This game launched when I was suffering extreme health issues and honestly wasn’t sure if I was going to survive 2023. I had pre-ordered this game so I would have something to look forwards to between hospital visits. Nearly one year later, I’m basically a brand new person with a second chance at life, and Tears of the Kingdom was with me the whole time. This game will forever remind me how lucky we all are to still be here today.
Glad to hear you're doing better.
I'm happy to hear you're ok! Stay strong 💪
reminds me of the many stories similar to this back when botw launched. glad you're still here!
That is amazing to hear and I'm glad you're still with us!
Great to hear you still with us. Glad you were able to experience peak
Now that the game is out. I cant believe how much TotK makes BotW feel like a first draft. What an absolute masterclass.
RIGHT?? I was the biggest doubter and was afraid this would be major dlc.,,who prts of the game Nintendo kept quiet! Under promise, over deliver. Im awe struck!!!!!
I have the opposite feeling, much preferred BoTW by a longshot for myriad reasons. Seeing this trailer again that finally got me hyped just leaves me feeling melancholy now.
@@yeismeload botw boring af
@@yeismeload Can you list those reasons?
@@yeismeload specify???
I come back just to feel something.

Even though the game is 7 months old now I still get chills as the music kicks in when Link is diving. One of the best game trailers ever.
I can’t believe it’s already been 7 months since I pre ordered the game and picked it up from GameStop, got home and played it nonstop all summer.
I feel the same way 😢
SAME! i always come back to this music every couple weeks or so. (i seem to be a big reason why this video has 13M views lol).

@@joshisanL that's Awesome
From “It’s dangerous to go alone” to “You are not alone” … right in the feels
cool i’m crying now
OWIE MY HEART
Agh!!
Do think that maybe zelda have an important scena that we can use with Link! Will be amazing in the castle with Gannon. What do you think? Because she was close with the sword
Am I the only one who remembers that Spirit Tracks already did, "You are not alone"?
The best thing about Nintendo trailers is that they never exaggerate anything. What you see is exactly what you get. And all I'm seeing right here is perfection.
lol youve never played a nintendo game then
Couldn’t agree with you more…
Absolutely. So underrated honestly. That understanding amongst fans, that what you see is what you get with Nintendo trailers, makes them and directs soooooo hype.
Mufucka have you seen the latest PokéMon?
Thats funny because they've barely shown anything really
Even though this game didn't win goty, it doesn't change how much of a masterpiece this game is. For me, this is the game of the decade so far.
Not even goty 💀💀💀💀👍👍 $70 dlc 😱😱🤑🤑🤑 genshin better 🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🔥🔥🔥🔥
Game of the decade yet cant even win game of the year 💀💀💀💀💀 makes sense LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Estus.flaskk how long have you been doing this for
@@Eatalemon21like 7 months atleast
@@Estus.flaskkget a life already
Hard to believe this trailer is one year old and the game is NEARLY the same age. This game was such a joy and I actually cant believe I was sitting there watching this one year ago. Happy birthday to that damn saxophone lol
I came back to watch this trailer just for the saxophone 🥳
The composer deserves so much praise. That saxophone is incredible.
I am half convinced the sax player is InsaneInTheRain but he's not allowed to tell us it's him yet.
Saxophone assist makes the song even better Because I am Japanese, I might not be able to translate well
The little motifs too, especially that cheeky little Zelda’s lullaby at the very end lol
It's a kazoo.
It sounded like a soprano sax
i love how the newer heroes like sidon and riju are playing a more important part in the story, it’s like a new generation of champions coming together
Gotta mix in the new with the old. I for one am freakin' hyped for this.
im gonna lose my mind (in a good way) if they end up becoming the new generation of sages like just imagine how badass that would be!
It feels like a natural extension and consequence of the events of the previous game, it's great! And something Zelda hasn't really done before.
And how much link seems to interact with the people of Hyrule, from fighting with villagers to flying with what looks to be Teba's son, it feels much more alive and like the people actually are part of the land!
Ganondorf summons a giant demon form and the new champions and link combine the divine beasts into a giant robot to fight him, that’s what I want most
STOP I CAN NOT GET OVER THE FACT THAT THIS WAS MADE A YEAR AGO I LOVED THE GAME I STILL RAVE OVER IT
real
Real
Almost 150-hours of gameplay later: I just watched this again and got chills at all the same places as the first viewing. This was my GOTY and is my favorite game of all time.
Same
I have played it over 550 hours now (damn, sometimes even I am shocked about these numbers, but I just can't get enough 🥹) and I agree! 💙 I'm 32, I've played a lot of great games since I was a kid. But this was the best gaming experience I ever had!
same i had to put my switch in the pawn shop due to financial issues and haven't played in 4 months and the entire time I'm literally dying to play it..
@@taylordakoda67 I hope your financial situation will get better soon - not only for the game but also for your life! 🙏🏻
Best game ever made
Came back to celebrate this masterpiece 1 year later.
This game actually launched on the day where I had the worst panic attack of my entire life. My mental health was at an all time low and finally getting the game I had waited so many years for was the only thing I was happy about. When I finally got to my dad’s house, I was able to play the game with him watching. I just want to say this game might single-handedly be the reason I’m still here.
w reason
@@chipi9984real
When Ganondorf said. "Do not look away, you witness the Game of The Year's revival." It hit hard.
I just know someone is gonna get pissed at you for this comment XD Jokes aside. Tears of the kingdom be looking excellent
More like game of the decade.
Oh yea that trailer was crazy, I loved it. Honestly I think thats Demise and not Ganondorf. Demise is the one who cursed the Sword the seals the Darkness in the early games.
i hope your okay. 🐕
Game of the Century* or at least until botw 3: the breath at its wildest
The day that TotK came out, I drove to one of my best friends' house to experience the game for the first time together. On the way there I drove with my windows down blasting this trailer's music as loud as my car could handle and just shaking with excitement. That was one of my best days in recent memory and this music will always give me chills as I remember it.
AHAHA You're the biggest gigachad I've seen on this platform 😂
@@PhoenixWrightAceAttorney I did this to my older sister, I came into her room, and blasted the loudest part. 😂
@@Katie-en3jp OMG you absolute LEGEND haha 😂
If I heard this IRL I would hate you... then I would realize it's TotK and rush back to play it
I blasted the music too while driving to buy it with tears in my eyes
It’s been a year…..the Totk hype made feb (second trailer) march (gameplay demo) April (final trailer and KZheadrs playing early) may (release) June (beat the game) it makes me nostalgic for something that happened only a year ago!
I know. TOTK was what made me so happy and full of excitement in 2023. It was an amazing year for me whilst it lasted. Zelda hype had never been higher before !
This trailer gives a major “This one’s for the fans” vibe, especially near the end. Brings tears to my eyes
Fr i keep coming back for that 🔥🔥🔥 final part, and seeing Link singing with me and singing for the year hits me there 🫡
Tears? of the Kingdom?
zelda is the dragon
@@donaldblumpf3260 SHUT UP!
@@donaldblumpf3260no
Seeing all the main characters fighting alongside Link is insane. The enormity of the threat to Hyrule feels so much greater than what happened in BoTW. I cannot wait to play this.
Almost as enormous as the threats we are facing in this sad real world of ours.
@@PedrinhoCruzeirense Real, Sad , and concerning
Yes!! Almost makes botw feel like a prequel to this- like this is the main event
I had the same sentiment, but you said it WAYYYYYYY better! Lol!
Because the war already happened in BOTW, 100 years prior. The game was post-apocalyptic while the threat is very current in this game.
two weeks until this is a year old, i miss that time of my life so badly
i remember trying for months trying to preorder the collectors edition 😭😭 i
I come from the future to tell all of you that this game is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece...
Give the composers all the love and the recognition they deserve. The work they did on this ost is outstanding
Is everyone going to ignore that this trailer is going to be #1 on Trending later today? I’m predicting the future
using the motifs perfectly. i like it more than the botw1 presentation score, and that piece is top tier
Guaranteed the stellar music in this trailer is not gonna end up in the final game, the same thing happened with the KILLER theme from the final trailer for BotW back in 2017. That track was so good it got its own arrangement in SSBU.
@@ThisGuyDannyyy obviously
the rock band saxophone is a little weird
Once that classic zelda theme song hit full throttle i couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.
true its main theme is just: cannot be explained with words
This is why this video will be #1 on Trending

6 months has passed and still, whenever I watch this trailer, I can't hold back my man tears. This is just so beautiful. It's a glorious celebration of all the Zelda games that we had since day one.

@@BaneStopMotionpreach dude 🙏 You'll be a lego legendary builder 🔥
@@wert556 thanks I appreciate it
“Link, you are not alone” and then showing him fighting with others like makes me so happy because there are so many moments in BotW where it feels utterly lonely (which isn’t a bad thing but it was the first 3D Zelda without someone like Navi, King of Red Lions, Midna, or Fi). Seeing him fighting a *normal* enemy with Sidon makes me think we will have a lot more moments with other characters.
It looks like it will be online!
It really looks line Hyrule Warriors
I feel like this is going to be BoTW’s foil. While BoTW focused on technology, isolation in nature, and regaining memories, this game seems to be focusing on magic and finding a new path with the regained memories and new allies.
This was absolutely inspired by Hyrule Warriors.
@@Mirage475 i mean age of calamity is technically a hyrule warriors game lol so
Seeing Sidon, Riju, and Teba’s son makes me even more hyped for this game to come out ❤️
Hopefully teba himself and yunobo also make an appearance
@@MrFunPolice I'm worried Teba died because only his son appears
Something must’ve happened to Teba and Yunubo. Teba is probably trapped in that storm over Hebra, Yunubo fighting off the malice in Death Mountain.
IM CONFUSED WASNT SIDON FROM THE FUTURE?
@@anumghulam9653 huh. no AOC is a different canon.
This turned out to be my favorite game of all time 😭
This trailer should go down in history as what a good trailer looks like. Everything in this is epic and even now after all the hype and after the ending of the game, I can still come back here and get teary eyed, goose bumps and still feel massive excitement over the building music. What a game. What an event to have lived through.
Can’t agree more!
This trailer made me nostalgic already
How this soundtrack bridges the sparse themes of breath of the wild into the classic themes is so absolutely amazing. It really seems to emphasize BotW having been about letting go and impermanence and TotK being about rebuilding, restoration and renewal in my mind. I can’t remember the last time a trailer got me this excited about an upcoming game, this looks flat out mind blowing.
I'm pretty sure the music for the game itself would be twice as better then the first game.
I see it as the timelines coming back together full circle.
I remember the last time a trailer hyped me up so much but it won't be very original: the announcement trailer of Elden Ring. Seeing it again now that we know who the characters are makes it even more enjoyable these days.
BOTW also had a strong emphasis on solitude. Towns were sparse, most people you saw were alone in the wilderness and needed your help, and you NEVER fought with allies. You started on a plateau with only one other person you could even reach, and he was a ghost. The few divine beast segments were incredibly unique because you fought with an ally. Zelda's plotline was about being alone, trapped with a mindless beast. This game seems to be placing an emphasis on community. Hyrule Castle town is being rebuilt. Fort Hateno seems to be at least less of a graveyard than it was before. We fight with allies. It seems like there are allies everywhere, and it seems like reaching Zelda to get the tears will be integral (probably to get new abilities like ultrahand and stuff). You can assist in a battle between armies, this game is gonna literally do age of calamity but open world.
What's the theme at 1:10 please ?
The Zelda team is like an endless well of unprecedented creativity that never runs dry.
They definitely are a rare gem. I can't think of a single series that has had so many games over so many years, yet still continues to awe it's fans and outdo themselves each and every time! I haven't taken any work vacation in a long time so I think I'm gonna take the whole week after the 12th off just to be able to play this game!
@@ROCKonXLRhat’s exactly what I did! I have off from the 12th-24th of may. It’s on!! My TOTK oled is just sitting there waiting for me to put the game card in

1 year since this masterpiece dropped
fr
I came back just to listen how hard they dropped this trailer.
It really is a top-tier trailer.
I already own the game and have put nearly 50 hours into it over the last 4 days since it came out. And yet I still find myself coming back to watch this incredible trailer in my free time
Wow, same. I have to watch this trailer at least once a day. The music and everything are *chef kiss*
Saaaaame. I already have soooo much hours in the game but i still come back everyday and have litterals chills
already beat it and currently at 150h with 50% progress. but watching this trailer still bring tears to my kingdom🥲
Facts, this is game of the century
Same!!! I thought i was the only one
It almost feels like Breath of the Wild was simply made to be an introduction to Tears of the Kingdom.
Yep that's what it's feeling like. Like BOTW was just a test run. A very GOOD test run.
I think that BOTW was an experiment and this is the game Nintendo EPD really wanted to make.
This is actually accurate, Nintendo even said they wanted to add sky concepts like in Skyward sword to BOTW, but it didn't happen. They were originally going to make some of this into the DLC, but they had so many more ideas they just decided to make TOTK.
@@BloodInTheStrawberries so the two best Nintendo sequels were both intended to be dlc at first?
@@minecrafter3448 what do you mean 2? What is the other one?
What I would give to forget every single thing about this game and do it all again!
This trailer is one year old already and that saxophone at 2:10 is still an absolute banger as always.
Its rare a franchise can keep you excited for 20 years but to make you more excited with each generation is unheard of
Man this franchise has kept excited for 30 years!
It’s coming up on 40 years. 1986
37 years**
I liked zelda as a kid but I never got super into it this one and botw did it for me and my son I've played a link to the past, Minish cap and ocarina of time which to be fair could have done it but as a adhd kid and how young I was when it was in my hands probaly wasn't the right time
28 years for me.
I never really doubted that this game would hold me for another 100+ hours, but this just confirmed it. Seeing Ganondorf yelling took me back to my childhood, sooooo good.

@@ThisGuyDannyyy Haha I put maybe 200 hours into BOTW, but I can see why people put a thousand. It really was almost therapeutic to run around collecting Korok seeds.
This trailer is one year old today and I can't believe it... Time went by so fast! When I first watched it, I was at work, just had my break and it was so hard to hold back the (happy) tears... Later at home I let them all out! And now? I still love and play the game...💙
This trailer is now 1 year old 😢 feels like yesterday I was hyping up about this trailer and not being able to sleep because I was so excited for this game. How time flys
honestly i miss it so god damn bad
Watching not just the other heroes but normal people fighting alongside Link was very exciting. The phrase "but you are not alone" has a true meaning this time.
Its the new heroes, there's prince sidon, and the son of the bird guy that we taught how to shoot arrows
@@animegeeko3053 yes, but also there are normal villagers, that's what I mean.
Like in every other game you will be alone when it comes to fighting. The „friends“ only join in for the cutscenes

One whole year ago already. I vividly remember watching the livestream on the way home from Uni. I cannot believe it’s been this long.

Finished Tears of the kingdom today. It was almost 2am but I couldn't wait for it. I can't even put in words how amazing and incredible this game was for me. It took me almost 1 year to finish it beacause I didn't wanted it to end, I wish it could last forever. Can't describe how much I love tears of the kingdom. Thank you and congratulations to all the team that brought us this game. You did an amazing job and you don't even imagine what this game meant to me and and how it touched my heart and soul.

That's nothing. Tingle has been missing from this series for 20 years
Classic cheap Nintendo
The fact that they brought back the three-headed dragon from the original 1986 game is absolutely insane
I got mad goosebumps from that
It was also in Skyward Sword.
@@LocrianDorian No, I don't think it was in SS.
@@mitchellbrown4454 there was a 3 headed "dragon" of sorts in ss but it's not the same as the one shown in the trailer
That would be Gleeok. It was in the The Legend of Zelda for the NES. The very first Zelda game. He appeared multiple times in the game in both the 1st and 2nd quests. He could have between 2-4 heads
I had a strange feeling after jumping from the Great Sky Island to Hyrule for the first time. Once i reached earth, after swiming... i felt like Home. Like i have returned home after a long, long trip. Incredible feeling.

The innocence of our childhoods swept away, sometimes a glimpse is felt
It's called baiting...
As a father. My kids are 17, 12, and 9 now. My 17 year old games and Breath of The Wild was the game that became her medicine after her mother died a few years before the game came out. Seeing my 11 year old at the time, pick up a controller, turn on the Wii U and just find herself in a open world, and find that curiosity shine through her head is something you never forget. Breath of the Wild helped her figure out something in herself and let the grief of death go. It’s definitely hard to watch her go to college with Tears of The Kingdom on her side making her mom proud as she expands her world at Stanford.
Who?
@@kianj Wym who
I'm sorry a WHAT?!
Went to rewatch the trailer to show it to my cousin and now reading your comment. I wasn't expecting to get tears in my eyes. The fact that games can serve for other unintended ways, like make a person's life better in a special way... Just wow...
As corny as it may sound: the value Nintendo games offer the world can't be overstated. I have 2 grown girls myself. We've often struggled with poverty and addiction and sometimes all it took was a Nintendo game to help us make it through another day.
I love how we regularly come back to this trailer because it's amazing, but also absolutely accurate. I'm both reliving the entire game experience AND the trailer first time chills.
Not a year left, 39 mins! It came out at 10:00 AM on April 13 2023, the same day I watched Mario movie
Its been almost 3 months and I still shed tears at the crescendo... This game is a masterpiece

Bro is 40 years old or more
I come back to this trailer and remember when I watched it for the first time in school with my friends, I miss the hype for this game so much, after beating the game in 2 weeks my life felt incomplete again
Still shocked that this trailer is nearly a year old now... I remember I finished my first year of college and then a week later, this game came out and I didn't step outside for like a solid week because I was grinding this game with no guide. I also bought myself the OLED switch to go with it and I still don't regret it. I use it almost every single day and it reminds me to never give up and enjoy life because we will always end up going back and remembering the good times and smiling because they happened. I also had a previous comment on here saying that it would be the game of the year. Although it wasn't fully true, it was action-adventure game of the year which was still pretty much a given for the nominees. I am still just in awe that this game exists and what I've been through while playing. The Depths being an addition, going through the sky-islands, experiencing the grand world of Hyrule one more time, seeing freakin' PURAH, learning about the Zonai people, and seeing Ganondorf's new design and also his boss fight was so memorable. I love this game and if I ever have a kid, I would show them that this is how you make a sequel to an already great revamp to a legendary game series. God bless this amazing game for everything it did for me. Can't wait to see where Nintendo goes from here on Zelda games...
This was the most hyped I've been for a game EVER. I vividly remember waiting for this trailer to premiere in the middle of class. Then when the game was out I played the entire time in that same class for the rest of the week. Bring me back man. I can't even put into words how hype this was for me.
This was all I needed. No huge dialogue. No crazy transitions. Just scenes from the game, the amazing score and very emotional single lines. I’d put this as a top 3 Legend of Zelda trailer
definitely, the E3 2017 BOTW trailer definitely takes number 1.
@jackmcnulty7808 I disagree i think botw switch presentation takes top spot
Absolutely bar-setting trailers
@@horsebox5138 I think you're both talking about the same trailer haha, there was no BotW trailer at E3 2017. The game was already out by then.
Personally, I think this is the best Video Game Trailer, ever. 35 Years worth of musical references, call backs, returning characters, mysterious new ones, the return of the series’ Big Bad from over a decade, the operatic and cinematic style. It’s all the BOTW trailer had, and more. It’s just perfection.
I don’t think I’ve ever watched a trailer this much in my life. It’s incredible. And what’s even crazier is the game LIVED UP TO IT. The wait was long but it was WELL worth it!
What’s even crazier is that the trailer BARELY shows anything! The game still keeps surprising me with how much it has.
@@moldybanana279 Fr. I was blown away at some of the stuff in the game. Like, they only showed ONE out of context clip of the depths which made it seem like a cave or a dungeon, so we were totally unaware of its existence. First time I entered the depths I didn’t know what to do with myself I was so excited because of how MASSIVE it is 😂
@@Jay-Zech Yeah me too! The fact that Nintendo was able to keep that hidden is crazy. When I found the depths, my mind was completely blown. Phenomenal game.
No matter how many hours I put into totk, their is always something to do. I love zelda
You've done it. You've finally climbed to the top of Mount Lanaryu, the top of Death Mountain, to every sky island, to every shadow of the Depths, cleansed the Demon King a million times. A year. Be it 10,000, be it more. You have **slain** the darkness. The malice, the gloom.

Bro can we just admire how Zelda trailers go so hard, not just with the way they are edited but the outstanding music composed for them.
Zelda music has always been 🔥
Yes
@@Smokey1419 Very true
as soon as the old theme kicked in so did my tears of awe
Yeah they go hard but I won't admire them 👎
I played 98 Ocarina of time with my mother. I couldn't read the textboxes because I was too young so we played the game together. She loved it! My mother passed away this year and Tears of the Kingdom will release on her birthday. What an awesome take of destiny it would be, if the story we startet together would end on her birthday in the year she died. Thanks for everything Mom❤ I will never forget the days we spend on Ocarina of time. The Zelda franchise is truly something else.
You're gonna make me cry, man. I really hope this game is just as special for you as OOT.
Wish my parents were as involved with what I liked. May your mother rest in eternal harmony and is watching you conquer this new masterpiece. Lets go!
That's so sad I hope you finish and have fun time I hope that God with let you have a amazing life and childhood.May God bless your family and friends🙏
My condolences to you. May she rest in peace
Thank you for your kind words everybody❤ I hope you all will have fun with this game
POV: You're here waiting for the one year anniversary of the trailer.
I'm here almost celebrating the one year anniversary
My cousin and I were best friends all the way from birth and bonded hard over playing Zelda together. Over the years we grew distant, but that part of us always stayed true. He passed away several years ago due to health complications, and that was right around the time BoTW was released. I just remember thinking, "Man, he would have LOVED the way Zelda turned out with this one." And now, with ToTK, I couldn't even imagine his reaction and the amount of time we would have shared together with this game. It's amazing how simply a game can bring people so close and create fond memories to look back on. This is for the ones who never got to see this game in their lifetime and for the ones who still have the chance to create memories over such an amazing title. Long live Hyrule!! 💚💜
I’m gonna make so many contraptions, thingamabobs, and doohickeys with the fuse ability. I can’t wait
Sup Haminations
Samee
Hi ham
I agree, imma make all kinds of weird things with the fuse ability and attack enemies with them, and btw Haminations im subscribed, i loved your vid about the way your brother almost died 18 times, ivr almost died half those ways, the main one being cracking my head open
Good luck with that Bryson
Even after 10 months, when the original melody drops i get goosebumps and wet eyes, this may not have been the most inovating game ever but sure had some of the best trailers of zelda history
I don't often agree with IGN but this was my game of the year last year.
Me too.
At 2:09 when Zelda says "Link" and that music kicks in just gives me chills it is amazing, all of the music and dialogue.
THE SAXOPHONE!!!!!!
Y
@@LegoMaster2115 it’s not a saxophone
Bro im feeling light headed after watching this again
Sax
Still watching this even though I’m already playing the game. This trailer was really emotionally and incredibly epic!
i just did the same! ive been so busy with the game i never got around to watching the final trailer!😂
Yeah I avoided most of the promotion leading up to the game, but I’m now watching them as I’m playing the game. If you’ll notice there’s some good gameplay ideas sprinkled throughout the trailer.
There are! And it’s so satisfying to finally live out what you see on the trailer.
I just wish where the horse was drawing carriages that it would be bringing people to new homes being built by hudson construction and not just for the pony trotters or whatever they're called
Every day i watch too brother
Although this game didnt win goty, it still did in my heart. This is one of the best games I’ve ever played and I hope in the future people will remember it for the masterpiece it is.
This game would've won GOTY if it weren't for streamers jumping all over this game.
if the only other game to come out this year was gollum totk might've had a chance
@@toast1612 shows how much you hate and envy the amazing Zelda series lol.
@@loganvest367 you mean if it weren’t for Baldur’s Gate 3?
IT DID WIN GOTY LOL
NOMINATED FOR GAME OF THE YEAR 2023!!!!
YAHHHH
YAHAHA WE GOTTA GET TOTK TO WIN! IT INSPIRED ME TO USE THIS PFP
This game came out the day before my wedding, and joined us on our honeymoon. Months later I still look back to this game as a reminder of the best week of my life. This game will always hold a special place in our hearts
You got all the best of the hype. Good for you.
Nice dude congrats
This game released at the exact day my exam started. Man that was such a huge pain lol
@@meesgraas128 same here
@@meesgraas128ahah for me its the opposite it was the day of my final exam day so i could enjoy the game all the week after
This is one of the best trailers I've seen in a long time, the amount of emotions I experienced during this are crazy
Yeah ight
shh
Worst experience
Also shug up
The only emotion I experienced was “WOAH! OH MY GOD! WHAT? GANONDORF? MISSION IMPOSSIBLE? WOOOOOOOOO-“
Sometimes I come back to this just to feel something. I really miss how exciting it was when this trailer first came out. I probably watched this over 100 times before the game came out
i still get cold chills everytime i watch this
X C
@@dameekamendez9940 what
@@QuackCow144 X C
Ganondorf's reveal is one I cannot stop rewatching. The music composition is spectacular, and for the first time in 17 years, I feel like a Zelda game has a true, terrifying villain. Ganon's appearance in BotW was.. fine, nothing spectacular, but I am so beyond excited to finally come toe to toe with Ganondorf once again.
I hope for the final time. It’s time to break demises curse once and for all
At 1:18 I think that could be Demise way closer to the end of the game
I JUST REALIZED THAT MATT MERCER IS THE VOICE ACTOR!
@@probenfetchak8076 I'm almost positive that's Demise. That model is gigantic and looks similar to Demise's model in Skyward Sword. It's DEFINITELY not Ganondorf though, I know that much. And considering the logo for the game is an ouroboros, I wouldn't be surprised if they're trying to tie in TotK to Skyward Sword and bring it to a close of some kind.
@@abyssalcrisis Agreed my hopes of the villains that we get to fight in this game are Demise, Ganondorf/Ganon as the second last boss of the game, Astor, the blights because I would like for them to make a return, Ghirahim, vaati, Zant, a corrupted Hylia battle where Ganon possesses her with his malice, king Dongo, Malladus, and calamity ganon to make a return as the very first boss of the game
The musical cues at 0:38 , 1:21 , 2:10 , 2:50 , 3:06 - are just absolutely AMAZING. Gets me so hyped, emotional, pumped up - everything. This game is going to be truly something special.
Man, you even missed a few! For example, "Hyrule Castle" theme on piano just prior to the callback at 1:21!
The one at 2:10 is awesome, I love it when they incorporate saxophone bits in these trailers
@@joeldowell5059 it is a great one. I think 0:38 & 1:21 are my favourites!
What’s that instrument called Witt the vibrato (sorry if it’s wrong spelling o vocabulary I’m not really a music person) at 0:38
@@futuristix2510 it might be an Erhu - that was used for BoTW’s theme too. But it does sound different for TOTK. I’m not 100% sure. Someone else might know & tell us haha
It feels so weird to miss waiting for a game so much. I miss the speculation and the trailers. Such a hype time.

hey we got gta 6 filling that gap now, for whoever is part of both the zelda and gta fanbases
@@prismiemonaGTA is cool but will never rival the wait for a new Zelda game
Can’t wait to hear this legendary music played by the Game Awards orchestra when this masterpiece wins the GOTY.😭
Me too
@Estus 🤓
🎷🎷🎷
GOTY belongs to starfield bud (not saying totk is bad ofc)
@@charlesmeniru5082 if you really think so you haven’t seen the latest trailer
The themes, music score, just...everything feels like a "this is it" moment for Zelda. Like this is where all those branching timelines have merged into this one grand adventure.
No, not all branching timelines, just the sequel to BotW.
I agree, this feels like a pivotal point, like even if it’s not, it feels like everything has been adding up to this
Dont get to ahead of yourself my man
@@RetroDeath yes, all branching timelines. BOTW is where all 3 branching timelines meet just as Skyward Sword is where they all stem from. TOTK will be the bridge between BOTW and SS, tying everything together.
Most definitely a big one. It's also a reveal of the direction Aonuma always wanted it to be. This is now his vision of the game, and much less Miyamoto's. The whole style is a love letter to Studio Ghibli, and they are putting it forward as the new standard for Zelda entertainment for the coming decade or so, definitely a new bar set here. It's gonna be wild!
Nine days till the one year anniversary
still my GOTY
My God, as a classical saxophone player this trailer really speaks to me, I think it's the first time a saxophone with a more classical-like sound has ever been used in a Nintendo soundtrack, it's outstanding!
I caught that. Excellent use of sax.
Corny
I don't think I've ever heard as a sax as the lead melodic instrument in an orchestra. It's funny how seamlessly it blends with the erhu that comes in a bit later. Never in a million years would I link those two instruments in my mind.
@@squirrel1331nice failed ratio
@@brandoncarbaugh7994 Sonic Unleashed?
This hit me right in the heart container.
Time goes so fast. This is vid is almost a year old…
Ik man it went by so fast
hearing Mineru say “you are not alone” whilst we see Sidon fighting with Link is so special to me. Breath of the Wild was my first Zelda game, i knew basically nothing about the world. and Ruta was the first Divine Beast I completed. Sidon was so much fun to play with in Botw so getting to fight alongside him again was like a dream. the Sages were definitely my favorite part of this game. it’s pretty incredible how i actually missed fictional characters so much lol. it was amazing to reunite
Same.
You know a trailer is good when the game's logo appears along with a musical queue, and you can't help but smile...
The guy on the saxophone deserves a raise
Literally chills
~smile~ cry
Made me cry
