I can hear every other open-world game dev crying bitter tears about how hard it's gonna be to steal that fusion mechanic -R
"How do we fuse guns with other guns!?"
Red and blue play through of tok 👀
Nobody is copying Nintendo lmao, these games are very basic.
Edit: Should clarify, Nintendo games aren’t as innovative and revolutionary as they used to be. This game is going to look and play almost exactly as the first did, it’s a barebones sequel that should’ve been left as a DLC. Nintendo fans get excited over the bare minimum and it’s hilarious.
@@KayJune PEOPLE were copying Nintendo lmfao.
yeah its *never* been done before
I really like how the fuse ability make monster parts a lot more useful than mass selling to Beedle
THIS
So true…
Or Kilton
Agreed
I would mention elixirs, but let's be honest, I haven't made a single one, the only elixirs I used were fire elixirs to reach the peak of death mountain
Anyone watching this in March 2024?
Unbelievable that it is almost a year since this game has been released. Time flies too fast.
ong bro
April
I remember reading they prepped this demonstration as a direct response to people's lukewarm reception to the trailers (since it wasn't very clear just how much different the gameplay would be compared to BotW). Looking back it actually worked quite well.
it hurts
May❤
A video game that actually finshes production before releasing it. 10/10 just for that
I'm emulating this on pc with version 1.0. No patch, no update, it just works.
Well done Nintendo.
wait did you dump it or pirate it
I certainly couldn't recall. :p
I love that the fusion hand ability basically tells us that they saw players making flying machines with boxes and minekarts and went "Write that down! WRITE THAT DOWN!!"
good developers look at how people have fun with their game, and embrace it. while Nintendo is usually deaf to this philosophy, there are exceptions, the legend of Zelda development team seems to get the idea perfectly.
@@myballspaul4889 you are 100% right, dear myballs
@@feyh 🤨🤨🤨
That’s the reason you should let players experiment haha
Yeah I think people got very creative with the little ressources they had (in terms of being able to assemble different pieces together) and Nintendo just went with that lol.
Nintendo saw that people were flying around by using multiple objects together, so they decided to embrace the idea and add the Fuse ability. Absolutely incredible. The sheer amount of crazy inventions we'll see from that ability is going to be nuts.
Actually they had this ideas before cause a lot of what you see in TotK has been taken from the unused concepts from the development of BoTW, they knew what players would do with Links abilities and the physics of the game and decided to make it part of the mechanics for this sequel which is amazing.
Expect alot of dick shaped inventions.
@@kurokoro after all, the devs also play games and do funky stuff like everyone else! It's just a matter of if it's doable in x period of time, and launching these features in BotW wouldnt be achievable
@@kurokoro There are interviews where Aonuma and co. recall watching people do crazy ridiculous things with Magnesis and such (like the flying double-minecar they had to literally patch out) and just having their minds blown. Sure some of these concepts were pre-BotW, but don't try and tell me that the players' own ingenuity wasn't the spark that became the flames.
@@SomeCZcamsTraveler Of course the players exploited this mechanics in awesome ways and the developers where surprised how they used them but the basic concepts for a lot of this was already there, I mean imagine when the sequel comes out and players do the same again, obviously they will impress the developers even more. Just like you said they gave us the fire and we used it in many ways unthinkable.
11:48 the water droplets getting splashed so high up in the air since the fall was so high is just such a cool detail to show the amazing physics of this game…I mean realistically Link would be dead but I don’t mind
my guy, link can pull the paraglider one millisecond before he hits the ground lmao.
@@currybeansI adore doing that Lmao.
@@currybeans There's also being able to sit in a hot spring for 100 years.
I know this comment is 10 months old, but Link would be dead realistically?
yes
The last game had runes that had very wide applications in the world of the game. Like stasis was for puzzles but it could also be used for combat, etc. I'm excited to see what ridiculous uses we find for all these new tools too.
Me making a spear with a wooden crate 🥸
Runes were challenging, but blandly looked the same. Temples are a missing peice that should return.
That is actually the strange thing, there has to be more abilities because apart from recall, non of this really sounds directly useful in combat.
Though I do assume ultrahand will work just like magnesis but on any item so we can chop down a tree and dump it on enemies instead of only using metal grates or bolls.
I assume there will be some sort of bomb ability other than the weapon show.
@@Stinkyremy who knows? They are still hiding tons after the final trailer! So maybe we could have more abilities..
Fuse a cookoo to a shield the meme is now real
One thing that struck me with the first game was just how unbelievably creative the fans were. Between electric flying minecarts and sneaking on enemy's heads to jump, people were able to come up with a super incredible range of ideas that I never would've thought of. I'm so glad this game seems to be catering to and encouraging that out of the box thinking.
No I did all of those things first, it was just me
I'm pretty sure they got the fusing abilty idea from those devices that players created!
@@magolord2820 no doubt, and i'm sure once Tears is out for a few weeks, its developers will be stunned with creations they never thought of during the entire development process
The engine's capability of doing all these weird things is part of what made Breath of the Wild so incredible, so it is definitely nice to see they not only noticed this, but catered to those fans.
Enemies
With the Ascend ability, imagine a completely sealed secret cavern: You’re in a cave, you want to go to the mountaintop, so you use Ascend. But instead of popping up at the top, you pop up in a secret sealed cavern that you didn’t know was above you the whole time.
Imagine a dungeon or quest with puzzles that gives you clues to where these secret caverns are located.
I was thinking about that! 😱
Bro, you're gonna make me ascend through every inch of every ceiling looking for a secret cavern now when the game comes out💀
I am imagining an entire dungeon with this mechanic in mind, maybe the map or clues help you figure out when a path is above you. I'm really hoping they have that in the game!
I'm pretty sure that was actually detailed in the patent that was released for it a fair while back. There was a drawing of a little sealed cavern otherwise unaccessible
@@patrickshaw411 they would probably make ceilings that prevent you from using it except in specific spots.
It’s nice to see a game that focuses on physics and interaction with the world.
am I going to need to have played Breath of the Wild to understand this game?
@@pixelgon_z I think Nintendo just released a recap if you don’t wanna play the first game.
@@pixelgon_z I think it would be better to play Breath of the Wild first so you're already familiar with the story, characters, world etc. You might miss quite a bit of background information, but idk how they've handled it.
Yeah, because flying islands is physics 100%
hl2
Bro I remember watching this and crying from how good it was
fr
The Fuse ability is insane. The Possiblities you'll have with it, is astonishing
Its pointless we had enough traversal anyway and for combat who uses weird weapons like that if u have a good sword
You can aim bot enemies hope they won’t report us
@@teodorcaraba979 It isn't pointless. You don't have an imagination.
@@teodorcaraba979 wrong
@@teodorcaraba979 who cares if it’s weird, and you can combine two swords and make them even stronger
They saw all the "flying vehicles" people were managing to make by glitching guardians or the physics mechanics and just said "hey wait a minute, that's a good idea!" They 100% leaned in to how people were actually playing the game and it looks like they have given us mechanics that will play into that. Well done!
looks like the same set up as Breath of the Wild. 2:02 lift up is new. 5:01 still collect food.
@@jimnfl7134 no way you still have to eat? I never could’ve ever guessed…
Also fuse is new, upwarp (can’t remember the name), dodongos and cheese all that new stuff
This is why they have made a fortune making games. Game design 101
Can’t wait to fight that dragon thing I’m assuming there are gonna be enemy team ups
yeah they also addressed the complains about weapon durability with fusion
I can't even imagine how speed runs are going to look now. These new abilities are insane
The sad truth about speedruns is that abilities stop being relevant once they find one or two good tricks that just make them obsolete.
attaching wood to a log (any %)
@@7PlayingWithFire7 That's kind of the idea. To make as much of the game obsolete as you can in order to beat it as fast as possible. It isn't a "sad truth" it's just the nature of speedrunning.
Also, this isn't even inherently true. 100% runs often have to make use of every item/ability.
Look at Ocarina of Time, nearly every item is important.
Piracy is the way. ;)
@@7PlayingWithFire7 Piracy is the way. ;)
Who’s watching this after you beat the game already but feel nostalgic for the hype we had before it came out
Me but waiting for the next zelda game..
i miss the waiting period so much
I love how the fuse ability opens your ENTIRE inventory up to creative possibilities. What was previously reserved for cooking now also creates a homing missile?! That's so fun!
Meat Arrow.
@@MDLuffy1234YT Meat Missile?
@@johnfulcher8448 maybe.
Mmmmm cooked meat arrow
For real. I love botw, but there were many MANY useless items in it.
Gold star move. Nintendo saw people janking BOTW with flying machines and levitating boxes and instead of cracking down on their glitchy nonsense, they applied their physics engine to make that kind of creativity a main gameplay mechanic. Absolutely stellar stuff.
I love it when companies roll with stuff like that. Rather than seeing it as an insult they build off of it. Feels like they enjoy playing it and the community. Like Valorant making jokes when a player portrait glitched and got stretched, they didn’t patch it they memed with it. Just makes it feel like the devs actually are part of the community and not some ambiguous people typing code.
The game is for babies grow up. No where nearly as good as the dark souls games.
@@Mynipplesmychoice the amount of wrong you are is immeasurable
Magnesis metal ball in a minecart as a gameplay mechanic? Yes please!
Wow, so genius bro. Nintendo literally found a way to make fanboys fanboy even more - that "don't complain about there not being much to do, because if you do, the fanboys will come at you with the "you have a bad imagination bro" excuse in return, and we commend them for it!" was a classy way to end the video. Just like Cyberpunk 2077, only a few of us saw the cracks before the game's release. Seems it's the exact same now, but let me guess, I'm not allowed to be skeptical, I just need to... use my imagination?
Recall 1:50 Fuse 3:45 Ultrahand 7:35 Ascend 9:50
Thank you bro. We need more people like you in this cruel, cruel world
@@chillkillisded im just helping people who just want to see a specific ability's gameplay
@@whale0_ i love this terrible fate
I'm astounded at how they've managed to take the foundation of botw and elevate the potential of creativity and curiosity. The amount of love and effort in this title is so clear I'm so excited to see how I can use these abilities!!!
I love how they saw players using thinks like octobaloons, boats, mine carts, stasis, and the general physics engine (as well as other materials and abilities) to make weird machines and mechanisms and just went “yeah, let’s put that in the game”
It looks incredible and I’m so excited to make the weirdest mechanisms imaginable!
I hope we get an in-lore reason as to why these contraptions exist.
@@legomaster2538 zonai. the constructs drop zonai cores and there were similar looking npcs.
Have you seen a clip of someone stasis launching a yellow chuchu jelly then bullet time shooting it to kill 15 birds mid flight? BOTW was insane and im excited to see what other things there are to mess around with
@@legomaster2538 did you even play botw? The lore reason is an ancient civilization that made all the literal robots was taken over by Ganon. They literally dug robots out of a mountain and activated them. Link was chosen to use that technology alongside magic to stop the evil. At this point he's just had more time to learn that technology.
@@rotojakku that was the sheikah, these aren’t the same contraptions and are most likely zonai.
That fuse ability is even crazier than I originally imagined. We are going to be seeing videos years after the game comes out of people finding the best fuse combination or combining things that are across the map.
bad piggies
@@kakyoindonut3213 yeah
No more buying a house. Build houses that fly.
Engineer of the wild
It's kinda ridiculous swinging a rock on a brittle branch like it weighs nothing...
I love the way they don't change the gameplay too much in compare with botw. 6 years ago they created the best handheld open world RPG game and no one have ever close to match it even until 6 years later. Don't change if it's not broken, but enhance it.
That part
Elden Ring
@Imature Gamer they created best open world in 2017 all the way till 2022*
Handheld not needed.
That’s the exact reason why Nintendo is so succesful. They know when it’s time to create something new and when it’s better to keep things as they are. That’s why we still get new traditional style Mario games. Why fix something that isn’t broken?
Piracy is the way. ;)
never been more excited for a game. this trailer was so well done
Link picking up a random stick while hiking is the most realistic mechanic ever in a video game.
ur not wrong
that part was good
the rest worries me. this looks so base, bare bones, like barely any difference from botw.
and it looks like the shrines are back.. just in the sky now. Ugh
@@ZeranZeran you say that but I’m excited for how people are going to absolutely break that fuse mechanic
@@sspectre8217 finally, we can have wind stick!
@@sspectre8217 Actually if you look into the part where he makes a boat, if basically forces every "Fusion" into a very limited set of selections. Remember that this is a trailer, and so this is probably literally trying to show the best possible example. Seems like something that is going to get really old, really fast. But you know what? I hope Nintendo and Zelda team prove me wrong.
The new abilities are going to make speedruns of this hilarious - can’t wait to see what people come up with
Link rolls up on Ganondorf in a tank.
@chiffmonkey nah you're thinking too small, I wanna see him role up in a Death Star
When the video showed Link teleporting through a ceiling I thought "oh speedrunners are gonna love this one"
I already finished it by putting 200 rakes together and reaching Ganondorf before you!!!
I love how this is the first thing we think of
Bro no way this is about to a year old. I remember waiting in the school cafeteria because freshman started classes later. I was waiting for this to drop and hoping the bell didn’t ring, indicating i had to go to class. It rung the second they started revealing the special edition oled switch. I love the game.
Thank you for Ocarina of Time and all the other Zelda games you made possible. Years of awesome memories
I can understand why this took so long. Mathematically, there's an insane number of potential combinations you have to account for to make a system like this work without the whole thing descending into flames.
trust me speedrunners will make it descend into flames
@@rygqy2140 I bet if you throw an item at a wall, you can clip its momentum with fusion. That means you could probably shunt a Fan into the ground and push yourself out of bounds and then jus speed-exploit with Stasis/Rewind.
@@omegaminoseer4539 Dear Hylia, it's already starting.
WOW
@@omegaminoseer4539 THE GAME ISN'T EVEN OUT YET AND Y'ALL ARE THEORIZING OOB'S!!

OMG IT RLLY ZACK
And yet it feels like a year. @ZackScottGames I watched your original BOTW playlist back in the day.
Hello Zack! I'm a big fan of your content!!
I love your vids!❤️
NOOOOOOOOOO! I need it now. There are infinite possibilities. I will never stop playing this. I'm full of excitement like a 3-year-old getting candy for the first time. I cannot wait for TotK to be released. THANK YOU NINTENDO!
Just like every other release. Zelda always makes me feel this way. Oot when I was 8. Twilight princess when I was a teen. And my favorite attp where it began for me. Every launch has me excited and I find myself reading posts in anticipation exactly the same way a did 20 years ago.
Man Nintendo knows how to do it right. Games my be behind others but the quality is un matched. There is no doubt a main Nintendo release will be a banger. That's why we stay so true to our roots.
Thank you nintendo
You should play Banjo Kazooie nuts and bolts if you havent already! all of the building stuff you can do in that game too and its so fun
The best thing about video games it can have infinite possibilities. And this game looks and feels amazing and loved breath of the wild.
@@Vergil2122 perfectly said man 👏👏👏

same bro i wonna go back 😭
Coming back to this after the final trailer yesterday. I really like fuse and ultrahand as a mechanic. I feel like it's their answer to more tedious and grindy crafting systems in other games. Essentially crafting and making weapons and structures is more on the fly and hands on rather than grinding for materials and sitting in a menu for 30 minutes making what you need. Overall it's really creative and I'm so hyped to try everything I can I'm this game.
It's clear that the vehicle building mechanic was inspired by people using balloons in the first game to make things fly, and I love that they ran with it. I can't wait to see all the crazy things people build!
Also, the weapon fusing is wacky and very cool!
don't forget the trick of stacking 2 minecarts and lifting the lower one with magnesis to achieve infinite flight
Or the good old fashioned guardian on a boat go brrr
Lol they designed it with thar intention
The fuse ability is almost like an answer to all those who hated on the weapon durability system so much because when he fused the boulder to the highly damaged stick, it was no longer highly damaged... gotta love the link shrinkray mechanic to fit that boulder on his back! The moment I saw the weapon fuse ability I immediately thought of the smuggle and blss glitches
Reminds me of Scrap Mechanic’s building system, it just gives the same energy.
My dad was the one who introduced me to Zelda. I remember on botw’s release day, he picked me up early from school and gave me his switch to play it in the car. We were both super excited for the game but he let me play first. He passed away a little over a year ago. I wish he could’ve been here to play totk with me. I cant wait to enjoy this game for the both of us
My condolences :(
Im sorry to hear about his loss, sounds like he was a heck of a man.
I wish Etika could've seen this game :/
I’m so sorry 😢
Sad to hear that. I’m much older than you but my own late father loved BOTW. I still find it hard to revisit the game, in fact I’ve only tried to play it once again since he died. But I take strength from the memories of the shared experience. Like in Hyrule, the journey never really ends.
Very smart of them to lean into the stylistic sandbox elements of botw. A great team for sure.
Everyone said it was a shame they didn't have time to lean into the full physics power during development of the first game. It's awesome to see they took it to the limits this time.
my whole life i have been a fan of zelda, now finally i can play another one of nintendos masterpieces, thank you Mr Aonuma.
Wow. They somehow managed to address the two biggest concerns people had with the first game (climbing being boring and durability being eh) without removing them or trivializing the mechanic. Sincerely impressive.
You need a boring mechanic in a game.. It will help you later on in it.. Like in Red Dead Redemption 2 I absolutely hate delivering mail but what it does teach me is timing and how to be efficient.. The boring things teaches you things just in case if you do something real serious in a game you have already mastered the techniques well..
@@kenrickeason he never said they were boring, just not fun
@@EricN64 Is that the same thing?? If it's not fun then most would consider it boring right??
They really said: "We hear you. And we're not gonna backtrack. We're actually gonna expand on it and make it easier without making it the only way."
@@EricN64 'climbing being boring'
The fuse mechanic is just brilliant. And a great compromise to the criticism about damaged weapons
I agree
Definitely sounds like a mechanic made because people didn't like how fragile the weapons were. I didn't mind the weapon breakage concept but it felt like some of the better weapons were made of glass sometimes
Agreed
Yeah I was concerned at first that they hadn't addressed the weapon damage issue but I think the fusion mechanic is sperfect compromise
I am concerned though about the chance of this being more of a requisite than a neat side mechanic. Like if you mostly find junk weapons, and they expect you to merge for decent ones. The enemies all having sticks gives me that impression, but this is probably a very early area.
I'm glad they stuck with the minimal music. A lot of people complained about BotW not having a constant overworld theme, but I think the lack of music really sold the empty post-apocolyptic world, and made the towns feel much more likely because of their music. Since the world is starting to recover, I expect more music, but it sounds like the same small piano cues which I'm completely fine with
Can't believe it's already been this long
The line "I fused a mushroom to my shield!" Is gonna live in my head forever now, thank you Aonuma-San
Let me guess... it's gonna live in your head forever "rent free"?
@ZanFear nah it has to pay but my rates are reasonable and affordable
It's the new "Here's a TV that looks like an apple".
Almost as good as “ I plugged my sandwich into the wall “
Here's a TV that looks like an apple.
I can't imagine how difficult something like the fuse ability would be to program, considering how many options the game gives the player. It's impressive even from a purely technical standpoint, they've clearly done a lot of work on their engine. I was impressed by the very stable-looking performance as well, looked like a pretty fluid 30 fps
Right? There are many opportunities the player can do for crafting materials by fusing any type of objects around them. I find that fusion mechanic is really well improved for the franchise. Not really a fan of Zelda but I'm only getting this game because of the open world formula and the weapon selection. That's why honestly.
I love it
That's why it took so long!
Also the seamless exploration between the surface and the sky, this game is looking to be a technical masterpiece. Just like BotW showed what the switch was capable at launch, TotK will squeeze every drop of the hardware at the end of it's lifespan, I'm excited!
I really need to know the limit
Like how many logs can I stick together
Could I build a bridge with them?
Hope it's not a limit like only 10 things stuck together at a time and let's people go crazy
Wanna see people build things like a log cabin or tower
For me the best part of BotW was just wandering around Hyrule. The movement systems combined with all the ways the game rewarded you for thinking "I wonder what's over there" made it one of (if not the) best games I've ever played for exploration, and it looks like TotK kept all of that and then enhanced it.
I agree.
I am a life long zelda fan so there is that as i would be biased but I have also liked open world games since I was you and have played crap loads.
This was one of the most thought out open worlds I have ever played.
All the environmental story telling and points of interest that just peaked my interest to explore, I was exploring the world for over a month in no rush to complete the game.
Only issue is in retrospective, all there really was to find was a korok or a trash weapon etc.
TotK my interest in exploring is going to be more about returning to the places I know and seeing what has changed.
but it's the same map with tiny new floating blobs added, you can't really explore anymore since much of it is the same or slightly changed
@@huehuehue3376 bruh it is still worth it, and even if you don't like exploring the over world there is still the underground
To me that was the worst part. I don't enjoy walking around grassy fields for hours. I enjoy exploration of the world up to a point, but it just got tedious after a while.
@@mcephas6982 lmao
its been 3 months already? holy crap. i swear i watched this yesterday
I like how they knew freedom was what made Breath of the Wild amazing, and in Tears of the Kingdom, they just expand upon it.
I hope there is no limit to what we can stick together with our "vehicles".
OMG!!!
In my opinion, BOTW had too much freedom. Going somewhere new never felt rewarding because everything was open from the start. If you had to work to get an item to go to a new place, the arrival would be much more satisfying. Not to mention that the things you find around the world are often temporary and lackluster.
@Maria CANCER best of wishes to you ❤🙏
🎉😮😮😮🎉😮😮😮🎉😮😮😮🎉
i'm just imagining how many more years players will take to continue finding new fun things to do in the game until we reach the next one, freaking impressive!

Speedruns of this game are gonna be absolutely bonkers, especially with that ascend ability. If runners in BOTW were able to use stasis and shield riding to bounce across the entire map in seconds its gonna be insane to see how runners use ascend and fuse

Mr. Aonuma is one of few people at current Nintendo that has been - and always will be - truly honest and connected to the fans of his series. A great person just like Satoru Iwata was. It's a bit sad that some times will never come back.
I'm not sure I'll continue being interested in Nintendo games after Aonuma, Miyamoto, Koizumi and Sakurai retire. Their franchises led by younger producers are well-made, but I just don't connect to their games the same way. Nintendo's veteran producers are the heart and soul of the company for me.
Not very honest of them to just be sitting around for 5 years, only showing the most barebones teaser trailers. They were hiding the main idea of the game so that competitors would not get to it.
@@quibquiberton4184 I'm familiar with the other names, but who is Koizumi ? Pardon my ignorance
I don't know about honest, maybe. But as for "fans of his series" this feels more like a game builder than a Zelda game. Maybe they'll show later what long time fans of the franchise have been asking of the first one...
@@panzerdragoon273 the first one was the closest Zelda to what they've wanted to do with the franchise since the first one on NES
I’ve just used half of my annual leave for May. My 10 year old son should have his SATs revision pretty much done by then!! Gonna make meat skewers, baked apples and maybe some “dubious food”. I can’t bloody wait to binge this with him!!!
That’s so cool. Even though you are all grown up, you still find time to play these fun games with your child.
This is the cutest comment I’ve ever seen I wish I had someone to share the experience with! :’)
What a great video! Thanks for sharing it. I can’t wait to see what you post next time! See ya next time
That fuse ability looks like it’ll add so much depth to the combat, and it even kinda helps with the durability system. It’s amazing.
it also gives purpose to the items you hog all through out the game
I wish they'd add the system from Skyward Sword where can repair the shields. Or have the option to do so
@@mixallations maybe you can if you Fuze silent princess or that armor mushroom or something else more fitting I can't think of
@@mixallations It’s basically that but with a near infinite selection of properties and combinations.
I’m absolutely blown away by how similar yet how vastly different Hyrule is - just tonally it is definitely its own thing and I absolutely love it
we haven’t really seen hyrule tho so how would you know what’s different, it looks almost the same
I wouldn't say it's tonally different when they didn't even change the stable music...
@@scootin_nic9505 Look at the terrain while Link is falling. It's vastly different. Not sure what you were looking at.
@@diamondmatter2919why fix perfection
@don Ramón Oficial Same.
I remember being so excited to watch this the next day when it came out and its already 2 months now
this looks pretty awesome, i can't wait!
The way the game has officially fixed the durability system is brilliant. The demonstration was perfect. We all know that infamous “Weapon is low on durability” pop up. We knew it was there. Then the Rock is added to the stick and it lasts longer. This game ROCKS!
Nice word play
Rock and stone brothers
Take all the enchanted swords in your house and Voltron them together into a super-mega-ultra sword!
Did it, though? The root issue with durability is that it compounds the issue that fighting basic enemies is pointless by making it actively detrimental ("break your weapons fighting enemies to take their weapons"). Infinite durability doesn't make it useful to fight anything.
@@xSilentZeroXx This seems a little odd to me. You fight them because they're enemies in a video game that is, in part, about fighting enemies. In my experience, in terms of pure gain, there's very little reason to fight any normal enemy in *any* Zelda game; they might drop a heart, or a rupee, but the rewards are extremely minimal. It's just that the enemies are functioning as a barrier to something you want, e.g., a chest, the entrance/exit, etc. This is just true in general for a lot of games -- what's the point of Mario jumping on a goomba?
Also, enemies in BotW often had materials that might be useful for crafting potions (and apparently, in the sequel, for item modification as well), so I think the "break your weapons fighting enemies to take their weapons" is at least a little reductive.
The amount of customization and creativity potential is insane. So much replay value built in nearly immediately. Speedruns of this game will be mind blowing as well after runners get time with the engine
The ascending ability will be a broken gameplay mechanic I predict
I can’t wait what the speed runs for this game look like they’re gonna be insane! And BOTW1 already has a crazy any%
@@cringecande_9352 yes, but that'll make it great. Here's to a short trip to Ganon😊
I swear someone is eventually going to find out how to fuse the final boss with a stick 💀
Zelda fans that think botw is not a zelda game probably wont play this game
Thanks for the tips and keep up the good work Mr. Aonuma.
This looks like so much fun! Can't wait to explore 😄
It's a masterpiece. It's definitely one of the best games ever :)
Am I the only one that got super hyped when he said that development was complete? Just like the feeling of “oh my god it’s actually done, it’s coming, we’re gonna play that massive game soon”
"am I the only one?" - no, you're never the only one. About anything. Ever.
@@Skype93 Yes it is, it seems
Yes, I was also incredibly happy, but unfortunately, I won't be able to play this masterpiece. And all because I come from a poor family, we just can't afford a console. Hello from Russia
This fusion mechanic has me laughing my head off, especially comically long fork, but this is actually brilliant and a huge step up from BOTW!! I’m so excited to play this game, and to watch how other people play to get even more amazing trick shots and speed run strategies.
skyward sword better
@@ToadetteGamer2watch all the people create the most insane things and then go back to Skyward Sword and see if that’s still better than the freedom this game gives you.
@@MrChipathenIsMyDoggo don’t bother replying to that person. They reply to almost every comment on Nintendo videos trying to get attention.
Does that mean we can fuse the Master Sword with a Zonai Sword of some kind and make the logo?
@@craigdellicarpini772 That does make sense, and sounds awesome.
Mr. Aonuna, I learned English thanks to your game, because I played The Legend of Zelda, a Link to the Past, and thank you for the fantastic moments in my youngest years. すべてに感謝します you are a fantastic person. Greetings from Colombia.
Greatest game ever. Thank you for the best experience, I and so many have had, old and new. To the old, here we go. To the new, welcome, you're going to love it!
Fuse is an absolutely insane ability. No wonder this took 6 years to make.
I see what you did there 😂
As long as the game is a masterpiece i don't care the years it take to make
it takes about 5 months to develop that mechanic.
@@jayandjlps8022 except they have to configure it to combine with tons of objects
@@jayandjlps8022 gamers when they realise making properties for every single object to interact with every other object doesn't take 2 minutes:
The mechanics they've added with Fuse and Ultrahand are truly incredible
@@silvarian For real. Nintendo fans losing their minds about these "new" features that are like 20 years old.
@@functionatthejunctionname any open world game that has a fuse mechanism with rag doll engine
@@functionatthejunction yea, but the fact that gmod was an entire game that was centered around building- makes me, and seemingly many other people excited that we can have the best of both worlds combined, and not sacifice graphics, lore, or just general gameplay. I personally always wanted a combo of Minecraft and zelda botw for Minecraft's creativness and Botws open-world-ness, + all their famous mechanics. For me I always thought Botw was really leading you to one road and one road only, the main story; upgrading gear, completing the occasional side quest, but mostly just driving you to and from the divine beasts before you beat ganon. I stopped playing after I beat the game, as I couldn't really find the motivation to complete all side quests, start speedrunning, buy dlcs(much less actually complete them), start modding, ect. i was only in it for the fight. I might be a lost player but what I took away from the gmod feature was a creative outlet to fill the gap of things I can trust to keep me busy after or during the game.
TL;DR: Botw was temporary to me because I had not much to do after all the action, yet I keep playing a "childish" game like minecraft because the good, dopamine seeking discoveries you can find in that game are endless. Interpret that how you will.
Just cause 4???
i hate nintendo fans
I am so incredibly excited
Zelda Tears of the Kingdom looks amazing! So many endless gameplay possibilities 👏👏👏👏😊
Who saw the Zelda franchise turning into the best physics simulator game? Not me, but I'm into it
I don't understand quantum physics
haha best physics simulator... Link dives into a stream from the heavens and plops down gently like a pebble 11:44
don't get me wrong, looks fun tho
@@faroffspring2430 but you gotta admit those water animations are TOP TIER... I never have seen a game that is more detailed than that...
@@erickreyes7902 yeah it looks/feels nice, especially for the hardware it's on.
The physics system in the original game was good but felt underutilized. The new game is using it in ways I couldn't even imagine!
11:47 can we just acknowledge how cool it was that they even accounted for how big the splash should be, and that they even made the splash drops rain back down
tbf the drop would have flattened a tank but still cool
But link has a lower terminal velocity than a tank plus he landed on water. It would probably still hurt but I guess link has super strength.
@@SuperJeyms Actually Link would have a higher terminal velocity than a tank. . Terminal velocity is the maximum velocity an object can reach while falling through a fluid/gas, such as air. The larger surface area and different shape of a tank would cause it to reach a lower terminal velocity than a human, especially if the human dives like Link here
Both a tank and a human will fall at the same rate in a vacuum. This is due to the fact that the acceleration due to gravity is constant for all objects regardless of their mass, shape or size. This acceleration is approximately 9.81 meters per second squared (m/s²) near the Earth's surface.
due the surface tension of the water, link would pretty much get the same effect as landing on solid ground
Funfact: Even a beam of light would fall at the same speed as everything else in a vacuum, you can see it bending around planets during a eclipse
@@SuperJeyms While he would definitely die, the game is more fun if it isnt 100% realistic^^
@@BenjoCovers Right, like...he just fell off a floating island in the sky. 100% realism is out the window anyhow.
This looks absolutely amazing
This looks soooo awesome I can't wait to get it!!!!
I love that the lifting ability is called Ultrahand. It's named after one of Nintendo's old toys! Good reference!
which one, the Power Glove?
@@biomutarist6832 No, it was literally called the ultra-hand, and it was a product made exclusively for the Japanese toy market back before Nintendo pivoted to video games. It was an accordioning pincer-claw thing that you could use to grab stuff from far away.
As others have said, it's a little extending toy. You can actually see Harmony playing with one in Hotlantis in Splatoon 3 on occasion.
@@pennyfarting ohh that's so cool
@@biomutarist6832
It's also in Mario Kart 8, in GBA Mario Circuit. It supports the antigravity section of the track.
It feels like they’re expanding on what Zelda FELT like to me as a kid: endless possibilities, experimentation, and imagination. We still know next to nothing about the structure of the game but the Fuse ability has my mind racing like I’m in elementary school again, dreaming about the things I can try in Wind Waker when I get home and finish my homework.
It's amazing how everyone forgets how groundbreaking and generation-defining (and just plain fun) Zelda games are until the next one comes out!
Right?? As a kid when I saw OOT on the N64 I thought that was cool how you could ride around the map on Epona but I was a little disappointed when I grew up and played it finally. BOTW was exactly like that expectation I had and it was a dream come true. Now I'm just so thrilled to see TOTK and how far the Zelda gameplay has come. Can't wait to play!
its just a botw dlc
Zelda was never like that lmao
@@bsame k
I love that you can be more creative with how you interact with the world! It gives you even more freedom to problem solve!! So excited for this game in one week!!!
This game looks so great, I can't wait to play it.
the fact that you dont need any tool to combine weapons and objects together and you can do it real time without any extra menu to popup is fantastic In terms of ux and gameplay designing !
I didn't think they would be able to make more abilities that would fix so many of the previous games problems; weapon durability, climbing high areas with ascend, even MORE creativity with fighting enemies instead of just weapons, this game really looks incredible.
You have to remember that BOTW was meant to serve as a new foundation for Zelda going forward so they weren't going to get everything right from the get go.
This looks to be a more refined experience.
They did not fix weapon durability they still break lol
@@teodorcaraba979 Its a feature, so you can't just find an OP weapon and abuse it.
@@teodorcaraba979 wtf bro
@@teodorcaraba979 Not if it’s fused with a more durable material/ weapon…
This is easily one of the coolest games I've been hyped for. This just made it a must have.
These features are absolutely amazing they have out done themselves 😮
The thought of how much time and effort it must have taken to flesh out the fusion mechanic is awe-inspiring.
yes, to make every single fusion weapon design, thats a big effort!
instead of making a new map
@@baileycw15 And you still would've complained about the new map.
@@eddiew.4650 pretend you know me lol
@@baileycw15 Anyone who played the first one can tell you, that ain't the same map. Like, if you look at the twin peaks from the start of the view. it is in a completely different locale than where its suppose to be. There aren't cliffs to the left of it, its suppose to be a massive wetland. The Zora Domain doesn't even seem to be beyond those same cliffs either.
