The February 2023 Nintendo Direct lastly dropped the greatest trailer thus far, whereas we STILL have NO clue what the recreation is definitely about, they not less than confirmed far more of Hyrule on this trailer than some other trailer thus far. So, let’s return shot by shot, and break down every part we see right here in the upcoming Tears of the Kingdom.
The first photographs begin off pretty sluggish, solely displaying us a pair new issues. This angle dealing with Death Mountain from Mabe prairie reveals extra spiral patterns on the floor that we’ve seen in earlier trailers. The lightning additionally has a slight inexperienced tinge, normally lightning has a extra of an off white-ish colour in Breath of the Wild so this will not be a traditional thunderstorm. Throughout the trailer there are dozens of examples of unusual boulders, piles of malice, and new buildings that repeat themselves, so I received’t go an excessive amount of into it since we already know the land of Hyrule has modified fairly a bit.
The navy coaching camp subsequent to Korok forest, with out the Sheikah tower, is now infested with the new longhorn bokoblins, and a brand new flying enemy sort seen in a earlier trailer as nicely. Previously considered Kargaroks, these appear to be fully new enemies. Since they appear to be plentiful in Hyrule by the quantity of instances they present up on this trailer, they’re more likely to be our new frequent annoyance whereas touring downwards or upwards, and we’ll doubtless get into heaps of aerial fight with them.
The space between Tabantha and Hebra vary is proven subsequent, with two shining towers hooked up with spotlights. We additionally get a more in-depth look of a circling storm surrounding Hebra Peak. With one other floor design seen once more from earlier trailers, the goal for all of these nonetheless goes unexplained. Do remember these tower’s shapes and colours although, as a result of you will note them once more later in the video. One factor to level out is that Vah Medoh is lacking from its perch right here above Rito Village, and we nonetheless don’t know what occurred to the Divine Beasts.
It begins to select up a bit right here, as we get to see some unusual floor formations which might be fully distinctive from Breath of the Wild. Besides this sq. platform right here, and the floor image from the earlier shot, you may see this construction North of Gisa Crater sitting on high of Cuho Mountain with a middle and sections that jut out in numerous instructions. This is attention-grabbing as a result of that is the largest new construction we’ve seen on the floor flooring to this point.
This is when it begins to get attention-grabbing. With each trailer underground exploration turned teased increasingly more, and now it’s a confirmed actuality. In this shot we see a Longhorn Bokoblin with a backpack and rock hammer chipping away at an everyday ore. While we are able to’t see upwards to verify the cavern ceiling, you may just about verify it from the background audio right here, which has reverb to match its cave setting, which can be a brand new addition audio clever since even Breath of the Wild’s underground location didn’t account for this sort of audio. You can even see Longhorn Lilzalfos geared up with throwing spears and Lizal Bows, and coated in rising malice, doubtless all empowered by the new villain. There are additionally new po ols of malice that line the floor as nicely. Besides the new vegetation and alien trying timber in the background, blue fireplace dots the floor to the proper facet. These will-o-wisp sort fires might presumably be Poe, however are extra doubtless one thing seen earlier than in Twilight Princess, souls as seen in the Twilight Realm. We have seen a number of Twilight references together with Skyward references in earlier trailers, so we’ll see how this all connects.
