what a cool opportunity to get an invite like that! thanks for sharing and for your transparency
Woooo YT
No way he gets a preview from Nintendo and CZcams comments on his video…Zeltik, you are truly a legend among men.
dang youtube commented on Zeltik's other totk videos, you truly are a legend
@CZcams give Dan his 20m play button
youtube WTF BRO
Dude, Nintendo actually had the most qualified Zelda content creator do the demo. It’s crazy how much better this video is than other demo/gameplay impression videos.
Exactly. Other people are trying to understand the controls and fumbling around. Zeltik immediately tries whistle sprinting. 😂👍🏻
This and commonwealth realm

*Cough Cough* *IGN* *Cough Cough*
Yeah ikr, crazy how often demos are only permitted to those who have undergone a lobotomy or have no idea what the game even is.
The fact that the sapphire arrow did almost 11 hearts worth of damage to Link is actually insane 😳
It makes sense though! If the ice chu jelly and the sapphire both create ice arrows, maybe the rarity of the item plays into its strength? I’d be excited to learn if there’s even stronger variants of the elemental arrows beyond this
@@emmamccartan9277 maybe using elemental dragon parts would be the third tier of strength
@@highcaliber350 nah that would be TOO op, but would be cool
@@-Shinro- It makes, sense tho… Dragon scales are pretty rare.
With low-level armor, that's completely understandable.
This looks incredible

This is insane! I had no idea Nintendo would be doing something like this, congratz man
They only did it cause it’s BOTW dlc

@@bdbdkdfotbrveiw seems like you dont know what a dlc is
@@bdbdkdfotbrveiw my guy hasn't seen anything after the first trailer
I love how Nintendo saw players making flying machines in BotW, and decided to make it an actual mechanic
Then probably sued the players for stealing the idea
@@andyeah3414 FRRR
Edit: It seems I was wrong, people, stop saying I'm wrong, I discovered that from the first person that told that, not from the 5 people XD.
In a recent trailer I saw Link riding a hose while spinning a spear... If I'm not wrong this is a know glitch on BotW (that give huge amount of damage against enemys) that they seem to have added as a actual mechanic of horse battle!
@@jairgsjunior you're wrong, you can just twirl the spear in botw by holding Y while on horse back. The core gameplay aside from the hand abilities are exactly the same
@@jairgsjunior it was always in the game but no one bothered to fight with spears
I just love how the single frame of "Zonai charge" during Aonuma's gameplay made Zelda theorists lose their minds, and now we're seeing "Zonai" literally all over the menu navigation 😂
Zeltik being invited to play this early is awesome. I hope they continue to do this for future Zelda games.
Much better than some ign journo
Nice
nintendo themselves recognizing zeltik being the goat is something i love to see, congrats on the huge invite

12:30 Looks like you can only shoot a set number of arrows depending on your stamina, that and bullet time doesn't drain stamina until you fire now too
Good catch
I knew this game would be incredible but even I wasn’t expecting you to shoot a “stone glider” off a platform like an Aircraft carrier, that is so freaking cool. I can’t wait to get my hands on this game, already have days scheduled off from work to play it
That is an unhealthy level of dedication
@@charlesfinger6812People take days from work for vacations, how is taking off a day or two for something you're really excited for any different? This is something we've been waiting 5-6 years for
I understand completely I’ve already taken 2 days off for release lmao
@@charlesfinger6812 guess you dont know the concept of a vacation leave. Its normal for people who work long hours and just want to chill. Lmao
I've done the same, and my college semester ends right before release, too!
I think the Ascend ability will be used in platforming sections on the sky islands. I really hope that there will be lots of surprises with Ascend, such as thinking you’re going to the top of a mountain, and instead discovering a secret mini dungeon
There's one island that's like a stacked tower. That's a perfect candidate for it
If Ascend is not one of the main abilities used for dungeon exploration in this game, I'm gonna hate it over a huge lost opportunity. Ascend is my favourite ability so far because it alone legitimizes the reuse of the old map, if done correctly.

Also, the fact you think of a reply as a comeback makes you even more childish than the real guy you probably are
I love that the Zonai pieces are in your inventory, preventing you from having to go out and find them yourself. Makes it more free to just make stuff in the moment.
He stated that he was playing from set save files they gave him. He started from an unknowably advanced state in the game.
I almost didn't watch this, afraid of spoilers, but I'm glad I did finally push play. NOTE: If you have already watched Nintendo's TOTK preview videos, you're not going to see anything new of consequence in Zeltik's vid. I think Zeltik's video is helpful, and he narrates clearly & honestly throughout. Nothing is really given away here (NO STORY AT ALL); mostly he just goes through some of Link's available abilities and comments on them. If you're hesitant like I was, I don't think you have anything to worry about if you watch this. I'm very appreciative to Zeltik for his candor and his gracious presentation.
My god shut up 😂
Yeah, it feels like a much longer gameplay demonstration
I’m sad I want story spoilers. (Zelink lol)
Thank you for the comment
He really is the goat I was like you but I'm glad I clicked play.
Man Zeltik, your channel is amazing and the fact you were invited just shows how dedicated and helpful your videos are for Zelda!
hes not the only channel that got an invite,commonwealth realm all so got an invite
I remember when this channel was so small.
Zeltik, I’m happy they chose you to have this play through. You work so hard and put so much effort into your videos. It’s nice to see you were rewarded for all your hard work.
Can I just say it feels so rewarding and good to see others as hyped as I am in the comments? I'm in high school and get heavily judged for obsessing over this game, but reading all these excited comments makes me feels way less alone!
Aw man I’m sorry you get judged. BOTW literally saved my life, so never feel sorry for loving it. Zelda is an incredible game series!
don't worry, those other people probably don't get hyped for any games at all
Hey man, I’m an obsessed high schooler too! Don’t let those judgers get to you! You’re awesome!
Don't let the judging get to you. Not worth it. I'm hyped too. Take care.
I'm an obsession high schooler too. Never let people get you down about what you're passionate about!
The utter creativity and chaos this invites is going to be wild.
It's like they saw the videos of people riding the minecarts across the sky and were like "oh you like this?" 😂
@@AmallieGames I'm pretty sure that's exactly what the Zelda team did.
Nah, the last game was wild, this one is kingdom
You bet i'm gonna fuse 10 rockets to a plank and fly myself to the moon.
Almost like a breath of wildness even
This is peak "I've made it" material. Amazing zeltik and so happy for you!!

12:50?
@@littlefox_100 yes it is
I think I can speak for everyone when I say its absolutely fantastic Nintendo gave you this opportunity! It makes me wonder if they've watched your videos before, and if so, how many? Do they like your theories, or even consider some of them Canon? We'll likely never know, but its very fun to think about
Congrats on the opportunity, and thanks for sharing it with us!
It's crazy to think that the Zonai went from being a big theory, and a group that we thought would never be integral to the story, to basically being the MAIN theme of the next game. They're definitely far more than the "savage" tribe described in BotW, so it will be interesting to see in the story how they ended up with that title (when in reality they were extremely advanced in technology). I love when sequels expand upon smaller elements from the previous game, and make it something huge. It feels like they really honored the fans who took the time to look into the micro in such a massive game.
Looks absolutely amazing and can't wait to play.
My theory on them from what we've seen is that they were essentially a third counterpart to the sheikah and yiga who worshipped the spirit of courage instead of the avatar of wisdom or power (the blood of the goddess and the descendants of the demon tribe curse).
The Sheikah used blue magic and technology primarily, and the yiga used red, representing hylia who the sheikah worshipped and demise who the yiga worshipped. The Zonai all seem to have a greeen aesthetic, which is the color of Farore, the goddess of courage, and the color associated with the spirit of the hero.
Last game had a great emphasis on the sheikah and blue, with link and zelda's traditional canonical outfits being replaced with the blue garb, and the primary crux of the story in the memories being about Zelda awakening her goddess powers while Link's aptitude seemed to come naturally, and now we're getting much more emphasis on Link, with a palette shift to match
@@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868 Makes a ton of sense, had similar ideas as well. The good ol' war crime committing royal family probably banished them for not fully aligning with them, and maybe some of them found a way past the cloud barrier and began developing advanced tech.
@@nobuwashere That's a great point. From what we've seen from TotK, the "warlike" and "savage" title doesn't make any sense from the previous game.
It seems like it was given to them rather than actually describing who they are. The only other reason I could think of is that half of them ended up past the cloud barrier somehow (and developed advanced tech), while the others remained on the ground, and was in fact more "savage."
Other explanation is they all did start off on the ground and were not technologically skilled, and then something happened sealing them all in the sky (maybe the fight against ganondorf in the ancient past?). After this happened, they found ancient tech in the sky islands, and overhauled their culture, learning how to creating hyper advanced tools.
Awww mate, this is crazy cool! Buzzing for those that got to try the game out, I cannot wait!
Are you guys gonna make an analysis on Zeltik demo?! 🤔
You are one of my favorite CZcamsrs at this point, which is incredible considering the niche topic. Congrats on all your hard work, you've single handedly reignited my interest in ToK after waiting YEARS for a sequel to BotW. Bravo!
I like the zonai pachinko machine idea. You seem to get a good amount of random material from it from simply killing constructs, which there are a lot of, so this gear will help with killing more constructs making a creative gameplay loop. In this situation, I like the randomness because it means the player has to get creative
Agreed, but that is not a pachinko machine. That's a capsule vending machine like a Gachapon, similar to a gumball machine. I am surprised Zeltik still hasn't corrected this after responses from his earlier videos talking about this machine.
@Anibal Fermaint Gonzalez omg ty. This has been killing me
That acorn arrow must be a one hit kill. Based on the one example here, that’s what I’m most excited about. Until Im shown otherwise, nothing can top the acorn arrow hype
I will see your acorn arrow hype and raise you by one meat arrow.
all hail the acorn arrow
@@Matthew10950 The sound design could make that a squelchy masterpiece!
@@Wordfishtrombone I'm going to try and arrow feed a dragon.

Right?? So many possibilities! I can't wait
10:00 Map of the Sky.
It's been a tough time of waiting and impatience since the first teaser in 2019. But there was no better way to fill the waiting time than watching your lovingly made videos. Now we're so close! Thank you for everything!
Thanks for your incredible work, both here and in prior videos. And congrats on the recognition of its high quality, as evidenced by the amazing preview you were granted. What a privilege!
The three purple hands ability could be some sort of copy & paste or duplication tool, since Zeltik said that it "streamlines the building process." It also has three hands, rather than just one hand as an icon which could possibly indicate duplication.
I'm thinking it let's you save blueprints.
I bet it's probably called something like "Multihand"
@@Matthew10950 you're right, someone on the ign video was able to read it
I thought it would be something from the ability to Recruit Allies, but it would be very rare that it was an ability and not just an option
Could be an online blueprint sharing feature maybe?
I love how concisely you made this video. Very clear sections and all of the information was relevant. It's made me somewhat interested to try the game out.
This looks incredible, yours and Skill Up’s videos on this have been excellent.
Wasn’t expecting a silky 30fps but hope those frame drops get worked out a little more.
At 5:55 you'll also notice how there's a spot for a new ability not yet aquired alongside the one he wasn't able to talk about, which is interesting because it means there's another ability we get to use. Even with this super small glimpse there's so much new here, and we haven't even seen like 10% of it. Really excited to see the full game and explore all the stuff we haven't seen
I didn't see a camera icon, so it's probably after getting the new sheika slate. Camera or something similar maybe, unless it has a dedicated button to it which I doubt.
@@xShadowbane451 there's an ability named map with the minimap icon, if we can't access the map with - button perhaps it might go there
It’s a surprise tool that will help us later.
Maybe the ability to call Allies?
They could even potentially expand the ring to more than 8 slots later, like some games do to make it a surprise when you get more abilities / key items after thinking you found everything important already.
Just another reason why zeltik is the GOAT
I agree
100%!! This is my fave Zelda focused CZcams channel
He truly is
Bro I’ve been watching him for 7 years I was 13 when I first started going into the lore of Zelda before this channel I just played the games without knowing the lore Zeltik a goat
@@ExoticEio Lmfao. How do you play a bunch of games and not get anything from the lore provided on the surface? Even with just that, there's a lot to Zelda. I'm glad someone like Zeltik can do that for you. But it blows my mind that people don't pay attention to the video games they play. Or anything for that matter.
Thank you for showing us! I’m so glad Nintendo recognized how incredible of a Zeldatuber you are! So well deserved! I can’t wait for the game!
Been watching your vids since 800 subs, so happy to see you getting pre release gameplay straight from Nintendo. You’ve come so far 🙏
I just want to say, thank you for making a video on this game without putting any spoilers in the thumbnail. You did the world a service, and have earned my respect

they couldn't have done that even if they had wanted to

I love that Zeltik ended the summary by calling the game "special." After the final trailer, I used the same adjective. What a time to be alive!
Lol
I thought special means when somebody is mentally or physically disabled.
Thanks Zeltik and Nintendo for assembling this footage and extra content. Very excited for this release!
Wow the game looks incredible. I can't wait to play it when it comes out.
I hope there is a way to create a "favorites" list for things you want to fuse to your arrows. It's be nice to be able to experiment and then set your list before a certain puzzle/dungeon/encounter.
I mean, in the item menu it does show a “Star” symbol so maybe that’ll be your favorites tab?

all the new abilities look amazing and the ultrahand and fuse abilities seem to have limitless possibilities
it all looks amazing
Whoooo! I am so hyped for this game! Awesome video and great to hear how much you enjoyed it!
Everything from the gameplay to the seamlessness of all the mechanics, it all looks great. Noticed some frame rate drops that hopefully aren’t bad during high action moments. BUT congrats on this opportunity and for sharing this. You are the GOAT 🐐
BotW had frame rate drops during high action sequences too. I still hate fighting the Lynel in the colosseum because the flame blade during a flurry rush makes the game slow down to less than 10fps
I watched a video from gamexplain and de FPS are more fluid, maybe was the record who drops the frame
@@Nintendofan91 facts it was pretty bad. Im a little bit more optimistic on TOTK simply bc the wii u isn’t in the picture anymore. I tend to forget BOTW was a wii u game first that was ported to switch. I’m not super picky about graphics but them frames are important.
Small correction, the "Pachinko style machines" are more like Gashapon; Pachinko has the ball going down a large pegboard like structure (sort of vertical pinball) , Gashapon are the machines you get little plastic eggs with toys or treats in.
Love your videos man!! Thank you for always giving good content!! ❤
Challenges in this game are going to be next-level. I can’t imagine what people will come up with for unique playthroughs of this game.
Pretty wild that the things that looked like magical items in the trailers (the flamethrower and rocketarm) turned out to be things you can craft using the vehicle parts! I think that putting the ventilator on the shield would make a neat item as well. Also, I hope that you can put the rocket on a hammer, and make yourself a rockethammer!

dude this must have been such an insane honor to be able to play something like this early
Congrats on 700k! Well deserved love the content 😊
By far the best preview!!! great job!!
I LOVE the QoL changes. Using scope mid-air and bullet time not draining stamina like crazy is SUPER appreciated.
The game looks INCREDIBLE. I hope from a technical standpoint it holds up. There were a few frame rate drops & pop-in. Pop-in I’m concerned about because in the sky islands you can travel at great speed with the rockets, I hope it isn’t too bad though!
Pop in and fps drops ahoy!
Important to remember to that this game was fully built for the switch. BOTW was made for WiiU and then ported for Switch. Not to say that none of that stuff will happen, but I don’t think it will be worse then anything BOTW had.
Framerate drops are from Nintendo B-Roll footage. Game is very stable framerate wise
Was noticing the framedrops as well, but it could just be Zeltik's video compression / capture method.
@@linkkirby6533I hope not 😭
I'm on my 4th watch through of this and good lord, there's so much cool stuff to see and think about. I can't wait for your breakdown when the embargo is lifted!
Happy you got to get a hands on preview thank you for showing us this great gameplay and commentary.
I wonder if the reason why Zeltic didn't show off the meat arrow is because it's actually how you make the bow of light
And he teased us twice and didn't fuse the arrow with the meat 😭
The of bow light really

I just want to say that the menus for ToTK look soooooooo nice. And also the multiple levels that the map has is also amazing, it overall looks a lot smoother and sound a lot nicer than the BoTW menus.
At 17:30 I heard the ordon village theme and that brought me memories from twilight princess from when I was 8. That was insane. I’m so excited to play Totk
I've been carefully avoiding spoilers of the game and story everywhere I go online, but this is such a great look into what to expect. I don't see this as spoilers at all, it's actually helpful to start wrapping my head around the new mechanics which seem so complicated at first, but hopefully become second nature to maneuver around with. I'm quaking in anticipation for the release of the game!!
I could watch every bit of every one of these preview videos I'm seeing from major media outlets, but I only want to watch this one. Then the rest of the game is mine to explore! Thanks, Zeltik! This was perfect - the best blend of showing off, but not showing too much.
literally almost shed a tear when zeltik said BOTW came out 6 years ago...damn that hit me in the feels lol
And this is what we got after 6 years, a fusing mechanic, devs said this started as dlc and it shows
@@Spacecowboyy69 Majora's mask was released using the same engine as OOT, same link with a "mask mechanic". Would you consider it DLC?

@@Spacecowboyy69 somebody's mad😂
@@dommmmmmmelton nope just disapointed that this is what we waited 6 years for, botw 2.0 nuts and bolts edition
From what I've seen, the gameplay is just expertly crafted. everything has a reason and ties to something else, it's a small amount of tools but a lot of possibilities. as a game dev wanna be, this is sick.
I've been watching your content since 2015 when Breath of the Wild was still Zelda Wii U, and it's so awesome to see Nintendo themselves recognize you and invite you to one of these media events. Congrats man
9:49 this is f’ing EPIC! I’m sure a hot air balloon was actually a more likely thought by Nintendo than one might think, but I’m very curious to see what other unexpected builds people come up with that work as more than they first appear.
it's amazing how much the developers are able to utilize the players' intuition rather than explicit tutorials, feels like it will make experimenting with the mechanics a lot more satisfying
@@gabrieljohnson6304 100%
Seems like these devs actually play their games AS a player, and not as a dev. And I know they’ve talked about taking periodic time for everyone to just play what they’ve built so far. So they’re not just using a command panel and giving themselves extra items / utilities. They get “make this thing look suspicious / interesting and the player will go there without us telling them to”
I have barely even watched trailers for the game until now and this video just got me so unbelievably hype
I've been rewatching this to get me through these last few days before release. So excited.
I had very high expectations, yet this alone already highly exceeds them. I physically can not wait
yeah im freaking out
Ik right, this will definitely be my new favourite game

I'm actually kinda iffy about ultrahand because I'm not a super creative person and I'm afraid it'll just leave me frustrated. I'm sure engineers will love these mechanics. xD
Same! Im hoping for some idiot proof ways to build things when they’re necessary, I’m not super amped about it like most seem to be
@@AnaPie896 Yep, it's the fact that it seems so necessary for gameplay that I'm a little bummed about. Fingers crossed Nintendo provides some different avenues such as time shifting to reach the sky islands. Because I imagine I'll get very bored building legos eventually. But we'll see!
Same! Tears of the Kingdom honestly hasn't impressed me yet. Nothing is said about locations or dungeons or puzzles or actual interaction with the world. It's all these gimmicks being blown up.
@@Thirteen13551355 BotW trailers before release mostly showcased similar gameplay mechanics (how items are dropped by enemies, how you can cut trees, use paraglider above firecamps to get elevation, shock arrows on water for greater effects, etc.) or very generic travel sessions to show how big the world was, and very few story elements just enough to give you an idea.
We already saw glimpses of new puzzles : the rotating sky island, assembling vehicles to get across water bodies or broken train tracks, etc.
Most of the iconic BotW places have been altered to some extend, which is not enough to make a full game out of it, but we didn't see a lot of the sky islands, only the main tutorial islands and glimpses of what seem to be sky dungeons or at least big shrine-like "mini-dungeons" (the big tornado, the floating water bubbles islands...). And Nintendo has shown almost nothing about the underground, I think there is less than 20s of footage of underground in all gameplay showcases. There will surely be dungeons there, and I suspect big areas to explore too.
I think there will be more interactions with the world than in BotW. They teased some kind of escort mission, companions fighting enemies with you, a troop of what seems to be recruitable NPCs with fused weapons (makes me think we recruit them and provide them with weapons, what for I have no idea). And one of the trailers show a group of armed villagers fighting monsters, I don't know if it's a random event similar to what we could encounter in BotW or if there is some kind of faction quest going on where you help inhabitants reclaim some lands. Also we saw a soldier / explorer encampment in ruined Castle town which made many Zelda content creators wonder if it will just be normal location or something you can improve with quests in a similar way to Tarrey Town in BotW.
But in the end, we will know if it's "just DLC" or Nintendo actually hid enormous chunks of the game.
@@mythicdawn9574 it’s not “DLC”. It’s a sequel to BOTW.
Had to come back and rewatch this today to make sure watching it yesterday wasn’t just a dream
you are still the best Zelda youtuber and I warch your videos since the Zelda Wii U soeculation days. So happy for you!
Hate that I’m so desperate to play this game that I’m watching this even though I don’t wanna see anything 😂
Edit: also super happy for you being invited to Nintendo, that must be such a great experience
This is the exact mix of emotions I’m feeling. Like I’m soooooo hyped for this game and I want to inhale every scrap of information out there, but at the same time I want to be surprised and I don’t want to spoil it all for myself before I can even get my hands on it.
Same
I'm glad that I'm not the only one feeling this, lol.
Zeltik is on a whole new level with his Zelda coverage 🎉
This video was so informative and really enjoyed your transparency 🙂
Thank you for this Zeltik, I am SO hyped for tears of the kingdom
This looks incredible. The amount of thought that went into the crafting system, the combat, the freedom to make literally anything?!?! I think it's safe to say this will be one of the best Zelda games ever made
Well said! 👏
Also, is it just me or does the menu/map screen look really cool?
Elden Ring takes the cake over this game. This is nothing more than an expansion.
Korok Seeds are back! Wow!
Same Hyrule world with floating islands and possibly caves to explore.....
They will most likely have Shrines again and super lame dungeons.
They are using the same music....which the music was already lacking.
Literally the only thing going for this game are new game mechanics to traverse the sky, which these mechanics also assist in combat.
The game is literally a physics/Minecraft simulator....I guess that's an upgrade from BotW, which was a rock climbing simulator.
Definitely not worth $70! Stop giving Nintendo your money.
@@Bob-fh3yk someone woke up on the wrong side of bed 😂 relax
@@Bob-fh3yk ok Bob
@@Bob-fh3yk What made you think that it is a good idea to write so much about an opinion no one cares anymore after the final trailer dropped? 😂Most skeptics are converted and excited! 😁
So glad zeltik got to visit Nintendo and get a taste of this game he's so anticipated. when it comes out don't be super worried about cranking content out make sure to stop smell the roses and indulge the part of you the grew to love Zelda so much in the first place, we will all be ready to watch your wonderful take on it when your ready, best wishes
ZELTIC I LOVE YOU, IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS GAME, THANK YOU FOR THE CONTENT!!!
Yo, congrats to Zeltik. This is such a fantastic achievement for him and his channel; a full opportunity to preview a headline Nintendo game is wild!
With a name like Great Sky Island, I'm now 100% sure that it's supposed to be the parallel to the Great Plateau. Congrats on the invitation!
Thank you Zeltik, this was a fun watch, it makes me even more excited to get the game :D
Zeltik ALWAYS coming in clutch with the video I need to see!!!!
I've seen a lot of people making videos about their experience with this demo, however I can confidently say yours is not only the most polished and streamlined, as well as the most fun to watch!! I wish I could subscribe again to you!!
Completely agree! This was an extremely professional video.
definitely a work made with lots of love ❤
My initial theory for the mystery ability is that it will function like a "garage", allowing you to save designs for machines.
Then again, this doesn't seem like something that they would want to keep a huge secret, so I don't know.
I love ur vids! :D also I'm really REALLY excited for T. O. K.
really glad no one is spoiling any of the story, thats a big part of what im most exsited about, as well as the sky idslands and ive heard about some underground stuff
The new abilities look awesome! I do find myself wondering what I am going to do without the bomb rune. Running away from groups of silver bokoblins and dropping bombs to cover my trail was how I got through many combat encounters.
Imagine bomb flowers come back
@@Glitchyy07I hope so that would be insane
@@Glitchyy07 they are back! I read your comment then went over to Nintendo primes channel and they went to the same type of demo event and fused them to an arrow
@@Glitchyy07 they are!
I’ve never thought of that before 😭😱
Shows why Zeltik is the best Zelda CZcamsr. Insanely fast uploads and deep insights. Really deserved to try the game early! Hype train everybody! 16 Days to go!
Dude never stops working
It is so cool from nintendo to keep still some secrets about the game, this makes me super excited ! But still we can see a bit more of the game before it releases. I am definitely anticipating it !
