People are definitely going overboard online with ganondorf’s design in the new Zelda. It’s Twitter, so I can’t say I’m too surprised

At 3:14 in, can someone tell who that's supposed to be on the horse? Looks like another version of link. Either that, or my eyes are playing tricks on me from sheer excitement after seeing the trailer.

When I saw it at a lower resolution, it definitely looked more like link. I see why you'd be curious.
I watch it in HD, fullscreen on a monitor; With more detail I think they look like they may be a generic/regular NPC townfolk person from a cutscene. The other 2-3 people in that seene look similarly generic (guy wearing bucket as helmet). I wouldn't be surprised if it is, or isn't, part of a side quest. Maybe we interact with them 0-3 times.😆

edit: Granted, some npc's are pretty memorable, like the crazy "don't walk on the flowers" lady in BOTW.

@TheBigBlue I mean, he looks as he should. Having clothes reminiscent of the Gerudo from BotW

@MegaVel91 Huh? Yeah, of course he looks that way, I wasn’t critiquing his design, he looks amazing. My last comment was just related to NL’s most recent article. It’s a strange one.

Oh my goodness, that trailer was remarkable. It showed so much stuff but I still feel like they're holding back from showing us everything which I love. Boss fights, Ganondilf, and the new Champions. Not to mention the music, holy cow. Cannot wait for this game now

Jeez, that was an incredible trailer. I’m interested to see if Zelda will be playable though. I’ve always been in the camp that she won’t, but I can’t tell if some of the shots of her in the trailer are during gameplay. If she is, I doubt it will be full on exploration. More like the MJ sections in Spider-Man. Either way, this looks like it will be an amazing game.

@WoomyNNYes I just rewatched it on my actual TV as opposed to my phone, and yea, I get what you're saying. Regular ol NPC.

IGN and everyone else was making fun of the whole (this game is glorified dlc) thing, and as soon as the new trailer released, they went radio silent about the criticism and started swooning over Ganondorf’s new design

Not sure if there's any meaning to this, but zeldas earings in the new trailer are those acorn like shells that are on those giant stone creatures shoulders. Those acorns are also all over the trailer in little spots as well. They're on the constructs too, and parts of the environment. Not sure what they are but they seem pretty important if she's wearing them as earings, and they're on enemies too.

@TheBigBlue this has definitely been the meatiest trailer, and naturally, it would be the one to shut the "Glorified DLC" talk up. It's perfect, and I need this game tomorrow.

On the bright side, I have my coverage for work that day, and now I just need to fill out the paperwork to take it off. It'll be so, so well deserved. I can't exactly celebrate with my coworkers without blowing my cover, but we'll be finished with testing at the school I work at, and ugh I just need that day.

I rewatched the trailer, and I think I was wrong about playable Zelda. Looks more like a cutscene than actual gameplay.

@Owl1
Probably not, hopefully whatever the DLC is they do something like trial of the sword. Honestly it’s my favorite part of BOTW. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Zelda have sections like MJ in Spider-Man or Peach in TTYD, though.

That trailer was amazing and May 12th can't come soon enough! I've already exhausted the money cannons and am now turning to the hype cannons.

Laughing at some in the comments on NL still saying it looks more of the same, after this trailer I can't be more happy to have been right all this time but it looks like there are people so deep in denial about their own mistake that they can't admit they were wrong even now. Kinda scary if you think about it.

@Varkster there is this one user that really doesn’t want to let go of thought that this game is a glorified dlc. It’s just their opinion though. Even if this game looked really really rough, there would be only one thing that mattered to me.

GANONDORF IS BAAAAACK

@TheBigBlue Demise appeared in the trailer too, it feels like a game which theyre trying to use as a vehicle to tie all games in a knot, hence the ouroboros symbol.

Funny how alongside this I'm also extremely excited for another Ouroboros game to come out this year (Xenoblade 3 DLC).

Speaking of, genuinely curious to see how much involvement Monolith Soft had with helping the Zelda team on this one.
