crying ass kingdom

lets be clear despite my skepticism i will be buying this the weekend it comes out and playing for like 20 hours before i look online

tears as in crying or tears as in rips in the fabric of reality. much to think about!!

i hope the tears in the kingdom can be repaired. probably several ancillary tears and then one major rip near the middle, right through hyrule castle

xp it's definitely tears in the fabric of reality. also tears in link's tunic

That was supposed to start at 2:56

More like Tiers of the Kingdom, right?

nintendo said its crying, the kingdom is crying, sad

In the name of the Goddess Crylia, I bestow upon you this Spirit Orbison.

fp me

lol

I was gifted a Switch and hadn't really gamed since I was a kid. This will be the first new game that I've been excited about since... the Mario game where he can turn into a raccoon? Or something?

I'm in the second phase of the Master Sword trials and digging it. Can't wait for this!!!

gamers are freaking out that nintendo isnt providing them with the customary level of marketing for this game lol

as long as the pre-order hits on 5/12, why complain?

it might just be the youtubers who rely on that stuff for c0ntent

yeah the guys who make like 2 hour videos breaking down a 1 min trailer

that said,

Join The Legend of #Zelda series producer, Eiji Aonuma, for roughly 10 minutes of gameplay from The Legend of Zelda: #TearsOfTheKingdom on 3/28 at 7:00 a.m. PT on our YouTube channel.

10 minutes of the cooking song

lol

yeah the guys who make like 2 hour videos breaking down a 1 min trailer

10 minutes of demo = 20 hour breakdown video

cant wait to do things by thinking whats even possible

it looks sick

ULTRAHAND

i'm excited

also i loled when "Your Tree Branch is badly damaged" popped up

kinda wish i hadn't watched this, gonna be very impatient to get these abilities during the obligatory tutorial section lol

the only limit is your imagination how quickly you'll get fired for not showing up

finally a killer app for keese eyeballs

nintendo saw ppl making flying machines and riding launched tree trunks and were like oh this is what you sickos like ok

i love the idea to make the monster parts actually useful for a reason besides exchanging for fun bokoblin masks

yeah would be cool if the items in general are more useful and varied

sadly its not what i like doing myself in games even if the vids are cool

you don't like to ascend?

i've only just gotten to rito village, can i watch this overview without having anything being spoiled?

ya it doesnt really reference botw at all

seems like with the new powers the game will be pretty puzzley but not with just one or even a set number of solutions which is cool and unusual imo

I need to get back on the Master Sword quest. I managed to make it to the very end and oooooh shit nonono did not allocate my resources very well.

Can’t wait for this, so stoked.

idk i would contend that a puzzle without a fixed solution or number of solutions is an obstacle, not a puzzle

its a puzzling distinction

tip re the trial of the master sword in the final trials theres nine ancient arrows three chests of three and finding them all makes it much easier

I paid zero attention to video games for decades and only got into BOTW about a year ago so this pre-release hype is all new to me.

I'm assuming there will be a shitload of people sprinting to finish the game ASAP for internet glory? How long would something like that take to do?

i mean i'm sure at least one person will but these games are open and dont have much story to spoil so people will take their time

Totk truly Puzz3D to BotW's jigsaw

is this game looking to be more like a big DLC or more like a majora's mask

the latter imo

did botw have a long game-spanning sidequest chain i forget. if not they need to bring that back

captured memories, kind of

thats the main story isnt it?

i think tarrey town probably counts

i hope you can build more new towns in this i hope its kind of like sim city

xp yeah you're prob right

i should play some botw ahead of this coming out

dont think ive touched it since 2017 honestly, despite never finishing it. i think thats fine tho

i tried and failed several times to do the trials to get the motorcycle, that was probably the last thing i did on it

sad for you guys that you never got to ride the motorcycle that you never got to gas it up with raw meat

not being able to save during it is what made it frustrating

i got the link motorcycle on mario kart, basically the same thing

ascend power looks pretty goofy

they had to do something about the climbing raining situation

maybe they took out rain entirely but the catch is that hyrule slowly becomes an arid wasteland

maybe i'll understand the point of the mechanic better when i play it but i have to imagine there was a better solution for getting on top of stuff in a game largely about exploration than to slowly warp through the ceiling. odd choice for a feature to highlight. why not just bring back the grappling hook thing

maybe link is dead and is a ghost now and that's why he can gloop through ceilings

Homing eyeballs! This looks wicked.

Okay I was gonna defend Ascend. Then I saw someone say it was created because people thought climbing was boring. Climbing was my clear favorite part of BOTW. Never Ascend.

Link can Onionhead through the ceiling because he is green

they had to do something about the climbing raining situation

no this is part of the beauty of climbing, it's like life, goals that seem achievable and then slip out of reach, or vice versa

If Nintendo based new features off of BotW videos, there will be some serious sicko shit with the Yiga Clan

i'm ok with ascend but they really need to rework it so that it's explicitly a zonai hookshot

xp featuring lots of mighty bananas hopefully

Climbing that first tower was so satisfying.

Watched this with the kid earlier and he pointed out it had been uploaded 4 hours earlier and there was already a 2 hour long response video

Also rain climbing sucks so much, I keep thinking there would be some element of clothing or recipe that let you climb in the rain but fuck no

Speaking of towers, I assume sheika towers wont be the way maps unlock in this, given that's happened already. Unless this is set before BoTW... still isnt clear on that. The reverseo-chango skill has me wondering.

you can see towers in the background of that video theyre different towers tho

Ah I should rewatch it hah.

gotta watch the two hour youtube really get into it

I think, most of all, I shall want to Fuse a poe soul to my wooden boy

Most maddening BOTW element is accidentally crouching when I'm panicky and trying to run from something horrible
