Edit: it's unclear whether or not the E3 2021 Construct is actually a Ranger - it could just as easily be a different, bigger version! What do you think?
The Golem and the ranger seem to be very different to me. The ranger has almost a dinosaur-ish body to me. Like a yoshi with a base instead of legs.
The golem has those earring things going on and the front view looks very different to me.
I get a mini-boss vibe from the golem one, maybe a Talus-type enemy?
I think its clearly in a different scale from the ranger. There is much more detail that represent a larger being. I also feel they dont look the same
The constructs look like the robots from skyward sword from the lanayru desert.
It may just be a perspective difference, like the camera angle was way up close. Or like others suggested, a larger, more advanced type.
What I'm thinking is that Link is on the ground and might be waking up with a ranger standing close and over him looking down, which is why it looks so much larger than what we've seen with the other on the islands. As to what knocked him out, I can only guess that it was the islands lifting or something to do with the hand.
They look like they could possibly be made of copper, the outside of which has oxidized due to long contact with rain, while the inside is still shiny orange. What a beautiful design. I'm in absolute love with these enemies. I think there is probably a deeper reason for the choice of copper as a material besides showing the age of these constructs.
That's a good thought, they have a pottery sound when they break though, but anything is possible in the Sky Islands!
@@shelinkzelda I absolutely love that sound when they break. It somehow sounds so crisp and realistic!
They look like 4 pieces of metal from Skyward Sword
I'm sorry. I don't see the appeal. it's so basic, and so blatantly based on Skyward Swords creatures.. but in the SS graphics. It looks weird and wrong in BOTW.
I hope I am proven wrong!
Calling it: We will get 3 versions of these robots, just like in BOTW. Sentries, flying, and bigger version. Lazy
Copper alloys well with other materials. It could be an indication that as advanced as these machines, and the culture that created them were, that they still had far to go in potential advancement.
I'm sorry but the BOTW Guardian Scouts was an actual original, and very well done design
This looks like a lazy slapped together scrap of Skyward Sword files they had laying around.
hope they also have a scary piano sound when they see you halfway across the sky islands
It's a must. I want to feel the terror of gliding through the sky while in a state of panic as I try to dodge the explosive beams again.
I was hoping for a large bird or wyvern but maybe there will be a large flying construct around the islands
@@ethanself2405 Yeah. That'd be amazing. Great way to test the new aerial combat that they're rumored to be making.
@@ethanself2405 There are those flying enemies now.
I DONT
I love how those ranger constructs just being there peacefully and so absorbed into their own cleaning jobs. They are so cute. In BoTW my Link felt so lonely, it's lovely to have some of friendly native around. The BGM here awakened my memory of exploring in Lanayru Desert and the encounters of these lovely white Jomon-styled robots, as if thousand years has passed in-between .
The lonely days of Link are anyway over in this game! There seems to be a lot of work to restore Hyrule to his old glory! At least I hope that's also a right prediction!
@@dudenintendo605 It's highly possible your prediction! Well, in BoTW don't you feel that, as we progress, there is less friendly interaction and encounters left but only annoying repetitive banana assassins increase... Somehow this is a bit discourging --- the world doesn't get better after our hero's hard work... hope someday Nintendo gives us some kind of reward of gaming progression.
@@shinp0pp0 Oh yes! I think and hope they're just leaving this ever returning cycle of losing and freeing a princess as the main target of their games and will finally open the world after!
Pretty cool that they are moving away from the lonely vibe. Don’t get me wrong, I think that vibe is what MADE BoTW but they should change it up for a sequel.
@@VV-om8vv agreed, I'm glad the open world is back but it's nice to see that Hyrule is gonna help link, at least that's what the trailers depict, one of the newer ones showed Sidon fighting also guide link as well as the random Hylian NPCs
I dunno about you guys but I feel like the ranger construct that appeared much bigger in the trailer kinda looks like it could be looking at link as if he was lying on the ground and just woke up. Could be a cutscene just after link first arrives on a sky island, it would make sense to be greeted by a peaceful construct wondering why link is even there.
That was it zoomed up
It would be interesting if the Zonai were revealed to be the same people who once inhabited Lanayru who made the robots there. They harnessed time shift stones, and Link’s recall ability also shifts time in a way.
I mean those ruins are referred to as the Zonai runis
@@s4v4gedragone43 not on Skyward Sword, they aren’t. The people of Lanayru who made the robots were never talked about.
That would be incredible!
I doubt this will be connected to taht as this story seems to be trying to be something new rather tahn full of callbacks to other games
That would be interesting but I think it was the Sheikah who actually used them. & keep in mind the Sheikah also have backwards tech, like Purah's deaging rune. It would also be nice to see the timeshift stones return. A lot more could be done with them
I love how the color scheme for the sky islands is yellow and green: just like Link with his yellow hair and green tunic. The Zonai and Link both stand out as dark green shapes in the bright yellow grass. It's a subtle touch that makes the islands feel fresh
We know Green represents Courage in Zelda, and it seems to represent this entire sequel. I think the Zonai are on his side, and just testing him.
These are the connections that I see: Malice & Triforce of Power (both primarily red), Sheikah liquid & Triforce of Wisdom (both primarily blue), Zonai energy & Triforce of Courage (both primarily green).
I myself was instantly reminded of Armos and Beamos, particularly the Armos in The Minish Cap, which were built for the *Wind Tribe*. The Wind Tribe, who raised their home above the clouds.
Zeltik is on fire with all these analysis videos! this man is a machine xD
Or maybe, a Golem? 😂❤
@@anaudin Good one! xD
Zeltik IS the hottest Zelda theory CZcamsr 🥵
@@maxwellclark2345 gay
@@maxwellclark2345 Not wrong... ;)
I still think that first Ranger Construct we saw is bigger than the others at least, but with seeing thr others now I think it's most likely this one is looking at Link as he's laying on the ground having just woken up or something along those lines.
So, Link waking up at the start of the new Zelda game?
5:05 when the old enemies from BOTW look 10x better designed and more original..
@@ZeranZeran L
@@nikkothegoblin people that say "L"
Nah. This ain't twitter.
@@ZeranZeranwhat was even the point of replying with that to a comment that wasn’t about designs at all
I can't help but notice the fact that the ranger constructs have guardian-like arms. I wonder how deep the connection between the Sheikah and Zonai run. I'm wondering if the Zonai are just an offshoot of the Sheikah, like the Yiga
The lore said that the Zonai were a barbaric tribe, so I wonder if the sheikah helped essentially "modernize" their kingdom in some way with magic hybrid technology.
No the sheikah are a offshoot of the zonai
@@portiac6097wait really? How does that explain the existence of the sheikah in oot? I’m not trying to disprove you, I’m just curious
@@Cannon_The_Guy sheikah are not the original sheikah there’s a chance that the modern sheikah are a offshoot of the zonai
Or the Sheika were like colonizers who stole their technology, killed them or banished them, and rewrote their legacy
Not construct related, but I feel the comment about the tree was WAY more relevant than anyone is talking about. He said you won't see those much on the surface, which to me means one of two things. Either the tree died out on the surface long ago, or the tree isn't native to Hyrule and is from somewhere beyond their borders. I also wonder if there's a connection between the why the Zonai and why the Shiekah disappeared.
2:18 although they seem similar there's still some differences between the ranger and the golem, the golem has earrings, bigger hands, a slightly different head, and of course, is much bigger in size
and the Golem has orange claws, something that the rangers don't seem to have, maybe an indication that it is an enemy?
@@meialua5178 Mmm, I don't think so, if it was an enemy, then the golem would've had had red eyes like the regular constructs and not hollowed out eyes like the rangers
Clueless
@@Demobunny166 The cube enemy doesn't even have eyes and it still attacks Link, i don't think "red eyes" is a necessity for an enemy
I hope guardians return in tears of the Kingdom, at least the stalkers. Breath of the wild was lacking in enemy variety, they should bring back every enemy that it DID have.
it wouldnt make any sense story-wise though
@@hamzabeg6882 with all the malice being spurted out of the Moon, it would make sense for them to be re-corrupted. That might even explain why the guardian remains are missing.
I think a handful of stalkers spread throughout the map would be cool. Not an enemy, you'll fight much but a fun surprise if you go poking around in a guardian graveyard.
@@friendlycanadian3150 It’d be really cool if they’re only in secret or very specific areas so then it’s a massive surprise when you find one. Kinda like the Shroob fight in Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story. It’d also give you that feeling of raw terror when you first encountered them in BotW.
Plz no the nightmares
the little constructs very much remind me of the ancient robots from skyward sword :) looking forward to all the totk content, thanks for another great video! 👍
Could you give your pfp’s source please?
Ah, so it wasn't just me who thought that!
Considering that there’s a time travel mechanic in skyward sword which involves the ancient robots, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a connection
I was thinking the same thing
@@z0ru4_ Seems like it's official art of Makar from Wind Waker
My personal theory is that the Zonai, while being a similar tribe to the Sheikah, is actually an older one in itself mainly devoted to the worship of the Goddess(es?) or were a tribe of lesser gods themselves. They seem more priest like in devotion (given that their architecture and land is inspired off of Japanese Shrines, while the Shiekah is more closely inspired by the Shinobi.) As said in the video, they have had this ancient advanced technology from the time Hylia fought Demise, and could have even been the ones responsible for the construction of the tower of the Gods (or even the flooding of Hyrule). The Interlopers could also have been an offshoot of the Zonai from given that the timing lines up and the design of the fused shadow is reminiscent of the design of these constructs. If anything we at least know they were responsible for constructing the 3 holy springs in BOTW, and by extension the first 3 temples in Skyward sword. I know there are a few holes in my theory considering the lore said they were a barbaric tribe, and I admit its kinda a "if we don't know who, then the Zonai did it" theory, but a lot of things seem to line up a bit too well.
Considering the constructs basically have the Sheikah eye shape and that the game's title has "tears" in it I'd say the Tears of the Kingdom are the Sheikah, and the Zonai their ancestors.
There's a dragon flying above the sky islands, and each of the other dragons is connected to a goddess. This probably means that the sky island dragon is connected to Hylia, and thus the Zonai probably were too.
@@nexisvids I’m not so sure they are since the Sheikah were around since the age of when Hylia was around in Skyward Sword as Sheikah. Not the current age of that game, but Impa was of the past during the Age of the Goddess. They were not called Zonai nor were there mention of this race outside of BotW. So I think they existed after SS.
What about the 100+ monks that died in all the shrines to later be able to help the new hero? That feels quite religious to me.
"or were a tribe of lesser gods themselves"
Considering that hand turned Link into a demi-god, I'm thinking this.
the zonai are a weird case cus it feels like there's 2 completely different versions of them. In botw they're described as prehistoric barbarians and everything associated with them was primitively carved rock, yet now they're suddenly a super advanced people making magic robots equal to the sheikah
Then there's the strangest thing of all, since we can now say the hand sealing ganon up is infact zonai tech, then why does the barbarian armor (which we know was made by the zonai) look like ganon armor?
Is this gonna be another yiga style thing where the tribe split and half of them went barbarian in service to ganon?
I think they started as pre historic barbarians, then turned into a high technologic civilization, like the Sheikah.
@@Mari_Izu pretty sure that was confirmed already by the hints left in BOTW
By the time Link finds the Barbarian Set the Zonai have reached the peak of their technological advances but now cease to exist as we think. The clothing set could be at most a couple thousand years old. Now that TotK is part of the official Zelda timeline the clothing set suggests that the original Zonai Tribe is still out there somewhere in the world yet Another of the same Zonai tribe but with tech?
@@Mari_Izu Still doesnt explain how they'd go from barbarians dressing up like ganon like they're worshipping him to creating the very seal that locked him up for 10k years
Maybe the Zonai and the Sheikah fought a war that the latter won, and rewrote history books as victors of war do, portraying their enemies as barabric and wrong.
(An analogy: Germany lost both world wars and are depicted by probably every country as the bad guys of the wars, just because they lost, and the winners chose how history was to be written.)
What’s crazy is this video is based on the sky islands and we still have a whole map underneath us to rediscover, I’m blown away by this gameplay video and love how deep zeltik can take us there, Keep up the great work!
I believe aonuma referred to the robot constructs as "golems" in japanese.
just as a small side note.
Various languages are using Golem, it seems just English is using Constructs.
I can confirm it's Golem in the French version too.
That seems really funny because i have had this theory for a long time that zelda has 3 magic energies: spirit, magic/mind and body energy. Body makes up the body, spirit is the amount of mana capacity a thing has and the magic/mind provides the ability to cast magic. Think about it. Wolf link is transformed using a red/black stone to transform in wolf link. Link does have a stamina meter. The champions spirits are green but their abilities can be earned by link. The spirit defines the soul of the object, the mind its (magic) abilities and its body energy the body. Malice then would be literally body energy but it isn't red you would say. Yes its more dark pink/ purplish. Red with dark. Dark in zelda is malice like we see in skywards sword. In other words malice is hatred incarnated. It would explain why the master sword needs these tree. How the champions control the divine beasts. It would explain why the twili magic wielding people can use their technology without interfaces. How link can charge the sheikah slate but zelda not. Because i believe spirit energy is like mana it regenerates but people only have a certain amount. Hell even the enemy twili in TP have red in their heads after being transformed by Zant's power he had gotten by Ganondorf a shape shifting magician. I have been telling people for the past 3 years that likely the sheikah existed out of 3 clans. Each one focused on one of the powers. The sheikah from botw focused on the mind energy/blue sheikah energy. The Yiga whose art and combat style are drawned from the older styles of OoT and some extra are likely those who study th ody energy. And the Zonai are the ones who studied the actual magic/green spirit energy. And what is a Golem its stone brought to life with a spirit. Thats how alchemy defines it. It has a literal soul. It basically proves part of my theory.
@@Feniksdsok
@@Feniksds you misspelled body
i’m so excited to experience this game along everyone- i played botw long after its release, so playing totk for the first time with everyone else is gonna be so fun
Same. I finished BOTW in early 2021, so I was VERY late to the party. I'll be glad to play it along with everyone else.
Same. I only got a switch a couple years aho
I hope you both found BOTW at a lower price than the $60 Nintendo wants to keep since day one...
I started playing it last month
dude same
The constructs kinda look like the robots from Skyward Sword.
Head theory that's in my mind now: What if the great calamity depicted from 10,000 years ago is a different disaster than the one that's seen in breath of the wild, and the mummified corpse of ganondorf was what it was presenting. So the revival of this corpse of ganon is the real great calamity that was being prophesied and the events before were like a puppet (Or phantom) ganon.
Or a different theory of mine is that upon awakening Gannon we are somehow transported back in time to the time of the profecy where we play as a different link.
@@KrulKrulSprietSpriet I was thinking the same, especially given links appearance now closely resembles the hero from the ancient artwork/mural from botws lore
@@mt.crushmore OH MY GOD WAIT A FLIPIN SECOND YOU'RE RIGHT
@@mt.crushmore WAIT. You're onto something. I just remembered that the logo for ToTK has the weird, bumpy looking sword in it. What does that match? A similar style of sword is present in the 1000 years ago artwork. Perhaps we ARE playing a different link after all...
@@acyclicglobe7395 There is literal proof that this isn't the case, this theory has been dead for months
As an artist, I approach this from a purely visual perspective. The shiekah tech looked great, but the Zonai tech looks _incredible._ The teal-grean mosaic stone, the ring patterns laced with energy, stacking eyes and mouths like a jumbled totem pole, it's so original! Character design was always my favorite thing in the Zelda series and they're knocking this out of the park.
😂😂You Uploaded this Video while i was watching "The Legend of Zeltik" By the Bread pirate 😂😂😂😂. That Just Takes "talking of the devil" to a whole new level 😂😂🎉
The way you pump these videos out is insane. 🙌🙌
The Ranger constructs and larger golem like ones look very different to me
The new dragon may be a servant of Hylia herself, similar to how the previous dragons we've seen were servants of Farore, Din, and Nayru. Perhaps it has been guarding the sky islands far above Hyrule this whole time, while Farosh, Dinraal, and Naydra roamed the areas below. When the dragons disappear into the clouds in Breath of the Wild, I can imagine them going up to the sky islands to visit their friend.
2:15 I do not think these two are the same. They look subtly, but noticably different to me. The one from the trailer has orange hands, has nowhere near as many neck pieces/neck is shorter, the collar looks different and in a slightly different place, the “shoulder pieces” with the white blooms on them have Sheikah eyes dangling off, and the face doesn’t protrude nearly as much. They may be the same “class” of Construct but I do not think these two things are the same.
The more I look at it, I see tiny little differences that are EXTREMELY SIMILAR but different. The two blooms on the one from gameplay can’t be seen on the trailer one. The trailer one’s collar with the symbol looks to be a stone texture in the trailer, and is a metal texture in the gameplay. The hands are visibly orange in the trailer, if they’re orange in the gameplay I can’t tell. You know what it looks like to me? It looks like these guys got changed a bit between whenever the trailer was filmed vs whenever Eiji filmed the gameplay. Either that, or maybe there are Rangers that look slightly different but are the same class? Maybe disrepair or something? It really looks like these were two slightly different versions of the same creature to me 😅
THANK YOU! I kept thinking "why is he saying they're the same??" They look so different to me 😅
@@VickiToori yeah, me too. But the shot from the trailer may be a little misleading. 🤷♂️ we will have to see when the game comes out. Maybe there is big versions and small versions that are ever so slightly different?
Lol I was wondering if anyone else would think about this
I was like yeah “similar” but “identical” is kinda a stretch! Lol
You're right, they are different
My pet theory is still: the Zonai worshipped a previously unknown to us goddess of Courage, the god/goddess over Link, who is a counterpart to Hylia being Wisdom, over Zelda, and Demise being Power, over Ganondorf; and therefore has its own energy associated with it. Green energy. The weird alien thing we saw on the carving is that god/goddess. In my headcanon until proven otherwise.
The only issue I have with this is, why is there a fourth Dragon then ? If they worship a goddess of Courage, they should be related to Farosh, but instead they seems to have a dragon of their own.
@@Enowise when they were on the surface, they were mostly located in Faron, in Farosh’s path. When they fled to the sky, they could have found a different dragon to worship. Or who knows they may not even worship that new dragon. Or that dragon could be wholly unrelated to them.
I can't wait for all of your content regarding this game, it's gonna be awesome
It looks like the Sheikah use tech powered by some sort of blue divine energy derived from Nayru, the Zoni use some sort of divine green energy derived from Farore to power thier tech, and perhaps the Gerudo used some sort of divine red energy sorce derived from Din which they couldn't control due to influence from Ganon and it turned into malice?
I just realized something.
The Guardians seem like really creative reinterpretations of the old Beamos enemies mixed with Tektites/Octoroks.
The more I look at the Construct Soldiers, the more they look like reimagined Armos, specifically the versions that have one eye.
I remember that, in the Downfall Timeline, the Zora split into two warring factions; one peaceful, one hostile. Something similar happened with the Sheikah and the Yiga. Maybe something similar happened with the Constructs?
That's why they shoot fireballs at me
It gives the impression that at the difference of the Sheika, the Zonai's technology wasn't developed to be used for weapons, but more concentrated on restoration and protection. While at the same time, considerating the similarities between both Sheikah and Zonai's cores, and difference between the designs of the constructs and guardians... it could imply that the Sheikah developed their technology by using the Zonai's as a reference.
I like the idea that the Zonai constructs were built to house the souls of the Zonai ancestors. Meaning, that the sudden disappearance of the tribe could be explained with this method. However, it’s curious to me what/where/why the sky island are, and especially how the Zonai may be involved with inhabiting or influencing the sky islands. The intentions of the Zonai doing so (housing their souls inside robots to protect their power/land), are still unknown, as well as their involvement with (maybe) sealing Ganon. Maybe these robots were used to deal with a calamity of the past?
It could very well be the case. In Dutch for some reason constructs are called "Zonoïdes" so Zonoids, as in Humanoid, so maybe they are made in their figure?? Idk
The zonai core could maybe used to power up vehicles that we craft.
Also I wonder if the Zonai were divided, the ones in the sky looking ethereal maybe and the ones on the surface more tribal? Like the barbarian armor?
Why is no one talking about the CLEAR and present house foundations with wooden planks pilled up around them just waiting to be crafted into a house/building?
I know!!! We're definitely gonna be able to rebuild hyrule!
Their vehicle and weapon parts
You didn't notice they are at previous shrine locations.....
I just really want more connection to the time shift stones in SS. I think it could tie a lot of things together.
6:29 YES finally someone is talking about this, is such a great movie and the Zelda development team definitely took some inspiration from studio Ghibli!
I'm really starting to wonder how all the energy sources tie together, tbh. As you said, the Zonai constructs may be powered directly by Zonai life force energy or by the souls of the dead that reside in (processed) luminous stones. Considering the mystery of the Zonai's sudden disappearance and how much luminous stone is shown to be underground in Tears of the Kingdom, it really makes you wonder if _all_ those stones are the collective energy of _all_ the Zonai who died or perhaps even sacrificed themselves. Maybe all those lost souls _are_ the titular "tears of the kingdom", countless live given (or taken) for an unknown cause, the fall of an entire kingdom
And, considering the similarities between the Zonai Charge and Giant Ancient Cores, you have to wonder if Sheikah tech also utilizes the energy of the dead or, potentially, an equally dubious substitute. We've heard numerous theories about how their technology strives to mimic the sacred power of the gods, but we also know the Sheikah are no stranger to dark practices in other games such as torture or creating Redeads, as well as performing living mummification on themselves in BotW. Perhaps part of the reason Ganondorf was able to control the Guardians and Divine Beasts so easily is because they were never really "divine" to begin with
So many interesting questions and I truly hope the game doesn't shy away from giving us some unsettling answers
Do you think there’s a malice/Triforce of Power equivalence of these machines? The Sheikah had Guardians, Zonai had Constructs, but do you think there’s a third thing that completes the three ancient robot factions? Like evil golems or effigies? 🤔
I think the monsters are a product of malice
@@patoolian I suppose that’s right. I was kind of hoping for a more mechanical thing but that might just be it 😂
@@thesireverse3979 I'll still hold out for golems and maybe like a phantom Ganon stalking you from time to time
My personal theory:
Monsters are connect to malice and power
Guardians to the shiekah energy and wisdom
Constructs to the zonai energy and courage
When will part 3 of the classic enemies reimagined series drop?
I second this yo yeehaw!
I love that you used my favorite music track from Skyward Sword in this video, the Lanayru Sand Sea.
Something that clicked for me (may or may not be important lore wise) is that the Triforce is often associated with the colors Red (Power), Blue (Wisdom), and Green (Courage). The Yiga are loyal to Ganon and break offs from the Sheikah and their colors are mainly Red, the Sheikah are loyal to the Royal Family and their colors are Blue, and the Zonai are a race we know little about and their colors are Green. This could be a coincidence but it’s just something to think about.
Could be the zonai were also an off shoot/lost branch of the sheika
Yeah I was thinking something along those lines a bit, there isn’t too much proof right now but it does seem logical
Love the music you've been using. Skyward sword has my favorite soundtrack by far!!
Constructs and Ancient Robots could be connected through the Cyclical Timeline theory:
Skyward Sword is the primordial Zelda, and yet the presence of the Ancient Robots indicate that this world has been existing for millennials. What if the Ancient Robots are Constructs that have survived the Time Loop event thanks to their Timeshift stones?
Love this❤
Mind blown
So robots from the past actually come from the future?
This isn’t the first time that an ancient civilization has used the souls of the dead to power a defender. (Sculk catalysts are fueled by the XP dropped by mobs upon death, the Sculk Shrieker has two souls moving in a Yin Yang-esque pattern, and the Warden’s moan sounds very depressed, like it’s mourning someone)
Not only Constructs and Link can fuse weapons, in the latest trailer the Malice Bokoblin that's mining underground has a stick fused with a rock (just like link's)
Once the tears of the kingdom comes out and once you get to discover a potential varieties of the constructs, would you do a video on all of legend of zelda robots or mechanical constucts of a variety (both friendly and hostile) ranging from completely mechanical to cyborg like, Including the blight ganons and calamity ganon (both botw and hyrule worrier forms).
I wonder if the Construct we saw in e2021 is going to be another mini-boss. Perhaps one similar to that of the Lynel?
So excited for more of your high-quality uploads!!
I still think the “golem” creature is a giant construct. It’s much higher detail than the Ranger model, imo
Is it possible that the guardians were made by the Sheika not to fight Ganon, but as a weapon of war against the Zonai? Looking at the technology they both possessed its easy to imagine a furious arms race as both tribes engaged in a war that ended with the first rise of Calamity Ganon.
Impa says that the divine beats and guardians were built and used against calamity Ganon so probably not
@@zGoldenHawk But how do we actually know? History can very easily be re-written
because impa is over 100 years old
this is really starting to remind me of skyward sword. Cant wait to see what happens
I just noticed as you had the 'bigger' golem from the old old trailer that it is most likely not big at all. I think it's the harmless type of Construct, as you see it crane it's long neck down as the head comes closer in frame and I realized it was a long-necked machine instead of an upper body attaching to a lower abdomen
The ghibli film I'm interested in is Howls moving castle, building a house and ideally ultrahanding guardian legs onto it
As always zeltik is posting
quality content. Keep going bro
I notice that the battery power meter you see when the fan is running is not for each fan, it seems to be for the whole vehicle. So I wonder if the amount of time it takes for the battery to run is connected to that tears belt/gadget, so if you have more "drops" the machines can run for a longer time without recharging, kind of like the stamina and how that can be extended.
Yes it is
correction about the golem cobstruct: its not weilding a flamethrower, its weilding a sword with a flamethrower fused to it, so we dont get the flamethrower exclusively or even primarily from these guys
I've always loved Ghodan's battle music and hearing it at the 10 minute mark was an absolute joy.
I like the soldier constructs their animation kinda reminds me of the robots from SpongeBob Battle for Bikini Bottom. Jus a tad goofy but still serious. It's got a mechanical bokoblin vibe that I can't help but love
I wouldn't be surprised if we see some flying constructs in the game, especially if you combine that with Link's skydiving ability.
Yes, it would be logic from a gameplay and lore perspective, ifyou live on flying island and create robot, you will want flying robot. Plus we know zonai fan can lift obje t.
Glad to see these back to back videos from you and the other zelda theorists. I can't wait for the game to come out so there will be more content from you guys
Your videos are keeping me hyped until 12/05 thank you so much for the content!
Do you think that the zonai creatures wil have a other respawn event because they don’t are controlled by the malice
Fun fact: The Japanese name for the Constructs is "Golem", so it's fitting that we called the large guy from the trailer a golem anyway.
The French name is also Golem ! I wonder why they changed the name in English. Tbf the English translation sounds a bit dull from what we've seen so far, I'm not a huge fan of the English names for the new abilities, Ultrahand in particular sounds... very out of place.
What is it in French?
Ultrahand, I mean
@@Lloydoestuff "Emprise" which means "hold" (as in A hold, to have a hold on someone or something, not just the verb "hold"). It gives the ability a more "solemn" and serious tone imo, like a spell, whereas Ultrahand sounds like the name of a toy.
@@Livael23 that's because it is. It's a callback to a very old Nintendo produced toy lmao
Glad you work fast mate, because I am hungry for more zelda content lol
I wonder how the constructs would interact with Ganondorf’s minions and even malice.
Would be a great detail if they attack monsters as well.
@@BlackGamingDude yeah similar to how guardians attack stone talus’ since they aren’t made by Ganon
I think that constructs in tears of the kingdom will sort of be like gaurdians, but they are alot more sentient like bokoblins wheras gaurdians in botw where mindless
I think the ranger golem in the first trailer was actually big and could be their leader, perhaps acting as a tutorial character
The big construct flamethrower is a fusion with a sword on it 😮 3:41
as much as i love the idea of the ranger constructs being peaceful and just tending to the islands, i imagine they can still be hostile towards link, maybe if provoked. considering their name is "Ranger" typically known for a class of soldier prolific in distance combat, i'd imagine if provoked, they'll pull out a bow or fire a laser akin to the smaller guardians we've seen in botw
I feel like the name could also refer to their role as a caretaker. It could be similar to how park rangers tend to national parks.
Imagine walking up to a Ranger Construct and hearing it yell out:
"ALL YOUR KINGDOM ARE BELONG TO US."
Dude all the theories and videos are making me so pumped I feel electric. I can't wait to see all the amazing concepts come to life!!
This has to be a great time to be a Zelda CZcamsr. I know we are all stressed/excited about this game but I have never watched this many videos back to back to back for any Zelda game hoping someone uncovered something I missed in the gameplay showcase. We appreciate everything y'all do. Seriously.
I just noticed the orb-throwing sword that link uses is fused with the symbol that came with those peaceful Zonai robots. So its my theory link will probably be caught in battle with a bigger version of them (hence the cutscene) and probably be able to use it from a drop.
Interpreting the Suzu rope as the symbol... just blew my mind off, I can't understand the way you came up with that IT'S PERFECT
It looks like in the construct image the flamethrower is a fused weapon. You can see the hilt of a rusted sword in his hands. We also don't know if defeating a enemy with a fused weapon will drop the parts of the weapons or just the fused weapon itself. We also haven't seen someone separate a fused weapon.
I’m not an expert or anything but that Minecraft looking enemy is probably the cubes you see in that one panel at 2:42
I still feel like the Ranger construct that we see in the E3 2021 trailer is big maybe it is a boss
I’m honestly so grateful for zeltik
Absolutely top notch video quality, as always!
the music in the first part of the video is so beautiful it's my favorite SS ost
This makes me think about what are the connections between the Zonai and Shekiah. One big one is are they even building this technology in the same time period?
This does provide material for future games that could explain the time periods of their construction and to see the heros that we know exist but haven't played yet.
Ahh, I've forgotten how much I've missed Zeltik videos.
Great video! Can't wait for TOTK!
Originally I thought the constructs were a trial for the hero from the goddess Hylia, but, since you pointed out the luminous stone connection, they're probably Zonia in origin.
I'm excited to face the tall block construct, it's probably a boss.
I'm so confused at the repeated idea that the rangers might be the same as the construct in the older trailer. There are some similar features but other things about them are significantly different. The shoulder pads, the dangly earring things, the orange eye, the "hood" where the neck connects to the body, and more. I don't think they can be the same?
i think the giant construct from 2021 that looks like the tending one is def big, it’s got a lot more detail than the small ones
I’m so hyped and also keep up the content till the game releases its very entertaining and informative❤
Look. I gotta be honest. Massive props for not taking advantage of the massive "I told ya so" from the Zonai Charge's. You had the Zonai pegged before anyone else did, and you were completely correct.
With rangers being programmed as caretakers, it would be interesting if they turned on you to defend the island if you start chopping down trees and grass in front of them
I just can’t get over the details in this video.. top notch
the Golem shot in the trailer was SO miseading! that's amazing you pointed out how it's a close-up. so cool 2:11
2:54 the horn on this construct looks really similar to the horns of the dragons!! the eyes are also very similar in shape and design to the eyes of the dragons 😳
Not to mention the ranger constructs. The shape of their face and hands match the dragons perfectly. Definitely not I coincidence I would say...
@@zalamazu i didn't even look at the hands! nice catch :)
Nice video as always
I love your videos so much, I'm here so early this is so cool!
2:25 The sky island in the background looks like a animal head with mouth open. :)
Your intuition was spot on!!
Yes, I also thought of Laputa, love that film!
I don’t know if anyone’s thought of this, but what if the zonal and the Sheikah had an ancient war, which forced the necessity of soldier constructs on otherwise peaceful tribes, and the losing of the war by the zonal forced them to use their magic to lift the sky islands above hurdle in the same manner as Julia in skyward sword.
your analysis is just so professional and inspiring
