#so uh. new totk trailer. ok.

[waywardsalt]

the oracle of seasons manga is also a step up from the oot manga, but not as good as four swords. it’s... average? granted i never played oracle of seasons (or ages) and it’s not bad but it’s not great, either. it doesn’t really do anything wrong but as far as i can tell nothing they do or add to the story is all that great. the only exception is the stuff with link joining the performers; that was actually an interesting section of the manga.

[oolathurman]

so uhh that was the first watch through, let's go over it again

enemies can interact with each other and the environment

still convinced that ganondorf somehow corrupted that arm of link's.

the large chalk drawings on the ground i love them they're SO gonna be puzzles

ok the spotlights seem to be in multiple locations so i'm betting it's for like. wayfinding purposes when you're in the air.

i wonder how long after botw this takes place?

seeing encampments near hyrule castle is so cool tho ahhh ARE WE BUILDING UP AN ARMY????

CUZ CLEARLY WE CAN FIGHT WITH NPCS PROPERLY NOW

giant cloud in the sky five bucks says it's also related to skyward sword shit

i should. probably finish skyward sword huh i never did whoops.

i got close!!!!

the way music is reversed and shit. while ganon's music is cued. mm.

like i know we saw evidence of the zonai last trailer but i'm still seeing traces of twilight princess. such as in this music.

ok so you can't see it very clearly in just a screenshot but

one arm is like. corrupted compared to the right. or the arms different at least.

this continues my theory that ganondorf corrupted link's arm

if he didn't i will eat my shoe

still fucking horny for ganondorf

OK YEAH LINK'S RIGHT ARM IS CORRUPTED IN THE NEXT CLIP, IN THE SCREENSHOT, IN THE SCREENSHOT ABOVE GANON'S ARMS ARE NOT PROPORTIONAL TO EACH OTHER

TELL ME THAT THEY DIDN'T SWITCH ARMS OR SOME SHIT

TELL ME TO MY FUCKING FACE

what is this SPARKLING that zelda's doing as she's falling

it's clearly related to the piece of amber or whatever it is she holds later in the trailer

i love the addition of quicksand in totk it's so 90s to have quicksand everywhere

this underground area where link's wearing the goron armor tho

it's not goron built, the architecture is different and i KNOW nintendo puts careful thought into that shit

but it's underground or otherwise not receiving natural sunlight

is this the temple in the ravine??? the forgotten temple or whatever????

AIRSHIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

[cues mission impossible music]

heehee poncho boy

yeah you can def fight with villager and npcs now and i like that link's learned how to do the spinning spear trick that the bokoblins used in the previous game! that's such a fun touch

if this dragony npc is a zonai by god we are gonna introduce so much more furry bait into the fandom (i say this with amused positivity)

well we're getting so much more furry bait already with their existence but shhh

the tear shapes that they have under their eyes are the same as zelda's WHAT IS THIS. IT HAS TO DO WITH SHEIKAH RIGHT? SHEIKAH ARE THE ONES WITH THE CRYING EYE MOTIF. WHAT DO ZONAI HAVE TO DO WITH SHEIKAH.

wait a second i'm remembering this like. weird conspiracy theory i had when i played oot where a sect of separate sheikah who defected from hyrule were like. corrupted by magic and shit. i suppose i forgot bc it's been uhhh ten plus years but uh

eyes emoji

wait a second what's the zonai theory anyway

bc if my old conspiracy theory lines up with zonai then that means i came up with the zonai theory separately and--

well anyway

what is this script that's being used on the gears and walls in this next scene. it's a new language/script. it's not sheikah, it's not hylian. what is it. is it zonai as well. idr if the twili had a script.

KOROK BABIES IN THE BACKGROUND, ALWAYS THERE FOR LINK, THE HERO. ;U;

ugh the way this unseen npc dresses reminds me so much of. shit what's his face. the other twili person that isn't midna. him. the weirdo. i guess it's just how the clothes drape but i have so much thread on this spool for the conspiracy theory board ok.

that amber i talked about is around her neck THAT AMBER IS AROUND HER NECK also girl cute earrings!!!!

i will say that seeing link using magic 2 part epoxy to glue a shield to a sword is fucking hilarious.

does anyone recognize this rito from the previous game

was she(?) the (modern) champion's daughter or smth idr

HOW MANY YEARS HAVE PASSED

the corruption has spread to mount doom you KNOW this is gonna be a main quest

obsessed with this look yas girl oh my god i just noticed the additional ear piercings I LOVE IT

new 'hit the eyes' boss revealed in the thunder cloud

oh wait the arms thing was a torn sleeve

i mean we still see ganon corrupting link's arm but also i wanna see more of like how it connects

still horny for ganondorf

can someone give zelda a goddamn break like just fucking let her be with her gnc boyfriend already

[skiddo-xy]

TOTK TRAILER #3 OBSERVATIONS+TAKEAWAYS

much to unpack. in the order that they appear in the video btw.

enemies fighting each other. wonder if that'll actually make it in game. unless the one on the right is a non-hositle npc.

aw they're chopping up wood

link is flying HEAD-FIRST....unmatched bravery (and also aerodynamics??? the ease he goes from head-first to stomach-first to paragliding is commendable)

that one geolyph looks like half of the snake in the logo HMMM

MAIN THEME AGAIN!!!! WE ARE GTETTING A MORE TRADITIONAL GAME!!!

there is light coming out of the ground.

cute little storm cloud i bet that's for a daily/weekly/whatever-loy event

is that the dye shop looking fancier???

millitary camp also hyrule castle town is not restored yet :(

that vertical stone donut in kakariko village was DEFINITELY not there before okay so some zonai stuff went straight down to the ground and some stayed in the air was it like precipitation except they all froze midair???

what is that hurricane please tell me that's a mountain

castle emerging in gerudo ohohoh

his hair looks like candy worms you get for hallowe'en

zelda's sheikah slate glows as she's falling?

that loooks liek a hot dungeon link is going through

SANDSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! except it's flying

floating water you can stay inside that also looks like an eyeball aw

link is getting past lasers is he breaking in somewhere to steal?

those eyeballs from before look like they're in a gumball machine what

IS THERE A NEW MAZE??? low-key didn't like the mazes from botw or uh my bad "labyrinths" but i hope this one is nice (except i LOVED how it was beneath that one maze with the guardians and all)

that is a long spear. also zonai i think.

are those bokoblins wearing zonai helms?

the farmers are fighting too???

love the mysterious music

who is that again? was that the one zelda thing in that fanart

the flowers are so pretty

OH??? SOMETHING IS EMERGING from a wall that can't be good

okay so link still has his champion's tunic that's good

the castle is so pretty!!!

what temple needs those gears and who is that

so there was that one fanart with zelda like that but then who was that other person we saw earlier i'm sooo confused

huge earrings

the bird is like a loftwing and i like that

the orb with a hole in it also reminds me of skyward sword

now THESE are boss fights!!!! more traditional zelda game <3 <3 <3

i dod not have the reflexes to use that stasis thing fast enough.

rocket lol p.s tell me those monsters did not overtake lurelin village.

low gravity is so cute

did link attatch a red rupee to that arrow. form looks a little off but anywasy lol

that laser thing looks srious business

SNOW MONSTER!!! UH OH!!!

that thing in zelda's hand looks like that amber from skyward sword must be reeeeeeally old

that lynel must look older

oh so that poisoning or whatever was caused by ganon

not surprised that ganondorf is here because i saw him on an instagram post from the nintendo account but anyways he sort of looks like wind waker/twilight princess ganondorf doesn't he

two piercings in each ear side by side! fashion icon

who is THAT i'm losing track

riju!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fighting with sidon i see i see ok ok

link's facial expression...i've never quite seen it

THREE HEADED DRAGON AREW YOU SERIOUS
