I'm so glad that Nintendo is starting to add more "character" to their characters, especially Zelda. I think that it will be interesting to not only see Link grow as a character, but also Zelda!
Clorox Bleach I don't only cause the Switch version would come later and I'm selling my Wii U so I finish my preorder for my switch that i preordered a day after the Switch reveal event back January. Unless they pushed the Switch release date.
Chandler Combs I bet it will be on VC at some point for the switch which we would be great cause then I could play it on the go. I don't want to deal with Wii U's bad frame rate with explosions and other things in the breath of the wild version. Though I usually don't care for graphics it would just be annoying cause I can tell explosions will be everywhere in the game. Plus the Wii U era is coming to an end isnt it? I mean might Breath of the Wild be the last wii u game and it may be time for people to move on.
Chris Gousse Believe that would be an astronomical mistake, people will find a way to hack the game and disable the timer for sure and then it won't be long before it's on CEMU which would drastically hurt sales for the game, it would become as bad as or worse than the whole fiasco with Sun and Moon a few months ago where the entire game files were leaked online and people were downloading the full game for free
The hype just isn't as strong with the lingering fear of not getting a switch at launch alongside Botw. Also Zelda's legs this time around are *THICK*! Me likey.
Zelda is both mortal princess of Hyrule and goddess Hylia reborn, so while she's always held favour to the Hylians, I doubt she'd want to forsake the other races, but her obligation to Hyrule will leave her conflicted. I think she and Link will occasionally argue over this but Zelda will be happy and relieved if Link saves all of the land instead of just Hyrule.
Man I love the way your mind works, and going by what Aonuma said about how you can get multiple endings by doing certain things this might have been what he was talking about, Link may be put in a position where he has to make a huge choice and depending on which one you choose could effect the games ending
I would LOVE if this were to happen in BotW. It's like when Ozymandias, the most intelligent man in the world in Watchmen, decides than not everyone can survive so he sacrifices the few for the many. This would play into Zelda being associated with wisdom and logic. I don't think it will happen though, a bit too controversial for a Zelda game imo, even though they are changing up the conventions. There was still really dark themes in MM though, so there's still a chance.
quote of the day offering from OOT. "Past, Present, and Future,... The Master Sword is a ship with which u can sail upstream and downstream through time's river
I've realized that we've barely known anything about the royal family in any Zelda, the most info we got was Skyward Sword and a few moments in Wind Waker.
Zelda will realize that protecting her kingdom is the same as protecting the entire world. Her people are those she shares strong bonds with. Bonds forged long ago that transcend time itself. For that is how she will protect the Legend - by remembering those who stayed loyal to the once prosperous Kingdom of Hyrule.
My actions and choises should be of meaning. I should be able to befriend, rival, influence, form alliances with and hate the characters. And only my choise will make these decisions. A dynamic game such as this should truly make me breath the same world as Breath of the Wild.
Py reign I'm picturing Zelda crying on Link's arm and then Link looks at the camera and winks at it giving it a thumbs-up thinking "someone be gettin' laid tonight!...." then a laser sight from a guardian locks on Link's head to which Link responds out loud, "OH COME OOOON!!" *BOOM!!!* 100 years later... "open your eyes"
This has got me thinking of 2 possible theories to this game. One is that it is a remake reboot of OOT. Designed to make the timelines more believeable. The 2nd is, what if this is actually set pre OOT at the start of the civil war where Calamity Ganon and the Sheikah defectors are what start the war and in the game Zelda is searching for a way to undo everything and one of the endings is her finding the Orcarina of TIme and undoing all that CG has rot. Also maybe as a result of some action the great Plataue will be brought down and they will decide after beating CG that they will rebuild the royal castle, castle down and the Temple of Time in the ruins around the Temple of time and that in TP the reason why the castle was moved may have been that the castle and town was destroyed in the war with Ganondorlf and moved back to where we see the ruins in this game.
I think I have figured it out. You know how in that translation where it stated that all the races once lived in harmony. Well maybe after calamity Gannon, they were apart and if you defeat the divine beasts, then you will help out the other tribes and maybe against Zeldas wish or just beating he castle doesn't bring back everyone in harmony.
The theory seemed odd to me at first, but then I remember one of the trailers. Remember when Link was kneeling to Zelda and appeared downtrodden as she clenched her fist? Maybe he disobeyed a direct order... Huh...
What if you have to time travel like in OoT by obtaining the MS! That's why the Great Deku Tree is infront of the MS since he says " I think you are now ready, ready to hear what happened 100 years ago!" Maybe the MS will take you back in time 100 years
I am hoping there is a playable portion of the past, playable flashback whatnot, because there seems to be a loong segment of cutscenes centered around the destruction of castle town, Link's defeat by the guardians, Link and Zelda running through the rain, etc. Itd be a few minutes long if it were a full cinematic cutscene
Wait I got it!!! Calamity ganon is just another form of master xehanort and the story of 100 years ago is the key blade war and by retrieving the master sword will bring Aqua back from the darkness, and then Zelda and king Mickey seek out the rest of the hero's while link Sora and Riku fight off the other 12 forms of Xehanort. Now it's all coming together.
I kinda have a feeling that both Calamity Ganon AND the Master Sword may be destroyed by the end of this, taking Hyrule Castle with it to finally put an end to the cycle. But that's just a hunch.
So excited to have a piece of my favorite Zelda game with me when I play #BreathoftheWild. Twilgiht Princess is my favorite Zelda game of all time and I cannot wait to bring Wolf Link along for the ride!
HMK what if Zelda already did that putting the royal city first and lost and that was what the scene in the trailer was about that said " everything I have done has been for naught"
EM11212 that's what I am thinking, that or while u are off trying to get your bearings she may be on the other side causing a huge mess on accident and thus when u finally meet up with her in person that is when she says it
I think it will be more along the lines of Zelda reaching a point of almost desperation. It has always been the hero that is called upon to restore peace. But, Zelda is always there to help in some way. What I am liking is that Zelda seems to be a lot more active in BotW, which I think has slowly been building up since OoT. I loved how the story seemed much more character based in SS, and I think this one is going to really delve into who the characters of this legend really are! I was replaying A Link to the Past last week, and had my memory jogged that the "humans" consider the Hylian people to be a seperate race...one that the hero is descended from. From this, I kind of gather that a lot of the ancient lore has been forgotten...I mention this because of the similarities we've seen between BotW and SS...perhaps a part of the game will be rediscovering the old legends. It's kind of similar in all of the timelines after the split...but I still think it's in downfall (after Zelda 2). No matter what though, this game is going to be awesome.
What you say is definitely understandable, but I think it's going to be more of an internal conflict within Zelda rather than an external conflict between Zelda and Link. Zelda not only has to consider the future of her people, but also the future of her land and her kingdom as well as her country's relations with the neighboring factions (namely the Zora, Gerudo, Gorons, Koroks, Sheikah, and Rito, but perhaps other Hylians and possibly humans as well that are not citizens of her land). I think that Aonuma is hinting more towards this internal conflict and how it affects her relations with Link and other major characters. This would be far more effective in portraying a complex Zelda and would also give us clues as to the political nature of Hyrule and surrounding regions.
this is an intresting idea of the choice of mortality as link you will want to be the hero to save everyone but is he loyal to his princess putting the the city first. an amzing idea and one of the great things about botw is all the speculation that the community has. and all will be revealed march 3rd
Maybe it's the king and/or Shieka who want to just save the Hylians by activating the Divine Beasts, and Link and Zelda want to save everyone. TThey plan on using the Master Sword, so they retrieve it, propose their plan to the king and/or Shieka, but they reject it (last scene in the second trailer). After trying the plan involving the Divine Beasts, Calamity Ganon corrupts the guardians and Divine Beasts, causing Hyrule Castle Town to be destroyed. Beforehand, Zelda and Link had tried to find another way to stop Ganon, but failed, hence Zelda saying "Everything I've done up until now, it was all for nothing." Soon after the corruption, the guardians caught up to them and killed Link. Link was put in the Shrine of Resurrection with Zelda's Shieka Slate (maybe she stole it?) while Zelda brings the Master Sword back to the Great Deku Tree to watch over it.
Who wants to see Nintendo reveal the voice cast for this game in a video before launch? It would be good to finally know who are bringing these characters to life so we can thank them.
Oh man I can't wait to see if this theory is true. I hope it is to show that type of reality since it seems Breath of the Wild is trying to be more realistic than any Zelda game before it
why does she have green eyes in BotW ??? I always loved her blue eyes ... looking so innocent and beeing the color of Nayru and her triforcepiece .... they just matched
so hyped for this game!! Also I noticed this a while back but most of the Zelda games have some sort of instrument that link plays in order to play melodies. I don't remember seeing one in any of the gameplay videos or trailers. did they say something about not having one or are they keeping it a secret? hey HMK do you know anything? or anyone else?
my guess is that Zelda initially was only thinking of her own Kingdom and her Immediate responsibility; probably commissioned the Sheikah to construct the Guardians; trying her best to prove herself as a good leader of the Kingdom and putting her people First. but once Calamity Ganon corrupted the Guardians, and Wasted the Hyrule Capitol, probably aiming for the rest of the world afterword. Zelda realized that her focus wasn't where it should be, and that's where the (as you put it HMK) Champions of Hyrule come in! perhaps that's the context behind the line: "Everything I've done up until now!... it was all for Nothing!" that's just My guess anyway! ... i'm a Film Major! analyzing is my Bread & Butter!
I want them to use the full potential of the console with the next game. They stated that it does not use the hardware of the Switch to the fullest extent. Try better next time!
Its because breath of the wild a Wii u game that was ported to the switch late in development. But its made with the wii u in mind. kinda like twilight princess.
Sonic0660 Gaming it has nothing to do with them not trying hard... This goes for every console's launch, there's never a game that comes out in the first year or so that's going to use the full potential of the console. Just be patient. Not to mention it's also primarily a Wii U game
Wouldn't it be interesting if Zelda herself was the final boss after calamity Ganon? If Link and Zelda have such a disagreement then you may have to fight Zelda to protect the other races from the Hylians at the end of the game.
I think Zelda will have a bigger role in BotW than any other games in the series.So this time around they are trying to make it more epic by having conflicting issues in ......"saving terms" i guess .But i think Zelda will be focusing on saving Hyrule cuz thats where the main source of evil is at.......then by doing that ,rest of the land will be saved as well
Uhm I think it's the other way around. Link being primeraly a loyal servant of the kingdom wants to restore the power of the royal family first. Hence why the player can technically beat the game in 15 minutes. Whereas zelda wants to make up for the mistakes of the royal family and tries to be on good terms with everyone.
Nah I think it is the other way around. Link being a warrior, and once regained his memories, will want to immediately run back to the castle and defeat Calamity Ganon who had somehow beaten him 100 years ago - to recover his pride, avenge those he lost, etc. Don't forget he seems to have a past in which he was very closely tied to the castle itself, as he looked to be some sort of a high ranking knight or a royal guard - to have been responsible for protecting Zelda directly. Thus he supposedly wouldn't have known or cared for the other races as much as for his own crew. Zelda in another hand is the wiser part of the duo, who has a better understanding of the whole situation and of the real threat that Ganon [and all of his minions and curses] represents. Add to that the possibilities of her knowing much of the sheikahs' deepest secrets plus she recovering long lost memories through that sacred pool and Hylia statues, and you have the real brain of this operation.
PJCLink She sent Link back in time ultimately making the trials and suffering he endured pointless since noone would remember any of what he had done plus he was an orphan who learned he wasn't really a kokiri. If anything Zelda only made Links life worse and than proceeded to kill off all Gerudo before the events of TP following the conclusion of a bloody war
Py reign If I was in Link's shoes I would rather relive my childhood instead of continuing life from a 17 year old guy when he should still be about 10 despite what I learned. Hell I'm about to be 16 in a few months and sometimes I wish I was still a kid again. Plus technically you shouldn't been in a era that isn't your own. The future world is technically not his era.
(Storyline guess so could be a potential spoiler I guess lol): Hey HMK, I don't think the developers would have the heart to make their kawaii princess somewhat close minded the first time she gets this amount of character development. What I mean is I don't think they would make Link and Zelda have somewhat conflicting positions when so far the footage we've seen indicates they will be working together now more than ever. Also, she's clearly willing to sacrifice a part of her kingdom for the good of the world as was seen by her deciding to seal Calamity Ganon directly inside of her royal castle to save her country. Interesting theory though. I'm theorizing that the alternate endings could be a) you beat Calamity Ganon before recruiting the Champions of Hyrule, which leads to Zelda needing to use too much of her divine power (light magic she used to save Link from the Guardian) and she sacrifices herself in the process of saving the world (thus leading to the tips Aonuma gave regarding the story of BoTW being able to make you cry) or b) you defeat Calamity Ganon after recruiting all of the Champions of Hyrule from the other races and then together you take Calamity Ganon down and your combined strength keeps Zelda from sacrificing herself. Thoughts?
I think if Zelda is so selfish ignoring the divine beasts could mean Gabon would live on through them. killing ganon In this way I think would be disastrous for the world. it would bother me that Zelda always cared for everyone she would be hated for this.
What if they end Hyrule kingdom. They defeat Ganon but never rebuild Hyrule because they learned of the curse that Demise put on Link. They destroy the Triforces and go to the other kingdom where the princess is Hilda. I forgot the name of the game
Hmmm... I don't think this'll be a thing. Why would Zelda want to save Castle Town or any where near it? It's already destroyed. More so if it endangers the rest of the world, you know, where everyone, including the remaining Hylians, live. Whatever event it is that unlock the "true end" or whatever is probably something more subtle than letting the mechanical freaking beasts destroy everything and kill everyone.
Damn, you went up 2k subs in like 4 days. So close! I wouldn't mind a switch.... but I've known about this giveaway for awhile now. Anyways, I do have a q: If this game is as good as we want it to be, do you think they'll continue making all of zelda games non linear open worlds? Or will they take a linear approach again in the future? If it is not good or is not up to expectations, do you think Nintendo will not put as much money into zelda again?
I don't think that Zelda will forsake the other races, the complexity might stem from the fact that she is the reincarnation of Hylia, should she ascend back to being a goddess and become Hylia or should she stay as a mortal and as Zelda. Another element could be the choice between freedom and duty. She is more outgoing this time, she loves ruins, she is more free, should she forsake that just because she happens to be the princess of a ruined kingdom, one that has caused much suffering and injustice? Should she unify the scattered people and resurrect Hyrule, or should she let it go, it's time done? Should she cling to the past, or let things run it's course. Should she forgive the Garudos and Sheika, or condemn then for past actions? These questions, choices, and counterdictions is where I think that the complexity will arise, not whether to or not to forsake the other races.
yo HMK can you make a video talking about what Zelda and Link's relationship is going to be like in Breath of the Wild? I get they're easily shipped together do to past game's but with Zelda getting a more active role I'm quite curious.
See but the thing is...whats the difference? Her goals are to save hyrule and defeat ganon and I don't see how that would not involve saving the whole land considering that the entire kingdom is called Hyrule and while the Gorons and the Zora ect may be their own factions as we have seen in the past they are all allies and help each other I think of it more as Hyrule being the governing country and Gorons, Zora, Gerudo ect are more like different states or provinces much like how the roman empire worked with each area having its own king like herod ect with all of them under the rule of ceasar. Heck in ss and twp they literally call them provinces with Eldin, Faron, Layanaru ect
you know it's funny I think it sounds a lot like Majora's Mask in the way of you have to defeat the four Divine beasts and then go defeat the main boss although I know that's not actually what this game is going to be because that was in termina and this is obviously the actual Kingdom of Hyrule
I just dont want zelda to fight with me ingame... Every time she does it turns out bad D: TP, she misses when gannondorf is like 2 feet infront of her (phase 3 of final fight) and in WW she completely missed my shield and HIT ME! killing me!! luckily i had a fairy.
they won't do this. although it'd be interesting to see how Zelda would handle it. the reason why I feel they won't do it. it reminds me of That captain America hydra agent situatuion a few months back. captain america for decades was seen as a symbol of Honor. a man who will do right no matter what. with a single issue they threw that out the window, basically shitting on his character. And doing that now with Zelda possibly being a greedy leader isn't something people would take well especially since its always been Link and Zelda who fight against all Evil. why change that? It also would crush the pairing something that honestly i think 99% of us would hate to see. Great Video HMK
I'm super excited for breath of the wild. I used to watch other peoples channels when they would talk about zelda botw. However HMK is spoiler free and with all the potential leaks im staying here.
I have entered the giveaway , but my real name was used in the entry. (I put parenthesis in next to my real name saying who I was on RUclips , though) Nice video , HMK!
Hm, the choice of utilitarianism is an interesting concept. I feel like that's a topic more suited for a Xenoblade game, but hey Monolith helped with the gameso who knows
Can't spell ignorant without IGN
ComicalSkate SHOTS FIRED
they have good Metroid walkthroughs though, lol
I'm so glad that Nintendo is starting to add more "character" to their characters, especially Zelda. I think that it will be interesting to not only see Link grow as a character, but also Zelda!
Collette Johnson I couldn't agree more!
Collette Johnson YES!!!
JUST ABOUT 4 WEEKS AWAY.
Edit: There. Fixed it. Just enjoy the hype for its release.
not really. we're at 28 days which is exactly 4 weeks. not to be a hypekiller XD little longer.
DeathSoul V-yola 4
I said just about. Not exactly 3 weeks.
Literally... 4 weeks and 1 day.
For all the people correcting him, he clearly said "about" he didn't say exactly.

we are HMK's HYPLINGS! THE HYPE IS REEL!
***** who said i didnt like his content...?
Dominic Miller Jesus Christ do you watch everything I do lmao
uh he's the one who calls us his "hyplings" okay and i quite enjoy his videos to the point where i still rewatch his reactions.
Waddlez hey 😂😂😂
Lol "losing themselves" idk what you mean bro im fine. Jeez.
I WISH ZELDA BOTW WAS EARLY AS I AM WATCHING THIS VID
Clorox Bleach I don't only cause the Switch version would come later and I'm selling my Wii U so I finish my preorder for my switch that i preordered a day after the Switch reveal event back January. Unless they pushed the Switch release date.
+Ninten I'm not selling my wii u.. i want twilight hd and wind waker hd
Chandler Combs I bet it will be on VC at some point for the switch which we would be great cause then I could play it on the go. I don't want to deal with Wii U's bad frame rate with explosions and other things in the breath of the wild version. Though I usually don't care for graphics it would just be annoying cause I can tell explosions will be everywhere in the game. Plus the Wii U era is coming to an end isnt it? I mean might Breath of the Wild be the last wii u game and it may be time for people to move on.
they should release BotW E3 demo for Wii U with the time limit and stuff. Maybe a week before the game so everyone can get a feel for the game.
Chris Gousse Believe that would be an astronomical mistake, people will find a way to hack the game and disable the timer for sure and then it won't be long before it's on CEMU which would drastically hurt sales for the game, it would become as bad as or worse than the whole fiasco with Sun and Moon a few months ago where the entire game files were leaked online and people were downloading the full game for free
DoHickey Nu-huh. The E3 demo had a lot of stuff removed.
Luna Skyle Yeah, but only on the Plateau, the rest of the game was still there.
Braedon Kulick No, towns and story elements were removed.
Luna Skyle You can still see settlements from the Plateau in the demo. For example, you can see the stable area.
The hype just isn't as strong with the lingering fear of not getting a switch at launch alongside Botw. Also Zelda's legs this time around are *THICK*! Me likey.
@HMK you strike me as an odd guy, but I love your channel man. I love how in depth and true love you give to each video. Keep it up.
God fucking damn it I always fucking forget to not have my headphone volume at full blast because of your intro/outro
I love HMK's Book comment Idea :) Makes it even more special when he's able to connect more to his fan's with The Legend of Zelda :)
HMK the Old man is a sheikah defector and Link used a similar cloth in the gameplay with bill trenin!!
GECKO M Sorry butnhes the king of hyrule
he may be sheikah though
Floski ツ Yes maybe both!
also he may be the father of the Gerudo girl and Zelda because they both have green eyes!
GECKO M and dark skin tone
DoHickey
Yeah the Dark skin tone is what makes me think he's a sheikah, maybe not a defector but he COULD be evil who knows.
Zelda is both mortal princess of Hyrule and goddess Hylia reborn, so while she's always held favour to the Hylians, I doubt she'd want to forsake the other races, but her obligation to Hyrule will leave her conflicted. I think she and Link will occasionally argue over this but Zelda will be happy and relieved if Link saves all of the land instead of just Hyrule.
Man I love the way your mind works, and going by what Aonuma said about how you can get multiple endings by doing certain things this might have been what he was talking about, Link may be put in a position where he has to make a huge choice and depending on which one you choose could effect the games ending
She should think about her kingdom first since it's her duty to her people #Hyliansfirst #MakeHyruleGreatAgain
I would LOVE if this were to happen in BotW. It's like when Ozymandias, the most intelligent man in the world in Watchmen, decides than not everyone can survive so he sacrifices the few for the many. This would play into Zelda being associated with wisdom and logic.
I don't think it will happen though, a bit too controversial for a Zelda game imo, even though they are changing up the conventions. There was still really dark themes in MM though, so there's still a chance.
imagine if the roles got switched and Zelda was saving link
Zebrazach20062 haha switched like Nintendo switch
No go watch some ytps about wand of gamalon instead. Don't actually play the game
no. NEVER play wand of gamelon
Character development of Skyward Sword, story telling of Ocarina of Time.
xJest perfection
every time I see a vid with breath of the wild I must click it!!!

I've realized that we've barely known anything about the royal family in any Zelda, the most info we got was Skyward Sword and a few moments in Wind Waker.
There better be a big ass plot twist at the end

And the note book looks fucking awsome. I want one.

Zelda is a babe. Please be 18.
Alex Grachek 😂 It's still Nintendo
Py reign I'm picturing Zelda crying on Link's arm and then Link looks at the camera and winks at it giving it a thumbs-up thinking "someone be gettin' laid tonight!...." then a laser sight from a guardian locks on Link's head to which Link responds out loud, "OH COME OOOON!!" *BOOM!!!*
100 years later... "open your eyes"
Alex Grachek Link wakes up screaming "cucked again!" And than realizes he's naked and doesn't remember where he was last night or where he is now

Nintendo spoilers are ok

Well maybe after calamity Gannon, they were apart and if you defeat the divine beasts, then you will help out the other tribes and maybe against Zeldas wish or just beating he castle doesn't bring back everyone in harmony.
zelda is princess bubblegum confirmed
*29 MORE DAYS HYPE!!!*
The theory seemed odd to me at first, but then I remember one of the trailers.
Remember when Link was kneeling to Zelda and appeared downtrodden as she clenched her fist? Maybe he disobeyed a direct order... Huh...
Was it ever confirmed as to how Zelda is still alive and young 100 years later? Is she just kept and ressurected like Link?
What if you have to time travel like in OoT by obtaining the MS! That's why the Great Deku Tree is infront of the MS since he says " I think you are now ready, ready to hear what happened 100 years ago!" Maybe the MS will take you back in time 100 years
Note that he says "ready to HEAR".
Oh, guess I didn't think about that😂
I am hoping there is a playable portion of the past, playable flashback whatnot, because there seems to be a loong segment of cutscenes centered around the destruction of castle town, Link's defeat by the guardians, Link and Zelda running through the rain, etc. Itd be a few minutes long if it were a full cinematic cutscene
Abrax404 I really hope they go with that because that would be so cool to play through!
If your zelda prediction is right, it would be cool if once link convinces zelda to focus on the entire hyrule, she's granted the triforce of wisdom
Wait I got it!!! Calamity ganon is just another form of master xehanort and the story of 100 years ago is the key blade war and by retrieving the master sword will bring Aqua back from the darkness, and then Zelda and king Mickey seek out the rest of the hero's while link Sora and Riku fight off the other 12 forms of Xehanort. Now it's all coming together.
Im so excited about the game!!!!! I'M GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!!!!! and also I must say thank you for all the videos. YOU ROCK MAN!!!!
I'm rock hard for this game
I kinda have a feeling that both Calamity Ganon AND the Master Sword may be destroyed by the end of this, taking Hyrule Castle with it to finally put an end to the cycle. But that's just a hunch.
4 WEEKS TODAY! I NEEEEED IT!
well seeing that the kingdom is built upon the land I would think they go hand-in-hand.
also isn't Zelda the reincarnate of the Goddess herself who created everything
Hylia isn't a creation deity. More of a patron deity.
So excited to have a piece of my favorite Zelda game with me when I play #BreathoftheWild. Twilgiht Princess is my favorite Zelda game of all time and I cannot wait to bring Wolf Link along for the ride!
HMK what if Zelda already did that putting the royal city first and lost and that was what the scene in the trailer was about that said " everything I have done has been for naught"
Aqwia L smartest comment yet
Aqwia L That could all be before the 100 year sleep. Maybe Zelda tried to kill Ganon but failed, so she sealed him away and put link to sleep.
EM11212 that's what I am thinking, that or while u are off trying to get your bearings she may be on the other side causing a huge mess on accident and thus when u finally meet up with her in person that is when she says it

Zelda not only has to consider the future of her people, but also the future of her land and her kingdom as well as her country's relations with the neighboring factions (namely the Zora, Gerudo, Gorons, Koroks, Sheikah, and Rito, but perhaps other Hylians and possibly humans as well that are not citizens of her land). I think that Aonuma is hinting more towards this internal conflict and how it affects her relations with Link and other major characters. This would be far more effective in portraying a complex Zelda and would also give us clues as to the political nature of Hyrule and surrounding regions.
this is an intresting idea of the choice of mortality as link you will want to be the hero to save everyone but is he loyal to his princess putting the the city first. an amzing idea and one of the great things about botw is all the speculation that the community has. and all will be revealed march 3rd
Maybe it's the king and/or Shieka who want to just save the Hylians by activating the Divine Beasts, and Link and Zelda want to save everyone. TThey plan on using the Master Sword, so they retrieve it, propose their plan to the king and/or Shieka, but they reject it (last scene in the second trailer). After trying the plan involving the Divine Beasts, Calamity Ganon corrupts the guardians and Divine Beasts, causing Hyrule Castle Town to be destroyed. Beforehand, Zelda and Link had tried to find another way to stop Ganon, but failed, hence Zelda saying "Everything I've done up until now, it was all for nothing." Soon after the corruption, the guardians caught up to them and killed Link. Link was put in the Shrine of Resurrection with Zelda's Shieka Slate (maybe she stole it?) while Zelda brings the Master Sword back to the Great Deku Tree to watch over it.
Who wants to see Nintendo reveal the voice cast for this game in a video before launch? It would be good to finally know who are bringing these characters to life so we can thank them.
No, that would spoil characters in BOTW.
Oh man I can't wait to see if this theory is true. I hope it is to show that type of reality since it seems Breath of the Wild is trying to be more realistic than any Zelda game before it
why does she have green eyes in BotW ??? I always loved her blue eyes ... looking so innocent and beeing the color of Nayru and her triforcepiece .... they just matched
so hyped for this game!! Also I noticed this a while back but most of the Zelda games have some sort of instrument that link plays in order to play melodies. I don't remember seeing one in any of the gameplay videos or trailers. did they say something about not having one or are they keeping it a secret? hey HMK do you know anything? or anyone else?
This changed my view of the series. What have her motives been all along? Does she only want to save Hyrule in EVERY game?
my guess is that Zelda initially was only thinking of her own Kingdom and her Immediate responsibility; probably commissioned the Sheikah to construct the Guardians; trying her best to prove herself as a good leader of the Kingdom and putting her people First. but once Calamity Ganon corrupted the Guardians, and Wasted the Hyrule Capitol, probably aiming for the rest of the world afterword. Zelda realized that her focus wasn't where it should be, and that's where the (as you put it HMK) Champions of Hyrule come in! perhaps that's the context behind the line: "Everything I've done up until now!... it was all for Nothing!" that's just My guess anyway!
... i'm a Film Major! analyzing is my Bread & Butter!
I think Zelda is more thinking save the entire country because u see bird in the trailer
damnit i agree with zelda and link at the same time
I want them to use the full potential of the console with the next game. They stated that it does not use the hardware of the Switch to the fullest extent. Try better next time!
Its because breath of the wild a Wii u game that was ported to the switch late in development. But its made with the wii u in mind. kinda like twilight princess.
Sonic0660 Gaming it has nothing to do with them not trying hard...
This goes for every console's launch, there's never a game that comes out in the first year or so that's going to use the full potential of the console. Just be patient.
Not to mention it's also primarily a Wii U game
Sonic0660 Gaming what do you mean try better next time this game is a Wii u game being ported to switch
MegaBajojo yup I didn't see your comment when I typed mines
Wouldn't it be interesting if Zelda herself was the final boss after calamity Ganon? If Link and Zelda have such a disagreement then you may have to fight Zelda to protect the other races from the Hylians at the end of the game.
I think Zelda will have a bigger role in BotW than any other games in the series.So this time around they are trying to make it more epic by having conflicting issues in ......"saving terms" i guess .But i think Zelda will be focusing on saving Hyrule cuz thats where the main source of evil is at.......then by doing that ,rest of the land will be saved as well
Uhm I think it's the other way around. Link being primeraly a loyal servant of the kingdom wants to restore the power of the royal family first. Hence why the player can technically beat the game in 15 minutes. Whereas zelda wants to make up for the mistakes of the royal family and tries to be on good terms with everyone.
If zelda is mainly thinking of her own people, well wouldn't know much if most are dead or whatever
Think about this. Save the world or save the kingdom? The alternate endings? Think it over.
HYPE!!!
the great deku tree is going to have an important role in botw
my brain is FDUCKINGEXPLODEING!!!!!
Nah I think it is the other way around. Link being a warrior, and once regained his memories, will want to immediately run back to the castle and defeat Calamity Ganon who had somehow beaten him 100 years ago - to recover his pride, avenge those he lost, etc.
Don't forget he seems to have a past in which he was very closely tied to the castle itself, as he looked to be some sort of a high ranking knight or a royal guard - to have been responsible for protecting Zelda directly. Thus he supposedly wouldn't have known or cared for the other races as much as for his own crew.
Zelda in another hand is the wiser part of the duo, who has a better understanding of the whole situation and of the real threat that Ganon [and all of his minions and curses] represents.
Add to that the possibilities of her knowing much of the sheikahs' deepest secrets plus she recovering long lost memories through that sacred pool and Hylia statues, and you have the real brain of this operation.
The hype is real. Sounds like Zelda may be a bit of a asshole this time around.
Divine_Wrath She was a bigger one at the end of OoT
PJCLink She sent Link back in time ultimately making the trials and suffering he endured pointless since noone would remember any of what he had done plus he was an orphan who learned he wasn't really a kokiri. If anything Zelda only made Links life worse and than proceeded to kill off all Gerudo before the events of TP following the conclusion of a bloody war
Py reign If I was in Link's shoes I would rather relive my childhood instead of continuing life from a 17 year old guy when he should still be about 10 despite what I learned. Hell I'm about to be 16 in a few months and sometimes I wish I was still a kid again. Plus technically you shouldn't been in a era that isn't your own. The future world is technically not his era.
Py reign
You're assuming Link was forced back in time, I'm pretty sure Link had choices, which is why the two timeline splits happened.
RevolvingWorld actually, no. The choice did not make the timeline split. Because the whole adult timeline is like that because Link returned to past
so Hilda then
(Storyline guess so could be a potential spoiler I guess lol): Hey HMK, I don't think the developers would have the heart to make their kawaii princess somewhat close minded the first time she gets this amount of character development. What I mean is I don't think they would make Link and Zelda have somewhat conflicting positions when so far the footage we've seen indicates they will be working together now more than ever. Also, she's clearly willing to sacrifice a part of her kingdom for the good of the world as was seen by her deciding to seal Calamity Ganon directly inside of her royal castle to save her country. Interesting theory though.
I'm theorizing that the alternate endings could be
a) you beat Calamity Ganon before recruiting the Champions of Hyrule, which leads to Zelda needing to use too much of her divine power (light magic she used to save Link from the Guardian) and she sacrifices herself in the process of saving the world (thus leading to the tips Aonuma gave regarding the story of BoTW being able to make you cry)
or b) you defeat Calamity Ganon after recruiting all of the Champions of Hyrule from the other races and then together you take Calamity Ganon down and your combined strength keeps Zelda from sacrificing herself.
Thoughts?
I think if Zelda is so selfish ignoring the divine beasts could mean Gabon would live on through them. killing ganon In this way I think would be disastrous for the world. it would bother me that Zelda always cared for everyone she would be hated for this.
She may be like the Princess in Lo-Rule
I need to play it NOW!!!!!!!
What if they end Hyrule kingdom. They defeat Ganon but never rebuild Hyrule because they learned of the curse that Demise put on Link. They destroy the Triforces and go to the other kingdom where the princess is Hilda. I forgot the name of the game
"You must save her... My daughter." What if he meant "save her from herself?" Maybe she's making some wrong decisions.
I can't be the only one who wants the other continents from Zelda II, right? Or Holodrum and Labrynna?
Hmmm... I don't think this'll be a thing. Why would Zelda want to save Castle Town or any where near it? It's already destroyed. More so if it endangers the rest of the world, you know, where everyone, including the remaining Hylians, live.
Whatever event it is that unlock the "true end" or whatever is probably something more subtle than letting the mechanical freaking beasts destroy everything and kill everyone.
Damn, you went up 2k subs in like 4 days. So close! I wouldn't mind a switch.... but I've known about this giveaway for awhile now.
Anyways, I do have a q:
If this game is as good as we want it to be, do you think they'll continue making all of zelda games non linear open worlds? Or will they take a linear approach again in the future? If it is not good or is not up to expectations, do you think Nintendo will not put as much money into zelda again?
I don't think that Zelda will forsake the other races, the complexity might stem from the fact that she is the reincarnation of Hylia, should she ascend back to being a goddess and become Hylia or should she stay as a mortal and as Zelda. Another element could be the choice between freedom and duty. She is more outgoing this time, she loves ruins, she is more free, should she forsake that just because she happens to be the princess of a ruined kingdom, one that has caused much suffering and injustice? Should she unify the scattered people and resurrect Hyrule, or should she let it go, it's time done? Should she cling to the past, or let things run it's course. Should she forgive the Garudos and Sheika, or condemn then for past actions? These questions, choices, and counterdictions is where I think that the complexity will arise, not whether to or not to forsake the other races.
Zelda did say what I have I done or its my fault well ya know. she placed blame on her self.
yo HMK can you make a video talking about what Zelda and Link's relationship is going to be like in Breath of the Wild? I get they're easily shipped together do to past game's but with Zelda getting a more active role I'm quite curious.
I'm not the only one getting Breath of the Wild for Wii U right?
No. I am too.
Good thing I'll finish Dream drop distance by then not my favorite kingdom hearts but it's up there
retrogamerfan I agree with you on that.
See but the thing is...whats the difference? Her goals are to save hyrule and defeat ganon and I don't see how that would not involve saving the whole land considering that the entire kingdom is called Hyrule and while the Gorons and the Zora ect may be their own factions as we have seen in the past they are all allies and help each other I think of it more as Hyrule being the governing country and Gorons, Zora, Gerudo ect are more like different states or provinces much like how the roman empire worked with each area having its own king like herod ect with all of them under the rule of ceasar. Heck in ss and twp they literally call them provinces with Eldin, Faron, Layanaru ect
you know it's funny I think it sounds a lot like Majora's Mask in the way of you have to defeat the four Divine beasts and then go defeat the main boss although I know that's not actually what this game is going to be because that was in termina and this is obviously the actual Kingdom of Hyrule
I think you're thinking about the continent, as in the whole land
Final stretch can't wait :)
I just dont want zelda to fight with me ingame... Every time she does it turns out bad D:
TP, she misses when gannondorf is like 2 feet infront of her (phase 3 of final fight)
and in WW she completely missed my shield and HIT ME! killing me!! luckily i had a fairy.
they won't do this. although it'd be interesting to see how Zelda would handle it. the reason why I feel they won't do it. it reminds me of That captain America hydra agent situatuion a few months back. captain america for decades was seen as a symbol of Honor. a man who will do right no matter what. with a single issue they threw that out the window, basically shitting on his character. And doing that now with Zelda
possibly being a greedy leader isn't something people would take well especially since its always been Link and Zelda who fight against all Evil. why change that? It also would crush the pairing something that honestly i think 99% of us would hate to see. Great Video HMK
its lit
but she has now her champions and they're from different species she has to care about everything now not just her people that would be selfish
I'm super excited for breath of the wild. I used to watch other peoples channels when they would talk about zelda botw. However HMK is spoiler free and with all the potential leaks im staying here.
The price being the end of peace between the tribes/races of Hyrule, as it was in times beforehand ?!
I guessing there no true ending like in most games because you choose your own path not the game
she was pretty bad ass in OOT as sheik
in the life of the ruins trailer the end she fist her hand that may have been what she was made about
I wish sheik would be in this game! since the sheika have a much bigger role in BOTW!
The ult endings might be a nover time line split
I have entered the giveaway , but my real name was used in the entry. (I put parenthesis in next to my real name saying who I was on RUclips , though)
Nice video , HMK!
I know everyone is Hype: But is anyone else wanting to get their comment in HMK's Book? I Do! LONG LIVE ZELDA!!! :D
Hm, the choice of utilitarianism is an interesting concept. I feel like that's a topic more suited for a Xenoblade game, but hey Monolith helped with the gameso who knows
