I really wonder what the limits are with that Fuse ability. I want to kill Ganon wielding an entire lemonade stand I built myself.
I wager that the weapon fusing is going to limited to two (though I suppose it's possible that it's actually a "base" weapon that you can switch the secondary part of as it gets damaged). The number of permutations involved of fusing more than two weapons at a time would just be too much to expect. As far as the Ultrahand, however, it looks like those can get to be VERY complex.
As long as I can fuse a cucco to my shield I'm happy
@@YurimoHikashi Wait... if we can Fuse Cuccos... we could make a Staff of The Cucco God. Think about it. You're not damaging the Cucco. It gets damaged when it hits the enemy. You could literally make a Cucco Staff designed to summon a Giant Cucco on your enemy (or a massive swarm of Cuccos, depending on which version of Cucco Summoning they go with). Now I want Cucco Fusing to be a thing!
in botw, you can wield a chainsaw. in totk, you can wield a Double Chainsaw
Maybe you can fuse a mop onto the Master Sword.
the phrase 'I fused a mushroom to my shield' is such a powerful one.
XD Truly so
11:51 YOU CAN LITERALLY SEE THE WATER FALLING LIKE IT'S RAINING THIS LOOKS SO GOOD
I swear, its the little details like this that make a great game perfect.
That's really awesome detailing
Imagine Nintendo actually made their consoles powerful
Looks the same as BOTW lol
@Ryan Jackson the words of someone who never played BOTW
The speedrunning potential of this game is going to be absurd with fuse and ultrahand, I can't wait to see how people will go about it
make a missile that one shots gannon
If bomb runes aren’t in the game, and you can finish the game immediately after the tutorial like the first game, btb might be the best option for a while I’d think, assuming that part of the physics still works
Homie, you're ignoring the path glitching potential of ascend. Get me lower than any location on the map I'm trying to get to and under a ceiling, bada bing bada boom, teleportation
Imagine you have a big flying machine and it’s just a raft but with 100 fans
1 week into the game. Streamers: "By fusing this with this, drop it then pick it up on top of the horse combined with the flying machine you can hyperspeed across the land as well as do infinite damage as long as you're holding the picked-up weapon."
They took clipping through the terrain and made it an actual ability in Link's moveset, the Zelda team is on some serious 500 IQ crap I swear.
It's not a bug It's a feature
I swear, if they make windbombing an actual strat...
@@TornaitSuperBird No bomb rune so
Right? They saw how people were breaking/exploiting the game, and worked with that. They understood exactly what we wanted, even i we didn't realize it ourselves.
@@Uncreative_Username you mean yourself who didn't get mine? That's a weird way to put up yourself like that mate
The team saw how people just broke BotW and decided 'you know what, lets give them the tools to break the game even harder, and they won't even need to glitch anything to do so!'. Fuse alone is a big game changer; it seems like fusing straight up "repairs" your weapon since technically, it creates an all new one.
I know one of my main objectives will be to research how many things can be attatched to a long stick.
@@JonatanEA thats the first thing i thought of, how long can you make it?
Ima try to make the longest stick possible
@@Plushiee-ku9vg Same I will be the lord of all sticks !
The fact that there's coordinates displayed on screen is HUGE. Now when you hunt for the new batch of 9,999 korok seeds, you can find their exact location on a guide.
9 thousand.... Ninety nine?
Note that it could be a feature of a developer build. But who knows, it truly could be in the final product.
With this game your first inclination is to cheat and use a guide?! I’m not watching videos or guides until I complete it for the second play through so I can experience this masterpiece organically.
@@jeffreymedeiros6253 You expect people to find all the Korok seeds without a guide?
@@Otaku03494 - yeah, west the mask and explore. I didnt take the mask off for several hundred hours
You could fuse a puff shroom to an arrow and essentially throw smoke bombs from a hundred feet away
I had the exact same thought. Smokescreen arrow.
Imagine that with a 5 shot bow
@@nikvett at that point even link would be blinded 💀
@@ishansoni1857 the element of surprise
Imagine a multi-player home-made vehicle race. The Fuse ability looks really cool. There are almost infinite possibilities with it.
On the contrary, I felt like the possibilities are far too limited for how such an ability should be. Seems like it only allowing one fused part at a time? In other words only squaring the number of weapons, and most of them is unlikely to be very interesting combinations (there is an argument for populating a game with few weapons, but have each be thought-out with a clear design-decision behind it - rather than have loads of different, but functionally identical, weapons with a few thought-out ones hidden in the large set of possible combinations/locations etc.) As for the construction ability, feels like they just padded the skill-list with a branch of what should already have been part of the fuse ability (so noone complains about the removed ones from last game when having too few abilities). And even this branch is less interesting than one would have hoped, as it is literally only the weld-tool (from gmod). No axis/rope/motor tool or other interesting constraints to create some dynamic behaviours. Add to that how wonky the phys-gun seemed to work, and the lack of a spawn-menu... Though the biggest issue with maximizing its potential however, is clearly the lack of some equivalent to wiremod. It did have activate-able things such as thrusters, but from what was shown I don't see a way to "program", much less program, your contraptions. All that said though, I am still rather hype. Even if the abilities were lackluster compared to botw, the game is still likely to be really fun.
@@feha92 yeah it feels like it’s too limited, but maybe we are wrong
@@feha92 Wait, did he mention that there can only be two types of items at once for Fuse? Dang, I wanted to build a house...
@@Atomosphere No, but it appeared like it weren't fusing more than 1 thing at a time. Either way, I would have been surprised if you could fuse a house onto your sword, considering quest givers tend to need to use those things. You might be able to build a house with the contraption ability instead, though yeah, you won't be able to attack people using it.
@feha92 That's 100% fair. Having multiple objects for a weapon would be a nightmare to balance. I guess I'll have to wait for mods so I can run up to someone and crush them with a house. I guess, for now, I can just construct a stationary, non-weapon house with the contraption ability...
I love that it's like Skyward but seamless, no loading, no disconnect between upper and lower worlds and such. Can't wait.
I was worried that the scope of the game wouldn't be big enough, since people are still discovering new secrets in BotW six years later. But the Fuse ability alone will keep Tears of the Kingdom relevant AT LEAST a decade from now.
Fuse seems fairly simple for the most part. Every combination was definitely tested in advance to prevent the game from breaking in half. Ultrahand on the other ultrahand…
@@thevioletbee5879 nice
@@thevioletbee5879 "on the other ultrahand" 😂
@@musicaldoodles9615 why is this killing me
@@thevioletbee5879 master sword fused with wooden spoon
I don't know why the sight of Link running around a swinging a boulder on a tree branch is so funny to me. It's just the boulder shrunken down, but the fact that the shrinkage is probably just to make it so that it isn't clipping through the ground as Link stands makes me think that it really should be full size. Same with the log.
"I fused a mushroom to my shield." "Why?" That was funnier they it should have been.
Little detail. In BotW the weather UI had a sun to represent if it’s a clear day. The sun had 6 circles around a big circle in the center. In TotK if you look at the sun icon, it has 8 circles surrounding a center circle now. Pretty neat how they subtly changed the UI.
They also changed the autosave slightly, but you can't see it because pointcrows camera is in the way.
@@LONELYL0SER and the Text and outlines are white instead of blue now. And there’s lore behind it. Lose the Shiekah slate and you also lose the sci-fi tech neon blue.
In general, it just looks a bit sleeker. You can see the temperature gauge now flashes red when it's too cold
@@pichuis yep
I love when games update their UI to look more sleek. GOW Ragnarok’s UI change is one of my favorite UIs just because of how good it looks.
Imagine rolling up to Ganondorf/Demise with a freaking homemade gundam and pocket flamethrower! I was already looking forward to the game, but Fuse & Ultrahand alone have completely revitalized my excitement!
Then launching your meat arrows on their faces!
I wonder if the meat arrow is used as a bait for enemies
genius comment
@@pelekinesis1337 sorry if that's was an obvious answer. 🧝♂️🗡️🔰🛡️🏹✨🪄
I sure hope so. In BOTW i have tried to set up bait for Golden Bokoblins many times, but it's a pain not being able to actually throw the meat in their direction and being limited to putting it in front of you
@@gabrielguedes1910 im pretty sure u can use down on the d pad or sth and throw stuff further away? idk exactly i havent played in a second but im p sure theres some mechanic like that
@@user-ze7sj4qy6q yes you are right, I forgot about that; you can indeed do that, but even then the distance is somewhat limited. I can't imagine how crazy things will be with a meat arrow lol
Meat arrows are already officially a meme! Almost ever reaction video I’ve watched has ,entire day them lol! Love it!
The meatrun any% gave me a chuckle
I love the fuse ability, imagine all the different weapon combos. Takes collector’s anxiety to a whole other level…
This trailer has a lot in common with Flex Seal infomercials. "I fused this mushroom to my shield." "I sawed this boat in half" Then two hastily put together boats with fans on the water
I wonder if you fuse an arrow and a guardian core, does that let you fire a guardian laser?
the real question is, are guardians still around? cuz apparently some decayed guardians aren't at their spots anymore. And since Link doesn't have the sheikah slate anymore, i personally assume that all the sheikah stuff were replaced by zonai stuff for totk
Or even better, could you mount a guardian laser onto a car?
Maybe you just shoot a straight up nuke
I dont guardians exist anymore
The guardians were most likely all deactivated or destroyed
you already know they are gonna glitch the hell out of the rewind ability
Imagine the final boss just chilling and you fly in with a plane
8:59 you can get a steering wheel that seems to allow you to control your contraptions we see it on the car and the flying vehicle in the photos
Yeah I also noticed that, I suppose you cannot find those easily tho
The ability is called "Recall". You are rewinding an objects movement. Its not really reversing time. Its as if every object that moves in the game is being recorded like a VCR by the game's engine and you can, in real time, rewind it.
Fivehead theory is that whatever attack from Ganon that took out Link's arm also broke the master sword, and you'll have to use the Fuse ability to put it back together again.
you were... almost totally correct
@@icarostrogonoff I'm kind of a genius
Am I the only one Who wants to genuinely get a Switch just for this Game? It's so good already lmfao
i got a switch for BOTW and as soon as i get the money, im gonna pick up this game. i genuinely cant wait
I got it for the last game
I already have one but if I didn't absolutely
It's been 6 years, the list of people who are getting a switch solely for this game is gonna be small.
If you decide to get it, I’m sure your gonna love this game and much more bc it has such a good line up of games.
This is going to be 10x more broken than BotW and I'm here for it
His look of surprise on his face at 3:55 is hilarious.
he went 🗿
I'm so thankful for this video. I saw pointcrow was live reacting to the trailer, but I couldn't be there. now this summary is just awesome
im currently saving to buy this game, and funnily enough it drops on my birthday so i couldn't be more hyped
Ah, so your bday is the day after mine! Happy early bday, birthday neighbor!
I just noticed that link's design here is awfully similar to the one we are shown when the king is telling us about the knight and the princess that defeated Ganon 100 years ago
Wait... YEA YOURE RIGHT WTH
Fusion looks sick it reminds me of how an open world little big planet might be
Dude little big planet was such a good game, an open world version of it would be sick
I can't believe I'm saying this, but a Battle Royale mode with this map and these mechanics would unironically be sick.
If there isn’t a Battle Royal mode, people will make multiplayer and do Battle Royales themselves
Nah. Breath of the Wild's combat system would translate poorly into competitive multi-player. It would run into the same problem as the Punch Out remake for the Wii where the first person who attacks loses because of the Flurry Rush mechanic.
This is by far the best reaction to this trailer out there.
Check out DeeBeeGeek, he has really good reactions too.
Imagine if you could fuse Cuccoo with your shield. EVERYONE would be nervously sweating, even the player because they are now reported to peta
sadly you can't fuse living things :( imagine if you could fuse A KOROK TO YOUR SHIELD
I love how they just gave Link Crazy Diamond like we wouldn’t notice
5:39 I think that a meat arrow would do large knock back, doing more knockback with the better the meat
bro the creativity from the team in making these new abilities is genuinely incredible, can't wait to play thi sgame
the gameplay/combat potential alone is gonna be insane. well worth the wait
I agree
Not Eric saying Sidon car is real 😭😭
It's like the enemies of the first game watched the botw speedrun and had to rethink their strategies
7:49 this ability really reminds me of the physics gun from Garry's Mod
I love your energy and enthusiasm in all of this! I am seriously considering buying a Switch for first time just to get this game!
Yoooo @PointCrow...... the entire time I watched this trailer, I was thinking about you and your vids lol. I knew you'd love this and the ultrahand / fuse mechanics. My body is ready for some speed run and goofy glitch vids!
My guess with the meat arrow would be a kind of lure/decoy arrow, where the enemy is lured toward the spot you shoot the arrow at. Would make for some really interesting stealth strats!
The Fuse ability is probably why the Master Sword is broken... It'll need to be fused together with something else.
It needs to be fused to a sword of great magic that cant be wielded. Great magic + Sword that is an empty shell, devoid of magic = Better sword, magic and durability
I wanted to buy a switch to prepare for Totk back in 2021 and fortunately the OLED came out so I bought the OLED when it released. It's been 2 years and I've been waiting for this moment
I will freeze myself, wake me up when the game releases
Okay. (places a white chu jelly in front of you) Just hit this.
I remember a lot of people before this gameplay saying that it "looked the same"... That "looked" didn't last long.
they keep saying tho. people want the full game to be spoiled before even launch
nah they still saying it. but they've been saying "[previous game] 1.5" about just about every nintendo sequel since 2017 so we pay their downplaying jealous asses no mind.
@@zammich3649 i remember when people called smash ult "smash 4 deluxe" or "smash 4 1.5" even though it had new characters, new designs, new skins, new mechanics, and a story/adventure mode
BRO IM SO HYPED I FEEL LIKE IM GONNA CRY IM SO EXITED
Speedrun: how fast can you get a kill with a Meat Arrow…
dude I'm so hyped for this game, both the gameplay and the lore. everything is just so cool 😭😭
Maybe to make certain arrows you need to fuse more than one ingredient like the leaf and ice chu jelly. So you can craft new ammo on the go.
pretty sure you can't fuse more than 2 things together,
@@jeffboy4231 you can because the dev combined a stick with a rock and a stump if I'm not mistaken.
@@HachiLiveColor what? Yeah he did that after presumebly unfusing the rock from the sword
@@HachiLiveColor If you're talking about what Aonuma did, he Fused his Stick with the Log and he Fused his Shield with the Rock.
You could see Eric's Collector's anxiety start to build throughout the video, the new switch look just capitalised on that by beating the shit out of Pointcrow's wallet
I wonder if you can stick wheels on Sidon and make the new and Improved Sidon Car :D
Wow i just watched the live this must be very interesting
they just took the glitch of popping from under the ground into a mechanic I love it
GOD IM SO HYPED
I'm like 90% sure the battery for the propellers is an upgradable meter like health or stamina. It powers everything on a vehicle when activated and it recharges when its off.
If you notice when they drop in the water, the ascend ability appears, must mean underwater dungeon hooray 🎉
I was so excited when I saw the gameplay and it just makes me happy to share the hype :D
My friends at school and I were discussing- what if you built a house and put it on a stick? Or stick a ton of logs together to make one giant log and the fused THAT to a stick? Or somehow shifted Link's orientation and allowed the player to use Ascend to go through walls
First time I'm noticing the crosshairs when aiming recall... allowing for pinpoint accuracy. Interesting!!!
nice to see the triumphant return of Left Stick Down To Woah!
I;ve watched the Totk trailer 3 so many times i started fusing it with gigachad theme and it actually sounds pretty good
The fuse ability is so goofy and I love it
Dude, I just got a job, and now gonna buy this when it comes out So excited for fuse and ultrahand and ascend, all of it I love sandbox games
Im curious if new puzzles and quests will be detective type gameplay where you use recall to retrace the steps of an object and get hints from the envirnoment to solve like a code
“We took all the speed run glitches and made them mechanics. Your move, GDQ”
Your excitement is so real lmao
The ascend ability explains how they could add the underground part of the map with the ability to leave whenever you like
The Legend of Zelda: Nuts and Bolts
I imagine the meat on an arrow is used as a distractor? Like how meat is used in BOTW to distract enemies, maybe you can distract them from far distances or make them walk away from their camp for stealth missions
I like to imagine attaching a Korok leaf to a shield and doing a shield flip would result in a jump boost
At the end of the gameplay you can see what looks to be some wooden walls on a building. I wonder if you can literally rebuild hyrule by putting houses together. I’m assuming it must be tied to a quest as I don’t think your rune would keep it together when you leave
Oh, fused weapons are going to get *ridiculous* so fast, I love it. I wonder how many tree branches I can staple together?
i pre-ordered my game I'm so excited I cant wait another month
2:02 I feel like what should be mentioned about recall is that yes, while it does rewind the flow of time on a object, if you notice the clock in the bottom right, it's actually going forward in time much faster than needed, so does this mean link is also accelerating through time?
nah thats just because a day in game cant actually be 24 hours lol if you go on botw it also goes 5 mins at a time
I have a theory of the flamethrower shield. I think you have to get a flame machine from somewhere and then fuse it to your Shield
I just thought of something will you be able to fuse things with the Master sword? If so I wonder if there will be any special effects like changing the sword beam.
At the end you can see i think a house plot where you can build your house!
Catch me blasting fortunate son and sky diving into skyrule castle like I'm with the 101st airborn
10:48 Aonuma is definitely foreshadowing something there...
I just want to point out in previous trailers, the master sword is broken. Remaking a sword isn't new , ds games did it. But this fuse ability might hint at different swords possibly.
The best part is that this game is supposed to come out in May 12th 2 days after my birthday🎉
Can't wait to pull up to the new final boss with a spring loaded hammer fused with Vah Naboris.
Definitely going after keese in this game (assuming there ARE keese in the game)
There will be keese since their eyeballs can be used for enemy tracking with arrows
It's basically Garry's mod. Ultrahand is the physics gun, fuse is the toolgun's weld ability and ascend is basically noclip.
I think those construct enemies have each their own job. Some guard the islands, the ones that attack you, and then the ranger ones! the one in the cave and on the other side of the water, plant trees
At first I was thinking that combat would be too easy, since there are so many OP possibilities with fuse. But now that I've thought about it, the enemies just might have the same broken possibilities as link, so therefore combat is a million times less lame instead of being easier.
I'm really hoping those coordinates on the map aren't just for the devs cause that'll make navigation so much easier
Even if it was intended for the Devs only, they're probably gonna put it in due to comments like yours
I noticed that the area he starts the gameplay in is the guardian scrapyard just north of the twin mountains. But there're no guardians to be found... Perhaps they crumbled to broken pottery after BOTW, or were cleared up for some reason?
I'm glad the biggest BOTW player in the Zelda community is in support of the durability system in the original game. Because I love that system too. I didn't at first. But over time, I actually get why the devs did it that way. Once you know how to get around it, you can use it to do badass things during a fight. Like hitting an enemy when your weapon is just about to break and then getting that punchy critical hit slap? So satisfying. Plus you get to experiment with all the weapon types instead of just sticking to one.
it's only difficult in the first few hours, then you always have way too many weapons anyway, even in master mode
@@shellderp Right. Which is exactly the reason why breakable weapons is, dare I say, a necessary system in the game. And fights become more fun the more weapons you get to break on an enemy's head. It's just weirdly addicting. But I don't know, maybe that's just me.
Guys, I think they learned from the way people made the flying machine in BOTW and made it its own mechanic. They really do love the players.
Bro what's the song this I literally was so excited!!
I think the fuse ability is cool however I hope there is a few downsides that varies depending on what your fusing to a point where its balanced but can still have fun
So fuse will be our "crafting" so cool
9:50 "Ascend! Ascend! Ascend ascend ascend with Gorb!" - Gorb the great mind
This made my day! I really enjoyed pointcrow freaking out over this trailer, I don't know anyone personally who likes the legend of zelda and I felt weird for freaking out. This made me feel normal. :)
The damage HAS to be less than a standard 2-handed weapon, but interesting that Link can use the Stick+Rock with a single hand, even though it clearly has some weight to it.
