Topic: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Majora's Mask is the only one, I think.

That's what I thought initially, but Nintendo like their game mechanics to usually fit in with the logic of the world. Why would a random puddle of water be teleporting you to the sky? That would surely be an updraft of air sort of deal (especially given that that's an already established concept in the previous game).

Surely they would make that a seamless affair as well, given that it's an open world game? The thing we saw looked like it would've been more of a teleport, if those 2 clips were really connected.

@Dezzy Sheikah magic puddle.

@Dezzy Link is literally crawling out of puddle in the next scene.

@teo_o @Dezzy Link's Awakening.

They're trying to tell you to play the trailer backwards..... It's not that deep

Silly observation but did anyone see a sword on link at all? I replayed it a few times and didn't notice him having one. Obviously means nothing im sure, just a fun little observation I noticed.

@NintendoByNature His back was too crowded with the bow and shield honestly.

Someone pointed out to me that Link's hand isn't robotic, but rather looks corrupted or damaged.

@VoidofLight yea could be. Suppose I'd have to go back to botw1 and see how he looks In when you have a sword.

@NintendoByNature Not silly at all, in fact this link is right handed, so it's extremely plausibile Aonuma will explain your starting from scratch again, with link losing the sword at the same time he loses his arm, with the possibility to recover the sword later in the game (along with zelda perhaps?).

@teo_o ooo very interesting indeed.

It wouldn't surprise me if they didn't just expand the skies, but also did something under Hyrule, seeing as Zelda fell down a pit.

Also, i don't know if it's just me, but now the hero on the tapestry makes much more sense.
Is it just me? i mean, visually at least, zelda was spot on at the end of the game, but link never even came close.

Ok, I'm pretty certain that, upon watching the trailer a second time, LINK is only shown as playable in the overworld sections, while ZELDA is only playable in the sky sections. What this means? I dunno, but I'M EXCITED!

@teo_o There's definitely a similarity. I still feel as if the hand that was pinning ganon down was the hero who sealed Ganondorf, causing the Calamity to come back every 10,000 years.

@the_weakest_link No.. that's not it at all. The guy in the sky is Link, and the guy in the overworld is also Link, as evident by the blue earing, same hand, and the fact that the outfit in the sky shots is made mainly for males, exposing the character's chest and back.

I can't blame people trying to find hope for an active role for zelda.
By the looks of today's trailer she could be again the damsel in distress, and it would be a missed opportunity really. She has for once (well, since wind waker, really)
an interesting backstory as an archeologist, or at least an active role in understanding a lost culture/technology.
I hope Nintendo is just playing with expectations, and will actually find a bigger role for her.

Hmmm... is the triforce of courage in Link's left or (now jacked up) right hand? Think maybe Ganondorf finally managed to steal the dang thing?

Nvm, its his left hand.

@teo_o I mean, just because Zelda fell into the abyss doesn't mean that she's a damsel in distress. Perhaps she'll meet up with Link towards the end of the game or something. The way I see it is that they only did this to get her out of the picture, since Zelda would've been dead weight. She had the fate of either being an A.I. Companion that you were forced to switch to, or a forced co-op mode.

Yeah it’s interesting to see Zelda get put aside in that manner but it doesn’t automatically make her a damsel in distress.

I love the new designs for Link and Zelda though, it’s like they both embraced the wild after the game ended.
