Available May 12th on Nintendo Switch
I know it's been a couple days. I was trying to think of how I wanted to give my thoughts on one of my favorite game franchises of all time and their latest game due out very soon. At first, I thought maybe I should do a breakdown, but that isn't like me and I would probably miss some stuff. Then it hit me, just do a post highlighting the things you are looking forward to. That is exactly what I aim to do with today's post. Let's take a look at some of the things I found interesting with the final Tears of the Kingdom trailer.
The Atmosphere
The first thing that I noticed was the atmosphere. Yes, they are using the same assets. Yes, it's the same art style. But there is just something about the way the game looks and the way that music is used in the trailer that makes it feel like the next chapter and not the same exact experience that came before. The scenes with Hylians trying to restore Hyrule to its former glory as Link walks or runs through the locations were a nice touch. It was also nice seeing Prince Sidon, Gerudo Chief Riju, and Tulin in the trailer. Here's hoping we do get to play with them or at the very least they accompany Link during the game at different points.
Mech Battles?
So if you watched the 13-minute presentation from a couple weeks ago, you already know that fusing will be important in this game. In the trailer, there is a short snippet of a Link fused "mech" vs a Stone Talus fused with a Bokoblin Stand. It looked weird but also like it could be a lot of fun depending on how the Ultrahand ability is used and what could be created. I am sure I am not the only one looking forward to having something like that happen in the game.
Who Is That
There was also a look at a couple new characters. One looks strangely like Vaati and another character who I am sure will probably wind up being the most cosplayed Zelda character of all time. Granted we don't get to see them long in the trailer maybe a couple seconds at most but it was long enough for people to get a good enough look at them. Also, like in Breath of the Wild with the return of Lynels, it looks like we have the return of the three-headed dragon Gleeok. This is going to be fun, to say the least.
The Return of Ganondorf Dragmire and .........
Yes, Demise is confirmed. Ganondorf is also back and is fully voiced. Ever since Wind Waker I have liked what they did with Ganondorf. Now that Demise is back I am wondering if Ganondorf is the red herring and if Demise will be the villain going forward in the Zelda games. I am hoping that it takes Ganondorf, Zelda, and Link to take down Demise as they are each a representative of the Triforce. Demise is an interesting character that I think should be the main villain going forward as that makes the most sense to me. This was my favorite part of the trailer, in all honesty.
Overall
I don't see how anyone isn't hyped for this game after that trailer. Almost four whole minutes of Zelda greatness. The game launches on May 12, 2023. I have mine preordered as well as the Link amiibo too. Are you looking forward to Tears of the Kingdom? Leave a comment and let's talk about it.
