The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Mr. Aonuma Gameplay Demonstration

"How do we fuse guns with other guns!?"

Red and blue play through of tok 👀

Nobody is copying Nintendo lmao, these games are very basic.
Edit: Should clarify, Nintendo games aren’t as innovative and revolutionary as they used to be. This game is going to look and play almost exactly as the first did, it’s a barebones sequel that should’ve been left as a DLC. Nintendo fans get excited over the bare minimum and it’s hilarious.

@@KayJune PEOPLE were copying Nintendo lmfao.

yeah its *never* been done before

THIS

So true…

Or Kilton

Agreed

I would mention elixirs, but let's be honest, I haven't made a single one, the only elixirs I used were fire elixirs to reach the peak of death mountain

ong bro

my guy, link can pull the paraglider one millisecond before he hits the ground lmao.

​@@currybeansI adore doing that Lmao.

@@currybeans There's also being able to sit in a hot spring for 100 years.

I know this comment is 10 months old, but Link would be dead realistically?

yes

Actually they had this ideas before cause a lot of what you see in TotK has been taken from the unused concepts from the development of BoTW, they knew what players would do with Links abilities and the physics of the game and decided to make it part of the mechanics for this sequel which is amazing.

Expect alot of dick shaped inventions.

​@@kurokoro after all, the devs also play games and do funky stuff like everyone else! It's just a matter of if it's doable in x period of time, and launching these features in BotW wouldnt be achievable

@@kurokoro There are interviews where Aonuma and co. recall watching people do crazy ridiculous things with Magnesis and such (like the flying double-minecar they had to literally patch out) and just having their minds blown. Sure some of these concepts were pre-BotW, but don't try and tell me that the players' own ingenuity wasn't the spark that became the flames.

@@SomeKRplusTraveler Of course the players exploited this mechanics in awesome ways and the developers where surprised how they used them but the basic concepts for a lot of this was already there, I mean imagine when the sequel comes out and players do the same again, obviously they will impress the developers even more. Just like you said they gave us the fire and we used it in many ways unthinkable.

good developers look at how people have fun with their game, and embrace it. while Nintendo is usually deaf to this philosophy, there are exceptions, the legend of Zelda development team seems to get the idea perfectly.

@@myballspaul4889 you are 100% right, dear myballs

@@feyh 🤨🤨🤨

That’s the reason you should let players experiment haha

Yeah I think people got very creative with the little ressources they had (in terms of being able to assemble different pieces together) and Nintendo just went with that lol.

I'm emulating this on pc with version 1.0. No patch, no update, it just works.
Well done Nintendo.

wait did you dump it or pirate it

I certainly couldn't recall. :p

The sad truth about speedruns is that abilities stop being relevant once they find one or two good tricks that just make them obsolete.

attaching wood to a log (any %)

​@@7PlayingWithFire7 That's kind of the idea. To make as much of the game obsolete as you can in order to beat it as fast as possible. It isn't a "sad truth" it's just the nature of speedrunning.
Also, this isn't even inherently true. 100% runs often have to make use of every item/ability.
Look at Ocarina of Time, nearly every item is important.

Piracy is the way. ;)

@@7PlayingWithFire7 Piracy is the way. ;)

No I did all of those things first, it was just me

I'm pretty sure they got the fusing abilty idea from those devices that players created!

@@magolord2820 no doubt, and i'm sure once Tears is out for a few weeks, its developers will be stunned with creations they never thought of during the entire development process

The engine's capability of doing all these weird things is part of what made Breath of the Wild so incredible, so it is definitely nice to see they not only noticed this, but catered to those fans.

Enemies

Meat Arrow.

​@@MDLuffy1234YT Meat Missile?

@@johnfulcher8448 maybe.

Mmmmm cooked meat arrow

For real. I love botw, but there were many MANY useless items in it.

Runes were challenging, but blandly looked the same. Temples are a missing peice that should return.

That is actually the strange thing, there has to be more abilities because apart from recall, non of this really sounds directly useful in combat.
Though I do assume ultrahand will work just like magnesis but on any item so we can chop down a tree and dump it on enemies instead of only using metal grates or bolls.
I assume there will be some sort of bomb ability other than the weapon show.

​@@Stinkyremy who knows? They are still hiding tons after the final trailer! So maybe we could have more abilities..

Fuse a cookoo to a shield the meme is now real

@@Derek_9797 I think Nintendo just released a recap if you don’t wanna play the first game.

@@Derek_9797 I think it would be better to play Breath of the Wild first so you're already familiar with the story, characters, world etc. You might miss quite a bit of background information, but idk how they've handled it.

Thank you bro. We need more people like you in this cruel, cruel world

@@chillkillisded im just helping people who just want to see a specific ability's gameplay

@@wailmer_1 i love this terrible fate

I love it when companies roll with stuff like that. Rather than seeing it as an insult they build off of it. Feels like they enjoy playing it and the community. Like Valorant making jokes when a player portrait glitched and got stretched, they didn’t patch it they memed with it. Just makes it feel like the devs actually are part of the community and not some ambiguous people typing code.

The game is for babies grow up. No where nearly as good as the dark souls games.

@@Mynipplesmychoice the amount of wrong you are is immeasurable

Magnesis metal ball in a minecart as a gameplay mechanic? Yes please!

Wow, so genius bro. Nintendo literally found a way to make fanboys fanboy even more - that "don't complain about there not being much to do, because if you do, the fanboys will come at you with the "you have a bad imagination bro" excuse in return, and we commend them for it!" was a classy way to end the video. Just like Cyberpunk 2077, only a few of us saw the cracks before the game's release. Seems it's the exact same now, but let me guess, I'm not allowed to be skeptical, I just need to... use my imagination?

I was thinking about that! 😱

Bro, you're gonna make me ascend through every inch of every ceiling looking for a secret cavern now when the game comes out💀

I am imagining an entire dungeon with this mechanic in mind, maybe the map or clues help you figure out when a path is above you. I'm really hoping they have that in the game!

I'm pretty sure that was actually detailed in the patent that was released for it a fair while back. There was a drawing of a little sealed cavern otherwise unaccessible

@@patrickshaw411 they would probably make ceilings that prevent you from using it except in specific spots.

That part

Elden Ring

@Imature Gamer they created best open world in 2017 all the way till 2022*
Handheld not needed.

That’s the exact reason why Nintendo is so succesful. They know when it’s time to create something new and when it’s better to keep things as they are. That’s why we still get new traditional style Mario games. Why fix something that isn’t broken?

Piracy is the way. ;)

I am looking forward to your gameplay!

OMG IT RLLY ZACK

And yet it feels like a year. @ZackScottGames I watched your original BOTW playlist back in the day.

Hello Zack! I'm a big fan of your content!!

I love your vids!❤️

I hope we get an in-lore reason as to why these contraptions exist.

@@legomaster2538 zonai. the constructs drop zonai cores and there were similar looking npcs.

Have you seen a clip of someone stasis launching a yellow chuchu jelly then bullet time shooting it to kill 15 birds mid flight? BOTW was insane and im excited to see what other things there are to mess around with

@@legomaster2538 did you even play botw? The lore reason is an ancient civilization that made all the literal robots was taken over by Ganon. They literally dug robots out of a mountain and activated them. Link was chosen to use that technology alongside magic to stop the evil. At this point he's just had more time to learn that technology.

@@rotojakku that was the sheikah, these aren’t the same contraptions and are most likely zonai.

Just like every other release. Zelda always makes me feel this way. Oot when I was 8. Twilight princess when I was a teen. And my favorite attp where it began for me. Every launch has me excited and I find myself reading posts in anticipation exactly the same way a did 20 years ago.
Man Nintendo knows how to do it right. Games my be behind others but the quality is un matched. There is no doubt a main Nintendo release will be a banger. That's why we stay so true to our roots.
Thank you nintendo

You should play Banjo Kazooie nuts and bolts if you havent already! all of the building stuff you can do in that game too and its so fun

@@Over_Toasted i mean so many mminecraft stuff used to come from copying mods lol

Everyone said it was a shame they didn't have time to lean into the full physics power during development of the first game. It's awesome to see they took it to the limits this time.

I agree.
I am a life long zelda fan so there is that as i would be biased but I have also liked open world games since I was you and have played crap loads.
This was one of the most thought out open worlds I have ever played.
All the environmental story telling and points of interest that just peaked my interest to explore, I was exploring the world for over a month in no rush to complete the game.
Only issue is in retrospective, all there really was to find was a korok or a trash weapon etc.
TotK my interest in exploring is going to be more about returning to the places I know and seeing what has changed.

but it's the same map with tiny new floating blobs added, you can't really explore anymore since much of it is the same or slightly changed

​​@@huehuehue3376 bruh it is still worth it, and even if you don't like exploring the over world there is still the underground

To me that was the worst part. I don't enjoy walking around grassy fields for hours. I enjoy exploration of the world up to a point, but it just got tedious after a while.

@@mcephas6982 lmao

don't forget the trick of stacking 2 minecarts and lifting the lower one with magnesis to achieve infinite flight

Or the good old fashioned guardian on a boat go brrr

Lol they designed it with thar intention

The fuse ability is almost like an answer to all those who hated on the weapon durability system so much because when he fused the boulder to the highly damaged stick, it was no longer highly damaged... gotta love the link shrinkray mechanic to fit that boulder on his back! The moment I saw the weapon fuse ability I immediately thought of the smuggle and blss glitches

Reminds me of Scrap Mechanic’s building system, it just gives the same energy.

trust me speedrunners will make it descend into flames

@@rygqy2140 I bet if you throw an item at a wall, you can clip its momentum with fusion. That means you could probably shunt a Fan into the ground and push yourself out of bounds and then jus speed-exploit with Stasis/Rewind.

You need a boring mechanic in a game.. It will help you later on in it.. Like in Red Dead Redemption 2 I absolutely hate delivering mail but what it does teach me is timing and how to be efficient.. The boring things teaches you things just in case if you do something real serious in a game you have already mastered the techniques well..

@@kenrickeason he never said they were boring, just not fun

​@@EricN64 Is that the same thing?? If it's not fun then most would consider it boring right??

​@@EricN64 'climbing being boring'

I hope there is no limit to what we can stick together with our "vehicles".

OMG!!!

In my opinion, BOTW had too much freedom. Going somewhere new never felt rewarding because everything was open from the start. If you had to work to get an item to go to a new place, the arrival would be much more satisfying. Not to mention that the things you find around the world are often temporary and lackluster.

@Maria CANCER best of wishes to you ❤🙏

🎉😮😮😮🎉😮😮😮🎉😮😮😮🎉

...

same bro i wonna go back 😭

I agree

Definitely sounds like a mechanic made because people didn't like how fragile the weapons were. I didn't mind the weapon breakage concept but it felt like some of the better weapons were made of glass sometimes

Agreed

Yeah I was concerned at first that they hadn't addressed the weapon damage issue but I think the fusion mechanic is sperfect compromise

I am concerned though about the chance of this being more of a requisite than a neat side mechanic. Like if you mostly find junk weapons, and they expect you to merge for decent ones. The enemies all having sticks gives me that impression, but this is probably a very early area.

yea like the discovery of the hidden cave for the devs in A Link To The Past 30 years later

You nerds take everything too seriously

Using random junk and physics glitches to make a railgun to kill Ganon.

Sad to hear that. I’m much older than you but my own late father loved BOTW. I still find it hard to revisit the game, in fact I’ve only tried to play it once again since he died. But I take strength from the memories of the shared experience. Like in Hyrule, the journey never really ends.

Right? There are many opportunities the player can do for crafting materials by fusing any type of objects around them. I find that fusion mechanic is really well improved for the franchise. Not really a fan of Zelda but I'm only getting this game because of the open world formula and the weapon selection. That's why honestly.

I love it

That's why it took so long!

Also the seamless exploration between the surface and the sky, this game is looking to be a technical masterpiece. Just like BotW showed what the switch was capable at launch, TotK will squeeze every drop of the hardware at the end of it's lifespan, I'm excited!

I really need to know the limit

I'm not sure I'll continue being interested in Nintendo games after Aonuma, Miyamoto, Koizumi and Sakurai retire. Their franchises led by younger producers are well-made, but I just don't connect to their games the same way. Nintendo's veteran producers are the heart and soul of the company for me.

Not very honest of them to just be sitting around for 5 years, only showing the most barebones teaser trailers. They were hiding the main idea of the game so that competitors would not get to it.

@@quibquiberton4184 I'm familiar with the other names, but who is Koizumi ? Pardon my ignorance

I don't know about honest, maybe. But as for "fans of his series" this feels more like a game builder than a Zelda game. Maybe they'll show later what long time fans of the franchise have been asking of the first one...

​@@panzerdragoon273 the first one was the closest Zelda to what they've wanted to do with the franchise since the first one on NES

Yawn

​​@@roodinverse Yawn? Did you like the original? I understand if you didn't, (I think it's the best game ever made.) The reason why people are excited, is because it adds to the exploratory satisfaction the original encapsulates. I would just wander the map and be amazed every time I found a new location. That endorphin rush will be tenfold when I used a make shift vehicle i uniquely designed to get there. When I first heard about his before seeing it, I thought, "oh no, the legend of Zelda: nuts and bolts." Nope. I'm stoked. Ganondorf, sky diving, two maps, new abilities, this game will be a masterpiece, because eiji and hidemaro make nothing less than master pieces

@@GG256_ not really. There's no other franchise more overrated than Zelda, but the nintendo fanboy hivemind is ready to go to war with torches and pitchforks if someone admits that the games are mid. And it's okay to like mediocre games, I've enjoyed plenty of 5/10 or 6/10 kind of games for what they are. My issue is that people pretend that this PS3 looking mediocre open world game is a masterpiece that somehow set a new standard for open world games (what?!), even though the only 2 games that copied it are a Ubisoft game and a free Korean mmo. If people would admit that "yeah, Zelda games are usually 7/10 or 8/10 games for kids and teenagers but I love them" instead of "THIS IS A MASTERPIECE AND THE BEST GAME EVER CREATED IN OUR LIFETIME", I think it would at least make sense.

@@silvarian For real. Nintendo fans losing their minds about these "new" features that are like 20 years old.

@@functionatthejunctionname any open world game that has a fuse mechanism with rag doll engine

@@functionatthejunction yea, but the fact that gmod was an entire game that was centered around building- makes me, and seemingly many other people excited that we can have the best of both worlds combined, and not sacifice graphics, lore, or just general gameplay. I personally always wanted a combo of Minecraft and zelda botw for Minecraft's creativness and Botws open-world-ness, + all their famous mechanics. For me I always thought Botw was really leading you to one road and one road only, the main story; upgrading gear, completing the occasional side quest, but mostly just driving you to and from the divine beasts before you beat ganon. I stopped playing after I beat the game, as I couldn't really find the motivation to complete all side quests, start speedrunning, buy dlcs(much less actually complete them), start modding, ect. i was only in it for the fight. I might be a lost player but what I took away from the gmod feature was a creative outlet to fill the gap of things I can trust to keep me busy after or during the game.
TL;DR: Botw was temporary to me because I had not much to do after all the action, yet I keep playing a "childish" game like minecraft because the good, dopamine seeking discoveries you can find in that game are endless. Interpret that how you will.

Nice word play

Rock and stone brothers

Take all the enchanted swords in your house and Voltron them together into a super-mega-ultra sword!

Did it, though? The root issue with durability is that it compounds the issue that fighting basic enemies is pointless by making it actively detrimental ("break your weapons fighting enemies to take their weapons"). Infinite durability doesn't make it useful to fight anything.

@@xSilentZeroXx This seems a little odd to me. You fight them because they're enemies in a video game that is, in part, about fighting enemies. In my experience, in terms of pure gain, there's very little reason to fight any normal enemy in *any* Zelda game; they might drop a heart, or a rupee, but the rewards are extremely minimal. It's just that the enemies are functioning as a barrier to something you want, e.g., a chest, the entrance/exit, etc. This is just true in general for a lot of games -- what's the point of Mario jumping on a goomba?
Also, enemies in BotW often had materials that might be useful for crafting potions (and apparently, in the sequel, for item modification as well), so I think the "break your weapons fighting enemies to take their weapons" is at least a little reductive.
