The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (May 12, 2023)

Been watching this in slo-mo and on repeat. Stuff I noticed:

Woah all the Zonai shyt went straight to the fukking air

the tallest one is the ruins north of Hyrule.

There’s bosses on those islands and some of them are dungeons

They built rails for Link to Shield surf on. Wow this some Sonic the Hedgehog shyt!

We can build vehicles now! Land and sea

There’s a 3 headed dragon on that fukking bridge!

He blew up the Great Deku tree!!!

Shield surfing always seemed under-utilized in BOTW, they have a lot of stuff to play with

I think they're borrowing ideas from past Zelda games.

The moon will probably play a significant role. Probably as a base or a source of power for Ganon or be used to crash onto Hyrule like in Majora's Mask
You got the Zonai/Twili from Twilight Princess
The sky islands from Skyward Sword

Wouldn't be surprised if there were some time (oot) or interdimensional (botw) travel

They enhanced the weather engine I can tell from the trailer, even the sunrise and sunset looks better.

Lot of folks saying this game looks the same but as someone whose put in hundreds of hours into both Normal and Master mode I can actually see the improvements. It’s still the same graphical art style, it’s just they pushed the fog back a bit more in some areas probably due to recent advances in texture compression. Nintendo has the best texture compression in the industry.

I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the mass battles happen during bad weather so it can blur and fog out the background to enhance the FPS during that scene or battle scenario.

Ayooo they added the fukking REDEADS from OCARINA OF TIME!!!

I hated them bytches! Scariest enemies ever.

Japanese voice actor for Gannon sounds more evil than English voice actor

And Princess Zelda’s Japanese voice actress sounds better than English

So it seems like the big hook to this game is using the Sheikah slate magnet to find and to build vehicles, land, water, air…etc
