out, is have the way you interact socially with enemies like bokos, moblins and lizalfos further developed. Wearing the bokoblin mask and getting in a camp, being able to share food with them, seeing all their natural interactions... It felt like the natural next step should be to be able to trade with them, make them help you, or help them with some enemy or obstacle, even get some appreciation from them. I get that making them an actual race or culture kinda goes against the whole point of the games, and it would feel wrong to kill them afterwards.
Some people seem to believe that the big bad of this game is Demise himself now that would be cool. I hope this game has the darker tones and the light tones like the sky is light and the ground is dark and gloomy maybe but it try not to have hopes for these games cause its always a surprise
I'd like to see traditional dungeons. I'm also concerned and about the supposed reused map, I hope they can pull this off. Ideally we need a whole new map.
Are we sure it’s ‘tears’ as in crying tears OR is it ‘Tears’ as in tearing a piece of paper or fabric of space, like we see in 1-2 shots of him going through a portal like thing on the underside of a platform 0:12 (I’ve only seen it written down & not spoken by anyone at Nintendo)
I personally didn't like BOTW that much. Was dissapointed by some directions devs went with like weapon durability, story, lack of dungeons and shrines, shrines , shrines. However I am so hyped for this game, hope they somewhat fix those issues.
![What does and does not change after Ganon [contains endboss spoilers and parts of the credits]](/img/1.gif)
I hope that there are much more villages and settlements. It would be cool to see that after breath of the wild, people started to rebuild and expand the other towns.

Absolutely this ^^^
It would be cool seeing Torrey town being a full on city, expanding even after you left
I hope they add more memorable music throughout the lands. It'll make the game feel more alive. The only problem with BOTW is the "breath" part. I think it's okay to be a little louder and in your face with the music.
@@1945-g7v some Slayer while slaying Bokoblins would be cool👍
Yeah me too but im a little scared it will be the opposite with how dark and lonely this game is looking in the trailers
I think it would be cool to have a stats page in the menu where it would list lots of info like: How many Bokoblins you've killed or how many arrows you've spent or how many miles you've traveled, your best time for taking out an enemy camp. There's a hundred things they could list.
I think it would be a fun addition.
Also would be useful for things like speed runs or records!
I 100% agree
kinda like what they did with smash
Amount of bokiblins I've killed: too many
This is not COD where it lists all your kills. Stupid idea.
i would extremely love for them to add more villages or towns
Agreed! I loved discovering most of the villages but with the overworks being so huge, I felt it was kind of wasted. I get that it was supposed to show how desolate the world was but I really hope they utilize it more than just finding items and killing enemies.

I need more hairstyles for Link SO BADD
Praying we get vanity slots for armor
One thing I'd like to see is the weapon quickselect being so if you go all the way to the right you end up at the left again. It's just such a pain to switch when you have many weapons on you
One of my Hope's is that we would get Proper Zelda Dungeons! I've had a lot of fun playing the dungeons in Ocarina of Time.
lol no fuck puzzles
I have only tried BOTW, can u share what’s the difference between BOTW shrines and Ocarina’s dungeons?
@@happyleaf9635 ocarina of times dungeons were alot longer, and a bit more complicated and most of the dungeons needed an item to advance which would youd either find inside the dungeon or somewhere in hyrule

Playable Zelda is unlikely as well as riding a dragon, but the other one... I hope
I hope they bring Loftwings back for exploration. If we're going to have a big expansive sky to explore, I want a fast and fun method of getting around more easily instead of slowly gliding with a paraglider or waiting for some moving platform and Loftwings would be the perfect way to fix this! It be a missed opportunity if they weren't included and they could even have the Zelda & Loftwing amiibo grant you a special Loftwing mount kind of like how the Twilight Princess Link amiibo gave you Epona in Breath of the Wild.
the trailer shows the winged platform... i dont think loftwings need to return if we have this. maybe amiibo loftwing?
What I would love to have for the next Zelda game is the option to store weapons instead of having breakable ones or drop them if you no longer have space in your inventory
weapon custimization would be cool. it would give the ancient tech labs a bit more of a purpose instead of just barely upgrading runes or exchanging scrap metal for more scrap metal.
I definitely hope we will get some QoL-improvement regarding that situation when you open a chest with a weapon and your inventory is full. Other than that, I don't have many wishes. I really hope the world will still feel exciting to explore though!
I've always wondered why so many people want a hookshot in botw. It would be so out of place, there isn't a need for it, you can already climb and glide. Everything is reachable without one so it doesn't make any sense to me why you would need one other than for very specific times.
I agree with so many of these! My main hopes are underwater exploration and some kind of rain gear, but I don’t want that to be too easy to get. I was also pretty disappointed with the Divine Beast dungeons and Calamity Ganons - the dungeons could be hard but the bosses were mostly SO easy. I can’t wait for it to come out ahhhhh
I would love a big side mission, like the finding korok seeds was a massive mission but it was one that didn’t give you a great feeling of fulfilment in the end.
I would love to see a big side mission like the one in wind waker, the gallery figurine quest.. where link was asked by an artist to take photos of every character in the game, including bosses and animals, and the artist in forest haven would do sculptures of them. People would visit and look at them. As tedious as it was I loved that side quest so much. It was fulfilling and fun. If they had something similar to that would be amazing. But I doubt it :(
Things I want that were not mentioned in your list:
1. Give Link one speaking line at the end of the game
2. Transfer things from your BotW game file (Link's house with displayed weapons, Registered horses, Terry Town, Master Cycle just to name a few)
3. I'd like Link to have a garden, a cuckoo coup, and a horse stable at his house. The garden to grow any fruit, flower, fungi, vegetable he finds in the wild. Imagine a positive for when it rains in the area.
4. Let me pet the dogs. And adopt one just like a registered horse.
5. Have a long-run sidequest of rebuilding Hyrule. Just like how you helped construct Terry Town, now it's time to rebuild bridges and houses that were destroyed by the Calamity.
6. Post-ending content. I don't mean a cutscene. I mean new NPC dialogue, new sidequests, maybe new mini-games.
7. More Kass. He's a traveling minstrel. He most likely wasn't at Rito village when the large tornado appeared, so he's more free than others of his kind.
Get our main man Tingle back selling maps! I agree there xD
All I want is to be able to pet the dogs, implement cats in the game (like TP), own dogs and cats (as little companions because that would be adorable), pet and feed the cats
I love how the newest trailer confirmed things that he said. It's making me feel good
nintendo hero: all the blights are the same size
thunderblight: i beg your pardon?
How about this
The story starts as you explore the sky with a light stary theme to the story but as the story progresses you move deeper and deeper first to land then under water and finally to a cave/abyss and as you go deeper the theme gradually grows darker and scarier til the final fight with Ganondorf
I hope Nintendo keeps doing what they want!
The main ones I want is a repair system where you have a black smith repair and upgrade your equipments.
For the crafting bit, I agree it should be a simple system. In my head I'd like it so that you can repair weapons with specific items, or with more rare items you can use them to add buffs we saw in botw (better damage when thrown, more durability, attack, etc).
One thing to note about the performance is that Breath of the Wild was originally built for Wii U which was a strange system, and then ported to switch. Mario Odyssey looks and performs a lot better, but released a couple of months after botw. But it was built ground up for switch.
I hope the Happy Mask Salesman makes an appearance.
Dude yesss that would be sick.
I hope there’s at least 2 ganondorf boss fights with different attack patterns or upgraded versions and more attacks like with the first Ridley battle in Super Metroid. It would really show how powerful ganondorf is and how outmatched you are, even at your peak of your power in BOTW, and that they will add a third health bar for the last battle, showing your growth and the goddess’s supporting you as much as she can. I also think there should be some kind of feature when there’s a blood moon, other than respawning enemies like maybe the enemies are more aggressive.
Yeah, I always thought BOTW's title screen was lame. I had hoped for an epic title sequence after continuing my save file and was greeted with a sideshow of jpegs. We share a lot of the same hopes for this game, hope that most of them make it in!
One way that they could have made the map feel fresh is if the game took place after an extended period of peace in Hyrule, storyline-wise. This would have allowed for lots of construction. New villages, new tribes formed, new power structures (maybe the Yiga clan takes over a territory using some dark energy they found or something). Even things like roads or railways between towns.
The villages could all have their own fortresses and towers constructed. The old fortress walls rebuilt. The decaying guardians removed and some rebuilt to protect Hyrule again.
Hyrule Castle getting rebuilt would also mean the old ruins could be converted to fortresses which could serve as the big dungeons. Likewise, the monsters flee underground after Ganon is destroyed and build extended networks of tunnels... popping out and raiding villages etc.
Open fields could serve as battle grounds as monsters form larger encampments and even their own monster villages for Link to battle his way through.
These are some ways to make the old map feel fresh.
5:47 my main idea was a fast yet weaker type (like daggers) for land, and maybe daggers/wristblades for water
Once again a perfect video
Something I would like is some kind of way to break out of shrines a bit like the way you escape in portal
instead of climbing gear, they could make a consumable like climbing powder for more grip on your hands so you dont have to switch your gear when it rains. or maybe you can find climbing gloves somewhere in the world that you dont have to equip manually and that once you find them you will never slip. but make the gloves not mandatory for the story so its actually some sort of overworld treasure
What I would love to see is more tiny settlements wcross the map. All the current settlements are at the end of roads in corners of the map pretty much. Of coarse you have the stables, but there really inst much to do there and after u found the 7th one it becomes kind off lame. It would be so fun to just pass by tiny settlements and and farms as u follow the roads.
I want more scary enemies. The guardians were so effective on my first time round, but after a certain point they just weren’t scary anymore.
Combine a guardian with a redead, basically a redead with faint eyes that shoot lasers with the malice theme. But make it in a dark room.
sure guardians weren’t scary after a while but did you forget about lynels? I still avoid those guys and I’ve finished the game
@@katzelol meh. After you get the moveset down they’re way too easy to beat. Flurry rush is OP.
Something I’d really love to see brought back is Kinstones from Minish Cap. Those things extended my gameplay by hours and hours with exciting little secrets around the map.
Also hidden sword techniques!
This is a really well put together video! Compared to other wishes/hopes lists for TotK this one is more down-to-earth, which I like. I think most if not all your points are reasonable to wish for and would improve the game greatly. Many I'm hoping for myself! Thanks for this sincere contribution to the pre-release hype / discourse. :)
Bro called the Nintendo direct AND Ganondorf talking💀💀 who does he have on the inside
I’ve played all the Zelda games (except Spirit Tracks… AND… BOTW). Even tho I have owned BOTW since 2017… I have left it sealed. I also got the official strategy guide (the one updated with the DLC), and have also left it sealed. I plan on opening them up this upcoming Spring Break.
Really great list. You summed it all up perfectly basically. Like all these I just wish Nintendo was sent this 3 plus years ago ha.
My hopes for this game is the return of motion controlled melee combat like in Wii's two Zelda games, deul wielding swords like in Nintendo Switch Sports, and a southpaw mode.
That's looking less likely since she fell into the dark abyss and all. Nailed it
i think being able to either one to two hand weapons like elden ring would be cool, because in one of the memories in botw he’s two handing the master sword and i thought that would be awesome
I would definitely like the ability to use spells like in Elden Ring, not just the Ice, Fire, Lightning Rod we usually get. The ability to craft not just food, but useable items would be cool too, think fire bombs and such. I know it's not possible, but a Zelda game with the dark nature of Elden Ring would be cool too.
I'd like the option for a survival mode, much like fallout New Vegas or Skyrim has thanks to mods and the creation club. It wouldn't have to do much, just add hunger, slightly harsher weather that can't always be overcome just with clothing or consumables, sleeping and proper fishing. Some of the most fun I had was going through the cold sections in the early game before I had the proper gear or consumables. I basically had to light fires constantly and it made it really challenging but rewarding.
Nobody is talking about the only thing I want. Let us transform into Zoras for water exploration, gorons for lava, and ritos to let us temporarily fly without the use of revalis gale
I’d really like for Tears of the kingdom to have more musical callbacks to older games. And since its “tears of the kingdom” perhaps that means Twilight Princess and Majora’s mask Melodie’s coming back? I loved all the musical callbacks in Breath of the wild
Now that I’ve seen the GameXplain video when he said there’s no underwater swimming and exploration, I actually kinda feel bad for him.
Possible DLC tho. It's one of the few things most people requested that we didn't get.
@@swagmiredoesall yeah
I hadn’t even thought about underwater exploration but now that you said it I think that’s my new most wanted addition
honestly could be dlc, if not in the main game
The light crafting system really stood out to me, because we live in an age where every freaking game has to have a crafting system, even if It doesn't make sense. However, because of the variety to items in BOTW, I did feel that a lot of my materials got underutilized. Maybe that's just because of how I played the game, but I want the items to have more of a use without crafting being a requirement. Ideally, crafting would be something you do not just to make the game easier, but to open up new gameplay options.
I would like a forge system where you can repair broken weapons, rather than losing them forever
I want extra storage at our house as the whole Hateno house in BotW felt incomplete. There also seems to be an abandoned concept of the house acting as a stable that someone covered in a video I found a few days ago.
Crafting of some sort seems likely with the scene of the broken Master Sword in the trailer.
one of the things i hope is that we can do the bombs glitch, it would be so much better in explorating the sky
This video literally scratched every part of brain I needed. Welcome to my top list of Zelda content creators.
Since they’re using the old map I hope they have something we’re like parts of the map are like different like there’s different villages added or new structures or something like that
I hope they improve the Durability of the weapons in the next game and they need to add a weapon repairing system
All I want is a way to customize link's house. (And a ray tracing version ^^) would be perfect
I think that the excitement of discovering new places will be relegated to the sky islands only, since we already know the layout of the overworld. So instead, I’m expecting the excitement in the overworld to be more like “Oh, I wonder what they changed about (location)?” and then going there to see.
For the underwater exploration I think it would be cool if the enemies that swim in the water we could attack them from below
There is too a must have: "Once you have defeated Ganondorf, I would like to see a good ending, and after that, the chance to play in a rebuilt Hyrule" (instead of earning a star)
I would like improved bosses for the normal game, but I’d really like the inclusion of Super Bosses as well. A couple of optional super challenging bosses that drop incredibly rare loot and gives us something to hold our focus after the initial game is complete.
I Hope we can still use amiibos like wolf link.
My lady and I finally got a switch after some years wanting one. Doing my first play through of breath of the wild. I am still very excited for the new game just to see how they keep it fresh and exciting. 4k on my OLED would be so fun! Great vid keep it up!
I'm definitely sure you gotta save Zelda again, but that won't be the only goal. While BoTW technically had other objectives other than saving Zelda, freeing the Divine Beasts and Champions, those can be skipped.
Meanwhile, TotK will definitely at least have the goal to repair the Mastersword, and who knows, maybe the goal isn't save Zelda but reunite Zelda and Link (playing as them both is the distinction here)
I think the light crafting system and a slight update to the cooking system would be good
being able to combine feathers, wood and ore and Gems together to make arrows would be awesome alongside repairing gear.
with the cooking system being able to combine cooked meals at a prepping table to further boost their effects would be neat, it could also serve as a way to unlocking 'advanced' meals, combining bread and a soup to make a Filling X Soup, or maybe bread with a seared or chilled meat and some herbs to make a sandwich, cake and some honey butter apples for some kind of desert platter, being able to combine duplicate meals into larger portions of the same meal to increase their effects, average, large and jumbo portions of meals.
and maybe a cookbook as well to keep track of all the recipes, you can find meal recipes on the walls of stables and in certain buildings in breath of the wild, at least a third of my album was dedicated to snapshots of recipes I'd found while running around like a total spaz, so some way to keep track of them in game outside of dedicating yourself to taking a photo of all the recipes you find would be really helpful.
I personally think that the memories are my favorite bit of the game, because for example: something bad happened at Hyrule castle 100 years ago, and people used to spend their everyday lives there, now it’s a place with just darkness and monsters. The memories make it more scary and emotional. The abandoned places in Zelda BOTW are the most beautiful and emotional places in the game. They should definitely keep the memories in Zelda TOTK
They didn't keep it, but the did improve upon their format, and tied them into the theme better than BotW did it's story.
i like you're content
Great list agree. Also, the title screen, so true
About 14:
Do you prefers majoras mask map selling tingle, or wind waker psychopathic slave master tingle?
Why not both? A psychopathic map maker!
My biggest hope is that they add in the swap weapon option the amount of times I’ve opened a chest only to see “your inventory is full” 💀
i hope they allow us to register non horses since I really wanted to ride all of the non horse animals in game. Also it would be nice to have zelda be playable at some point in the story even in a small section
My opinion: thunderblight ganon is the hardest enemy
Edit: I also hope we get more divine beasts like a fish for water or a toucan for the jungle
Something I was looking forward since the first game came out, is have the way you interact socially with enemies like bokos, moblins and lizalfos further developed. Wearing the bokoblin mask and getting in a camp, being able to share food with them, seeing all their natural interactions... It felt like the natural next step should be to be able to trade with them, make them help you, or help them with some enemy or obstacle, even get some appreciation from them. I get that making them an actual race or culture kinda goes against the whole point of the games, and it would feel wrong to kill them afterwards.
The new trailer was out and wow i was shocked. I DIDNT KNOW LINK HAD A CAR?!?
Some people seem to believe that the big bad of this game is Demise himself now that would be cool. I hope this game has the darker tones and the light tones like the sky is light and the ground is dark and gloomy maybe but it try not to have hopes for these games cause its always a surprise
The fact that Breath of the Wild is too easy for many people just shows how bad I am at video games cause it was a challenge for me
I'd like to see traditional dungeons. I'm also concerned and about the supposed reused map, I hope they can pull this off. Ideally we need a whole new map.
I like how a lot of these hopes get confirmed in the direct
I want a dual wielding swords
9:46 IM SO FUCKING MAD! I WAS SHOOTING THOSE WITH ARROWS WHEN I COULD’VE DID THAT INSTEAD???!
Are we sure it’s ‘tears’ as in crying tears OR is it ‘Tears’ as in tearing a piece of paper or fabric of space, like we see in 1-2 shots of him going through a portal like thing on the underside of a platform 0:12
(I’ve only seen it written down & not spoken by anyone at Nintendo)
I agree with the bow of light thing. It should’ve been used with the master sword since it “seals the darkness”.
I really expected BOTW to pull out a cutscene of the final blow dealt by the master sword after shooting ganon with the light bow...lost hopes on that
There is a miracle to TOTK 60fps, they could use FidelityFX from amd
I personally didn't like BOTW that much. Was dissapointed by some directions devs went with like weapon durability, story, lack of dungeons and shrines, shrines , shrines. However I am so hyped for this game, hope they somewhat fix those issues.
Lack or shrines? THERE'S 120 OF THEM
