Breath of the Wild: Trailer Analysis & Breakdown (In-depth) 

It's fun watching these several years later

10:07 Link is wearing the cold-resistant clothing here, which might indicate that you need to wear it in desert climates during the night, as temperatures in deserts can drop to below freezing point. Even the time of day influences gameplay, as you'll need heat-resistant clothing during the day and cold-resistant clothing at night. Speaking of the cold-resistant clothing reminds me; If you look at 08:40 you can see Link is wearing some kind of spiked boots, the kind mountain climbers wear. I'm wondering if there's more to it than just aesthetics.

I'm the only one who see the flower in the logo?.... is the same kind like in the place where the Master Sword rest...

Sees stable: Thats a deactivated gaurdian.

at 7:34 the fire isn't to block off the camp. But as seen in I believe was the tree house was they lit that grass on fire and due to the wind the fire spread and blew up the camp because of some explosive barrels

- I think the big "headstone rock" is just that big skull with the bokoblins and explosives in it. - The giant stalfos, although probably an original mini-boss as you speculated, could be a throwback to Majora's Captain Keeta. - When link is spreading fire, the wind blows towards the encampment and the fire spreads with the wind towards some explosives! Great breakdown of the trailer, made me appreciate it even more! Also, that enhanced image of the floating island is fascinating! When I saw it on Treehouse I assumed it was an island rather than a cloud, but I didn't see all the rocks (or houses) on top, or the structure of the island itself!

Love the intro Also in my opinion this is looking to become the one of the Greatest Games of All Time

1:41 I love that a dumb rock that holds no more purpose than a mere reference is here

looking at that creature at around 3:00 , I definitely feel it's a Stallord with its body intact.

7:18 "The shot that got fangirls screaming" Uhh yeah, fangirls. Totally fangirls.

My favorite part of Commonwealth's stream is when he said, "There are f*cking rocks!" XD

Ten seconds of the video and I've already liked it.

can confirm, this man is still a video making machine

I can't be the only one who accidentally calls the game Breath of the "Wind", right?

Grats on 11k subs, Zeltik! Well deserved.

I havent been as excited for a game since Ocarina of Time back in the 90's :)

Subbed today, I couldn't help myself, you really put a lot of time and effort into your analysis, respek man!

Hey man, I just found your channel and it looks really cool! I can tell I'm gonna enjoy your content

*Zeltik's reaction to a funny looking cloud:* "WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!?!?!?! WHAT HAVE THE GODS SET UPON US?!?!?!?!"

I've been watching your videos for a while now and I think they're brilliant! I can't wait to see more about your thoughts/theories about the actual placement of Breath of the Wild in the Zelda Timeline. I also saw your analysis (focus) video of those strange stone carvings in Twillight Princess HD and I'm wondering if you could actually try to explain them now that we know more about BotW? Anyways, keep going Zeltik and also: thanks for reading!

♡The Legend of Zelda♡ Just so pumped! Thank you for this video!

Fantastic new video I really enjoyed the video and keep up the fantastic and brilliant videos as you always do

The first 5 seconds alone already warrant a thumbs up

Its been 7 years since this trailer came out, and I am still amazed

Great analysis!!! I am so excited for this game.

Great videos! Could you do an overlay of the BotW size map with previous Zelda games for size comparison?

You're fast becoming one of my favourite channels :)

YES!!! KEEP THESE VIDEOS GOING!!! THANKS ZELTIK!

Amazing vid! Just earned yourself a subscriber

Nice catch with the LttP reference to the Master Sword at the end.

Wow watching this 6 years later....

hello sir. love your vids! have you tried reversing the song during the retail trailer? maybe there might be some clues or cool reference similar to reversing that Skyward Sword music!

I love all your analysis 😊❤️

Subbed and you deserve more subs

Could you do a video on the Sheika temple guys whilo give the orbs? I noticed that each one of them depict a different part of the Triforce with the position and shape of their hands. There's even one depicting the "empty" upside down fourth Triforce section!

do an analysis on the some of the treehouse gameplay!! there's even more interesting hidden things there too :) especially when Bill Trinen looks around beyond the plateau :3 and then they show a video right after!!!

very excited, cant wait

Nice analysis

You see the accuracy of the things he said? This shows how accurate are the his analises im Totk

I'm mega excited for it to come out! I've already preordered it on Amazon!

the looks so fun to fuck around in

Very good content, i was just wondering if you could answer one question? How are you able to make content without getting copyright claims?

I love these theory videos!

i cant wait, this game looks so good

you the man zeltik

6:30 in some gameplay footage ( I think it was nintendo minute with projared) some one said briefly that that's a flying machine made by sheika

Master Sword is not only in that location in LttP. You can also says it references TP and Skyward Sword. And TP makes it obvious that the clearing is really just a run down temple of time.

Great analysis and it wonder when the game is releasing

6:20 Maybe that artifical island was made by the Sheikah to protect themselves from Ganon? The Sheikians seem to have a strong connection to technology in this game so it would make sense.

Will the Wii version be HD and the NX version 4K? If so, I will need to buy a new tv 😄

I think it is also worth noting that the bridge in the trailer, now that we've seen it up close, looks very different from the Great Bridge of Hylia (square towers instead of hexagonal ones, a smaller opening in the gate, more windows on both the towers and gates, which are thinner and without window glass, small protrusions along the bridge itself, ect.). Of course this may just be attributed to design changes, but it could also mean that the two bridges are in fact not one and the same. This would then in turn give more credence to the idea that this game takes place in the adult timeline.

In the first scene, the stone that looks like a head could be a bokoblin "skull house" as seen in the E3 demo. In the second scene the "fallen tree" just looks like a stone formation to me. The wild horse's animation is hilarious when Link tries to mount it! Maybe the giant rib cage in the desert is of a Stallord?

The lightning! Weather should be a fun new stealth option to analyse while playing......gives a whole new meaning to the word ...stealth! Your vid is hugely analytical, as per usual....BUT, that's why we're here! 10/10 review....Cheers

That Breaking Bad opening

the rock at 1:43 is probably just another bokoblin camp, one of the hollow skull-like rocks

Holy crap the land floating in the sky looks like something special

would it be possible to directly link your videos in the watch another section at the end of your videos? So that they can be clicked on to watch it? I found myself subconsciously trying to click it a few times while watching a few of your videos and was always a bit put out that it didn't really do anything XD

Looks like there are stars behind the master sword at 11:56 Could the sword be up on a mountain? Wouldn't surprise me if you need to use the climbing mechanic to reach it.

props to u man!

What do you think the significance of the those flowers near the master sword it's also on the titles name. ?

When Link jumps from the cliff we see a log that is split, kinda reminds me of those in LTTP in the Lost Woods.

Zeltik, do you think you can do a armor prediction? In the pause menu there are 20 slots for different armor, which 4 are already taken by the blue shirt, the old shirt, old pants, and the quiver shirt. And we can add the metal armor that is shown in the trailer and the yellow armor that link wears in the "Beyond the Great Plateau" video

Did you realize at 4:18 and 8:31 that there isn't a dark force like there is in the gameplay demo around Hyrule castle. at 7:51 there is a base camp in the background. At 7:59 there is a structure built onto the mountain . Also I can't tell if it is a gate or trees ,but there seems to be something built INTO the mountain. At 9:55 and 10:26 there is a dungeon(shrine) in the background. 10:09 there is a checkpoint tower. You can see flowers shine in the background at 10:55. And last but not least at 7:49 you can see the cleffed rock. Those are just some things you missed!

how do you get the Triforces in the background pic to move?

I just discover your channel and your analaysis is on par with GameXplain. Hopefully you could be on a one of their Breath of the Wild discussion videos

i will watch any video you post on zelda

Anyone know the particular song around 1:30? I know it's something from the ZERO symphony, just not sure which.

FYI There are also fanboys of Link shirtless, not just fangirls.

I would had given you more than one like if I could! AWESOME video!!!

The first head is one of those hollow skull-looking rocks that had treasure inside, they made some barrels explode inside it during the demo and all

only I noticed that the forest that appears below when Link jumps off the cliff SS style with the power glider that de Trees on the middle of the forest with the cracks on the upper part resembles the ones you walk through them in the Lost Woods of ALttP

+Zeltik the floating island at 6:20 isn't an island at its actually something that flies around which adds to the mystery even more there is a video on it

i think the face rock is one of those huge skulls with bokoblins in them.

This seems like the imprisoning war in which the hero of time reappears as a hylian knight the armor he wears reminds me of that

can you do an analysis and Breakdown of Gamexplain video of Analysis and Breakdown of Zelda?

Hi Zeltik, another great video. I have a theory that the Great Plateau is Hyrule Castle town and the Hyrule Castle from Ocarina of Time. The Old Man states that "According to legend, this is the birthplace of the entire Kingdom of Hyrule". The Temple of Time is also present alongside a bunch of ruins, one or two of which look suspiciously like the Castle courtyard where Link meets Princess Zelda in OoT. As far as ancients ruins go in the real world, the presence of ruins, such as the Great Plateau's walls, generally mark the border of old towns and cities (such as the ruined walls of Rome).

An analysis of the old man's paraglider and the emblem on it. Also, some comments on for the first time ever Link being able to jump at free will.

did you notice how the flower in the Z of the game title is the same ones growing around the master sword where its in its pedestal. idk what importance the flower is but its in the title too! it must be smth...

How did I miss so much of this?

And from the first gameplay at the game awards when link jumped off the cliff you can see a giant log with a huge crack from the top just like in the new trailer when link hop off

Bro really call vah medo a floating island

You are amazing :)

I dont know if it has any meaning but in the title screen 12:19 you can see that the master sword is all chipped and rusty. another meaning for the story?

Not sure if it's mentioned already in the comments.. But so glad you caught that floating object 6:27 in your analysis! It's been driving me nuts no one has seen it. At first glance it reminds me of the portals from Twilight? Or maybe if there is a connection? Maybe ? sky loft??

you are amazing

master sword in a clearing here and in link to the pastzelda talks to you in both games telapathicaly?

What happens if people tried to leave the great plateau in the demo? did they come in contact with an invisible wall? Did they insta-die? anyone know?

they confirmed more characters will be voiced probably only during cutscenes or important scenes many NPCs will just probably have the usual grunt then text block

4:00 how do you know or what makes you think that its there?

The master sword has been in the woods for multiple games. TP does for certain.

That opening though

Hey zeltik, I have an idea, maybe if you put the old link amiibo on the gamepad, maybe you can obtain the green garb outfit

-FYI The "orange" underneath the tree with the exposed roots is a pile of leaves similar to the ones in WW's Forbidden Woods. They even have a bit of collision to them, as I walked over them during the demo, suggesting they behave in the same manner as in WW. (That tree is actually quite close to where the "exploration" demo started at E3.) Aside from that bit of clearing up, I think this trailer needs a proper analysis. There are many things that caught my attention, such as: -There's a strange pink and blue weapon-like structure jutting down from beneath the bridge in the valley Link rides through. -The cutscene with the Guardian coming upon Link in the rain is, in my opinion, something that happened in the past given Link's unequipped state and the fact that there's no sign of depreciation on any of the Guardians in that scene. It's possible Link was attending some sort of ceremony, given the Champion Shirt on him, that took place in the Temple of Time, as there is a concentration of deactivated Guardians around the temple. For sure, this particular color of blue appears to be closely tied to both the Royal Family and the Sheikah. One last point on this cutscene is that Link is clearly at a disadvantage, there's something lying at his feet (could be a Guardian tentacle, but it looks like cloth to me), and he reaches back as the camera pans up as if to grab a weapon or attempt to escape. It's possible Link was injured at this point, making the Resurrection Shrine (which is close to the Temple) necessary. -The "desert" area with the Bokoblin encampment and pathways built into the valley wall could actually take place in the mountains instead. I'm 90% sure there's a river or stream that runs along the bottom of that valley given the fact that we see heron-like birds rise up from it earlier in the trailer, and there's a shimmery quality to the ground during the scene where Link backflips away from the Bokoblin. -Also, the flower that is a part of the Z in the logo is only found in that shot of the Master Sword's grove. It was nowhere to be found in the demo, although there were plenty of other flowers that Link could gather. Its color is similar to Link's tunic. Perhaps the tunic was dyed with the flowers? -There are many other small things, but I don't want to make this too long. But perhaps these points could provide a good starting point for a more thorough analysis?

1:47 is it not the big skull with enemies in like in the e3 demo

Idea: The monster on top of the cliff after the beach scene looked an awful lot like Stallord from Arbiter's Grounds in Twilight Princess.

I think that in the last part ofthe video, we see the Master sword beside the twins peek. I think that the sword is a reason why the mt is in two parts. And in the bottom of the twin peeks there must be a secret we dont know about.

Plot twist: the Great Plateau is actually a fallen Skyloft

“Steppe Talus” 😂💀 knowing the actual name, steppe talus sounds so weird

Dang that was a good video

Looks like all this info about this game brought a breath of wild new life to Zeltik hahaha
