Link: *kills ganon* ... Link: why is there boss music still playing

Ganondorf: "You should've gone for the head."

It’s still feels unreal that we finally live in a time where we know everything about the game. It’s kind of nostalgic thinking about how curious we all were about this mysterious sequel.

A moment of silence for our rat friend that did not make it into the final game.

"Thanks for defeating me, but Ganon is in another castle."

Zelda: Open your eyes Ganondorf: 👁 👁 Zelda: No, not you

Crazy how much changed between this trailer and the final scene In game.

it feels surreal coming back to this trailer four years later and actually playing the game. man the opening alone is just so different to trailer, its crazy

Zelda: open your eyes Link: open eyes Ganondorf: you don’t mind if I open them too

Ganon: i don't always die, but when i do, i don't.

Even after all the reveals, the title, "The sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is now in development" still gives me chills

Who's here after the final trailer?! The hype is real!

This must’ve been what Zelda felt while waiting for link to finish all shrines and Koroks

Link: "Hyrule is finally safe!" Ganon: "yesn't"

0:51 notice how at this point in development the Secret Stones hadn’t even been finalised

Leakers have found that Breath of the Wild itself may have BOTW 2’s release date hidden in it. “Remember the part when Zelda says, ‘Link, you’ve been asleep for 100 years?’ There you go.”

Ganondorf: comes back to life Hyrule Castle: **chuckles** I’m in danger

I just really want to know what the original vision was here. There's no secret stones, raurus hand doesn't have sage rings and (imo) a more twili style design, no sign of a broken master sword or links arm getting torched...very curious what the original plan was.

I'm a little sad we didn't get a little more gameplay in the beginning. Traveling in the depths more with Zelda would have been fun. Either way the game is 11/10!

The spirits of the Divine Beast: we finally fulfilled our roles Ganon: About that

Zelda: exploring Link: Yo why do I hear boss music

i'm so mad we missed out on an extended opening sequence, I want to ride that dang cow thing!

Link and Zelda: Find body Link: picks up body Zelda: ew Korok: yhayhayha you found me

Link: Defeats Ganon and seals him away for good Ganon: *You fool, I have 70 alternative accounts!*

It’s so interesting how much of this never showed up in the game’s opening now that it’s out 4 years later

Almost 4 years later and the game is out. Man what a rollercoaster of emotions

Link and Zelda "How many times we gotta teach you this lesson old man"

*Plot twist:* Hestu only wanted the 900 korok seeds to resurrect Ganon.

now that the game is out, you notice like half of these clips didnt make it to the game.

Who's here after the gameplay trailer this morning? We almost made it, people! See you back here on May 12 after it's out!

R.I.P. to those who didn’t make it to play the game this year and were here excited to play like most of us

*LIFTS UP HYRULE CASTLE* “yahaha you found me!!!”

“What are you waiting for?” “I don’t know... Breath of the Wild 2, I guess” “Me, too, kid”

This trailer, in combination with trailer three, is leading me to believe Tears of the Kingdom will be an ALL TIME game.

One year anniversary lesgoooo again and again and againnnn

Link: *kills Ganon* Nintendo: *Cool but have you heard of Ganondorf?*

Fans- We want Majora’s Mask 2 Fans- We want Breath of the Wild 2 Nintendo- Yes

It's crazy that this trailer came out on my last day as a highschool senior and now this game come out a week after I graduate as a college senior

BoTW: *You have finally defeated Ganon!* Link and Zelda: *Press X to doubt*

*Fans:* Majora's mask is really creepy, I love it *Nintendo: "Bravo six, going dark."*

Welcome back everybody! It's been a long wait but we're nearly here, can't wait for the 12th of May to Ascend, Recall, Fuse and Ultrahand

Now that the game is out you can tell how early this footage was.

Ganon: *Is defeated* Few days later Ganon: *IT'S REWIND TIME*

Me : Botw lacks of this creepy ambiance in other Zeldas Sequel : *Is ThAt So?*

This trailer compared to totk, the environment and the green swirl of Rauru's hand are so much more polished and high quality, it really goes to show how taking long development times truly can polish a game to perfection.

I remember watching this trailer for the first time during the summer of 2019; I wasn’t even technically a teen yet! This game has truly been a HUGE part of my and many others’ lives!

Link: kills ganon Ganon: now Im about to do what's called a pro-gamer move

I can’t wait to see other KZfaqrs killing ganon by using tree branches again

It’s weird how many things didn’t end up being used from this trailer! For example, the thumbnail where we see what is now Rauru’s hand merging with Links arm while in the actual game itself, Link just kinda wakes up in the Room of Awakening with it after being saved by Rauru

It’s crazy how we know all about the game now and back then we knew nothing about this mysterious sequel and everyone was making theories about just a 1 minute trailer. Kinda nostalgic

link: i finally killed ganon and saved hyrule dehydrated ganon: allow me to introduce myself.

The fact that link isn't swinging a sledgehammer at all those luminous stones is unsettling me

looking at the teaser trailer again, it seems that some scenes were cut

Can’t believe this was 4 years ago

"We can now fix Hyrule since Ganon is gone" Ganon: Im about to end this princesses whole career

Zelda: "Good work Link, Hyrule is saved." Link: Ganon: "Should have aimed for the head."

This is the longest April I've ever been through days feel like years at this point just waiting on this game

Revisiting this, I'm surprised how true to the game it was. Not a lot was changed. There wasn't a luminous stone bridge or that ox--esque creature, or any creature at all in their exploration of the depths. But their discovery of Ganondorf is almost frame-for-frame the same as the reveal. That's impressive. I also still love that reverse sounding melody in music. It's still there in the final release, but it's not a direct motif to any character, and not Ganondorf's theme directly, just a foreboding theme, but it's so good.

“But did you die?” Ganon: “Sadly, yes... *BUT I LIVED!”*

Actually, that's not ganon, that's hestu's true form, now there will be 90000 seeds to collect

I can’t believe this was 4 years ago

I wish whole game had atmosphere of this teaser.

CANT WAIT TO DISINTEGRATE TWO MORE MONTHS OF MY LIFE FINDING ALL THE SHRINES

When it will finally be released: Me to my grandson: " *I will tell you what happened, a hundred years ago* "

Returning now post release, its interesting to see just how much has changed

I'm a little disappointed that they eliminated the idea of the right arm power just absorbing into Link's arm, or that they scratched the idea of Link and Zelda traveling the caverns on whatever that giant animal was, however, I do like that they originally made the champion's tunic with the same armor pieces as the original hylian tunic, and in the finished game, they changed it up a bit to make it more interesting to look at.

Everyone: Ugh why is Nintendo taking so long Zelda: *First time?*

Gamers: "BotW has great gameplay, but the story's weak." Nintendo: " *BET* "

So _that_ was the Imprisoning War!

I wish the opening was the same for the game. It seems like they cut out of lot of stuff from this trailer in the intro of the game which is a bummer because this area could’ve been a whole section to play in as the intro to the game instead of them cutting out most of it and basically making it a playable cutscene

Breath of the Wild 2: *_Now featuring up to 9999 Korok Seeds!_*

Fans: BotW didn't feel dark or creepy enough Nintendo: Hmm, okay then.

rip elephant thingy. you will be missed.

One week left everyone, start the countdown…

The best thing about legend of Zelda botw Is that you climb the highest mountain in the game and what you get is "YAHAHA YOU FOUND ME".

Guess the fourth Triforce triangle is Patience.

Coming back, I realised people thought of crazy concepts like Rauru's hand would be some kind of cursed device or like playable Zelda... Damn two years sure go by quick

Anyone else noticing that quite a lot of scenes from this trailer didn't make it into the final game? I wonder what happened.

Coming back to THIS OG trailer from June 2019 after watching the final trailer April 2023 DEFINITELY HITS DIFFERENT AND SOMEHOW FEELS NOSTALGIC!! THIS GAME WILL WIN GAME OF THE YEAR FOR SURE!!

Link: *saves Hyrule* Ganon: “YOU FOOL, I HAVE 70 ALTERNATIVE ACCOUNTS!!!”

POV: You’re waiting.

After the beating the game, I can say that not only has the game lived to the hype, but surpassed it in every way. Truly the way modern gaming should go.

Remember what they took from you. I want my giant rhino thing in the opening

The community: No zelda game will be creepier than Majoras Mask Nintendo: *Observe*

Ganon: Turns his head to face Link and Zelda Also Ganon: Snaps his neck and dies

Dawn of the Final Day -24 Hours Remain- . Almost 4 years later we will get our hands on this game and finally get context on what's happening with Ganondorf. This trailer is still creepy.

One of the millions of reasons I am greatful to be alive right now

Link: I've finally killed Ganon once and for all. Ganon: Yes you did. Link: what Ganon: what

Gotta be straight, if Link ever downright says something I'll faint.

Looking back to this, the intro to the game's changed so much since the teaser

Who else returned here after the game released?

Death: It's time to die, Ganon. Ganon: *We don't do that here*

Link: finally, I can have a normal life with the princess. Ganon: hold my malice.

This game shows us why taking time is better than rushing games. 11/10, can't wait for the dlc!

Getting back in here is kinda helpful, shows us more about that falling but we can't even see Link's maliced hand

That's honestly the most terrifying thing I've seen Nintendo put out in a while

Everyone gangsta until Hyrule castle starts walking

I wish the temple entrance at 0:45 was in the game.

We are in the final 1% waiting time

“10,000 years can give you such a crick in the neck!” 0:49
